Grading Well Advanced and the Rails Coming Along—Night Shifts I'LVi" E on Duty. Chief Engineer. Hogeland of the. Gt, Northern recently stated at Vancouver that he had two,'survey parties at Work in the Hope mountains and he was sure a revised survey would secure a grade of one per cent on westbound and two per cent on eastbound traffic. He said there was nothing insurmountable about the. Hope mountains, as some people supposed.. >"fi Eg A' bridjje^on jtoe, y.iV, & E. between. Keremeos and Orovrlle was destroyed by fire on Monday. A train in attempting to pass over it while burning caught fire, no serious damage being done. Night shifts are at work on some of the larg^cnts to prevent any possible delay to tracklaying. The traclcis reported to be two days ahead of schedule time. BOAgiDSW TRAJ)E REPORTS UNSATISFACTORY. The annual reports of the Vancouver and Victoria boards of trade have been received. They contain a lot-of information about their respective cities and devote several pages to the far away gold fields of Ingenicka and the north. But the Similkameen, which is only 150miles from Vancouyer, has vast resources,' and is, by the law of natural trade route tributary tq both Victoria and .Vancou- . *K(. '':■ > ver, receives no attention whatever. It is this self-sufficieEt air of public bodies .and daily newspapers at the coast which tend to alienate the interior districts from Vancouver and Victoria. In the struggle which is now going ojn for the development! of the Similkameen and the early railway connection with the seaboard, a little outside .encouragement . and attention would be^appreciated and remembered. This cold indifference will drive trade»frQjp the coast toothet places, even thoug§ they be foreign. KNIGHT OF QUILL SEES AND DOES THINGS. J. P. McConnell, 'Bruce,' of the Saturday Sunset, and-Wife, arrived yesterday from Vancouver via the Hope mountains. Mr. McConnell is one of the leading journalists of the -province and -in his bold and fearless way has done much to rectify grievances and wrongs. He wields the only untrammelled pen iu Vancouver, exposing .graS^and all other ills, political, social and commercial. In recent issues he is making good by exposing fallacies with reference to railway construction across Hope mountains and by actual reconnaisance of some of the passes he is in a position to ward off the effects of ah antagonistic press element who favor C.P.R. monopoly. The Sunset is a free lance and a most welcome instrument in tbe cure of public ills. ATTENTION DIRECTED TO SIMILKAMEEN. R Fitzgerald arrived back from Spokane last^week where he had gone for a short holiday. He had manyvinquiries about the Similkameen and particularly about the time the railway would be at Princeton. ..'.Fitz' is n<>t the man to let the opportunity slip for doing a little immigration work, so he impressed on all. his hearers the advantages of this countrv for homemaking.and investment He met quite a -iiuinber of Princetonians down there-, ^and they all seemed to be 'floating high.' Of course they were not up'in balloous but simply shootiug the chutes, and.other innocent amusements. Mr. Fitzgerald o wns some good-free mill- ing propositions on Granite Creek; at present he is pj-ofepectirig on trie Whip- saw. " 0 ' TOWN AND DISTRICT. As an illustration of the desirability of Princeton as a place to live in over forty teachers applied for the vacant position in the puplic school. Applications from various parts of the continent, from Cambridge and London university men and from M A's, B„A's and/life certificated persons all over Canada: ^ A. Faulds, M.E., Nicola, ...was recentbjr, at the North Fork coal mine, takingsamr. pies and inspectiug the workings.. Charley Carfson arrived back from the coast last Wednesday where he had been holidaying. He reports good times and many travellers, the tourist trade being exceptionally good this year. Princeton looks good to him and he will settle down and make a fortune here. He thinks the Canadian exhibit very good at the A,y • P. and spent several days viewing the whole exposition. J. W. Whiteley, provincial organizer of the Loyal Orange Association, delivered an address last night in the I.O.O.F. hall on the 'Principles of the Orange Association and the" Necessity for Its Existence.' Ther^ras a good attendance. The Presbytery of Kamloops will meet at Armstrong, B.-Cf,; Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Rev. Mr. Conn [will leave Friday to attend. Devotional exercises may be arranged for during his absence on Sunday. W. S. Wilson has gone to the south fork of the Tulameen to do assessment work on his mineral property which he hopes "to see shipping before long. I . . LOCAL AND GENERAL Though an , off' Year Crops will Average well in this Section. Large Number of Teachers Apply for Princeton Sohool—Telephone '*&*_ Exchange Here. Ernest Waterman, resident manager, of the V.F.M. Co., arrived back from the coast last Saturday and reports that the cities are'ih prosperous condition. He has engaged a superintendent for the coal mine and will begin producing tonnage soon. He attended the A.Y.P. and speaks very highly of it. E- P. Galliac, a Spokane mining man, was in town last week and has been examining mineral properties in this^ec^ tion with a view to purchase and operation. He thinks this town is beautifully and handily located. He has not seen a country .with such a variety of minerals as are found hereabouts. W. T>Atherton, provincial fire warden, was in town Saturday on official business No serious fires are reported. Cool, dewy nights have done much to prevent fire from spreading, although the ground is very dry. Miss E. Pauline Johnson, the celebrated Mohawk poet-entertainer, with Walter McRaye, impersonator, may give Princeton one of theirtfffique entertainments in the latter ttrft of September. J. A. 'McAlpine, Keremeos, with his brother-in-law, Dr. McColl, of Tilbury, Out., was in town Monday. Mr. McAlpine is chief of the commissariat on railway construction and was in quest of a house. He expects to move here soon along with other officials. Mr. Kern, a tramping printer speaking five different languages passed through recently, westbound, over the Hope mountains. Being a great lover of nature he took this route because of its scenic beauty and the fishing. Dominion parliament is expected to meet about the 18th November. FRUIT AND VEGETABLES REVIEWED. If there are any skeptics who doubt the possibilities of soil and climate in Princeton district a trip out to One and Five Mile sections, to Wolf Creek and Ashnola or a look at Hugh Hunter's garden, Maplehurst, will convince them that there is no foundation for unbelief. In the latter garden may be seen citrons, corn, pumpkins, tomatoes, besides the coarser vegetables. Here potatoes grow to perfection as to quality and in yield the ground seems to almost burst with their number and size. Other roots are equally prolific and small fruits in great profusion may be seen. With spacious lawn and new ornamental fence Maplehurst will then have assumed some of the stateliness of a conntry seat. Down on the Westwood farm the fruit trees are looking healthy and there-is good assurance of the success of the orchard. There will be a small percentage of loss this j-ear, but on the whole,., considering that this is an off year all' over, the promise of this orchard is excellent. Mr. Nathan, who has charge of the orchard, has a fine crop of potatoes of good quality and yield. TELEPHONE EXCHANGE FOR PRMCETON. Thanks to a little pressure and some- earnest agitation for recognition of the rights of Princeton, the telephone ex— 'cjhange is about to be instilled. Under- Foreman Woodburn a force of men ar rived on Saturday to erect the poles and-t otherwise complete the exchange. It: will be a great convenience for snbscrihjrj ers and place Princeton on equall footing with other towns. Since Minister Pugsley has had his attention! ~>direetedi to ttie needs of Princeton he has lost no time with the appropriation made'available by recent session. It is hoped a sum will be placed in the appropriations for next year sufficient to enable Copper mountain and Ashnola being supplied with telephone connection to Princeton. CUSTOM OFFICE FOR POSTAL. ..PACKAGES. A customs office for postal packages has been established at Penticton with Mr. E. O. Atkinson, postmaster, in charge-.^ Packages addressed to Penticton coming through-.the mails from other countries will, therefore, be cleared at this point instead of at Vernon as in the past. . The establishment ofittis office is the direct outcome of a yfsit in June by W. Marchant, of Victom, Dominion Inspector of Customsy/The Penticton Board of Trade must, however, be given the credit for previously pressing upon the Department of Customs the need of the office. When in Penticton, Mr. Marchand assured the Press that he would recommend the establishment of. this branch of the customs service. . >\\-.\\ Here is another step forward and,.another year or two hence should see the establishment of an office embracing all departments of the service.

While it is undoubtedly true that Princeton and district have merits in mining and other resources which will command the attention of capitalists it is not to be inferred that citizens may sit idly down with folded bands and expect outsiders and the newcomer to do all. It is not enough for the capitalist to know that this is a promising field Sot investment. He must be incited, inspired, persuaded, convinced that now is tbe day of opportunity which, if neglected, may never return. Other towns and districts are competing for the capital that Princeton is hoping for and it often happens there is not enough to go all around, so some locality ihas to go without. It is a fact that some men are gifted salesmen, others drive custorrersaway, and it :is the same with towns and districts as with individuals. The town making the best presentment of its resources and opportunities is the one to first attract the attention of capital. This is an age in which printer's ink is all powerful. No large and ■ successful business can be conducted or reared without its aid. No enterprise dependent upon public patronage can be floated or operated -without advertising. New towus, such as Princeton, must first have as a means of publicity a live newspaper. It is the western way to plant a newspaper wherever a town- site has been laid out and the competition is keen to induce investors to embrace the varied opportunities of these respective towns. If .any place is to keep abreast of the times or pace with aggressive and goahead neighbors it must support a good newspaper as well as make use of the ordinary means of advertising in booklets, pamphlets and other original methods of distributing information. It took a mountain of newspaper and other publications to start the wave of immigration into Manitoba. The Dominion government, Canadian Pacific Railway Company, towns, land companies and individuals spent an incalculable sum of money and very earnest effort in convincing people the world over that the 'Great Lone Land' of the Northwest was not a frozen, barren and inhospitable country to five in. The fruit of all that effort and money spent is observed today in one of the greatest treks of human ity that the world has ever seen. See tbe development in miles of waving grain, railroads, towns, cities and capitols. But tbese did not materialize until tbe earth bad been literally plastered with printer's ink. "' -"-.*. The resources of the.Similkameen are undoubted and its merits proven by many. The 'goods' are here and ready for delivery. It is our dut}' and yours too, to convince, persuade and induce the capitalist to invest. It can be best done through the medium, of-the press and the use of printer's ink. ' NOTICE. BRAINS, SCIENCE, MONEY. All the Vancouver papers contain very minute notes of the sayings and doings of the big railroad officials gathered there during the past fortnight. These Titans of the great railway systems which are knocking at the door of Vancouver for admission are among the leading railway experts and represent the brains, science and money to be used in^building up-a huge terminal system for the Great Northern, V.,V. & E., Grand Trunk Pacific, Northern Pacific and possibly the Canadian Northern. In this combination of interests there is surely enough potentiality to prevail on the good sense of the,City Council of Vancouver to grant them! necessary facilities for a joint terminal. If the Star may be permitted to offer a suggestion at this juncture it would be to warn the City Council of tbe danger of an obstructive policy to favor the C P R.. which has always looked upon Vancouver as a sort , of reserve, or preserve. It would be the essence of folly to deny any reasonable request for a terminus merely to appease the hungry octopus that has already been given $200,000,000 by the people of Canada. If Van couver realizes or appreciates the importance of maintaining a friendly attitude toward the Similkameen it will encourage by every means in its power the connecting up of the unfinished portions of the V.,V. & £. and the acquisition of a suitable terminal. Progress, not hindrance, and equal privileges to all, should be the unvarying principle guiding the Council in its treatment of railways.
