Heed of Customs Sub Port of Entry as at Hedley Again. Emphasized —Board Eulogized. The regular meeting of the board of trade was held last Monday night in the court house. Communications were read from the Hon. Frank Oliver, minister of the interior, re land in the railway help Several letters were received asking for' maps, information about the district, etc., all of which were replied to by the secretary. Oa request of Great Northern Passenger Agent at Seattle ago maps of Steamboat and trail to it were sent him. Accounts: For printing maps, advertising and descriptive letterpress, $15 ; Heaton's Agency, .32 ; Similkameen Star, printing, $2.75 ; A. E. Howse Co., gasoline, $2 50 ; all accounts ordered paid. Board's Big Boost. The board expressed regret at the departure of Vice-President Murdock and Secretary Groffman, both valued and reg ular attendants. The secretary made use of the opportunity to remark that he knew of no institution which offered tlje helpful advantages for progress that the board did and all that Princeton and district had received in public improvements and expenditures for the general good could be traced to its origin in the board of trade. It was deserving of much better support than it was receiving at present. K. C._Brown was unanimously elected secretary for remainder of term. The board was pleased to informally discuss the celebration of King George's birthday ou Friday, June 2nd, members, expressing loyal sentiments and recommending to citizens generally early consideration of the proposal. Two New Members. On motion C. V. Semerad and P.JJL Gregory Ns^ere elected membe'rs~of the board. President Lumsden reported having pressed upon M. J. Costello, Great Northern official, the necessity for a telephone at the railway station. He was informed that the phone\\ could be installed thefOTOr"^ the convenience of the public on condition that the apmpany be at no expense in connection therewith. The board entrusted the m_tter with the President who will endeavor to arrange for this great convenience and economizer of time and patience. Consideration of the well nigh intolerable nuisance resulting from delay and inconvenience caused by the absence of a customs sub port of/entry in Princeton was again before~-Hfe board with an instance cited. ** While unpledged to any definite action and being somewhat outside of its sphere of usefulness, the board fully recognized the importance of a citizens' brass band. It was generally conceded that a band would give tone to the town and prove a great attraction^. O__j£^_>-u-- 1^.- Owing to the small attemJSnce, seven members, a resolution favoring reciprocity with the United States was not put. Board adjourned. HEAVY COSTS AGAINST'SUNSET Judgment was handed dowjii-n the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon giving ;costs against the defendants in the recent libel action brought.ags_nst Messrs.Ford & McConnell, proprietors and publishers of the Vancouyer~Saturday Sunset by J.

The first game of baseball this season was played last Sunday at Granite Creek between the Otter Flat and Granite-Coal- mont teams, the score standing 5 to 3 in favor of the home team. The batteries Rash and Humer for Granite and Clerf and Henderson for Otter Flat showed stamina and precision, while many snapy plays were made by the teams generally. What the boys lost in hockey they hope to make good on the diamond—boys are all right. What about the Princeton ball aggregation this year ? Miss C.

PRINCETON BRASS BAND. Editor Star.—Sir: If rurndrs prove true, the people of Princeton^will soon be ableVo^ft on their v. ranrlaa and listen to the music of the band. For the past three years Princeton has possed sufficient musical talent to organize a band but not until the arrival of H. Rainbow from Greenwood a month ago~___ any Interest beTntakefTTnu. Mj\\ Rainbow, who is an experienced bandsman, and player on drums and clarinet, has already induced some of theboys to send for an instrument. Len Huston shonld soon learn the clarineff Geddes Lyall with an alto, and wlien Charlie Semerad blows into a double B Bass stand clear of the bell end. Tohn Knudson has volunteered to beat the drums. Eric Anderson should master the eiyjhonium quickly. Ralph Murdock prefers tenor while Melville Waddell goes down to Tuba. There is yet a number to be consulted. The experienced talent available are Billy Knight who can cut the air with a piccolo, Oswald Coulthard, an experienced bandsman, ist cornet?- Sam Gibson, also an experienced bandsman, and solo cornetist. John Nathan, B flat cJaitQgt- With proper organization and training this combined talent should in a few months play any popular music. Yours truly, Musicai, Observer. Princeton, B. C, May 2nd. 1911. [Music is an indispensable feature of the age. In one form or another it is found at every turn and all admit the pleasure it affords. As there is talent in Princeton it would be unworthy of citi zens to neglect support of the proposed brass band. About $200 will be required to put the band on a playing basis. As they say in Rome : 'Bis dat qui cito dat' —he that gives promptly gives- twice.—Ed.1 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR May 3, 1911. The Similkameen Star. A. E. Howse.

The China'^Famine Relief Committee, of which the Governor- General is patron, has addressed a circular to editors throughout the Dominion asking their cooperation in an appeal for help for the famine stricken provinces of Anhui and Kiangsu where nearly three million people are perishing. One Dollar and Fifty Cents will Save a Human Iyife ! The next crop will not be available for these dying Chinese before the ist of July, the last crop having been destroyed by flood. Believing in that charity which knows no difference between the white and colored races and recognizing the brotherhood of all mankind many will gladly give to allay that mighty wail of suffering coming from China. Chinamen have already contributed liberally from Princeton and small amounts from whites were sent to Vancouver but the present one is a national appeal to raise one hundred thousand dollars. Money may be sent direct to the Treasurer, S. J. Moore, 445 King St, W., Toronto, or if sent through the Star will be acknowledged in its columns. The enemies of progress and reciprocity are saying 'let well enough alone, Canada is prosperous now.' A good business man will not content himself with staying in a rut but is ever on the alert to expand _iis trade. He knows that trade begets trade and the more and freer outlets there are correspondingly will be the increase of revenue and profits. Free trade courts competition and glories in the survival of only those who are worthy and fit. Protection pampers the few to the hurt of the many ; it makes a few wealthy monopolists at the expense of the consumers and it destroys the liberty of the subject to buy in the cheapest market. If Canadians are not competent to compete with the world protection will never make them able. World wide free trade is a little in advance of the times, it may be, but it must come if the leading English speaking nations adopt it. Russia is the home of despotism and Italy gave birth to the black- handers. British Columbians have always taken a worthy pride in giving every man a 'square deal' and anything that savors of despot ism or black hand methods is not .tolerated. One" of the dangers of large majorities in legislatures is the tendency to domineer and set up lordly authorityfby some unbalanced minister. Nothing in social or political life, coiild be more distasteful than the^SeTt importance of some upstart, who lacking the characteristics of a gentleman, seeks to stamp his presence on all with whom he comes in t°uch. Tyr- rany belongs to the dark ages. In this province no man can be condemned unheard and no man can be dismissed from the public service on the sayso of any accuser without the opportunity of defence. That is fair play and justice. Here is a sample of some of the vicious things printed by editors who are weak mentally and morally : 'Telling the truth is not always wise. Those who adhere to this policy invariably die in the poor house.' As it prosperity were contingent on lying and that truth telling tended to poverty. This is depravity with a vengeance and is enough to cause the blush of shame on all truth loving persons for the man who could write such stuff. What of the many prosperous business concerns whose owners are the embodiment of truth, honor and uprightness, and' who are the respected of any community or nation, the liars or-the truth tellers ? Spring with all its rejuvenating and quickening influences is here— Princeton is growing naturally and healthy.'.W K. C. BROWN Barrister and Solicitor Notary Public, Etc. PRINCETON, - B.C.
