Dkavek 160 PENTICTON, - - B. C,: P. W. GREGORY CIVIL ENGINEER and BRITISH COLUMBIA LAND SURVEYOR Star Building Princeton It is just about a year since the first sod or rather the'first rock was turned on the Similkameen Waterworks Company's power plant and with a reasonable break of luck the big job should be completed in all except minor details by the end of December. The dam is complete in every essential except the stop logs which require" another three week's work yet. The flume proper is finished as far as water carrying capacity is concerned. A little more planking may be done on the sides but this is immaterial for the present needs at least. The bottom which has been completed for some time is laid on a bed that would carry a railroad and hits been proven by actual test to be tight as a drumhead. Not much is done on the big forebay as yet, it being a comparatively simple job which is not greatly subject to weather ��������� conditions. . The strategic point at present seems to be the foundation of the power honse,' and everp effort is being-inade to'get' the cement work done before the frost sets in. In spite of the difficulties encountered in an extremely pervious stratum, of gravel which is causing excessive flooding of excavations at the power house, there seems to be excellent prospects of the important parts of the work being finished under favorable weather conditions. Contrary to the statement, published some time ago in these columns on the best authority in the camp, the power house, with, the exception of the foundation, will be a frame structure with the . heav y_ _m ac.h i nej-y.; Li-.esJ-in gX -Oji^sojich monoliths of cement. Power isinow being transmitted, from the old powerhouse to the site of the nevy: and as as the work, which was going along prettily steadily before, !is now. being facilitated by the use of "juice",,prospects look - bright for its being - completed in schedule time and wirhin the original estimates. SCHOOL AT THE NICKEL PLATE a Fair Deal. COMING INTO OUR OWN Kiddies at the Mine G-et i Once more the Nickel Plate is to have a school of its own. In the early days of the camp theii> was quite a flourishing little institution at the top, but most' of the families moved to town and the attend-incc fell below the minimum required by the Educational Department, with the usual result of closure. Some three weeks ago .when Inspector Anstey was making his semiannual rounds in the Similkameen he paid a flying visit to . Nickel Plate camp' for the purpose of examining conditions at the mine' with a view to re-establishing o school there. At the time Mr.-Anstey intimated to the Gazette that, there were excellent prospects for the opening ,of the school; iind we are pleased to note that a very material corboration of his words has begun to appear during the past week in the form of maps, books and other- supplies billed through to the Nickel Plate. The school is evidently to be a reality, and that at no very distant date. Applications for'the position of teacher are already' rolling in and as soon as suitable accommodation' can be arranged for theel Issesj work will begin with an initial.1 attendance of ten. This will doubtless increase when men with growing families realize that ibis no longer a ;choice between working riown in town or leaving their children untaught.

Lyon It's A Long, Long Way to Tipperary Band The mining activities in the vicinity of the 23-Mile make -dt necessary that immediate steps be taken to put the trail in shape, as tbe benefits for Hope velopments are mutual. A large quantity of ore is ready at the .Rainbow Camp, awaiting shipment and G. H. Brown already has eight pack horses -oiiguged-Lhis ~week~brihgingrit out to Hope for transfer to the smelter. A cable is being stretched from the big workings about 700 feet up the side of the mountain to the trail below which will facilitate the handling of the ore to a nicety. The showing at this working commended with a two- inch, vein on the surface .and is now opened up to a depth of twenty feet with a showing six feet wide, thirty feet from the.face, all uncovered and with every indication of still greater showing as developments proceed.-��������� West Yale Review. This week .ten inches of clean ore was uncovered in- the face, of the incline drift on the California mine. Alex. Ferguson, who brought the news to town says the vein is clean galena, and is widening as development proceeds. The California is at present under lease to J. O. Winter and Martin Jacobson. They decided to throw up the lease a couple of weeks ago, but friends in town persuaded theni to continue, with the probable result that they will pull out with enough money to take life easy. Some years ago Martin Jacobson and A. O. Ostby netted about $10,000 from a. lease on the California. It is to be hoped that this lease will prove equally profitable, and the chances ai e that it will be more so.���������Slocan Record. With the advent of adequate railway facilities southern B. u. w'll surely come into its own, and the linking up of the Boundary valleys begins to be an immediate reality. At Hope the Canadian Bridge Company have got the big K. V. R. j-ridge well under way and large quantities of steel are being unloaded daily on the grade. In spite of earlier rumors to tlie contrary it appears- that with a fair share of luck the K.V. will get into Princeton this year, as the bridge at One Mile creek is already under way. Just what this will mean to the Similkameen can best -be gathered from Vice-President Bury's, remarks when he visited Penticton last week. In reply to the question of the southern route becoming a second main line, as it were, Mr. Bury's reply-was direct and unequivocal. "People here", said he. "should not get the idea that this is to become the main line. The C. P. R. would not spend a fortune on the Rogers Pass tunnel if it ever intended to divert its main line traffic. Under no present known conditions will this line become the company's main line through B. C:, although it will certainly be'an important scenic route, and also avaluable short line to the coast and prairies for tbe transportation of fruit, timber and coal." It is already- an open secret that the So'o Line which is controlled by the C.P.R. will operate its trains over the southern tricks instead of running over the main line. This fact coupled with the knowledge that the same Co. is planning to embark on an extensive advertising campaign at the Panama Pacific Exposition to attract visitors to the Boundary route and supported by Mr. Bury's words, gives a pretty fair indication of the part the new Jines -willxplay in .the: -economic.-life of; southern British Columbia. ---'-. -s Farewell Hop for Mr. Pollock���������Merrill Trophy Presented *' PRINCETON PICKINGS Tbe last act of tbe Merrill Oupdrama was staged,on Friday evening when a select little dance was given by the Golf Club and the trophy presented to this year's title holder, Mr. W. K. Pollock. Though the dance was gotten up on rather short notice, those who were present agree that it was the blue ribbon 'event i.f the season. The evening was ideal, the floor excellent and the. music, the kind that gets into your feet. About midnigbt a halt was called in the festivities for supper, immediately after which the real business of the evening took placein the presentation of the Merrill Cup by President G. P. Jones of the Golf Club, The cup was accompanied by a neat .-peerh fiom Mr. Jones who look the opportunity of bidding Mr, Pollock farewell on behalf of the club and extending to him their best wishes for lu-ightest* success in his new field of endeavor. In a brief humorous speech of acceptance in which, he explained that his Caledonian ancestry prevented any*, prodigality of words'on his part, Mr. Pollock thanked his entertainers, as good sports and better friends. After due congratulations to the' new title holder- the .dance went on till the roosters began to sing their matins. A PREMIER HIKER Dr. Dawson of Perth on the Last Lap of His Long Tramp. Alfred Coles who made such a success in the Pierrot Troupe which played in Hedley last spring has now returned from Quebec, where ho went after the sad loss of Mrs. Ooles in the Empress of Ireland disaster. He will spend the winter at Princeton. He reports that the fort and town of Que- becare very seriously effected by war conditions, so many vessels being tied up; They anticipate some pretty hard times this winter.

Dr. Daw-son' was in Enderby last week, for a day or two, and on Friday evening lectured on his travels by foot around the world. From Enderby, Dr. Dawson walked to Salmon Arm on his way to the coast. At Victoria he will be the guest of Sir Richard McBride. After lecturing at the coast cities he will take a boat for his Australian home. He will be in citis, He is still to weak to undergo an operation.

P. R. has been excavated. On October 26th, 501-t feet had been excavated out of the pioneer bore, a small passage running parallel to the main tunnel from the western portal. Rapid progress is being made with the main tunnel, which is designed for double track traffic. The main heading has been widened out to its full width, 2373 feet from the eastern end of operations and 1250 feet from the tlie western entrance.

The Sitnilknmeen Hotel has found it necessary to put 25 electric lights along the front to guide prospective patrons. A week or two ago all the business men in Princeton looked weary and depressed and even the store windows looked dull. Now their smiles make even the face of "Old Sol" look sick. The continuation of work on the K. V.R. makes all the differeuce. A large number of men will bo employed close into town grading from the headquarter camp near the cement plant to the joint depot in town. In spite of the general depression business looks good for the winter. God Save The King east end. A solution of the problem of what to do with the unemployed might be found in placer mining along the Lar- do river, if conditions next summer show no improvement over what exists at the present time. It is said on reliable authority that as high as $5 per day has been made by "panning" along the banks of the stre-.im that flows into tlie north end of the lake, but in ordinary flush times this is not considered a fair return for the unpleasant nature of the work. No doubt the owners of large leases of placer ground would favorably consider the sub-ieasing of small areas to individuals on a royalty basis, as this method would serve to help prospect the ground.���������Kootenain. iau sporting club. He 'must pack on his back the S-L pound pack he has carried in his seventy-thousand mile walk *)f the past ten years. Dr. Dawson landed in Australia when the gang plank was run out upon the ground floor. He had -������20 in his pocket. Getting in on tbe ground floor enabled him to get in "right", and when he left Perth on his walk around the woi Id ten years ago, he was reputed to be worth ,������150,000. And he has not been permitted to touch a cent of his own money since. With all this cash at home, and with all the pleasures and comforts that that cash could buy tossed over his head, Dr. Dawson has trudged the world over with an Si-pound pack upon his back, living like a tramp: oltiines with little or nothing to eat for days at a time, and sleeping anyplace he could lay his head. What for ? Ask Dr. Dawson. He knows, but he will not tell. But if you are a true enough sport yourself you will be able to guess. And if you cannot guess, it wouldn't do any good to tell you. But, primarily, it was not fertile $25,000. "Dr. Dawson is a marvelous man. To appreciate him one must "meet" him. The sterling qualities of a true sport of an Englishman fairly bubble out of every nook and cranny of bis- hoofing. t, Til 13 HEDLEY GAZE1TE NOV 12, 10U- &e Kites (tett $ and Similkameen Advertiser.

One of these is H. XV. Power of the Kaslo Kootenaian. A couple of weeks' ago, in a moment of special inspiration, Brother Power delivered himself of a pithy little curtain lecture which ran somewhat as follows, "Some people seem to feel quite peeved because the Kootenaian has actually stalled to put its subscription lists on a cash basis, and wants to see the color of every subscriber's money. Horrible! But the same people pay railway fare, club fees, various dues of one kind or ' another, drinks at. the bar, etc., etc., '.', in advance; so why raise a howl when the local paper gets up enough back- ��������� bone to make sure of getting what is coming to it? Further, it may as well be.noted that the Rootenaiaii intends to follow this principle hereafter and, if it is unable to do so it will shut up shop." Hats off to you, Brother Power. May the bailiff never get you. The Gazette wishes to rise up and call you blessed while the calling is good. On principle, we buy everything we need -at home because our interests are here: because a community that is good enough to live in is good enough to b'.iy in; because every dollar we spend at home gets up and goes to work in our own town, not somewhere else: because we believe in teamwork and, as tlie man we buy from helps to support our churches, schools and public utilities, all community efforts means one shot for ourselves and two for our home town. On principle we believe in paying our way as we go; because, on the face of it, it is cheaper and, in the long run, the man who makes you pay up is your best friend, while the man who overloads you with credit (wholesale or retail) is your worst business enemy; because the credit system, used, makes business, buoy ant and elastic���������abused, it makes business rotten to the core. It is usually ���������abused to tbe extent of being a positive curse to.the community.

Given time and decent treatment, it may well become the piido of the. family. We need an orchestra: and effort is being made to give us ond: and, on the grounds of good citizenship, we should support it so long as it gives us any adequate re turns for our money. But there's the rub, Tbe orchestra if charging professional prices for amateurish music; or has.done so up to lhe present. Individually the price may not be excessive; but, in the aggiegate, it is altogether to much to be even considered in view of the services rendered. "Piling on all Lhe traffic will bear" may bu a good policy for railroads but in a small community it means sudden death and hasty burial to any enter- prize whose piime asset is public goodwill. ... Anyone ran dust the bearings with eiueiy: anyone can say hard, cruel, bitter things; but it takes a full sized man to be generous. The situation is most regrettable, not only on.account of the . unpleasantness it causes ^at home, but because .of the rather false position in which it.places our talented friends from elsewhere, who have helped us so -generously in the past: and it is doubly regrettable because it is so wholly unnecessary. The key to the entire situation is a little frank explanation-"'between'-- the interested parties and a spirit of reasonable comprise on the part of both.
