No. 20.\nPRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1908.\n$2 a Year, in Advance\nROUTES OF V.V., & E.\nCoast Newspapers Conjure up\nBogey of Road Going\nAcross Line.\nCharter Calls for All-Canadian Route\nto Coast\u00E2\u0080\u0094Graders Creep np\nthe Valley.\n. A great deal of space-filling is now\ngoing on in some newspapers regrarding\nthe route to be taken by the V.V., & E ,\nnow building in the Similkameen, after\nit leaves Princeton. Some stoutly assert\nthat Hill will never cross the Hope summit but will bend southward across the\ninternational boundary and make a junction with one of his existing lines, run\nning east and west.\nThe charter of the V.V...& E. calls for\nan all-Canadian route. Amendments to\nthe charter were asked for and granted\nin the Railway Committee of parliament\nwhich enabled Mr. Hill to cross and re\ncross the boundary line so that he might\novercome insurmountable physical difB\nculties in the construction of the railroad\nfrom Midway to Chopaca, where it enters\nB C. after making a detour in Washington to obviate Anarchist mountain.\nThe main line of the V.V., & E. to Van\ncouver has been surveyed, located and\nregistered west of Princeton up the Tulameen River, through the Coquihalla Pass\nvia Hope. A preliminary survey has\nbeen made up the Similkameen, over the\nHope mountains via Hope, as an alternative route. Both are all-Canadian. A\nreconnaisance of a route via the Pasayton\nRiver across the international boundary\nand down the Skagit was made by Hol-\nman Bros., but nothing further has been\ndone. It is believed that this route is\nimpracticable within reasonable cost and\nis not taken serious thought of.\nIt would be necessary to obtain further\nlegislation to enable Hill to cross the\nboundary and reach the coast via the\nSkagit and Everett. In any case it is\nbelieved that eastern M.P.'s would solidly\noppose any deviation of the line *br such\na long distance.\nCoast newspapers need not borrow any\ntrouble at this late date where the tonnage of the Similkameen will go to.\nThey did not help the Similkameenites\nto get a railway but buciced ''Uncle Jim\"\nat every turn of the road when he was\nseeking legislaion to build into the Similkameen and to Vancouver in opposition\nto the C.P.R. Mr. Hill wiil long be\nhailed as the saviour of the Similkameen\nin contradistinction to those C.P R. organs which tried to kill it. People here\nare fair traders and will trade with those\nwho trade with them. At present Spok\nane capital looks very good to Prince-\ntonians while coast money is not in sight.\nIf the coast newspapers will be good\nenough to leave our railway matters alone\nand mind their affairs at home the Star\nwill say some nice things about them.\nGrading will shortly begin at Princeton. The right-of-way clearing being\nnearly completed to Hedley. No right-\nof-way has been purchased west of\nPrinceton. Between 150 and 200 men\nare at work on coustruction. If work\nwere pushed the rails could be easily laid\nto Princeton by the end of the year.\nPRINCETON TENNIS CLUB.\nThe tennis season opened last Saturday on the grounds of the Princeton Tennis Club. Quite a number of spectators;\nviewed the play from the rustic fence.\nIn tl.e personnel of the club no less than\nin the materiel there is every requisite\nfor its success and the auspicious opening\ngives promise of much social and athletic\npleasure as well as conducing to that state\nof hj-giene so much sought after by the\nambitious and ever increasing human\nfiniily of today. Perhaps a tournament\nma3* be arranged with Kamloops, Vancouver or Victoria as it is said Princeton\nis the only town in the Similkameen\nthat affords a tennis club.\nOVERDUE SUBSCRIPTIONS.\nThe Star would like to see the color of\nthe collateral of some of its delinquent\nsubscribers. A few people in this neck\nof woods seem to think that they should\nhave the Star gratis, having read it for\nyears without putting up a 'bean'\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\nend of forbearance and patience has been\nreached and other less indulgent measures adopted. The Star cannot live on\nwind, it must have a little gas, and that\nmeans the devil's to pay. Pay now and\nease your conscience.\nTOWN AND DISTRICT NEWS.\nMarriage licenses are now issued by\nGordon Harris, Penticton, which makes\nit a little more convenient for prospective\nbenedicts in Princeton. But why not\none of our own citizens be appointed\nissuer of these interesting, and withal,\nmost important documents.\nJudge Brown held county court last\nFriday, the, only case being an appeal\nfrom magistrates' decision re theft charge\nagainst Ah Sam. Appeal sustained,\nconviction quashed. B. S. Kennedy,\n'Q.C.,' for appellant.\nJas. Clarke, watchmaker, of Hedley,\nwas in town Tuesday on a visit. He reports things active in his town, with the\nexception of the board of trade, which\nhe thinks has got gallopping consumption. Disease among boards of trade\nseems to be highly infectious.\nThe Misses Schon of Spokane will\nshortly spend their vacation at home,\nPrinceton.\nMrs, Ronald Hewat is expected to arrive from Alberta this week where she\nhas had a long and enjoyable visit.\nTHE MINING WORLD\nMetal Market Firm, Coppers\nAdvancing and Prduct\nIs Increasing.\nB C. Copper Co. Resumes Operations\nin Boundary\u00E2\u0080\u0094Miner Tunnels\nAll Alone.\n: Resumption of work at the British Columbia Copper Co's mines and smelter at\nGreenwood, after a long close down, is\nthe best bit of news from that town for\nmany moons. Nearly seven hundred\nmen will find employment at once.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Robert Stevenson, the veteran miner\nand prospector, received word on Saturday that a big strike had been made on\nthe Myomi, Nickel Plate Mountain. He\nimmediately left town to superintend\nfurther operations.\nMining in Kootenav generall}- is more\nsatisfactory than was thought possible\nduring the financial stringency of last\nfall.\nM. K. Rodgers, the first man to develop\nand prove the riches of the Nickel Plate\nmine at Hedley, says that he has assayed\nall tbe mining districts from Mexico to\nAlaska but has found nothing to equal\nthe Nickel Plate. It is reported that Mr.\nRodgers was in Hedley in connection\nwith some pending litigation with the\nDaly Reduction Co.\nEurope is again buying copper and the\nprice again advances in London. Cop\nper is now hovering about 13c. but is ex\npected to soon advance to 14c per lb.\nP. Y. Smith came down from Granite\nCreek last week and reports some three\nfeet of snow Bear Creek way.\nJ. E. McCauley, who is himself an investor in the Princeton district and also\nrepresents considerable Spokane capital,\nhas been steadily at work with a gang of\nmen for about a year on Copper Mountain on the Combination group. He has\nspent several thousand dollars in development work, thus giving employment\nand disbursing money for supplies. He\nhas unbounded faith in this district and\nis buying mineral properties. Recently\nhe bought 640 acres of coal land near\nPrinceton at what is considered a veo'\ncheap bargain, the surface rights as wild\nland alone being worth $1500, three-\nfourths of price of lease.\nThe Vermilion Forks Co. is shipping\n20 tons of coal to the Adams-Weeks\ngold and platinum dredger at Granite\nCreek.\nE. E. Griffiths located the Westmount\nin the Slocan in 1896. Since that time\nhe has driven, all alone, a thousand-foot\ntunnel. For months at a time he neither\nsaw a human form nor heard another's\nvoice. It is thought he has got a bonanza and he deserves it.\nFree Miners' Certificates must be renewed before the end of May\u00E2\u0080\u0094$5 will\nsatisfy the law's demands.\nMartin and Smith, members of Phoenix Miners' Union, No. 8, were recently\nkilled by a falling ledge in stope No. 61\n300-fo\"t level of the Granby mine. Martin was a native of New Zealand and had\nonly recently married a young bride at\nFairview ; Smith was a native of England.\nThe prospects for a rich camp at Find-\nlay River are unusually good, but starvation threatens the camp owing to scarcity\nof supplies.\nPeter Johnson is at Kennedy Mountain doing assessment work.\nFIRE BELL REGULATIONS.\nNow that the fire bell has been installed, Fire Chief, J. R.Campbell has\ngiven the Star the following regulations\nfor publication which citizens should\npaste up for reference :\nFor fire alarm purposes the town is\ndivided into two wards. Ward I consists\nof that portion lying between Billiter\nAve. and Tulameen River. Ward 2, all\nthat part between Billiter Ave. and Similkameen River.\nFour sharp taps on the bell, with slight\npause between each four, will indicate\nthat the fire is in Ward i. Two sharp\ntaps, with pause between each two, will\nlocate the fire in Ward 2.\nContinuous moderate ringing of the\nbell will be used for meetings of any\nkind, for public demonstrations or for\ngiving the correct time daily. Tolling\nfor the dead will be one stroke of the\nbell with measured intervals of ten seconds.\nTampering with the bell by any person\nringing it needlessly, in'frohc, is not permitted and is liable to prosecution.\nPrinceton has now a fire alarm system\nthat is not equalled in any town of its\nsize in Canada and the Fire Brigade is\ndeserving of much credit for having persistently worked to such good purpose. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nADVERTISING RESOURCES.\nFifty thousand dollars will be spent by\nthe Spokane Chamber of Commerce in\nadvertising the resources of Spokane and\ndistrict. Spokanners have spent more\nthan $60,000 in the last two years in inducing capital and population to come\ninto the country and develop its resources. It is claimed that there is room for\n50,000,000 of people in the 150,000 square\nmiles of country tributary to Spokane.\nThe Princeton Board of Trade might do\nwell to take notice and follow the example of Spokane\u00E2\u0080\u0094not in spending $50,000\nbut as much as she could without taking\nchances on the sheriff. It pays to advertise.\n r\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0npWJL.ptWIJ I '\nTHE SIMILKAMEEN STAR\nMay 13 1908\n^ THE STAR. I\nA. E.

Every town\nof any pretensions now has its publicity organization or schemes for\nmaking known its merits. To be\nieTTfavor on this office by {out of fashion is to be out-of-date\nand left behind in the race and this,\nit is hoped, is not to be the fate of\nPrinceton.-\nAs to the necessity of business\npeople advertising a letter received\nat the Star office in connection with\nan order for groceries to local\nhouses, will exemplify :. \" * * *\n\" I can't find that he advertises in\n\" the Star.

Is\nthe paper needed ? Is it of any\nbenefit ? Will it help to build up\nthe town and country ? These are\nthe vital questions which, if answered in the affirmative ought to\nbe followed.by a subscription paid\nin advance or an ad. The power\nof printer's ink and the need of a\nnewspaper has been demonstrated.\nWill the miners, prospectors, farmers, mechanics, merchants, hotel-\nkeepers, companies, board of trade\nand government rise to their opportunities and patronize their local\nnewspaper, cr will they neglect it\nand languish, and grumble, and\nknock and pine away under the\nwithering competition of other\ntowns ?

Without advertising in these progressive\ndays a city, or a town, or a business\nmight as well be buried.

Without extensive advertising the great wheat\nbelts of the northwest would still\nhave been the hunting ground of\nthe Indian and the rolling tide of\nimmigration now sweeping over\nthose northwestern plains, a thing\nunknown. Special editions of newspapers and pocket folders ,are the\nmost popular forms of advertising\ntowns or districts, while the regular advertisement of every business\nin a city or town is not only necessary for the life of the local paper\nbut is the only recognized means\nwhereby an outside reader may size\nup the town.

Its original articles cover every\nfield of industry and production. Recently its illustrated articles of the great\nmanufacturing concerns of Canada with\nbiographical sketches of the Captains of\nIndustry who founded or control them,\nhave been very interesting and full of\ninformation for every class of reader. It\nis the recognized '\"bible\" of the Ontario\nfarmer, who consults its able articles on\nfarming and agriculture generally. Its\ncontributions on fruit growing, forestry\nand allied subjects make it of especial\nvalue to the fruit growers of the Similka\nmeen. The Weekly Globe and Canada\nFarmer, including the Illustrated Maga\nzine section, is the best Dollar-Per-Year\npaper in Canada, if not in the world.\nThe Daily Globe is indeed Canada's\nnational newspaper, the \"Times\" of\nthe Dominion lis editorials are read by\nevery well informed editor, who goes to\nthem for inspiration and instruction on\nall possible subjects. The beauty cf its\nLiberalism lies in its willingness to turn\non the searchlight on its own party as\nwell as on the Conservatives. lis secret\nof power and influence lies in that fact.\nIt is the ablest edited of all Canadian\njournals and is read and quoted by members of parliament, ministers and writers\ngeneially, besides the largest constituency\nof daily readers in Canada. Clean and\nwholesome, its uplifting power is beyond\nquestion. Its mechanical makeup is not\nquite up to date and it needs new type\nfaces as well as the latest in heading\nstyles. It ought also to devote a page to\nmining in the weely issue and stitch the\nwhole edition together. The above is\nwritten in answer to a letter asking the\nStar's opinion of the Globe.\nRAILWAY JOLTS.\nC.P R.
