Evert Baker was in town last week\nfrom Copper mountain ^where he' is at\npresent developing the Colorado group.\nAssociated with him are Messrs. H. O,\nProebstel and Aug. Wolf, all three gentlemen being here to receive some American mining capitalists who are coming to\ninspect the Colorado group. Mr. Baker\nis enthusiastic oi-er the prospects of,the\nSimilkameen now that a railroad is building. He'thinks great activity in mining\nwill result from construction of the road\nand smelters will.then be practicable for\nthe first time in the existence of the Similkameen. He takes a keen interest in\nthe trials of the new double blast furnace\nfor smelting ore with coal instead of coke,\nthe present expensive method, and is of\nopinion that Princeton coal has the proper constituents for smelting with the\nraw article. He -thinks the circulation\nof a book of information of this country\nwould be of much benefit in-inducing\ncapital to turn hither. M-; Baker is a\nprominent citizen of Portland, Ore., is a\nlawyer with special training in mining\nand with his brother owns the Citizen's'\nbunk, one of the largest financial institutions in the northwest.\nLOCAL NEWS NOTES. '\nExcavation work for the brewery has\nbeen started and will be made to correspond with the storeys in the building\nwhich abuts the hill at the rear of Vermilion avenue. Work on the ice house\nwill begin soon and the main building\nwill follow right on.\nW. T. Heddle, representing W. H.\nMalkih & Co., wholesale grocers, Vancouver, was in town recently on his first\ntrip through the Similkameen. He is\none of the pioneers of commercial trav\nellers in the northwest territories. and\nB.C. and is keenly observant of the trend\nof progress in the west. He believes that\nPrinceton is right in the line 0\/ that pro\ngress, which is an unfailing sequence of\nrail communication.\nDan McKay had the misfortune to have\nhis leg'broken on Tuesday of last week\nwhile turning out for a passing wagon on\nthe Nicola road. It appears he jumped\nfrom his own vehicle to save a possible\nupset occasioned by the narrow roadway\nand fell with the result noted. His many\nfriends here wish him. speedy recovery.\nJ. Campbell,  druggist,  of Nelson, was\nin town last Saturday  for the purpose of\nlocating a drug business here.    He has a\n\/ stock on the road and it is understood he\nhas secured' a good business stand.    He\nis highly recommended   by those who\nhave known  him, for some years in Nel-\n. son.

Tne\nGreat Northern merely wanted dumping\nground for its waste tunnel rock for\nwhich it was willing to pay. The C.P.R.\nhurled back the money proffered and defiantly forbade trespass..\nThe V..V.&; E. charter carries with it\nDominion expropriation rights and all\nthe Great Northern has to do is to put the\nmachinery of the law in motion, which\nmeans delay on the tunnel until a court\norder isrissu'ed.

The guild is\nactive in church work, the proceeds of\ntheir endeavors, it is understood,'being\ndevoted to a church building fund. The\nrendition of the farce \"Ici on parleFran-\ncais\" did credit to all the performers, the\nburden of the play falling upon Dr.\nSchon and E. Waterman. Both gentlemen portrayed their characters with ' ad\nmirable naturalness and finished enunciation, all of the cast giving entire satisfaction and evident pleasure to the audience. At the close of the performance\na;dance and supper was given, to which '\nmany present remained and enjoyed. :'\nPIONEERS OF MifING\nProspectors and Gold Hunters\nRank Among the Best of\nNature's Nobility.\nCommunity of Interests and Generous\nHearts Worked out Problem of\n:\u25a0' -     True Socialism.\nEditor Star\u2014Sir: It has failen. to\nmy lot, more than to most men, to cpme\ninto contact and mingle with many of the\nplacer miners and prospectors of the\n\"Great West,\" and in my poor way I.desire to pay a small tribute to a class of\nmen who have done so much for human\nprogress and. happiness;\u2014a remarkable\nbody of men who are fast passing away.\nWherever found, whether in the sunny\nsouth, the golden shores of the Pacific,\nAustralia, the frozen north 'in British\n:Columbia, on the Fraser or in Cariboo,\n^they will rank among the best the new\n\u2022world has produced.\nGreat environments produce great men\nand theirs was great and grand. They\npossessed to an unusual degree most of\nthe attributes of greatness\u2014they were\ngood, for no race, or man, can be truly\ngreat without being good. They came\nnearer to \"a true solution of the social\nand industrial problems than any other\nbody of men. They travelled close to\nthe ideal community of which the best\nthinkers of our age hope.for ; but a .hope\nalways implies a doubt. They did not\ntalk of simple life, but lived it. The inborn spirit of freedom in its best sense\nwas in them and prompted them to good\nthoughts and acts. They were rough\ndiamonds and , no man could overthrow\ntheir homely logic; They came from all\nclasses of society and did not need'the\nembellishments of scholars to make.them\nbright, their ;life and nature did more.\nColleges often polish brickbats and\ndim diamonds. These prospectors' eyes\ncontinually feasted upon things that were\nbroad, simple and grand, which made\nthem so. The intelligent eye cannot- long\nlook upon oceans, rivers, mountains,\nplains, valleys, and the stars, and be\nmean or narrow very long, and these\ndaily feasts ; enlarged their mind's and\nforced them to think and observe, to\nStudy men and things more.than books.\nThis is, or should be, the chief end of\neducation. The modern school does not\ndo this, if thinks for-the man instead of\nteaching' the man to think for himself.\nYou^can drive men to college but you\ncannot make them think. When the\nprospectors turned out a graduate he was\naman. They paved the way and laid the\nfoundation for abetter future, The keynote of the future, - if we are truly progressing in the highest and best sense of\nthe word lies in this fact when applied to\nto all industries.\nThese .men, perhaps .without'-'knowing\nit, were, and are, the living exponents of\nthe greatest principle of absolute justice\nthat the world has seen. When they\ntook a dollar from the ground it was all\ntheirs. TH'ey did not have to give ac^ni\nto any corporation or trust. TheV dften\nbuilt their flumes and dug miles oif\ndjtehes without the aid of capital. There\nwere no paupers among them, for they\nwere all kings and princes. All could\nlive who would exert themselves'.' Their\noccupation begat hope.and the fear of\nwant did not bother them, hence they all\nlived to a good age barring accidents, M\nI believe the fear of want is the origin\nof greed and theft. Their mode of life\nand simple laws bred confidence aha\ntended to bring to the surface all that was\"\ngood i,n- man. Modern commercialism\nor cannibalism tends to suppress all,^ha{\nis good and noble and brings into action\nall the forces of evil. \u25a0 Their life bred\nconfidence in humanity and each other\nand produced men as they desire to be\",\nnot as they,. are forced to be. Present;\n'conditions with-us produce mercenary\ncannibals. With them it was easiercKfe;\nearn things than to steal them, so ultimately, men did not steal, if thev did1\nthey were advised that a change of-jplii\nmate would-benefit their health a;nd the\nrequest was generally heeded. .\nYours truly,\nJ.

E. HOWSE.\nNOTES AND COMMENTS.\nPolitical sentiment changes with\nthe ever varying political aspect of\nthe times. Today there are many\nstaunch Liberals who in the next\nthree or four years will have altered\ntheir political course to a more independent one. The Liberal party\nis now at the zenith of its fame and\npower and any further additions to\nthat height will render it dangerously unsafe to the party. Besetting squalls there must be. And,\nas the foundations of the Liberal\nparty are only laid to carry a structure of certain dimensions, then,\nas with all edifices, political or\nother, the moment the basic principles of good architecture are violated it must sink or totter with its\nown weight. Now, the Liberal\ntower is built to a height unparalleled in the history of the Dominion. Confusion and the babel of\ntongues are inevitable when the\nclouds are reached. So the warn--\ning note is sounded to the Liberal\nparty not to seek further additions\nto its roll of adherents for the mere\nsake of numerical strength, rather\nweed out the servile supporter and\nencourage independent thought and\ncriticism from within the party.\nClean, upright and honest government will always command public\napproval and the purification of any.\nparty can only be accomplished by\na stalwart independence of the electorate.\nThere is little need of any comment upon the political -meeting\nheld in the court house last week\nwhen the Premier, Chief Commissioner and the local member made\nspeeches.' c Each of the speakers\nseemed bent on outdoing the other\nin fulsome praise of themselves and\nthe government. Richard hung\nupon the necks of L. W. and Robert then all three hugged in\ntight embrace while the Judge,\n\" good friend \" that he is now to\nthem, looked on with the smile of a\nJuly sunbeam. It was a tory love\nfeast with an exhibition of political spooning that made even some\nof their hidebound followers feel a\nbit, squeamish. While they weie\ntossing bouquets to each other the\naudience wondered where they came\nin. Were they to be ignored alto-\ngether?

There must be\nsomething in the air, ' the food or\nthe soda water to create the nerve\nnecessary for a member in the back\nseats of the house to stand before an\naudience and take credit for building the V., V. & E. Colossal gall !\nThe public generally gave President Hill some credit for building\nthat road and the railway committee and house of commons at Ottawa were commended for having\n..passed such legislation as would\nenable Mr. Hill to build the road.\nHowever, if one wants to hear\nsome funny things he ought to attend the political meetings ot the\npresent administration and hear the\nlocal--member make his 'modest'\nclaims for great achievements.\nThe province of British Columbia will be in lasting disgrace if the\ndispute between the Canadian Pacific and the Victoria, Vancouver &\nEastern railway companies over a\ncrossing results in bloodshed. The\nprovincial authorities have power\nto enforce the law and keep the\npeace, even when great railway\ncorporations have each other by the\nthroat, and if they refuse or neglect to exercise the powers with\nwhich they are invested they are\nunfit for their positions. The rights\nof the companies respectively must\nbe determined finally by the courts\nor the railway commission and the\nsooner they are seized of the issue\nthe better. There is no right of\nprivate warfare in Canada.\u2014Toronto Globe. Mr. Shatford and his\nchiefs should lose no time in quelling the disturbance at Midway.\nSince they claim such great influence in bringing about the construction of the V., V. & E. surely\nthey can abate any delay in that\nconstruction occasioned by a free\nfight among the navvies for possession of right-of-way. The C.P.R.\nand the McBride government cannot be held guiltless for the disgraceful attempt to hold up the\nconstruction of the road and the\nspilling of innocent blood.
