ESTABLISHMENT of forestry *-' camps for British Columbia's single unemployed is announced by the Provincial government. The camps, which will in general follow the plan of last year, will all be located at the Coast, due to the severity of Interior winter. Wages will be 30c an hour, less 75c a day for board; and statutory reductions. Registration is now under way, and no person entering British Columbia after 27th October will foe eligible for relief. It is understood that the convicted "tin-canners" now serving sentences in Oakalla will be released and wiil become eligible for employment. Forestry officials state the plan worked very well last year. The work undertaken is of real vaue to the province, and the men were tooth satisfactory and satisfied.

But Eort will not be going round' the world. The amount was only £100, about $490 in Canadian currency, which, however, makes a tidy addition to a man's income, and Bert is receiv'ng the congratulations of his friends. No, Matilda, Bert did not win the race. The race was won by a horse, and Bert placed a lucky bet, naughty lad. Local Man's Brother Wins English Classic —&— MANY an eager local eye scans "* the sweepstake lists on the big English races, tout Princeton had perhaps a bigger interest in the recent Ceasarwioh than perhaps it realized at the time.. For the event, one of the major flat races of the season, was won by Major R. B. Glover's entry, the well known Artist Prince, and Major Glover, though he has never been here, is one of Princeton's largest investors. He holds a major interest, in the townsite company, the Princeton Properties and its associate companies. It will be' recalled that only recently he donated a flag for the Cenotaph. He is a brother of Mr. Francis Glover of Princeton. Anyone who knows racing realizes that Major Glover's triumph is no empty one. The distinguished field included entries carrying the colors of Sir Abe Bailie, Lord Derby and other leading racing celebrities. The horse, by Artist's Proof out of Princess Galahad, is one of a small but choice stable kept by Major Glover as his hobby. It ran a splendid race to win by a neck at odds of 13 to 1. It was ridden by the well known jockey, Richardson and the victory was ail the more notable in that it broke for him a long slump. He had not brought home a winner in 80 starts. To further reveal what a small world it is, Major Goldman, who has mining interests at Nicola and ' is a frequent visitor, is a great friend of Sir Abe Bailey, who, like Major Goldman, has mining interests m Africa. Dust Nuisance May Be Subject Of Suit k POSSIBILITY of a damage suit '* over the GfaSSby Power Plant alleged smoke nuisance was aired this week when Mr. Robert Schulli, a large private land-holder of West Princeton made known his intention to seek redress for alleged dam age to h!s property. To Mr. Schulli, it was all a matter of cabbages and other vegetables." They no paya me for spoil my cabbage, I gonna sue hm" said Mr. Schulli. He pointed out that the dust deposit had ruined his garden. He said he intended to seek private redress but failing this he would bring court action. No official action has been taken, it is understood. DINNED under an over-turned car while gasoline from a broken gas line dripped over his face and body, popular Buck Allison last S'ln day had an experience that tested even his stalwart mettle. His car overturned near Keremeos. He suffered a dislocated shoulder and: is recovering in Princeton hospital. Two compan'ons were uninjured. Banking Facilities At Hedley 1 Day A Week k- I5ANKING FACILITIES, long the ^ yearning of Hedley's business section, have at last been provided, though only on a minor scale. A service will be maintained part-day Tuesday each week, the board of trade having arranged free accommodation in the Shatford block. Service will commence 9th November. HEAVY RAINS HIT PROVINCE * Similkameen Escapes With Little Damage; Rail Service Cut IIEAVY RAINS which drenched ** the entire North-west on Wednesday caused considerable damage: in British Columb'a but the effects were fortunately not very severe m tile Similkameen. A (bridge was washed out in th"? Coqu'halla, causing trains to be routed via Spence's Bridge for two days. In a blasting accident during the clearing of a slide on the same line a workman was fatally injured. Main lines of both the C.P.R. and CNR were blocked by slides, and the Fraser Canyon highway was colsed for three days as a result of lides a Yale and Boston Bar. In many other sections of the North-West local damage was done. In the Simiibameen despite a heavy fall and suddenrun-off, no great damage resulted. The rivers rose, however, at the rate of a foot a hour to an almost record high for this season of the year. Sections of retaining wall on sidehill roads or. the Princeton Heights road acfid -Similkameen, river bridge hill were leached out. Mrs. H. Hunter reported her official recording as .98 inch rainfall. « DR. GILLIS VISITS Dr. J. J. Gillis, Yale M.L.A, was inspecting the Coalmont end of his riding Friday.

Crusading Minister Has Vivid Memory of Valiley . is * But Loquatious Glaswegian Has An Even More Vivid Imagination teSiP-" *—1 HOW a modern St. Paul, with a dogged Scottish vigor and a flair for the spectacular, conquered the dragon of vice in the tough mining town of Princeton back in the hell-roarin' days of 1912, and then gave the land back to the Indians, makes fulsome reading; but it is ail blarney. In a current issue of a nationally known magazine some silly schoolgirl has a graph'c saga of a mission ary's experiences in the Northwest, under the caption of "Nothing for Nothing, and Very Little for Sixpence." No doubt there is plenty in the life "of any sky-pilot to make a good story, but this justifies all that Shakespeare said about the eerie midnight making bears out of trees. Any newspaperman likes a good story, but there is also a peculiar pleasure in debunking one. So when, as the "hate subscribers" say, the article was "brought to our attention", we instituted a search, and the result was disarming. But first the story. Hero of. the piece is Rev. J. Richmond Craig, the well-known crusading divine. The setting is the take-it-as-you-find-it mining camp of Princeton, pay day in the Rockies in the open bar days of 1912. After backing up the gospel with a .44 revolver in Argentine, breaking the spirit of a notorious Alberta pony, and winning the adoration of the miners in the gold rush at Stewart, he came to Princeton, no doubt to combine the feats. But he did not use a. lassoo in this wild coal and cattle town. ,Nor a .44. Accommodating the saying that the pen is mightier than the sword, he used the press, even the mighty Similkameen Star, twinkling like a candle of purity over the dark and k [ Continued on Page Seven] China Creek Viaduct Is Great Improvement is PLIMINATING one of the worst ** spots on local roads, the China Creek viaduct is nearing completion with only a certain amount of filling and diversion fluming to be done. A 75 foot viaduct has been built to carry the creek under the road, replacing the old and unpopular wooden bridge, which by reason of its position and .approach was a dangerous spot, especially in winter, and Coalmont and' Blakeburn folk are very pleased with the change. The work was done by contract by T. J. McAlpine. Road foreman Al Johnstone is taking care of the fill and the re-routing of the irrigation ditch. Penticton Again Hot Over Hope Highway ts PENTICTON organizations rose in * their might this week to con-~ demn the dlatory tactics of the government re the Hope-Princeton road. A delegation which visited the project gave it as its opinion that the work for which $35,000 was allotted this season "could have been done for five or six thousand dollars." Strong protests were address- sed to the government urging com- plet'on of the road. PAGE TWO * THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR, PRINCETON, B.C.

PRINTER, EDITOR, PUBLISHEh PRINCETON, B.C., THURSDAY, 28th OCTOBER, • There is st 11 hope for the o'd world, for the good old antidote for chaos has the blessing of at least one magistrate, and common sense has saved the world for democracy. An irate parent had complained to the law that h's darling counterpart had been beset by the young man next door, and for the sake of the drama, it was entered as assault. They were all nice and frank about it. The boy said the young fellow spanked h'm; the father cor. roborated it; and so did the young man. The last-named, a University student, added that the youngster was making a nuisance of himself, and .particularly addressed his efforts towards annoying the young man's aunt. So the young man spanked him, for he was evidently on© of the good old fashioned type that gives some hope or our universities even in this sophisticated age. Now it was up to the judge, and the judge, like the young man had evidently had a good old fashioned upbringing, and knew whereof he spoke when he upheld the honored institution of the paddle. So he gave the'father a lecture, and the young man his liberty. Child psychology makes nice reading, but it is all the better with a few old style punctuation marks. • Mr. Howard Scott, the father of Technocracy, that wierd bra n- c'bild out of eccentricity, is, like the village constable, an arresting gentleman, albeit quite as futile. His system is an attempt to correlate two poles, scientific exactness or. the one hand, and human irra. tionalism on the other. However faulty his method if bringing them into harmony, there is no doubt that he occasionally uncorks some good stuff at either end. After telling us that Technocracy would make a famous SEAport out of Trail (my kingdom for an atlasl, he released this gem of undoubted wisdom: "North America is divided into two classes, chiselers and suckers", and the slang is Mr. Scott's. is [Coninued on Page Five] * A Thought For Hallowe'en Correspondence [Correspondents' Views Are Not Necessarily Those of This Paper] Editor, The Star. Sir: lH A few of my friends and myself would like to start a gossip column ii: The Star. It would not be anything personal, but just a few hints about different characters :'n town. I feel sure the people of Princeton would soon get interested and look forward to the next edition of The Star. We would appreciate very much if you .would let us know right away what you think pf the idea. Yours etc., Princeton, B.C. J. M. 21st October, 1937. Ed. Note—It has constantly been the endeavor of The Star to serve all interests in the Similkameen fairly, fully and accurately, and .-any- failure has been due to the limnVng circumstances under which we labor. The columns of The Star are at all times open, and items of news or qualified opinion on any : subject of local interest are heartily ssflfliclbed. As a responsible medium, Rowever, The Star cannot undertake to publish without knowledge of its content any item submitted, although allowing the fullest latitude compatible with good taste, and assuring utmost fairness of ed torial judgment. CjUNDAY is Hallowe'en, and our- boys are no doubt expecting a Sunday School lecture; but they are not going to get it. For we want our boys to be boys; we who have been boys ourselves, and know what boys want to do; and, havhg become men, something of what they ought to do. We want them to know what We know now, that boyood is an apprenticeship for manhood, and manhood signifies all those qualities of adventure, and daring, and the desire for a thrill that makes a boy a boy. But having gone ahead a year or two, we know that these qualities in themselves are just so much material, plastic, dangerous, like fire, shall we say. And any boy's common sense has told him that f re is a whole lot more service when he's boss. Now don't get the idea that us older fellows are frying to hold ourselves up as models of what y°u ought to be. We are just a little disappo'nted in our. selves, just as our big brothers, talking just like this to us when we were your age, warned us we would he. We had our chance, and we did not make the most of it, and, just because we wouldn't listen to some of the th'ngs we are asking you to listen to now, We will never be quite the men we now would like to be, and if you fellows watch your step you are going to catch up with us, and pull ehead of us. But you'll have to fight for it, because we can hand out a pretty stiff body check ourselves, and you'll have to learn to go after what's worth gong after. Of course, we think you have a little better break than we had, but we don't grudge you that. Our dads handed us a better opportunity than was their's, and you'll be expected to do better yet when your turn comes. Just try to see it that way, from the stage you will he setting for the next gang, and remember, if you don't learn your lesson now, you're not only iett'ng yourselves down, and us, who have tried to make things easier for you, but also the fellow you're preparing the way for; and you'll feel that that's a pretty big responsibility, when the t'me comes. We do not have to tell you what to do and what Miners And Missionaries A SEVERE castigation of the miner has just been delivered to, and by public reversion by, the presumably responsible Home Missions Board of the baptist Church. It has been conventionally the thing to say of the miner that he is a rugged customer, and no angel, but these disappointed prelates have gone too far. At least, we presume they have, for although their judgment is directed to the Northern Ontario camps, it is qu te probable1 that it reflects on mining camps in general, and it is unfair of any minister of the gospel to villify a true and necessary servant of society who already makes a considerable sacrifice in the pursuit of a hard and dangerous calling. And while it is not likely .that the portal to the Kingdom of Heaven will be guarded by Baptist ministers, they should not be allowed to get away with it, for they are paid by publicly subscribed funds to save miners' souls, not to send them in disgust to old Beeziebub. We are, for instance, told that "sin truly abounds; the camp is a "modern Sodom and Gomorrah", full of satanic influences", and "men's hearts are hardened, and women's hearts are full of sin and iniquity of all kinds." "It is often said that the miner's heart is harder than the rock in which he drills, and 1 have found that to be true", says another disappointed salvation salesman who failed to make the grade, his words being broadcast to the corners of the earth. A most charitable Christian attitude, surely, and likely to win over a great many gruff but honest miners to the church, or what is far more important, [Continued on Page Five] -k- not to do on Sunday.

[ Continued from Page 2 ] to religion! And what is worse, it is mostly bunkum, as anyone who has lived and moved amongst miners, and still kept his sights fixed on a sane standard of moral values knows. It is true you will find weaknesses, some of them typical, among miners. And there i are some pretty low specimens in mining camps, let no one fight shy of that, even writing for miners, in defense of miners; but anyone who says in a blanket castigation that the miner's heart is irreciaimably hardened, and that he is a thoroughly wicked person is just making a nasty noise, and the mother of all the missionaries ought to wash his mouth out with soap and water, and send him out with an are or a shovel to earn an honest living. Not that we would cast a slur at ministers, or mining town missionaries. There are some real men of God in the church, and some princes of religion in mining camps: but those are not the men—and they really know the miner—who says such things as quoted above. He is the man who goes about the miners, knowing them, loving them, like Goldsmith's vicar, chiding their wanderings, but relieving the'r pain, try'ng each fond endearment "to tempt the new fledged offspring to the skies", "alluring to brighter worlds, and leading the way." The minster who talks like the fellows who have gotten their names in the paper is simply con. fessing that he has missed the' whole po nt of his calling, and he does more to defeat the object of religion than all'the evil forces that belay the honest, easy-going miner. To him religion looks very much like hypocr sy, culture a city slicker trying to get a corner of his pay-check; hence he pins his faith in simple pleasures and simple, genuine vices that he understands. But anyone who has been through a m'ning disaster would never say that the miner's heart is hard, or that there is no manhood in him. He is the very type that any real religion is looking for. The raw material is there; it is time the professors of religion realized where the real fault lies.

William Henley suffered an infirmity, and battled ibis way out of it with a series of challenges like In- victus, in which ,he even makes God run second to his own will, and when a fellow gets that way, there is apparently very little even God can do about it. Another writer-fellow got ill, a pawky Scot, and instead of defying the heavens, he magnified his infirmity thusly (quoting a letter from James Beattie to Hon. Charles Boyd, Aberdeen, 1766). "... I flatter myself that I shall soon get rid of this infirmity; nay, that I shall ere long 'be in the way of becoming a GREAT MAN. For have I not headaches, like Fope, vertigo 1 ke Swift? grey hairs like Homer. Do I not wear large shoes (for fear of corns) like Virgil? and sometimes complain of sore eyes, like Horace? Am I not at this writing vested with a gar- fent not less ragged than that of Socrates? Like Joseph the patriarch I am a dreamer of dreams; liks Nimrod the hunter I am an eminent builder of (castles in the air.) I procrastinate, like Caesar, and of late rode a lean old horse like Don Quixote. s! . -*■ Follow these future functions j I By The Star and avoid confusion j j and disapointment f* MM ^^.^^fc^^^M*. * ARMISTICE DANCE — Orange Hall, Princeton, Nov. 11..

PAGE SEVEN Nothing For Nothing & Compound Interest k [ Continued from Page One ] dreadful vale of iniquity. But let the dramatist tell her own story: Princeton, where he was in 19:1.2, was a wide-open town. The missionary received little encouragement from the miners and the people that gathered around the camp. Sunday after Sunday no one came to his services, but the Scotcih are not easily defeated. One Saturday the minister purchased the entire front page of the Princeton newspaper. When the paper appeared the streamer in large black capitals shrieked, "Princeton's Peculiar People," and in the columns beneath the man from Glasgow in no uncertain terms told the people of the town what he thought of them. That Sunday, and the following Sundays the church was filled. While :'n Princeton he wrote "PC d, ths Miners' Parson,"1 a novel in the Jack London manner which someday, when certain persons are dead or scattered to the ends of the earth, may be published." FRONT PAGE PUBLICITY Very simple, and very draraiat c. But not quite true. The Star does carry the intriguing announcement that the minister will speak on "Princeton's Peculiar People'' but there are no black streamers and no monopoly of front pages.

Thank You! «** On Monday, 25th October we celebrate our first anniversary. Just one year ago we pushed off into the uncertain sea of business, and, with fairness at . tbe helm and courage at the hawser, i sought the safe harbor of success—a goal which lies in the shelter of your goodwill and confidence. «*» The first miles have been careful miles—sure, rather than swift. As confidence grows with experience, you can rely on us to put out more canvas; but our course has been set; our judgment secured. ^ In the meantime, at this first retrospection, we take this opportunity to express our thanks and our pleasure in the many happy experiences we have enjoyed in your service in our" first year and look eagerly forward to the many to come as our ever-widening sphere of acquaintance embraces new friendships. Simpson's Grocery item appears in the issue of 31st January, 1912, and it is on the front page; but so is almost all the news. It is with the "locals", six I.'nes and a syllable, in six point hand set type (a size smaller than this). And even the title is wrong, for the fine chance at alliteration now embraced has been missed, and the subject announced is "Peculiar men .'n Princeton." The item falls between the Anglican notice (both of them probably free) and a brief account of a ladies' hockey game which was probably judicious. And the paper was published on Wed nssday, not Saturday, according to the. date line And, to quote the poet, "nothing besides remans—not a word in the following issue of the oratory that shook the foundations of Princeton and made it the pretty little Christian city that it is to-day. Nor have we been able to find anyone who recollects the sermon, .though they do recall the minster as a vigorous and self-confident speaker? jolly t hough outspoken, and not a bad fellow at all. PRINCETON THEN AS EVER And on the whole it is very much H be doubted if the sermon was the sensation it is sad to have been. While never a model town, Princeton had its services as soon as it had its saloons, and in 1912 was served by the Catholic, Methodist, Anglican and Presbyterian churches It was under the auspices of the last named that Mr. Craig appeared. He was a student missionary and arrived from Stewart about 27th September, 1911. He preached his "farewell" sermon 24th March- 1912. While those were the days of the open bar, there was not much- difference in the moral tenor of the town from to-day, old timers say, insisting, as always, that the old days, like the people who made them, "were better." Wh le the services were not overcrowded, old timers say, there was always a fair attendance, and it certainly could not be said that "Sandy" Simpson "Jock" Watson MEAT MARKET ON WHEELS FRESH AND CURED MEATS : PRODUCE : • PRINCETON— Parked by the Capitol Theatre Friday afternoon and Saturday. • ALLENBY—Thursday.

The .best game of the night was served up by Hedley senior men and Princeton Intermediate B's, tire gold-miners getting a real battle from the youngsters, many of whom played senior last year. Campbell and Kovich carried the mail. The senior game was a bit of a disappointment, with Princeton in erratic form, and failing to stand up to the system of the Interior champs, after taking an early lead.
