[Concluded from last week.] The Princeton board of trade was or ganized Nov. 28, iQQ^.p.MrE. Thomas, president;' and was the first to be'-Jtah-r UsEed i^big^Siij^t^aiBfeen electoral d s trict. One of.the first"propositions!for t__Tb'oard to uudertake was the eitensicn of the Dominion telephone line from Nicola t,o,Pen_.ctan, thus linking Prince ton and'Other -Similkatneenf'points with the outsMe, world_^How. _u£cess__i-__e. efforts of the board were is novv attested by the fact that a continuous circuit of 500 miles is now in operation and. the important towns of Simjl,kameen, Nicola. Kamloops an,d Okanogan districts are connected, with an__verage total of about 5000 -Hessages per month-- As a result of the board's long agitation for telephohe extension it. is evident that unless we ask persistently and urgently, for public needs, imp.ovements and reforms there is slight :chance of obtaining anything, such is tne present system of government a_d the well nigh useless official known ajs inspector, whose chief .'duty' seems to. be . pposrtion'to progress and remedy, ft Princeton to Vancouver. The board pressed upon both'govern ments the necessity for a coast to Kootenay railway, a large petition being circulated for that purpose Bnd forwarded to the proper authorities. I may suggest that,It triay yet become the duty of thig- board to prigiqate another 'petition^to have the V.,V. & E. completed from Princeton to Vancouver, For, not until this linkvis welded cati Princeton or any otbver'town along .'the proposed line re ceive the measure of prosperity to which if can fairly lay claim. 1/ Taxes Gome Back. In' regard to street improvements the board took this riiatter up in recent years, advocating a reasouable return for the taxes collected. At first this proposal met with slight opposition,by some who argued that the government had no right to improve the streets of any town. Thanks t4'■'_. W.'Shatford, M.P.P., the broader view prevailed, the people were accorded,their rights a,nd good highwajs resulted. 1 Improve Breed of Horses. • The efforts ' of the board to have the ranges of the Similkameen rid of wild horses has met with general approval and that nuisance has almost disappeared. The establishment of an experimental horse breeding station in this section where grazing a.nd climatic conditious are>most favorable for a high type of _iorsenas been advocated b# the'b6ard and this important matter only requires frequent periodical resuscitation to ensure success- (X^^^l Public.

From 1st Page. newspapers and other matter 'bunch up' and access to the office here during lawful hours; the improvement of the court house grounds, &c, are all subjects for governmental consideration. The people pay for good service and proper convenience and it is the duty of the hoard of trade to protect them in their rights, as well as advocate measures and remedies tending to a greater and better Princeton. Reciprocity, Proper Thing. The board in 1903 took np the question of reciprocity with the United States and I am glad to say that negotiations now in progress point to an early solution of this great international prob* lem. I can only recommend to the board favorable consideration of this question as tending toward the ultimate goal- universal free trade and universal peace. Apart from the high moral sentiment involved in it the business phase of it has to be considered with refereuce to the greater good to the greater number. It is the board's privilege to strengthen the negotiations now under way by resolution and to take for its guide the lofty example set for alienations and peop]__r by free trade Britain. Conservation of our forests has demanded the attention of the board, sug gestions from it having been passed on to the proper authorities Trunk Road and Trails. The importance of the interprovincial trunk road has engaged the aitention of the board and a resolution urging its early completion was passed ; also the trail to Steamboat and road to Whipsaw have received the attention which their importance demauds and work is expected to begin as soon as possible, affording means of travel for the expected inrush of prospectors to the goldfields. The board has already issued pamphlets descriptive of Princeton district, but further publicity on a large scale is now necessary if full advantage is to be LAND ACT.
