CANUCKS WILL UNITE\nLiberals Organize for the Approaching Dissolution of\nthe Government.\nPrinceton Liberal Association Formed,\nj Under Gratifying Auspices\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n. Efficient Organizer.\nA well attended meeting of Liberals\nwas held in the board of trade rooms on\nWednesday night at which the organizer,\nR. W. Grigor of Rossland was in attendance. He urged the formation of a\nlocal Liberal association as a means of\nstrengthening and solidifying the party\nand rendering effective aid to parliamentary candidates. It would also be the\nofficial channel through which local\nneeds would be advocated and the patronage of this section distributed by Liberal\nrepresentatives. The various local associations throughout the Similkameen\nwill have the privilege of sending dele\ngates to a districjbfcouncil, the place of its\nfirst meeting being fixed by the organizer. The Liberal party is- fortunate in\nhaving Mr. Grigor accept the arduous\ntask of organization for a territory an\nempire in extent and his ability to unite\ndissentient forces into one systematic\nwhole is fully appreciated in many places\nwhere local difficulties existed.\nThe Princeton Liberal Association was\norganized and the following officers installed on Wednesday night, the election\nand appointment of other officers and\ncommitteemen being deferred until the\nadjourned meeting on Thursday, 29th\ninst.: Honorary President, Duncan Ross,\nM.P.; President, W.

BARNARD.\nIt will be learned with very sincere\nregret by many friends here of the death\nof Mrs. E. C. Barnard at St. Paul on the\n1st March, resulting from a surgical operation. Deceased lady was beloved wife\nof E. C. Barnard, of the U. S. boundary\nsurvey, who was here for some months\nlast year in connection therewith. Mrs.\nBarnard was charming in personality and\nwon the esteem of all who met her. For\nher husband expressions of deepest sympathy are offered in this hour of his sore\naffliction. ' -\nSociety for the Promotion of\nEqual Rights and Love\nof Country.\nOrganization Meeting will be Held\nand Foundation Laid in Broad\nNational Spirit.\nThe organization of a society for the\nfurther promotion of patriotic national\nsentiment, mutual help and loyalty to\neach other in all things pertaining to\ntheir welfare was suggested some four or\nfive years ago by Canadians resident in\nPrinceton and vicinity. More or less\ndormant since the time named the question of organization has been recently\nrevived and seems now to have assumed\ntangible jrfape in the annoucement that\na meetrafPwill be held on Friday night,\n30th instT All who are Canadians by\nbirth or naturalization are invited to attend. The promoters of the idea have\nin view the formation of a society on\nlines similar to those of the Sons of\nEngland in this province. The scope bf\nthe society as intimated to the Star will'\ninclude alt&fhe benefits, governmental\"\npatronage and favor which is the due of\"\nCanadians, without trespassing on the\nrights of others, and will aini to secure\nfair recognition of the claims of birthright and naturalization. The full purpose of the society will be more definitely\nstated in the constitution. So far as \\nknown this is the first society of the\nkincL ever mooted in Canada and its\ngrowth will be watched with keen interest. It is hoped\" that the membership\nclause will be broad enough to admit the\nfair sex. 5*\u00C2\u00A5?\nRAILROAD SIGNALS.\nEngineer Amburn has pitched camp in\ntown with his party of railway surveyois\nand is engaged revising and relocating\nthe line hereabouts.\nThere is no doubt that the C.

HOWSE.\nFOREWARNED, FOREARMED.\nAs the murky clouds ou the horizon accompanied by the low, distant rumblings of thunder indicate\nthe approach of storm, so do the\nstealthy movements of the Conservative government at Victoria foreshadow the outbreak of a political\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2campaign leading ud to the culminating storm of a general election\nday. The collectors of votes for\nvarious districts in the province\nhave been flitting back and forth\nto the capital, many faithful tories\nhave been recently appointed commissioners for taking affidavits\nunder the Provincial Elections Act,\nthe large increase in the expenditure of public money and the oft\nrepeated statement of prominent\nConservatives and press that a general election was not contemplated\nthis year. All these things indicate\nthat the elections will be precipitated and come as a thief in the\nnight.\nThe last provincial elections\nshould be a warning to Liberals.\nThen the polling da}' was moved\nfromthe date originally set to one\nthirty days sooner, By so doing\nPremier JVfcBride proved that he\nwas an accomplished trickster and\nwould stifle public discussion of his\npolicy to gain a snap verdict from\nthe voter. The man who will thus\njuggle with dates will connive with\ngrafters, a bloated railway corporation and a millionaire speculator to\nthwart the honest intentions and\nconvictions of the people at the\npolls or rob them of their heritage\nof land or other natural wealth.\nThe Liberals have wisely determined not to be outflanked or\neaught in any ruse of the enemy.\nOrganizers of both parties are in\nthe field, the first to visit Princeton (this week) being a Liberal.\nWhether the elections take place\nthree months or a year hence every\nLiberal worthy of the name will\nuse the talents given him in defense\nof his party's principles and in the\nconversion of others to the view\nthat a loose and profligate government should no longer be entrusted\nwith the destinies of this vast and\nnaturally rich province.\nNever have Liberals been supplied with a better quality of campaign ammunition on the eve of a\ngreat and decisive victory. The\nrecent land scandal in which grafters, male and female, received the\nprice of their iniquitous collusion\nwith a member of the government\nis shot and shell sufficient to cause\nthe downfall of the strongest tory\ncabinet. The utter depravityof a\nministry which will associate with\nand seek the counsels of renegade\nmongers in questionable practises is\ncap and fuse that will cause the explosion of the McBride administration. This administration which\nmanufactures a surplus with \" hot\nair \" and makes a farce of justice\nin the Fernie ballot box affair offers\nan easy mark for the Liberal gunners.\nNOTES AND COMMENTS.\nIf British Columbia is ever to receive better terms from the Dominion it must come through the intercession of a friendly provincial government. The present first Conservative government of this province is decidedly antagonistic to\nthe Liberal government at Ottawa\nand can accomplish nothing toward\nobtaining an increased subsidy.\nThe taxpayers of the province are\nlosers by the friction existing between the province and the Dominion. The removal of this friction\ncan only be accomplished at the\nballot box. I\nPremier McBride insists, at the\ncost of his reputation as a public\nman, which of course is not worth\na great deal, that the government\nin the Kaien island deal acted directly with the G.T.P. Co. If that\nbe so, how was it that Mr. Anderson negotiated with Mr. Morse for\nthe sale of the property to the G.\nT.P. for the sum of $40,000.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Victoria Times.\nA certified copy of the reasons\nthat have led the Hon. Chas. Wilson to resign from the McBride\ncabinet is not obtainable ; but close\npolitical friends of his assert with\nemphasis that he disapproves of\nthe course of the government in the\nKaien island and Columbia &\nWestern thefts, and that he is incensed at the failure of the government to collect the $475,000 of taxes\nthat are overdue from the Canadian\nPacific Railway Co. and A. Heinze.\nMr. Wilson's departure is a distinct\nloss to the government and it is not\nbelieved to be possible for a ministerial supporter to be returned in\nany important constituency to fill\nthe vacant post. The resignation\nof Mr. Green is believed to be imminent and Mr. McBride's own resignation, which will mean the disappearance of the last fluttering rag\nof the Petticoats, cannot be long\ndelayed.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Vancouver World.\nCERTIFICATE OF THE REGISTRA/\nTION OF AN EXTRA-PROVINCIAL COMPANY.\n\"Companies Act, 1897 \"\nI hereby certify that the \" Oregon &\nBritish Columbia Mining and Developing\nCo., Ltd.,\" has this day been registered\nas an Extra-Provincial Company under\nthe \" Companies Act, 1897,\" to carry out\nor effect all or any of the objects of the\nCompany to which -the legislative authority of the Legislature of British Columbia extends.\nThe head office of the Company is\nsituate at the City of Portland, Multnomah County, State of Oregon.\nThe amount of the capital of the Company is one hundred and fifty thousand\ndollars* divided into one million five\nhundred thousand shares of ten cents\neach.\nThe head office of the Company in this\nProvince is situate at Copper \"Mountajn,\nPrinceton, B.
