Vol. X. No. 47. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 19091 $2 a Year in Advance ALL RIGHT Security for Every Dollar Guaranteed to the Canadian Northern—Railways the Crying Need of Province* Mackenzie & Mann Give Security on Valuable Railway Pro- perty==Fir"st Mortgage is the Safest Form—Canadian Northern has Valuation of $160,000,000. As security tliat the bond guarantee can never, by the remotest chance, cost the provincial treasury one dollar, British Columbia has : I. The value of the line upon which a first mortgage is given. 2._The*net value over all incumbrances of thejpjproperty of the company which gives the guarantee of indemnity. 3. The ability of the men in control of the company to make a success of their ' undertaking. 4* The financial record and reputation.' of these men, and the value to them of preserving their financial prestige unimpaired. These are considerations that would be taken into account by any trust com-t pany in making an actual cash loan on such security. Will earn surplus revenue in the present case: 1.a "While the bond guarantee is for only $35,000 per mile, the actual cost of construction will be some $50,000 per mile: or on the whole line a total of $9,- 000,000 more than the amount of the guaranteed bonds. To verify this estimate compare the cost per mile of the G.T.P. in British Columbia as shown by published contracts for construction of the grade only. Compare also the outstanding stock and bonds per mile of other transcontinental lines on even their prairie sections. b. The proposed line will be of immense value to the C.N.R. as a revenue producer from the very outset, It will carry a large volume of traffic between British Columbia and the prairie served by thousands of miles of road already in operation there. The reason why the C.N.R. want to build the line is because it will earn that company a large revenue over and above interest and other fixed charges on the entire $50,000 per mile that the company exnects to pay for its construction. C.N.R. property is worth $150,000,060. In addition to a first mortgage On this line the C.N.R. gives a guarantee of indemnity to the province. What is the net value of the other property ownsd by the company ? One way of estimating this would be to compare its net earnings after paying interest and other fixed charges, with the net earnings of other railways, whose total net earnings may be computed from the market price of their stock. It so happens, however, that an estimate has already been made by competent appraisers. Five years ago Hon. R. P Roblin mentioned publicly that the C.N.R'. company had been offered $25,000,000 for its railway by auotherHlranscontinental company. It had then 890 miles ; now it has 4,300. Today the earnings of the C.N.R. are more than six times what they were then and its future is vastly more secure. It is well within the mark to place the present net value of the system at $150,000,000. Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann demonstrated their ability to make a success of a railway enterprise at the very outset of their career as railway proprietors. This began with the extension of a line 123 .miles long. Mackenzie & Mann made their road pay .from the first. They have since gone on building and purchasing railwavs and in every single year their lines have made a profit. Their record as financial operators has never been approached by any other transcontinental line. The C.P.R. in its early years was forced to go to parliament for a loan of $20,000,090. Mackenzie & Mann are not now making their final appearance upon the money market. They will have other securities to issue. Coming to western Canada from Ontario some 25 years ago with but few dollars, their ability has built up properties that have a net value of over $260,000,000. Are these men with these resources and with this record going to defanit payment of a comparatively small sum of money when by so doing they would lose possession of a great successful transcontinental railway, and also destroy their financial reputation which they have earned in a lifetime of business activities ? RAllWAYS-PROfiRESS Provincial Press Almost Unit on Railway Question Before People. Province has it in Power to Obtain Railway—Four Transcontinen- , tal Lines. The railway agreement upon which the McBride government is appealing to the electorate, although falling short in a few respects of what was expected, constitutes the. boldest and most progressive step ever taken by a government of British Columbia. It is gratifying that after the long period of inaction since British Columbia entered the Canadian Confederation the province has at last decided to enter upon the march of progress with the other members of the union. The people of the interior of this province have for a quarter of a ceutuiv been hoping, waiting, pra3-ing, imploring, ane during the last few years, clamoring for railroads. Premier McBride has risen to the occasion and has given the province the best railway policy he could. It will give British Columbia, in the Canadian Northern another transcontinental railway that will send out feeders into every ifnportant section of the province ; and it will give southern British Columbia direct communication between the coast the Kootenays ahd southern Alberta. In fact, in the Midway-Princeton-Nicola line it will add practically another trans- provincial railway and shorten the distance across the province to a considerable extent. j&i ;;' What does the province give in order to secure these roads ? To the Canadian Northern it gives vir tually nothing. To be sure it guarantees the bonds on that line at four per cent., reckoned at thirty-five thousand dollars per mile for six hundred miles. No province has ever yet been called upon to pay interest on roads built by the Canadian Northern for the simple reason that the traffic has always been sufficient to pay it. The raiiway company requires this guarantee merely to enable it to raise the necessary capital in the world's money markets to finance its enterprise. The province will, under normal conditions, never be called upon to pay a dollar of that guarantee. The Kettle Yalley Railway Co. will receive seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars as a subsidy for one hundred and fifty miles of road from Penticton to Nicola. For this, that company will build from Midway to Penticton and from Penticton to Nicola, with a probability of an early extension of a line up the North Fork of the Kettle River, one to Princeton and one a direct line from near Otter Flat over the Hope mountains to connect with a line to the coast. This is pretty good for a start. The province must have roads and it would pay the government to build them and give them to the railway companies if it could get them in no other way. What is the difference to the province in general if the Canadian Northern does parallel the C P.R. from Kamloops to Hope if it can secure the best grade that way ? It will provide a shorter route than at present exists across the province.—Penticton Press. TOWN AND DISTRICT. The Hon. Edgar Dewdney is on his way from England to Princeton.

Princeton, B.C., October 13th. 1909. It is in the nature of some people, to be obstinate and obstructive. Their egotism and vanity prompt resistance to any effort of .which they are not the promoters. The nomination of R. Elmhirst in opposition to L. W. Shatford is a case of combined obstinacy and blind self importance without a parallel in any election. Here is a man who taking advantage of the disorganized condition of the Liberal party lends himself to the manipulations of two or three designing and pushful obstructionists. The so called Liberal convention at Keremeos was merely tbe rendezvous of an insignificant number of quasi Liberals from Fairview, Keremeos and Hedley. The remaining and most important sections of tbe constituency were not consulted. Therefore Mr. Elmhirst can in no wise be considered as a choice representative of Liberals but merely the instrument of a disgruntled faction who want to pose as having some political weight or influence, but who are really nothing more nor less than heelers, recipients or prospective recipients of patronage from Ottawa. Now that Mr. Shatford is denied a genuine and honorable claim to election by acclamation by the nomination of Mr. Elmhirst it forever bars the door against any Liberal being elected for Similkameen. It was a compliment which would have immeasurably elevated the Liberals in the estimation of the whole electorate. Moreover, it would have been generous recognition of services well performed, of fair and non-partizan representation and of honesty of purpose and deed. Honor loving Liberals and all good citizens will revolt at the needless expense of time and money involved in this election. Even the nearest friends of Mr. Elxhirst admit that he has not a ghost of a chance to beelected—but, they say, 'it will pave the way for his future candidacy.' The Liberal party of British Columbia as well as of Ottawa ought not to be misled by irresponsibles. If brains, capacity and part}- allegiance count for anything the mere effervescence of heelers ought not to be considered. Many oldtirre Liberals are offended by the intrusion of those who have never had any place in the party except by NOTES AND COMMENTS. Mr. Elmhirst enters the contest without prestige,, experience or newspaper endorsement. Where can he hope to get 'off at' without these and the assistance of a united party behind him ?

Six years of faithful representation and another six ready for you at the request of electors. Socialists have gained in the esteem of the people by withholding any pushful candidate of their political creed. An election in the Similkameen is wholly uncalled fur and ought never to have been permitted. Iu this connection the law ought to be amended ; requiring two-fifths of the voters to ap? pend their names to any candidate's nomination papers. Princeton polling division must sustain its record and put the man who has fulfilled his promises before one who has yet to be proven. Mr. Elmhirst may grow cabbages and hay successfully and even turn out a good quality of hog but does he or his political midwives hope or expect to l.ave him returned on the qualifications mentioned. Mining is the backbone of the Similkameen. Without it there would be no demand for hogs cr hay here. Mr. Shatford has invested many thousands of dollars in the mining industry here. How much has Mr. Elmhirst spent in developing the mineral resources of the Similkameen ? Does he even own a miner's certificate ? Do his political godfathers take any interest in mining or any other substantial industry ? What are his business qualifications for the position of representative? Can he originate or initiate legislation? Has he sufficient information and culture to enable him to reflect credit upon his constituents? Has he any business qualifications to recommend him as representative ? Premier McBride has given cspa- ble administration and the country is progressive. Taxes have been reduced owing to the increased prosperity. Vote for Shatford and prosperity. NOTICE.

C COPPER HANDBOOK (New Edition issued March, 1908.) SIZE: Octavo. PAGES: 1228." CHAPTERS: 25. SCOPE: The copper industry of the world. COVERING: Copper history, geology, geography, chemistry, mineralogy, mining, milling, leaching, smelting, refining, brands, grades, impurities, alloys, uses, substitutes, terminology, deposits by districts, states, countries and continents, mines in detail, statistics of production, consumption, imports, exports, finances, dividends, etc. The Copper Handbook is concededly the World's Standard Reference Book on Copper. The miner needs the book for the facts it gives him regarding geology, mining, copper deposits and copper mines. The metallurgist needs the book for the facts it gives him regarding copper milling, leaching, smelting and refining. The copper consumer needs the book for every chapter it contains. It tells what, and explains how and why. The investor in copper shares cannot afford to be without it. The Copper Handbook gives statistics and general information on one hand, with thousands of detailed mine descriptions on the other, covering the copper mines of the entire world, and the 40 pages of condensed statistical tables alone are worth more than the price of the book to each and every owner of copper miuing shares. PRICE : $5 in buokram with gilt top, or #7.50 in full library morocco. TERMS : The most liberal. Send no ' money, but order the book sent you, all carriage charges prepaid, on one week's approval, to be returned if unsatisfactory, or paid for if it suits.

The Winnipeg Free Press, recognized everywhere as the leading exponent of liberalism in the whole of western Canada, discussing premier McBride s railway policy in so far as it effects the Canadian Northern railway, says: "The guarantee applies to the principal as well as to the interest. "There is, however, nothing exceptional in this. The Manitoba guarantees, which form the model for all these bond-guaranteeing enterprises, are guarantees of principal. If they were not they would be of no particular value to the railway company." In other words, according to the Press this is exactly what the governments of Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario,and of the Dominion has already t 1 I t A FULL LINE OF Lowney's CHOCOLATES 1 I T g The City Drug Store j £ has a varied stock to P f» select from.
