THE PRINCETON STAR Published in the Interests of Mining and Agriculture in the Similkameen Twenty-Ninth Year—No. 17 -PRINCETON. B.C., THURSDAY, MARCH 8. 1928 PER YEAR: Ja.oo Cub Single Copy ac. Olalla Breed Seriously Stabbed by Companion FRASER MARSEL HELD ON RE MAND WHILE HIS COUSIN, JOE COHEN, IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION IN PENTICTON HOSPITAL Joe Cohen, of Olalla, lies in the Penticton Hospital, battling for life, with one lung pierced and other grevious bodily injuries, as the result of a drunken fracas which occurred last Friday night on the road between the Big Horn (Horn Silver) Mine and the ranch of Hans Richter In the lower Similkameen Valley. Joe Chopp, employed at the Big Horn, was a member of the party and the only witness to the brawl. Following theHfracas the party proceeded to Keromeos, arriving there about two o'clock in the morning. There, what might have proved to have been a serious misunderstanding is reported to have occurred. Provincial Constable Spall was given the impression by the injured man, prior to a complete collapse, that Chopn had been his assailant, and latter was im- medltely placed under ■ arrest. Happily the wounded man recovered his faculties toward morning, and made it clear to the police that Marsel had been the assailant and that Chopp had intervened and put an end to the assault. Chopp was immediately set at liberty, and search Instituted for Marsel, who had disappeared In the meantime. Injuries Serious Saturday,) the injured man was taken to the hospital at Penticton, where he now lies with a fair chance of recovery, provided no complications set in. His injuries are reported fo consist of a badly slashed arm, \ a' Seep gash above one of the kidneys, an abdominal cut, one In the breast, and another on a thumb. In the case of the body injuries the knife had apparently been twisted inflicting serious cuts. Mcnday morning the accused was taken by Constable Spall in the vicinity of the police station, where he had apparently gone to give himsely up. Tuesday he appeared before Stipendiary Magistrate L. H. Patton charged with wounding, and on request of the prosecution a remand of 8"'days was granted pending the outcome of Marsel's injuries. The injured man and his assailant are relatives, both in their early twenties, and resident on neighboring ranches near Olalla, a few miles from Keremeos on the Penticton road. At the time of the assault they were returning from a motor trip to the ranch of Hans Richter which is situated on the north side of the Similkameen River a short distance from the international boundary line. SIMILKAMEEN GETS $50,000 Similkameen district will benefit to the extent of $60,000 In road impnnements, tabled In the department of public works' estimates for road expenditures for. the year. The sum of $1,622,017 is divided between forty ridings, which would give each riding an average allotment of $40,590. ..It will thus be seen that in this respect the Similkameen has been relatively well treated, although several ridings receive much more, the most favored being the Kaslo-Slocan, allotted $76,250. KEREMEOS BASKETERS PLAY HERE SATURDAY Keremeos basketballers will be here Saturday to match their wits against the locals in the feature of a three game card, the b'ggest bill provided for Princeton fans this season. Keremeos comes with a big reputation, and a trip to the apple town earlier on stillN-ankles in the minds ■.of the locals. Tfie visitors are said to be fast and elusive, playing much the same type of game as do the locals.. Princeton has done little to impress this year to date, and no doubt will make a big effort Saturday. The Keremeos line-np is not known, but the locals will trot out full strength, with the possible exception of Broderick, who may be absent' in' Penticton. Gibson and Madore wiil form the defense, with Ritchie captain and center, and Coles and Boult under the basket. Moore, Esplen and Benzies will form the reserve.

SEVERAL APPLICATIONS £%£, FOR CLAIMS PUBLISHED I i—; Board of Trade Holds Its Annual Meeting E. E. BURR IS ELECTED PRESIDENT; COMMITTEES NAMED FOR VARIOUS LINES OF ENDEAVOR - There was agood attendance of members at tho postponed annual meeting of the Princeton board of trade held in Secretary Gregory's office on Monday evening. The finan- c'al report as read by the secretary showed a small balance on the right side of the ledger. * The retiring president, J. A. Brown, briefly sketched the work done by the board during the past year; the reception tendered the late premier on the occas'on of his" visit here in connection with the j presentation of the life-saving medal to "Podunk" Dav's; the financing of the Princeton-Hope expedition of newspaper men, and the valuable publicity thus gained for the southern transprovin- cial highway; and, more recently, the luncheon and public meeting held here in interests pf the coal Industry, and attended by Mr. H. N. Freeman, m'n'ng engineer of Vancouver. Election of officers resulted In Mr. E. E. Burr being chosen president; H. L. J. Collas, vice-president; P. W. Gregory secretary and the following committees named: Roads—E. E. Burr, C. A. Pease C. R Watson. Memorial Park—-G. G. Lyall J. A. Brown. W. L. Boult. Fire—P. Russell, Alex MacKenzie, G. G. Lyall. Reception—W. A. Wagenhauser, J. A. Browiv-Sf.—Or McGuffie. Publicity—P. W. Gregory. J; A. Brown, F. C. O. Edwards. A communication from the Nelson board of trade asking for endorsa- t'on of a resolution of theirs requesting the porvincial government to put the dayl'ght saving act into effect this summer was not favorably received, only two members present who were golfers, voting in favor. Mr. S. C. Cates' name was added to the membership roll. MAKING ASSESSMENT ON RED BLUFF HOLDING8 With a view to selling his property, Billy Britton, hailed as "the Mayor of Tulameen," has gone to his claims' at Red Bluffs, situated a mile and a half from Princeton, and is making an Assessment. The property contains large de; posits of red oxides of iron, valuable in the manufacture of paint, and may be converted into a real commercial proposition. This deposit of course, gave Tulameen River Its 'name. "Tulameen" simply means red paint, and the bluffa above the city were a rendezvous for the redskins, who came for 'he'r supply of war paint. At one time Princeton was known as "Vermillion Forks." Mr. Britton is a real old timer, coming to the district 30 years ago. Prior to this time he was resident in Rossland district in the halcyon days of that famous camp, and can tell many good tales of the early days of both the Similkameen and Kootenay, He acquired the Red Bluff claims in 1906.

The ceremony was the unveiling of the plaque to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of Canada's confederation, and much credit is due to the Instructor, F. J. Wlllway, for his pains in the arrangements made. The school rose to sing "0 Canada,1.'. after which one of the pupils read the seventy-second Psalm, and another recited the famous lines of Scott, "Breathes There a Man." Rev. J. C. Goodfellow, pastor of St. Paul's TThtted, Church,- .and a member °£ the B.C.

Some have gone so far as to visit. Mr. Sootheran was a welcome vis- •tor to Princeton Monday, drawn by the painful necessity of having to have dental attention, but was nevertheless his cheery self. He expects to go up the Tillls to his prospect in about a month, for there has been, ne says, a lighter fall of snow than usual in- that district and the road out from Tulameen Is already open. This early start should enable him to get much more work done this year than usual before snow and cold weather drives him to his cosy winter quarters at "Coney Island," Tulameen. A hard and successful worker during the summer months, Mr, Sootheran enjoys "city life and retirement" af the foot of the hills" m the winter, with a pet parrot as his boon companion. The animal appears to be of a somewhat ferocious nature, but when asked "if the bird swore, Mr. Sootheran gave the significant answer "not yet." ;Mr. Sootheian sees more activity than nsual in his locality this year and states that both the Marks' and the Jensens intend to push ahead. PR08PECTOR REVI8ITS OLD HAUNT8 HERE Telling of the search for glistering eold In all parts of the province and throughout tho northwest. Tom Hess paid a brief visit to Princeton last week, and renewed old acquaintances. He is a dyed-in-the-wool propsec- tor, and has panned the sands from: California to the Behririg' Sea, while he has, with varying fortunes, worked* the bis; majority of B.C. streams. He also tried his luck in Alaska, but the "pot holes" of the Yukon afforded rhim best remuneration. Diving for Gold His most interesting venture is that of a year ago in the lower waters -of the Thompson,, where his party hired a professional diver to scour the river bed near the bank. just off the railway's holdings. This work proved fairly successful He is' now going back to drive his stakes en the Thompson. Speaking ot his experiences locally, he does not believe that the streams pf the" Similkameen hold much for the prospector, but op'nes that the -Tulameen no doubt holds many "pot holes" of value for those lucky enough to locate th'e'Ul. Mrs. James- Brown and fa'mily of China Creek left Sunday.for a,short visit to friends In Brookmere, Flames thought to have been i caused by a valve sticking and I the resultant explosion setting J fire to the gasoline tank, enveloped the two and a half ton tractor recently purchased by the P?oific Slope Mines, Limited, on Its first return trip from the mine. As a result the machine will have to be overhauled and the work of taking new consignment of machinery to the com- t pany's property will be seriously delayed. : On Sunday afternoon when the tractor was coming baok to Prince- ton fo- a load of machinery, at a po'nt just this side of Nine Mile Creek the engine emitted a violent explosion, and flame shot out. In a nrnute the whole engine was -in flames, and the driver was lucky to jtimp! clear uninjured. }' Fortunately, however, very little actual damage was done, and the en- feinie wilt st'll Junction, -though ft fas been shipped back to the Vancouver agents for Tepatrs. This will take at least a fortnight and is a cumbersome piece of work, as the block alone weighs 900 pounds. 1 The tractor had just been purchas ed, in Vancouver, rebuilt, and is to be used in development of the mine. It was be'ng used to haul eauipment to the mine, s'tnated about 21 miles from Princeton, on the Dewdney p". This work cannot proceed un til t"--, t»act«r <s pl'1-",»rt hack, as the roads are now practicallv clea- of snow, and horses could not make the Saul over the unbroken twelve miles of road beyond the Nine Mile bridge. It (s thought that the tractor was insured, and that in any event guaranteed by th= makers, so that beyond serious loss of time the owners will not suffor. Two Important changes in the local and district provincial police staff have been announced from headquarters. Constable J. P. Brown of the Princeton force has been transferred to Corbin, a town in the Crow's Nest district, 15 miles south east of Michel and will leave shortly. Sergeant J. A. Fraser of Penticton, who is in charge of police matters in this district, has been transferred to Kamloops division, effective April 1, and will be succeeded by Sergeant Keir of Kamloops. For the present no successor has been appointed to Constable Brown here. Dominion Titular Play Progresses j TRAIL WINS FROM CANMORE; MERRITT TAKES EXHIBITrON GAME FROM ASHCROFT SEXTETTE Okanagan Member in Attack on Budget GROTE STERLING ADVOCATES BETTER FRUIT MARKETING AND URGES BONUS ON COPPER TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES FOR LYNDEN MINE The addition of four new trucks and the anouncement th»* a spur wi'l be" constructed off the Kettle. Valley track have greatly enhair.fed transportation fae'lit'es of tho T.ynden coal mines, and will give the fert'le mine at Nine Mile Creek opportunity for the expected increase in production. The trucks, three Godfredsons and a Day-Elder, are all equ'pfced with pneumatic! frres and expected to stand up well to the task of haulinsr coal from the mine to Princeton for local sales and shipment. The spur will be commenced shortly, it is sa'd, and will afford the company much better loading facilities. The Lynden people confidently expect that an announcement will be made soon concerning the track from Princeton to the mine, a distance of some ten and a half miles over an easy grade. Trucking is costly and when the mine reaches standard production w'll be entirely Inadequate. Rail connection will be a necessity and Mr. DuVal, manager of the company, who visited Princeton last —oov-cri. stater! that he felt sure the railway company would agree" *o qonstruct the line, and if not his company would be compelled to do so. The new screen worked on Its own power for the f'rst t'me this week, new parts brought from Vancouver having been Installed. It is giving full satisfaotion. ' The January production as reported to the provincial department was 2653 tons, while a total of over 6000 tons has been taken from the mine since Jt opened in October The registered office of the company is now at Princeton, the change having been made from Vancouver because this town is more central. PRINCETON'S JUNIOR8 TAKE TO BASKETBALL Basketball has gripped the youthful fancy, to the extent that a score of youngsters have taken advantage of the generosity of the trustees of the .Orange Hall in granting the free use of the floor Monday night of each we?k| The youngsters are proving apt pupils, and on Tuesday night the "elder juniors" gave a team of Princeton seniors a real argument. TThe boys are keen for organized competition and an effort is being made to give them an opportunity in connection with the proposed city hjjgue. THREE MODERN MACHINES FOR LOCAL GARAGE Three n-idern electric garage machines, of the latest type are *o be Installed at the plant of the Princeton Garage, in it s effort to keep pace with the growing service demands of the community. An electric valve grinding machine has already arrived, arid is being set up. A new break lining outfit is in transit, expected to reach hce soon, while in a month or so a Encqf retouching spray gun will be in'alled, enabling the local garagemen " o put a factory "finish on old cars p" damaged bodies. All three machinec will be ot great value, to local motoric'.'], Expressing the opinion that the presentation of the budget reminded him of the way the Cheka might present Its report to the Soviet, Grote Sterling, federal member for Okanagan-Slmilka- meen made a virile though humorous attack on the Robb estimates in the debate. He was at least glad to see that seed onions were put on the free list. Mr. Sterling strongly criticised the failure to provide any seasonal tar- riff on fruits and vegetables, and adjudged the tarriff board an ineffective body, Inasmuch as only one of °ts recommendations had been acted upon. He scored the act of overriding by a minority of free traders of forty L'beral members from Quebec who had advocated this seasonal tarriff. He gave a treatise on the difficulties of marketing fruit in the prairies, explaining how the market had been periodically flooded, with great loss to the growers, but he had a good word for the work of the committee on direction. Wants' Copper Bounty Mr. Sterling urged a bounty on copper, as a protection to Canadian mining interests. He also urged that the government develop a broad vision on the St. Lawrence scheme, and expressed the fear that the enthusiasm shown by the United States was designed more to benefit their own interests than from any altruistic motives. LOCAL HISTORIAN GIVEN HIGH HONOR Rev. J.. C. Goodfellow of St. Paul's has been named one of a board ot five notable provincial historians who, will be In charge of the publishing of a history of greater Vancouver, with particular emphasis on Indian history, legend and pioneer history. Associated with him are W. Garland Foster, His Honor Judge F. W. Howay, Denys Nelson, and Noel Robertson, The work is being undertaken by the Art and Historical Sc- e'ety of British Columbia, which has been respons'ble for most historical research work concerning the prov- !nce, its aborigines and its historical f'gures in the past. It is no small honor even to obtain membership in the society. • Mr. Goodfellow has been a member for some years, and has been commissioned to assist with other publications. A few years ago he himself wrote for the society a history of the totem poles of British Columbia. He is in a sense the historian of the Similkameen, and has a mass of Interesting information in his possession. The present work will deal with the many Indian tribes, notably the Squamlsh, Kitts and Musquems. The editorial committee will accumulate ill available material, and will proceed to sift i* through and to write the history. It has been suggested that Mr. Goodfellow make his special field the early religious and missionary work. Mr. and Mr. Del Young of Princeton drove over on Tuesday for a sho-t visit with Mr. and Mrs. T. McAlpine. —Summerland Review. Roy land Oliver Oarrinaton, now sh-ning lights in the Princeton hockey firmament, renewed acquaintance with many friends in Merritt, their former home, last week-end.—Merritt Herald. • PRINCESS THEATRE Friday and Saturday MARCH 9th and 10th "McFADDEN'S FLAT" Charlie Murray & Chester Conklin Commencing March 26 and 27, the regular Monday and Tuesday shows will commence for the season. Trail, hockey champions of the province and representatives in the Dominion championship for the second year running, are again on the rampage, while all over Canada this week the net is drawing closer about the much coveted trophy as teams pass on at the expense of others. Trail Tuesday night overwhelmed Canmore in the first of a two- game series between the Alberta and British Columbia champions, 9-3, thus practically deciding the Issue. Trail will now travel to Reglna to meet the Saskatchewan champions, and If successful will go on to Winnipeg to meet the Thunder Bay champions for the western championship and the right to meet the eastern champions, the winners of the O.H.A.Quebec series, at Ottawa. Trail meets Canmore again Thursday night. With this convincing victory Trail's prospects look brighter than ever. The team is drawn from the best there Is in Alberta, and it is little wonder that this year Trail can again outclass the Alberta representatives, though the margin is far more decisive than last year. Trail's work this year has been superb, and tests to date indicate that they are a better lot than last year, when they did so well. Thgy should go far. and may even do the hitherto impossible. Trail Gets Series Pressed by a deluge of wires from lead'ng Trail civic and Consolidated officias Dr. Sandercock of Calgary at last consented to switch the B.C.- Alberta play-offs from Vancouver to Trail. Trail felt that in view of last year's fracas, and the fact that this year's finals were being played in the east, it was both right and logical that the series come there. Canmore Wins Canmore and Trail, last year representatives of their respective prov inces, are again fighting it out for the right to "go east" on the Allan cup quest.. Canmore eliminated La- combe, who had won the intermediate play-off with High River and had challenged the seniors, 4-1, while Can- more beat Edmonton previously. The Canmore team left for Trail Sunday night. Monarchs Return Afters playing two exhibition games at Nelson, losing one and drawing the Other, Using the round 8-7, Van-^ couver Monarchs leisurely moved back to the coast, following their invasion of Trail, where they met defeat in the B.C. finals. They stopped off at Vernon to whack the provincial intermediate champions 15-4. They turned down an offer to play a series of exhibition games at Regina. Merritt Wins Merritt puckchasers took the measure of the Ashcroft sextette 7-3 In an exhibition game played on perfect Merritt ice. Quebec Undecided Mart'n, Quebec intermediate ■champions, gave Montreal Victorias, the o*her - finalists, an awful jolt when they won the first game by a one-goal margin. The Vice managed to win the second 1-0, so a third game is necessary. Kitchener Ahead ■ K'tchener took the lead In the O.H.A. senior play-offs, defeating University of Toronto 4-2. Fernie Ousted Though they took with them a large number of wild eyed rooters, and a record of outstanding brilliance in winn'ng the B.C. title, Fernie Juniors were as chaff before the wind to Blairmore, and lost two games, 12-2 and 10-1, making the total for the round 22-3. Meet Reglna Regina Monarchs won the junior championship of Saskatchewan, defeating Wesley 11-5 and 7-3.- to take the round 18-8.• They will meet Bla'rmore, Marbcros ofl Toronto took a 2-1 game from Newmarket in the O.H.A. junior finals, while Fort William got the jump over Kenora 4-3 In the Thunder Bay junior play-off. Grads in Air Toronto Grads, Canadian representatives at the Olympic games and world champions, flew from Paris to London and will play an exhibition at the Westminster ice palace. TO USE ELECTRIC POWER DIRECT Mr. Geo. V. Tupper, manager of the Tulameen Gold & Platinum Recovery Company, returned this morning from a brief business trip to Vancouver. Mr. Tupper hopes for an early start in mining operations up the Similkameen, as the plant is practically all in readiness now. One change in operation of the plant which Mr. Tupper proposes making is discarding the gas engines and operating both the shovel and. recovery plant direc* by electricity, instead of gas- electric power as proposed by Mr. McCormack. For this purpose he is negotiating with the West Kootenay for juic^ from their line whicnx passes close' to the claims which* are to be worked. ITHE^PRINCETON STAB, PRINCETON, B. C.

BROWN, Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES British Empire, One Tear I 2.00 Foreign, One Tear 12.60 Payable in Advance. THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1927 REQUIEM Coming with tragic suddennes on the eve of a general election in which ho expected and was expected to take a leading part, the death of Hon. Win. Sloan took away another'of the now depleted body of legislators returned ■to power in 1920, and darkened the fourth portrait In the space of a few months in the gallery ot great men. To British Columbia the death of "Bill" Sloan is as great a blow as the passing of Gen. Haig or Viscount Asquith. British Columbia has lost a great personality, and an able man. Without reviewing his long public career wh'ch commenced, with his election to the federal house ror Comox-Atlin twenty-five years ago, it is sufficient to Bay that by general consent he was the best minister of mines who ever held the portfolio in Victoria. As a mining district, the Similkameen especially looked to him. As a man, "Bill" Sloan did not forfeit humanity to glory. Fortune smiled on him but never spoiled him. Perhaps the best tribute that could be paid to him Is that of tne rival partisan paper of his own city, Na- nalmo: "In the death of "Bill" Sloan Nanaimo loses not only the most distinguished citizen it has produced, but a man whose popularity has never been excelled in the town. Leaving an unsuccessful bus'ness career to find wealth In the Yukon, he- did not let affluence affect his friendships, and to his old friends he was still •BUI' Sloan." CHEVROLET PRODUCTION 8ET8 NEW RECORD It Is probable that no by-election will be necessary, as It Is generally felt that there will be a general election before the statutory six months elapses. Five member elected in 1920 have died in office. risBHaas •£. WHAT WAS DOING HERE TWENTY-FIVE, YEARS MO From the Similkameen Star of March 8, 1903 influenced by the record breaking outputs of January and February, General Motors stock rose $2 a share Saturday to a new high of $141.25, and the general activity of the Chevrolet plants would Indicate that the estimate of Vice-PreBident R. H. Grant of 1000,000 cars this year will be realised. C. Watson of the Princeton Garage, local sales agents for the Chevrolet, predicts that Princeton district will share in the record breaking. A new January record was set this year when 91,584 units were produced, nearly 20,000 units higher than last year's output for the same month, and double the output in January 1926. It was exceeded hy the outputs of only four other months in the history of the concern. Tentative production for February was 112,475 units compared w'th 85.000 for the corresponding month last year and for March 127,000. wh'ch will set a new all time records ifn* all months. Sales not only keep pace with out- nut. buf force production to new records. Over 125,000 cars have been sold for immediate delivery. List vear's performance, when a mlll'on Chevrolets were sold to make the concern the world's largest automotive producer will almost certainly he outstripped. Seven great plants are working at top peak to supply orders ftrom .45 zone headquarters, and a new plant at Atlanta, Ga.( will shortly turn out an additional 350 cars daily. Blocks of shares of from 11,500 to 20,000 are changing hands, while in the first half hour's business Saturday 100,000 shares were sold. Synopsis of Land Act Amendments CONFEDERATION LIFE HOLD EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE J. B. Wood, owner of the Sailor Jack claim on Roche River, returned Wednesday -from the Nickel Plate mine in Hedley camp, where he has been working for the past four months. Max S. Wilson, who has been spend Ing the winter in Vancouver, came in on Saturday's stage from Nicola, and left a few days later of Hedley City. Judge Murphy returned to Granite Creek Sunday, to recuperate after the excitement Incidental to an election campaign. The Nickel Plate Co., have stopped work on their mine in Hedley camp, in order to concentrate all available men on the building of their large stamp mill t.ear Hedley City. A local branch of the Provincial Mining Association has been formed at Olalla with a strong membership. Mr. L. M. Peterkin was appointed .a delegate from Olalla, and left on Feb. 20th to at'end the Vicotria convention. The decis'on of the P.O. department to inaugurate a through mail service between Penticton and Pr'nceton, via O'alla Keremeos and Hedley C'tv, Is regarded wi'h great sa'lsfac- tion here. UNDER FIRE Hot words were passed In the legislature Tuesday ooncern'ng Br"ish Columbia's policing system, which came under the fire of the opposlt'on sharpshooters. The name of Con-. stable Foote, formerly stationed here, was prominent, certain objections being taken to his manner. Constable Foote was transferred from Princeton to Clinton about six months ago. TALKS ON COPPER Outlining the copper mining indue try In Br'tish Columbia, C. P. Browning, general manager of the Britannia Mining and Smelting Company, spent some time in giving an account of the operations of the Granby company at Allenby, Canada stands fifth among copper producing nations, smelting 4.2 per cent, of the world's total. British Columbia contributes 89,000,000 lbs. The future' of the industry is bright, in the view of Mr. Browning, who stresses the importance of copper as a world commodity. TO SPEND $50,000 Word has been received from Mr. John F. Guest, New York, to the effect that he recently organized a new company in New Jersey which is prepared to spend $50,000 in a thorough prospecting of the placer*ground on the Similkameen below Princeton. Mr. Ouest expects to return to Princeton about he 10th of April. It is also learned that the New Tork company which had an option on placer leases up the Tulameen, and did extensive exploratory thereon last fall, have abandoned the enterprise. Reverses on the stock market and doubt as to the value of the black sands recovered on tbe claims, are reasons said to be given tor thsir MtlMb Representatives of the Confederation Life Association of Southern British Columbia, met In conference at the Incola Hotel, Penticton, on Tuesday, with Mr. C.

The plaintiff claims that outside $20 monthly sepatatoin allowance paid by her husband, and assets not exceeding $500 she is without means, and seeks provision from the estate for herself and her. three-year-old son. It is pleaded that because she refused to leave her husband after ill treatment her father tore up a will in her favor, and also that when he made his last will he was not In his right mind. By this will, executed March 24, a sum of $1000 was left to the deceased's sister, Lily Gil* lesple of Ottawa, the remainder set aside for the equipment of public hospital wards.

Erected 1927. H ere an dTh ere A|Qreat New Essex With a car as with any new acquaintance a good first im- ssion depends largely on an attractive favorable appearance. Essex in 1928 you will find better dressed than ever before. Here is a long, roomy, full sized motor car, with outstanding Super-Six performance, with generous oversize tires, and characteristics of appearance, design and equipment that have/ been used heretofore only by cars of superlative quality and highest price. Your impression, as you stand 15 or 25 feefaway, is that the 1028 Essex is appreciably larger and roomier than the; 1927 cars. THE SEDAN Wide doors, front and rear_make all Essex Sedan seats very accessible. Door windows, long in proportion to thier depth, give this car the appear* ance of even more length than has been added to it. THE COUPE The roomy new Essex Coupe has commodious luggage space under its wide opening rear, deck hatch; and a comfortable leather upholstc red rumble seat as . n inbuilt feature. THE COACH Longer, wider, roomier, the Essex Coach is ^ full sized five-passenger Super-Six, a distinctive as well as extremely p tical family car. WM. DAI LEY AQENT Princeton, B.C.

Fifteen hundred merchants in Western Canada participated in the shipment which was handled as a special train by the Canadian Pacific through to Vancouver.

The large number of pumps going forward suggests that the Western farmer has decided to carry no more water if hit housekeeper will do ao mora wasMgg, '-t^'..'"-^ <20) Invited to see Montreal by the hotels and the tourist and convention bureau of the city, 76 members of the Massachusetts Hotel Men's Association spent a week-end recently there and were given a royal reception. As their president, Emil Coulon, said, "We came to sell New England to Montreal, but you have sold Montreal and Quebec province to us." During the usually quiet immigration months of December and January the Canadian. Colonization Association colonized 76 families who took up land to the extent of 22,734 acres. In 1927 the Canadian •Pacific Railway, through its land department and its subsidiary (the C. C. A.) placed 2,094 families on Canadian farms, this "including 626- ffamilies averaging 5. persons to the [credit of the Association and 1,529 families on C. P. R. lands. CANADIANS LIKE EGGS Ottawa, March 7.—Canadians appear to be regarded as phenomenal egg eaters. In a report received from the Canadian Trade Commissioner Harrison Watson, stationed in Old London, it is pointed out that the consumption of eggs in Canada amounts to 337 per head for population per annum, outstripping the rest of the world in this respect. The consumption of other countries is given as Belgium 213, United States 180, France 133. Great Britajn 126, Germany 117, Sweden 85, Denmark 75, and Norway. 61. The movement of British youth to Canada promises to be considerably heavier than usual, due to new arrangements made with the British Government. Ontario is taking 500 boys, Manitoba 60 and the Maritime Provinces and Saskatchewan an indeterminate number, while some hundreds are to be moved by private organizations. In all it is estimated some 2,000 boys Will probably be brought out under the new scheme this summer. Another body of sportsmen are finding Montreal and Eastern Canada good places in winter as well as summer. The Appalachian Mountain Club, of Boston, picked the best period of the winter season to spend a weak in-tile' Lauren- tians mainly devoted to ski-ing, but with sleighing, dog-mushing and tobogganing thrown in. It was the first time they had ever visited this district in winter and they are going to repeat it. Resignation of Colonel Walter Maughan as Canadian Pacific Steamship Passenger Traffic Manager has been followed by the appointment of William Baird, '■ who was assistant European Manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway in London, Eng. Mr. Baird, whose appointment is effective March 1, joined the Allan Line- steamship company at Glasgow as junior clerk in 1906 and came into C. P. service when that company took over the Allan- lane in 1916. Bee keeping in Saskatchewan made marked progress in 1927, there being an increase of 46 per cent in the number of colonies over those of 1926 and an increase of 191 percent in the 1927 honey crop over that of the previous year. The number of spring colonies in'-M27 was 3,803 which increased to 5,962 by the fall eount;""'The production of comb honey for the year was 64,042 pounds'and of extracted honey 438,- 932 pounds, making an average production per colony of 148 Vi pounds. Airplanes are now being used to herd vast numbers of reindeer in the big Arctic stock farms, according to Ralph Lomen, pioneer of the reindeer industry of Alaska. "It's a new idea and it's not being practiced regularly, but herding Joy airplanes seem feasible," said Mr. Lomen. "Our head herdsman went out recently and in two hours accomplished as much as would otherwise have required a week with six men. There is room for 12,000,000 reindeer in the northern tundra of Canada and such a herd would be worth $50,000,000. It could be dona in 60 years if Canada started now in a modest way." FRUIT GROWERS SIGNING CONTRACT READILY Vernon.—Okanagan fruit* 1 growers are signing this year's contract with alarcity due; in the opinion of officials of the Associated, to the gen eral satisfactory condition of the local units of the Association, contrasted with the 1923 condition. The south is doing especially well, Oliver and Kaleden registering practically .100 per cent., while Keremeos is also reporting progress. Penticton. and Naramata are expected to show increases. REDUCE IRRIGATION CHARGE3 Victoria, March 7.—Reduction by the government of 25 per cent, in capital- charges in Okanagan irrigation districts is hailed with acclaim by members of the legislature. A bill fostered by Hon. T. D. Pattullo, minister of lands, will mean instant relief for the fruit growers. FARMERS' INTEREST EA8IER Victoria, March 7.—Another measure of relief for the British Columbia farmer is being provided by tbe Mac- Lean government. Through an amendment to the Land Settlement Board Act. introduced by Hon. E. D. Barrow, minister of agriculture, the interest rate on all farmers' loans will be reduced from seven and one- balf per cent, to six per cent., in order that every facility may be pro- v'ded for the stimulation of the agricultural Industry. PENTICTON PRINCE8 OF PEACE POSITIVELY PERTURBED Penticton.-—That gentle bird, the dove of peace, rests ■ with ruffled feathers as the city fathers loudly and learnedly clamor for harmony. It is purely an error of commission, if any. The situation is this: The careful editor seeks the advice of the city clerk before malting a change in the title of a municipal official in connection with the publication of the annual report, it being the custom for the clerk to prescribe. A conscientious alderman feels that the clerk is making himself too indispensible, and a more outspoken colleague tells the clerk "he is running the whoJe council himself and he will have none of. it." An indignation resolution is framed "putting the clerk in his place," but the wise counsel of the reeve and peacemaker prevails, and so-called harmony reigns once more. WOULD CORRELATE SPORTS Penticton.—An effort to vest full control of all amateur sport in one association will be made here. Penticton believes the plan ot joint control, as adopted by so many cities, will be financially better and will give sport a greater opportunity for expansion. A committee consisting of H. B. Morley, J. C. Barry and W. A. Bain has the matter in hand. POWER RATES ARBITRATED Signifying the company's ^recognition of the board's power to adjudicate the dispute between Grand Forks and the company over proposed power rate for Grand Porks and surrounding cities, the West Kootenay Power & Light Co", has filed with the provincial water board the proposed schedule. The next step will be the tiling by the city of objections, when the board will proceed to judge its first case of the k'nd. The West Kootenay lines supply Princeton, with power. PLANT FI8H IN OKANAGAN LAKE Vernori.—250,000 whitefish fry were last week planted in Okanagan Lake by Harry Morgan, assistant fisheries overseer. The fry were hatched in the Summerland hatchery. The whitefish is the best ot the fresh water food fish, and a valuable industry may be in the embryo. NOW Is the time to have your tires overhauled a.td put In shape for the spring opening.

PENTICTON TOO Penticton.—Penticton has fallen in line with other southern interior cities in demanding cheaper power from the West Kootenay Power and Light Company. A movement is on foot here to have the council make a substantial cut in view of the new con'ract formulated.

The one reduces the levy on the remainder of the 1927 crop to 25 cents per ton, retroactive Feb. 7, while the other order confirms the minimum "base prices aire-' dy established for various grades —$21 per ton for "A" grade, and $13 per ton tor "B" grade Gems, $18 for "A" grade and $10 for "B" grade whites. f V *% TbtiiRidiaies and mine J KELOWNA TAXE8 8AME Kelowna.—Though several debenture issues will be submitted to ratepayers for approval within the next few months, no increase is likely in the tax levy, owing to the maturing of debentures this year and next effecting a large reduction in the municipal debt. The 1927 tax rate was 47 mills. TRADE BOARD ACTIVE Merr'tt.—Merritt board of trade has taken a new lease on life, and is reorganized, with fresh Mood included, for a campa'gn of progress.

Agent, Princeton Activities of Similkameen Member Keep" Members Busy and Attract Attention BEVY OF QUESTIONS HURLED AT HEADS OF DEPARTMENT DURING PAST WEEK; MANY B.C. PAPERS COMMENT ON WORK With the end of the spring session in sight, and dissolution likely before the next sitting, the passage of bills, chiefly government measures, occupies the major portion of the time of the House, but W. A. McKenzie, Similkameen member, continues to pop questions at the ministers. This week public works, education, liquor control all came under fire. The following questions answered and introduced are from the current issues of Votes and Proceedings. Of the Attoreny General— Q. Is I here a liquor store at Telegraph Creek? A. Yes. Q. Who Is the liquor vendor? A. H. W. Dodd. Q. What were the recteipts for the store for 1927? A. See appendix C, sixth annual report of the liquor control board. These were the only questions answered this week, but a veritable shoal of them await the harassed ministers when time gives opportunity. . iukjfa Of the Minister of Public Works- concerning paved highways in the province, give total mileage, cost, and cost to various parties. Of the Attorney General—A number of queslons regarding the liquor store at Telegraph Creek, the vendor, community, number of convictions, and so forth. Of the Attorney General—Concerning one Smythe, asking if Smythe, originally game warden at Revelstoke, later constable at Princeton, .constable at Golden, was later reappointed game warden, and reasons in each case why his services were dispensed with. Of the Minister of Public Works— What sum of money has been expended for engineering work other than work done by department engineers since 1918? What sum for wages? Of the Minister of Education— Concerning the University of British Columbia: What sum has been spent In maintaining the faculty of agriculture? What number of students are now studying there, and how many have graduated? How many graduates are employed by the government? What was the cost of operation in 1927? . Of the Minister of Mines—How many mines in British Columbia are supplying ore at the present time? What mines? How many such mines are located between Squamish and pressed in connection with the text book question. Mr. McKenzie objects to the use of American made-text books, especially those used in the primary grades. The premier explained that these books could not be obtained in Canada, and were judiciously selected by a committee of about fifteen educationalists. Mr. McKenzie did not believe Canada could not produce books like these. .:'r&».-' DISTRICT MINING ENGINEER SEES REVIVAL IN INDUSTRY Mining in the Similkameen is experiencing a revival stated Philip B. Freeland, provincial government png.neer 'n the soutoern mineral sur- vfry district number 4, visiting in Vancouver. Because of good transportation fee ."'ties. ?.Tr. Freeland holds, lower n ill' i-al -vi.lues can be worked more profitably than in other parts of thej province. The district generally Isj served by good -roads. Intensive prospecting is the only thing needed to bring about development, and with more prospectors in the field now than for several years past, all signs indicate more general activity. Mr. Freeland is to deliver a lec- true on the evening of March 9 on the mining activity of the district, covering the present operations and the future opportunities of the mining zone around Princeton. He will speak under the auspices of the British Columbia Chamber of Mines, in the board of trade auditorium. URGE COAL SUDSIDIES Recommending to the federal government the payment of subsidies for the carrying of coal from the western provinces to eastern markets, the Woodward motion passed the House without division. The resolution was opposed by Diigald MoPheraon, Grand Forks-Greenwood who thought both bounties and coal lesearch useless, and held that B.C. would merely be taxed to help another province. SALE OF HIDES ILLEGAL Sale of game hides is illegal in this province, It was held by His Honor Judge Young of Smithers, when in county oourt a resident Was fined for selling the hide of a mountain goat, killed legally. It has been the custom In most parts of the province to sell the hides of bear, goats and other big game animals, and the ruling is both interesting and startling. .^.^ji^S^i TO SAVE MANY FISH Quesnel? What is the distance approximately of each mine from any! depot on the P.G.E., and what is. the name of such mine? j Okangan.—Between 10,000 and 20,- Of the. Minister of Public Works—i 000 f'sh will be saved from perishing What sums have been spent on hlgh-| in the irrigation ditches, by the de- ways in the various ridings from the, cision to install a fish trap, follow- various loan acts? What sum has j ing conferences between the fish and game -protection society and officials of the government. The fish leave Salmon Creek and enter the canals. Over 400 were found in one small ditch last year. MONEY FOR RUBBISH Colfax.—Dumped with rubbish from a remodeled building, stock in the world famous Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining company valued at $201,- 000 was picked up hear a service station here. The house had belonged -to Gen. H. W. Livingstone, Col« fax pioneer, Now for a ransacking of the Princeton dump p'le! BAILIFF TO ENTER AT EXPENSE OF DOCTOR been spent on highways and bridges in various ridings between April 1, 1927, and Jan. 1, 1928? Revives Old Issue Still « foe to the University building scheme, W. A. McKenzie, Similkameen member, teamed with his party leader to stir up echoes of a public accounts controversy heard three years ago In the matter of over-commitments on the University scheme. Though violating the procedure of committee, the Tory gladiators had several offioials of the department of public works and accounting department, including the Hon. Dr. Sutherland, on the stand, and were permitted access to ail .documents as they desired, ik&fci It wag admitted that the methods of the former accountant had not been satisfactory and that after the investigation into the over-committment he had been dismissed. The contracts of the Ryan. Construction Company, for the University buildings, and of the Palmer company, for paving on University roads, were under fire. Deputy Works Minister-Philip explained in the case of the award of the paving contract that originally a large scheme had been proposed, and tenders called for, these being supplied on a unit basis, When it was decided to do only part of the work the contract went to the lowest bidder on this unit basis. Buildings Cost $2,000,000 The total cost of the buildings was $2,200,930.61 of which the science building absorbed $740,000. Had the entire building scheme been carried out as proposed, the cost to the prov- lnoe would have baen in the neighborhood of $12,000,000. The Ryan company's profits amounted to about $74,000.

Such is the view taken by the Ottawa Journal, commenting on the laudable effort of our federal member to chase the nigger out of the woodpile. According to Mr. Stirling, who comes from the Okanagan Valley, a farmer in that fair clime puts 140 Extra Fancy Delicious apples into a box and sells the whole thing for $2.35. After that a railway company takes the box and brings it to Ot- 'awa fo» a charge of 75 jlents, plus ten cenfs for;heat'ng. There is also (only the Lord knows why) a brokerage charge of five cents on the box; the result being that when the apples get here their cost is about two and a half cents each. While not calling the harassed re taller a robber, or laying the blame at any particular doorstep, the Journal is anx'ous to know where the 'tern of 9% cents creeps in, marking the difference between the alleged nost of the apnles and the two-for-a- quarter price its scribe paid for his last apples. DISLIKE "POLICE" IDEA Osoyoos.—A demand for better post office accommodation is being put forward by Osoyoos, one of several items considered at an enthusiastic meeting held in the school house. .The idea was put forward of petitioning for rural mail delivery, as Oliver has clone, but when it was considered that this would eliminate the Osoyoos post office, the scheme was unanimously turned down, A committee was appointed to request the government to place Osoyoos townsite in order that expansion be no longer retarded, and the school board was authorized to commence formation of a school district in order that finances for the school might be more economically and equitably taken care of.- For the past ten years voluntary labor and subscriptions have swelled the government grant. The establishment of' a central packing house was also advocated, the majority of the growers realizing the disadvantages of packing at home, .

TOBACCO GROWERS FACE HARD FACTS Vernon. — Unpleasant facts came to light when a hundred tobacco growers, members of the B.C. Tobacco Growers Association, met a group representing the B.C. Tobacco Products Co., Ltd., Vancouver, in Kelowna to discuss the marketing of the 1927 crop. Of the $50,000 originally subscribed, most had been expended, and there is insufficient for the marketing of the 1927 crop. An official, who after ascertaining that at least 400 acres would be taken out in tobacco last spring went to Europe, and America with an object of finding a market, met opposition as a result of the dissatisfaction with Ontario tobacco. This move failing, the cabinet was appealed to at Victoria, but could not assist. A group of men owning stock in the Tobacco Products Company, feeling a certain amount of responsibility, made the trip to the interior to Interview the growers. They offer a small advance payment per pound, and plan to ship the tobacco east for further processing. If they secure an advantageous offer in the east, they will sell, and if not, will ship to Great Britain. If the returns are sufficient to permit it, an additional sum will be paid to the growers, but if. not, they must be content with the first payment. In the even of more money being received than the contract calls for, it will be retained by the syndicate to finance future crops. A contract for a term of years which does not fix prices, is being prepared, FERRY TRAFFIC UP A. total of 14,444 cars passed the international boundary in 1927, over the Okanogan-Cariboo trail, compared with 12,277 the year previously. The Kelowna ferry from April 1 to October 31 carried 13 352 cars as against 9,163 for the same period in 1926. These figures ate especially sigj nif'cant when it is remembered that 1927, by weather, was an abnormal year for touiist traffic, the number of cars using the Pacific Highway decreasing by 40 per cent. PROTECT KOOTENAY FI8H All lakes in West Kootenay and Boundary districts a,re closed for fishing from March l' to April 30 to give parent fish an' opportunity to get to the spawning grounds. The closure does not affect Rocky Mountain whitefish (grayling), or char. With the exception of the Kootenay River, no streams in West Kootenay or Boundary will be open till May 24. Kootenay River opens May 1. East Kootenay regulations are unchanged. Production of gold in the Republic district increased from $156,765 in 19S6 to 312,413 in 1927, while the production of gold in the entire State of Washington increased from $1S'3,092 to $396 000. Quilp mine was the largest producer, Last Chance a close second. Penticton had its first snowdrop. Feb. 22, in the garden of W. B. Turner.

Quite a number of Hedleyltes who have been holidaying on the outside returned the first of the Week in readiness for the renewal of operations at the mine and mill. Among these we noticed Mr. Harry Barnes Who reported a very pleasant holiday in Victoria, with plenty of golf. A. E. Howse of Princeton received a letter from "Mary Ellen" Smith, M.L.A., this week, thanking him for enclosing a clipping from the Toronto Globe commenting on the views recently expressed by her. Mrs. Smith is an apt correspondent, says Mr, Howse. -vitaMi{7 Mrs, W.

The first, dated Feb. 22, names Dr. Lee Smith, Alfred Sorenson and John Nathan trustees, under the title "The Princeton Provincial Park Board," while the second sets aside "Lot 1091, Similkameen, formerly Osoyoos, Division of Yale District" for park purposes. Wm. Oxiey of Coalmont, who was in town on Wednesday, states that for the present only one shift will operate at the Coalmont Collieries. The res'dents, generally, he says, regret the closing of the Princeton- Coalmont road during the winter months, and he voices the opinion tha- if the road were kept open it would be used a great deal, as citizens there appreciate the opportunity of being able to get down to Princeton occasionally as a break in the winter monotony. Martin Muir has returned to Princeton after his usual winter visit in the Ch'lcotin. In past winters Martin found interesting and profitable employment hunting coyotes in the northern district. This year, however, he states that although the coyotes were more numerous than ever it was most difficult to take them, as. with the exceptionally deep snow the an'mals were able to prey upon the deer, and disdained to look at anything in the way of bait. He reported both deer and moose as being very plentiful in the Cariboo. Essence of Wit A canny Scot held up the queu at Euston station while ilie {inquired into all the fares to his destination.

PLAN CITY LEAGUE An effort will be made to organize a city basketball league following Saturday night's games, and' all interested are asked to remain. It is proposed to form three branches, girls, senior and Junior, and the league would undoubtedly benefit the town. Princeton will be unable to consider the offer of Vancouver normal to play here. It was proposed to bring two teams, but the locals did not feel equal to the proposition. A game with Penticton is likely to be arranged in the near future. R'.'MOR jSAYS BLAKEBURN MINERS LAID 0-r* S;tty i. ett have been laid off at BlakeKiu, according to a repi't '.■•ri-u^lit into town today by residents of that <&mp. Shortage of order* is given -s tbe reason. During th; rust, few .wcf.k- mines all over the province have experienced a slump, Vancouver Island, mines working espi- ciaOy slack. It is uncertain how long this condition will exist but it is to be hoped in the interests ot all that it wil' not be long. AT THE PRINCE8S Charlie Murray is credited with being one of the two funniest men on the screen, basing his claim on twenty years' popularity in the Murray and Mack combination. In "McFad- den's Flat" he meets the other one. The world's two funniest men build entirely on a foundation of fun, a cornerstone of comedy, with shingles of smiles and rafters of roars. There Is nothing serious about Rex Taylor's side splitting story. It is simply the apex of hilarity. MAY HAVE FIGHT 0ARD Princeton may be treated to some really good boxing in the near future, if the hopes of some ot our leading sportsmen are realized. Trustees ot the Orange Hall, led by-Per- ley Russell, see a chance to kill two birds with one stone, converting profits from boxing shows to help pay off the debt on the hall, at the same time treating the city to some first class fights. The idea would be to bring in only first class men, and three first raters of the coast have already expressed willingness to come in the event of arrangements going through. It would cost approximately $500 to bring in these men, and the 1 oal promoters very muoh doubt if Princeton could finance such a proposition. It Is pointed out that the fight cards here last fall were a marked success, though expenses were less than the sum considered at present. Tommy Bur&e, it will be remembered, came into real prominence as a result of his Victory here, it pr©vld» ing him with a stepping stone to higher things. Perhaps when the roads upen up and the local sportsmen are given a little encouragement we shall hear more * this excellent idea, Penticton.—A runaway team of horses and a resultant pile-up led to the arrest of two Indians, subsequently charged with drunkenness.
