Municipal Incorporation of Princeton is a Question which Demands Sane Consideration and should be decided upon during 1909—Now is the time to make preliminary arrangements for a large Coal and Ore Exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon Exposition in Seattle in 1909; Vol. ix. No. 48. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1908. $2 a Yearr in Advance _&■ .*'*;# to COPPER MARKET FIRM Stocks Depleted Cause Revival with 15-Cent Copper in Sight. Production Barely Keeps Pace with Demand—Princeton District will Produce. As was anticipated some time ago the metal market has revived lately. Extended purchases are, it is reported on good" authority, now being made by manufacturers, and they in turn are receiving orders in larger volume than at any earlier period of the year. • During the weeks preceding the Presidential election the East was fairly confident of the result, and since the return of Mr. Taft with such an immense majority confidence has been thoroughly stimulated, and this is having its direct influence in helping the metal trades. The position of copper,, intrinsically, has been ,go_od since early in the year, because the stocks accumulated during ■'/■'trie panic seem to have been fully absorbed and the large buying from Europe has shown that with the materially reduced production that conditions would soon improve. .. Copper stocks throughout America seem to have been fully consumed, and what is being produced is going into con-, .sumption as soon as it is in a marketable state. Abroad, the visible supply of the metal is not at all large, nor is it likely to have the least retarding influence in the increasing demand and price for the red metal. It looks now as though a stable 15-cent .market would soon be established, which will be a boon to all owners ol copper properties and producers, who have had ' a hard time to make ends meet during the past 18 months. Princeton, to perhaps a greater extent than any other community in the Northwest, will benefit by this advance in the price in copper, for, as is well known, the immediately surrounding district contains vast deposits of this metal, which now ranks first in importance in the manufacturing, building and trans- ■ portation business of the world. The early increase in price of the metal to fifteen cents and its maintenance at that figure, means a steady consumption in quantities that wflf afford an extended market to prompters, at a price that will yield'regular profits. The earlyigQinpletion of the railway to this point will undoubtedly;jenable the deposits joJ_popper Mountain, Kennedy Mountain'and Holmes Mountain to be worked at a. profit. The extensive ore body opened on the United Emoire Co's property on One-Mile Creek will also be turned to ready account upon the completion of the railway. That the copper ores of these different camps contain, in many cases, fairly high gold and silver values is a fact which has a direct and favorable bearing on the future of that portion of the Similkameen, of which Princeton is the chief commercial and mining centre THANKS THE ELECTORS. Marfia Burrell, H. P., Shares Glory of Magnificent Victory. Editor Star—Sir : Would you permit me through the columns of your paper to thank many friends throughout your district who gave me such a splendid support in the recent campaign. I realize that the questions of Japanese immigration and 'better terms' were responsible for the strong endorsation of the Conservative side, and I also realize that throughout the great fruit growing districts I leceived much assistance from those who considered that the horticultural interests of British Columbia had not had sufficient attention in the House of Commons. The task of defeating a government candidate in the face of persistent appeals to support those who had control ot the national purse strings was not easy. It is intensely gratifying, therefore, to find that the majority of the people expressed themselves so strongly for principle as against expediency. It has not been a personal victory, but I may be pardoned for thanking most deeply the many friends who worked so loyally and unselfishly for me during the campaign. To the work of the officers and members of the various Conservative associations throughout Yale-Cariboo the results of the 12th are chiefly due, but I also Recognize that in this election I owe not a little to those who, despite party ties, gave me their support. It is impossible for me to answer personally all those who have so kindly written their congratulations, and I trust they will be good enough to let me tell them in this way that I deeply value their good wishes, and to assure them that if I fail in the performance of my duty as their Member it will not be for the want of trying earnestly to do that duty both in the letter and spirit. I am, Sir, Yours very truly, Martin Burrem,. Grand Forks, B.C., Nov. 24, 1908. TBE UNITED EMPIRE Development Work Steadily Proceeds on this Promising Proposition. Copper-Oold and Coal are Constituent Minerals of this Mine—Need of Railway. Work on this Company's property i< being steadily prosecuted with a small force. The present operations eonsist of an extension of the Co's roads, enabling ready access to be had to the extensive lime deposit on the hill above the working tunnel, and also giving direct access to the various bodies of copper-gold ore, exposed by the development already completed at the property. Experiments conducted at the mine have resulted in the production ot a concentrate containing the gold, silver and copper contents of the ore in compact form, admitting of shipment at a figure that will net the Company a handsome profit. The extensive ore bodies at 'ihe property are particularly adapted for this method of concentration, while the Co's coal deposit, also opened up, will furnish any fuel requisite for the purpose, at minimnm cost. The fact that this Company owns and has developed within the limits of its own property, and in close contact with each other, extensive bodies of copper- gold ore aud coal is a fact that, while unique in itself, will permit of the production of a marketable concentrate from its ore at a price which wil lenable it to meet competition in any market in the world. The extended operations planned by this Company mean much to the people of Princeton, who cannot fail to benefit by the development in its near vicinity of such properties as that possessed by the United Empire Co. C.P.R. OFFICIALS HERE. A free masquerade ball is proposed to be given on New Year's eve by the married couples of Princeton. * All interested in it are invited to meet tonight in the consulting room at the Bank. Those who dfd not hear the lecture on "Citizenship" by Rev. Mr. Conn missed some interesting hints on incorporation It was replete with wholesome thought. Which will be First to Counect Coast with Similkameen and Kootenay ? Last Wednesda}- R. Marpole, executive assistant, H. J. Cambie, consulting engineer and H. E. Carry, C.E., all of the C P.R., were in town on a tour of inspection of the preliminary line run from Nicola to Penticton last summer by Mr. Carry. Mr. Marpole has some coal interests'here and-on the!North Fork of Granite Creek He may- have left the line of inspection to look out a possible route to tap these coal measures. The party spent some hours at Princeton interviewing prominent citizens and sizing up the railway situation that 'Uncle Jim' has created here. In departing the party took a nanitch along the V.,V. & E. as far as Allison, then strnck into the Five-Mile country which the C P.R. skirts northerly. Mr. Marpole expressed himself as highly pleased with the line, which is practically level, and with the evidences of tonnage all around. One could almost detect a look of chagrin on the executive's face when told that his great competitor would have rails in Princeton next spring. His company was a trifle tardy and so Jim Hill got the cream of the country and the benedictions of the people for building the V..V. & E. Will the C.P.R. tap Piinceton with a spur down One-Mile from the nearest point of contact, about ten miles distant? This question is frequently asked. Unless the Great Northern pnts on a great construction fore* the C.P.R. may yet be first to link the Kootenay with the coast. On the V.,V. & E. there is a gap of about no miles and 011 the C.P.R. a few miles more to construct but comparatively light work. Two to one on "Jim." OUR CANADIAN FLAG. Writer's Sarcasm Regarding Heraldic Symbols on Abused Flag. Editor Star—Pir : A lot of people who have nothing better to do are saying things about the Hon. Mr. Young, because he has ordered the Union Jack to be hoisted over the schools of British Columbia, instead of the thing called the Canadian flag. He is a jingo Imperialist, a suppressor of Canadian sentiment, and sundry kinds of a fool, according to his critics. It seems to me that Dr. Young's trouble is that like many other sensible people, he is ashamed of that museum of heraldic monstrosities which is added to the British 'red ensign' to make the Canadian flag. The Canadian flag is the worst in the world : it is everything that a flag should not be. 1 think everyone will agree with me that anything put on a flag should be easily distinguished when the flag is flying and should be not only recognized but almost reverenced by its people as the svtnbol of their patriotism. Can anyone sav that the Canadian coat- of-arms fulfils either of these requirements? When the flag is flying, the Canadian part of it is simply a particolored blur, looking more like a patch of rag-carpet than anything else. On close examination, this shield is found to represent, not Canada, but a lot of discordant provinces, only held together by the red field, which represents the British power. As or just what symbol represents which' province, I don't know, and I don't believe anyone else in Princeton knows. Ask any American schoolboy (Continued on 3rd page.) *»!

Hill is a name to reckon with, when a large commercial or transportation problem looms up on the horizon of time. He is also consulted by political potentates on labor and financial questions. And recently at Vancouver he ventured some valuable. suggestions to the Board of Trade on free trade between the United States and Canada. As a well informed gentleman, Mr. Hill must know that the liberals of Canada have always advocated tbe gradual removal of the tariff wall along the international, line. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has reiterated the statement he first made that the ultimate goal of his government., was free trade. He made every overture consistent with self-respect toward reciprocal free trade with tbe United States. But statesmen at Washington treated the proposition with scant courtesy.; And now Canada's premier states that he has exhausted every means in his power to secure free trade with our neighbors and that future negotiations must first emanate from them. Mr. Hill will pardon the Star for suggesting that he preach the gospel of free trade to the heathen of his own country rather than to the civilized converts of Canada. It rests with his country, being the fluences. Look at a map of the world. On the other hand a protective tariff narrows, stultifies and restricts, instead of encouraging trade- Protection is a relic of feudalism and the tribal system of government. With protection removed between Canada and the United States very much of the cause oi international friction would be dispelled and in its place would spring up greater friendship and increased trade. All true Liberals should work to secure free trade and hasten the day when expensive militarism and an army of customs officials shall be no more. Mr. Hill urges the removal of the duty on coal and points to Princeton as the nearest fuel supply for Spokane and other Washington places. It would be a great boon to consumer and producer ii the duty were abolished. Blacksmithing ^ta mmtt —Hotel— ■_,_,__; HUGH MAQUIRE I have recently leased the shop run b\ G\ Murdoch.

Canada is already ripe for reciprocal free trade with any nation desiring it and especially with those nations within the Empire. Britain's embargo on Cana dian cattle is probably all that hinders free and unrestricted trade with her. •Mr. Hill is a man of peace rather than war. He would mould every sword into plowshares. He is- aware, no doubt, that the. prophetic day when war shall be no more is a concomitant of universal free trade. Lasting peace rests upon free intercourse and it ought to be man's privilege to buy in the world's cheapest markets. When this liberty is denied he becomes the slave of a system.

Mf v~>u want to know what tbe Canadian flag means yon must go to some one versed in mediaeval heraldry, and it will take him half an hour to explain. One thing is certain, the flag does not stand for Canada as a whole, unless we accept the idea of the Anglo-Israelites, who hold that the Canadians are part of the Lost Ten Tribes, and that the coat- of-arms in the red field represents Joseph's 'coat of many colors dipped in blood. Stay—there is another explanation. Some say that tbe Canadian aims, being a. little of everything, represent the great Canadian dish—hash. Far be it from me to disparage hash'. I admire it, and I take it in large quantities whenever I get a chance. But I do not think I should care for a plate of hash containing lilies, thistles, maple and oak leaves, a buffalo and a whole menagerie of lions. No. Let the Chinese cook reverence his dragon, and the Siamese twin his white elephant—I think none the worse of them for it. But for myself, I decline to take off my hat to a plate of hash. The arms of British Columbia are the Union Jack and the sunset. Dr. Young supplies the Jack and Providence the suusets. What more can we wish ? Skiddoo.
