THE PRINCETON STAR Published in the Interests of Mining and Agriculture in the Similkameen Twenty-Ninth Year—No. 5 J PRINCETON, B.C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER I. 1928 PER YEAR: Sa.oo Cub Single Copy ac Minister of Works Visitor to Simitkameeo Over Week=end; Learns Community's Needs Accompanied by Hon. W. A. McKenzie, Hon. Nels Lougheed Pays Visit to Princeton, Copper Mountain and Lower Valley Early completion of the Hope- Princeton road, a re-adjustment of the local riding in provincial voting, completion of the Prince- ton-Peachland road by Five Mile, and the re-esi'ablishment here of the -ax collector's office, were the chief demands made of the Hon. Minister of Public Works, N. S. Lougheed, Dewdney, who visited Princeton in company with Hon. W. 'A. McKenzie, minister of mines and local member in the provincial house, Saturday. The works minister's sojourn here, though brief, was well occupied, and could not help but be instruct've He saw for himself the needs and possibili'ies of Princeton and the area tributary. He was met by a number of local men in the court house, under the auspices of the looal Conservative Association, and the feelings of th's community regarding Princeton's treatment as regards the expenditure of public monies were not restrained. Hope-Princeton Road - The Hope-Princeton road was the principal matter urged. H. W. R. Moore and A. S. Black were its-prin- c'pal advocates, and made out an excellent case for Princeton's greatest need. They were adequately supported by various other local speakers. The works minister caused a wave of disappointment when it was construed from his remarks that the U government realized the need for this I road, and fully in*ended to build it, but it was not likely that it could be undertaken for a year or two. A storm of dissent showed Mr. Lougheed that his sentiments were no* in accord with local wishes. Local speakers showed how the work had been delayed long out of its proper turn, and that it was an immediate necessity. _s$£e> Peachland Road Mr. McKenzie answered the plea for the completion of the Peachland- Pr.'nceton road, via F*ve Mile. He was, he said, thoroughly conversant with the facts regarding it, and rar heartily in favor of the project. The road requires tut two miles of new work, and $2000 would establish ai direct link between Pr'nceton and the Okanagan. The min's'ers also gave a*ten"v» ear to the other requ?s's and prcm ised to carry them to Victoria. Visited District Tr'ps to Copper Mt. and down the S'milkameen aVlley served to show the minister of works that Princeton's claims for recognition were not unwarranted. The party made a trip over the improved Oopper Mountain road to the Granby's workings Saturday morning and saw what was being done. Saturday afternoon they had an opportunity of travelling over the Keremeos road, and the trip should have been more eloquent than words In bringing an under- ,% standing of the vital need for Improvements on this highway, The minister saw the lower valley at the peak of its harvest activity. He was also given, an opportunity to see how unfortunately Princeton had been treated ln the matter of side' walks and the like. True to his vow, Andy Johnson collared him and walked him over the sidewalk at that end of the town. "Now, do you know of any town that can compare with that?" "Yes, I believe Lytton is as bad. The cows break up the walks there." "These are the same walks that the cows' broke lip here many years ago." Left Monday The visiting cabinet members ar- rlvde on Saturday morning's train. They were met here by G. C. McKay, ' district road superintendent, Penticton, who accompanied them on their tour oC the valley. They left by Monday afternoon's- train for the ooast. About a score of local men attended the meeting in the court house. jfc It was unfortunate that the visit- was not a little better arranged. It would seem that the board of trade was the proper body to take charge of reception plans, and as It was there were several local men disappointed in not meetiijg the minister. WHI8T DRIVE FRIDAY NIGHT Cabinet ministers have been givng this section of the province considerable attenion recently, and visits of the minister of lands and minister of works cannot help bui. have done good. The works miivsters also made himself acquainted with the Okanagan Lake situation, and the minister of lands looked into the Oliver case and also went on to the boundary country. Their chief object v/as to make themselves acquainted at first hand with the conditions ln these parts. Their visits were in keep- ing.with the policy of the Tolmie government to make a careful survey of the needs of the entire province. Mf, Burden at Oliver As a,result of the visit to the Oliver project by Hon. F. P. Burden, minis'er cf lands, who was accom- pan'ed by Hon. Mr. McKenzie, it is believed that the provincial government w'll take steps to bring more settlers into the reclaimed area, and thereby reduce the taxation burden on the present owners. A revision in the pries of meadow lands at Oliver is considered possible. Much low lying land was flooded this spr'ng, and many were 'he complaints to settlers. Mr. Burden's object is to alleviate the burden on the settlers. It is understood that the Oliver project is included with the Sumas and Camp Lister (East Kootenay. areas in the government's plan to bring o tusettlers from the old country. It is I'kely that the government will make a downward revision of prices of all meadow land at the Oliver project, and buyers will j acept It subject to any flbod conditions which may hereafter arise. It is hardly likely there will be any change in the price of the more valuable fruit land sections, except that the government may slash the price of the land which it planted to fruit itself. Irrigation Matters Irrigation matters, the chief concern of ths Grand1 Forks area at trls time, were attentively studied when Mr. Burden visl'ed that sect'on, accompanied by Major J. C. McDonald, comptroller of water rights, and Dr. C M. Kingston, member for Grand Forks-Greenwood. After viewing the irrigation- system, the minister met in conference with water users, and showed appreciation for their dificulties. While he did not commit himself, he let It be understood that he would take practical measures for the relief of the water users. He is making a study of irrigation systems in the province so as to be able to form, a study of irrigation systems in the province so as to be able to form ulate a definite policy. He went to Creston and Nelson. Flood Dangers Flood dangers in the Okanagan were the -principal study of Hon. Mr. Lougheed in his visit to the Okanagan, He made an inspection of the shore along Okanagan Lake which this spring, as in the past, gave serious trouble from wash-outs. Hon. Mr. McKenzie, who has been making a tour of the province to acquaint himself with actual conditions in the mining industry, recently visited the Trail-Eossland country. Garage Downs Hotel Team By Margin of Two Points INTERESTING BASKETBALL SERVED UP BY INTERMEDIATES IN LAST THURSDAY NIGHT'S CONTEST Merritt high school boys and girls teams failed to come over to Princeton for their games wtih local high teams arranged for Saturday last. Merritt evidently got word of the paralysis scare and thought it wiser to postpone the trip, In view of circumstances. While this was somewhat disappointing, local fans will have plenty of opportunity to see outside teams in action. It is likely that the Merritt boys and girls will seek to secure another date, and several Okanagan teams would be pleased enough to visit. Until the local association gets on its feet, however, it will not be too ambitoins in this line. There will be no break ln the city league schedule. Dr. Smith having, given the assurance that there was no need to cancel the games tonight. Accordingly, an unusually good Program has been lined up, and. a bumper crowd is expected. Town Wins at Merritt A basket scored with only ten seconds to go made all the difference in the world in deciding the championship of the Merritt basketball league when the town team won from I.O.O.F., 13-12. Penticton In Line In a week the entire situation has changed at Penticton. Last week there was no organization, and apparently no interest. This week there is a well organized club with a new adn active executive, ambitious plans, and a dee'ded note of optimism. Senior B, intermediate B and intermediate girls' teams are planned. W. J. Allerton Is president, Taylor Beatty secretary and T. B. Williams manager.

McConnell. It will likely be held at an early date. Princeton Football O'ub will hold their whist drive and dance tomorrow night, and expect to cater to a large crowd. Good prizes will be pro- . vided, refreshments will be served, and a three-piece orchestra will provide the music. Constable Walter Gill made a motor trip to Kamloops yesterday. He gxpecU to be back tonight, Campbell McAlpine left Tuesday morning tor Summerland and Okanagan points, and expects to be absent some time. Appropriations have been made, and commissions granted which wil ensure the keeping open of loca roads this winter, Mr. G. C McKay, district road superintendent, is said to have given- the assurance to local men on the occasion of his visit this week-end. This was one of the planks of the platform of looal men to be pressed on the minister of works, but they are eviden*ly well satisfied by this assurance, and did not press the matter at all. A considerable sum has been set aside for the work, and the snow plow will be us'ed to keep Cop' per Mountain road open. MOTHER OF LOCAL WOMAN IS CALLED BY DEATH PRINCESS THEATRE Friday and Saturday November 2nd and 3rd "Smilin' at Trouble" starring MAURICE FLYNN A stirring melodrama with an engineering background. Monday and Tuesday November 5th and 8th KEN MAYNARD In "Gun Gospel" The GC-'een's greatest cowboy s.ar in a do luxe outdoor drama. The death occurred Friday morn'ng last in Kootenay Lake general hospital, of Mrs. Charles Peterson, well known ln the Boundary, Kootenay and Similkameen ridings, and a resident of Nelson, intermittently, for the pest thirty years. . Deceased was born In Sweden 47 years ago, and after first settling at Nelson moved to the Boundary country, residing at Grand Forks. In 1916 she returned to the Kootenay, I again taking up residence at Nelson. I She had been ill some time when jdea'h relieved her of her suffering She is survived by several relatives. Her husband has resided in Princeton many years. There are two I daughters and three sons: Mrs. James iWaugh. residing here; Mrs. A. D.

Pleeash were.present at the last rites, returning Tuaiday, The ghost walked last night for a number of local people. Hallowe'en ln Princeton i_. by no means dull, and last night's celebration was no exception. The streets presented a picturesque appearance in the early evening as young maskers fere abroad, and this morning the appearance was even more picturesque. A strange transformation had come over Bridge street. At one full sweep cf the witches or what they be, it had suddenly become a co-.I yard, a menagerie, a garage, and plenty of other things, all In one. A number of coal cars which one suspects must have come from the old Princeton Colliery yards, had made their way up town and were parked unceremon-'ously in front of various p'aces of business. 8tage Takes Trip Even the old Welby stage felt the spirit of youth revive in its creak- Ink bones, and wended its blissful! way from its drab Snd dusty quarters behind the Cook store to take a lordly command in front of tha! opposition headquarters, Wagenhaus-1 er's. It found plenty of company in coal cars, oil barrels, and the like. In fact Br'dge street looked like No Man's Land, and the Departmental Store the fortress of Ypres after the j bombardment. Some signs got curiously misplaced, with' a somewhat humorous result. Other signs, and many other moveable objects, merely came down.; Ladders found strange resting places. A few trees sprang up on local ver-! anrfahs. The old Jacobson Overland took aj m'dnight visit in front of MacDon-; aid's store, but was removed from the bargain lis. before dawn. Bridge street would have been a junk man's paradise. Soap, Soap, Soap The youngsters had their fun, too, it being suspected that the small ur-| chins were hardly responsible for some of the antics outlined above.' Their chief asset was soap, so obnoxious in the bathroom. They used it plentifully, and some of their epi-, grams and epitaphs were admirably, inspired. Altogether, though, it was quite.a| sane hallowe'en. There certainly was plenty of fun, judging by the post- j mortem evidence, but 'there v/as little wanton damage, which ls to the credit of the local youth. For the less adventurous minds,, there was plenty of social frolics, al particularly bright party being held, at Copper Mountain. The hallowe'en' dance here was postponed. There were no arrests, no hard; feelings, and many laughs. There was only one accident, and all in all it was quite a memorable evening, it is said. Little Danger Felt of Epidemic of Infantile Paralysis in Princeton Panic Quite Uncalled for; Schools to Re-open Monday; No Ban on Other Gatherings; Ordinary Precautions All That Are Necessary With no cases reported beyond the single fatality Saturday, the situation In Princeton with regard to infantile paralysis is quite easy, and no fears are held out of an epidemic. Schools will re-open Monday, and Princeton, suffering' from a distinct tho_gh unwarranted scare, will get back to normal next week. There has been absoluteyl no occasion for panic, and the attitude taken by some people was in the least foolish. All sorts of rumors circulated Saturday and Sunday, and one would hive thought Princeton was under siege of a devastating epidemic. I Ordinary precautions alone are urged, and the local authorities are to be commended on the sane attitude they have taken. Dr. Smith at once communicated with provincial health officers. Schools were thoroughly fumigated Monday with formaidahyde, and no parent need have any danger of possible Infection from this source. Dr. Smith had no statement to make on the situation other than this. He did not consider the situation war- ranted any, and certainly there is no occasion for panic. No ban haj been placed on local gatherings whatever, and the few cancellations have been quite voluntary. It was only common sense to close the schools under the circumstances. This is the first visitation of the "mystery disease" here, though there was a death in Hedley last year, and on here from paralysis of the throat this spring. -Iggg DEATH END3 SUFFERINGS OF MRS. DAVID DOR8EY III Many Years, Respected Local Woman Passes on Monday Morning CAR STOLEN FROM IN FRONT OF HARRY TIMM8> HOUSE Local police are looking for a somewhat aged Studebaker oar bearing D1440 license plate, which disappeared from In front of the home of Harry Tims, where It had been parked Monday night. It was a 192.2 model, special, tour-' ing. fin shed in black. No clues have been sported, though police have been c:r3Ularlzed. Mr. Tims left the car parked in i front :f his house on retiring. When I he awoke it v/as gone. He thought j that some of his fellow employees of tho Princeton Garage must have bor-j rowed it, but later found that none had j He then thought that a man who had hired the night previously had again h?d need of it, and the loss was not reported to the police for some hours. Mr. Madore of the Similkameen' Garage heard a clicking sound asj if someone had turned off the lights, and he got up to see a car speeding away. A battery was missing. It is thought that the thieves had probably tried to get gas, though the tank was full. The tires were in good shape. LEGION NAMES H. W.R.MOORE PRESIDENT AT MEETING FRIDAY H. W. R. Moore was elected president of Princeton branch Canadian Legion, B.E.8.L., when an enthusiastic general meeting Friday n'ght made plans for a revival of ex-service men'e activities here. Officers elected were: Past president, Chas. R. Wa'son; president, H. W. R. Moore; first vice-president. W. A. Wagenhauser; second vice-president, j. a. Brown; secretary, P. Schoroid; executive, J'. Horrocks, J. Mitchell, J. Rotherham, J. Gulliford, G. O Haselden. The legion ls determined to make a better showing in the community, and has plans for regular meetings, wi'h the hope of eventually securing Its own quarters and club rooms. fix- tenslve plans have been made for the annual observance of Arwfttlct S&y, Life's flickering candle fading Into darkness after many years ot nlcraesingly intense suffering, Mrs. Sara Bell Dorsey,. beloved wife of Mr. David Dorsey of the Dorsey ranch, D'Arcy Mountain, passed away at the home of Mrs. Ferguson here early Monday morning. Afflicted with a grievous turner, Mrs. Dorsey's life slowly ebbed and death brought a sweet relief from last days of intense suffering. Through it all remained the wonderful love of her husband, who sacrificed everything for her sake. No man could have done more for anyone than Dave Dorsey did in the long period of Mrs. DorSey's fatal illness, and the memory of his affection and devotion is tho best monument the late Mrs. Dorsey could have. The late Mrs. Dorsey, by birth Sara" Bell Judson, was born in Iowa March 3, 1863. She had led an active life prior to her illness, and was very well known in several communities. She spent several years in Kansas, being first married to Frank Tollman in Boise, Idaho, 1879, At Camp McKinney She was,at Camp McKinney in the halcyon days of the Fairview mining center, and in 1913 was at Copper Mountain, whore she served as cook for some time. She .later lived on the Washington coast. Ten years ago she married Mr. Dorsey, her first husband having died some years previously. Eight years ago last June the family came to Blakeburn, Mr. Dorsey being employed as stableman at the Blakeburn camp for five years. They purchased the D'Arcy Mountain ranch from John Cartoon about five years ago, but did not occupy it until May IP, 1&27. By this timo Mrs. Dorsey's illness had bceonie serious, and she could not settle. Tha last six years of her life had been spent in moving from place to place seeking health and change. Mr. Dorsey did all anyone could to gratify her whims, bat medical science could do nothing, and time alone was ths avenger. She become an inmate of Sacred Heart Hospital, Spokane, for some time, and had a long spell in the local hospital. Many Relatives The late Mrs. Dorsey leaves many relatives to mourn her loss. There are four daughters, all married, all by her first husband. They are Mrs J Shropshairo, Blakeburn; Mrs. N. Sanderson, Spokane, Wash.; Mrs. L. Maxwell, Blrdira, Wash.'; Mrs. B. Tickell, whose husband has been agent at Quesnel, Wash., for 6 years. The best known of her local relatives, is Mrs. Guy Murphy, Copper Mt., a sister. Two sisters reside in Idaho, one at Nee Perce, the other at Twin Falls. One brother is at Twin Falls, a brother cad sister r.ra in California, a sister in Walla Walla, Wash., and a brother in tho Cariboo. A nephew lives at Blakeburn, and another ln the Cariboo. • '3. :' Funeral The funeral of the late Mrs. Sara Dorsey was held yesterday afternoon from St. Paul's Church, Rev. J. C. Goodfellow officiating. It v/as a beautiful service, attended by friends of the family frflm far and near. Pallbearers were W. B. Ewart, E. E. Burr, H. C. McGuffie, Jno. Matheson, C. Summers and R. Grant, Blakeburn. JOHN McCONNEL FALLS VICTIM TO DREAD MALADY Suddenly Seized, Passed Away Sweet. ly Saturday Afternoon; N|j££s Funeral Monday Bright and well Wednesday morning; hardly having had a day's sickness in his life; stricken Wednesday evening; seriously ill Friday; dead at 1:30 Saturday afternoon. That is the sad and tragic tale of the death of eleven- year-old John McConnell, younger son of Mr. Hugh McConnell of this town. He was- the first victim of the dread "mystery disease," infantile paralysis, in Princeton. Jackie was one of the brightest and best liked of all local boys. He was a real boy, full of life, yet a perfect gentleman, and Princeton could ill afford to lose him. He had lived practically all his life in Princeton, and had received all his education here. Born in Saskatoon, he moved here with his parents eight years ago at the age of two years and eighi months. He was a nuD'1 of grade six. Besides hie sorrowing father and step-mother, Jackie is survived by an older brother, Hugh, and a younger. sister, Eleanor. The funeral was held quietly Monday afternoon, Rev. J. C. Goodfellow of St. Paul's officiating. It was a terrible blow for his parents. He was at first thought to be suffering from the usual boys' cold, and it was not until Friday that the seriousness of his condition was realized: Everything possible was done for him, but the dread disease had its way, and h's loved ones could only sit and hops as life's candle flickered out. He died at home, The death of th's splendid boy was received with poignant regret locally, lacky will be missed by the community at large, and his school ma'es in particular. That the community is deeply sensitive of its loss is typ:fisd In the many expressions of sympathy- which have been sent to Mr. and Mrs; McConnell. TO OBSERVE ARMISTICE DAY Extensive plans for the annual observance of Armistice Day have been made by the local branch Canadian Legion B.E.S.L. The usual parade to and service at the cenotaph, with both local ministers co-operating, is assured, and the annual ex-service men's smoker will be held in the Princess Theatre Monday evening. Committees have been formed and arrangements are wel lln hand. Full details of the program will be announced next week. Members of the legion are request ed to meet for the parade In front of the Bank of Montreal at 10:30 a.m. Among the relatives coming here] it has also been arranged to have for the last rites were Mrs. N. Sander son, a daughter, Spokane, and her daughter; Mr. Archie Maxwell, Omak, son-in-law; Mrs. Maxwell, Elmira, Wn., Mr. Maxwell's mother; M. Judson, a nephew, and wife, Blakeburn; Mrs. Guy Murphy, Copper Mt., sister, and Mr. Murphy, MATRONS TANGLB Sparks flew, and hot words, and maybe v few pots and pans when two local matrons had a difference over some furniture, and neither showed much desire to arbitrate. The sequel was a session of the local county c.ourj..vM.Qnday, but an assault charge wag dismissed. the school children parade, assemble at the school. They win GIRL ACCIDENT VICTIM A hallowe'en . mask nearly brought serious Injury to Ellen Vaydo, young local girl, last night, when, the mask Impairing her vision, she darted across the street Iri.to. the moving car driven by a local youth. There were several ersons nearby, and the unfortunate girl was picked up at once. The car pulled up within a few feet,, and the girl was driven to the hospital, where it was found that she had suffered shock and t few miner bruises. ___= THE PRINCETON JSTAR, PRINCETON, B/C. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1928 £be [Princeton Star PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT PRINCETON, B.C. J. A. BROWN, Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES British Empire, One Year * 2.00 Foreign, One Year ...; J 2.60 Payable in Advance. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1928 VILLAGE INCORPORATION The question as to whether or no Princeton should be incorporated as a village municipality is in reality j merely a belated survival of the old question of self government. Should a British ^community govern itself, raise its own money to be spent by | representatives elected directly by the taxpayers, or should it be gov- j erned by outsiders over whom it has no direct control, and have no say as to the manner in which its money should be spent. This question was answered in favor of self government by the British ieople several hundred years ago, • and therefore tha. Princeton Star proposes in this article to enquire into the reasons why Princeton continues to be about the only community in the British Emp're to prefer to be governed by strangers. ■ Enquiring among the opponents of incorporation here, we find that the most common argument raised is the question of expense. Look at Greenwood, Merritt or Penticton, they say, and see how incorporation has run those communities into debt with the result that taxes are h*gh and business stagnates. The Princeton Star- must not be taken as saying that business is stagnant or, taxes high in any of the commun-1 ities mentioned; but assuming it to; be true, it does not affect, the ques-j tion- of village incorporation In! Princeton. All those communities; have a Ihigher form incorporation, | under' which "t is poss'ble for the' city fathers with the consent of thej rate- payers to borrow money by is-1 suinsr municipal bonds. Such bonds | b»ar ii'p-est- nnd extend over a Ion? period of years. If *he community does not grow a s nntioioa'ed or suffers i»n unerpocted set back, then tha cit'zens who remain may have a heavy burden to bear. Put under- v-Tste in"0-poratton the commis<'-nner,3 have no' the power, _evo»i vrt'h 'ho coti^pnt nf the rate pp.vf.fs. +o contract pny debt not nqy- nblo w'thln the current year. Thus uni'e- villas.e' incorporation the issuing o* b"nds is a l°eal 'moossibil- I'v. and 't 's impossible to run the nr'^i-ipsii'v info debt The «w the most extraVacant commissioners could do, would be to raise the ta^es to two per cent for one year. The following year the taxpayers would only have to elect, different comra's- sionerg to have the laves put back where they belong. Thus horrible examples in other c't'es have no bearing on the matter. There are several village municipalities in British Columbia and not one of them ls in debt. On the contrary each and every one has a balance in the bank, and none of them would go back to their former defenseless condition. The Village Incorporation Act says tha1, the commissioners shall -have power to sue and be sued, to contract and be contracted with; and .some objectors think '.thlat that is where the nigger ln the wood pile is to be found. Alas a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! Unlike an individual, a municipality has no power whatever •excent* that given it by the ac* of th' 1e<r'slature. The-efors w'thout 'i-"» iflftuAo the c^T"ml»FJr>ne"S Could' w' htrp a dpy .pJxvrer.- for a day's yrnrlr .-All fhtitrpjcts'l STO. Bit nSCGS- sarlv In writing and 'hat is a contract of emnloyn. --nt. If -fne coiumis- sloners employee a day laborer and ■did not pay him, would the objectors to incorporation object t0 h's be'ng able to sue for his wagos? If they do not, they do not object to the clause, as without It he could not sue. All this dreadful bogey of a clause means is, that the comm'ssioners have power to do the business which the tax payers elect them to perform —but they have flot to do It without running the municipality Into debt. If they should eontrac a debt -run- Mv.", "into *ha Wowing year, the creditor could not collect it. Some people say that those wanting 1: .corporation should say how they want the taxes expended. A little thought shows this to be absurd. The Princeton S*ar wants looal self government, but the program of the commissioners is for the would be commissioners themselves to say when they present themselves for election; and those who now object to incorporation will have just .the same opportunity for voting against a man whose program they d'sl'ke, or of putting. up candidates whose program they prefer, as any one else. But the Prince(on Star will say this—It would be better for Pr!nee*on if the revenue that would be available under incorporation were to be thrown out of the window to be scrambled for on Bridge s1,-eet, than to have it sent down to Victoria as it 'st nr>w and spent 'n othe- twri« of the Province. The Hiritv scromb1ers would at. any rate spend the money in Pr'nceton. '-3i_s_ In all modem communities, the governing bodies consider i<- In the public Intpi-est to keen a sharp look out on p'ib'ic serVTe corporations. The-e ls no one to keep such- a look out in Princeton, and it may be only a coincidence that we have close to the highest wafer ___td;>1electrl(is''%tes in British Columbia; but in this world what Is everybody's business is nobody's business. The Princeton Power &. Light Company has no charter, but operates here under a license from the department of lands. With incorporation Princeton would automatically, by law, have possession of its own streets, that license would lapse and the company v/tu'd have to come to" the commissioners for leave to use. the streets without: .wh'ch .'t could no' do business. The Princeton Star does- hot 'say that it is excessive to charge a re'ail rate for elee'ric lighting which is five times as great as the wholesale rate, but many people tlv'nk so, and it, would be the duly of the commissioners to enquire in'o that question before the necessary permission whs gran'.ed. • Again la.t year Pr'nceton Water Works Company secured an increase in rates' without any person appearing to object theretb, although many cit'zens thought the rates were already exceed-'nsly high. The Princeton Star is expressing no opinion as to the reasonableness or otherwise of our water rates, but wishes to point out that had we been incorporated our commissioners would have had a duty to enquire 'nto the matter, and the right to make such representations to the rate fix'ng body as the occasion might require. Incidentally the water rates are due for revision again next year. Who is going to look into the matter and speak for the water users of Princeton? Some people seem to think that with the -change 'of government Princeton would receive, better treatment in the matter of sidewalks, etc., than it has received during the past few years, during which the only new sidewalk was one laid before the door of a prominent citizen shorlly before election He needed that sidewalk, and it was coming to him. But a great many others, many of whom are not prominent, whether politically or otherwise, need them just as much. The last mentioned will get them under incorporation but not in any other way. The Village Incorporation Act was passed with the approval of both political parties to enable small communities to spend their own money in their own way, and to relieve the government in Vic oria from the re- sponsib.ll y of duties which it has neither the organization nor the local knowledge to perform propely. Like the Liberal government, the Conservative government will say, and will rightly say, "We have given you the opportunity :o spend your own .money In your own way; and if you cant or won't do it, don't bother us, and don't blame us either." If a community wishes to forge ahead and amount to some bing it must function. It cannot function till it is organized. The dis rict tributary to Prince'on is rapidly developing. If we wish to reap our share of the fruits of that development, we must put ourselves in position to do so. The first step is ineorpora ion. It is time that Princeton shed its swaddling clothes.

I New Purchasing Agent After somewhat keen competition, j if we are to believe the L'beral pap* j ers. Vancouver won out in the appointment of a new purchasing agent, the award going to Vic'or A.

Nels Lougheed, Premier Tolmie et al of his cabinet were feted at Mission Tuesday evening. The cabinet is at least mov'nj around the country and rubbing shoulders with the needs of the various sections. * * * * Serious Business Dr. Tolmie gathered his political Ch'cks to h'm Wednesday morning tor the most important cabins* sesg son ever held It. was to consider the appeal of the ci y of Orand Forks ior government in' ervehtion in the Granby-West Koo*enay-Gr_nd Forks ra'e d'spute. Representatives of all three parties were present. * * * + Liberal Elected By a majority of a scant 53 votes, Dr. T. Waugh was elee'ed member for the Arm River constituency in the Saskatchewan legisla'ure over Stewar' Adrian, Conservative. To by-elect'on was made necessary by the resignation of Geo. A. Scott. The s'anoing of parties is now I/beralS 52, Conservatives 4, Progressives 6, Independent 1. * * * * Party Leaderless .Whether or not Dr. McLean is suc- cessful in Victoria, the hornets' nest of the provincirl election, and carr.es I the seat of his successor in the provincial premiership, is all very well ] in its own way, but the definite retirement from provincial politics has placed the Liberals in the identical I position which gave them so much excuse to criticise their political rivals some time ago. In short, the party is leaderless, and apparently disorganized. , . ;Steps are already under way, it is said, for the selection of a successor to Dr. McLean. The choice > -will- likely lie between Hon. T. D. Pattullo, Prince Rupert, and Hon. Ian McKenzie, North Vancouver. Mr. Pattullo, the only survivor of the original Brewster cabinet, and a right hand man for many years, will have the support of (he older section of the party, but Hon. Ian McKenzie, one of the mosit brilliant members of the last, legislature, will no doubt find plenty of support from the other section. The choice will lik,ely be made at a convention next year, and the: man I selected will be the permanent party leader. * • * * On Immigration • Canadian immigration plans as they affect both federal and provincial - governments were discussed at a two-hour conference between Premier Tolmie and Hon. Robt. Forke^.fedsral minister of imm'graMon, during th| latter's visit to the coast last week. * * * * Women's First Vote The Newfoundland election showed the wise ones a thing or two. Sir Richard Squires, opposi'ion leader, did not raise a "manifesto" but Instead got out a gramophone record lining up his views regarding new in- dutries and th<> like. Premier F. C. Allardyce and bis United Newfoundland party in a strong battle, and bearded Sir Richard in his own den on the Humher. It was the first election in which women voted in, Newfoundland. * * + * N. S. F. Hon. Joshua Hinchcliffe has a department, but no cash on hand. At least, that's his complaint. Appro-, prlations for the department under the last administration were not only allocated but in addition there were further committments beyond amounts appropriated, and, these will have to be provided for, he says. In the department of education appropriations of $200,000, purposing to carry $ol -th^ department lalong to next March have all been spent. * • * • Reorganize Game Department Th's wlll interest the hungers, regardless of their political creed. Careful reorganization of the game department to put the responsibility Officers elee'ed at the annual meet-J ing of the Okanogan-Cariboo Trail As?ocia*ion held last week at Kelowna were: Pres., R.

These w'll be thoroughly explored, and should results warrant, a plant large enough to handle tbe work will be provided. One outstanding operat'on to be undertaken wlll be the extension of the Greenwood-Phoenix tunnel, which, if driven far enough would pene- frate Phoenix bodies at a depth of 2600 feet. Eitrh'een years ago this very th'ng was planned, but after the tunnel had been driven some 8000 feet capital ran out., D'amond drilling will be conducted along the line of tho proposed tunnel, and If successful the Radiore Company of Ontario wii'l be brought ln to try to locate the ore bodies.

Is the Consolidated trying to get control of the Granby Company as a solution to the differences betweer the two companies? Vancouver brokers are all agog over the theory, according to a coast report. Last week smelter shares Jumped (20, Coast- Copper1, a subsidiary, $4, and Incidentally, Granby advanced $3. Consolldated's coast interests make it an eventual certainty that a tidewater smelter will eb estr.bl'shed In their Interests, and it is surniiseo that bv tsk'r'c oVa- (Sfc .'-- ter they could solve their difficulty in an unusually satisfactory manner. At the same time, they would restore the equilibrium disrupted by the West Kootenay-Granby rates split. With the termination of the agreement to provide AMeuby and C"r>.>er Mountain with power, the agreement that all Allenby concentrates so tc Trail was also terminated. Trail is left with a copper smelting plant idle on Its hands. Developments and proposed developments to the Consolid-i'ed's coast properties point to the time when a coast smelter wlll be a necessity. There has been no news from Coast Copper In the past few weeks to explain the sudden Jump in stock. Should the Consolidated by purchase of stock acquire the controlling interest in the Granby Company, as it hag done in so many other cases, a solution to both dffficult'es would be forthoominfc. Already a considerable amount of Granby stock Is held <n Canada. The captial Issued on May 1927 was $43,448,365, in $100 shares. Granby stock ls now worth about $75.00.

POPULARITY "Langside" peonies, grown on the sunny slopes of the lower valley at Cawston, find their way into the pra.rie provinces, the Pacific coast, and as far east as Toronto, according to Mr. W. D. Lang, proprietor of the gardens, formerly of Cawston, but now ot Vicboria. Large numbers of peony roots have been spuplied to the famous Butchart gardens at Victoria; the botanical gardens of the University of British uotumb.a at fo.n. U.ey have been supplied, and at tne Soinmeriand t<i*.- peiimental Farm a con__ueraiue a amber have also been planted. Peony cunure ou a commercial scale is undertaken by Mr, Juaug on his Caws-on 'property, where an acreage of four acres is _Pow devoted to peony-growing. The work is handled . systematically, so tha. new varieties are constancy being inuo- uucea; buibs aie lna.ur.ug, wnile iu._iers are coining on, anu others are being p.an^ed. I. requires three years for the peony root to branch out. They are then dug up, and split up. A three- year-old root win provide from three to four new peony roots. Roots are sold in the fall, but during the summer the gardens present a magnificent appearance, and the cut flowers are also sold extensively. Chiefly to accommodate his growing family, Mr. Lang has moved to Victoria, leaving his Cawston gardens under charge, and returning periodically to supervise the work in person. His offices are in Victoria, and he has several hundred peonies planted out there, but finds they thrive better in this part of the province than at the coast. Profitable Hobby Mr. Lang explains that peony-culture is a hobby he has put to commercial use, and to profit. In several years of this pleasant vocation he has built up a splendid business, and findg read} market for Langside root* which are now) nationally known. It will be remembered that Mr. Lang carried off the special prize offered by a large American house for the best bloom grown from one of its roots. Mr. Lang's peony bore 250 blossoms, and brought forth the comment from the donors of the prize it was the finest specimen they bad ever segn. _ (Continued trom page one.) most pleas'ng exhibition of the night. The younger fellows are getting down to real basketball and are making surprising progress. Last week's game drew many favorable comments. Af*er leading most of the way, Coles' artists weakened. and succumbed by a sing>'e point, 14-13, when they had a fine chance to get into the race in earnest. Close Game There was never-more than a point or two between the Hotel and the Garage, and the score might as easily have read the other way. Garage Introduced McAlp-'ne, but the big fellow was not on his usual form, and Wilson, always near the basket, was 'heir star point getter. Garage as usual took a ll'tle time to settle, and Hotel spurted enough to secure an early lead, hardly merited on the play. Garage was soon in the fight, however, and all but evened up. First one te<*m would run ' hro'ugl. for two of three baskets, then Hip o'b.r would t?ke bark the advan'aere. At the interval the score was 25-22. Oa'aVe made a spur' on the restart, and snatched away the lead, but failed to bold It. For a time the teams were neck and neck, Play speeded up, and tempers were badly ruffled. Good basketball was forgotten. The Garage brought it up to 27-25 w'thin five minutes of time, but allowed the Hotel to slip through and make matters safe, 31-27. A final spurt yielded the greasers 4 points, but they finished Just two short. After outclassing the league leaders and giving them the biggest scare in their lives, Coles men frittered away a six-point lead, and In a battle against time and the Department! Store, lost out by a single point. Coles got the first basket, but lost the lead at once, only to come back strong and be on a level at the interval. Sparkling ball was served up after the restart, wi'h Coles s'mply outguess ng the storemen. Through sheer clever work they ran up a six polo' lend, 11-5. and he'd It at 13-7. but Denartmentals gradually drew up. and wi'h less than a minute to go made it 13 all, and BUI Dodd slipped !n the winning point on a free throw. Tulameens Outlucked Because the gods and the scorer favored ihe tire repair men, Andy Johnson's namesakes of the Tulai- tj'.een are down in Ihe averages after prom sing to clean up I heir division. By a dispu ed basket they lost to Burr Motors 8-6. It was a good game, with plenty of action, and some basketball. Three In a Row If the Incorporation issue has any thing to do with Perley Russell's representatives on the basketball floor, the Star is all wrong. The Cookies made it three-nil when they socked Al White's beauties another on the chin, 13-9 ln a game that provided plenty of fun.

MANY MILES CUT OFF BY NEW ROAD LINK Breakfast in Prince'on, supper in Vancouver, is not quite as true as it will be when the Hope- Princeton road is built, but with the comple'ion of the Spence's Bridge-Lytton link of the Cariboo li'ghway it is possible, if one Is an irr.eguia"\ diner. O. S. ...abee' of Kelowna, well known here, left early Monday morning by car for the coast metropolis, and had his hopes built on 'being-in -Vancouver the same night. The new road has eliminated some 100 miles of nas'y travel. Tphe distance by road from Princeton to Vancouver is now 303 miles. It is 78 m'les from -. jPrinc|3ton to Soence's Bridge, 107 mi'es from Hope to Vancouver. The building of the Hope- Prince'on road, owever, would trim off another hundred miles. The new road is said by local motorists who have come over it to be very fair, though the surface w'll stand improvement. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE INTERESTING BURL FOUND BY LOCAL WOMAN A peculiarly shaped burl which ls for all the world like a hub- bard squash, is on display at Perley Russell's, and forms an interesting addition to his collection of curios. This charred piece of wood is one of nature's freaks, and is twisted and knotted in a most Peculiar fashion. Were it yellow and green one would be tempted to b'*e it. It was found in the r'vor bv Mrs Sam Snencer. Mrs. Spencer took from one of the cracks a glistening stone- which she believes to be a diamond. I' la said that diamonds hovo bt-eu known to exist along the river.
