RAILWAY COLLISION
C. P. R. Trains Mix It Up
Near Kamloops with Fatal Results.

<
One Person Killed and a Score Injured—Bluejackets Chief Occupants of Train.
A fatal collision occurred early Tuesday morning on the C. P. R. nine miles
east of Kamloops in which one person
was killed and some seventeen more or
less injured. From what can be learned it
appears thai,the east bound passenger
train with Jack Tars on board from Esquimau, collided with another train on a
side track, with the result above stated.
SHORTAGE OF COAL.
j
The present shortage of coal, due to
the existing strike of coal miners in the
Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co.'s collieries, in'
Bast Kootenay, now in the seventh week,,
is beginning: to effect the Great Northern
railway, as well as the Trail anrj North-
port smelters, and othe: smelters to some'
extent, says the Phoenix Pioneer. The
Great Northern bas,,it is said, thousands
of tons of eastern coke on the road for
the Granby smelter, that it finds the
greatest difficulty to haul, on account of
shortage of steam coal. In addition,
there are thousands of cars of general
merchandise tied up all over the system
for the same reason. The coal now being
used comes from Sand Coulee, Montana,
but it is poor and there is not enough of
it.

NEW ELECTION LAW.
A late despatch from Ottawa says:
The speech from the Throne at the opening of Parliament on Nov 22, in addition
to reference to the intended tariff revision and an amendment to the Insurance
Act, will promise the introduction of
such legislation as experience has proved
necessary for the perfection 6f the Canada election law. The act, as proposed,
will certainly include clauses of the most
drastic character and penalties for infraction which even the most unscrupulous party workers will hesitate before incurring. Iftheviewof the special committee of last session prevails one feature
will be a clause requiring every qualified
voter to record a ballot in parliamentary
elections on penalty of disfranchisement
for a term of years. This may meet the
case of the man who hasn't time to vote
unless one of the candidates makes it
worth his while.
The expected has happened. McBride journeyed to Ottawa, not to
seek better terms for British Columbia, but rather in search of an election
cry, and he found it. After playing the part of a spoiled child and refusing
to act the part of a statesman, he returns to British Columbia with a high
and lofty air, and is hailed by the Conservative press as a veritable hero.
Haying succeeded*WWirs"rittle scheme, at the expense of the Province, he
now intimates that he will go to the country with the "Better Terms"
motto as the main battle cry.
Although it has not as yet b&en officially announced, the rumor is we.l
authenticated, and the Victoria Week, a paper influenced by Mrs. Jimmy
Anderson,.the woman who is weM known to be in close touch with members of the Cabinet, under date oBNoy. 10th, publishes the following item
bearing on the question: "The Iflberal press has been predicting a Provincial election at any time during this fall. The Colonist said to-day that it
would probably occur within the next six months. The WeeK. ventures a
prediction that an official announcement will be made in less than three
day's, and that the election will taSe place within a mouth thereafter."
The Vancouver Woild further strengthens the rumor hy publishing a
Victoria despatch of'the 10th inst, which reads: "It is semi-officially stated
that the dissolution of the Provincial House will be announced next Wednesday, and thut the elections will take place about the middle of Decern-.'
her, the faithful having been notified to stand ready."
The campaign may now be considered to be on and it is the duty of every
Liberal and every lover of a good and honest Government to muster and
stand shoulder'to shoulder in the coming fight for the people's rights and
overthrow the gang of looters that hold sway at the Capital. British Columbia will.no longer stand for a Government that is advised and dictated
to by.such a band of adventurers as the Mrs. Jimmy Anderson combination.
When election day comes an opportunity will be afforded to show where
the electors stand in this matter. Liberals, get in line and do your duty !

Important Motions Proposed and
• Passed re Wellfare of Town-
Adjourns Till March.
The regular annual meeting of the
Princeton Board of Trade was held last
nightat 8 o'clock in the Court House.
Owing to the absence, of President Waterman Vice-President Schon occupied the
chair, with the following members present: Messrs. Campbell, Lyal, Murdoch,
Cowan, aud A. E. Jackson.
Messrs. Cook and B. S. Kennedy were
proposed and elected members of the
Board.
Secretary A. E. Jackson read the minutes of the last'meeting which were
-adopted. i^Li?
The treasurer, H. Cowan' regorted on
the financial condition of the Board,
showing that there were some fifteen
members, and that the funds on hand
amounted to $3.95, outstanding accounts,
$7, and arrears $32.75. The report was
adopted and it was moved and' seconded
that those in arrears be notified and requested to pay up at once.
Mr. Cook moved, seconded by Mr. Murdoch, that the Board draw up a resolution asking the Government, through
Mr. Shatford, M.P.P., to take in hand
the grading and gravelling of the princi- '
pal streets. Considerable discussion followed, it being questioned whether the-
Government would see their way clear to
expend money for such work in a town
owned hy a private corporation. However, Mr. Cook stated he had made in-'
quiries along this line and was informed
that it was within the power of the Government to do the work, and he felt sure
the lequest would be granted.
Taking into consideration the fact that
an election was near at had it was looked '
upon by the Board as a most propitious
time to ask favors at the hand of the
Government, the motion was passed
unanimously.
While on the theme of street improvements it was moved and seconded that a
committee be appointed to wait on Mr.
Waterman, resident manager of the
township company, to ntge upon him
the immediain necessity of doing something in the way of sidewalk building.
It was pointed that the streets were in a
disgraceful condition and attention
should be given this matter at once. The
motion was carried arid Messrs^Camp-,

and all interested in the welfare of
the district is called to an editorial
comment from the Colonist which
appears on this page. This company, so called, is, the Herald believes, a product of the united misdirected energies of two Portland
worthies, whose operations on a local coal property has already been
criticised in these columns. This
property was held by a company
termed 'The Nicola Coal and Coke
—— j
100 shares has the right to know at
all times just what the company is
and lasting financial footing. What
the Liberals have done for Canada
as a whole they will do for British
Columbia, and J. A. Macdonald,
the Provincial head of the party, a
man of acknowledged ability and
sound common sense, is the man to
do it. When the time arrives for

president and manager, John Lamont. In these columns some time
back the Herald drew attention to
the guile used by these men in offering shares in that company to
the public and to the statements
made in a most flowery prospectus
which was issued by them. In an
interview with a coast paper representative, John Lamont, in the beginning of the year, made the statement: 'In my home city are four
different companies holding interests in the Nicola Valley, besides
several individuals. We are about
to organize a strong development
company to acquire and consolidate
all these varied interests.' Evidently the consolidation has taken
place and under the name of the
British Columbia Amalgamated
Coal Company has acquired the interests of the aforesaid four companies besides the several individuals. But, in the flowery advertisement of Owen J. B. Yearsley nothing whatever is said about development. Not only is this company
not incorporated under Provincial
laws but it holds no title on the
lands which it so enthuses over.
* * * Here is a company trying to foist, what under present
conditions, are worthless shares, on
an unsuspecting public, and under
the cloak of a reference to the mining laws of the Province, endeavor
to mislead and cajole their dupes

incorporated under the laws of this
Province." ^^^^^^

We take it for granted that tbe
Colonist and the Herald know what
the}' are talking about when they
charge the British Columbia Ama-
gamated Coal Company with such
a serious offence as obtaining
money under what is practically
false pretences. If this company is
doing business and selling shares to
the unsuspecting public in a company that is not properly registered
under tbe laws of the Province, it
seems to us that it is up to the Government to take action in the matter and protect the public from such
unscrupulous fakirs. If a Provincial law is not being complied with
it is only fair to presume that the
Provincial authorities have a remedy, and if that remedy is not applied it should be. A government
is supposed to make and enforce
laws in the interests and for the
protection of the public. When
it fails in this its usefulness is gone.
Unfortunately for the people of
British Columbia they have at the
helm a government that has long
since forfeited its right to the con
fidence of the people, a government
that has shown its preference for
grafters, male and female, and lent
itself to the furtherance of schemes
to do the public out of their just
rights. We say the present government, "the first Conservative
government British Columbia ever

HON. W. S. FIELDING
Re-Elected for Queen's and
Shelburne After Hot
Contest.
Conservative Candidate Completely
Snowed Under—Attempt to District Minister Fails.
After one of the most strenous fights in
the history cf political contests in Nova
Scotia. Hon. W. S. Fielding was re-elected in Queen's and Shelburne on Wednesday, Oct. 31st, by an overwhelming
majority, and Dr. Weldon, who was
forced upon the constituency by a faction
of malcontents in Halifax, who have
been pursuing the Minister for two years,
■'£i$j?: barely escaped with his deposit. Mr.
Fielding had a majority of 1,026 in a total vote of scarcely 4,000. The total vote
• was: Fielding, 2.529; Weldon, 1,503.
The electors of Queen's and Shelburne
resented the campaign of slander and
misrepresentation conducted by the Tory
partv. They have vindicated Mr. Fielding, and in honoring him they have
honored themselves.
Mr. Fielding asked for a free, untrammelled verdict, and the Liberal party of
the riding content themselves with the
reflection that everything possible was
done by them to prevent violations of
the law. The campaign proves also that
unless armed as of yore with all human
devices the Tory party cannot- hope to
win elections, and to a large extent it is
corroborative of the statement made by
the Toronto News that fully ten thousand dollars was spent in 1904 in the endeavor to compass Mr. Fielding's defeat.
MARRIAGE CENSORSHIP.
' A late Chicago despatch says: We<
ding bells will ring only for those happy
young persons who succeed in passing a
btate inspection test it the ideas of the
American Stock Breeders' Associatior
are carried out. The association has
turned for the moment from the consideration of cattle, sheep, and hogs to the
culture of hogs, and it will be the ultimate business of the Committee of Eugenics, just appointed, to keep an eye
out for ill-mated pairs. A marriage censorship may result if the inspection idea
provej practicable.
Professor Charles R. Henderson of the
University of Chicago Sociology Department, is a member of the committae, of
which Dr. Alexander Graham Bell is
chairman.
The immediate object of the committee
is to spread information in regard to.the
ill effects of the marriage of defective
persons. Insane persons, confirmed
drunkards and moral degenerates are to
be restrained in colonies and kept from
marrying.
THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR
Rev. A. J. Fowlie, Presbyterian minister stationed in Princeton about a year
ago, and now of Coldwater, was shot last
week in the leg while duck hunting on
Georgian Bay.
Princeton is rather a difficult place for
a Chinaman to reach from Midway. The
proprietor of a hotel in that town sent
here for a cook. The Chinaman engaged
commenced his long journey by stage,
but when it reached the point where the
road enters the U. S. to avdid the mountain, of course the Chinaman had to get
off, as he was not anxious to be captured
and deported. The only way to catch
the stage again on Canadian soil was to
take an atl-uight trip on foot and alone
over the mountain, which he started out
to do. Whether he made the trip in
safety or not we have not heard.—Midway Star. The Chinaman in question
reached here last Saturday apparently
none the worse for bis somewhat strange
experience.
