D. M. Perley officiating. Both young people have a very large circle of friends in this valley, all of whom will join The Star in w.'sh'ng the newlyweds a full measure of connubial bliss. Miss Bulmer has. been an efficient member of the nursing staff of the Princeton General Hospi'aJ for three years, and the hospital board, at its regular monthly meet'ng on Tuesday evening 'n accept ng her resignation, paid fitting tribute to the service she has rendered. The groom has besn filling an important pos't'on on the staff of the Granby Company at Copper Mountain ever since operations were started in that camp. Announcements received by friends here state 'hat Mr. and Mrs. Mahon Kvill be "at home" at Copper Mountain after October 1st. Washington Slayer Taken Northcott has been captured at Okanagan Landing, according to work received here today. It is said the arrest took place last night. -A commercial traveller bore the news. While verification cannot be obtained at this time, another visiter to Princeton Is said to have stated that he saw Northcott in a barber's chair at Penticton this week while he himself waited his turn. He recognized ths man by' the picture which appeared in coast papers.

INJUNCTION RENEWED BY HIGHER COURT THIS WEEK Mr. Just'ce Morrison Declines to Extend Term But Mr. Justice Martin Grants New Injunction The status quo Is still maintained in the Granby-Consolidated concentrates dispute. While the Injunct'on originally granted by - Mr. Justice Morrison has been discontinued, Mr. Justice Martin of the B.C. Court of Appeal has Issued a fur'her Injunction restraining the West Kootenay Power and Light Company from inter- r-pting, interfering with, discontinuing or diminishing the supply cf power and electrical enc.f.fv required 1>y the Granby Consiil- c'ated Company until the hearing of the appeal from the order of Mr. Justice Murphy. In the~ meantime, B. C. Mayers, K.C, acting for the Granby Co., is proceeding with his appeal of Mr. Justice Murphy's ruling. This will be heard at the sitting of the court of appeal in Vancouver next month, wh'oh means that for a month at least the service at Allenby will "not be interrupted. Leave was reserved j to the West Kootenay Company to rserve two days' notice to dissolve Mr. Justice Martin's injunction. Mr. Justice Martin originally grant- I ed an Injunct'on pending the outcome I of the Granby-Consolidated trial to September 10. The Granby company I pleads satutory rights. The refusal of Mr. Justice' Morri- i son to eonfnue the injunction came | Monday morning. The announcement I was followed by- one the next day reporting the new Injunction. The news of the cancellation of the Injunction caused a little anxiety locally and In Spite of assurances that local power will hardly be cut off In any event, there are many who seem to doubt it, as evidenced by the feeling Tuesday. Meant'me, the situation is practically unchanged. It is now a matter for courts and legislatures. Allenby is siVpping- the bulk of its concentrates to Tacoma, in spite of the Con- soltdated's threat. The Union of B.C. Municipalities convention at Trail recommended the establishment of a provinc'al public utilities board, and the legislature was interested.

Standing Blakeburn 4 3 0 1 17-8 7 Princeton 3 111 8-6 3 Copper Mt. 3 0 3 0 1-17 0 Blakeburn, undefeated throughtout. the season, are again league cham- p'ons. They made certain of still another honor when they completely outclassed their" near rivals, Princeton, 'n the crucial game of the Similkameen Football League, second half, Sunday. Ther 5-1 "victory, while hardly representing the actual difference betw-aen the two teams, left on doubt as to which was the better. It was a eorry-day Sob the home team. Given the'r great .chance, they found Blakeburn in tip-top form, while, in spite of the fact that they presented their strongest line-up, Princeton had an off-day. It was Just one th'ng after another. The home boys worked heroically, but simply could not hit their stride, nothwith- standing their courageous second half rally. It was the first few minutes that spelt defeat for the home crew. A bad break unsettled the side, and Blakeburn took full advantage. TMrs came almost at the start, when a ter- rif'c pace was set. After Trudglan had missed a clean- chance by laches, Blakeburn were awarded a foul near the goalmcuth. Both Dodd and a back made for the ball, and in consequence Lew:s headed into a vacant goalmouth. Faulty checking was responsible for the next tally, Craig slipping over a perfect pass to McGregor, who netted eas'ly. Lev/is got the next on a back's error. The fourth came Just on half t'me, and was hotly disputed. Jackson laid a corner kick over directly on the'line, and Craig put through,, the home players expecting the whistle to go for a bye kick, believing the ball to have circled over the i'ne and back, JDown and out, Princeton made a game but homeless comeback after the Interval, and ran the great Blakeburn team ragged, but could not get through. Luxon obtained the only poin* from close in, Douglas getting a fifth for Blakeburn. Prinoeton had far more of the game than the score indicates. They were clearly entitled to at least three goals, Bryden having some marvellou luck. Blakeburn's ability to shoot won them their decisive victory. The Play Princeton ran on to a most- unlucky s'art. Within a minute of the .kick- off Blakeburn were pressing and Dodd was called to. save. Play flashed to the other end and Trudglan had the mortification of be'ng just too late for Ryder's cross on an open goal. Blafteburn aga'n -pressed and were always dangsrous, especially on the right. The break came when ftus Foster was penalized for a foul. Slogar drove at goal. Dodd and a back made (Continued on page six.) A PUTTERS WIN POR GOLFERS IN ONE CLUB COMPETITION Ernie Gray and Miss Ituth Coles, both, by an odd coincidence, drawing putters, were the winners in the one |:c.%ib icomjpejllticm o_j the Princeton Golf Club Sunday. The event was well patronized and afforded no end of amusement. This week the local golfers have been invited to spend the day with the Hedley golfers, and a mixed delegation will accept the hospitality of their neighbors to the south. Honor Two Members The two lucky members of Princeton Golf Club were honored in a toast at the club house following a f'ne day's play Sunday last. Miss A. Knowlton, and Mrs. W. B. Ewart, who joined the mythical hole in one club this season, were singled out by W. A. Wagenhauser when he 1313th toast of his career. "Vancouver has its Percy Williams, but we have our Miss Knowl- tou," he said, commenting on the fine feat wh'-ah gave her the honor of being the first to sink her tee shot on the »new Units. The local course is certain to attract scores of visitors, so that her honor is no small one. Mr. Ewart made his mark at Merritt. Jack Dunn of Penticton, representing Frigida'res, was in ttrwn over the week-end, Satisfactory Terms Made By Cannery Operators and Workers at Keremeos MILD UP8ET CAUSED THI8 WEEK OVER DISSATISFACTION WITH WAGE SCALE; OFFICIAL8 COME TO SCENE AND SMOOTH OVER MATTER8 Dissatisfaction,, which has existed for some time between the tomato growers at Keremeos and the mangement of the Dominion cannery at that place, reached a somewhat lively climax on Tuesday last on the arrival on the scene of Mr. Leach of Kelowna, assistant manger for the company of their wsetern canneries. Mr. Leach's presence had been requested in an effort to smooth out difficulties occasioned by a large number of employees, quitting work through dissatisfaction with the wages, paid, and, ■while he was there, representatives of the growers took the occasion to present in a very forcible manner certain griovances which they had. ' These related to the heavy 'Culling which was being done, amounting in some cases to nearly one-third of the tomatoes delivered, and to the cannery's failure to deliver to the gorw- ers the number of boxes required to enable them to pick and deliver the tomatoes as fast as they were ready,1 This meant heavy loss to the growers? Wednesday morning a veritable deadlock existed, and, for a time, it looked as. though further operation of the cannery might be suspended. Seven loads of tomatoes brought in By growers were turned back, and there appeared to be little chance of the growers and Mr. Leach reaching any basis for settlement of their differences. With the arrival, however, onJthe scene of Mr. H. Hollis of Vancouver, general manager of the western canneries, who had been wired for by Mr. Leach, negotiations were re-opened, and eventually a mutually satisfactory basis for the continuance ot operations was arrived at. Other peelers were brought in from Kelowna to take the place of those who had quit and the local vtonien and girls are lending all the-Assistance possible in an effort to keep the cannery operating at capacity and thus save ihe season's crop. The Good Roads League, while in favor of the completion of Ihe Hopo-Princeton road, and while favorably impresesed by the arguments of Princeton board of trade) believe that the matter had be'ter be left over for another year. Princeton Is by no means discouraged, but the local feel- ' ing Is as strong as ever for the Immediate assumption of this Important government duty. Various arguments in favor of the construcfon of this road as a vital link in the trans-prov'nclal and transcontinental highway were set forth- to delegates to the convention, these be'ng presented through courtesy of Mr. Noble Blnns, Trail, magistrate. The convention listened attentively to the plea.- and expressions of op'nion were favorable, but the decision was that in the opin'on off the convention, the matter should be set | as-'de for another year. The delegates thought that It was the pr'tne duty of the new government to take over the task of con- vering the Fraser Canvon highway I W/i the most serviceable road pos- i sible. - Interested in Coast The Good Roads League, It Is ponlted out, . leans essentially towards the coast in Its inclinations, though it Is quite In sympathy with the agitation for the Hope road. Mr. Blnnr guqgeets that the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia would be the better organization with which to unite. This board has in the past been Very favorable to the project. For further materail on the Hope- Princeton- road see page" 3. MR. W. LIND8AY FIND8 OLD LAND CONSIDERABLY CHANGED Sco'land still stands where it did, but there's a little change in "Auld Glasgae" since 22 years ago, Mr. W. Lindsay of Copper Mountain found. Mr. Lindsay, looking hale and hearty, returned Saturday from his trip which occupied the better part of the summer. The older or central sect'on of the Scottish commerical cap'tal ls not much altered, but the environs have so filled up as to be hardly recognizable. There is also a big difference in the mode of conveyance of Glasgow's citteens. In place of the tram or old coach, there are now. lines of stalwart 'buses which set out dally on regular runs for all par's of the kingdom. The street car service is also vastly, improved. You. can now ride twenty-one miles for "tuppence." Some of the commodities, however, seem very high, and effects of industrial strife are noUcable, especially in the coal mining area around Glasgow. Mr. Lindsay took over duties at Copper Mountain Departmental Store again Saturday night and Mr. Walter Paulding who has been managing in h's absence left" for a trip to New Westminster whereby Jiangs a tale unfolded in another column.

Mrs. Arnold Jr. accompanied her to Princeton, after spending a vacation in Saskatchewan, ADDITIONAL MONEY -VOTED PRINCETON SCHOOL BOARD Ratepayers; Accept Responsibility for Increase In Estimates and Give Board Another $2500 Princeton board of school trustees were by a unanimous .vote of nine to nil granted an increase ln the est'm- ates of $2500 to carry on the work in Princeton schools for the year. The increase was voted at a special meeting of the ratepayers at which the reasons for the call were given. An excess of $1000 over what was estimated In the contract for the completion of the new school building, and various unforeseen Incidental expenses were responsible for the request for additional funds, Discussion v/as short, there be'ng no opposition to the additional levy when its need was demonstrated. The board would ordinarily receive $8250 from .December lot to the end of the present school year, which with the present balance of $162 would give $8412 to cover expenses. Cash on hand September 1 was $3652.00.- This is augmented by a department check for $510 which is quarterly payment less $2240 due on the building loan, and bringing the total revenue to $4162. Expenses for 'he month of September are roughly $4000. Detailed ordinary expenses from Oct. 1st follows: fuel, $800; rent, East Princeton, $62.50; janitor's supplies, $70.00; stamps, etc., $12.00; repairs, $100.00; water $75.60; light, $45.00; insurance, $230.00; Interest due on loan, March 1, $180.00; loan payment and interest due Sept. 1 $2180.00; salaries $6,600. Total $10,- 350. The secretary, requested at the last meeting to take up the matter of changing to some other night rath er than Saturday for the date of the annual meeting, read a reply from the superintendent of education ad vising that the matter was "under consideration." A plan to divide the school's coal business between the two operating mines here was outlined, each supplying one school, thus giving useful data on relative costs. E. Waterman was named chairman of the meeting, Mrs. M. L. Wright secretary. FORCED TO TURN BACK THIRTY MILES OUT OF HOPE WHEN MACHINE GIVES TROUBLE; MAY TRY NOVEL FEAT AGAIN- THIS WEEK Running into trouble with their machines thirty miles out of Hope, the worst of the road left behind them, Fred Deeley and Don Maxwell, Vancouver youths, abandoned for this week their effort to make the first known crossing of the historic Hope- Prinoeton trail, on motoroycles. So far as can be learned they have returned to Vanoouver, and are not expected to make an- other sally until the week-end. - Thirty miles out of Hope would make the scene of the breakdown Cedar Flats, where the going is fairly easy. They had come over five miles of the worst road in the entire distance . over Kayuse Flat and the Skagit Bluffs. The exact nature of the trouble is not known. It is presumed, however, that something went wrong with one of the machines. The first Princeton learned about this interesting' adventure was Saturday afternoon when P. W. Gregory, secretary of the local board of trade, received a wire from F. Deeley, well known Vancouver cycle dealer, saying that the boys, one of whom ls his son, had set out. He asked that assistance be given them in the matter of re-stocking with gas and provisions en route. Mr. Gregory wired in return that arrangements would be made, and gave some useful directions. If the boys were not in by 5 p.m. Monday, a guide would be sent out. * Planned Welcome AfSfhe same time, a local welcome waB planned. -Bulletins' were posted announcing the boys' "eat and car owners asked to go out to Nine Mile Monday afternoon to escort the boys to town. Walt Gill, of the local detachment provincial police,' took his motorcycle out to meet them, and went as flar as tlhe, Pacific Slope camip, where he learned they had turned back. It is probable that the boys will make another attempt this week, and they will have the" benefit of their first experience, If this is the oase, flash news wjll be bulletined by the Star throughout the town. Hope-Princeton trail was in the early days the principal route between coast and southern interior, and was frequently used by pedestrians and horsemen. Bicycles have been ridden over it, but so far as is known, no one has crossed on a motorcycle, though Walt GUI had a hunch o try this when hejast came up from the. coast. The feat would be the means of directing considerable pub- liclty to Princeton's agitation for the completion of the Hope-Princeton road. From Hope, twenty-five miles east there is good road; from this point, nineteen miles on the Pacific Slope Mines, the road is poor, two miles being taken up by a steep switchback. Part of the traii here is overgrown, and there have been small slides. From the mines to Nine Mile there is passable road, cars having made the. trip recently. From Nine Mile to Princeton there is excellent road, used by the Lynden people for hauling coal, PAULDING—MURDOCK TWO LOCAL FIRES Two fires, the most serious locally to date this season, were observed this Week. The first, a grass fire, swept the hill lying east of Princeton, behind the Williams' property. The origin is unknown, The flames spread rapidly, and In a few hours swept most of the hillside. Damage was nil. A more serious fire broke out Monday in the neighborhood of Nine Mile, and crews were hastily gathered locally. The timber here' Is fairly thick. A good night's work, aided by lower humidity and the first rain in weeks, served to put the fire'quickly under cobti'ol, A wedding of considerable local Interest was solemnised in New Westminster Monday when Mabel, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs, J. K. Murdock of that city became the bride of Walter Paulding, fifth son of the late Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Paulding of Seattle. Mr. Paulding is well known locally as clerk in the Copper Mountain store for the past two years. Miss Murdock visited Princeton last year. After a honeymoon to coast points they will take up residence at Copper Mt., and will enter their new life with the best wishes of their many friends. 'FULL, H0U8E* SIGN HUNG UP AT HOSPITAL LAST WEEK Princeton's hospital is always busy, but it is seldom that there is such number and variety of cases as there were last weekend. What with the arrival of new citizens, broken limbs, internal troubles and surgical cases, the local curative institution all but put up a sign "full house,'" more beds be'ng occupied than for some time.' Busy or not, however, the local nursing staff has always time to ma'ntain the high standard of courtesy and service for which the hospital has become well known.

The inroads of fuel oil are menacing the coal industry. Even ln the naval serv'ce Britain ls using fuel o'l, 70 per cent of which comes from the United St'aes. Br'tish Columbia annually imports 50.000,000 gallons of crude oil, and 50.000 ons of coal. Germany, on the other hand, is turning to water power.

Princeton is straining every ounce of energy at -this, as It believes, the psychological time. The Similkameen Is on the crest of a new wavei of activity. Visitors coming into town say that this Is the most talked of town in provincial mining circles. And they are as sincere as is Princeton in its rightful desire to expand. So often the bauble of political platforms; so often the promise of distinguished works' officials; so long the fervent hope of the loyaj pioneers of the valley, Pr'nceton believes that at last the time has come when Victoria will see the light— the spotlight of public opinion turned on the road wi'h nev'table favor. This is not a political football; not an empty1, election promise; it is a real, practical, crying need and nothing but an '11 sense of bus'ness can fu-ther delay it. .pur government, righ'ly prides itself on 'ts business sense. It will, f W, will ha-ken. be attracted to on *' Bffl bes* n-iv'n-" inves'ments ft could undert-ta* p-r. vincial business s too serious to b sma*fered with favors; .it should be governed by logic and by insight. Every , logical circumstance; every tenet of good business: po'nts to the undertaking of this task. Here Is -a' magnificent stretch of mountain scenery.- bi attraction to touri-ts un^nu^flfd In any part of the cro'.'ince; and here, amidst all th's beauty. 1° a country rich In resources of proven worth; stalwart p'nes on the hills; grassy steppes Ideal for cattle breeding; mineral fields of worth long proven but never rp allzed because an outlet has be' denied. Even in face of adverse pol-f'a! sentiment it Is "difficult to-' see J*j "' this road . could have been delaye i so long. A glance "at any road map will brin^ home the question with stinging force. To travel to Vancouver from Pr'nceton by the present route one must journey as follpws: 102 miles from Princeton to Spence's Bridge; thence 34 m-'les to Ashcroft; on to Chilliwack 224 miles; and then 86 miles on to Vancouver. From Vancouver to Hope is 102 miles; from Hope to Princeton over one of the three present trails is 65 m'les, and with a liberal allowance for grades and switchbacks to make a wonderfully easy r'dlng road, *he distance i«s 75 miles: a total of 177 miles coil pared with 446. Two cars start out from Princeton for Vancouver bv the pre" ent tedious route and the future southern highway. By the time one Is at Ashcroft the other is in Vancouver; and the Ashcroft car Is only then turning to move TOWARD8 Vancouver. What country does this long and ted'ous route serve? Dr. and Mrs. Roy R. Kerow of Oroville, Wash., are, quoted (Oroville Gazette) as saying, ot a recent i-rip as far as Ashcrof*? "For m'les on the road from Ashcroft *o Prince ten there was not <*r- n a sign of a human be'ng. -Ind:-~- Chinaman or white man . and -ever.- time, the speedometer. clicked off '•■ mile I.was thankful I was that much nearer home." And on the other side. Not one,] but several parties of tourls'o have come to, Princeton for the express [purpose of seeing the glories of the Hope summit. These included Mr. Van Dusan of Vancouver, a prominent business man; and. so well was he Impressed—in spite of the seven*'- odd in'Ifes each way on 'webi'flt--- th'at 1_e- wiould'not?rest'until his-'paEther, Mr.- Granger, had also, made- t^e trip.

This route, is except for: 15 or 20. miles, already built, and whetherjit"becomes the coast-interior -oad artist., he argues, will have to Be mi.'n'ained. . It is routed u,p the Tulameen Rver, follcw'ng the Dornburg road as far as Summit Camp. To this point there is a road, though it would have to be conditioned. From Summit Camp on ■ there would be a stretch of about 18 miles to link up wiltfi the road out ot Hope via Coquihalla Pass. This "work, its advocate says, would cost half a million dollars, compared! with the estimated cost of a million dollars for the Hope-Princston road. Own Home Develop Your Own Province — consult T.

CLARK AND NORTHCOTT WERE IN TOWN WEDNE8DAY MORNING DEATH OF JOHN LEE The death occurred at Penticton last week-end of John Lee, who formerly resided on 'a ranch about two miles out of (own, adjo'ning the Mate Irwin ranch, China Creek.

To inspect the work now being done chiefly in respect to grades and curvatures on the east s'de a party of G. N. officials has set out from Leavenworth, Wash. Eighteen miles of new work is ln progress, three short tunnels be'ng driven of which the longest la a mile in length, That the mysterious Mrs. Clark and the killer, Northcott, spent Tuesday night in Prlnoeton is the theory of local police, practically established beyond doubt by receipt of a wire from Kamloops this afternoon stating that Northcott when arrested confessed to leaving a car stranded here Wednesday morning. Strangely enough, though police had been notified to be on the alert, and though a number of peculiar circumstances were noted by local citizens, no attempt was made to link them up until after North- cott's arrest at Okanagan Landing this morning. Early yesterday morning a woman now thought to be Mrs. Clark came to Burr's, local gar- agemen, and asked help in starting her car which was stalled on the tracks near here. Harry Priest unsuccessfully attempted to start the machine, and Goldle Leach, mechanic, and Elmer Burr towed It Into the garage and effected repairs. It was not called for. Tuesday night a woman believed to be Mrs. Clark registered at the Similkameen Hotel under the name of Mrs. Gray. Yesterday a boy carried her grip to the {Station Just before the Q.N. train pulled out. Police believe that Northoott jumped the eastbound early morning train to Pentioton, where he was s.een yesterday. He then, they conjecture, took the boat to Okanagan Landing, Mrs. Clark, It Is assumed, took the G.N. train out. Efforts are being made to locate her. The oar was an old type Pord, without starter, bearing a licence plate No. 72-944, The Kamloops wire was from Sergeant /no. McDonald, In charge of provincial police affair* for Boundary district G.N.
