Knowing the character, habits and per sonal idiosyncrasies of John Houston, who recently died on his way out from Fort George to obtain medical attention. Star desires to add its tribute ot respect to one who has made considerable history in this province and the neighboring republic. He was a tmau of strong convictions, dogged, energetic, a true friend and bitter enemy, generous to a fault. He always called a spade a spade in writing or in speech, and this frequently provoked war. But there was an Irish strain in him and a row in no way dis- c~>uraged or depressed him. As mayor of Nelson and in the provincial legislature as representative he was always in his usual element, "hot water.' But he was honest, truthful and conscientious and these qualities with his ability and supreme iearlessness won him many admirers and staunch friends. Faults he had, and many, but he was honest enough to confess them—his worst was always visible. As a fellojyvvorkman Star has only kind reco]!ections^5F~Trfmari<I extends to his widow and relatives sincere sympathy. John Houston was bocn near Toronto 6i y4ais_ago.

An alarm of fire was turned in Monday from the Bohemian Lodge, Vermilion Av , occupied by R. Soutter, which luckily was discovered intltBe to prevent any extensive damage. The fire originated from the stovepipe leading through the roof. The fire brigade and many others responded to the call of the bell the incipient flames being quickly subdued. Fire Chief Campbell and Bert Irwin did excellent service and all who rendered any assistance are gratefully remembered by Mr. Soutter, who has a large collection of useful and ornamental house belongings which he would be very loth to have destroyed by fire.

All the constituent parts of a good cement are to be found here. Within thirty days an important mining deal, including a smelter, is expected to be put through. The deal will rank closely to that of the Nickel Plate in point of importance and will be of great benefit to Princeton district. TWO BANKS IN PRINCETON. The large safe for the Eastern Townships Bank, not being yet in position, the doors of the building are not yet open to the public. As honey attracts bees so 'beesness' attracts banks. Two banks in Princeton looks as though money was abont to 'loosen up,' but the rumor of a third bank is more than,the most optimistic could hope for. Of. course there is no law to prevent banks starting here. It is a free country. And there is gold and silver here, two very needful articles in the running.of a bank. Banks are not like newspapers. Money is their life, whereas the paper lives on the critic's cold crumbs, standoffs, uupaid subscriptions and bills, and free announcements, puffs, &c„ &c. Welcome, banks. ^O-tp-T-W^TO^-t-A^^ r THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR March 16, 1910. The Similkameen Star. J. M. Wright, SUBSCRIPTION RATE: One Year, $2.00 Payable in Advance.

News that another railway line will tap Princeton is good news and will be received with genuine satisfaction, by all citizens. In the discussion on the Kettle River Valley bill introduced in the provincial house during the session just closed, Premier McBride explained that an arrangement had been reached with the railway company to the effect that a branch line would be built into Princeton. During the campaign last fall there were aspersions cast upon the announcement made then in speeches by the Premier and Mr. Shatford regarding the branch to Princeton and malicious enemies said that it was only a 'vote catching dodge.' They also said that the K.V. railway would not be built and that the whole thing was 'put up' for poHtical purposes. Well, there are always those ready to besmirch the characters of their superiors and attribute foul motives for honest effort—both the Premier and Mr. Shatford ran the gamut of these mud throwers and today tbey stand out boldly in the light of time as having lived up to their promises. Twenty-five miles of the Kettle Valley will be built in a year as the result of the Premier taking care of the interests of the people and Mr. Shatford has been no less alert in behalf of his constituents and will, no doubt, see that the branch to Princeton is ready to operate upon the completion of the main line between Nicola and Pen- ticton. STOP THE EVIL. There are good grounds for the action of the Board of Trade in endorsing the resolution of the Crat- brook Board suggesting to the Attorney-General an amendment to the Municipal Clauses Act wherein a license fee of $100 shall be charged itinerant real estate agents. It is an evil of which the public are generally unaware that the life blood of small towns is being sapped by these omnivorous pests who swoop down upon unsuspecting persons in the country. The ever ready map and glib tongue are not too scrupulous in describing the land or the lot to be sold. In many cases sheer misrepresentation and distortion of facts are used to lure on the investor. Glowing accounts of fortunes made are rehearsed and the final consent of the poor investor is obtained under pressure of words. If the Attorney-General will remedy this he, will relieve the country of a nuisance and save many a poor person the.fruits of wildcat speculation. Another aspect of the question is the loyalty which is due from every citizen to his or her own town or district. While there is good and safe in vestment at or near home there is no reason for going outside, especially when the property cannot be examined at once and the element of chance is beyond reasonable speculation. Many thousands of dollars are being tied up in coast city property which ought to be invested in Princeton and other interior towns. A USEFUL SESSION. The first session of the present provincial legislature ended last Thursday. It was probably the most unique assemblage of legislators ever seen in any man's country. An Opposition of four in a house of forty-two and those four subdivided into groups of two each. The Opposition, so called, in this case is a mere formality, a mere accident, for, if they had not been elected the legislative proceedings would have resulted just the same. Premier McBride is the first to demonstrate the possibility of governing well without an Opposition and this leads up to the suggestion that it is possible to govern righteously without a second political party. If the Premier can prove in the next three sessions that it is possible to govern this province without asecond party and thus demonstrate the superfluity of an Opposition he will have erected a monument to his memory that will outlast the ages. There is a large element of the serio-comic in the powerless Opposition holding down seats at Victoria. A lot of useful legislation has been made law this session. Premier McBride is on the highway to fame if not to fortune: EXTENSION OE TIME. The extension of time recently granted to the V^. & E. railway by the Hous//»t Commons is in line with^pu'rj'ent thought and approval. Mr: Burrell, M. P., thoroughly and truthfully represented his constituents when he stated that he did not wish to interrupt construction to the coast by offering any opposition to the extension of the charter limits. He said that he was anxious to see the road completed as soon as possible from Princeton westward as it was of great importance to southern B.C. More than $14,000,000 have now been spent in construction and he understood it was the intention of the contractors to push the work. Mr. Lennox, M. P., said that the company had evidently shown good faith and that was the chief r-oirt to be considered. Drink and Enjoy ping George IV. upcur scotch I None Better R. P. Rithet & Go.

Lessening the Burdens of the Taxpayer Makes Good Beading. The people of the Similkameen will have much less to pay in taxes this year than formerly owing to the legislation enacted during the session brought to a close last Thursday, loth inst Until June 30 of this year a discount of 25 per cent, will be given on all taxes paid, in distinction to a 10 per cent discount last year. Any person having paid their taxes prior to the enactment of the change will be refunded the difference in discount. On personal property the tax rate has been reduced from 3-5 to 1-2 per cent. • and as assessment notices for the year's taxes have all been issued and the taxes are due, it is impossible to have the new rate come into effect until the assessment is made this year, hence, the 25 per cent, discount is made to adjust the difference.
