His firm, one of the largest\nearth moving concerns in the world, has\nrecently been awarded the contract for\nbuilding the remaining portions of the\nroad. The summit of Hope mountains\nis not yet under contract, there being two\nroutes available and under expert consideration, but it is quite probable the above\nfirm will get it.\nMr. Welch was accompanied by R.

The uncompleted section is not considered by prai \u00E2\u0080\u0094\ntical men, who know the country, as\nseriously difficult, which with a reasonable push ought to permit of through\ntrains being run to Vancouver by the 1st\nJanuary, 1912. Following are some particulars taken from the Vancouver Province relating to the contracts recently\nlet :\nConstruction of the V.,V. & E. railway I\nfrom Abbotsford to Hope, a distance of\napproximately 50 miles, will be in full\nswing within the next month, or at least\nas soon as the contractor can get his outfits on the ground. Information to this\neffect was secured in connection, with the\nannouncement that the contract for the\nbuilding of this stretch of the road which\nis to link the coast with the Kootenay\nand Boundary districts had been awarded\nto Mr. P. Welch of Spokane.\nIncorporated in the contract is a clause\nto the effect that, all things being equal,\nall supplies to be used in connection with\nconstruction shall be bought in British\nColumbia. The Vancouver board of\ntrade has been notified of the existence\nof this stipulation in tbe contract.\nThe contract was let from the head\noffices of the Great Northern railway in\nerally known, a subsidiary company of\nthe former railway. Coast officials of the\nGreat Northern were yesterday afternoon\nnotified of the awarding of the contract.\nMr. Welch is a member of the contracting firm of Foley, Welsh & Stewart,\nwhich is now engaged on Grand Trunk\nPacific construction work from Prince\nRupert eastward. The same firm built\nthe existing line of the V.V. & E. from\nMarcus, Wash., in Princeton, a distance\nof approximately 500 miles\nThe amount of money involved in the\ncontract was not given out for publication, but it is known that none of the\nwork between Abbotsford and Hope will\nbe costly owing to the generally level\nnature of the country traversed, practi\ncally all of it being flat benches flanking\nthe Fraser river. It is expected that this\nsection of the railway will be finished\nnext September.\nIt was generally understood that the\ncontract for the construction of 18 miles\nof railway from Princeton to Otter Flat,\non the Coldwater river east of Hope pass,\nwould be awarded at the time the work\nbetween Abbotsford and Hope was let,\nbut no word of this is contained in the\nmessage from St. Paul.\nThe news has been confirmed that the\nconstruction of the V.,V. & E. will be\ncarried on simultaneously from both\nends, Princeton and Abbotsford. The\nfirm of J^ W. Stewart 8& Co. has been\nawarded the contract to build the V.,V.\n& E. to Otter plat, a distance ot 18 miles\nfrom Princeton, and the same firm, which\nis identical with Foley, Welch & Stewart,\nwill build from Abbotsford to Hope, a\ndistance of 57 miles. West from Hope\ngrading will begin as soon as at other\npoints.\nPBINCETON LOOKS GOOD TO\nVISITING PIONEEB.\nA. E. Howse of Nicola, arrived in town\nlast Thursday on his annual inspection\ntrip, covering his large mercantile, real\nestate, mineral, lands and newspaper interests. He is pleased with ttie evidences\nof progress and the very substantial\nincrease in the A. E. Howse Co's business during the past year. The Company\nexpects a much larger increase of business this year and will supplement their\nalready large warehousing facilities with\na new building near the railroad station.\nSome important changes in the Co's\naffairs are contemplated, but not on account of the personnel here who have\ngiven every satisfaction to the public and\nMr. Howse. He left for the coast via\nSpokane yesterday.\nGENEBAL NEWS.\nPremier McBride has received, a cable\nfrom London stating that Joseph Martin\nformer premier of B.C., bad been elected\nfor East St. Pancras.

It is not\nlikely, nor would it be reasonable,\nthat any opposition will develop in\nthe railway committee of the house\n\u00C2\u00A9f commons against said extension,\nseeing that President Hill has produced the evidence of completed\nline in proof of his bona fide intention to carry out the terms of the\noriginal charter and build through\nto the coast. Insistence must, however, be made regarding the short\nlimitation of time to be given. It\nis too bad that the time and opportunities of the inhabitants of the\nSimilkameen, as well as of thousands of investors, should be frittered away in waiting upon slow\nconstruction and completion of this\nroad to the coast. At the rate of\nconstruction from Midway to\nPrinceton, some four or five years\nfor about 140 miles, it would at least\nbe 1915 before trains would be running to the coast. Two years are\nample in which to build the remaining link between Princeton and\nAbbotsford, a distance of about 140\nmiles. Mr. Burrell, M.P., will, no\ndoubt, urge the limitation of time\nmentioned and thus ward off deadly\ndelay, which has had such injurious\n^effect in the past five years.\nclfmate and productivity of the soil\nare bound to induce men with\nindependent means to locate here\nfor the mere inherent pleasure,\ncomfort and healthfulness to be\nderived from them. It will be possible then for the coast business\nman of means to escape the prevalent rains and fogs every week end\nand hie away to the sun kissed\nSimilkameen.\nBECIPBOCITY BETWEEN VANCOUVER AND PBINCETON.\nThe Vancouver daily papers are.\nat last, beginning to awaken to the\nfact that there is such a place as\nPrinceton and a Similkameen district. Scarcely an issue of these\nwell edited, enterprising newspapers without some article or reference to this country and the railway now -about to link Vancouver\nwith it. Within five hours' run of\nPrinceton over the V., V. & E.\nwhen completed Vancouver will\nprofit with an immensity far beyond\nany present speculation. The tourist and com-cercial traffic that will\nspring up between the two places\nwill more than justify any effort to\npromote harmony and goodwill between them and the early completion of the road. Two totally different climates, wet and dry, and\nthe varying scenic grandeurs of sea\narid mountain will produce a great\npassenger traffic. Further, the\nNOTES AND COMMENTS. J\nRegarding the attitude of the\nHedley | Gazette in saying that\ncunceton was ' inclined to favor\nthe idea of making the (Hedley)\nhospital a district institution ' there\nis evidently some misunderstanding.\nPreliminary steps were taken several months ago toward the construction of a hospital in Princeton,\na site for which has already been\ndonated by the Vermilion Forks\nCo. All success is wished Hedley\nin its laudable ambition to have a\n'district institution' but the Gazette\nsurely will not complain if Princeton carries out its project, to do\nwhich will require the utmost of\nits resources and energy besides\ngovernmental assistance.\nG L.

No intelligent person in this part of the country cares\nfor Bruce's praise or denunciation.\nIf he wants to accomplish any good\nand useful purpose toward building\nup and developing the country it\ncannot be done by knocking contemporaries and lamenting because\nelectors did not take his advice in\nthe recent elections. It is hoped\nBruce will yet see the error of his\nway and be constructive instead of\ndestructive. May it be suggested\nthat instead of wasting space in\nuseless controversy both Sunset\naud Star join in a boost of the\ncountry generally and the Similkameen in particular.\nIn the present year Princeton\nwill have many things to attend to\nwhich concern the welfare of tbe\ntown and district. Harmonious\nwork of the citizens in all that pertains to progress is necessary. A\ndivided house cannot stand, nor\ncan a divided community. Where\nthere is a seeming clash of interests\nthe spirit of compromise and honorable arbitrament should prevail.\nIt may even happen that self efface-\nment will be necessary to avoid sectionalism-and rivalry.
