To all Star sends greetings of the season. No other day in all the year has such a strong hold on the mind and affections as Christmas. It is the day for home coming and reunion, for reviving fond memories and restoring the estranged oi:e to the familiar circle of friends and relatives. And it ought to be the day on which all old scores, grudgts and affronts should be wiped out ; a clearing day for the settleir ent of quarrels and other outstanding accounts resulting from offensive woid or deed. The Prince of Peace was born on this day and beside the perfect right to rejoice on that account there is a duty laid upon all lo bring about that peace and good will which He came to proclaim. The gift to friend is proper and is largely a matter of course and custom, but of how much greater import and worth is the gift to the unknown poor and friendless, the heartbroken widow and orphan or thi stranger on bed of pain. Christ mas loses very much of its significance if giving is left out, for true generosity and kindly charity aie amoug the nobler traits of man. Therefore give, and do it quickly and without stint, never boastirg of it or letting tbe one hand knew what the other doeth. Christrras celebrates the greatest event of all time ; the birthday of Him who is the Life, the Truth, the Way. To and from that day the years are numbered, time is measured and all Christendom turns at least once a year toward the holy city with reverential joy. A glad Christmas to all Princeton and district. Deluy in the construction of the railways is a tremendous dra.-.back to the growth and prosperity of Princeton and the whole Similkameen valley. What are we going to do about it ?

The new Anglican church building wa™ duly opened for divine service last Sunday when good congregations .assembled both morning and evening. In the morning the opening hymn was "Christ is our Corner Stone," and a special effer- tpry hymn was "Holy Offerings, Rich and Rare." A good number partook of tbe the Holy Communion. The Vicar, Rev. J. Williams, dedicated anew bible aud the new altar before using them, and preached from the words "My House shall be called of all nations the hou=e of prayer," and sb/>ke of the value of a place of worship. In the evening a larger number attended although there were a few vacant seats. The singing aud the responding was well taken np, and among the hymn- was the churche's one foundation, "Onward,'Christian Soldiers''and "All Hail the Power." The sermon was on the text 'Let them build me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them." The preach er dwelt stongl) upon the state of those who held aloof from worship and prayer and pointed out the teaching of scripture about those who had lost one of tneir senses, the sense of spiratual perception. Worship on earth was necessary to prepare for the worship of heaven. He mentioned that this was the seventh church he had had a hand in building and the eighteenth anniversary of his ordination.

FOR IT IS INEVITABLE THAT THE VALUE OF THESE LANDS WILL GREATLY INCREASE Here are some of the Reasons : East Princeton is surrounded by huge de= posits of Coal, Cement, Copper, Gold, and other important flinerals. The British Columbia Portland Cement Co. is erecting a half a million dollar plant, which will employ between 300 and 400 men. The United Empire Co. is shipping a lig= nite coal of the best quality and is developing immense copper deposits, requiring large re= duction works and several hundred em= ployees. The Princeton Coal & Land Co. is increasing its daily shipments to 300 tons of coal, providing employment to about 150 men. Other coal companies are spending over $2,000,000 in development, and will give work to at least 1,000 men. For transportation, East Princeton will have, in the near future, the Great Northern and the Kettle Valley lines, both of which, will pass through the townsite.

The attempts from time to time to cut trees with a wire heated by electricity so for ha not given satisfactory results. Now a Berlin investor, Hugo Grantke, has recently succeeded in designing an extremely simjrfe.-device for the mechanical felling of trees. The trunks are cut by the friction of an ordinary steel wire about one millimeter in diameter (No. 18 P>« S gage) which, as shown by practice tests, is able to saw through a tree about 20 inches diameter, in six minutes. The steel wire driven by an electric motor, is heated so intensely by friction on the wood as to burn a thin carbonized kerf, which is both smoother and cleaner than the cut of the saw. The charcoal layer adhering to the trunk is extremely thin and allows the structure and any disease of the wood to be distinctly recognized. It enables ihe tree to be marked with chalk, and at the same time serves to preserve any trunks that may be left temporarily in the woods. Unlike other saws, the felling machine will work freely even on the thickest trees,without requiring any wedges to be inserted into the cut; for instead of any shavings we have only smoke and steam and hence there is io danger of the cut's becoming obstructed. The trees may be cut close to the ground, or even below the ground as far down as the beginning of the roots will permit. In the latter case the stump may be safely left in the soil. The electric motor that drives the steel wire is placed where it is not in danger of being struck when the tree falls. While mechanical operation is in itself much more rapid than hand labor, a further acceleration is derived from the absence of any intervals of rest between two cuts. As a new piece of steel wite costing but a few cents is taken for each cut, there is no loss of time due to tl e sharpening < f saws etc Only one man is required to operate the machine as against tw > men working with uand saws aud the larger the tree the higher is the relative cutting speed. When electricity is not immediately available, it can be generated by an existing steam or water plant. It may frequent y be found advatageous to use a portable power plant consisting of a 10 horse-pever gasolene motor and dynamo which may be installed temporarily in a central location. A flexible cable may connect the dynamo with the felling machine which can be readily transported and operated by one man. An important advantage of the new method arise from the absence of any waste, the cut only two millimeters (0,079 inch) in thickness being perfectly smooth and level, whereas axes and saws are bound to injure the trees to a considerable extent.
