Apricots, Large and Luscious, Figs and Common Fruits Grow in Profusion. . Mr. and Mrs. D. Gillespie, of Okanagan Falls, their daughters Ethel, Nellie, Mrs. Lawrence and daughter Thelma and A. B. Lawrence were at the Great North em on Sunday. Excepting Mr. Gilles pie none of the party had seen Prince ton before although they had read of its beauty and great surrounding mineral resomces. The town surpassed their expectations—it seemed so cosy and roomy compared with other places located in narrow defiles with mountains all around. Mr. Gillespie located at Okanagan Falls tome eight or nine years ago on what was then thought to be a starvation ranch. Illustrative of his and his wife's good judgment and their combined industry that ranch with some adjoining acreage purchased will soon be sold for $18,000, Io Mr. Ritchie of Summerland. The fruit yield this year is abundant. Mrs. Gillespie gathered apricots this season so large that they could not be put in a Gem fruit jar whole. Sub-tropical fruits are grown in this section, Y. C. Kitely pro ducing matured figs from his fine orchard. Rev. Jas. Lang, formerly of Princeton, recently sold his ranch near the Falls for $12,000. it probably cost him about $2,000 six years ago. Mr. Gillespie has cattle and horses of thoroughbred stock which he is desirous of acquiring pasturage for The hills and valley., about Prince'on look inviting to him and lie may locate here. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence reside at Taanich, V.I., their ranch there being valued at $12,000, for which S5 000 was paid. It will be seen that the Similkameen is a. good country to settle in, its fruit being equal to the best in the world and its climate paradisical. SUPERINTENDENT COMING. A personal letter to the Star from C. S. Stevens, Superintendent of the Dominion telephone line, states that he will be in Princeton soon on official business. Like all public servants who do not take pains to give the people efficient service he has been subject to much 'higher' criticism. He is perfectly competent to manage the line, but from some unknown but surmised cause, he seems to have lapsed into a deep unconcern and let things go as they would. It is believed that Mr. Stevens will only last through this political campaign as a hard working Liberal booster has been spotted for his job if the Grits should be returned, if not i a Penticton Tory is looked, upon with 'avor. Wherever the blame rests for the serious condition of telephone matters it is necessary for the people, who own the line, to know who should be punished and a full expose made. Perhaps Mr. Stevens would give the board of trade a talk on recent events here. Both he and Mr. Ross would have had a better tale to tell had their visits been oftener this way. SETTLERS WANT ROAD. The Star is in receipt of a letter from "Settler" at White Lake, in which he complains that he cannot get any newspaper to print his grievances as they are all friendly to Mr. Shatford, M.P.P., whom he feems to think a great offender. The sum of the letter <"s that Mr. Shatford, accqrding to "'Settler," promised in the fall of 1906 that a road should be built to connect Maroon Valley with the Keremeos road, for which an appropriation of $300 was made, of which only $120 has been spent up to date. The road will cost $2,500 to build", and will save a day in a trip to the Keremeos market. "Settler" has a grievance and, no doubt, like all other grievances that are well founded it will be rectified in due time. Legitimate and continuous agitation will do the trick. TOWN AND DISTRICT. Labor Day falling on Mondav last board of trade will meet next Monday. Full attendance requested to discuss matters pertaining to health, &c. Large number of celebrators went to Hedley for Labor Day snorts. The weather was ideal. The Star engaged a special reporter for the occasion but up to the time of going to press not a scrap nor a whisper was received. It may be he got a sunstroke, or bit with a rattler, or most likely he was "taken sick to his stomach" at the way the Nighthawkers did things. The news will keep anyway till next issue and thus spread the excitement out a little. R. B. Dickson returned home from the Royal Columbian Hospital where he has been undergoing surgical treatment. He speaki in high terms of praise of Drs. Rothwell and Hall, his attending surgeons, and also of the institution. His neighbors and friends will be glad to know of his convalescence after a hard siege of illness. Mr. Dickson is accompanied by his brother, of Sunderland, England. J. B. Haddad, the well known watchmaker and jeweller, whose periodical visits here are much appreciated by patrons, arrived on last Wednesday's stage. Consult him about your jewellery and watch, Office and repair works in the French fruit and pool rooms, Bridge St. J. O. Coulthard has begun his new residence, 24x52, W. Thomas, contractor. ANNUAL INSPECTION Managing-Director of Vermilion Forks Co. on his Yearly Tour. Business Depression in Old Country Attributed to Socialistic Ideas of Cabinet. Managing-director A. Hickling of the Vermilion Forks Mining and Development Co. arrived in town last Saturday on his annual tour of inspection. While in Rossland he was interviewed by the Miner, which is as follows : "ArthurHickling, the well known capitalist, is in the city and will be here for the next week, after which he will go to Princeton to look after his collieries and other interests there. He arrived in New York from London six week's since and in the interim has visited St. Paul, Minneapolis, Minn., London, Ont., and other places. In speaking of conditions in the Old Country he said that the people over there have been giving themselves up to events of different kinds and to enjoying themselves. There has been a succession of interesting affairs, including the Pan- Anglican Synod, he said, which drew churchmen from many portions of the world. The horse show this year was the most successful ever held. "Then we had the entente cordiale, otherwise known as the French exhibit, which drew immensely and was a great success, to say nothing of the Marathon games and traces which caused the assembling of immensely large audiences and in which athletes from a number of the leading .countries participated. "How about business? There is nothing doing much, nor will there be until the present Socialistic government of Great Britain has been retired. The people have no confidence in it. As a result there is a dearth of new investments and it is difficult to launch the most promising enterprises. Say a man intends to invest-in breweries, which are among the best paying form of industrial enterprises. He now hesitates about parting with his cash for brewery shares, and for the reason that he fears that the present government may take a, notion to confiscate what he has invested in. Of course there is the house of lords, which is not socialistic and which is a safeguard. Everybody, apparently, is against the government, and in the by elections the government is losing, even constituencies that have been Liberal for many years, and it should not be a great while before the present government is retired. Speaking about railway conditions in the Similkameen section, Mr. Hickling stated that the Great Northern branch which is being extended into that section is making rather slow progress. The 25 miles between Keremeos and Hedlev has been graded and now the graders are engaged on the 25-mile stretch that separates Hedley and Princeton. Owing to the difficulty experienced in handling the tracklaying machine it has been concluded to not use it on the 25 miles between Keremeos and Hedley but to wait until it cau be employed to put down the steel on the 50 miles between Keremeos and Princeton. Just as soon as the road is completed to Princeton Mr. Hickling' and his associates will begin outputting coal from the collieries of the Vermilion Forks Mining and Development Company. The coal is excellent for household and steam making purposes and it is anticipated that there will be a large quantitv of it ma-keted on both sides of the line. The Great Northern branch is being extended to a junction with the main' line at Wenatchee and Mr. Hick: ling expects that along this branch there will be a considerable market for the output of the Princeton collieries. It will also find markets in the Okanagan and Similkameen and in Rossland." THE CAMPAIGN IS ON. G. A. Harris, of the Vernon Okanagan, with his wife, was in town two days last week, leaving on Sundav for Nicola. He is a political scout and forerunner of the great Duncan of Woodgre*h. Mr. Harris is a gentleman of suave manner, at one time traveller for a balloon factory in Detroit, Mich., which accounts for the gas quite noticeable in his conversation,, then he descended to newspaper work and now he is on the road again soliciting for the firm of Laurier & Co., who- are selling off stock as they expect to go- out of business about Nov. 3. Mr. Har ris talked volubly but asked not to be- quoted in the Star. A " GREAT " MAN. Duncan Ross, M.P., is a great statesman and telephone manager; a sort of two in one. He won't give the Howse Co. telephone connection because a member of it huffed him a little once. That is pin-head politics and shallow statecraft rolled into downright meanness. More telephoue revenue is derived from the Howse Co. than any other bnsiness house in town. Yet their phone is cut off the main line. There are some good. Liberals in the Co. and in its emplov and Mr. Ross disgusts them by refusing to give phone connection. And yet we are told this great man expects to be premier of Canada. Ye gods ! what gall ! C. P. Charleton, of the A. E. Howse Co., Nicola, was a passenger by the Nicola stage last week. He will be located here for some considerable time and is a prominent acquisition to the baseball club.

RE PUBLIC TELEPHONE. • The Star is in receipt of a letter, as under, from C. S. Stevens, superintendent of the telephone line, regarding the recent, appointment of telephone agent here. ' Space is gladly given it. Reference in the letter is made to an article in the Star, which is also published, so .that the reader may make his own comparisons, form his own cbnclu-, sions and make his own deductions. With that loyalty for one another notorious among government em ployees when one of their number is under public judgment or censure the superintendent comes, nodoubt, upon request, to the relief of his beleaguered agent. May not Mr. Stevens be actuated by the idea that owing to his own unpopularity and poor management he, too, will sooner or later require stout defence? If he be too vain or bumptious to call in aid he would, at least, like to see a few mourners around on the day of his official execution and • funeral. In any case it would smooth the way to his self dug grave if all his., agents would burn the incense of eulogy to stifle the ■odor of his deeds. Panegyric- squibs of Mr Stevens will be given generous space in the Star. Now for his kind letter : Editor Star—Sir : A copy of your issue of Aug. 26th has come into my hands and I note upon your front page, under caption "Public Telephone at last," you have something to say relative to the appointment of Mr. Bell as agent, and note you have a veiled suggestion that WHII.E Mr. Bell, was President of the Board of Trade, endorsing the appointment of that body's re commendation, he had accepted the agency himself. I feel that I should take some notice of this statement, and by so doing clear Mr. Bell of any such imputation. As soon as I received the recommendation' of Mr Bell as agent I started my men at once to install the agency, not even waiting for a mail by which I could advise Mr. Bell of his appointment. He therefore knew nothing of his appointment until my men arrived, bearing the letter conveying the information. 1 will not be thought to be divulging private corre spondence If .1 tell you that at this mo ment I have upon my table a letter from Mr. Bell, asking if something cannot be ■done to follow out the wishes of the Board of Trade and have the agency transferred to Mr. Avery. Personally I have no choice in the matter, as they are both strangers to me. This office will see to clearing its own skirts when the proper time comes, in so far as the closing of the office at Princeton is concerned, and I have no doubt that Dnncan Ross, M.P., is quite capa ble of defending himself when the occasion arises. I am not in the habit '-f taking note of any criticism of thts department made through the press, but I felt that you were wronging Mr. Bell in the eyes of the people of your community should an explanation from me be not forthcoming. I hope you will give this letter the same publicity as you did the article in question. Faithfully yours, Chas. S. Stevens, Superintendent. Summerland, Aug. 31, 1908. The article containing the 'veiled suggestion,' so called by Mr. Stevens, is printed below. The Star was, and is, of opinion that the article referred to was the most unveiled, plain piece of English it had penned in many months. It is an old truism that if you want to discover malice where there is none a "tool" full of suspicion and falsity must be employed. It is sur-, prising that Mr. Stevens should lend himself to any such ignominious purpose. But here is the article : "Public Telephone at last: At last— fruit of the agitation begun some months ago for a public telephone was observed by the placing of a phone in the store of A. Bell, agent, last Saturday by Dominion government employees sent from Hedley, thus ending a senseless delay. A public telephone should have been given Princeton long ago. It would have saved a lot of inconvenience to those having urgent business to transact. The shabby, ungentlemanly treatment of the board of trade by D. Ross, M.P., in ignoring its recommendation of an agent after the board had been requested to make one AND THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGENCY BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD WHO LOVINGLY ENDORSED THE BOARD'S APPOINTEE, are matters now in the limelight of conversation and disapproval." |rfj^ The President did accept the agency and the President did unreservedly support, the motion of Messrs. Waterman and Hall endorsing and recommending to Duncan Ross, M.P., H. H. Avery, jr., for agent. The President does not deny those two emphatic, unveiled statements. There are many witnesses to corroborate them. Now Mr. Stevens kindly show the public where the 'veiled suggestion' lies in the above. Can any of your employees show it, can any three sensible men in the district show it, can any court or tribunal show it ? They cannot, because there* is nothing veiled. There is no wrong imputed or intended toward any man. It is fact told in the plainest, unvarnished English. But you, Stevens, take two definite statements of fact, distort them and read into them malice, envy and deception. O, perverter of truth Kinsman of Munchausen ! No wonder the Saturday Sunset flayed you recently in such scathing terms A " superintendent " without authority to select an agent. A mere tool for Ross and his ilk. No self respecting person would have the job without full authority. Mr. Stevens says he can clear his skirts—that will be believed when it is done. Meantime, as champion and defender, will he tell the public why it is that his agent here, though professing in words a desire to have the telephone agency transferred to Mr. Avery, yet by his actions tenaciously hangs onto the job? Actions speak louder than words, as all the world knows. Why does he not resign ? There is no law, ancient or modern, to make him keep it if ho does not want to. Please explain, Mr. Stevens, this inconsistency of action and word. Analyze it, if you will. And here let it be said that the postmaster cannot be 'fired' if he pitches the telephone out of his office. The P. O. inspector and other authorities have stated that a postmaster can only be dismissed on the substantiated charges of dis honesty, incompetency and political partizanship—tbe present incumbent is not an offender in any of these. While Mr. S. is pulling abovt acorns out of the fire, will he or any one of his employees point to a single utterance in the Star under its present manager, where the telephone agent now, or at any time, has been "wronged" by it. Mr. Avery is the person wronged. He is the rightful appointee and has a private apartment for the tele phone. The statement is made that he is a Tory and therefore should not fill a small, picayune Liberal billet. Tories had it before. But Mr. Avery, jr., is not long of voting age, and has never been identified with any -party. The stupid Liberal heelers had an opportunity to make a good Grit of.him but the "dose" he gotfrom them is not likely to make him enroll under their banner. It is the duty of a public journal to stand between the people and imposition and expose it—the Star will continue to do this without fear or favor. It invites Mr. Stevens or any of his employees to reply. The Star is in possession of a mass of correspondence relating to telephone and other matters which it will publish if occasion requires. Brief letters are invited. FOR SALE. Lot 4, Block Four ; Lots 8, 9 and 10 Block One. Price, $500 Cash. Adddress : M. M. POWERS, U*^ " Vancouver, B.C. A.
