TO BUILD NOW-CEMEBT WORKS-BRIGHT OUTLOOK E RAILWAY MEN ON JOB Contractors Look Over Line and will Tender for its Construction. Y.V. & E. Must be Finished in Year— Tulameen Headquarters and Snpply Base. Rumors and reports have been flying around, contradictory and otherwise, regarding the construction of the V. V. & £. At this moment nothing definite nor authoritative can be learned beyond the cold fact that constructeon will begin. As a p inter and preliminary to actual operations tbe engineer in charge of construction, J. H. Kennedy, and. a party of contractors have made personal inspection of tbe line from the present end of track to mile 45 of new work: at the summit in Coquihalla Pass. Following are the names of the contractors going over the line last Wednesday: R. B Porter, Spdkand; C. W. Wen erhoff, Minneapolis; M*. Woldson, Spok and; G. A. Carlson, Spokane; W. L. Dean Mi.soula; I, H. Ellison, Minneapolis; A. W. Sagel, Spokane ; J Twohy, Portland; A. McDougall, of Guthrie & Co., St Paul; — Lafolliet, of Sims & Shield, St Panl; and J. Kellett, of Stewart & Welch, Vancouver. The first grading and track to be immediately done will be about three miles to Tulameen, which will be the base, The Coquihalla section will be built and owned conjointly by the C.P.R. and Gt, Northern, and it is reported that the time limit for the V.,V. & E. is one year in which to complete. C. W. Buck and his party of Kettle Val ve> surveyors are camped at China creek in thi- suburbs of town, The locat- e I line as near Peterson's ranch, which, fi r the present will not be continued un til certain preliminary lines aie run. No clue to the permanent location of the line through Princeton is known MINES AND MINING. Platinum Experts Representing Capital will Purchase Placers. Low wateT in all "the rivers and creeks helps the placer min^jg this season. C; F. Law, with New York capitalists, is visiting the Granite creek and Tulameen placers. Swede placer miners on Granite creek have been taking good values in coarse gold, three and four dollar nuggets be ing quite plentiful, and a fine platinum nugget also recovered. Frank Bailey, M E. returned last Monday from a. trip up Granite creek and Tulameen river where he was engaged showing placers to J. E. Colby, of the firm of Baker & Co , platinum dealers, New York, and A. B. Coussmaker, representing the largest platinum dealers in the world, Johntson, Matthy & Co , of Hatton Gardens, London, Eng. Both gentlemen are experts in the employ of their respective firms visiting various parts of the world in search of the ever precious platinum. The alluvial de- posits-of the Tulameen district contain gold and platiuum and are the most ex ' tensive iu America. With the object of obtaining cantrol by purchase of these deposits the gentlemen named have been surveying and estimating the extent and probable value of the bars and benches known to be platinum bearing. Should a deal be consummated with the various owners of gold-platinum leases and mi.ieis' claims a large hydraulic and dredging industry will be established and the recovery of these precious metals will be proceeded with on a large scale. Mr. Bailey was partly instrumental in inducing ihese representatives of capital to visit Princeton district and Tulameen. Wm Britton is driving a tunnel on the Britton mineral claims in gold-platinum ore, upper Tulameen. Robert Keffer of the B. C. Copper Co j Gr.enwood, was in town Friday on his way to Tnlani.en and Bear creek where he will examine mineral properties. He _R_TlS?__*attending college at Pullmau, Wa h. taking a mining course, thus following in the footsteps of bis father, who is consulting engineer and mining expert for the B. C Copper Co. Mr. Keffer, jr., among other accompiisbments, wields a facile pen, at one time being editor of the Anaconda news. It was according to the eternal fitness of things, therefore, and an act 01 fraternal courtesy that he shonld call on the 'mineral', editor, of Star and briefly occupy the old familiar editorial chair while discoursing on problems and probabilities of past, present and future. We wish him a great care, r in this great country. Percy G. Wright has been gazetted secretary to the board of miners exam iners of Princeton. Fred Keffer, manager of the B. C,. smelter and mining engineer, went to Voigt camp last Friday, CEMENT TOWN GOES East Princeton Busy and Bright with Prospects Due to Big Platit. Produce Cement by New Year and Quality will be of Best Made in World. The spur to the B. C. Portland Cement Co's works was finished yesterday and East Princeton is now on the highwav to progress and development after a long and serions delay. It took the railway commission to settle the technical question causing the delay and secretary C R Briggs, no doubt feels easier now that the cement company -can complete the plant without further hindrance. Superintendent Osborne is quite confident that the making of cement will be in full blast by the first of the year 1913. Allowing about 90 days for the cement to cure or ripen it would appear that an abundant supply will be ready to market with the begining of next years' building season. The raw materials for making the ce ment are prononnced first quality after careful and many analyses. The demand for it is expected to tax the full capacity of the plant from the first as the cement will be of the highest grade and owing to the remarkable proximity of coal, cheap fuel, all the raw constituents of cement, this product will be in position to challenge competition. Under the new and hopeful conditions East Princeton must attract population and immediately respond to the impulse of glowing prospects. The town will be a large contributor to the revenues' of the government and to the general wealth of the province. Its promotes are en titled to a gf odly share of the prosperity couspicuous in all progressive towns. PRINCETON DISTRICT BAND.

Homer McLean and Bert Russell, well known as McLean & Russell, the hustling real estate dealers, took a nanitch up the river tbe other and got the surprise of their life. Thev were in a jungle spying out the land when the faithful dog with them gave a sniff and' a fearful howl evidently scenting a bear. All they had with them was a George, Washington bat- c let with which they wished to make a quadrilateral post. Both the young men said they were not afraid, but this as sertion'proved premaluije for a great big black bear came ambling toward them so boldly that they took the nearest tree, climbing to a friendly j limb. Homer hanging to it, not unlike the object lesson of a southern lynching party, but with a mighty muscular effort he got astride just in time to see bruin disappear over the hill with tbe dog naggling his heels. Ne,xt time McLean & Russell will take something more formidable than a hatchet with them. LABOR DAY. The observance of Labor Day is a fixed annual event that enables the uncrowned kings of labor to take a dav 'off'and join in the sports and festivities usual for the occasion. Tulameen and Hedley will both celebrate, the posters announcing varied programs with certain features pecu lar to each. At Tulameen aquatic sports on beautiful Otter lake will be a strong drawing card along with other attractions while Hedlev will offer enticing prizes aud probably pull off some big record breaking events. SUPERIOR SCHOOL. The superior school in Hedley having received sanction of the department of education at ViofSfta will open on the' 4th of September with the required quorum of scholars. A superiotschool is merely introductory to a high school requiring half the number of scholars to begin with. * The location of a high school isdetermin- ed by the number of scholars offering from, a given section, population and importance of the proposed locality. The ad - vantages of a high school in a town are too obvions to require mention. THE WIDE WORLD Wonder of wonders! Scientific men say they can produce life. Impossible !'

Nature has endowed Princeton and district wittv a wealth of water power and an abundance of fuel, coal and wood, which should be of strong inducement, to manufacturing industries. The distribution of cheap hydro-electric power over the district for the opention of mines, smelters and other industries is a chief factor in the successful production of our raw resources and the making of them into articles of commerce.^The rivers and creeks are charged with millions of horse rower waiting to be harnessed by .-one man.or company for the purposes indicated. Who will be first 10 take advantage of this gilt edge investment ? connection with their own city and lacking the capital lying idle in their tanks to build up industries. The 25th annual report of the Vancouver board of trade is not such an illuninating production as one might expect from so large and somewhat influential body: It barely makes reference to the Similkameen and its vast resources in coal, coke, copper, iron, gold and platinum, fruit and argiculture. The city of Vancouver is only 150 miles from the Similkameen yet its board ol trade and its newspapers scercely mention the great tributary resource, lying dormant here and all because of their dull apathy in urging on the completion of the railways and giving publicity to this field for investment and exploration. Vancouverites will yet regret their cold blooded indiflerence toward, and neglect of, a district that offers more to them in investment and contributory commerce than any other district in the province. The editorials of the big coast dailies could be made very interesting and beneficial to all if occasional reference were made to the Similkameen and other interior districts, giving publicity and information that would attract capital. But the newspaper editors rather deal with some non-committal, non- controversial, nonsensical subject than bestir their brainfagged bumps in promoting the interests of struggling contiguous, districts. Selfish and narrow minded inslitutious and newspapers are worse than useless when they cease to urge improvement and progress and legitimately boost the development and resources of districts lacking direct railway Hell is commanding considerable attention just now. Two kinds of theory or speculation regarding it championed by the literalist, or fire and brimstone adherent on the one side, and the anti-eternal boil ing lakeof-fire on tne other. Unfortunately there is much levity in discussing so serious a subject and that detracts from the purpose of many who take no stock in the religious aspect of the question but who are concerned chiefly in hell's location and the geologic conditions which surround and make up the supposed eternal home of the damned. The center of the earth is said to be a great molten mass and some preachers and laymen are strongly of opinion that this is thel future abode of the wicked. Thej believers in a material hell seem tol be in a minority according to some! authorities. Canon Henson ol j Westminster Abbey repudiates the eternal torment doctrine of the 'dark ages' and the famous Rev. R. J. Campbell of London,Eng..representing the nonconformist view says that he does not know any educated clergyman there who believes in eternal punishment. Rev. A. L. Odell, a St. Louis pastor says he does not know of any Presbyterian minister who believes or preaches this literal hell aud Rabbi Rosen- treter, Jew, the Methodist Episcopal church aud the _.. C. clergy are generally opposed to it. B. C. Portland Cement Co. East Princeton, B. C. In Prance agitation is made to abolish advertising with posters and signs which deface the streets and roads of the country and mar the landscape views. In America .he senseiess notion of plastering the whole country with big bills and paint is now looked upon as the least effective form of advertising and many of the largest publicity agencies are now patronizing the newspapers to an extent never known before. By experts and advertising firms it is known that a passing glance at posters on a lence, bill board, or building neither impresses the passers by nor fixes the attention of busy people. In the house or office the newspaper is always ready for reference and the advertisement therein can always be consulted ana discussed. The conclusion, therefore, is that newspapers offer the best form of advertising to be obtained, and as they do a lot of publicity work gratis it is only natural they should be well patronized. Advertise in the newspapers ! Tbe formation of a Dominion Board of Health, asforeshadowe4, will be an excellent thing if it enforces cleanliness.

Crusades of cleanliness have, according to statistics, stayed epidemics of smallpox, typhoid and white plague, killed the 'crobe that spreads disease all around and produces better specimens of of humanity, Cleanliness is not only next to godliness it is godliness if practised in word and deed. Disease is sin rampanj^jjflftjjng,^. The German war scare is largely mythical.

An attempt to traverse Canada from Halifax to Vancouver is to he made this fall by Herbert Gilley, of New Westminister, who is making this trip in the in terest of tne Canadian Highway Associa tion, flying the pennant of that organisation on his Canadian- built machine It is Mr. Gilley's intention to make Halifax his starting point, although he is a resident of the Pacific Coast No man.'perhaps, is better acquainted with the roads in the different parts cf Canada than Mr. Gilley, for in addition to the many years spent in lumbering enterprises in British Columbia he has a wide knowleage of road conditujnsjn the Hasten. Provinces, where he spent the i.est part of his life. He believes that the most difficult trip for an automobil. in all British Columbia is over the Hope mountains, a journey which has never been attempted. A road is being buill over this section at the present time, and j it is possible that a temporary way maj , be made for an automobile, but it is a fore I gone conclusion that by the time an) I machine has travelled over the Hopt I mountains it will be fit only for the sera] ) heap or for exhibition purposes.

That the size of all United States currency and national bank notes will be reduced by one third and their designs revolutionized, for the sake of economy to the government, convenience to the public, and safety against counterfeiting, has been practically decided by Secretary of the Traesury MacVeagh. It is proposed to make the dimensions 6 by 2% inches. The paper money now in circulation measures 7.28 and 3 04 inches. This move is expected to save the government about nine hundred thousand dol- -ars annually, and the national banks, which pay; for the plates for their notes and part of the cost of redemption, about two hundred thousand dollars. The economies would be effected in steel for the plates, in paper, and in labor.
