Government will Erect Large Building in which to Show Exhibits of Canada. The government of Canada will construct a "bni'rding at the Alaska-Yukon- . Pacific exposition, to be held in Seattle, June 1 to October ]6, 1909, inclusive, covering a ground space of 300 by 150 feet. Win. Hutchinson, Canadian exhibition commissioner, who is now in London, has been notified by the Dominion government to leave for Seattle as soon as .possible to select the site and make arrangements for the construction of the building. It has been definitely known for some time that the government cf Canada would participate in the big fair, but this is the first official information regarding the scope of the plans. In a letter to President J. E. Chilberg, Commissioner Hutchinson states that it will not be possible for him to leave London before January I, aud requests the exposition management to select a site that would be best available for Canada. He also requests ground plans of the exposition in order that the outline of the building may be worked out before his arrival in Seattle. The announcement that the goven - ment of Canada will be represented on such a large scale as the size of the site desired indicates, has aroused general in terest throughout the stale of Washing ton, It is apparently the intention to make a complete exhibit of all the varied lesources of Canada, and the building will also house the display from the Yukon territory. The space which it is proposed to cover will be the largest occupied by any one building on the grounds. The mild climatic conditions of the Puget Souiid country—Seattle never suffers from extremes in heat or cold— makes it possible to construct buildings in.the winter without any great difficulties, and the Canadian government will have no trouble in completing its exhibit palace two months in advance of the opening of the fair if the work is started in January. There are three available sites that may be used for the Canadian building. One is located adjoining machinery hall on one side and the forestry building on the other, and overlooking Lake Washington. Another is a large tract next to the California state building, and also overlooking Lake. Washington ; the third is below the geyser basin and at the lower end of the string of main exhibit! palaces, overlooking both Lake Washington and Lake Union. The choice of one of these' three locations will be offered to Canada through Commissioner Hutchinson Ground plans and all the necessary data have been prepared and forwarded to him in London-, and it is expected the commissioner will be in shape to call for bids for the construction of the building within a short time after his arrival in Seattle. ^Sr^f The Canadian exhibit will include a display of our agriculture aud horticulture. Our mining resources will be shown and special attention will be given to dairying, and some of the finest stock in tbe world will be shown in this display. In his letter Commissioner Hutchinson states that the work of collecting the various exhibits has been under way for several months,' a_d the entire display will be assembled three months in advance of the opening of the exposition. THE BOABD OF TBADE. Annual Meeting and Election of Officers for Ensuing Year. The regular annual meeting; of the Board of Trade was held last Monday, at which the following members weie present : Messrs. Marlow, Ross, Conn, Avery, Bell, Cochrane, Charlton, McDougall and Wright. Officer's elected ■ for ensuing year are : President, W. C. McDbugall ; Vice- President, J. M. Wright ; Secretary and Treasurer, A. J. Marlow ; the Executive Committee was appointed by the President, as follows: Messrs. Hall, Waterman, Cochrane, Charlton and Wright. Communications from the Provincial Secretary, Victoria, advising retention of a lawyer for incorporating purposes and enclosing statute bearing on municipal incorporation ; from L. W. Shatford, M. P.P., re road to cemetery, and many letters to secretary from inquirers all over the continent and asking for copies of Board of Trade booklet. The remaining copies of the descriptive booklets of Princeton and district were ordered by the Board to be distributed throughout America and Great Britain. Discussion of a proposed exhibit of ore at the Alaska-Yukon Exposition in Seattle next year elicited a generally expressed sentiment favorable to the proposition. It is the wish of the Board to cooperate with the public in making a good ore exhibit at Seattle. President McDougall offered some very good suggestions as to the work and scope of the Board and expressed bis- thanks for the honor conferred upon him as their new president. He urged compensatory action by the Board for free (Continued on 3rd page.) SEED FOR FARMERS Dominion Government Distributes Free Seed of the Best Varieties. Inducement to Farmers to Improve Quality of Grain, Potatoes and Ensilage Corn. By instruction of the Hon. Minister of Agriculture a distribution is being made this season of samples of superior sorts of grain and potatoes to Canadian farmers for the improvement of seed. The stoc k for distribution has been secured mainly from the Experimental Farms at Indian' Head, Task., and Brandon, Man. The samples consist of oats, spring wheat,1 barley, peas, Indian corn (for ensilage only) and potatoes. The quantity of oats sent is 4 lbs., and of wheat or barley 5 lbs., sufficient in each case to sow one- twentieth of an acre. The samples of Indian corn, peas and potatoes weigh 3 lbs. each. A quantity of each of the fol lowing varieties has been seenred for this distribution :— Oats —Banner, Danish Island, Wide- Awake, White Giant, Thousand Dollar, Improved L'igowo, all white varieties. Wheat.—Red varieties, Red Fife (Beardless), Chelsea, Marquis, Stanley and Percy (early beardless), Preston, Huron and Pringle's Champlain (early bearded). White varieties. White Fife (beardless), Bobs (early beardless). • BARI.EY-—Six-rowed.—Mensury, Odessa, and Mansfield. Two rowed.—Invincible and Canadian Thorpe. Fiei<d Peas.—Arthur and Golden Vine. Indian Corn (for ensilage).—Early sorts, Angel of Midnight, Compton's Early and Longfellow; later varieties, Selected- Learning, Early Mastodon and White Cap Yellow Dent. j Potatoes.—Early varieties, Rochester Rose and Irish Cobbler. Medium to late varieties, Carman No. 1, Money Maker, Gold Coin and Dooley. The later varieties are, as a rule, more productive than the earlier kinds. Only one sample can be sent to each applicant, hence if an individual receives a sample of oats he cannot also receive one of wheat, barley, peas, Indian corn or potatoes. Lists of names from one individual, or applications for more than one sample for one household, cannot be entertained. The samples will be sent free of charge through the mail. Applications should be addressed to the Director of Experimental Farms, Ottawa, and may be sent in any time from the ist of December to the 15th of Februaiy, a'ter which the lists will be closed, so that the samples asked for may be sent out in good time for sowing. Applicants should mention the variety they prefer, with a second sort as an alternative. Applications will be filled in the order in which they are received so long as the supply of seed lasts. Farmers are advised to apply early to avoid possible disappointment. Those applying for Indian corn or potatoes should bear in mind that the corn is not usually distributed until April, and that potatoes cannot be mailed until danger from frost in transit is over. No postage is required on mail matter addressed to the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Wm. Saunders, . Director of Experimental Farms. MINERAL EXHIBITS. R. W. Brock, Deputy Minister' of Mines at Ottawa, writes as follows to the President of the Nelson Board of Trade regarding the ore exhibit at the Alaska- Yukon Exposition at Seattle in 1909 :— Dear Sir—I am sufficiently advanced with the arrangements with the agricultural depsrtment regarding the mineral exhibit at Seattle for' the work to begin. Not a great deal of time remains so that no delays must occur. The boards of trade may make arrangements for the collection. The exhibit at the close of the Seattle exhibition will be brought to Ottawa for permanent exhibition in the splendid new national museum. Of course, we want, fhe agricultuial department wants and you in British Columbia want the best possible exhibit. The specimens should be one cubic foot in size. A few very large specimens of good quality would be first-class things to have, one for instance of silver-lead ore, one of copper-gold ore, etc. There should also be specimens illustrating the [Continued on 3rd page.] THE FLAG QUESTION. Editor Star—Sir: Any one who tries to get a new idea into people's heads is sure to get into trouble. Most people hate the trouble of thinking as much as thev hate a cold bath, and the less they know about a subject the more they despise any new ideas about it. For instance : From Galileo, who narrowly escaped being burned for saying that the earth was round, to Darwin, every advance in science has been fought by the church, which has nothing at all to do with science. On the other hand, every advance in theology finds its most imolac- able enemies not in the pulpit, but in the pew. Even so, various people, including some who do not know which side up a flag should be flown, have objected to my remarks on the so called Canadian flag (which is not the flag of Canada at all, but only an ensign that our trading ships carry) as being disloyal to Canada. If they would take the trouble to think, (Continued on 5th page.) ■t I.IIIH Jljllf THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR December 9, 1908 JTJH[E_STAJR_ SUBSCRIPTION RATE: One Year, - '- ... $2.00 Payable in Advance.

OUE VABIED RESOURCES— The great diversity of resources with which Princeton district is blessed may occasionally prove to be a stumbling block to some intending investor abroad, who has not made a personal investigation of this country. Mining and agriculture seem to him utterly incongruous in one district. He thinks that a mining section is incapable of sustaining two or more resources and without further investigation or inquiry he loses interest and, perhaps, the best opportunity of his life for money-making. Reference in detail has been made heretofore in the Star to our varied resources. It is a theme, however, by no means exhausted. For new^ Tig-it" is continually being thrown upon these resources by experience gained'in other places aud expen- ^meritafibn at home. A few years ago it' was a common belief that fruit generally could not be produced here owing to climatic conditions due to altitude. The hollow-' ness of that belief has been thoroughly exposed. No one doubts now .that apples can be grown to •perfection in Princeton district. Peaches, pears and other less hardy fruits have not been subject to vixperimental cultivation, as with apples, nevertheless, it is the opinion of many persons acquainted with fruit growing that most of the semi tropical fruits can be grown here upon ground judiciously selected. Wild,, and small garden fruits grow with unusual profusion and offer a field in themselves for the establishment of the canning, packing- and drying industries. There is scarcely any limit, to the fruit industry here when once all doubt is dispelled as to growth and production. , While this country is essentially mineral aud must depend on it as the source of its wealth, there are those other natural resources which must not be underestimated. A country's wealth is measured by its resources. Agriculture, fruit production, cattle raising and the manufacture of lumber are all secondary in consideration of our vast mineral resources but all combined make a total of natural wealth that •cannot be surpassed anywhere on this continent. It is with pleasure, therefore, that the Star receives information that a scheme is being evolved to produce fruit on.a large-scale in this vicinity. When the plans are perfected due publicity will be given to the undertaking as well as every encouragement extended toward its success. To have hundreds of acres of wild land turned into productive fruit acreage within a few miles of Princeton is an enterprise of unusual concern to citizens and consumers generally. The reasonably anticipated expansion of our mining population resultant from tbe production of coal as soon as transportation 'is given and the devel-i opment of the ore deposits to bef found ever}'where, will create a| good and steady home market.

The question " Why do not men, women and young persons attend public worship in larger numbers?" is being asked in religious circles the world over. Scarcely a well filled place of worship anywhere. Is it the fault of so-called christians not living as they profess, bringing ridicule'upon their church and religion by slander-mongering and selfishness ? Is some olcigy, osophy or ism preached instead of the old, soul-stirring, converting,, reforming and magnetic gospel ? Are church members and all who*call themselves christians..exhibiting by their daily life and conversation the faith and hope they profess to have? Is not the scoffer a by-product of the self-righteous person ? The Great Exemplar . and Teacher told the people to lift Him up and He would draw all men unto Him. There is the remedy for empty churches. If there were lifting instead of pulling and hauling and sneering among professing christians there would be no lack of attendance.

I believe that Canada has a future second to none, and that whether in industry, commerce or war, Canadians have no cause to be ashamed of themselves or their country. It is; exactly for this reason that I do not want to see my country represented by a flag that would be a disgrace to the negro republic of San Domingo. The Star wants to know if I can propose a better flag, to which I would like to reoly that no one could propose a worse one. What is the emblem of Canada ? Everybody knows, from the school child*- ren who sing " The Maple Leaf Forever," to the Boers, who learned to have a deep respect for any soldier who wore a maple -leaf on his helmet. The maple grows in every province of Canada, and is looked on ever> where as the Canadian tree : why not put it on the flag? A laage maple leaf, replacing the present dime museum on the fly of the flag, would give us an ensign at once simple, beautiful, easily recognized, completely understood and universally respected. The Laurier Government claim to have made Canada a nation. Why then dc they not «ive us a flag that a great nation need not be ashamed of? Is it because they are too busy spending the peopled money ?
