G. R. B. Kinney, of the Hedley-\nKeremeos Methodist circuit, is a visitor\nto Princeton, forming new acquaintances\nand renewing old. Mr. Kinney, besides\nbeing a devoted and likable Christian\ngentleman, has hobbies the same as other\nmortals. One is to collect geological\ncurios, of which he has a large and interesting assemblage; the other is to\nscale peaks. He is a sky pilot in a real\nsense, having approached the heavens\nnearer than most people. Mr. Kinney\nson, (16,000 ft. ?) and has covered many\no.her peaks.

She was born in England 62\nyears ago and leaves two sons and three\ndaughters, who have the sincere sympathy of the whole commiinity. Deceased\nwajofa lovable personality, endearing\nherself to all acquainted with her during\nher sojourn here.\n6EEAT STORM ALL OVEE.\nStops Trains and Stages: Causes much\njit Hardship and Delay.\nTtteN ttage due from Nicola last Wednesday has been cancelled. It is extremely doubtful if the stage due today\nwill arrive on time\nG. B^ Armstrong, the Merritt postmaster and general merchant, was in town\nlast week on a business visit, coming via\nche Nicola trunk road. He had an adventurous trip, dne to the great storm of\"\nthe 27th ult., antijvag fjyp dayg making a\njourney whichusually occupies less than\ntwo. When he left home there was no\nsign of storm and mounted on a fine saddle horse the trip promised pleasure and\ncomfort. Not so, however, for the wind\narose, the snow fell. the trees cracked\nand danger lurked at every curve and\ndeclivity. Mr Armstrong reached Jack\nThynne's weary and worn toward midnight. The storm continued. Mr. Armstrong could neither advance nor retreat,\nnor could he wire for assistance, the telephone line being buried and out of commission. He wrapped his feet in gunny-\nsacks (improvised saowshoes) and started\nfor Princeton. The struggle of and for\nhis life then began. When he reached\nOtter Flat he was 'all in.' The stage\nbrought him down and after the usual\ninward remedies had been copiously\napplied he was soon able to talk politics\nand business.\nThe force and effect of the great storm\ndid not reach Princeton directly, but the\nabsence of mails for nearly a week told\nonly too well of damage and delay.\nThe Great Northern's western system\nis seriously deranged by flood and storm.\nThe daily express to Princeton was cancelled last Saturday, but turned up on\nSunday with a big mail and a lot of passengers.\nRAILWAY RUMBLINGS\nGood Progress Made All Along\nthe Line\u00E2\u0080\u0094Snow and Frost\nto Combat.\nOroville-Penticton Line to Build and\nC.P.R. Too\u00E2\u0080\u0094Tunnel will be\nRushed Ahead.\nRailroad contractors are making good\nprogress with the preliminary work of\nbuilding camps and laying down supplies. Good roads have favored hauling\nrails and equipment for construction.\nThere is snow all along the line, which\ndelays earth work, rock and tunnel contracts being least effected Once the\nground is in condition for pick and shovel\nuse 800 men will be employed on the 18\nmiles under contract.\nPrsss statements, outside, have been\ngiven currency to the effect that the 18\nmiles would be completed by July 1st..\nPractical men do not give much credence\nto this statement. It is known, however,\nthat the Great Northern is urging the\nwork along with all speed. The work is\nheavy and difficult, with three or four\nbridges and two tunnels. If the locomotive reaches Welldo station, 10 miles\nwest of Princeton, by the first of November, it will be good going.\nTh\u00C2\u00AB>following sub-coutractors are at\nF. Wilson, 3 miles ; W: McPhee,\nmile ; Jas. Welch, 3 miles ; Madden &\nHankinson, 4 miles. The remaining portion is soon to be sublet if not already\nso\nThe Oroville-Penticton line is being\nlocated-by Engineer Russell. This line\nis^bout 40 miles in length, and it is said\nwill be built this year, as it is comparatively easy building.\nIn the two weeks that have passed\nsince the steam shovel_ began r>n jhr approach to the tunnel in the western suburbs of thefow2 a large amount of earth\nhas been removed, which is beiug used\nto reclaim overflown ground. The tunnel proper is_i050 feet long and will take\nat least four months to complete working full time from both ends.\nIt is a matter of general report that\nthe C.P.R. will begin construction over\nHope mountains, via Coquihalla pass,\nthis year. .-\nWRITER IS BROAD-VIEWED.\nFrank Bailey of Merritt recently published an informative letter in the Merritt Herald containing some kindly references to Princeton. Mr. Bailey is\nbroadminded enough to praise other\ntowns, although his interests are centred\nmore particularly in another section. It\nis such generosity that counts in welding\nthe human family into a compact whole\ninstead of which one often sees the seeds\nof strife and discord sown between towns I\nand district. While it would not be cor-,\nrect to describe Mr. Bailey as an evangelist yet he may be said to be a missionary spreading the gospel of good will\nand harmonv.\nJKEW PAPER AT MERRITT.\nThe Nicola Valley News, published at\nMerritt, is the latest journalistic enterprise received and added to our exchange\nlist. It is Conservative in politics and\nbooster in principle. It looks healthy\nand bids fair to stay. Two newspapers\nm a town the size of Merritt must lead\nto awful competition and we look forward\nto a war of annihilation and the survival\nof the fittest.

He beard the Princeton\ncoal highly recommended by consumers\nat Oroville.\nGreenwood will have a new public\nbuilding for postoffice and customs. The\nlocation is on the site of the Pioneer\nhotel, Government street and the total\ncost will be about $20,000. The Liberal\nassociation of Greenwood is at last rewarded for its agitation in this behalf. If\nthey had not asked, they would not have\nreceived.\nJ. Peterson, of Grand Forks, is a visitor to Princeton.\nAt the Grand Lodge of the Orange\nAssociation held in Kamloops recently a\npolitical platform was adopted which\nwill be published soon. Rev. R.

With the development contingent upon railway construction\nand fulfilment of the policy of the\ngovernment there is no doubt that\nFinance Minister Bowser will have\nanother very encouraging statement\nto make next year.\n. THE ESTIMATES FOR 1910-11..\nIt will be a pleasure to.every taxpayer in the province, and to those\niu the Similkameen particularly, to\nread the budget speech of the Hon.\nW. J. Bowser, Minister of Finance.\nIt is evident that the Premier, instead of losing, has rather gained/\nin the resignation of his former\nfinance minister. The minister was\nnot only able to present dry facts\nin a lucid manner but he clothed\nhis figures with an eloquence which\nsmacked of the mighty Gladstone.\nAs a first effort in presenting a\nbudget Mr. Bowser has brought\ncredit to the McBride ministry and\nfulfilled the high expectations of\nhis political friends. With so favorable a beginning there is the\nhappy augury of continuance and\nof even still greater achievements\nin -his direction of the financial\naffairs of this great and growing\nprovince.\nOf course B.C. is now riding on\nthe crest of a wave of -prosperity\nand progress in common with all\nthe western provinces. This is due\nio the development of the west from\nits raw state to the cultivated and\nproducing stage. Development of\na country is largely the result of a\n-policy having origin with the government and endorsed by the people. Mr. Bowser was' enabled to\nmake a very favorable financial\nstatement by reason of the development of the country.\nDuring the nir.e months from\nJune 30, 1908 to March 31, 1909,\nthe public debt has been reduced by\n\u00C2\u00A3932,310. The surplus of net receipts, over expenditures during the\nsame period has been $920,000, cr\nif carried out proportionately for\nthe whole year would amount to\n$1,230,000. A very noteworthy-\nfact in connection with the estimates is the large increase in expenditure on public works. For\nthe Similkameen electoral district\nsome $20,000 in excess of last year's\nappropriation will be expended.\nNone but the 'prejudiced, brain\nwarped political partizan will try to\nto') Mr. Shatford of his full credit\nfir having obtained the magnificent\nsum stated. He has caused an outburst of applause from, not only\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 his supporters, but from others outside the pale of his party. 'Well\ndone, Shatford,' is the brief but\nwell deserved eulogium heard on\n. every side.\nlljjjS'Mr. Bowser has made a most\nsatisfactory statement both as to\nAPPROPRIATIONS NEEDED.\nIn the allocation of money for\nroads and bridges due regard must\nbe given to the necessities of the\nlocality and the value to the community of the improvements contemplated. In the evolution of the\nSimilkameen, first, was the pack\ntrail and fords ; second, roads and\nbridges ; third, the railway. Some\nseven or eight roads and two or\nthree trails now lead to Princeton\nfrom the various sections roundabout. All of these avenues of\ncommunication need more or less\nrepairing In Princeton, where the\nAshnola wagon road and Hope trail\nbegin, there is urgent need for\ngrading and improving this highway from its intersection witb\nthe Copper mountain road. In the\nspring it is almost impassable with\nmud and mire and in the summer\nit is a miniature Sahara from which\nrise great volumes of dust to envelop passers by and the houses in\ntheir path. Whoever the government road superintendent maybe\nthis year he will have this matter to\nreport upon along with other detai'.s\not improvements. As the town is\n.unincorporated and still a ward of\nthe government it has a legitimate\nright to a portion of the revenue\ncollected from it. The need ol\nimprovements will be felt more this\nyear than at any other period of its\nexistence, owing to the ,.general\nprogress and commercial expansion\nconsequent upon the arrival of the\nrailway. A boost from the government now will enable Miss Princeton to put ou airs of independence\nall the sooner and thus relieve the\ngovernment of its further care.\nProbably no division or section\nof the Similkameen- riding contributes more revenue than that of\nPrinceton district. Approximately\nsome $20,000 are annually derived\nfrom the timber, land, licenses,\ntaxes aud mineral resources. It is\nno question for argument as to the\namount of money to be refunded in\nappropriations. The broad principle has been established long ago\nthat a new. country is entitled to all\nits revenue minus cost of government. Star now pleads earnestly\nfor recognition of this principle in\nthe appropriations to be made for\nthis, section. Roads are required\nvery much for Whipsaw, Friday\nCreek, Roche River, North Fork\nof Granite, Upper Tulameen, Summit and to the international boundary via the P. sayton river. As in\nthe past reliance is placed on the\ngood judgment of Mr. Shatford to\ndo the 'right thing' with each section.\nDrink and Enjoy\npill fieoi\nlifter SCIICSS jjjg\nI gfl None Better\nj P.
