Vol. X. No. 52. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1909. $2 a Year in Advance TENDERS CALLED FOR Construction Between and Abbotsford on theV„V.&E. Hope Regular Train Service Expected to Princeton Tomorrow—Station Near Completion. Tenders areiAow being called for the. construction of'the V., V & E. line between Abbotsford and Hope, a distance of 78 miles, and also between Princeton' and Tulameen. The gap between Tulameen and Hope is to be covered, it is expected, by the proposed eight mile tunnel. Messrs. Charles F Folliott of Guthrie & Co. of St. Paul, and J. A. Kellett of Foley, Welsh & Stewart are now iri Vancouver iu connection with the ten-; dering and J. H Kennedy, chief enginj eer of the Great Northern Railway company is also in Vancouver, The engineer's office for the accommodation of the.staff employed on V.'.V. & E. construction west of Princeton, has been completed. Engineer Hale will be chief of staff and have charge of the grading work as far as Tulameen. From present indications it looks as if Jim Hill's artillery would again be peppering ,away at the rock fortresses as soon as the j holiday armistice was over. All the contractors' equipment is now in the yard, ready for use westwards. Engineer Russell, now revising the line between Granite Creek and Prince- s ton, is expected to finish this week. No Crightofway has been purchased as yet. The Russell party will proceed to Oro- , ville and run a line up the Okanagan river to Penticton. The Great Northern is alive to the great productiveness of the fertile Okanagan valley when cultivated ' and is shaping for the fruit tonnage to be hauled to the Northwest provinces and the Koote nays. It will be a welcome competitor to the C.P R. Regular trains are expected to begin running tomorrow, connecting "with the through train for Spokane at Oroville. The station building is about ready for occupation. j||| TOWN AND DISTRICT. The Sunday School Christmas entertainment is to take plaice on Tuesday evening the 28th Dec.

Secretary Marlow has^received a lot of letters of acceptance in answer to invitations to the masquerade ball on New Year's Eve'. * The event promises to be the most successful of the kind ever held in the Similkameen valley. Fresh made candy at Princeton Bakery and Confectionery. Christmas buyers should have compassion on the clerks in the stores by not leaving to the last day their shopping. Those-who serve behind the counter will be unable to enjoy their holiday with the rest of the people if they have to work till midnight the previous night. A Burns Club, composed of admirers of 'Nature's Poet,' is talked of and will, it is expected, be organized in time for the celebrated bard's anniversary, 25th January, 1910. Miss Olding, sister of Mrs Hunter, is a visitor at Maplehurst, having arrived on Sunday from Grandforks. Fresh mixed candy at 25c. per lb.' At Princeton Bakery and Confectionery.

Miss Carson, teacher, is sparing no effort to make the' occasion a grand success. Conic, all. Admission, 50c.j'childftftv under 14 years of age, 25c. Concert begins at 8 p.m. A. L. White writes from Greenwood that he will be in Princeton as soon as he can get rates from the Great Northern. In any case his brother will shortly be in Princeton to fix up building. S. R. Gibson and family of Goldbank farm, Fivemile, and .uncle Wesley expect to spend Christmas in Chilliwack and at thexoast visiting relatives. Dell Young and wife arrived home last Wednesday from a very pleasant visit extending as far east as Minneapolis, 'Sainte Paulee,' Chicago, and the old Wabash down in O-hi-o. They are glad to be" back on Happy Valley farm, where there are no such terrors as flying machines, autos or buzz saws. Railroad contractors Hankinson, Cunningham and McDonald have gone to Spokane and on return expect to make the dirt fly on the line westwards. A CHRISTMAS CARD. Christmas bells are ringing, All mankind are wishing, Each to have a very merry time. To you and yours come greetings, From us and ours now meeting; At this dear old Christmas Time.

Observed throughout all Christendom by religions and social usages and customs. It is the one day of the year when fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters look for the return of those members of the family who are afflicted with wanderlust. Family and other social reunions are reserved for Christmas, when gifts and other tokens of love and friendship are made a part of the joyous occasion. It is the one, supreme day of all the year when the heart is moved to do generous and kindly deeds. When everybody wants to be happy and in some way is willing to conduce to the happiness of others. O, that the Christmas spirit would per- • vade the whole year. .,'£{ijj Few people, in the anticipation and whirl of Christmas festivities, ever considenfthe originating factor of^all that the day represents and the joy it brings. | Beyond all question, Christmas,- as the natal day of Christ, is the most momentous day of all time and all civilized history* The ancient's looked forward to "it and we look back to it. It is the day ;of deliverance from the slavery of sin for all who believe in and confess Him before men. No other Name written that has the power and attractiveness of Christ. It is the Name men profane and swear by because there is none greater, thus unconsciously rendering homage to the greatest Personage the world has ever known. Christmas will have due observance in Princeton. Every home and every table will be supplied with the things which make for comfort and happiness. The children live in a land of plenty and no: one of them will be forgotten or lack in those things which recall memories of the day. Star extends very best wishes to all, hoping this Christmas will be one of their best and happiest. OLD COUNTRY ELECTIONS. The general elections now in progress in Britain are of especial interest to Canada and all the other self-governing colonies within the empire. A.principle is involved in them which is dear to all liberty loving peoples and which is essential to government by the people and for tbe people—it is the principle of responsible • government. The house of lords is not a respon sible body, members having the power to legislate and make laws affecting the Empire through inheritance or the mere accident of birth. They are not responsible to anybody and are subject to no authority. They are supreme, having the power to veto any measure the Commons may pass. It is this veto power, exercised by the always Conservative house of lords upon the Liberals, that has given rise to a grave crisis. The great mass of the people, it is believed, will no longer tolerate the interference of an irresponsible nobility with the representatives of the electors in the house of commons. The idea of. a class of people, many of whom are without merit or ability, taking, part in legislation on no other qualification than that his father was a peer is particularly repugnant to the westerner, who cares nothing about ancestry, titles or class. To him the man of merit and ability, chosen • by the electors, is alone.fit to make laws. The lords have privileges denied their fellow subjects in not being liable to arrest or imprisonment at any time of their lives, or of any peeress, for any civil offence, a monstrosity that would not be tolerated in Canada for an hour, i KAy"P^r /">■£ >.*' So long as there is a privileged class of peers artd an established church Canadians will hesitate, if not absolutely refuse, to be brought into closer relations with the old country. They do not want to be subjected in anyWay to "the domi- nancy of an aristocratic body ot hereditary- legislators, a. considerable proportion of Whom are imbecile'or otherwise Unfit to make or unmake laws for a progressive and intelligent nation. .The 'common people' outnumber the lords by many millions. , Yet the lords rule. A very unjust and a very painful case'of tbe minority governing the majority. '"If Ibis blot be removed in the forthcoming elections then Canada will the mpre readily take up her share of the burdens of Empire and cooperate with the motherland in fighting a common enemy; NOTICE, THE KETTLE RIVER VALLEY RAILWAY CO. will apply to the Parliament of Canada at its next session for an Act authorizing the construction of an extension of its line from a point on its authorized railway near Coldwater River, by the most feasible route to the navigable waters of the Fraser River, in the Province of British Columbia, for an extension ot time for the commencement and completion of its railway line heretofore authorized by the Parliament of Canada, and for other purposes. • E. C. MYERS, Secretary, Kettle River Valley Railway Co., Dated at Toronto the 30th day of October, 1909. NOTES AND. COMMENTS. The question of a Canadian navy or contribution in cash toward building warships for the British navy will soon be decided by the Dominion .parliament. It is to be hoped that no time will be wasted in deciding what ought to be self evident to every loyal Canadian, viz: A Canadian fleet built, owned, manned and controlled by Canada. No cash contribution without representation in the British House of Commons. That money and those warships it would buildmight be used to our disadvantage if there were not the safeguard of parliamentary representation. Assessment Act, 1903.

The difference between a bore and a gossip is slight. Bores talk about themselves, what they have said or done, and gossips talk about others. The combination of bore, gossip and knocker in one person is about as disagreeable a makeup as can be found. The guilty person is the one who takes affront without a specific charge being made against them. Suspicious persons are sensitive of their own faults. Religion emphasizes the evils of sin ; culture emphasizes its grossness. Only cowards make insinuations; it* requires courage to speak boldly and truthfully at all times. No person can practice deception with- the tell-tale stain being observed in some form. Anybody can find fault, but it requires i ability to be a critic. • Goodness and goodiness are different. . It's the man who uses his head that) 'getsthere with both feet.' j A woman can always flatter a man by) asking his advice. 'Every man is the architect of his own 1 fortune' ; but so many of us draw bad plans. I It is good philosophy to be happy at I all times.
