G. R. B. Kinney, of the Hedley- Keremeos Methodist circuit, is a visitor to Princeton, forming new acquaintances and renewing old. Mr. Kinney, besides being a devoted and likable Christian gentleman, has hobbies the same as other mortals. One is to collect geological curios, of which he has a large and interesting assemblage; the other is to scale peaks. He is a sky pilot in a real sense, having approached the heavens nearer than most people. Mr. Kinney son, (16,000 ft. ?) and has covered many o.her peaks. Like the rest of us, he has yet to climb Parnassus and woo the m lses, but if he attempts it he will sure ',et there.' He is still a nice young bachelor with a longing for home life. OBITUABY. The funeral of the late Mrs-Summers was held yesterday, a large number of friends attending at the house and joining in the cortege to the cemetery on the hill. The deceased had been a long sufferer from cancer and the end was not unexpected, coming at 6 o'clock Monday mo mng. She was born in England 62 years ago and leaves two sons and three daughters, who have the sincere sympathy of the whole commiinity. Deceased wajofa lovable personality, endearing herself to all acquainted with her during her sojourn here. 6EEAT STORM ALL OVEE. Stops Trains and Stages: Causes much jit Hardship and Delay. TtteN ttage due from Nicola last Wednesday has been cancelled. It is extremely doubtful if the stage due today will arrive on time G. B^ Armstrong, the Merritt postmaster and general merchant, was in town last week on a business visit, coming via che Nicola trunk road. He had an adventurous trip, dne to the great storm of" the 27th ult., antijvag fjyp dayg making a journey whichusually occupies less than two. When he left home there was no sign of storm and mounted on a fine saddle horse the trip promised pleasure and comfort. Not so, however, for the wind arose, the snow fell. the trees cracked and danger lurked at every curve and declivity. Mr Armstrong reached Jack Thynne's weary and worn toward midnight. The storm continued. Mr. Armstrong could neither advance nor retreat, nor could he wire for assistance, the telephone line being buried and out of commission. He wrapped his feet in gunny- sacks (improvised saowshoes) and started for Princeton. The struggle of and for his life then began. When he reached Otter Flat he was 'all in.' The stage brought him down and after the usual inward remedies had been copiously applied he was soon able to talk politics and business. The force and effect of the great storm did not reach Princeton directly, but the absence of mails for nearly a week told only too well of damage and delay. The Great Northern's western system is seriously deranged by flood and storm. The daily express to Princeton was cancelled last Saturday, but turned up on Sunday with a big mail and a lot of passengers. RAILWAY RUMBLINGS Good Progress Made All Along the Line—Snow and Frost to Combat. Oroville-Penticton Line to Build and C.P.R. Too—Tunnel will be Rushed Ahead. Railroad contractors are making good progress with the preliminary work of building camps and laying down supplies. Good roads have favored hauling rails and equipment for construction. There is snow all along the line, which delays earth work, rock and tunnel contracts being least effected Once the ground is in condition for pick and shovel use 800 men will be employed on the 18 miles under contract. Prsss statements, outside, have been given currency to the effect that the 18 miles would be completed by July 1st.. Practical men do not give much credence to this statement. It is known, however, that the Great Northern is urging the work along with all speed. The work is heavy and difficult, with three or four bridges and two tunnels. If the locomotive reaches Welldo station, 10 miles west of Princeton, by the first of November, it will be good going. Th«>following sub-coutractors are at F. Wilson, 3 miles ; W: McPhee, mile ; Jas. Welch, 3 miles ; Madden & Hankinson, 4 miles. The remaining portion is soon to be sublet if not already so The Oroville-Penticton line is being located-by Engineer Russell. This line is^bout 40 miles in length, and it is said will be built this year, as it is comparatively easy building. In the two weeks that have passed since the steam shovel_ began r>n jhr approach to the tunnel in the western suburbs of thefow2 a large amount of earth has been removed, which is beiug used to reclaim overflown ground. The tunnel proper is_i050 feet long and will take at least four months to complete working full time from both ends. It is a matter of general report that the C.P.R. will begin construction over Hope mountains, via Coquihalla pass, this year. .- WRITER IS BROAD-VIEWED. Frank Bailey of Merritt recently published an informative letter in the Merritt Herald containing some kindly references to Princeton. Mr. Bailey is broadminded enough to praise other towns, although his interests are centred more particularly in another section. It is such generosity that counts in welding the human family into a compact whole instead of which one often sees the seeds of strife and discord sown between towns I and district. While it would not be cor-, rect to describe Mr. Bailey as an evangelist yet he may be said to be a missionary spreading the gospel of good will and harmonv. JKEW PAPER AT MERRITT. The Nicola Valley News, published at Merritt, is the latest journalistic enterprise received and added to our exchange list. It is Conservative in politics and booster in principle. It looks healthy and bids fair to stay. Two newspapers m a town the size of Merritt must lead to awful competition and we look forward to a war of annihilation and the survival of the fittest. Keep the hatchet well buried, brethren, and elevate the flaming torch of knowledge so that its light will penetrate the darkest mind. The News is neat in appearance and its matter well chosen. LOCAL AND GENERAL. Weather Mild and Spring is Coming with Old Crow. By the terms of the railway bills introduced in the provincial legislature both the Canadian Northern and Kettle Valley lines must make a good start this year. The Kettle Valley will build 25. miles. A lot of local and mining matter is crowded out of this week's issue. Hugh Cowan returned from the coast on Monday much improved in health. Luke Gibson returned last Saturday from the lower country, where he was engaged with Russell's railway survey party. Spring and the labor inseparable from a farm at this season of the year have caused his return. He reports little snow around Osoyoos but considerable zero weather. He beard the Princeton coal highly recommended by consumers at Oroville. Greenwood will have a new public building for postoffice and customs. The location is on the site of the Pioneer hotel, Government street and the total cost will be about $20,000. The Liberal association of Greenwood is at last rewarded for its agitation in this behalf. If they had not asked, they would not have received. J. Peterson, of Grand Forks, is a visitor to Princeton. At the Grand Lodge of the Orange Association held in Kamloops recently a political platform was adopted which will be published soon. Rev. R. J. Mc- Intyre is the new Grand Master and W. Brett is the Grand Secretary. There are 2105 lodges of the order in Canada with a membership of 700,000. • The total membership for the. empire is over two millions. Vancouver city ranks fifth in numerical strength. r nwpmnnpp THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR March 9, 1910. The Similkameen Star. J. M. Wright, SUBSCRIPTION RATE: One Year, - - ...

With the development contingent upon railway construction and fulfilment of the policy of the government there is no doubt that Finance Minister Bowser will have another very encouraging statement to make next year. . THE ESTIMATES FOR 1910-11.. It will be a pleasure to.every taxpayer in the province, and to those iu the Similkameen particularly, to read the budget speech of the Hon. W. J. Bowser, Minister of Finance. It is evident that the Premier, instead of losing, has rather gained/ in the resignation of his former finance minister. The minister was not only able to present dry facts in a lucid manner but he clothed his figures with an eloquence which smacked of the mighty Gladstone. As a first effort in presenting a budget Mr. Bowser has brought credit to the McBride ministry and fulfilled the high expectations of his political friends. With so favorable a beginning there is the happy augury of continuance and of even still greater achievements in -his direction of the financial affairs of this great and growing province. Of course B.C. is now riding on the crest of a wave of -prosperity and progress in common with all the western provinces. This is due io the development of the west from its raw state to the cultivated and producing stage. Development of a country is largely the result of a -policy having origin with the government and endorsed by the people. Mr. Bowser was' enabled to make a very favorable financial statement by reason of the development of the country. During the nir.e months from June 30, 1908 to March 31, 1909, the public debt has been reduced by £932,310. The surplus of net receipts, over expenditures during the same period has been $920,000, cr if carried out proportionately for the whole year would amount to $1,230,000. A very noteworthy- fact in connection with the estimates is the large increase in expenditure on public works. For the Similkameen electoral district some $20,000 in excess of last year's appropriation will be expended. None but the 'prejudiced, brain warped political partizan will try to to') Mr. Shatford of his full credit fir having obtained the magnificent sum stated. He has caused an outburst of applause from, not only ■ his supporters, but from others outside the pale of his party. 'Well done, Shatford,' is the brief but well deserved eulogium heard on . every side. lljjjS'Mr. Bowser has made a most satisfactory statement both as to APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED. In the allocation of money for roads and bridges due regard must be given to the necessities of the locality and the value to the community of the improvements contemplated. In the evolution of the Similkameen, first, was the pack trail and fords ; second, roads and bridges ; third, the railway. Some seven or eight roads and two or three trails now lead to Princeton from the various sections roundabout. All of these avenues of communication need more or less repairing In Princeton, where the Ashnola wagon road and Hope trail begin, there is urgent need for grading and improving this highway from its intersection witb the Copper mountain road. In the spring it is almost impassable with mud and mire and in the summer it is a miniature Sahara from which rise great volumes of dust to envelop passers by and the houses in their path. Whoever the government road superintendent maybe this year he will have this matter to report upon along with other detai'.s ot improvements. As the town is .unincorporated and still a ward of the government it has a legitimate right to a portion of the revenue collected from it. The need ol improvements will be felt more this year than at any other period of its existence, owing to the ,.general progress and commercial expansion consequent upon the arrival of the railway. A boost from the government now will enable Miss Princeton to put ou airs of independence all the sooner and thus relieve the government of its further care. Probably no division or section of the Similkameen- riding contributes more revenue than that of Princeton district. Approximately some $20,000 are annually derived from the timber, land, licenses, taxes aud mineral resources. It is no question for argument as to the amount of money to be refunded in appropriations. The broad principle has been established long ago that a new. country is entitled to all its revenue minus cost of government. Star now pleads earnestly for recognition of this principle in the appropriations to be made for this, section. Roads are required very much for Whipsaw, Friday Creek, Roche River, North Fork of Granite, Upper Tulameen, Summit and to the international boundary via the P. sayton river. As in the past reliance is placed on the good judgment of Mr. Shatford to do the 'right thing' with each section. Drink and Enjoy pill fieoi lifter SCIICSS jjjg I gfl None Better j P. Rithet & Co. .
