Princeton Engaged in Real Clean=up Today Trucks Loaned to Carry Away Debris; Sports to Be Held for Children on School Grounds at 4 p.m.; Substantial Prizes Offered Princeton is cleaning dp today. From the urchin to the oldtimer, citizens are thinking and acting "clean-up." Rakes, hoes, and the like are busy and rubbish fires dot the town. Trucks have been donated by transfer and business houses, and rubbish which will not burn is being hauled out of sight. Not content with this good work.Q the board of trade, promoters of the movement, are making a real emmun- lty bee of it, end are consolidating the civic spirit such an event promo es by holding children's sports at the school grounds at 4 p.m. sharp. A whip-round was made of Princeton merchants and citizens and $54.00 subscribed in less than an hour. This will go for prizes for the children. School children will thus have the message of sanitation driven home. The ethical s'de of the case was presented o pupils of all divisions Wed- neday when Principal Affleck spoke on the essentials of a clean town. While "the big effort is billed for today, a real clean-up is wanted, and will extend over a week. S. R.

SPECIAL Added attraction Monday and Tuesday BILLY LYNCH of Penticton Old- Country Comedian An organization meeting for the purpose of forms'ng a band In Princeton will be held in the office of the Princeton Star promptly at 8 o'clock Monday evening. All interested, whether they reside in Princeton or not, or whether they now possess in- struments or not, are asked to attend. A brass band is to be organized in Prince'on shortly. Agitafon started recently has gradually gained momentum and has now reached the po'nt where it will be an easy matter to effect definite organization. A meeting tor this purpose has been called for Monday night. Some years ago Princeton had a flour' shing band, but interest was allowed to wane. The band, however, owned several instruments, which have been stored itt Allenby but were sought out and brought to town this week. It is hoped to be able to get away to a good start Monday, and to create machinery whereby the band will be able to move along steadily. There will be miuch preliminary work to do before the band can even s'art practices, and no t'me can be lost if there ig to be home-brewed music for the big July 1 celebration. Already enough bandsmen and a conductor have been lined up to make the organization an assured success if all interested will only get together at the start. What a good band means to a town is hardly realizable until a town that is aCcus'omed to one is forced to do without one. As an intensifier of [civic pride, & .band hasliew parallels MINING NOTES charges Under criminal code arise from finding of body Ings Delayed Rending Finding of i _r8_»r_1 nquest to Take Place Hearlr Coroner*t Inquest 1 at Keremeos Thursday Next Charges of drunkenness and of supplying liquor to Indians have resulted from the death last Wednesday night or early Thursday morning to August Francis, Penticton Indian, whose body was found in an abandoned auto Wednesday night of last week, the sequel to a drunken Joy ride. There are tto evidences whatever of death by violence, thought violence was at first suspected. A jury has been empanelled and has viewed the body. While Dr. A. Frattcis of Hedley lias conducted the post mortem. Parts have been sent to the coast for special eXaminat;on. Neither the -inquest nor any of the charges have been given a hearing yet. It is unlikely that the charges will be heard before the inquest. The latter was last week adjourned, and will be held Thursday, April 25. The hearing of the charges was set for Saturday, but the cases will likely be remanded. Local authorities are somewhat peculiarly concerned in this case. Inasmuch as the remains were found just outside of Hedley, tne boundary of the district of jurisdiction ot locai police, the case ig handled by the Keremeos detachment; but since Dr. A. FraaeU, who is coroner for the lower valley, conducted the autopsy, Dr. D. McCaffrey of Princeton is presiding over the inquest, EXPECT POWER RATES TO BE FILED SHORTLY Regarding Coal Contract In connection with the taking of the contract by Pease & Atkinson fo_ the handling of local coal sales of the Tulameen Valley Coal mine, it should be pointed out that this does not affect con racts already held by other local transfer people. It simply means that the new agents have taken over the local sales formerly managed by the coal company themselves. * • • • Thomas Graham, M.E., inspects Nine Mile Mine Thomas Graham, M.E., consulting engineer of Victoria, and one of the best known authorities on coal fields and coal mining |n the province, was a visitor to town this week, oomlng In Monday and leaving by this after- . noon's train.

The recent withdrawal by the mining company ot the appeal to the privy council simply means the transfer of the case to another tribunal— the water board, newly invested with absolute powers ln the matter of rates settlements by an amendment to the water act at the session of the legislature just closed. It is expected that the Granby Company will be the first to fiile a protest when the power company presents its rates schedule for the Allenby plant, and the city of Grand Forks will likely follow with a similar protest shortly.

LAD INJURED BY TRACTOR Accidentally Injured by a tractor Saturday, Elmer Ross, Blakeburn youth, suffered Injuries serious enough to cause his removal first to Princeton Hospital, and then to Vancouver General Hospital, In such balmy spring weather as we are having today it is unkind to talk of the vagaries of the weather, but motorists over the Coaimont road Tuesday night had thing oi two to say about the show storm and the three inches of snow on the road. A new taxi service, local and including the Copper Mountain-Princeton run, has been established here, w'th headquarters in the old pool hall, formerly occupied by L. Q. Wilson! The proprietors^ are- Geo. Pearce and Jas. Victor, of New Westminster, both veterans -in the transportation game. Mr. Pearce has been interested in the taxi business at the coast for 22 years, and was the founder of the well known "Blue Funnel" line of stages. Mr, Victor has been in Mr. PearCe's employ for the past five years. The schedule for the Copper Moun- tain-Pr'nceton service will be an* nounced shor'ly, and it. is stated that it is planned to make two regular runs daily. As Jimmy Waugh already makes a regular daily run, this will make three uaily runs to Copper Mt. and return. In addition to the taxi business, Mr. V'ctor will also conducf a cigar, cigare _e, and confectionery business, he having taken a lease on the entire building sub-letting the card room to L. Q.

The organization got away to a good s'art at a well attended meeting, and proposes to fill a distinct and useful place in the life of its community. !— O Geo. Munay, superintendent of the Coaimont Collieries' Blakeburn mine was named president, I. McTavish, Coaimont merchant was elected Vice-president, while the duties of secretary-treasurer were placed upon the shoulders of E. G. Lucas, new manager of the Coaimont branch Royal Bank- It was agreed that a board of trade would best serve the obvious need for some necessary machinery to represent public thought in their section of the valley. It was also agreed that the organization be considered separate from and independent of the old Coaimont Commercial Association, which 'o all Intents and purposes has ceased to exist. The new board will waste no time in getting down to business, and will make a . big effort to enlist a large and'active membership, the following being responsible for this work: Messrs. Jos. Thompson. D. W. Brown, W. L. Matheson. E. Riley and G. McEachern. The need of an organization to *ake" up and discuss matters and situat'ons prevailing in the district and bring them before the public eye with a view to Improving present condit'ons where necessary hos long been felt, and it is hoped that this new association, which will divide its interests between Coaimont, Blakeburn, and Tulameen will solve this need. e Prineeton Men Visit The suggestion of a board of trade was presented to .Coalmont-BIakeburn- Tulameen district Thursday night last when a delegation from Princeton board of trade, led by W A. Wagenhauser, paid a hastily arranged but nevertheless successful visit to Coaimont, meeting with business men and C'tizens in the Coaimont Hotel, where matters encerning both ends of the valley were discussed, and the 'co-operation of the Coaimont end sought. Princeton delegates were H. J. Collas,-H. W. R. Moore, W. A. Wagenhauser, and C. R. Watson, while among..the Coaimont men present were Messrs. E. G. Lucas, McFadden, ROssiter, Riley, Morco'te and others. Arrangements are progressing for the hold'ng of the big community banquet here Friday nigh' next. Outside towns are responding well, and lt ls practically certain that this will be one of the biggest community gatherings ever attornp ed in the va'ley. Little has been heard from outside men Interested, and lt is likely that the chief concern of 'he affair will be to promote harmony within the valley. President W. A. Wagenhauser and Secretary H. W. R. Moore of Princeton board of trade are making a visit to the lower valley this afternoon in the interests ot the banquet. RETURN OF LIQUOR DENIED IN MAGISTRATE'S VERDICT Return of 209 cases of liquor seized by members of the Princeton detachment provincial police from box care here and at Belfort March 7, 8 and 9, wos denied In police court last week when Magistrate Ernest Waterman, handing down his finding Friday afternoon, declined to honor the application of the Consolidated Exporters Corporation, on the grounds that evidence showed that technically the exporting firm had made delivery here, and hence the goods were not theirs when seized. H. Wl R. Moore, who appeared for the applicant, immediately s a ted he would appeal, and intima.ed that he would secure instructions from his client for the carrying of the application to a higher court. Meanwhile agreement was made whereby the liquor will, pending appeal, be kept Intact in the local look-up, tl e services of a special watchman being retained to guard this valuable oargo, said to be worth $8,000. Three points were stressed by the magistrate in handing down a written verdict Friday afternoon. He considered that the man Jackson, who had instructed the loading of liquor onto box cars here was not acting as the agent of the Consolidated Exporters while here, but that he was acting as agent for the U.S. purchasers, and in this capacity he virtually took possession of the liquor here. Consequently, the liquor wis not legally the possession of the Consolidated, and therefore their claim for its restoration was out of order. Mr. Moore at once remonstrated that it was a question of the difference between possession and right, to which his honor replied that the onus was on the applicants to prove right of possession, which in his opinion they had not done. Formal arrangements were entered into for the safeguarding of the liquor and the storing of it bo that lt could be identified in case of return being ordered by the court of appeal.

V.I., having severed connec-" tions with the Pr'nceton Departmental Store, where he was employed as clerk in the grocery department. Here about nine months, Mr. Mounce speedily made a number of fast friends, who will greatly regret his departure. He was secretary for the. board of managers of Si. Paul's Church, and due tribute to his work was paid by Rev. Goodfellow at Sunday's service. His friends gave him a jolly send-off Monday night. Stan returns to a position as manager of Campbell Brothers' grocery department in. his native town, with whom he was employed for seven years before trying his luck here. . Incidentally. Stan has a little experience ahead of h'm, as will support the flustrated groom at wedding of a pal in Victoria next week. , Presentation A pleasing function took place at the Princeton Departmental• Store at the close of business on Monday when Mr. Wagenhauser on behalf of the staff presented Mr. S'anley Mounce who Is returning to his home on Vancouver Island with a silver lighter su'tably engraved. In expressing his regret at losing Mr. Mounce's services, Mr. Wagenhauser recalled how Mr. Mounce and Mr. Wagen- hauser's daughter Muriel had started at the Cumberland public 'school on the same day 17 years ago.

THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1929 Looking It Over [Our own and other people's views.] • LAY IT ON EASY BOB DAVE TAYLOR, PUBLISHER Dave Taylor, who, seeing that his parents reside ln South Wellington, may be claimed as a native product, has joined the glorious company of B.C. newspaper publishers. He is not onfy the laiest to join the ranks of B.C. publishers, but he is very much the youngest, and while prophecy ie hardly in our line, yet we venture to say that a good deal will be heard ot Mr. Taylor in the next few years. Dave showed more than average ability at school, and his parents sent him to the University of British Columbia from which, in due course, he graduated with double honors. 'This in itself is a notable achievement, and in fact Dave looked too young for all these honors. At least he chose a profession wherein if they are recognized they are speedily -forgotten. He won his newspaper spurs at Trail, and then, about a year ago, he went to Princeton to fill a position on the Star. He has now purchased the Star from Mr. J. A. Brown, and is out to b.aze his own trail in newspaperdom. We will be much interes ed in following that blaze, and as one publish-l er to another we wish Dave all the good luck in the world in his new enterprise.—Nanaimo Herald, WE CERTAINLY DO A reader from an outside camp— who for the sake ot protecting our resident correspondent's feelings shall remain nameless—writes; "I do not know who is supposed to send ln the news but it seems as if that column ls always vacant, so I am tak ng the liberty of sending In a litt.e news. Hoping this will meet wi h your approval," It certainly does, and we only regret that the items were received so la.e that some of them lost most of their news value and had to be discarded. Believe us, we want to see the en; tire valley represented in these columns, and, working under obvious hand-caps, it is only by co-operation from otners, not only ln Princeton, but more especially in other points, that we can hope to be of the service which ls possible to us. We invite at any-time such items, and we mildly suggest that our correspondent take this to heart—just the gu.lty ones. .For others, if you have anything that you feel is worth broadcasting, let us have it, either by notifying us direct, or by handing lt ln to one of our correspondents. We need a live correspondent ir. Allenby and we also want some stuff from the extreme lower end of the valley. Any volunteers? THE DAWN OF A COMMUNITY SPIRIT Coaimont, Blakeburn, and Tulameen by their enterprise in forming a board of trade, have taken an important step in the laudable movement for the consolidation of interes.s of the Tulameen ond Similkarneen valleys. For many years, and year after year, the story has always been "Why, things will be booming next summer." And that's perfectly true. But it did not take a very wise poet to write "Tomorrow never yet On any mortal being rose or set." Today is what matters, and what Shakespeare said about opportunity Is far more essential, Someone else has said that heaven helps those who he'.p themselves, and there's a lot of truth in the dictum. It is certainly gratifying to see seeds of community pride sown on soil so fertile. In the last few months the valley has taken a decided step forward towards the consolidation of interests, and we venture to suggest tha* un'ty of purpose and industrial -progress are practically synonymous. Keremeos and Hedley first, and then Coalmont-Blakeburn-Tulameen hove created • machinery Which will certainly make co-operation possible There is not a doubt in the world that there is a marked difference of views in various sec'ions cf the valley, and one had only to be present at the schools athlete meeting Saturday night to see that we have, in different parts of ihe valley, a whole lot to learn about ourselves. We really are very much misunderstood even by members of our community-family. Before we can hope to interest the outside, and get outsiders to understand and pull for us, we have to first understand ourselves, and start the momentum with a little pull of our own. Associated boards ot trade, like Leagues of Nations, may be to hard headed fellows sheer idealism, but there Is not so much difference be; tween Idealism and sane common sense, if you give it a chance. It's not tie idea, but the application thereof. Too many and too frequent have been the little estrangements of the past. These will not be eliminated by the establ'shment of an associated board, but cer'ainly an occasional get together, and the realization of a big common object ahead of local petty ambitions will undoubtedly work for the broad-minded attitude necessary to us if we are to appeal to the outside world. This being so, the banquet of Tula- mqen-Slmilkameen citizens here Friday night affords a real opportunity for the concrete embodiment of all these sentiments and ambitions. It is a matter of vital interest to the community, and its high and solemn purpose should not be clouded by its entertainment value. Princeton—staid old Princeton—is even catching the spring fever that is rousing its tributary points to action. It seems that something of a civic prld_ Is stirring here. It was good for the soul to see such a gr'at- 'tying response to appeals for a cleanup, and now they're talking about a band. Well, Utopia isn't necessarily in ihe clouds, you know.

This is a reversion of the system formerly in vogue, though last year the date was set for- v ard considerably. E. M. Crooker of Keremeos was named president, this being a succession from the vice-presidency to fill the place vacated by the departure of Dr. Lee Smith. Ned Nelson of Copper Mountain was named vice- president, and J. A. Brown of Princeton will again be secretary. Considerable was the opposition from the lower valley to the selection of Copper Mountain as the venue of this year's meet but by a narrow majority after a lengthy discussion, these object'ons were overruled by majority vote the- deciding factor be ing tha* the preva'ling sysiem of a' ternating. the annual meeting be up held for this year, but that from nex< year an effort be made to centralis' the mee* permanently. In this way, it is felt, a recurrence of the deadlock of Saturday's mee' ing. on the award'ng of the meet tr Copper Mountain, could be avoided: iwrel. pyenly distrib.u'ed; the mee' generally stabilized, and the ex peUses greatly reduced, in that a cen <ral association would handle the meet and all its financing. Thi. markg a gradual_trend towards cen tralizatlon commenced With the de cision last year to form a definite af sedation, whose purpose it would bf _ foster sport among" 'Similkarneen schools. There will be few innovat'ons in connection with this year's meet, with Copper Mountain responsible for the .bulk of the preliminary work, a task wh'ch they have already begun. The program will he the same as las' year's, and the' rulings also un changed, the code of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada to hold ex cept where local rules have been made. The rule calling for advance entries will be stnc'y enforced. Tih. executive committee, who automatically become the trustees for the Mc Kenzie cup, will be ultimately re sponsible for all mat*ers in connec tion with the staging of the meet. Officers Officers elected for the year were- President ,E. M. Croolter, Keremeos: vice-president, N, E. Nelson, Copper Mt.; secretary-treasurer, J. A. Brown Prlncefon. One or two perplexing problems arose, and one or two constitutional precedents resulted. A definite limitation was made to the right of proxy when it was determined that proxy eoulthonly be carried by a direct rep resentative from the same town, on presentation of proper credentials, and proper excuse from his pr'ncipal. Each school now properly represented shall be en'itled to two votes at meetings of the association. The most difficult, mattet in connection w'th the meet was the opposition of lower valley po'nts to Copper Mountain's application for this year's meet. The lower valley presented a united front against this award on the grounds that public opinion in their sect'on held that the distance was too great, and the Copper Mt. road too dangerous. Copper Mountain strongly opposed this sentiment, and were supported by upper valley delegates, who, while expressing a desire to see the venue more central, claimed that lt was only fair that the meet should con- t'nue to go its rounds as promised when it was Inaugurated, and also discounted the views from the lower valley on the Copper Mt, road. However, their sentiments'" prevailed only by a vei-y narrow margin, and really on a technicality, thg right of Hedley to be represented by proxy by in outside man, previously instructed to oppose Copper Mountain's plan, being Questioned. Twice the meeting split 4-4 on Hedley's right, which, if granted, would surely have meant the denial of Copper Mountain's application, until Chairman E. M. Crooker, expressing a desire to be fair to the entire association, cast the deciding ballot against Hedley's proxy right, and thus allowed the motion favoring Copper Mountain to carry E-4. Would Centralize Meet Delegates were instructed to take up wi'fa their schools the suggestion to centralize the meet, either at Hedley, Keremeos, or Princeton, and the matter will be decided at a special session following the Copper Mt. mee^t, PRINCETON AT COPPER MT. Princeton footballers will Journey to Copper Mountain Sunday -to meet the team representing that town. Blakeburn had wished the Princeton team to play there Sunday, but Copper Mountain had first oall. Princeton will have by the first snow fall, a standard ski-jumping hill, which In the early opinions of local enthusiasts will be at least the equal of anything In the province. This intimation was given Tuesday night when a well attended meeting convened in the Scandinavian Hall to consider the report of the special committee appointed to in- vest'gate a site for the hill. The committee suggested a hill properly a part of the new Princeton golf rourse, but actually sk'rting the course on the upper side. The golfers, it was reported, were willing to have the ski club take over for win- ter us. this hill gratis, and in so doing the skiers are protected by a ten h'uar lease held by the golf club. Fcilowing several glowing reports by officials who had Inspected the property, the meet- Ing unanimously decided to adopt She hill, and made preliminary plans for clearing the site and ■•fWedtlnB the necessary take-off. If Princeton's -ski hill' is ell the jo- •al experts say for it, then their am- iltious program to bring in outsiders "or annual tournaments, and to go thead with the sport on a somewhat startling scale, is justified. According to E. Engen, veteran jumper, who has recently taken up employment here, coming -from Pen- icton, Pr'nceton has one of the best latural hills he has ever seen, and ■mite the equal of any hill in the pr-ov- nce, not even excepting Revelstoke, where, because of the very nature of the hill, jumping becomes a business rather than a recreation.

EXPENDITURE PLANNED FOR NORTH WASHINGTON ROADS follow him every inch of the way from the time he starts to the time he completes his jump. Plans are alr.eady being discussed for the putting of the hill into good shape. Wprk will be done by voluntary helpers, who will launch "bees" un.il the course is cleared—a comparatively simple job, and the necessary preparations made. E. Engen will have charge of the laying out of the lines of the jump. It is likely that the take-off will be at an elevation of some seven feet, whereas it is said that the Banff take-off is 30 feet. In addition, the hill is on the unexposed side, which will keep the glare ot the sun out of the jumpers' eyes, and will give a longer season. A working committee appointed some time ago will get to work arranging for the improvements to the hill. Big Plans Plans for the future are somewhat momentous. Now that skl-ing has been successfully launched, it ls hoped to place the sport on an established basis, and In time to make Princeton a recognized center for the sport. Erection of a permanent club house was considered, but it was thought inexpedient at this time, as arrangements might be made with the golf club for the use of the present club house for jumpers only. Encouragement of the youngsters was regarded by the meeting as essential it the sport ls to flourish. In this respect the hill is suitable, as there are several places for smaller jumps, which could be used not only by the youngsters, but also by townspeople who took to the sport for enjoyment. But to introduce the sport bigger things are planned including a tournament in early January, to which •Revelstoke and Vancouver -Jumpers, possibly including the world famous Nels Nelson, will be invited. Affiliation with the Western Ski Association may be considered later, and the club is going about the drafting of a con- s itutlon. With the holding of the annual general meeting, ana the election of officers, October 1, it is hoped to enter into a new era in local sport. If...
