Princeton coal is precious, hence the term 'black diamonds.'
There is danger in extremes, moderation is always safer
Coal is the backbone  and mainstay of Princeton and  six different coal companies are wise to thffi fact—Thousands of miners will
yet be employed in this district inShe production of coal and the manufacture of coke—Metalliferous mines In the vicinity.

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

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.

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. .

The British elections are being
fought with all the bitterness and
partizan rancor which marked the
last campaign. 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,

THE    SIMILKAMEEN   STAR
upon  the  chairman   ot the Conservative
Association,,C. E. Thomas, re Steamboat
trail.
The board discussed the question of
advertising Princeton as headquarters for
Steamboat outfitting. The funds of the
board are expected to be anailable for
this purpose. And in this connection it
would look well for all those interested
in the Steamboat trail to show their sincerity by depositing a 'plunk' with the
treasurer and join the board, thus relieving a few citizens of the burden of
keeping up an institution that now seems
to be very useful.
A vote of thanks was presented the
retiring president of the board, which
were duly acknowledged. His annual
report is expected to be read next meeting.
The following officers were elected for
the year 1911: President, J. D Lumsden ;
