Dominion Day Sports Prove Big Success HORSE RACES THE BEST THAT HAVE BEEN HELD HERE FOR MANY YEARS — ATTENDANCE NOT UP TO THE AVERAGE The program put up by the Princeton Athletic and Racing Association on Tuesday, July/lst, proved to be the best that has been witnessed here for several years arid was entitled to, a much larger patronage than was accorded it. Blakeburn and Coal- moDt came down in force but Keremeos and the lower valley failed entirely to return the splendid support which tills town gave the sports' committee at Keremeos on June 3rd. The plea advanced by one of the Kermeos citizens to the effect that the celebration here had not been announced in Keremeos is hardly according to facts. We notice in the Keremecs correspondence in our issue of June 19th the following comment: "We are glad to see that Princeton is preparing to put on a celebration on .Dominion Day and a goodly representation of this district should turn out to assist them; in making the day a success as they -came down and helped us." Tennis Tournament The sports opened with a tennis tournament in the forenoon and while the doubles, competition between Madore and Purvis of Keremeos and Smith and Brown of Princeton was an easy win for the former in two straight sets, the singles competition, with Smitli and Purvis in the finals proved to be a gruelling contest. In the intense heat that prevailed both players reached a stage bordering on collapse before the de- c'sion wps reached, Purvis proving the winner by a single game; the score being 10-9. The result of the play was as follow: Preliminaries; Clapp beat Harris 10-6; Smith beat Brown 10-5; Pur , vis beat Builder (Coalmont) 10-0; Madore beat Wilson 10-0. In the semi-finals Smith beat Clapp 10-1 and Purvis beat Madore 10-7. Baseball Sports at the race track opened after the lunch hour with a game of ■—baseball - between- -two ■«■ local- .featlieu- i^M__E___^___2__S25_____5_I_J__Z |" Johnson and Mark Gregory in" which the latter won. This was followed by a game between two teams of the olders boys in which come splendid baseball was dished up. The winning team v/as captained by Teddy Burr who did ,the pitching, with Pete Pesut catching; Clifford Avery on 1st; Everett French 2nd; Bill David 3rd; John Dzrrr.gh s.s. and John Howarth, Tom Lindsay and Harold David in the outfield. The losing team consisted of George Pesut, pitcher; Miko Oreskovitch, catcher. Duncan Campbell let; Jones 2nd; Edward Cook 3rd; Hr.rry Priest s.s. and James Halfpennny, James Muir and Kenneth- Garrison outfielders. ■ The score was 3r2. Dr. Lee Smith umpired both games.

Horse Races A string of horses brought in from the Nicola country created some lively competition in the horse races. The opening event was the "Free For All." There were live entries; four finishing in a bunch with Alf Gotter- ez first and Glover second. In the quarter mile there were four entries. Miss' Ferrol Sellers riding "Sleepy Jim," a horse belonging to George Allison, finishing two lengths ahead of John Gllmore. The turnstake rr.ee drew the largest number of entries and required three heats. In the finals were Chris- man, Charters and Woods who finished in the order mentioned, Woods being unfortunate in knocking down his stake on the last turn. In the pony race, Glover riding W. Garrison's horse was an easy winner with Triplett second. The saddle horse race drew six entries; Glover finishing first on Roy " Turner's "Sandy," 'with Gotterez second. In the half-mile Jim Gilmore led with Cunard second. There were three entries in the relay race, Allison finishing first and Triplett second. In this event Gotterez was bucked from his horse and though'he lost over half a lap would have drawn second money but for the fact that he did not have his saddle cinched at the finish. In the ladies' race 'mere were five competitors; Miss Norman winning first money and Mrs. charters on Gil- more's horse second. In tbe mile race, an extra that was added, there four entries, Gotterez finishing first and Glover on W. Garrison's "Lizzie" second. Another extra that was introduced WE? a hnclfiris stunc hy JVattisoi of Douglas Lake on an outlaw horse belonging to; W. Garrison. This h»rse, though .he has been used i.i the harness, had never been ridden and from the brief exhibition he gave showed real class. He will be kept in reserve for future occasions. Another special that was introduced was a married ladles' foot race in WHAT WAS DOING HERE III TWENTY YlRKh AG01 From the Similkameen Star of yl Saturday, July 2, 1904 !!!:!!r!!S!,3!r!!i"!?"!!?3? Jack McFarlane and Bob Cramer are at work on the porphyry dyke at Boulder creek. "Smoky" Chisholm is slowly recovering at Kamloops hospital from the bullet wound in his leg received in a shcot'ng affray last April. C. Willarson and P. Johnson leave in a few days' for Nicola and Aspen Grove where they nave . a large amount of assessment work to do. For the past few weeks they have been working on Copper and Kennedy mountains complying with the law and improving their mineral, properties. Ernest Waterman received the sad intelligence last week of the death of his stepfather, Col. Hutton, of Tap- ton Croft, Sheffield, England. Col. Huttcn had been seriously ill for some time previous and his death was nit unexpected. J. L. McDaniel, W. W. Blevin-;, Thos. Hall and Jack McLean came in from Slate Creek, Wash., on Saturday last by way of the Pasayton river. They were a week covering ihe distance, about 60 miles, which was due to the bad condition of travel. H. W. Harding, for over a year ui E. Vo:gt's mining camp, Copper Mountain, has gone to Comox, B. C, leaving there in the-fall for England. Fred Wampole and Ben Baker hav6 returned from doing assessment work on the Savoy, Golden Cross and Comstock mineral claims. They have 3 good showing of gold-bearing quartz with assays from $1.4 up to $50. Their l.cationr are at the head of Nine Mile and on the slope of Granite creek, about 10 miles from town. W. C. Lyall was elected school trustee last Saturday. Joe Fitzharris was in town this week and reports development of his m;n- eral property on Elliot creek has shown up an increasing body of ore as progress is - made. He will have specimens at the Spokane exhibition. Billy Small, the stage driver injured in a runaway accident last fall is st 11 an invalid and many of his frieiirts are anxious -for his "recovery. The sale of government lots at Hedley on Monday last was conducted by C. A. R. Lambly of Fairview in the presence of a large number of buyers. The receipts amounted to $6,000, which in view of so many other attractions for capital in the district, is a good indication of the stability and future outlook of Hedley. No one doubts that the real estate bought on Monday will double and j treble in value within a year. Pres-I ent conditions warrant that predic- j tion and the smelter or railway will! abundantly fulfil it. As high as $435 were paid for a corner lot, inside lots running from $40 upwards. The sale was conducted in a fair and businesslike manner, and the results cannot be other than sat'sfactory to the government which has so much need of a windfall at present. A grand ball was given at Reith's new hotel, Keremeos, on the night of Dom'nion Day. Thermometer registed 95 degrees of heat in the shade on Wednesday. Jameson Bros, brought in five bear "skins' last Sunday, probably the last of the season, as the hair is fading.

Your correspondent paid a brief visit to the summer colony *on July 1st and noticed quite a number enjoying the simple life under canvas. There was also a large number of families spending the day picnicking on the fine shady grounds equipped by Mr. John Hosey who deserves great credit for the good work he has done in providing all conveniences for those wishing to spend a few restful hours at the beach. A large party is camp- ng at "Ye Otter Camp" on Mr. C. R. Malcolm's lake front property, amongst these at this camp are Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. E. Riley, Edna Johnston, Florence Johnston, Laura Hunter, Margaret Wattie, Elizabeth Johnston, Duncan Fraser,- Wilfred Bryden, Billy Stubbs, Walter Martin and Colin Malcolm. At another camp was noticed Mr. and Mrs. Wes Ramsay and family who have as ■ their guest Miss Dolly Waterman of Princeton. Mr. and Mrs. James Smart and family are also located in a cottage at Tulameen for the summer. It was a treat to watch all the folks, big and little, enjoying themselves, boating, swimming and wading in the warm waters of the lake.

Oroville, June 28.—Oroville or- chardists report that the June drop of apples has been extremely light and as a result there is practicallyv a normal crop of most varieties in this immediate vicinity. Some of the growers predict that this year there will be from 15 to 20 more cars of apples shipped from Oroville this season than last year. The growth of the apples is also said to be in advance of their usual size -at this season and much in the lead of the development of the fruit in the eastern apple growing sections where the growth of the apples has been retarded this season by unfavorable weather conditions. Cherries and berries are being shipped daily from Oroville to distant points. Growers here are receiving from 12 cents to IB cents a pound for their cherries. TWO CARS COLLIDE ON NARROW GRADE Oroville, June 28.—When H. R.

Mr. Schmidt stated that he saw the other car coming and stopped his car as there was no room to pass but the driver of the other car apparently made no attempt to stop. THE PKINCETON STAR, PRINCETON, B. C. THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1924 Cbc lprinceton Star PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT PRINCETON, B.C. J. A. BROWN, Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES British Empire, One Year $2.00 Foreign, One Year 5 2.50 Payable in Advance. THURSDAY JULY 3, 1924 In our last issue we commented on the laxity of the registrars in revising the provincial voters lists—a laxity that deprived many citizens of their T^ptes in the recent election. We wish to make it distinctly understood that this criticism does not in any way apply to the present registrar of voters for this riding, Mr. Dewdney, government agent at Penticton. He only assumed the duties of registrar of voters for this ridipg' in 1922 and was in no way responsible for the retention on the lists of name3, which according to the act should have been struck off. Mr. Dewdney, we have always found courteous, obliging and highly efficient in his capacity of government official. CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP (British Columbian.) One of the most important tasks- facing the Conservatives of British Columbia is the choice of a new leader. While Hon. W. J. Bowser has not yet formally resigned his post, it is taken as certain that he will do so when the absentee votes have been counted and the exact result of the election at large is ascertained. In the campaign just over Mr. Bowser said that it would be his last election, and in view of his personal defeat there is little doubt that he will now retire to private life. It is reported from Vancouver that he has already decided on this course, and while there will be naturally be sentimental objections they should not be permitted to prevail to the extent of thrusting the leadership on him against his own better judgment. The newly constituted Legislature will embark on stormy seas and its career is likely to be a short one. Na student of political events doubts that if the Conservatives choose a leader who is capable of uniting the Conservative thought of the province, the party will win a sweeping victory at the first opportunity. This is the task of the convention, which should be called at the earliest mo ment. CANNOT TAKE A TUMBLE The New Wfstmii ster British Co- —tumUian.-^jr-iypt- of the hard .boiled Consarvaiiv* press, c-ai not seem :o see any good in the /motives of the Provincial Party. It cannot realize that the same motives that led the party to seek the extinction of men like Oliver and Bowser can endorse a man with the qualifications of Charles Woodward. It says: - "The Vancouver executive of the so-called provincial party has just pro duced a wonderful piece of political sleight-of-hand. In announcing tnat it will not oppose Charles Woodward, Liberal member-elect, should that gentleman be made Minister of Fin ance, necessitating a by-election, this organization attempts to justify its stand by, a lengthy recital of Mr. Woodward's virtues and concludes as follows: " 'Therefore, be it resolved, that while still strongly disapproving the administration of the Liberal government, and without in anyway pledging the individual members af the Provincial party, the Vancouver executive of the Provincial Party declares that in the event of Mr. Woodward's early appointment as minister of finance, the Provincial party will put no candidate in the field to oppose him at a by-election immediately following his appointment.' "On analysis the plea is seen to be illogical. This organization processes that it still strongly diapproves of the administration of the Liberal gov ernment. Nevertheless, it wjll not oppose the election of a minister chosen by that government. In other words, it will do nothing to prevent this, strongly disapproved of government taking office and carrying along the lines of which the executive strongly disapproved in the past and still does so. Considered in the light of a contortionist act, this has some merit. "What is the real meaning behind this performance? The Provincial party went into the election ostensibly to defeat the Oliver administration. It actually succeeded in saving, the Liberal party from utter rout. It actually effected the re-election of a formidable remnant of the old guard. The possibility of such an outcome was obvious even to the intelligence of the provincial leaders. >. Still they went ahead. Is it possible that this policy was not entirely due to political ineptitude? "It may be of course that the Vancouver executive is actuated by an entirely different motive. It may be that this is merely another manifestation of that well known Vancouver spirit which seeks nothing but the glorification of Vancouver; and that for the sake of the distinction supposed to reside in having a cabinet minister as one of its representa- ti i es, the Vancouver executive is prepared to sacrifice everything for which it was supposed to stand. It will be interesting to note how followers of. the McRae banner in other parts of the province will re-act to this peculiar stunt." An optimist is a man who will eat raisin pie that has been served on a picnic cloth. i«atalJ«J«V»atJl^«S«S*^^^it5«atJ«^l»1t^3«^^ I The Pedlar's Pack | X ____=_____========= S | By AUTOLYCUS % ti "A Snaoper up of Unconsidered ■* | Trifles." "WHO'S WHO AND WHY?" The recent disclosure that, of the alleged Canadian and Australian rodeo riders billed to appear at th« Empire Exhibition, the immense majority were Americans^and Mexicans, seems rather disconcerting in face of the belief that thev displays in that exhibition were to be strictly the products of various portions of the British Empire. It would be rather interesting to find out just where the mistake occurred, although the enquiry would be somewhat belated. And it \mould certainly reveal a surprising element of misapprehension of general Conditions in Canada, if not in Australia. The rodeo and the genus cowboy are really not Canadian features at all, but strictly American, and this notwithstanding the fact that cattle ranching is one of he industries of Canada on a comparatively small scale. And it is generally supposed, also, that the riders engaged in it are rather more skilful thJta some oi the bunglers at Wembley seemed to be. Broken legs, dislocated necks, dishorning, and the various other accidents reported, don't seem to shed much lustre on the legendary skill of the ride'rs of the wild and wooly west. One is led to suspect that, in addition to the misunderstanding as to nationality, there was also some poor judgment shown in the choice of individuals. This doubt is not lessened by the recitals of little eccentricities indulged in by some of the contingent. The cowboy of American literature would not dream of lassoing a woman, as his counterpart is said to have done on London streets, and there is evidently some mistake somewhere. The only good feature of the entire episode lies in its abandonment. The query "Who's who, and why?" leads to some curious replies now and then. The madman known as L'enin, the Russian autocrat,-ha4 no lejgal right to his name, and was not even Russian. George Washington, the father of the American people, was English. Omer Pasha, at famous "Turkish" general was an Austrian. And, passing from grave to gay, the decayed Indian chieftain, eking out the remainder of his days 'by selling beaded moccasins at Niagara, informed Mark Twain that he was "from Limerick, me bhoy!" and bought his stock-in-trade from New York! It isgreatly to be feared that things are not always what they seem to be! a * * m A TARDY RESIGNATION Ex-Rev. Percy St^kney Grant, who not long ago achieved a certain notoriety by the process of defying his bishop, after shocking him by the preaching of exceedingly unorthodox opinions, has made the only decent amends possible by resigning from a ministry with which he was no longer in sympathy. It must be admitted that his resignation is somewhat tardy, and is also tarnished by the reason advanced in explanation of it. Apparently the ethics of the situation did not enter into the matter-r-the former clerical disputant has merely relinquished his charge because the plumbing work in the rectory was out of order, and was robbing him of red blood corpuscles! One feels a certain regret that the resignation was blurred over in this way—it would have been far better for the retiring ■ preacher to confess -himself as being in a false position in the church, and morally bound to leave it. No one has the right to condemn a clergyman who finds himself out of sympathy with doctrines he is paid to preach, but those who pay" have a most decided right to object to the acceptance of the stipend by a man who feels impelled to attack those doctrines from the pulpit. When the late Cardinal Newman found himself hopelessly out of touch with the Church of England and drawn to the more strictly logical Church of Rome", he gave up his incumbency and transferred his allegiance, giving his reasons honestly and straightforwardly, as might have been expected from a man of his high character. As a result, the church he left still honors his memory, and counts among its treasures the most beautiful hymn he wrote in the period of his doubt and mental conflict. ' * * * * A CHANGE NEEDED One beneficial effect of the recent otherwise inconclusive election * is seen in the searching of hearts indicated by certain resignations, and an expressed resolve to improve the conditions which were apparently getting hold of the administration of affairs of public interest. The matter of police management is of course, a question which chiefly concerns the city most closely affected—the charge that governmental rule was in danger of domination by the liquor interests is one which touches the whole province. I am not particularly concerned with the statements of the writer in an American journal on the subject, since1 many of them were obviously so wide of the mark as to carry within themselves their own refutation, and may, moreover, become a. matted of elucidation in a promised libel action. But there is evidently a widespread suspicion that beer and politics have been-indulging in a flir-\ tation which will be better nipped in the bud and brought to an end. British Columbia politics has already enough on its shoulders without being called upon to accept domination, from brewing interests, or a-ny other class interests, and the sooner it shakes itself free from doubt the better. Probably there is a great deal of smoke to a very little fire in the whole affair, but even smoke is distinctly unpleasant at- times, and we are entitled to claim that the nuisance is done away v/ith. Synopsis of Land Act Amendments 6QRRESP0NDE>N6fc Editor Star. Sir.—The vote of electors of Victoria and Vancouver has made it plain to the electors of the balance of the province that Oliver and Bowser are not wanted in the legislature. But will the people be satisfied with that popular vote. The two parties want them back. Why? The Provincial Party organization should be kept alive. When the final count is made there will be two at least of that party in the HoUse. The mover and seconder of a resolution which must be presented to the lieutenant-governor asking for a committee of Ihe house to enquire into campaign funds—over payments to contractors, etc., etc., are necessary. Should the lieutenant-governor refuse such a committee the governor- general can be approached. Upon his refusal the crown can be asked. These matters will be fully investigated and the sums fraudulently obtained must be paid back. So let us keep up the organization and watch events. Yours truly, E. A. MORRISSY.

Unswortn has accepted the call as pastor of the Pres- byterian church here and is expected to enter upon ■ his duties some time next month. Mr. Felix Darragh and family left on Monday on a touring trip which will take them in the first instance to California and possibly later 'to Detroit where they expect to make their home. Harry Knighton left on Wednesday on his annual two weeks' vacation. He is travelling by motor and is accompanied by his father and mother. His objective is a tour of Vancouver Island with possibly a jaunt into the southern states on his way back. His father will only accompany him as far as Vancouver, returning by train. Miss Hattie Innis, sister of Mr. D. J. Innis, Keremeos, and. Hylard Innis of Hedley, who has accomplished po much in the way of child welfare work in Vancouver and who is leaving shortly to take up the same work !n China, was in town this afternoon on her way back to the coast from a visit to her relatives' in the* lower valley. .The election returns, which we pub- l'shed last week appear to have been in ,error in that Mr. W. A. McKenzie's majority was 61 instead of 46. For some reason it was difficult to secure authentic returns for the election. Complete returns will be published as soon as the final results^are known. Beginning with j a temperature of 90 degrees on Sunday the thermometer has been hitting the high spots ever since and the end is not yet. Tuesday was the record according to our official weather bureau when the mercury stood at 94. Much higher temperatures have been reported but they are not official. Mr. E. E. Burr & Sons, local Ford dealers have, during the week, unleaded their third carload of autos for the season. If you have any doubt as to why the Ford predominates .'it- tend the free educational picture which this enterprising firm is putting on in the Princess Theatre after the regular picture on Friday evening, July 4th. A josning remark carelessly made at the dance dn Tuesday evening is understood to have been the origin of the report current here - Wednesday morning to the effect- that Dave Forsyth of Blakeburn had put his car over the bank between Keremeos and Penticton was himself in a dying condition. Unable to get any definite information over the phone his brother Billy drove to Coalmont early the next morning and, later left for Pen? ticton to find out what had happened. A short distance this side of Keremeos they met and one v/as as pleased as • the' other was surprised. Dave assures us that his car was never off the road. Among those who attended the celebration here on Tuesday was Mary Armit, the Indian girl from the Quil- chena reserve who, while taking part in the horse races here a year ago was thrown and received very serious injuries to her right foot; the bones protruding through the flesh and be ng driven into the ground. At the time it was exceedingly doubtful if the foot could be saved. On Tuesday she called at the hospital to acknowledge her appreciation of the splendid surgical and nursing treatment that she had received-: The foot was practically as good as before the accident. Word has also been received from the young man, known as O'Shenne, who was also very seriously injured at the races here a year ago, that, he has entirely recovered and is able to do a full day's work. He has taken such a liking to Princeton that he announces his intention of returning and making it his,home. Owing to the increase in travel across the boundary through Oroville L. E. Tierney, deputy collector of customs, will be given an assistant to serve at night during the summer months. Mr. Tierney states thai the office v/ill.probably be kept open from 7 a. m. until 10 p. m. when he obtains an assistant. 5«ilJ LIQUOR RUNNER GETS ONE YEAR Oroville, June 28.—Ed Bohn of Cle Elum, who was arrested on a charge of running liquor across the boundary at Nighthawk on April 27 by L. E. Tierney, local deputy collector of customs, was found guilty by a jury in tbe federal court at Spokane Tuesday and was sentenced to. serve one year' and a day at the penitentiary at McNeil's island. Bohn was driving a Studebaker nix at the time of his arrest and had 12 cases of liquor. The jury recommended leniency but Judge J. Stanley Webs/er disregarded the reconienda,- tion stating that Bohn had also lied in the federal court, L. E. Tierney v/as called as a witness, He left Oroville Saturday and returned Wednesday.

The president, Mr. W. C.

Owing- to the fact that the association had been started and operated without any capital it is again necessary to apply to. the banks for assistance and this would Continue to occur, yearly, until a reserve has been built up. A resolution was passed asking for a separate pool for this district, a point which is of vital interest here owing to many conditions, which vary from other districts in the association.

McCallum and Mr. Shipton of the Clawston district,, had all been reelected on the first ballot. The president, Mr. W. C. Honeywell, received 54 out of the 55 ballots cast, which shows that his efforts during the past year have been appreciated by the members.

Smith, arrived FOR the man or woman in search of healthful recreation, rest for jaded nerves, and a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, the world offers nothing more entrancing than a holiday in Jasper National Park, Canada's wonderland of scenery, where mountain, crag and torrent vie with one another in claiming the attention and where scenic nature is at her best Towering peaks rise to the north, south, east and west; mirrored in the beauty of placid lakes whose shores provide shelter for the myriad wild life for which thp largest of all Canada's national parks is famous. Whether the tourist goes sightseeing by motor car or by the more romantic pack pony, Jasper National Park offers him the best that can be found anywhere Motor roads and pack trails radiate in every direction from Jasper Park Lodge, the magnificent log cabin hotel of the Canadian National Railways, and the tourist; may engage either ponies and guides or an automobile and thus see the mountains at his pleasure Mount Edith Cavell, named to honor the memory of Britain's heroic nurse, rises by the side of Mount Sorrow, within a short drive of tbe Lodge and is one of the favorite drives of visitors to the Lodge. The Cavell highway, smooth-surfaced, winds up toward the very foot of the Ghost Glacier, presenting to the visitor a new vista of scenic wonders at every turn. As one rides toward the foot of the glacier, the Athabasca Valley far beneath presents an attractive picture of calm loveliness, while here and there a lake, reflecting bine sky and sunshine, adds its touch to the beauty of the landscape. There are other drives which may be taken in comfort- one may go in an hour, for instance, to the wonderful Maligne Canyon, one of the natural wonders of the entire Rocky Mountain region, where rushing waters go tumbling and boiling through a narrow aperture worn in the rock, two hundred feet below the feet of the tourist as he or she stands on one of the footbridges which span its narrow width. At any turn of the road the visitor may find himself face to face with a bear or a deer, walking calmly across the highway, while on the sides of the mountains he may see mountain sheep or goats grazing. The tourist to whom riding appeals will find plenty to hold his attention. Pack trails may be followed for miles, when in the company of an efficient guide, one may set forth to explore regions which are beyond the reach of the motor tourist. The wondrous Maligne Lake and Medicine Lake, with their quota of mountains reaching down almost to the water's edge, draw more and more tourists every year. For years the wonders of Canada's national parks have been better known outside of Canada than they have been to Canadians, but year by year Canadians themselves are realizing that they have, in their own country* scenic attractions which are not surpassed anywhere in the world, and consequently the number of Canadians registering at Jasper Park Lodge is showing remarkable increases. Comfortable, steam-heated cabins are provided for their accommodation, an excellent cuisine is maintained at the main Lodge, where surroundings and service are of the world famous Canadian National Railways standard and every care is taken to see that visitors to Canada's largest rTind finest national park enjoy their outing to the full.
