No. 44. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 19J0. $2 a Year in Advance GRAND TRUNK ROAD Princeton District will Benefit Much by Highway to Coast. Automobile Eoutes Through Interior Most Charming—Great Aid to Development. Speaking to a representative of the Daily News at Nelson Hon Thos. Taylor, Minister of Works, said: "I am strongly of the belief that the best way in which to aid in the development of this great province is by means of a sys tem of good roads connecting with the main interprovincial trunk road, thereby giving the settlers and townspeople a means of cheap access in and out of the different localities., Road from Ocean to Prairie. The greatest project which the provincial government has on hand at present, and one whtch will, when completed, take its place as an engineering feat with tbe famous roads of the Roman Empire, is the transprovincial road from the Alberta boundary line to the coast. This work is of an interprovincial nature, the two governments of British Columbia . and Alberta, working in conjunction towards the construction of a highway between Calgary and Vancouver. The road from Calgary lo the Crow's Nest and from the Crow _> Nest to Creston, with the exception of a gap of six miles between Kitchener and Goatfell, is already completed. links of Road Already Built. Regarding this great undertaking Mr. Taylor stated that commencing from the west end of the highway, there is already in existence a road from Vancouver to Hope, a distance of one hundred miles. From Hope to a point 53 miles east is another road which was built by the Royal Engineers in the early sixties. This has been reported in excellent condition with the exception of some of the bridges which need repairs. From the end of this old road, which is known as 23-mile point, Mr. Cleveland, P.L.S., is locating a route to some point on the Nicola-Priuceton road. From Princeton there is already good road connection to Cascade iu the Boundary country and to beyond Vernon in the Okanagan district. Alternative Routes. Engineers will shortly locate a road to connect with Trail from Cascade on the one hand and from Vernon on the other. This will give an alternative route between Princeton and Trail, permitting the traveller to go either through t_fe mining and fertile orchard sections of the Similkameen and Okanagan or the min ing camps of the Boundary. Magnificent Tourist Trips. The completion of this grand trunk highway will make one of the finest automobile tours to be found anywhere in the world, besides making accessible a lot of good land in Princeton district and giving transportation to mining camps now isolated and idle. Princeton must benefit immensely from the opening up of this route, since it is the diverging point for the alternative routes and the converging place of numerous trails, roads and two rivers, affording important connections with suirounding country. A short lateral road to the international boundary line from the Roche river district would prove a great feeder and offer an alternative route to the coast through Washington He Can 'Come Back.' Minister of Works, Hon. T. Taylor, is enthusiastic in his handling of this great undertaking and the development of the province generally by roadbullding. He hasshown superior ability in working out the various schemes for opening up the country and making it attractive for visitors and settlers. It is such men that add strength to the government and inspire the confidence of the people in Premier McBride to shape the destinies of this province by selecting only capable men to fill cabinet positions. Such men always 'come back' in every contest and in spite of the fumings of a guttei-7 snipe press which see failure and crookedness in any project thev do not happen to espouse. Auto Line to Coast. The interprovincial road can be in operation for the summer traffic of 1912. It would thus put to shame the snail like Jim Hill uow crawling up the Tulameen valley with the V.,V. & E on his shoulders, seemingly too much for him to pack. With the building of the interprovincial road to the coast an auto service will be regularly installed which will reduce the time now required by the railroad from three days to one to Vancouver. May the work of 'Good Roads' Taylor never slacken is the prayer of the jimhilkameen. Frank Dolletnore, mine host of the Similkameen hotel, Hedley, was in town yesterday. W. D. Lawson, manager of the Eastern Townships bank, Keremeos, will not act as accountant here, as stated in the Star last week, being only transferred temporarily to assist Mr. Carmichael, and will be transferred shortly as manager of an- othesfbranch. ^Robert Stevenson was taken to the hospital at Hedley last week suffering from a carbuncle, which caused him much pain. A myriad of friends all over the province will be glad to see him around again. TBE WEEKLY CRIST Landhunters Look Over this Section—Gt. Northern Officials Here.

Vancouver Apple Show, the biggest ever, Oct. 31st to Mov. 5th. Don't fail to see it. More buildings erected this year in Princeton than any year previous.

Fraser, manager for the Columbia Coa' & Coke Co., was in town Friday. 'Chatty' Chatterton, representing the R. P. Rithet Co., w .s in town last Saturday. F. Revely left for Vancouver last Saturday having, after about a dozen years' residence in the Similkameen, decided to reside in that city, where he has con; siderable real estate interests. E. O. DeLong was down from Granite Saturday and reports prosperity aud progress. Messrs. Lowenberg, Blaketuore and Collett of Vancouver were recent visitors to Princeton, being driven here by J. Murray from Nicola. They went out to Fivemile to look over that section, soon to be t .pped by the Kettle Valley railway now in course of construction from Midway and Merritt. The Fivemile countrv bulks largely in the eyes of prospective homeseekers and investors. V HOW IT HAPPENED. The fact that the last two editions of Star were of the same date seems to have afforded some jokers an opportunity tor poking fun, while, on the other hand it is seriously commented upon by those who have learned to look on its pages as being as accurate and reliable as its heavenly namesakes in their circuit through space. In the hurry and excitement incidental to sending the last form- to press the galley slave changed the date a week ahead instead of leaving it at normal, the mistake being discovered by the editor just as the 'devil' was throwing off the last quire from the press, too late to remedy. The unfortunate error is not likely to be perpetrated again in the next thousand years, at least by the galley slave, who has been fired, and the whole office staff has been warned to not let the dates get mixed again on pain of excommunication. Lest there should be any fear of missing a number Star informs subscribers in arrears that they will receive 52 numbers this year as formerly. RAILWAY OFFICIALS VISIT. General Manager Grueber and Chief Engineer Hogeland of the Great Northern, with President Elliot of the Northern Pacific as their guest, were chief of a party, arriving on a special train early Sunday moruing. President Elliot takes an abiding interest in Princeton and he is reported to be looking for coal ground in this section. Messrs. Grueber and Hogeland went over the extension of the V..V. & E. to Tulameen. As the grade is in the last stages of completion it is probable a report of acceptance will issue and nothing further be done until next spring. No hint of new work was given out, the outlook now indicating that the V.,V. & E. will be given a long rest. Meanwhile the C.P.R. is building the Kettle Valley line from both ends and Princeton is not without hope. - GRANITE CREEK NEWS. From Our Own Correspondent. Granite Creek, Oct. 22—Frank Garrison and Gus Clerf arrived Monday evening with two large boilers for the compressor at the Columbia Coal & Coke Co's works. Most of the buildings on Cardiff townsite have been erected and are awaiting the finishing touches. Judge Murphy arrived home last week from Pike's mountain. Thos. Rabbits is erecting a modern 10- roomed honse on Rabbitt Creek. Mrs. J. C. Catlett will take charge of the boarding house at the C.C. & C. Co's works. James Brown is now occupying the new dwelling recently erected by R. Lawrence. Louis Marcotte arrived home from a visit to the Spokane fair the first of the week. The 4-C's Co. has started the work on the offices and dwelling houses on the ground formerly owned by T. Rabbitt. A strange animal, long and low set, about the height of a coyote and which lives in water, was seen several times recently down 'in the bottom owned by Mrs. James. Several shots have been fired at it by our best marksmen but it seems to dodge the bullets just at the right time. Its right name is not known but the descriptive one, 'amphibious bivalopus' is locally applied to it and answers the purpose. It seems to loiter around the soup springs at Welldo a great deal. It is believed to be the same animal that treed 'long' Hitchings and his son on a dark night in November five years ago. mil H.U, 1 = -a THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR October 26, 1910. 'The Similkameen Star.

The general appearance of a town at first sight to a visitor often decides in his or her mind the probability of becoming permanent residents. With a favorable impression of location, scenic aspect and business prospects to begin on an intending purchaser is more than half won. The cleanliness and neatness of streets, the painted buiidings and tidy yards, the orderliness and attractiveness of the people, the pure water supply and fire protection, the religious and educational facilities, the prevailing good moral and social qualities of citizens, all make a grand asset, the value of which cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. Princeton has this asset. Besides there is a glorious climate, unbounded mineral wealth, fishing and hunting and scenic grandeur which cannot be surpassed in all the world. No traveller in countries famed for scenery has ever seen anything to equal our Hope range of sierras with glaciers, lakes and streams. And all within a few hours' ride of the big cities at the coast when the V.,V. & E. is completed. The hospital now nearing completion is an investment of the people of this district which puts Princeton on a plane with the most advanced towns in the province As a meaus for the relief ot suffering humanity the modern hospital cannot be dispensed with. It has the proper equipment for coping with disease or accident and is the only place where high class trained nursing is enabled to carry out the physician's order with complete satisfaction to all concerned. In brief, the hospital is indispensable for all those who trust in material remedy. It will require the united help of all in Princeton district to equip and maintain this institution, and everyone should consider it a real privilege as well as a duty to contribute toward that end. It seems likely that the interprovincial trunk road will be complete by the end of 1912. Hon. Thos. Taylor, minister of public works, is vigorously pushing the work and the coming session of the legislature will probably see a large appropriation of money for the purpose. Tbe government cannot fail to make good on this great public work.

The Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co. at its annual meeting announced the net profits for the past year to have been $564,946. The actual cost of mining this year is $2 70 per ton, a decrease of 41 cents as compared with last year. Rescue stations with improved methods for saving life are being established at some of the large coal mines in the province by the government. By the new methods a rescuer can with the aid of a helmet work in deadly air. It costs $2 a ton freight on coal from Princeton to Oroville. Seven Slav coal miners in Alberta were J recently fined for working more than 8 hours a shift, that being the limit prescribed by law. In the St. Eugene mine at Moyie there are 18 miles of underground workings. Last year, ending June, the mine shipped] over a million dollars worth of ore. The complete battery of eight furnaces, will be in operation by the ist of Nov. 1 The Canadian Northern Coal & Coke I Co. is diamond drilling on the North j Thompson river. | NOTICE.
