No. 32. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, J908. $2 a Year, in Advance THE BOARD OF TRADE Condemns Criminal Neglect of Princeton by Someone Re Telephone. Publicity Committee Appointed to Edit and Print Polder Soon as Possible. At the regular meeting of the Board of Trade Monday night there was a good attendance and important matters dealt with. A long communication from C. S. Stevens, Superintendent of the Dominion telephone line,~expressihg regret for the absence of a public phone in Princeton and disclaiming responsibility therefor. He Stated he had documentary evidence to prove where the blame rested, Mr. Stevens urged the establishment of a telephone exchange in Princeton, and said he wag{<jSgillipg\. to help bring about any immediate solution of the present diffichliy. He further stated that it the Board would recommend a man to D. Ross, M.P*, he (Stevens)had no doubt that an agent would, be appointed and the officc'-'reopened. He thought the appointment.jjif.a. good agent would be the means of increasing the revenue of the office. A long discussion ensffea in which the opinion was freely expressed that Princeton is prejudicially treated by some person havjng .influence or authority in the telephone management. The damage done to the town and the serious inconvenience to business was emphasized the tone of all the speeches being resent, ful and condemnatory of the unfair treat? ment handed out to this community in the matter of telephone accommodation. * Mr. Waterman pointed out that the Vermilion Fork's Co. had, by the'erection of a private telephone line connecting the mine, office, ,&c., laid the foundation for a local exchange which the company, no doubt, would extend when the field was afforded. A motion recommending H. H. Avery, jr., to D Ross, M.P., for the position of telephone agent was unanimously endorsed. Mr. Lumsden asked that line connection be given as formerly to the Howse Co., and that the Board include this in the motion of recommendation— agreed to. He stated that through personal pique and spite telephone communication had been withdrawn from the company. The question o' a folder for advertising all the resources of Princeton district was heartily concurred in by all'the members. A general committee," to be subdivided, was formed for the purpose of outlining the work and allotting the sub-committees their subjects, which will treat of .placer, ore and coal mining, agriculture, horticulture, grazing, water power, smelter possibilities, fire and builders' brick, cement, natural paint, luniber and timber, hunting, fishing, shooting, trapping, scenery, historical sketch, railways, roads, people, commercial institutions, religion, social condi- (Continue<},on_3r^l,page.) FRUIT TREES LOADED. Climate and Soil Give- Evidence of Their Productiveness. . Hugh Hunter's garden and orchard are well worth a special trip to his country seat to have an adequate conception of the possibilities of frr^it.raising and vegetable growing. Tomatoes and cucumbers, raspberries and currants, early and late apples, these, and many other kinds were growing** 1" perfection. Some of the apple trees were so heavily laden that some qfjthj&jgongegted Simbs had to be relieved of their superabundant burden. If there should be any doubting Thomas or hesitating Hezekiah regarding the growth of the tender sorts of vegetables and the perfection of apples it is only necessary to see Mr. Hunter's place from the main trunk road .and which has been so imperfectly and brieflv described. There are other gardens and orchards in jKisjKectkJn Which . would equally well repay the visit of all interested in the fruit and vegetable ''industry. Well situated lands in .this district have been demonstrated to contain fruit growing pro. perties and the requisite climatic environment^ fos successful fruit and vegetable production.- ¥ CRAPING Will BEGIN Camp Construction Now on Program Breaks the Cruel Suspense. Princeton the Present Goal and Ter- . minus of Construction Work , on Railroad. GOLDHUNTEB, ON GRANITE. Charles Lambert and wife were in'to'wn last Wednesday from Granite Creek. He is busy with bis big placer mining proposition at the North ■• Fork and now that the water, is low and • lowering no time will be lost' i'n'digging'for that ever seductive' metal: Gold. Six hundred feet of the creek will be flumed at first and that amount of ground worked out then it will be shifted on as required. The distance to bedrock is the query Mr. Lambert has to answer. It is there the gold and plajinum lodged in the long ago and he proposes to dislodge some of it for his own use and benefit—(hope he gets a ton of it.) Mr. Lambert is an old Atlin miner and made a snug fortune there. He is an expert miner and conducted a placer mining school in the Klondyke days, some of his pupils being almost able to find gold by scent. Some very pretty souvenirs of Atlin in the form of nugget watch chains, Mr. Lambert carries with him and are most interesting. He is an earnest advocate of a wagon' road along Granite Creek, a work that the government is willing to undertake when some of the tardy ones make up their minds they want it. Ju=t as those premonitory' signs of earthquaxe are unmistakable and distinct so also is it with the'building of the railway to Princetqn, signs of which are equally evident and one may be sure, much more pleasant 'to take.' At last, preparations for actual grading have begun. Superintendent of construction, Geo. Cunningham, was in town Tuesday ordering material for a camp to be started 'on the Similkameen River about three miles below town. This camp will serve two heavy rock cuts, one on either side. | Another camp for • earthwork will be built.near Allison and still another nigh ^.Princeton when required >and as the spirit m'oves.the inpcrrjtablejirn. It will take about seven months to finish the heavier cuts the balance of the ftirhe required to complete JtheKfine is the merestt guesswork—itv'm'ay take iyears, it rnay<take forever, .j Tjhe .perfect- iing o£aijships is going on.apace a^d it is not unlikely that in the race between them'an'd trie locomotive the ship will twin into Princeton. Meantime citizens will welcorfle"ttfeT0_r~6f"Jiirr Hill's artillery among the suburban hills. no public telephone connection with Princeton these painful incidents would be avoided. Mr1. Fitzgerald has the sincere sympathy of many friends, which is also extended to family of deceased in the loss of father and breadwinner. The family, mother and five children, resides at Suma's, Wash., where" Mr. Fitzgerald died on'July 23rd. PROGRESS IS OBSERVED. WILD FRUIT PLENTIFUL. Parties from the hills and Hope Mountains give it out that there will be 'oceans' of wild fruit this year. Someone has a forturre' staring them in the face who will embark in the canning or 'drying of wild .fruits, especially huckleberries, which now cost at least 25 or 30 cents per tin of one pint. A good tonic wine is produced from the olalla and as a dietetic fruit in the form of "soap- olalla" it is said to be beneficial in constipation and of some merit in spurring on a jaded or lazy liver. The pill editor now leaves the reader to act as he wills, the simple curatives and the simple life are his if he desires. Trip Through the Similkameen, Land of Minerals and other Resources. Ernest Thomas arrived from Penticton- last week on a visit and was pleased to> note the evidences of progress in the substantial buildings that are now in course of erection • and those that have , bee_n„ erected. , His faith in the great undeveloped .natural resources of this country has never wavered a little bit. The times "are fairly good in Penticton, and Keremeos is now passing through the primary stages of a far- reaching revolutionary movement affecting the social.and agricultural conditions* in that prolific section.

No doubt about its future; the gold is there and wherever this alluring stuff is there will be something'- doing and no empty din— . ner -pails . standing around with a bad' smell in.them. Of course it's wrong to ■covet, but if Princeton had the Nickel. ! Plate and the Daly Reduction payroll it would be a town of a few thousand people, at least. Two hundred delegates are coming to Penticton the second weeir- of August to inspect irrigation methods and otherwise get in touch with the people and their fruit culture. ; Mi. Thomas returned to Penticton on. Monday. He says that Geo. Winkler, an old time Princtonian, is in the hills searching for a lost mine, his quest now- baying extended over a period of four years. MESSAGE WAS TOO LATE. R. Fitzgerald has had a sad experience through the absence of a public telephone in Princeton. A message from a dying brother having to go to Hedley for transmission by post to Princeton took so long in transit that he was not able to reach the sick one before his life departed and thus too late to meet him alive. If the manager of the line would make it known on the outside that theie was A reader wants an explanation of the motto under the Star title : Let a voracious, designing, patronizing person into your friendship and they will either ruin or gobble you altogether.

He must read write and speak every ancient and modern language, with all the dialects thereof.

The Princeton Livery and Feed Stables HUSTON BROS., Props. To get rich quick and easy is the ambition of many. They defalcate and steal and lie, never thinking that those means frequently result in tbe loss of years behind the bars or, what is of more importance, the lost confidence of their . neighbors and feliow citizens. In England the problem of Sunday labor is receiving serious consideration. The House of Lords has recently passed the Weekly Rest Day Bill which provides for every workingman a Sunday rest from toil. By this law greedy corporations and individuals would be obiiged to " rest up." Incessant work is even more dangerous to the physical and moral existence of man than none at all.

Every legitimate means to induce these to come here and locate should be employed and every citizen should organize himself or herself into a committee of one to promote the good work. The town scavenger reports that some citizens refuse his services, preferring to dump their closet contents on the garden or in the river. It was to prevent pollution of the rivers and wells, sources of drinking Vga^er. supply, that health and sanitary officers were appointed by the government. So far, Princeton enjoys the reputation of being cleanly and free from any endemic disease. It would be false economy on the part of citizens to withhold patronage of the scavenger and it would be false justice to permit any evasion of the law by those who are perfectly able to pay. for the necessary scavenging. Four hundred and fifty Union Jacks have been sent out to as many schools in the province. The hours are fixed by regulation of tbe Department for the flag to fly. As a means of inculcating loyalty in the children of the land there is much in favor of the flag idea. But the loftiest patriotism comes only from the lives of great men who by their words and deeds proved their love and devotion for their country. It is in the reading of history and biography of patriots, as well as song, that lofty inspiration is given to the young.

To permit a government-owned utiugl to be run any old way so far as reports and receipts are concerned, and to use the line as a means of " getting even" with anyone who happens to incur the ill will of those in control of it, would be an unanswerable argument against government ownership and have a tendency to breed corruption of the. foulest kind.
