Something more than me-e \\\npleasure must have attracted these gen- f\ntlemen to Princeton. We shall see later\non for their mission is a secret.\nM. J. Haney, the millionaire railroad\ncontractor, Cawthra Mulock, millionaire\ncapitalist and son of Canada's brilliant\npostmaster-general, these men accompanied by a special correspondent of the\nMontreal Herald, J. C. Walsh, arrived in\nPrinceton on Tuesday having driven from:\nMidway in a coach with outriders. They\ntravel in semi-state and have their own\nprivate car on their continental tour.

While I supported\nMr. Shatford last election and intended\ndoing so again, this course on his part\nhas not only lost him my vote but has\nalienated other men of independent\npolitical views. In allowing his paper\nto attack Mr. Ross without good reason,\nas it has done, he has shown a pettiness\nand lack of fairmindedness altogether\ninexcusable in a public man occupying\nsuch a position of honor and responsibility. I would also advise Mr. Shatford\nto take some of the advice the Gazette\nhas been giving to knockers and prevent\nhis paper from making hurtful statements\ncalculated to injure neighboring town-\nsites.

It is scarcely necessary to say\nthat he considers this country great in\nmineral resources\u2014that is the oft quoted\nconviction of every mining man of note\nwho has once set foot in Princeton and\nobserved the presence of mineral all\naround. Mr. Croteau likes the country\nsb. well that he will be back as soon as\nhe can to make further investigation. He\nthinks this an ideal country for prospecting in by reason of the green hills affording grass for horses and accessir||[||yj\nto all parts. He took with him to Rossland a lot of samples for assay.\n_V\nResources are here for the Building\nof a Prosperous City.\n. Editor Star\u2014Sir: Since leaving\nPrinceton some time ago and pondering\nover the magnificence of the country surrounding your fair town, I concluded to .\ngive you my description of how the district impressed me. I think my impressions will be best described by endeavoring to answer the question : Where is\nPrinceton? I do not mean, by that the\ngeographical situation of the town, for\nat this period of the world's history, if\nanyone wishes to find where a town is,\nso that he may travel there, all he has to\ndo is to ask a transportation or telegraph\ncompany and he can get full information.\nPrinceton is no .exception to the rule.\nBut the question is : Where is Princeton in the business world ? How does it\nstand with relation to other business centres ? What has Princeton which will\nmake it a business centre ? What is there\nwhich will induce a man to live there ?\nThese are the questions which will be the\nsubject of my letter to you.\nLet me say first that Princeton sits on\na coal area carrying 65 feet in depth of\ncoal seams. Now, I know some of your\nreaders will say \"Oh, I have read that\nbefore.\" Well, let such a reader \"call\"\nme and I <vill prove it. Then, this coal\nis said to be lignite by some one who\nhas an interest in some other coal. Some,\nwho never saw anything but plow handles say it will net coke. I will put\nbricquettes of this coal into a furnace^\nwhere- you will not be able to see the\nsmoke, and I will do it at a price nqt\ngreater than what is now paid in any\npart of B.C. for coke, and then calculate\nthat I am a rich man, if the contract is\nlarge enough. On this coal question,\nlet it be understood as a settled fact that\nthe resource is such, if developed actively\nand intelligently, that it alone would\nproduce a large population in Prince--,\nton.\nI know there are those who say : \"What\nis the good  of your  coal?    You  cannot\nget a market for it.\"    I never knew any-'\nthing good where some  objections  were\nnot raised to it.    In the old days of Rossland  the original  owners of the Le Roi\nmine  managed  to  get a car load of ore\nand send it to a smelter.    Those owners'\ndid  not have much money at that time.\nThat car of ore  was well picked, for it\nwas necessary to make it pay the c3st of\nfreight  and treatment.    The owner who\",\nselected -the ore and went withi it to the\nsmelter slept in the empty car at Bound-,\nary City after he received the returns and\nimagine  his   feelings when  he   learned\nthat the car of ore  did not pay expenses\nthough the returns from the smelter were !\n$17 per ton.:' Times  have changed since\nthen.    He  has  received his hundreds of\nthousands of  dollars.

The backcapper is\na pest to be abhorred and shunned.\nSoon, however, their race is run,\nfor they hang themselves socialh'\nand the lying abuse they would fire\nat others recoils with deadly effect\nupon themselves. The backbiter is\nquite harmless, but is a public nuisance.\nMembers of. the board of trade\nshould endeavor to throw enough\nenthusiasm into that body to preserve the flickering life still remaining. Problems of great local concern can only be handled by a body\nof men who wil} boost for the whole\ntown and not for antagonizing individual interests. The Princeton\nboard has a great sphere of usefulness before it. Will it rise to the\noccasion ?  iJ;m,\n..Owing to the. central position of\nPrinceton it commands the trade of\na large tract of country. A town\ncannot thrive on mere position any\nmore than a man can live on scenery. The population of Princeton\nshould be at least 2000 within a\nyear. To acquire this number the\nindividual   effort  of   every  citizen\nSir  Wilfrid  Laurier,   premier of\nCanada,    a   French-Canadian  and\nRoman Catholic,   has  rather upset\nthe  foul  accusations  of certain of\nthe   ultra   loyal   tory    newspapers\nwhich  charge  him with disloyalty\nand sedition in connection with the\npassage of the  autonomy  bills for\nthe new provinces.    Being monopolists at heart in railway matters the\ntories  prate  their pharisaic loyalty\nat  all  times  in   the   vain effort to\nmake.the public  believe they have\na monopoly of all   the  patriotism.\nSir Wilfrid's religion nor his foreign\nextraction do not  stand in the way\nof his   devoted   loyalty to king and\ncountry notwithstanding aspersions\ncast upon his creed and nationality\nby an unscrupulous press.    His address  at  the Edmonton inauguration ceremonies is an answer to the\ncruel insinuations of disloyalty.   He\nsaid in part :    \"Let   me   say to one\nand all of our new   fellow-countrymen, that the Dominion of Canada\nis in one respect like   the Kingdom\nof   Heaven.
