Vol. X. No. 26. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1909. $2 a Year in Advance UYlNfi STEEL NOW V.,V. & E. Track Creeping op the Valley—Grading Well Ahead. Hill People Spending Big Money in West Building Railways for New Tonnage. Tracklaying is proceeding at a fair rate on the V., V. & E. The first bridge over the Similkameen, from Keremeos, will be ready for train passage on July 4th Ballasting will begin as ".oon.as ten miles of track is laid, the assetnl ling of men, cars, steam shovel and a small village on wheels being made now for that pur pose. Grading is going on at the usual pace and there is no doubt tliat the contractors will keep welt in advance of the tail layers. Contractor Hankinson will shortly throw a temporary bridge across the Sim- ilkauieeu, thus delivering dirt in town for yard and station area. The spur to the V.F.M. Co's coal mine will be commenced soon. The Wenatchee branch of the V.,V. & E. is under contract from Oroville to Brewster. J. J. Hill, prophet and railroad wizard, says that Canada will have a population of fifty millions in 1950. Division Engineer Hale will shortly remove to Princeton. The Railway Journal states that the Hill people will spend $15,000,000 on construction in the west this year. What proportion of that sum the V...V. & E. will receive is not mentioned but it is estimated that $3,000,000 will be required to build the link from Princeton to near Cloverdale. SOME DIFFICULTIES RUNNING FRONTIER PAPER. ■ The Star has hitherto referred to the fact of its columns being mainly devoted to local news, leaving the news of the world to filter into the community by the semi weekly and daily press. To maintain its prestige as a local paper it- must be provided with local news. Next to the advertiser and the paidup subscriber the best supporter jof, the Star and public spirited person is the one who gives mining, real estate or ordinary local items tor publication. The Star must get its news from others direct as it can only afford a staff of one and he has to sweep out, 'eat pie,' wash inky rollers, answer saucy letters from delinquents, entertain interviewers and vice versa, fill the 'editorial chair,' study political and other kinds of economy, write something on the most abstruse subjects of the age, set type, keep right ear to the ground to catch railway rumblings and read the Gazette at least three times to find one measly 2-line item of. news. Never one derogatory remark nor harsh criticism of the Star has ever been heard by the editor, on the contrary some genuine 'bouquetf' have been received from near and far on the good work it has and is doing. But the Star is not content with merely doing well, it wants to do better, improve. Reader, will you help? FINE ORE SAMPLES FOR THE A Y.P. EXPOSITION. A splendid ore sample for the A Y.P. at Seattle has been received from tl Red Star, owned by -Pouwels & Bouji ver. It is a little late coming down owing to the difficult packing over a r >ugh trail. But its value and size. 95 lbs , will more than compensate the government for any delay in its arrival This ore runs 26 per cent, in copper, 6 ozs. of silver and $3 gold, per ton. It it. strongly impregnated with sulphur and arsenic, and a large quantity of copper s dphides in solution drains through the tunnel, jthe commercial value of which cinnot be fully exploited without rail transportation In Butte, Montana, and at the RioTinto mines in Spain the sulphides of copper in solution are utilized for the conversion of iron into copper bv immersion. Messrs. Pouwels & Bonni- ver have done a lot of development work and have shown the existence of a lead about 400 feet wide. Col. Stevenson is also sending fine ore samples from Summit camp and Five- Mile. ^Mi LACKING SOMEWHAT IN FACT AND REALITY. A telegram going the rounds of the daily press says : "James J. Hill has informed Mayor Jamieson of Calgary that he is 'rushing' the completion of his 'Penticton branch' with the object of getting a strong foothold on the Rocky mountain section of Canada, and then be able to reach out into the prairie provinces. Mr. Hill said the peop'e of western Canada need not be surprised if they found that he had swooped down into their territory, as that is his intention." [As far as people here are aware, there is no Penticton branch building or contemplated ; there is no rushing of construction anywhere, and as for Uncle Jim swooping down, that is probably a joke. The main line of the V.,V. & E. is building to Princeton and will^cdn- tinue to build to the coast—that is all there is 'to it.'—Ed.] Wm. Britton arrived from Seattle recently, whither he went as a witness in a legal case. He speaks well of the A.Y.P. as a whole. The mineral section was not open to the public and would be delayed for some days owing to the large number of samples. The Princeton samples had arrived. TWO TRAINS HELD UP Bold Robbers Make Ducks the Scene of Double Monday N Sleuths, Scouts, Indian trackers, !|ives and Mounted Men will Persue. hey say lightning never strikes twice the same place. It is different with train robbers. Uucks, on the C.P.R., is again the scene of a train holdup, two, in fact. Constable Hewat received very meagre instructions from his chief that a holdup had taken place at Ducks on Monday night about 11 o'clock. .^.W ', It appears that two trains, either cross iug or a section following the main train, were held by the bold bandits and plundered. No further particulars are available now. Scouts will cover the whole country as was done in the Bill Miner holdup of May, 1906. Fortunately, no one living in this section is suspected of any connection with these holdups. Miner and one of his pals lived here two years prior to 1906. QUICK ACTION OF BRIGADE STOPS FIRE. The fire bell rang out an alarm last Friday about noon, caused by a small blaze on the roof ot the Chinese laundry at the rear of the Thomas block. A defective stove pipe runniug through the roof and a big fire in the stove did the damage. The fire brigade responded to the call with commendable alacrity and Chief Campbell isproud of the materiel at his command. More than ever the wisdom of purchasing a fire alarm bell is manifest, which with the proposed water works to be installed, will give Princeton uptodate fire protection. Inspection of every chimney and stovepipe should be matte by the fire wardens, if not already done. PRINCETON WILL MAKE THE LION ROAR. The celebration of Dominion Day has assumed such proportions now that it is certain a good time is in store for all who visit Princeton that day. It is the last time the 'old town' will celebrate under primitive conditions, for next year there will be railroad trains to bring the crowds instead of the kicking cayuse as now. The race track has been put in good condition and good sport is expected. All the attractions will be carried out in their entirety. It is urged that the town be decorated along the business streets and that all publie buildings be suitably 'dressed with flags and bunting. Friends from all parts °of the Similkameen arc invited to be present and Umake the day memorable. Sweethearts and wives, come ; tillicums chako potlach. PRECAUTIONARY STEPS TO STAY SMALLPOX. Dr. Fagan, secretary of the provincial board of health, writing to Dr. Duncan, Vernon, says : "In view of the fact that smallpox is present at many points in the province, I beg to call your attention to the following sections in the smallpox regulations: it. When smallpox is present in the- province, any physician who is called to. visit a person suffering from chickenpox shall immediately give written notice to the medical health officer. 10. Phy»icians, teachers and householders shall notify the medical health officer of the presence, or suspected presence, of chickenpox." TOWN AND DISTRICT NEWS PARAGRAPHED. A delightful shower of rain on Sunday gave another boost to the. crops, which are now in splendid condition. Manager and Mrs. Marlow have moved to their commanding residential quarters- in the Hall block, over the Bank of Commerce. The bank quarters will soon be in readiness for occupation. The Britton block is fast receiving its final touches from foreman Neil Mc- Fadden. Miss Laura Irwin, sister of Bert, is.a graduate of.Toronto Conservatory of Music and leaves for England shortly. Gibson's lake, up Five-Mile, is the angler's Mecca just now. Some pretty big fish yarns have been spun by visitors to this lake. The sea serpent and whale stories are usually sprung at all new fishing resoits, so far, however, Gibson's has escaped. But look out for the fellow .who talks about mermaids. Albert and Nels Johnson arrived from the coast last Wednesday, where they had been all winter. They are going to work on A's mineral claims, Bear creek. While at the coast Albert sent a man to the Washington state prison for having stolen money entrusted to him. School closes next week, Wednesday, for the summer holidays. Public examinations, to which parents and others interested are invited, will be held from the hour of 11 a.m. to 12. Principal Cochrane will visit at the coast returning at the close of the vacation to-ies'ume his arduous duties. Ritchie Bros., of Summerland,' were visitors to-Princeton last week, coming across country via Five-Mile creek. They are townsite promoters, real estate speculators and all round investors and capitalists. They were much pleased with' Princeton and will come again. n THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR .. ■ ■ Jdne 23, 1909.

A remarkable chapter in the history of the Similkameen valley and district is being unfolded in this year of grace, 1909. So far as human foresight can penetrate it is certain that the close of the year will find Princeton in touch with the outside world by the operation of tbe Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern Railway, built by the Great Northern. The history of western development shows that the ' iron horse' is the greatest factor in the progress of new countries: Some of the oldtimers on the frontier bewail the dawn of a new era of progress and competition. They hate to part with the free-and-easy life and the days of romance and adventure. But the world would stand still if these persons had their way. So, a physical and social revolution is at hand in the Similkameen. The railroad is slowly and stealthily transforming the old into a new order of things. ' Varions problems confront every' new community. Municipal organization and the thousand complex questions to be dealt with in laying the foundations broad and . deep for a city will call for honest, honorable and capable men—-men of good repute. The latest methods of making known to the world the immense resources, of this district must be adopted. Harmony and united action On every matter pertaining to the public welfare is very essential. Competitors in every line of business, even that of the newspaper, will, doubtless, come to Princeton—welcome them rather than discourage. Throw pessimism, which is only jealousy and a torpid liver combined and is utterly vile, to the winds when conversing with the visitor and inspire him with the and progress be the aim ot every confidence you possess. Let unity citizen. best paying business left to the express companies, instead of being done by the government, as it is in England and other European countries? Evidently because the owners of these companies, being high railway officials, are able to protect their graft in the usual way. And these people had the nerve to call Bill Miner a robber! Honest men do not steal from express companies, or from train-robbers, and for the same reasons: that it might be bad for tbe health, and that it certainly would be bad for the morals; it would degrade the thief to the level of Bill, though not tbe far deeper degradation of the express grafter.

Many a man attributes hia wealth to judicious advertising. #In fact no man can be successftrr in mercantile, manufacturing or other business pursuit dependent on public patronage nth- out advertising. . Yet tl*re* are men who, .knowing this, yet sttrW tify their trade and injure their prospects for expansion by refusing to publish their business. Another and important aspect of the question of advertising is to be found in the improved appearance of the local paper when properly supported by every eligible business in the town. Public spiritcdness alone, if not ; for business reasons, •should prompt every commercial concern to put an ad. small or big in the local paper. Everyone knows that the appearance ,of a newspaper is only the reflection made upon it by the constituents or citizens it represents. The Star is conscious of its faults, failures and errors but of one thing it cannot be fairly accused : neglect of the interests of the town and dstrict. In season and out of season, without prejudice toward any or selfish ambition, it has always aimed to promote the general good of the whole community. Iu this service of the public it has dropped into a 'hole' nine hundred dollars deep, in other words it has a debt of that amount.

While the other papers are reeling off rot by the yard on subjects of no practical use or benefit to the average British Columbian,the Sunset (it should be named Sunrise) is drawing attention to some wrong, or helping to upbuild the province. The sun will not set, but ever rise, on our confrere while the good work continues.
