THE PRINC N STAR Published in the Interests of Mining Snj§||^|§|j|Iture in the Similkameen Thirtieth Ye^r—No. 47 PRINCETON, B.C., THURSE*®.OCTOBER | 1929 ■ PBR YEAR: fa.oo Cub Slngla Copy 5c, Associated Trades Council Hold Inaugura W. A. Wagenhauser, president of the Princeton Board of rade and one of the men primarily responsible for the organization of the amalgamated body, was honored with the first presidency of the Assoc'ated Trades Council of the Similkameen when this new machinery for the advancement of united interests of the valley came into action witn an inaugural- meeting in the Pr'nceton Cafe Thursday, following a banquet at which some twenty delegates were guests of Mr. Wagenhauser. Princeton will also appoint the secretary, though who this will be is not yet decided, as Mr. H, W. R. Moore, present delegate, will be resigning shortly on account of leav- ng the town. His successor as Prince on delegate will assume the secretaryship of the council The council got right down to business without bothering much about its constitution, except to decide, pending approval of the respect've trade boards, that the president shall be selected .from within the membership of the council rather than by the appointment of an outsider as previously determined. DELEGATES INCLUDED Keremeos-Cawston: L. S. Coleman and C. H. Sismey; Coalmont-Blake- burn—E. G. Lucas and K. A, Pope; Hedley—T. A. Heeney and G. vP. Jones; Princeton—W. A. Wagenhauser and H. W. ft. Moore. To give informat'on on various topics, also present were R. I_. Cawston, N. Sinclair, E. E. Burr, E. Mcintosh, J, A. Brown, _. A. Dodd, J. Hammill, J. Felhauer, P. W. Gregory, and L. S. Coleman. COMMUNITY SPIRIT A historic event, marking the jblrth of better feeling and of a 'ne^fera of progress by .united' ettoTt$rir&s' how W. A. Wagenhauser branded the gathering, in welcom'ng ihe delegates. He believed that, taken in the proper spirit, the work ot this council would rebound to the great advantage of the valley at large .■.;' SALE SUCCESS The Princeton Department Stores have, no doubt, proved at their present sale that real bargains properly advertised selljv.'thout the aid of outside salesmen. Their sale, which _is time they put on themselves has proved the most successful one they have yet held. SEPTEMBER SCHOOL REPORTS A. Wagenhauser KEREMEOS-CAWSTON ASK AID IN POWER BID CAWSTON PLEADS FOR DIRECT THOROUGHFARE 1-Orne CampbeT.I Invited to With Trades Council Here Confer J. W_ Hammill Stresses Need New Connection with Keremeoe for HOPE-PRINCETON ROAD IS FIRST OBJECTIVE Coalmont-Tulameen's Claim for Direct Road Temporarily Shelved Power supply for the lower valley will be strenuously advocated by the Associated Trades Council of the Similkameen, which wMI at ones open negotiations with the West Kootenay Power and Light Company with this aim in, view. This a titude was adopted at ■ the meeting of the Associated Trades Council Thursday night, - and immediate steps were taken. To go into the matter of power supply Mr. Lome Campbell of Rossland, manager of the Wesri Kootenay Power and Ligh Com- p_ny, will be invited to confer with the council at an early date. r. Campbell is reported to have stated th'a't his company would be wil. ing tp consider reasonable terms. Obvious difficuli'es confront advo- vates of this agreement. Though the lines run directly through Keremeos | ■,-'--,- - ;-r-- —,- Mr ^ | Once again, championed by J. W. Hammill, the plea for direct road connection between Keremeos and Cawston, via the line of the Great Northern Railway, Was urged when the Associated Trades Council met Thursday night. A Cawston man recently calculated that to travel Zy2 mileg he has to go round 6J/j> miles to reach Keremeoe. It appears there has been some difficul y over the right of way, •which runs through the Daly Ranch. The road would be used chiefly in taking produce to Keremeos. WANTS LANDS DEVELOPED That before such a road was built, money Would be better invested in the development of bench land for orchard purposes, was the. opinion of R, L, Cawston. who admitted he had opposed the road oh this bass. Here was 120 acres of what could be .made into the- best orchard- land in B.C. 25J)Q| be made ayailsbl-Tor^iiiEFandTrrFI gation would be costly. H -To bu Id a line from the Okanagan Falls sub-station or from Allenby would cost about $2,000 per mile of l'ne, and some $40,000 form transformers, it was estimated. MANY ADVANTAGES Many and distinct, however, were the advantages that would result. Cheap power for irrigation purposes would bring about a new eja for fruit growing, and would almost certainly result n the development of more orchard land. HEDLEY TO HELP While Hedley for the time being is priVately supplied by the Hedley Gold Mining Company's plant, cheap power would be very attractive to the company, and Hedley has promised co-operation, as have all other valley boards. Keremeos has in the past attempted to come to an agreement with the power company, and negotiations have been opened, but the guarantee asked was beyond the powers of the citizens. However, if an arrangement could be made, Keremeos was only too ready to come to terms. Cawston expressed the same view. WOULD DENY PERMIT A resolution was passed asking the department of lands to decline, peding advices from, the council, permi'ss'ion of a Kere- nvean to install I a private light- ling plant; using a senrviJdiesel engine. Hip plan was to provide for the needs of only the attractive section of the town, and not to provide for irrigation at all. It was felt that to permit this would raise a serious Obstacle in the Way of procuring power for the whole section.

Kelowna, B.C., Sept. 27, 1929. ■jft_*i<i_f'<,'rfii hfii%M Would only provide the wo partn_nt with an excuse to delaya-l the building of any road; and this at a time when af r eighteen years' agitation, the government, as a result of petitions of Similkameen peop'c, and on the approval of every board of trade In the southern interior, was, according to Its own avowals, practically ready to undertake the task along established fines; Of all who spoke on the question, only tho Coaimont delegates favored the immediate construction of tbe Tulameen route, and of the eight council votes six were opposed. The Coaimont delegates, however, made a very creditable stand. STRESS NEEDS The real need to the Tulameen end of the Valley for' such a road was stressed by Messrs. Pope and Lucas. This route was the shortest of any to the coast, and in part at least, afforded the best grade, they urged. It was proposed to follow the middle pass, giving a grade of one four tenths per cent, on the east slope, and 2.7 per cent on the west'" Wh''e there would be considerable side-hill, there would be little or no rock work, and the task would be comparatively easy. SCENIC ATTRACTIONS That the' road would be a beaten pat hfor tourists seemed assured. Grand scenery — Mount Manson, Mount Rambler, and other lofty peaks—was all around. There was a beautiful valley eight miles long; giant trees afforded pleasure to the eye and opportuni'y for development of timbering industry. By linking up wt'h a five mile cutoff, to the. Cass road, direct access could be given to Jessica, scene of sensational mining developments. The cost of the entire project would not be in excess of $100,000, and the government had already, it was said, _R TELEGRAPH SERVICE SOUGHT BY LOV/ER VALLEY ges^Compfain That Is Badly C.ampsd and Expensive Service iter telegraph rates for the t valley were urged before (Associated Trades Council. . the Government Telephones transferred their fines to the Telephone Company, ser- Ee was much poorer and prices p^nfach higher, .Vyplis was hot. lt was pointed out, j8e|lEauit of" the telephone company, wiaSie charter did not provide- for Ifagknissiori of telegraph messages. \,.

NOT JUST NOW "Your idea is a good one, and We are with you, but until we accomplish a greater task, you must keep your hands off" was the opposition argument in a nut-shell. The political aspect would loom large, it was held. The chief reason that the Hope-Princeton road, one of the oldest projects in the province, remained unbuilt, was because there had been so much competition in the matter of a route. For many years Similkameen opinion itself was divided. Three different routes were advocated, and the government used this difference of an opinion as an excuse for doing nothing, while better organized opinion came forward to snatch away the PRINCETON Public School Prescribed school days 20 Days in session ■ 20 Total actual attendance 3870.5 Average actual attendance .__..' 193.52 Pupils actually attending ...«. 201 Total number of pup Is late 13 High School Prescribed school days 20 Days in session 20 Total actual attendance .- 865 Pupils actually attending 47 Total number of pupils late :..".i.. 14 Perfect attendance 31 ALLENBY SCHOOL Division I (W.

Heroic Efforts Fall to Save Life of Robert McLaren Thursday Burled under a small avalanche of rock in the Wilson slope of the Blakeburn coal mine of the Coaimont Coll'ereis, Ltd., Robert Andersh McLaren, a native of Perthshire, Scotland, and for seven years a Blakeburn resident, was smothered to death Thursday afternoon. The frantic efforts of all available men in the mine were al in vain. Injections were made into the man's arm in order to stimulate the heart as soon as parts of the body were exposed, but the caving rock came down on the workers. For two hours after the unfortunate man had been removed from the debr's.the first aid men took turns in.applying artificial respiration, but without avail. - DIP-EVERYTH 1'NO. * POSSIBLE Immediately the accident occurred the unfortunate man's partner, obtained help, and all available men were ' rushed to the spot. Mr. George Murray, mine manager ,r'sked his life in ah effort to save that of his employee. The timbering had been only recently Inspected, and was in good shape, though the roof at this point is somewhat treacherous. WAS AN ATHLETE Prior to coming here the late Mr. McLaren had spent some years at Extension, Vancouver Island. Though he had not taken a prominent part in organizations, he was a most willing worker in any community cause. He gained considerable fame as axy athlete in his younger days. Jle was a man of fine physique. He was forty years of age, H's widow survives. CAPT. PARKINSON LANDS AT PRINCETON FIELD CARD OF THANKS Flying from Grand Forks on the last lap of a trans-Canada tour, Capt. J. D. Parkinson, holder of the Can- din altitude record, arrived in Pr'nceton about 1:30 Monday, and after a stop of about three quarters of an hour, pushde on to Vancouver. He came here from Grand Forks and his trip was delayed a day on account of weather conditions. He made the hop from Grand Forks in two hours, and to Vancouver in a little better than an hour and a half. He was accompanied by W. Banchard, his mechanic, in a Curtiss Reid flying service monoplane. MAJ. TUDHOPE COMING Cap. Parkinson was more than pleased with the Five Mile landing field, and expressed the opinion that if Major Tudhope, of the department of national .defense saw the field, he would certainly allow registrat'on. The following wire was sent to Major Tudhope at Ottawa,,who is due to travel this route in a short time: "Captain J. D. Parkinson landed here today; praises field. Board of Trade here specially wishes you to make a call here on your western trip and nspect our field.' Princeton Board of Trade, E. E. Burr." Capt. Parkinson may land here _._;ain on return. OLD MAID SOF YESTER YEAR TO RETURN TO PRINCETON I take this opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks to our many fr'ends to tendered sympathy in my sad' bereavement, and! for flora- tributes sent. MRS, B. A, M8_A____. To those who recall the aching sides of a year ago when the old maids strutted their stuff under the auspices of St. Cuthbert's Guild in a rollicking farce, "The Old Maids' Convent on," the announcement that the coy old step sisters are again ready to make a public bow will come as welcome news. They are billed to appear Oct. 24 in "The Old Ifaids' Return," a sequel to the original farce. This number is said to be even more humorous than the original.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER" 3, 1929 Looking It Over [Our own and other people's views.] "OF GOOD REPORT" This week the youngsters were seen proudly bearing from school the first reports of the year; crisp and clean, and no doubt reoordmg eager work inspired by early season enthusiasm. As ths months go by these reports will lose their crispness; in record as well as appearance. Some of course, more than others. Some will show a graph line of consistent endeavor; a high level of excellence; some will indeed show a steady improvement'. Others, alas, will show a downward trend as dull carelessness sneaks in at the back door to - chase early enthusiasm out of the w'ndow. Seme reports in June will still be neat appearing; others will be dirty and torn; some lost. Life could be chronicled on such a report. And the same would hold true of adults as is true of the school boy. There is the initial enthusiasm which gradually loses momentum and finally wanes off into indifference. It is neither the tortoise nor the hare which should be our guide; rather should we fix our gaze on some high starred purpost, and we need worry little about soiled reports or descending graphs. TRANSITS MAY FACE SERIOUS CHARGE FOR RAILWAY THEFT Arrested here in a box car on a Kettle Valley freight, following advices from Penticton, four transients are being held on what are expected to be serious charge's. It is alleged that they stole from the railway company four mattresses, which were found in their possession and are now" held by police, as wall as blankets. At present they are detained on a minor charge under the Railway Act, that of trespassing, but it is expected charges of theft will be laid if the men are sent back to Penticton. In police court before Mag'strate E. Waterman the men pleaded guilty, and are being detained for sentence. The maximum for "the theft charge is fourteen years. WAGE PAYMENT Found guilty as charged under the semi-monthly payment of wages act, Eugene Church, operating placer claims near the mouth of Eagle Creek, was sentenced by Magistrate Wjaterman to pay a fine of $100, in default his chattels will be seized to pay this amount, and again failing this, the sentence Will be thirty days.

Double Headline Attraction Planned For Next Princeton Arena Fight Card JEP80N WINS FROM WILSON WHEN LATTER HURTS ARM STUBBS TO MEET CASEY HERE THURSDAY NEXT Nels Jepson, forceful grappler who blew in from Spokane way some weks ago, brought his local campaign to a close Saturday with a decision over Curly Wilson In a match that was not exactly satisfactory. An injured arm sustained when each had gained a fall forced WS1- j son's seconds to throw in the towel and Referee Joe Reece handed the dec'slon to the loquatious Jepson. Wilson took the flrst fall, but after considerable rough and tumble work Jepson secured the equalizer, and they continued their warring way until Wilson's misfortune. ONE FOR JACK The mighty atoms, Jack Appleby and Joe Caruso, continued to exchange love lteters sealed with dynamite through another three fast rounds. Appleby showed plenty of defensive skill, but found the weight of Caruso's wallops very trying when they connected, Caruso's backers loudly voiciferat- ed when the decision was awarded to Appleby. The matches were staged ln the Princeton Arena, but were not promoted by Joe Hartman. The crowd was rather sparce, for once. THE CARD Six rounds—Robinson vs. Unknown. Wrestling—Casey vs. Stubbs.

This cadr replaces that originally set for i Thursday of this week, it being found | impossible to complete arrangements ! in the stipulated time. The double main event should prove popular, and the card holds something for enthusiasts of both fight games. The matches appear to be good, and either would make an attractive single headliner, STUBBS TO APPEAR The wrestling Will give local fans a chance to see Dick Stubbs, who, though he has been at Copper Mountain for some time, has yet to appear ln a Princeton ring. He is a capable exponent of the mat game, and of course held the B.C. amateur t'.tle at his weight a few years back. He took a decision from Jepson recently, though he conceded considerable weight. REAL BOXING MATCH Those who favor boxing will not be disappointed. While arrangements have not yet been completed, a fir,"} rate bout is promised. Robinso,,,' who is well known in Vancouver c'rcles, has found employment here, and with" one half of a good match bo easily made, Mr. Hartman is determined to see that a worthy opponent is found. He has eyes on the Blakeburn champion but if he cannot be induced to appear, Joe intends to bring in Spider Kelly, well known Vancouver lad, who appeared here July 1, when he did not show to advantage for the simple reason that he was up aga nst a much heavier and better man in Townsend, who has since made so meteoric a climb. LOCAL BOUTS Three good local p&lrings round off the card. All are return matches, and will be keenly contested. Cun- illfe and Dodd have a draw decision to break, as have Wilson and Waterman. The latter got a b g surprise when he found Wilson ready to take all he had, and ask for more. He is likely to find Wilson a much improved fighter this time. JOE AND JACK A- real tid bit is the dustweight affair. Joe Caruso jumped into favor in his first start as a fighter after our own hearts, and certainly appears to have a future before him. Appleby has been well tutored, and ig wiihoui a doubf the cieverest of all local youngster. Caruso won the first decision, but lost out Saturday, so this will be keener than ever, Best in Town THAT'S what they say of tha Fat Cafe Excellent Cooking Superb Pastry Ice Cream, Drinks Meals at All Hours CLEAN COOL AIRY Special!

Sorenson, consistent winner of the Princeton Golf Club's' IftKe arguments, once aga,in annexed premier honors when be sue osssfuMy defended nls title as o:ub champion and annexed again the championship trophy, defeating Ernie Gray 2 and 1. Miss Freeman, the most brilliant woman golfer on the club's books, had considerably less difficulty n winning honors in her section, taking the final from Mrs. Lansing, 6 and 4. UP AND DOWN The men's final was a thrilling a fair. Both men were shooting steady if not brilliant golf, and every hole was keenly fought out. Sorenson got away to a good start and was two up at the end of the first nine. Then Gray struck exceptional form and took seven holes in a row, to give h. m an advantage of five almost at the half way mark. Sorenson began an almost hopeless task to recover. At the end of the third round he had gained two pegs, duplicating his first round performance. i?-.^ The final round was almost as big a triumph for Sorenson as the second was for Grey. He steadily overcame the lead, and at the end won out at the thirty-fifth hole. In the semi-finals the champion and runner-up had easy victories. Sorenson won from Field 5 and 3 and Grey took Moore nto camp 6 and 4, The flrst round saw Sorenson beat Wilson; Grey beat S. Ewart, Moore be| Nye and Field beat Coles. Seventeen started, MISS FREEMAN'S VICTORY In the ladies' competition,. Miss Freeman rode rough shod over all competition. Her opponent in the final was Mrs. Lansing, who gained a right to the honor by defeating ln the flrst round Mrs. Sorenson, defend ng champion, and ln the second, Mrs, Field. Miss freeman disposed of Mrs. H. C. Smith m the first round, and Mrs. Taylor in the semifinal. In the other first round match Miss Coles lost to Mrs. Field, Mrs, Taylor drawing a bye, TIE FOR MONTHLY MEDAL MEDAL IN SUNDAY'S PLAY Another tie was returned when the monthly medal was competed for at 'Princeton golf links Sunday, J.

They had a fine apartment, lots of friends. Life was one continuous party. Then Jack took sick. First an appendix; then, as he was getting over that, "flu" set in and pneumonia developed. Jack was laid up for 15 weeks. Of course, he hadn't a penny saved, so his friends and his wife's parents had to come to their financial assistance. But that wasn't all. If Jack had died he would have had to be buried at somebody else's expense. Why? Because he and his wife were both living for today and spen every penny that he earned. His illness taught him a lesson. He now owns $20,000 of Confederation Life Insurance. It only costs him $12.50 a week—but it insures a life competence to Mary. If you are married and are earning $75 a week, or more, you should own at least $20,000 of life insurance. If you are not carrying this amount, let us assist you to get it.

The object was to keep away as far as possible from the Coquihalla and the Tulameen route was very close at some -points.

While this road was thirty miles longer than the Tulameen route, it gave access to a much larger area of adjoining territory. "I have been in the Similkameen thirty-two years, and 'I have travelled every trail," eaid E. E. Burr. ."I remember going over the Tulameen route twenty-nine years ago. I wil! never forget-the rugged grandeur of the Coquihalla as •t struck me on that first trip." At the same time, the difficulties if travel in the Coquihalla belt, vh'eli paralleled the Fraser Canyon, rere well known, and the Kamloops istrict. made capital of the allega- ion that the Hope road would rim hrough the Coquihalla—which was :ot according to fact—in opposing . e building of the road- and advo- ating the Fraser aCnyon route. To ■mild a road of the same calibre as ! hat planned for the Roche would be ostly. One bridge would cost a tor- i line. _|*K ^S _ .0 NEAR AND YET SO FAR The time seemed ripe for the building next year of the long awaited Hope-Princeton road. The government had practically pledged itself to this, and must now be given no possible excuse for delay. It was one road or none a*t all. A few years ago a similar point was reached. Hon. Dr. Sutherland,' then m'nister of works, came to H ere an dTh ere (388) "The greatest apple crop in the history of Nova Scotia," is the almost unanimous opinion expressed by prominent fruit growers and Government experts of the province. It Is estimated the crop will reach 2,500,000 barrels, at least half a million barrels more than any other crop ever raised in Nova Scotia. Iji preparation for the opening of the 1929 big game hunting season in New Brunswick, .25.000 hunting licenses have been sent out from the - Department of Lands and Mines to 300 vcndo"3 in all parts of the province. E. W. Beatty, chairman and pre* sident of the Canadian Pacific Railway, accompanied .by a group of directors of the company, is now on his annual tour of inspection of company's properties and conditions in the west. Resorts, agricultural centres, experimental farms, mines and smelting plants, as well as the system itself was inspected during the tour which started September 5 fro__ Montreal and closes at Winnipeg October 2. "I am watching with the greatest interest the progress being achieved in the United States where railways are experimenting in the use of aeroplanes as adjuncts to their railway services," said E. W. Beatty, chairman and president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, interviewed at Toronto recently. 'There they are using planes by day ln certain places and rail travel by night and the experiments are very Interesting to me," the president added.

He would, then have this surveyed, and cross- sectioned. This work was actually done, but indecision crept in and the project was shelved. Roads were being asked wholesale. Local people must watch and grasp their oppor- lir.ity with both hands. Coaimont delegates, rebutting, pointed out that Mr. Cleveland had never actually examined their proposed road, and that at the nearest point the route lay 20 miles from tje .Coquihalla. The road wouldd be open fully seven month of the year, and a saving o_ thirty miles meant a great deal. Neutral delegates pointed out that 'here was, even if the Tulameen road were built, forty-five miles of recon- E-1 ruction to do between Summit Camp and Princeton. United action, was certainly necessary, and it_ appeared tLat for the good of all, the Roche route should have preference. Dr. King, it must be remembered, had appropriated $100,000 for work -on this road, but because of disagreement it had never been used for its purpose. SEFVE LOV/ER VALLEY That the indications were that the Eovornment was preparing for the !■.. 'ding of the Roche road, was the opinion of lower valley delegates. Local roads were first, being made attractive—as witness the Keremeos- Princetrfii road—so that the extra THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1929 traffic could be handled These— especially the Yellow Lake ro^d to Penticton—should' be first given attention and it- would only be a shirt time before ranchers were hauling oroduce to Vancouver' and a great deal of tourist traffic was routed through the valley.
