note: THE PRINCETON STAR Published in the Interests of Mining anff Agriculture in the Similkameen Twenty-fifth Year—No. 14 PRINCETON. B.C. FRIDAY|FEBRUARY 22, 1924 PBR YBAR: Sa.oo Cub Single Copy SC. Returns from Customs Shows Increase Improvement Thought to Promise Better Average This Year Compared With 1923 The customs house returns for the district of which Penticton is the chief- port show an hicrease In January ae compared with December, the figures for the first month of this year being $463.47 higher than those for the last month of 1923.
