PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1910. $2 a Year in Advance! Vol. XL No. 50. mm m THE BOARD OF TRADE Important Resolution to Government Re Delay in Building V.,V.&E. Trail to Steamboat is Needed for the Coming Spring Stampede- Officers Elected. At the regular meeting of the board of trade Monday night there was a large attendance, including the president and Messrs. Lumsden, Marlow, Murdock, Groffman, Willarson, Woods, Powell, French, Day, Britton, Barnes, Snowden, Smith, Baker and Avery. Communications were read from the Hon. Edgar, Dewdney re public buildings in which to place the postoffice, the telephone office, customs, excise or other Dominion government employee's quarters, received and filed. From A. E Howse. on request of the secretary of Vancouver board of trade. Wm. Skene, inviting Princeton board to assist in pressing upon the provincial government the necessity of securing early completion of the V.,V. & E. railway. Railway Must be Built Quickly. In the ensuing discussion the fact was pointedly referred to that Merritt and Penticton were both on the highway to progress and prosperity, a state of things contingent upon cheap and quick access to Vancouver. Princeton district, Keremeos and Hedley, with all their vast natural wealth were kept in a backward state for want of a completed V.,V. & E- railway. By unanimous voice of the board the following resolution was passed and wired to the Vancouver board in general meeting assembled on 6th inst. ' Resolved: That Princeton board of trade respectfully urges government to accelerate construction of V., V. & E. Delays disastrous to Similkameen.' Trail to Steamboat. The board having already taken initial tive steps toward securing an appropria-l tion from the governmeut for completing a trail to the Steamboat goldfields, the question of estimated amount required was reopened for consideration. The dominant sentiment was that the government should build the trail as soon as possible in order that it would be available for the spring stampede. To build the necessary bridges and complete the trail the estimated sum of $2000 would be required, and this amount will be asked for. A large revenue will recoup the government for any expenditure in making the trail. It is expected that thousands of prospectors will swarm into the Steamboat and adiacent country, now that the miueralized zone is known j.o be more extensive than at first anticipated. By the Princeton-Steamboat trail there is virgin prospecting ground all the way and some rich discoveries are expected in the vicinity of Hope mountains. Mr. Groffman kindly offered tu furnish a map of the trail country. The secretary was instrncted by the board to write ttie Great Northern Passenger Agent asking him to route Steam boat traffic via Princeton. The president, on suggestion of the board, nominated Messrs. Avery, Mur dock and Marlow as ■> committee to wait Continued on 3rd page. CONQUERED MT. ROBSON. Rev G. R. B. Kinney, Keremeos, is the author of an interesting brochure, ' Mount Robson and Beautiful Jasper Park,' in which he describes the mag nificent scenery of the Yellowhea I Pass now soon to resound with the whistle of the Giand Trunk locomotive. Mr. Kinney and his companion, Doa_ld Phillips, are the only hnuianVbeings to scale Mt. Robson. The ascent\/so thrilliugly and graphically told by Mr, Kinney, will never be effaced fiom the memories of the daring mountaineers. They ac complished something that noted Alpinists had failed to do, the latest attempt being that of Dr. N. Collie, vice president of the English Alpine Club aud A. L. Mamm, a London publisher. With the necessary coolness and courage Mr. Kinney has conquered Mt. Robson with its sheer rise of about 12,000 feet, and so he and Mr. Phillips will live in mountain lore, their children's children handing down also their names to posterity and to fame. ^ti_i AIL TO STEAMBOAT CAMP. /Editor Star—Sir: I notice in your last week's issue a reference to trails to Steamboat mining camp. There is a trail connecting with that camp now. The route from Princeton is easier to travel over than the one from Hope on account of horse feed all the way. It is about 40 miles from Princeton to Muddy Creek Pass and from there to Greenwalt's location is 4 miles. The trail to Muddy Creek Pass is good and can be travelled any time of the year. There is much less snow on the Roche river trail thau on the Hope trail Any parties starting from Princeton can always get horses and guides. Princeton is closer for Spokane and eastern parties. Yours truly, C. M. Snowden. . Princeton, Dec. 2, 1910. The Owl Skating Rink has had the waiting room laid with linoleum, and flooding the rink will shortly be done.

There was no damage and the fire brigade had some exercise, which could not fail to be beneficial. The mildness of our climate could not have better proof than the fact that pansies are still in bloom and Percy Rowlands only last week harvested his cabbage.

In Ireland the men of the north have sworn they will not pay taxes to the Dublin government if Home Rule be granted. It would be utterly cruel to make the two opposing religious elements in the green little isle sit under one roof and in the same room to discuss political questions. Why not divide Ireland into two provinces, giving the Orangemen the North and the Green the South ? If Princeton had direct communication with Vancouver and the coast it would not be long until the town would show the same rate of -advancement as its progressive .neighbors, Penticton and Merritt. These two places flourish because of the lite infused from olose touch with large cities. A little faster, Uncle Jim, please, with wheelbarrow construction of tbe V..V. & E.
