C, SATURDAY, JUEY 7th, 1900.\n$2.00 Pbr Year.\nIT WAS A GALA DAY\nKeremeos Welcomes her Sister\nTown on Dominion Day.\nPrincetonites, Ollala, Fairview, Loomis\nand Surrounding Country Vie with\nKeremeos oh Pleasure Bent.\nOn Saturday evening and Sunday, all the bloods of Princeton who\nI could scare up a little of the needful started on their way t6 the Dominion day sports at Keremeos,\nwith the avowed purpose of capturing their share of the spoils and dispelling any doubts as to their ability\nto hold the first prize against all\ncomers. Among those whose exchequer was sufficiently large to\ncarry them through the attack were:\nMessrs. Budd, Aldous, Jlind, Webb,\nRyder, Irwin, Harris, Richter,\nSummers, Richardson, Allison and\nKruger, while a number of others\naccompanied them in order to take\ncare of the wounded.\nAlthough it had rained quite\nheavy in Princeton the night before, at Keremeos it had cleared up\nsufficiently so that the sports were\ncarried through in the most pleasing manner. The races were of\n1 the highest order, the Princetonites\nI taking a hand in most every one.\nIn the foot races J. Richter secured\nthe biggest number of prizes, followed closely by W. Kruger of this\nplace. The jumping contests were\neasily won by Vic Ryder, seconded\nby Press and Richter. In the horse\nraces J. Budd, of Princeton, carried\naway the best prizes. The Richter boys of Keremeos won the greatest number of entries during the\nday, obtaining first and second prize\nin nearly every contest entered.\nIn the football contest the Simil-\nkameeniters outplayed the Fair-\nViews after a lively and interesting\ntussel. The team for this district\nwas composed largely ofiJfennceton-\nites whose battle-scarred visages tell\nof a battle dearly fought and won.\nThe judges of the day were\nFrank Richter and R. Cawston, who\nin most instances carried themselves\nin a dignified manner. In the evening the day's pleasure closed amid\nI the dizzy whirl, which was indeed\nI one of the most enjoyable instances\nI drove out as far as the Golden\nCrown. When asked by a Pioneer\njMBresentative if his smelter was re-\nceiving much ore from the Bound-\nary, Mr. Aldridge said: \"Yes; we\nare beginning to get regular ship-\nments from this section now. On\nan average we are receiving about\n'{'xSk cars daily from Boundary mines,\nand we expect this to gradually in-\ncrease. We shall have no trouble\n'm furnishing all the ore cars that\nmay be needed. We are looking\n!|wer the mines of the district for\nthe purpose of familiarizing ourselves with the character of the ores\nIn the different properties, from\nJHhich we expect to receive large\n^\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ipments in the near future.\"\nSome time ago the remark was\nheard on the streets of Princeton,\nmade by a misinformed or unknowing person, that there were no shipping mines in the Boundary. Such\nn\u00C2\u00A7|3leading statements only go to\nshow the gross ignorance, of our\nown immediate country, some knowing ones possess. Every day we\nsee some striking incidence of this\nB&k of knowledge from parties that\nare making mining their business.\nWe heard one party make the statement that he was through Phoenix\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0vguring the winter and that the Old\n^Ironsides and Knob Hill mines were\njclosed down, and had been all win-\nUp'to-Date I\nMerchandise I\nIn Quantity and Quality to Suit the Purchaser, g\nIf you are intending to furnish your house it will pay you to see our line of New m\nCARPETS and HOUSE FURNISHINGS. * * * Or probably you are moving 1\nahead with the town and need a new coat of paint on your house.

On being cornered he finally\nadmitted that he might be mistaken;\nthat somebody told him the mine\nnear town was closed down, but he\nwas not positive of its name. As\na matter of fact the neither one of\nthe mines were closed down, but\nwere kept running all winter, and\nlater on in.the season put on an extra force of men. The unimformed\npersons who make these mistate-\nments do not confine their remarks\nto any particular country, but for\nmere effect go about condemning\nand running down any property\nor part of the country which they\ndo not take a fancy too, thereby\ngiving strangers an entirely wrong\nimpression. We .occasionally hear\nparties giving their opinion on some\nundeveloped property, which does\nnot happen to be their own, making\nit appear that the property had no\nshowings to work on, securing their\ninformation from no source whatever but their own emulous and\nmeddling brain.^ If these parties\ncould only hold their information\nuntil called for there would probably be no occassion for any remarks on the subject. The two\npreceeding articles give an idea\nas to whether the Boundary country has any shipping mines, and\nnly give the Similkameen one-half\nthe chance other portions of the\nprovince have had and we will take a\nback seat for no one in the way\nof shipping mines.\nJob Printing\nOf Every Description\nat the STAR office,\nTAX NOTICES.\nSimilkameen Division of Yale Dist\nNOTICE is hereby given, in accordance \\nOne-half of one percent, on personal property.\nOn so much of the income, of any person as ex-\nIf paid on or after ist Juiy, 1900.\nFour-fifths of one per cent, on real property.\nThree-fourths of one per cent, on personal\n'Three^er cent, on assessed value of wild land.\nceeds one thousand dollars, the folfowing rates,\nHUGH HUNTER,\ninceton, March 3:\nNOTICE.\nCertificate of Improver\n>UVER MINERAL CLAI\nfcrict.

The residents should cast\naside all their animosity for neoteric\nideas and work hand in hand with\neach other for the upbuilding of the\nSimilkameen country. The fact\nthat we are so far away from the\noutside world in the matter of transportation, and yet so near in actual\ndistances, should only be more\ncause for a concerted action on the\npart of the whole community. If\nthe people of the Similkameen valley could only drop their inveteracy\nand have one mind what a blessing\nit would be. If such were the case\nour energies would be placed in the\nright paths and could be used as a\nsort of a combine to force the needs\nof a long suffering community upon\nan unobservant administration.\nPossibly our needs in regard to a\nbetter mail service could be brought\ncloser to the thinking tanks of our\nworthy postmaster-general at Ottawa, and probably our efforts in regards to the opening up of roads,\ntrails, bridges, schools, and etc.,\nwould meet with better success if\nthey were backed up by the grim\ndetermination to stand for the best\ninterests of the Similkameen country, first, last and always. If we\ncan not live up to this resolution, it\nwould be better for us and the\ncountry at large, if we with our\nautochthonal ideas, packed up and\nmoved on.\nour antiquated mail service by draw\ning a comparison. A letter direct\ned to Phoenix, B. C, and datec\nJune 10th, was sent the same day\nto Keremeos, getting there too late\nto catch the tri-weekly stage\u00E2\u0080\u0094thereby losing too days\u00E2\u0080\u0094arriving al;\nPhoenix, June 18. An answer was\nmailed the same day and going by\nway of Robson, Revelstoke, Spences\nBridge arrived in Princeton on June\n30th, takingatotal of 18 days. Ifthe\nletter had been mailed from Princeton via Spences Bridge it would\nhave taken 22 day. The distance\nfrom to Princeton to Phoenix via\nKeremeos is about 140 miles. By\nRevelstoke 400. On June 11 a letter was mailed to St. Louis, arriving in that city on the 21st. Ar\nanswer to this letter was received\non June 30th. The distance to St\nLouis from Princeton is something\nlike 4000 miles. To St. Louis and\nreturnj[i9 days. To Phoenix anc\nreturn 22 days. Both letters arrived at Spences Bridge on the 26th.\nIf they had been a day later they\nwould have had to lay over for a\nweek, thereby requiring 30 days to\nreceive a reply from the Boundary\nmiles away. What gyratory\nmovement these letters are required\nto go through between Spences\nBridge and the Boundary is more\nthan we can imagine.\nA FINE MAIL SERVICE. (?)\nThe postal authorities have had\ntheir attention called to the poor\ncondition of our (weakly) mail service by the people of the province\nso many times in the past few years\nthat it seems about time some concessions were made. Without trying to gain an ear of our august\npost-master general at Ottawa, in\nregard to this matter, we will rather\nseek condolence from our brother\nsufferers in other parts of the province by giving an illustration of\n\ EDITORIAL COMMENT. \\nOur Boundary exchanges are\nlightly out-of-date when they ar-\nive at our office, consequently the\nlatest papers are just telling \"how\nit come to happen\" at the recent\nelection.\nThe approximate payroll of Rossland for June 15th footed up to\n1,000, with every prospect for an\nincrease next month. There will\nbe a day in the near future when\nPrinceton's mines will go them one\nbetter.\nThe postponement of the\ntiye session for two weeks, was anything but satisfactory, as the present condition of affairs all over the\nprovince require prompt action in\nregard to the public and private legislation left undone by the untimely\nend of the last\nIt is estimated that the entire\nyield of spring and winter wheat\nin the United States will not be over\n500,000,000 bushels. If the calculations should be borne out by the\nharvest, the crop will be the smallest since 1896. The yield in 1897\nwas 530,000,000; in 1898, 675,000,-\n000; and in 1899, 547,000,000\nbushels.\nRunning a newspaper is the one\nbusiness which nine out of ten people think they know all about, yet\nas a matter of fact the successful\nconducting of a journalistic venture\nrequires more and various kinds of |\ndiversified talent than it takes to\nput a backwoods barnstorming theatrical company through a poor\nseason.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Grand Forks Miner.\nDoubtless individual selfishness\nhas been responsible for incalculable\nmischief in the past and has retarc\ned our onward progress to a large\nextent.

After a vast\namount of interviewing and petitioning the ministers at last commenced\nto recognize the needs of the district. They were made aware of\nthe importance of the new town of\nPrinceton as the centre of supply\nfor the numerous mining camps\nwhich are springing up around us\nand were forced to realize the advantages to the province of opening\nup the vast sources of minera\nwealth which has been proven to\nexist in the neighborhood, anc.\nhad signified their intention of placing on this years estimates all the\nmost urgent work demanded by the\nPrinceton delegates. Then, came-\n. their illegaldismipsal hy ^he late\nWG^hA^governor with the result that all the\nexp&ldilule of money and time has\nbeen fruitless, and we are no farther\nforward than we were a year ago '\nWell! What are we going to do\nabout it? If I know anything of\nthe community of Princeton they\nare not the sort to take a reverse\nlike this lying down.\nWe must organize a fresh campaign and put renewed zest into it,\nfor the reason that we have now to\nIireckon with a little mushroom su-\nI burb endeavoring to further its own\nI interests by interfering with ours,\nand trying to sow discord amongst\nus. Such figures as those lately\npublished by you should prove a\nserviceable weapon to fight with if\na future fight becomes necessary;\nbut I think we may safely reckon\nupon a bloodless victory. No self-\nrespecting government could possibly go to work upon such distinc;\npromises as those made by their\npredecessors; we have only to prove\nthese promises and ask that they be\nfulfilled.\nWe have no reason to suppose\nthat the present government well be\nunfriendly to us, and we may safely\ncount upon the advocacy of Mr.\nMurphy who received such a substantial support from the Princeton-\nites at the late election, and will see\nthat a community contributing so\nlargely to the funds of the government are not ignored in the future.\nYour remark that $2500 was uselessly expended last fall on the road\nto Keremeos is scarcely just to the\nlate government. Certainly so long\nas the road remains incomplete the\nmoney spent upon the construction\nof the first few miles is so much\nmoney lying ide, but this road is\none of the most pressing needs of\nthe district. It was the intention\nof the late government to complete\nit this spring, and there will be no\npeace for the new ministry till they\ntake this work in hand and so give\na value to the $2,500 already lafci\nout.\nIt would be a crying shame if a\ntown of the present size of Princeton, which is now^^lmost ripe for\n^pncgrpor.ation, should remainlonger\n*\"\" without such necessaries as a school\na court house and a recorder's\noffice.
