The grand annual masquerade ball has again passed into social history and the general opinion expressed is more than favorable as to its success. Not a hitch or flaw in the perfect arrangements and ihe flow of fun and frolic was unmarred from the grand inarch to the last strain of an ecstatic home waltz. The Ladies Hospital Auxiliary must be congratulated on their successful effbrts. The philanthropic nature of the ball appealed to the public and the hospital will benefit about $300. There were about one hundred and fifty couples in attendance, many coming from outside points. The costumes were the prettiest and in some instances the most striking and appropriate ever observed in Princeton. The music was fully up to standard and the supper was both choice aid satisfying. Star would have been pleased to publish the names and costumes of maskers but as only four availed themselves of the usual practice to deposit their cards it will be impossible to do so. In the opinion of many the ball was an unqualified success and creditable to all concerned. From Granite Creek, Coalmont and Tulameen came many visitors among whom were Miss Fraser, Miss McQueen, Mr. and Mrs. Marcotte, Messrs. Tingley, Dickson, Holmes and Henderson. Mrs. Daly, Miss Daly, Miss Cortigan, Geo. M. Alii on and Maurice Daly of Keremeos were at the masquerade ball and enjoyed it very mnch. Mrs Sproule, Mrs. Whillans, Mr. Hincks, Mr. McLean and Mr. Dollemore were among those attending the masquerade ball from Hedley. EAST PRINCETON NOTES. East Princeton, Jun. 3—Contractors have been making good progress on the Siniilkameen railway bridge and will have it completed in^bout three weeks. The smaller bridaes on Onemile creek are well underlay and will be ready for the steel in a snort time. Superintendent Osborne of the B C Portland Cement Co., is rushing the work on the foundations for the machin- e y and will have everything in readiness for installation by the time the rails are laid to the factory. E. P. GaiMac, superintendent of the United Empire coal mwe, returned from Spokane to lay. D. J. Innis of Keremeos visited the cement plant and coal mine and was surprised at the changes since his last visit.- In the last few days over, thirty lots have been sold, twenty of these to one party.

The entertainment given by the Dixie Jubilee Singers last evening wasxjne of the most enjoyable of its class that was ever given here. Negro songs and tnel odies are always a pleasure to hear, \ hen *ell rendered, and it is certain that too ntycind criticism was heard of the selections last evening. The members of the company are all clever, and each per-\ formed their part so well it would be difficult to make a distinction. Every number was thoroughly enjoyed by the large throng of music lovers in attendance, and the program was sufficiently varied to please the grave and the g"a* alike. The program lasted more than two hours, and as the large audience which completely filled the opera house passed out, nothing but words of praise were heard of the singers and of the society for bringing them here.—Grand Forks, N- D., Herald. The Dixies come to the I. O. O. F. hall Princeton, Thursday, Janu.ry, nth. Holiday Festivities and Entertainment Enliven Social Season. On the arrival of two teams from Princeton on Saturday afternoon last witn Mr. Craig, Mr. Hunter and the Rev. J. Williams one could not help thinking that something unusual was about to take place. It was, of course, the Christmas entertainment which was to be held in Mr.Parrish's bouse in the evening Miss Fraser opened the entertainment :with a few racy selections en the piano. Mr. Craig, who was in the chair, kept the audience in roars of laughter with some good stories, in the short intervals between the various items on the program. In the first half of the program special mention must be made of the play in two acts entitled 'Mrs. Ruggles.' This piece was screamingly funny from beginning to end and the role of Mrs. Ruggles was splendidly acted by Miss Grace Johnston. In the second half special notice was taken of the minuet danced by Tom Holmes and Miss Edna Hoitnes and a song by Miss Ina Boyd. At the conclusion of the program Mr. Craig called upon Mr. Williams to say a few words. Mr. Williams who spoke at some length was unfortunately interrupted by the coming of Santa Claus, the sleigh bells being distinctly heard, and in a minute or two Santa made his appearance amid great excitement/especially among the children. Af_jr all the presents had been distributed, Mr. Craig then called upon Mr. Fraser for a few remarks. Mr. Fraser in the course of his speech said how pleased he was to be present and thanked all the ladies and gentlemen who had helped to make the evening such a success. H2 also proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Ciaig who had occupied the chair in such an able manner, Miss McQueen who had taken such great pains in training the children to such a degree of efficiency and to Mrs. Hall and Miss Johnston. W. T. Smart also spoke and testified as to the splendid performance. Then 'God Save The King' finished off the entertainment which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The various piano accompaniments were carried out with taste by Mrs. Pendergast and Miss McQueen. The programs were beautifully designed by G. H. Dickson. The piano was kindly lent by J. T. Johnston who returned from Winnipeg in the yening and just in time for the per- rmance. Miss McQueen left for Princeton with Mr, Hubter on Sunday morning to speud the Christmas vacation. H. Martin of Vancouver has accepted a position with Mr. McTavish, merchant. I The work on the Great Northern station is practically complete. _■ Work will begifa-' this week on S. R.

SCIENCE AND INVENTION Lignite Briquette Exberiments.- The Bnreau of Mines, realizing the value of the vast deposits of lignite which' exists in several western states, and particularly in North and South Dakota, Montana and Texas, recently obtained from Germany a powerful briquette machine, whieh is being used.to determine the suitability of American lignites for the manufacture of Briquettes. The experimental work so far done has shown that lignite can be made into satisfactory briquettes at a cost that renders the manufacture commercially profitable. The extended use of lignite briquettes would serve as an important factor in the conservation of our supplies of coal. Sterilized Post Holes.—An engineer in Budapest has invented a process for the preservation of wood which bids fair to much economic importance. The process is intended to be applied to wood, used in out door construction — railroad ties, telegraph poles, fenct isades and the like. It consists in _i! sterilization of the surrounding soil by means of a liquid poured into the hole in the earth before the post or tie is- planted. The liquid is composed of chemicals which effectually destroy all insect life and all cryptogamous vegetation in the surrounding earth According to La Revue this prevents the rotting; of the wood without the necessity of/ treating.it with creosote, so that both time and expense are saved in many oases. psy* -"_*">„._ JHtr Y Conversing With Anima__ .—A cv X tain Charles Kellogg, of California, hat' appeared at Cambridge with tfce object of convincing the Harvard faculty of his ability to talk with animals. His life has been spent among the Sierra Nevadas, and his studies include the vocal sounds made by bears, squirrels, lizards, rattlesnakes, and crickets. Indeed he claims proficiency in fifteen animal la^/r\'—XJ. He has a peculiar palate, with no tbtQi and entirely lacks the cord connect! the teeth with the lips. To these p ' liarities he partly ascribes the ease wi which he imitates the sounds of insects and animals. Some of his observatio and ideas are at least interesting, if nc' convincing.

Not since Princeton was a mere 'babe in the woods,' when goldhunters flocked^ j to the new el dorado, has such a ..arge influx of people taken place as during the old year, 1911. The new year gives promise already of a still larger immigration and by .the close of 1912 there is good reason to believe that population will have easily doubled. Two causes chiefly contribute to this prediction : Sicv«A-i§stbe large number of inqui- ^___T abroad as to the natural xisources and business chances in ind about the town, .nd the other is the general development in hand ■and to be undertaken in the spring and summer. Much depends on railroad con* struction, continuous and with reasonable celerity. If the Great lNorthern and C.P.R. companies ^a_nply with the terms of their harters, and both the Dominion J Provincial governments will _rge them to do so, many miles of new line will be built this year, Mhiis bringing new country into the fzpne of^evelopment. Settlers are I ready to take up the remaining ||hinds contiguous to the railways, fining companies are patiently ^^for transportation and the nstruction of a smelter binges: \n railroad extension. The y_3iness prospects ot Princeton ''ere never brighter*ajgffl the volume JRra.de may be expected to double bis year as in last. The stores nd hotels have been taxed to their \>acity limits and enlargement is \Erogram. Busiiress and resi- 1 buildings are projected and /late is advancing. Without deration 6r|high colored word ■fitting it will thus be seen that j.e future is unquestionably roseate.' East Princeton, in no sense a rival _f the parent town, is included in .his prosperous foijeeast. It has ___i _»_^_&>- --i-Hi*' _H_fi_ merits peculiarly its own, having all the raw materials for a large manufacturing industry, the East Princeton Portland Cement works. The laying of a spur from the main line of the V.,V. & E. to the works' is nearly complete and soon the wheelsolrt__s great plant may be expected to revolve. Families of skilled workmen will make their homes here, aud the large payroll will sustain the population for a modern and progressive town. Whatever is gain to East Princeton is bound to contribute to the general welfare of the district. Hence, it would be suicidal for any individual or community to attempt knocking methods or discourage^ ment of any kind. United effort bent toward the common goal of Sniffling an incorporated town under one rule and civic government is the only system, the only method of attaining results commensurate with our vast mineral and other sources of natural wealth. It is an old story to many readers how Princeton proper has grown in face of many obstacles, political and physical. How the railway was dangled in the air for years in the pastime of political seesaw, and then when construction did begin its tardiness turned the hope and ambitions of men into despair. Both representatives in the legislatures at Ottawa and Victoria are in accord with the people regarding early completion of both the V.,V. & E. and K.V. railways. In 1912 both these main lines will be pushed on to their destination. Important railway legislation has been foreshadowed by the premier of the province, and this in connection with the building of the transprovincial automobile road means so much for this district and the whole province. The Princeton Coal & Land Co. is engaged in additions and developments to their plant and mine which will more than double the capacity. Their forward policy is certain to enhance still more and more the value of their immense coal deposits and the townsite of Princeton, the latter an asset of the company which is bound to be wealth producing with the increase in population. So iapid are the advances and discoveries of science that within the past year a volume would be necessary to even touch upon. The corpuscular theory of matter, aeronautics, wireless telegraphy, astro- physical research, all open up a wonderful field for investigation. In divine science or the realms of of spirit the revelations and discovers, a woman who passed away a year ago have annulled the faith of many, including doctors, in the theory and practice of rredieine, demonstrating an all-curative power over sin and its concomitant, dis- :as8J. ;r That there is an ever present f I I I Y 1 T T I Y Y Y I If Ricli! esiii.

The British Columbia Portland Cement Co. is erecting a half a million dollar plant, which will employ between 300 and 400 men. The United Empire Co. is shipping a lig= nite coal of the best quality and is developing immense copper deposits, requiring large reduction works and several hundred employees. The Princeton Coal & Land Co. is increasing its daily shipments to 300 tons of coal, providing employment to about 150 men. Other coal companies are spending over $2,000,000 in development, and will give work to at least 1,000 men. For transportation, East Princeton will have, in the near future, the Great Northern and the Kettle Valley lines, both of which, will pass through the townsite. East Princeton is beautifully situated on the Similkameen River, with an abundance of water power available. The new city has every facter for growth into a big industrial centre.

H. R. H. the Governor General, takes great interest in this subject, and the Convention will be held under his auspices. The members of the government and the Parliamentary leaders on both sides are furthering the arrange tnents and the railways have granted special rates. An unfounded impression prevails in some quarters that lumbermen-are opposed to forest conservation. That this is wrong is shown both by the fact that a number of the past presidents of the Forestry Association are lumbermen, and bv a further fact that this year tbe Canadian Lumbermen's Association will meet in Ottawa on Feb. 5th, and the members will join in the work of the Convention and in the banquet to be held on the evening of Feb 7th. A nutubei of distinguished men from- the United States as well as from Canada have promised to attend and the program so far arr arranged sh _>ws that the emphasis will be placed on the practical side.
