PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1908. $2 a Year, in Advance p4 •m POLITICAL BOMB EXPLODED Inward History Japanese Immigration Traced to Very Door of McBride Ministry by Duncan Ross, M*P* McBride and Bowser Facing Both Ways in Their Endeavors to Please the Soulless C.P.R. and the Working- men Voters oi this Province. On January 20tb, Duncan Ross, M. P. for Yale-Cariboo, delivered a speech in the House of Commons on the Japanese, dealing particularly with the part played by Premier McBride and Attorney-General Bowser on this all absorbing Oriental immigration question. Mr. Rosa in an able and pointed speech shows up the mendacious actions of McBride and Bowser in indeavoring to fix' the blame on the Dominion Government for the Japanese influx to British Columbia. I n order to give Star readers a chance to learn the truth of this matter, and show them how the country has been betrayed by Messts McBride and Bowser, we publish the speech, as follows: "As was our duty, representing public opinion in the Province of British Columbia, members from British Columbia have in this House endeavored to prees upon the Government and upon Parliament and the people of the east the views of the people of British Columbia. "On the other hand, friends of the honorable gentlemen opposite, have represented the other extreme views. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the Canadian Manufacturers Employers' Association, and other large employers of 1 ibor who are known to have been friendly to the honorable gentlemen op posite, have laid it down as their policy that all barriers to cheap labor in this country should be broken down and tht t an unlimited supply of Oriental labor should he allowed to come into this country. "Again, the Right Hon. the Premier, exercising that sound judgment which he has always displayed, stepped into the breach and by a happy compromise has, I believe, succeeded in satisfactorily set tling this question. It has not been settled in the way people of British Columbia wanted it settled, because, though we were ready and even anxious to take most drastic measures to absolutely insure that there should be no further Oriental immigration into that province, ;he people of that province are reasonable people and so long as they have assurances that this question hi s been settled in a manner that will insure them what they want, they are not going to I complain because they possibly did not get everything they wanted. There is no good reason why if by diplomatic action which has been successfully carried on by the Honorable the Postmaster-General a satisfactory solution of the dangerous question has been secured, that anyone should complain because his own method of settling the question was not adopted. "But, sir, notwithstanding the fact that everything that has been done lookin'g towards the settlement of this question, and every effort that has been made to meet the views of the people ot the prov ince of British Columbia are to the credit of this Government, the Premier of the province of British Columbia and his fol lowers are day in and day out attempting to convince the people there that the Laurier Government is hostile to their views an 1 is not anxious for a settlement of this question. This Government appointed a royal commission to investigate the question a number of years ago and jn accordance with the recommendation of that commission they imposed a $500 head tax on Chinese with the result that that portion of the question was settled to the satisfaction of the people of British Columbia. In response to representations made by the people of British Columbia, the Postmaster General was sent to Japan for the purpose of arranging a settlement of the other side of the question and he returns with a settlement which I am bound to believe will result as satisfactorily so far bs the province of British Columbia is concerned as the imposition of a $500 poll tax on Chinese. ' Notwithstanding these facts, sir, it cannot be disputed that the Conservative party in the province of British Columbia are endeavoring to keep alive this agitation and by the passage of acts which have been declared again and again to be ultra vires of the authority of provincial legislation, they are endeavoring to make it difficult for this Government to secure * satisfactory settlement of this question. No opportunity is lost by Conservative leaders in British Columbia to endeavor tp_.pl ace British Columbia representatives in this House in a false light before the people of British Columbia, and in jus- (Continued on page 3.) FIREMEN'S HOP A SUCCESS. Annual Dance Well Attended and Enjoyable Time Spent—Twenty- Eight Dollars Surplus. The annual ball given by the Princeton Volunteer Fire Brigade Wednesday night proved a most enjovable affair. The ball room had been artistically and appropriately decorated for the occasion and presented a very pretty picture. Everything tending to the comfort and well being of the dancers was provided for and a sumptuous repast was served at mid might. Dancing was kept up till three a. m. and even then the merry dancers were reluctant to pass from the scene of festivities, so well had they enjoyed themselves, and all are agreed that the fire laddies are pastmasters in the art of entertaining. A meeting of the ball committee was held on Friday evening when accounts in connection with the dance were submitted and it was gratifying to leatn that a surplus of $28 was shown over and above all expenses. This will materially swell the bell fund. The committee also desire to thank all those who so kindly donated cakes etc., thereby greatly assisting in making the affair a success. LOCAL AND GENERAL. DEATH OF JIMMY STEVES. Jimmy Steves, who was injured a couple of weeks ago by being thrown from a sleigh, on the road between Bromley's and Hedley, while breaking a young horse, died on Sunday morning. At the time of the accident Steves received a nasty cut on the head and other injuries, but did not think it serious enough to call in medical aid. He con- tiuued to go about as usual for about a week when he was stricken down with partial paralysis of the brain and Dr. Schon was then summoned. The doctor did all possible for the sufferer, but he had been called too late, and the unfortunate man succumbed to his injuries as stated. The Rev. Mr. Conn was called to the bedside of the dying man and comforted him in his last hours. The deceased was in his twenty-ninth year and leaves a mother, sister and brothet to mourn his death. Steves was well known in the Similkameen for his daring feats of horsemanship and was rated one of the best riders in the country. The interment took place yesterday afternoon at the reservation near Allison in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends, Rev. Mr. Conn ofij- ciating at the grave. A report was circulated a few days ago that a Chinaman at Granite Creek had smallpox. Dr. Schon was despatched to investigate and be-found that the Celestial was suffering from nothing more serious than an attack of eczema. Large Sale of Nursery Stock—Murderer Captured—"Sidelights on Married Life." The bridge over the Similkameen river at Allison underwent repairs last week new stringers being put in and is now in first class condition. Mrs. L. Huston left yesterdoy for Cas- seltou,' North Dakota, haying received the sad intelligence of her mother's serious illness. On Friday evening Rev. Mr. Conn will deliver his usual fortnightly lecture, the subject for this occasion being "Sidelights on Married Life." He will also conduct divine services o.n Sunday evening, usual place and hour. The married ladies of Princeton propose giving a dance on the 28th inst. It should prove the best ever. _ What is probably the largest sale of nursery stock ever made by one firm in British Columbia, says the Penticton Press, is now being put through by the Okanagan Nursery Co. of Penticton. The purchasers are the Fraser Valley Nursery Co. of Burnaby, near New Westminster, and the nursery stock will aggregate between fifteen and sixteen thousand dollars and embraces nearly every variety of fruit tree specially adapted to the province. Mrs. Dell Young returned last Friday from a visit to her brother, T. McAlpine, of Summerland. Francisco Cedio, who blew up the Canadian Hotel, near Grand Forks, with dynamite, killing Louise King, and who was recently captured in Salt Lake City, has waved extradiction. He will be taken to Nelson and when the spring assizes come on he will be tried at Greenwood on the charge of murder. BOARD OF TRADE MEETING. The Board of Trade held a special meeting last night to consider the request to donate a sum of money to Fire Brigade to assist in purchasing a bell for fire alarm and other purposes. The meeting got down to business without delay and Mr. Waterman's motion to donate $50 for this purpose was passed unanimously, and one of the most businesslike meetings in the Board's history came to an end. OBITUARY. The death took place last Wednesday of Emil Rasmus, brother of Mrs. Chas. Burch, caused by a hemorrhage of the lungs. The deceased who was in the prime of life had been a resident of this district for about three years and was employed at Mr. Burch's sawmill on One- Mile. The funeral took place on Friday, afternoon and was largely attended. In the absence of a minister Dr. Schon* read the English church burial service. —-—'—*- THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR February 12 1908 t> //r The Similkameen Star B. STONE KENNEDY Editor and Proprietor.

POLITICAL, BOMB EXPLODED. Continued from page 1. tice to the course we have alwaye pursued here I am compelled to crave the indulg ence of the House while I £.ive it a little inside history. By relating a few facts concerning the question it will immediately be apparent that neither Premier McBride uor his Attorney-General, Mr, Bowser, have been either frank or sin cere in their attitude on this question as they have been neither frank nor sincere in connection with many other questions of a public nature. "As is pointed out in the excellent report of McKenzie King, the origin of the influx of Japanese into the province of British Columbia during 1907 began with the advent of Sauri Gotoh. This gentleman had a wide experience in supplying labor to American railways'. He had furnished men to the Oregon Short Line, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Northern Pacific. In 1901 he came from Tacoma to Vancouver and established a connection with the Canadian Pacific. He succeeded in effecting an agreement with that company similar to the agreement between railway companies and Japanese contractors across the line. The agreement was prepared by Bowser between Gotoh and the Canadian Pacific. Mr. Bowser was then acting for Gotoh. This agreement was renewed from time to time until finally in December, 1906, Gotoh organized the Canadian Nippon Supply Company, Limited, and a similar : agreement to that prepared bs Bowser was entered into between the Canadian Nippon Supply Company and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and also the Wellington colliery Co. As I want the House to be in possession of the nature of this agreemen, I am going to i$r':*'fl place it on Hansard." £ Mr. Ross then read the agreement and i: ■:.*•'■' continued: "I want the House also to keep in mind .that Gotoh was the client of W. J. Bowser and ihat W. J. Bowser prepared . that original agreement. The general provincial elections were held in the province of British Columbia on the 2nd Rye-jj day of February, 1997, and on the evening of the first day of February, 1907, W. J. Bowser, who was one of the Conservative members in the city of Vancouver, and who was running for re-election, delivered a speech in the city of Victoria ■'''which is reported in the Victoria Daily - Colonist of the morning of- February 2nd. as follows: Here Mr. Ross read the report. The same information is contained in the front page article of the Vancouver Province, published on the evening of the 1st of February. I also want to place this article on Hansard with its flaming headlines. It reads as follows: Here the report from the above paper was given headidg and all. "The Province of the same evening has an editorial in which it commends W. J. Bowser for drawing the attention of the public to the efforts of the McBride Government to prevent the influx of cheap Japanese labor into this country. He was also commended for further warning the puhlic regarding a contract entered into by the Grand Trunk Pacific for a supply of Japance labor, and the Province intimated 'this contract would be made effective if the McBride Government were defeated and the Liberals returned to power.' "The editorial of the Province concludes in the following words: 'Mr. Bowser's warning therefore to the people of British Columbia who do not want the province swamped with cheap labor is worthp of most serious consideration.' "The people of Canada were subsequently made aware of the strong position taken by the people of Vancouver in regard to this question, and wheu the Province's article appeared on the evening before election with its wealth of detail, giving particulars of this contract, telling them about Gotoh betng in Japan for the purpose of carrying out the con ditions of this contract, it would have been absolutely impossible to have elected the angel Gabriel in the city of Vancouver in view of the information contained in that article. It would have been equally impossible to have secured at that time any evidence strong enough to counteract the effects of this alticle before the election look place on the day immediately following the publication of this article. The result was that the Liberal party did not carry a single seat in Vancouver, although up to the time this article was published it was confidently expected by Liberals that they would carry the five seats in Vancouver, and prominent Conservatives admitted that at least three Liberals would have been elected. Wherever the Province got this information, so far as the G. T. P. railway was concerned, the report of McKenzie King conclusively proves that there was not a shadow of a vestage of truth in the statement of the Province. "The report of the Colonist states that details of this information was giyen by W. J. Bowser in a speech delivered in the city of Vancouver. The Vancouver Proviuce is the organ of the Canadian Pacific Railway, a corporation which had entered into a contract which Gotoh or the Canadian Nippon Suppty Co. for Japanese labor. The agreement entered into was prepared by W. J. Bowser. LOCAL AND GENERAL. Public wCrship will be conducted Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m., in the court house, by Rev. T- T. Conn.
