Want Cars to Begin Shipping—Princeton Coal Equals Best. Superintendent Graham, of the V F M. Co., has recently visited some of the coal camps of B C. and Alberta and finds an enormous demand for domestic fuel in an ever increasing market. The prairie provinces, so rapidly filling with settlers, tax the coal output to the limit Should the winter be severe Mr. Graham predicts a coal famine, so great is the demand now. The V.F.M. Co. will be ready to ship coal as soon as cars are available. Princeton coal will stand competition with any'ttrat Mr. Graham saw in his travels and is superior to most of that supplied to Spokane. Mining operations are expected to begin shortly at the-North Fork coalmines. Manager Fraser recently arrived and a small working frrce will soon be employed in building a road and otherwise making ready for actual coal production and coking. Bonniver and Fearless have finished their contract of extending the tunnel 50 feet on the Columbia Copper Co's mine, Friday Creek. This property is being developed in anticipation of shipping facilities next year. v/PRINCETON STATISTICS.

A dog running along the street the other day caught a volume of expectoration jn his right eye from a chewer. At first the poor brute shook his head till his ears cracked like the flipper on a horses fidd- dle, then he yelped and just as the copperas got its work in he stood stiff for a second and then commenced turning a series of revolutions and corners the like of which was never witnessed before. Spitting is prohibited by law in certain places Star would make it an offence to squirt tobacco juice within seven miles of any living ereature. It is the copperas which affects the eyesight of chewers. Note how highly mineralized everything is in this country, even the trees are cop- perized. Capital ii required to develop our great mineral resources. Advt. WANTS POTATO MABKET. Editor Star—Sir : I do not know whether you have a board of trade in Princeton or not, ao I take the liberty of asking you to be kind enough to either let me know if there is such a body iii your town, or, if not, to diectmeto somebody who can answer the following questions : In the Similkameen Star of the 17th ult. I read: 'First ca-loail of potatoes was landed in Princeton last week.' Now, I should like to know : Who bought them? What are they worth? Where did they come from ? This will show if it is possible for us to ship potatoes to tne Similkameen. Thanking you in anticipation, lam yours truly, A. MULLER. Bridesville, Pec. 4, 1909. [There is a board of trade—see ad. in Star. We respectfully suggest correspondence with advertisers in this paper as to possibility of selling potatoes here. Perhaps some reader will furnish all the information required.—Ed.] \SEEXS WIDER FIELD. Dr.^Wp-Jllans was in town Sunday bidding gcfodbye prior to leaving Hedley for the coast. He was the first doctor to locate in Princeton and among the earliest in the rush of fortune hunters to these parts a decade ago. For several years he has been physician at the mines and mill of the Daly Reduction Co., now the Hedley Gold Mines Go., besides having a lucrative practice ill the town, to which he removed from ^Princeton some seven or eight years S$go. Dr. Whillans is an earnest and successful practitioner, enjoying the loyal confidence of a large clientele throughout the Similkameen and carries with him the sincere respect of the people generally and the best wishes of many staunch friends. His family will reside in Victoria this winter while he expects to make a trip to the Orient or the Antipodes, making Prince Rupert the ultimate objective point. Dr. McEwen takes over his practice pro tem. LOCAL AND GENERAL Festive Season now Draws on and Santa will have Joyous Time. Concert to Procure Organ for Public School—Holidays Bright with Hope. One week from next Saturday is dear old Christmas. Next Tuesday is the shortest day in the year. Divine service at 11 and 7*30, Sunday, An emergency meeting of Excelsior Lodge, L O.L., No. 2102, will be held in Oddfellows Hall, tonight at 8 sharp. C. L. Cummings, W.M. E. P. Galliac, of the United Empire, arrived from Spokane Sunday. Frank Bailey was in town last week from Nicola and went to Hedley. Charles Graham, superintendent of the V.F.M. Co's coal mine, arrived over the V.,V. & E. on Sunday, bringing his wife and three children from Nanaimo. Miss Evtrett, of the Tulameen hotel, was recently scalded severely by the bursting of a hot water bag placed near her for the relief of rheumatic pains. The bag had been filled too full of boiling water for expansion, causing it to burst. Many friends of the young lady wish her quick recovery. Canada's Revenue is heading for the hundred million mark this year. An Orange Lodge will be instituted in Hedley on the 20th inst. This is the season of the year when the knocker should lay down his little hammer and try and be happy. Never mind other people's affairs during Christmas- tide ; just try and be happy. John Ruskin said there was no room for a lie in this world. Yet truth has to struggle for a place; but surely it will prevail. Christmas, with its regular crop of festivities, is drawing near. The unity with which Princetonians and their country cousins usually observe Christmas and New Year merrymaking event speaks well for the equilibrium of socia! conditions. Indeed it could hardly be othe - wise in a community where everybody is obliged to work for a living and all are poor. Perley RuEsell was recently at Friday Creek and reports about three inches of snow there. He saw many deer tracks in that section. The weather was very mild. E. Waterman and P. Johnson are deer hunting on Kennedy mountain and are said to have good luck. There are a number of accounts due the Star for subscriptions, printing and adverthing, the aggregate amonnt of which would prevent the sheriff from paying an official visit to the 'devil,' if settled promptly. Accounts are mailed monthly, which is an intimation to pay. Star pays cash for its labor and material, and it is impossible for it to carry those who are long in arrearages. Please pay. The regular train service did not go into effect last Thursday as announced. No definite information is obtainable as to the time of regular operation. No station agent has arrived yet, although bills of lading received call for delivery of freight at Princeton. Not enough snow for good sleighing. Balmy weather and many colds. ORGAN FUND CONCERT. A concert in aid of an organ fund to be applied to the purchase of an instrument for the public school will be held in the Oddfellows' Hall, Christmas Eve, 24th inst., beginning at 8 o'clock sharp. Miss Carson, teacher, has in hand the inception and management of the concert, besides training children in their several parts of the entertainment. A varied program of some thirty numbers will be presented. Miss Carson is deserving of every encouragement in her generous efforts to promote musical culture in the school children After the concert dancing will be provided. Let there be a bumper house. Admission, adults, 50c; children, free. SANTA CLAUS HEARD FROM. A wireless metaphorical message has been received from Santa Claus headquarters away up at the. head of Granite Creek among the tall pines and the magnificent moss covered spruce. He says he has had a bad cold but expects to be in good shape for Christmas. He regrets that he has received no notice of the usual public Christmas tree for his beloved children. However, he will come on the swift winged Boreas with ten reindeer laden with good things for the children, which he will distribute at the homes of good boys and girls. Next year he may come in one of those things they call flying machine or 'aero.' Star advises him to stick to the reindeer and bells ; they are more poetic or romantic and less liable to headers. God bless old Santa and all his dear little children. OLD TIMER GRADUATES M.D. Dr. Geo. R. Philp, well known here as plain Mr. Philp, in the employ of the A. E. Howse Co., has recently graduated as M.D. from Toronto University. In renewing his subscription to the Star he notes with gratification the progress of Princeton recorded therein.

The coming year of 1910, now a couple of weeks distant, will mark the new era of progress made possible by the advent- of the railway. At present there are indications of coal and ore mining activity which will give employment to a large number of men and cause the disbursement of great sums of money for equipment and supplies. There are some mining deals of the first magnitude now being quietly carried into effect and others are in the primary stages of negotiation. Real estate is fairly active for this time of year and residential buildings are springing up on tbe back streets. The construction of the railway west of Princeton is an assured thing and means that this place will be the base of supplies and official headquarters. So that, the most. hardened pessimist must admit that the prospects are good and the progressive situation one of inviting excellence, rarely equalled The investor and homebuilder could scarcely have better opportunities than are now presented in Princeton. It is difficult to understand why an institution such as tbe board oi trade has not a larger membership. It is the only means of presenting the requirements of the district in systematic form and with the en- dorsation of a body composed of the best business talent and most progressive citizens in every town, city or district throughout the country has an important influence on the government or any company or corporation with which it may have to make representations in behalf of the general public. It is the one body in Princeton which.has accomplished things by resolution to the Dominion and Provincial governments. Yet, strange to say, it is knocked by those who have benefitted by its efforts toward the improvement of the town and the betterment of the whole district There are farmers and mining men who should be active members cf the board, protecting their own interests and influencing measures fcr the general good. places. All travellers have experienced that feeling of loneliness and gloom which spring from the unattractive conditions of a town. Sidewalks, water works ahd electric light are necessary for the convenience, comfort and health of the people. If these necessary and essential things for town life are lacking in Princeton the effect will be found in slow growth and a puny, struggling community. The most pressing need is for sidewalks on both sides of Bridge Street from bridge to bridge and the extension along Vermilion Av. to the railway station. Waterworks are promised in the spring. The appointment of J. A. Mac- donald, K.C., to the chief justiceship of the new court of appeal removes a pillar of the Liberal party to a mOre sereue sphere and one, no doubt, more congenial to his quiet temperament. His loss to the Liberal party will, be irreparable, for it was by his eminent respectability and clean life that he gave tone to the party and attracted to it men of like calibre. To know Chief Justice Macdonald is to know a gentleman of rare worth of character, whose presence is an inspiration and a blessing. The other members of the appellate court are W. A. Galliher, Vancouver, and Justices Martin and Irving transferred from the Supreme Court. To fill the vacancies on the Supreme Court bench Denis Mur*. hy, Ashcroft, and F. B. Gregory, Victoria/ have been appointed. All the new appointees were stalwarts in the Liberal ranks, the inference being that partizan politics are necessary as a stepping stone to the bench, a condition that ought not to be. NOTICE.

If a policy of drift with the tide is to gain a foothold in Princeton it will not be long until the town will put on that sleepy aspect which so paralyzes the strauger and drives him to other and more congenial So poor, disgruntled, discredited Bruce is tearing his own hair noW instead of Premier McBride's.
