Call of the West to the East for Capital to Develop Vast Resources—Minerals of Similkameen Inviting* V.,V. & E. Finished to Princeton, Line is given over to Operation of Regular Service—Construction to the Coast kwill Undoubtedly be Continued—Era of Development. 1 Railway Activities. The political and business atmosphere having been cleared of ali fog by the lesult of the recent elections the Simil- Jtameen and, in fact, the whole of British Colnmbia, are active with railway projects. Many millions of dollars will in a few years be spent in the building of these necessary adjuncts of progress and prosperity. There is no reason why this province should not be the leading one of the Dominion. It vastly excels any other in natural resources and has a long seaboard. The V., V. & E. is about to forge its last link in the line to the coast, thus affording outlet to the immense mineral wealth of the Similkameen. Truly the fututre is roseate. Line Is Inspected. The final act in the drama of railroad construction, begun some four years ago on the V.,V. & E. between Midway and Princeton, was the examination of the road between Keremeos and Princeton last week by H. A. K. Drnry, Dominion government inspector of railways. His duty is to report on \he safety and solidity of construction generally and of bridges in particular. He will make a very favorable report of the portion inspected, having expressed satisfaction with all that he saw. Well Constructed Road. The building of the V..V. & E. has been carried out with a thoroughness which makes it one of the best roadbeds on the continent. Its grades are the best obtainable, withstanding competitive rates by the leading transcontinental lines. Iu its perfect construction there is evidence of intention to verify the statement made by President J. J. Hill a year or two ago at a Winnipeg banquet that he would build from there across the prairie to the Pacific coast by the most direct route with low grades. The V.,V. & E. is a link in the proposed direct route. As a tonnage producing route it is without a peer, crossing a fertile wheat belt for 860 miles, then through the Rocky and Selkirk mountains for some 400 miles with coal and ore producing tonnage all the way. Apostle of Low Grades. : As the apostle of low grades and big loads Mr. Hill has circumvented toboggan slides. What he cannot ciawl over quicklv and handily he goes through. With the elimination of a hump or two between Oroville and Midway the V., V. & E. will have the lowest mountain grade in B.C. Hope mountains have never been considered impracticable for railway purposes, but they served the purpose of being the politician's bugaboo. There are three lines ready to negotiate Coquihalla Pass and whether they build conjointly or separately through it is of no concern to the public. The nearest route to Vancouver, the great seaport of the west, is the commercial chute for the grain of the prairies and the mineral tonnage of the mountains. The completion of the Panama canal in 1915 will witness the beginning of a stupendous ocean borne trade from Vancouver. Railway presidents see it and act accordingly. Rightofway Agents Coming. Following is from Vancouver World : "The Great Northern now has agents out purchasing the right of way on the proposed route from Abbotsford to the Hope Mountains, and from Princeton to Hope Mountains." This was the pronouncement made this morning by Mr. John R. Snapp, general right of way agent of the Great Northern railway. Mr. Snapp has just returned from Chicago, where he was in consultation with the headquarters' staff of the Great Northern. The result of the conference was his getting instructions to get right of way purchase agents out at once along the trail location lines. These men are now busy, and in the same territory are the engineers who are making the final observations that will determine the exact location of the line and its grades. The trial location lines and the field notes of the engineers were enough to satisfy the department heads of the Great Northern that a feasible route had been found and there is every indication that the construction gangs will be close on the heels of the final survey men. The line fiom this end now is complete from Vancouver to Abbotsford. It is evidently the intention of the company to commence construction from both ends of the gap now between Abbotsford and Princeton. The rich mineral veins of the similkameen seem at last likely to be able to send forth their wealth which has so far been tied up for want of transportation facilities. The New Order of Things. It is expected that tomorrow will see the first regular train in Princeton. It should have been here seven years ago. Its arrival, though heralded with no dis play, not even the Board of Trade taking cognizance of it, is the signal for the onward march after years of marking time. From this time all commercial progress must date ; the beginning of the era of development assumes form ; prosperity results from accessibility to the treasure fields of ore and coal and the foundations of a city are made pos sible and highly probable. The contractors have all completed the work of grading, the coal spur being the last to be finished. Steel will be laid to the Vermilion Forks Co's tipple in a day or two. The station yard is complete with extensive sidings an 1 tbe building of the station is now in progress. All the accessories of a large station and yard are being provided. A separate building for the use of engineers on construction west of Princeton will be erected on Vermilion Av., near the cave. The site of the round house, supply depot and large circular track for turning whole trains, as well as engines, are located on what is locally known as Waterman's Flat. Here the transformation almost amounts to desecration, for the beautiful sylvan glades, so often the resort of picnickers and cooing parties, have been cleared away and burned, making room for rails and timber and the other inartistic materials required for railway construction. Expert Engineers. The engineering staff, officials and contractors of the Great Northern employed here in recent years have been and are, gentlemen with whom it is a pleasure to do business and have social intercourse. Many thousands of dollars have been disbursed here by them, to the benefit of the whole community. In Messrs. Kennedy and Baldwin the Great Northern have two expert pathfinders who cannot be excelled in any country. While it has been difficult to procure any public information from engineers it is due not so much to self restraint as the amenities which their high positions impose. As chief of the engineer staff here Mr. Kennedy is held in high esteem by all subject to his orders. LORDS REJECT BUDGET. Britain in the Throes of Constitutional Deadlock Just Now. The house of commons by a vote of.' 349 to 134 passed the resolution of premier Asquith to the effect that in rejecting the government's budget bill, the house of lords has committed a breach of the constitution and unsurpassed the rights of the house of commons. Arthur Henderson, leader of the labor party in the house of commons, announced that the government would have tne whole hearted support of the laborites. Premier Asquith announced in the house of commons that the government had 'advised the king to dissolve parliament and that his majesty had accepted the invitation. The premier added that if the liberals were returned to power, the first act of the government would be the re-enactment of all taxes for which provision was made in the budget rejected by the house of lords. GREAT NORTHERN ACTIVE. The Spokesman Review of recent date contains the following regarding a new Great Northern route to the coast. By some this toute is thought to have some relation to the V. V. & E. now building to the Coast. Time alone will reveal what this relation will amount to. Twisp, Wash., Dec, 1.—A. F. Whitcomb chief engineer of the western division- of the Great Northern, with headquarters in Spokane, paid the Methow Valley a visit in connection with the Great Northern survey party, which has a survey completed from Pateros, on the Columbia, up to the Methow river to a point ten miles above this place. After making a careful examination of the survey, the country in general and the conditions prevailing with regard to the continuance of the work, Mr. Whitcomb said he had instructed that the survey be continued about ten miles further up stream, to early winters river. When that point is reached, the party will work back on the survey, making permanent location on the line. The party, of about fifteen men, will be occupied until spring with the work outlined by Mr. Witcotab. Mr. Whitcomb admitted that a party is locating a cutoff from the main line in the vicinity 'of Blue Stem, running through the Davenport country to the Columbia river. With the survey of the Great Northern Skagit river line completed up the west side of the Cascades and the survey from the main line across the Columbia and to a connection with the Columbia river line, in conjuction with the survey now being made through the Methow valley connecting the two surveys, the conclusion forces itself many declare, that the Great Northern is at last taking steps to carry out its intention of long standing to build a new main line from Spokane to the Coast. -isarat -=-- wmmc^&mx .^mnai'inHiy: THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR December 8, 1909 The Similkameen Star. - — jL.

The . days of the stage coach and big-freight,, wagon are numbered. Time last ofi thei>'skinners' will soon haVe'laid down his whip and uttered his'nnal curse at fh'e'strihg of horse's struggling up grade or around some, dangerous curve. The glamor and. luring 'elements which enter- into frontier life of mining camps' disappear with the ;adwan'ce of the iron horse.. Wanderlust takes ou a new form and instead of the kicking cay use the elegant railroad ceacb is-- employed. ■ •-.. • J'" ■" " '■•■ The coming of theV.,V. &*E'. (o Priqcetou has already given a notable impetus to coal mining. Where one miner constituted the payroll for years in supplying the local demand for coal a hundred men will shortly be employed. Besifle'"t'he' Vermilion' Forks 'Co', which is the pioneer, there are three other companies which are preparing to operate. ••iTbesef include the compan-y which" will manufacture 'coke -from the North' Fork coal'.'; It fs'Within the. limit of every reasonable possibility ;that two or .three .thousand coal miners' will find employment here in a year 'or two. Then there are the adjacent 'ore 'mining c'arhps which areT bound to contribute immensely to 1 the general payroll of this district. Cement, brick, ilime, paint, gold and platinum dredging, lumber and many other industries, including, rancpiqg^and,jr.uit gr'ow,- ing will begin and expand in the wake of the railway, j The yast and varied mineral resources of Princeton district are perhaps, the richest in the world. The great Dr. Dawson, geologist and author, after a yisit.ta this .-field, said that unless geology-had'gone altogether a:sttay this district wobld prove to be' brie'of the richest in the world. Other geologists agree that it is a most interesting and promising fie'e for :r.vest?g*V,jo*.'. Er.oir-1 has been done to convince the most skeptical person that this is a field oflering , exceptional .^jnjducemept^ for capital. One thing is certain. The V., V. and E- would never have been built but for the tonnage its directorate foresaw in and about Princeton,! ' He would be a bold man to predict the growth of Princeton in the next few years. The v., V. & E. will continue construction to the coast via the recently much disputed Coquihalla Pass. The Kettle Valley-is-not a 'hot air' line, but a real and tangible enterprise that will afford access to some splendid ore bodies along its route. This road must touch'Princeton as a matter of business policy and in redemption of a political promise. With-^Ee record of a hundred' western mining camps and towns before us, no one can deny that the outlook is exceedingly rosy and encouraging. The;.,.railroad • has made all things possible in a commercial sense; Nature has provided a' tn'Ost'M'brtM able place to build a e'it$ on and the western spirit of progress, is dominant in,,tb,e,p/eopj£,.and iiji,tjbje government. ■■■ , NOTICE, CO. will apply to the -Parliament of Canada at its neittsesSion for an Act authorizing the construction of an extonsion oi its line from a point on it-f authorized railway near Coldwater Kiver, by the most feasible route to the navigable waters of the Fraser River, in the Province of British Columbia, fqr an extension ot tfone for the commencement and compjetion ox4ts rajgway liae;, heretofore authori&d by the .Parliament oftl Canada, and for othe»- jmrposef* j&q;mye|s, ■ -& U Secretary, .»* «** "£.'

Good intentions will not help a man along the way if he takes the wrong road. It is impossible to build up character] on the ones you smash. \ Those who criticise the lives of others forget that they hav^'faults too, but they cannot see them in their eagerness to denounce Once it is known that a person practices deception then is all influence for good departed. A deceiver cannot respect himself, although he thinks he is clever. To say that any evil is necessary is a contradiction in terms. How could anything not good be good or necessary for' humanity? Yet there are seme who say there is necessary evil. Beware of those who are oily and smooth to your face but behind your back are always ready with the hatrtner. The! good Book classes them as 'wolves in | sheep's clothing,' the sneakiest of all' animals. The woman who tries to conceal herj Age is old enough to know better. NOTICE. YALE DISTRICT.

It is impossible to build up character on the ones you smash. Those who criticise the lives of others forget that they have faults too, but they cannot see them in their eagerness to denounce Once it is known that a person practices deception then is all influence for good departed. A deceiver cannot respect himself, although he thinks he is clever. To say that any evil is necessary is a contradiction in terms. How could anything not good be good or necessary for humanity ? here are some who say there is necessary evil. Beware of those who are oily and smooth to your face but behind your back are always ready with the hatr. mer. The good Book classes them as 'wolves in sheep's clothing,' the sneakiest of all -animals. The woman who tries to conceal her age is old enough to kuow better. Some fellows can t understand why the world won't accept them at their own estimate. A kind heart and rough thoughts never mix:. TICMITS Myrtle IlN-avg \ ITiiicco Largest Sale in Canada F. W.
