800,000,000 tons of superior coal in Princeton basin.
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
Enormous hydro-electric power in the swift running rivers and streams in and about Princeton—Coal» ore and placer mining industries, when
developed, will require many thousands of worfclngmen—Climate is perfect; doctors subsidized by provincial government; no graveyard.

SCHOOL HOUSE TOO SMALL.
A petition addressed to the trustees of
Princeton school district is being circulated among parents and taxpayers "in
which prayer is made for a larger school
building. It is pointed out that the insufficiency of air space in the building
now used for twenty-five scholars is a
menace to health. The signatories ask
that the trustees will proceed with due
haste in the matter so that a proper
schooi house may be provided by the end
of the summer vacation. The necessity
for a larger building is readily noticed
by a visit to the school during a session,
the close, vitiated atmosphere and the
accommodation being strongly in evidence. Provision must be made in the
proposed building for a rapid increase of
school population due to the onward
tread of civilization and the approach of
the railway.
SEEING THE COUNTRY.
Price Ellison, M.P.P., and J. C. Camp
bell, of Vernon, arrived in Princeton
Thursday morning from Otter Flat
They drove from Vernon via Grande
Prairie and Nicola to Aspen Grove where
they are interested in a group of mining
claims of which the celebrated Copper
Standard is chief. They have unbounded
faith in the Grove as a mining camp. Its
only drawback for the time being is lack
of transportation, which they think will
soon be supplied by the C.P.R. Mr. Ellison was in Princeton many years ago.
He sees many changes, but the beauty of
the place remains as of yore. "Great
country ! Mineral everywhere : I have
always believed since the first day I saw
it that a splendid future was in store for
it," ejaculated Mr. Ellison as he turned
over some attractive mineral specimens
and asked to be given one of red paint.
He is one of the big land lords of the
Okanagan and can't help being a mil
lionaire with the demand for small fruit
holdings still increasing. In the legislature he sits to the right of Mr. Speaker
but is an independent Liberal Conservative, so much so that he often gives the
premier a bad spell of nervous prostration when he touches on certain railway
questions. Mr. Campbell may establish
4 a business here a little later.
INMATES FOR A ZOO.
J. Gray and A. Allison captured four
coyote pups recently which they intend
to make pets of and train for their own
amusement, They know where there is
a quarry of about a dozen or more which
they may be able to dispose of at good
prices. Dr. Cecil French, naturalist, of
Washington, D.C., advertises for grizzly
and white bear cubs, inland white bears,
marten, otter, beaver, goats, wild swans,
geese, cranes and other wild animals and
birds. The coyote might look well in a
zoological park but he is certainly no
attraction here except for a bullet.

FREE TRADE IN RAILWAYS.
It is an indication of the high
appreciation of the resources of
. Princeton district when the railway
. king of the continent invests at
: a close estimate $100,000 in land
' in this section. No greater recommendation could be given Princeton
than the fact of these large invests
ments having been made by one
; who has had all kinds of experts
and specialists on the ground to
report on those resources. The
. far sighted President of the Great
Northern by purchasing now does
it more cheaply than he would a
-year later and he also lays the
' foundation for future tonnage out
of his possessions. There are people who knock Mr. Hill's enterprise and are jealous of his success.
They shout "Canada for the Canadians" and rave because of their
impotence to despoil him of his
wealth. So far as President Hill is
concerned he has shown more loyalty to Canada in the development
and upbuilding of it than all his
narrow-minded detractors combined.
American capital is equally as good
and just as welcome as any other in
the development of the Princeton
district.
It must be gratifying to the people of Canada to see President Hill,
a citizen of the United States, investing millions of money in the
country. He has set a splendid
■example of enterprise and public-
spiritedness which might well be
copied by Canadian railway magnates and corporation. How different his policy to that of some
bonus-hunting Canadian railway
presidents who have bled the people white that they might swell the
coffers of their companies. Not
content with a large cash bonus
these rapacious gentlemen ask for
and get land grants which they
never earned; they make use of
threats to frighten municipal cor
porations and governments into
giving them freedom from taxation
for as many as twenty years ; they
always have a beggar standing at
the door of parliament asking some
favor or concession for their hungry company. President Hill has
never asked a dollar from the people of Canada. He offers to spend
$30,000,000 in developing.the coun
try west of Winnipeg to the coast
if parliament will only grant him
the ordinary privileges without any
subsidy. He has already ordered
26,000 tons of steel rails from Canadian rolling mills which could
as well have been procured in his
own country. Yet some monopolistic and hireling newspapers are
always busy trying to persuade the
public that Mr. Hill is going to rob
Canada of its trade and divert it
south of the international boundary line.
If there is a market for Canadian
produce south of the international
line Mr. Hill is the man to haul it
as cheaply as anybody. There is
a possibility of the V., V. & E.;
going to the coast through Washington as it has to be constructed
and operated on a business basis.
The grades as at present known in
Hope mountains can be bettered
and for about fifty miles beyond
that range there is not enough tonnage in prospect to pay for axle
grease that distance. Under those
conditions it would not be surprising if the line went south into
Washington where there is tonnage
all the way. All the knocker press
would howl if the line should deviate. These knocker-graft newspapers see no harm in Canadian
railroads going after trade into
American territory but it is all
wrong when an American road
dares to enter Canada in competition with existing systems and bid
for traffic.
It would be the maddest act of
man to put a straw in the way of
Mr. Hill's great undertaking.
Every industry in the country will
benefit by the inflow of this foreign
capital. If Canada cannot, for the
time being, have free commercial
trade, it can in lieu thereof at least
have free trade in railways.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Some malicious attacks have been
made on the member for Yale-
Cariboo by one or two of the more
rabid partizan press. He is charged
with various sins of omission and
commission which have no foundation in fact. It is alleged that he
has neglected the interests of his
constituents by not replying to certain correspondence. Mr. Ross has
won golden opinions from many
independent sources for the energy
and promptitude with which he has
conducted legislative' matters affecting his constituency. The telephone line, improved mail service
and important railway legislation
are all due to the tact and perseverance of Mr. Ross. The extension
of the telephone line to Copper
mountain and the Boundary was
not deemed advisable at the time
they were asked for and time has
justified the advice given the department.
It is the duty of the game ward
ens and justices of the peace in this
section to see that offenders of
the game laws are promptly dealt
with. Reports of deer slaughter
for bear bait and grouse for baiting
small traps are common.
