A»^^VWM/WWVWVWrWVVWVl^WrVVV\\ < 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. RO VINCI AL ELECTION Local Legislature to be Dissolved at Once and Appeal iTade to the County Next Month == "Better Terms" will be Issue. Ife BOARD OF TRADE Meeting on Thursday Night Fairly Well Attended— Bueiness Done. 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 ! ^ How about heavy underwear this cold weather?

Mr. Newmarch, of Kamloops, takes Mr. Kydd's place here. The Congressional and State elections which were held in 42 States of the Union last week resulted in the election of the entire Democratic ticket in the State of New York with the exception of the Governorship. Hearst, the Democratic nominee, was defeated by Chas. E. Hughes, Republican, by a majority of 50,000. A most important mining deal was consummated last week when F. H. Lantz, acting for local jand eastern capital, took up an option held by him, and made a substantial payment on the coal measures 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-, bell, Cowan, Schon, and Kennedy^we?!!* appointed to wait on Mr. Watterman. of the Nicola Valley Coal and Iron Co.,]. It was moved by Mr. Cam-pbe which is corr/posed, of Messrs. F. L Carter-Cotton, C F. Law, Evans, Coleman & Evans, William Armstrong, and Steve Tingley. 1 onded and carried, that the Board of Trade adjourn to the first Thursday in March, and that the election of new officers be deferred until that date. The meeting then adjourned. m \\l THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR November 17, 1906 The Similkameen Star Published Weekly at PRINCETON, B.C -by- November 17. 1906 The Princeton Publishing Co. B.

COAL LAND MANIPULATORS Uunder date of Nov. 8 the Nicola Herald publishes editorially the following article: "The attention they can transact business within the borders of the Province, and produce coal, and their books are subject to inspection every three grafting friends to the public treasury. What we need is a government elected by the people for the people, men of strong and unchallenged character who will fearlessly administer justice to all classes, favoring none. British Columbia has suffered too long at the hands of weak-kneed governments. What we require is a L,ib- ments. What we require is a Lib- months by the Government agent, eral administration to drag us out to whom a sworn statement must of the mire and put us on a sound be made. fltiH a *av "f i Subscribe for the Star be made, and a tax of five cents per ton paid to the Government for every ton of coal mined. This protects the small stockholders, as every one interested whether he be - tvcij one interested whether he be of tbe readers of the Nicola Herald the owner of 10,000 shares or only and all interested in th* ™r«ifa«. 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 the exercise of that most cherished privilege of a free and untrammeled doing, and there is no possible wav £„'HI"JS-M<1 ??l'TTM of the company adopting, with any s'eetat I S1 I *£ 't^^ success, a "freeze-niir" o-amA t>l_ whirli cfanHo JVKSCi , K . } I success, a "freeze-out" game. The Government being an interested party much more protection is afforded the small investor than- in any other country. Without going into the question of how far these provisions of the law are a protection to the small shareholder, we which stands for the people and the people's rights and all will be well. uuu tu me small shareholder, we Company', whose president was S. content ourselves with pointing out Andrew Hartman, and its vice- that the company referred to has rpr Tr*h n T «_ 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 into believing that the company is incorporated under the laws of this Province." ^^^^^^ .The Colonist article referred to J the affairs of this §| ARTISTIC Toilet Ware •T-OILET WARE in artistic * abundance is pictured in the pages of our Catalogue.

News not yet taken the step toward complying with the law." 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.

JOHN M. SMITH. Princeton, Sept. 15th, 1900. 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.
