PER YEAR": $2, Cash Single Copy, 5c Citeap Power fcr Manna isl Mineral Weill y*w- LAND FOR SETTLERS IS FREE-CREMATE It THE DEAD (Staff Correspondence of Star) Victoria, Feb. 17.—Members of tbe provincial legislature were regal .d on Tuesday with two very eloquent addresses delivered by Hon. W. R. Ross, minister of lands, in connection with the presentation of the respective bills regarding the inclusion of additional territory in the Strathcona park, and also for the reservation of 882 acres in the vicinity of Mt. Robson, which is to be utilized as the newest playground for- British Columbians. The bill provides for an extension of Strathcona park amounting to 204 sq. miles, bringing up the total area to 704 sq. miles. Mr. Ross explained that the high altitude of Mt. Robson park unfitted it for agricultural use, but that resources in the form of marble quarries and other mineral wealth had been discovered within its boundaries and would be utilized as soon as it was feasible to do so. His description of the scenic beau ties bespoke familiarity and appreciation of the marvels wrought by nature in this spot, so far removed from civilization, L. W. Shatford, M.P.P., has presided over the activities of the private bills committee in the absence of the chairman, E. Miller, M.P.pN Echoes of the coal miners' strike at Cumberland reverberated through the house on Wednesday in a long speech by the opposition leader, Parker Williams, M.P.P., who sought to introduce a reso lutton calling fot a committee to investigate the issues at variance between the Canadian Collieries [Dunsmuir Ltd] and the employees of the company, now striking Tracing the origin of the strike, as he alleged, to discrimination on the part of the company against two men who were employed on a gas committee in No. 2 Extension rnine, Mr. Williams cited some ancient history. He said the company had discharged one of the members of this gas committee outright, and the other would doubtless have been dis charged, had not the strike occurred. It behooved Premier Sir Richard McBride, in- his capacity as minister of mines to deny the sofU impeachment alleged by the member from Newcastle that .the government was in any way responsible, or had it in their power to terminate the strike. Sir Richard pointed out that in view of the very large investment which the Canadian Collieries had at Cumberland and Extension and because of the fact that the company had already lost over half a million dollars as the result of the strike it was extremely unlikely that they should indulge in petty discrimination or spite against two minor employees of the mine when by so doing they would invite further loss. He could also state positively that the company were willing to take back the men at any time providing the International ^Iine Workers, a union with headquarters at Indianapolis, were not recognized as controlling their action in the matter. Mr. Williams' resolution was defeated by a vote of 35 to 2. The carrying of air guns by the rising generation is forbidden in the Offensive Weapons bill fathered by the attorney- general, Hon. Mr. Bowser. It seems that these weapons are dangerous to sight when in careless hands. Hence the clause. The negligence of the clergy and medical professions in registering vital statistics was commented upon caustically bj the hon. the provincial secretary on Thursday. Citing one particular instance of neglect which had been brought to his attention hon. Dr. Young related an instance where a well known clergyman brought in the accumulated births, deaths and marriages which had occurred in his parish during the past 21 years. The clergy and 'he medical professions he dec ared should realize, or be made to realize the importance of registering these s atistlcs to ensure the legitimacy of children or to protect the rights of property, He intended to prosecute to the full extent of the law any future case of neglect coming to his knowledge. Hon, Dr. Young introduced a measure to validate the burning of human remains, known as the 'Cremation Act.' The minister of education recommends the Act as a sanitary and scientific means of disposing of the dead. The Land Act has been amended by the Hon. W. R. Ross and after March 31, proximo, preemptors may take land on payment of $2 for the record and $10 as crown grant fee. The land and the cost of survey are given without charge. After occupation for three years and making permanent improvements to the value of $5 per acre, including the clearing and bringing under cultivation of at least five acres, the applicant shall be entitled to receive a certificate of improvement under Form No. 4. It is further enacted that all persons in arrears under any former Act or this Act shall upon due notice in the official Gazette pay same to the minister or forfeit all right and such money as shall have been paid. All minerals, oil and natural gis are reserved to the crown. The acreage taken will be regulated by the lieutenant-governor in council. Neil Thompson is selling his household effects preparatory to removing to Riverside, Wash , where he will embark in the blacksmith business. Both Mr. and Mrs, Thompson will be missed in social, fraternal and athletic circles and their departure will be regretted by a host of friends. BIG MINING CAPITAL C0MING==PR0FITS • ARE HUGE The development of Leadville mining camp and the importance attaching to it through the investment of capital have made it imperative that wagon transportation should be afforded those operating in that camp. The Princeton conservative association and the board of trade' have endorsed the proposal for a road and it will in all likelihood be built this summer by the department of public works. Johnnie Carlson and Andy Jensen have a group of twenty mineral claims near the Ross mining property, Leadville. W.H.Taylor, representing Patsy Clark, the Montana millionaire mining man, is iu Princeton. He has acquired some in terest in mineral claims at Leadville and will, no doubt, consider legitimate-propositions in any camp. Mr. Taylor will bring his family here and make business excursions to camps as required. During the last six months of 1912 the Granby yielded profits amounting to $796,054. The company closed the year with a balance* of cash and copper on hand of $1,095,575. >^||fj The purchase of Voigt camp by the B.C. Copper Co. has been advanced to a stage where both parties to the deal are no longer iu doubt as to the issue. The formalities of closing the transaction are now progressing. LOCAL AND GENEBAL. King & Gibson have removed their store to the Naish block, Bridge street, formerly occupied bv D. M. French. They will be pleased to show their customers builders' hardware and supplies in connection with the building trade. Rev. T. A. Osborne and family leave for England in the early summer, having had urgent invitations to revisit the old land and probably remain. Frontier religious work has many drawbacks and is often discouraging. Good efficient men do not remain on missionary outposts, always being called to more appreciative fields. Mr. Osborne has' made man v| friends and is held in very high regard by brethren of local orders. Auditor Walker of the P. Burns Co. Ld, was in town yesterday. The Picture Show is well patronized aBd all are pleased with the programs, .vhich include high class drama. Geo. Barman of Conconully, Wash., was in town this week and likes the prospects so well that he will locate with his family. Rev. Mark Jukes will preach his fare well sermon in the church of England next Snnday, to which all are cordially invited. Mr. Jukes expects to leave on Monday for his home in Vancouver. *He has faithfully labored among his flock for the past nine months, not always with the encouragement he deserved, yet persistently and patiently preaching the Word. Mr. Jukes ■ takes with him high respect and good wishes of the community. RAILWAY POINTS. The Great Northern railway company binds itself to build and complete the. line from Oroville to Wenatchee by December 31st, this year. This will bring Princeton nearer to the coast than it has ever been, saving, probably two or three hundred miles. Tracklaying has reached Tonasket on the Wenatchee branch of the G N. With only two steam shovels at work and the differences between the V.,V. & E. and Kettle Valley companies still unsettled, it is rather hopeless that either road will be completed within the time announced so boastingly last fall. Jim Hill is in the troglodyte class when quick action is required and TomShaugh- uessy resembles a lychnobyte, sleeping when he ought to be working. Wake up ! Wake up ! HOCKEY IS 'THE' GAME. Still another victoiy was added to the triumphal spring won by theJ.rince.on *^^(rj hockey club and the match played last Friday is probably the culmination of the season's sport. A lsrge crowd witnessed the game and the enthusiasm was catching. The ice was slow and the game disappointing as a sp.ctacular attraction, it/spite of which there was brilliant play in spots?** Carmichael and Armstrong^rfor Keremeos redeemed the game from lassitude or inertia our own players giving particular attention to the rules and the opportunity afforded for practise on 'hot,' slush ice. Hockey is our national winter game and as such is without a peer in interest and excitement, besides, it generates that^spirit of friendly rivalry which characterizes true sportsmen. Next winter should see a hockey league formed in the Similkameeu district. Score: 2-0. Followiug is the lineup: Keremeos. B. Cawston W. Frith C. Armstrong C. Keeler L. Coleman R.

WRIGHT) PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY At PRINCETON, B.C., by Mere reference must suffice today in reply to our esteemed cotem., the Hedley Gazette, which scarcely accords Star justice in its political, humorous, philosophic, economic and scientific editorial of last week. Technically and from an ex parte viewpoint the Gazette's defense of the Hedley Gold Mines Co. is sane and safe in ,its own behalf, but the great principle involved in absentee ownership, whereby none of the profits are returned or invested in enterprise that would help Hedlay and district, is entirely lost sight of. Absentee landhogs made one little island ' the most distressed country that ever you did see.' What has become of the land granted to the preceding company, now owned, we believe, by the H.G.M. Co. ? Before the Gazette was, Star urged the government to grant this land for smelter and other industrial purposes. If this fine soil were held by honest settlers it would support more than foreign fungi, cacti and rattlesnakes and be a blessing to Hedley and district. The question of absentee ownership with a dc- nothing policy that 'bleeds white' is one which Star intends forcing on the Dominion and Imperial governments. Akin to this question is the enormous per capita tax from unions and fraternal orders, 'bleeding white' by going to a foreign country never to return. Will Gazette favor protection that benefits all, instead of that corrupting, mushy stuff which centralizeswealth and limits trade with high tariff. Yes, or no, Gazette, without further argument.

The annual ball given by the Rebekah lodge last Friday night was.one ot the best ever held in the 'old town.' The hall was comfortably filled with willing waltzers who neither wearied nor halted -to the inspiring strains of music from ^/'rof. Legg's orchestra. The Rebekah ladies and gentlemen may well be congratulated for the success of the function. Guests from Coalmont, Keremeos, Hedley, Tulameen and Granite creek were in attendance. The spring-poet is due to arrive—crows are here. P. Burns & Co. and Len Huston have sort of sandwiched the Star between two ice houses containing many tons of solid aqua pura. The 'devil' thinka that he has a good chance of keeping cool dur. ing next dog davs and will improve the opportunity to reduce the temperature of his tinpanum while grinding out heavy editorial on the railway delay. Guthrie & Co , V.,V. & E. contractors, have secured the services of Dr. McCaffrey for their employees and will seud patients to Princeton general hospital. Miss Nora Lyall was a visitor from Hedley recently. Frank Chitty, formerly lightning press operator and compositor on the Star, has started a new paper in Molson, Wash., making two that he has begun in that town during past "six months. Frank is hard to beat/when it comes to'startin* somethin' and may he win at the finish. It is reported that Welldo townsite will be put on the market in the early summer. It contains some very attractive acreage and its famed soup spring has caused considerable local comment. a *z**z**z**z**z**z**z**z**z~z**z^^ M BANK Or MONTREAL i f I i I Y Y 1 1 i t <__ ESTABLISHED 1817—HEAD OFFICE, MONTREAL R.
