J This old topic was given a pew look when a party of Americans came un from Washington State and Iooksd over the drainage pattern here. But there was nothing official about their visit. They came as private citizens in their own interests—Khiefly fear of floods. On the other hand, these American go getters mean business and the situation itself spel's early action. . But international as well as local considerations are involved . Of recent years the Americans in the lower Columbia valley have been anxious during the spring runoff, and there has been some flooding Control involves the feeder streams on the British Co'umbia side. In the Arrow Lakes region major control works have be'n undertaken and a survey already imde in Similkameen. But while riparian works are subject to international convention, local interests affected have a voice. The American expedition was a "feeler." COMPLICATIONS It comprised 16 representative men from the Loomis-Tonasktt area. At Keremeos they conferred with Mr. H. E. Tweddle, local representative on the Ok- anagan Flood Control Committee At Princeton they met Messrs A D. Bronmfield and G. M. Har- nian, acting for_the Board of Trade. Flood control is also a factor in Simiikameen, with seasonal difficuUies from Princeton to" the international boundary. But irrigation and power supply also enter into local considerations, and the Princeton men sought to combine all three in one project. The Americans had a proposal for a dam on the Similkameen River near Nighthawk, about five mves below the boundary on the U.S. side- The Princeton men urged them to look farther up the valley,, where it is narrower < SjM. steeper, and no arable land "l^Hnvo'ved in the storage basin. They took them tr> Ihe Bak'r HiT canyon on Five M;Ie creek, Which enters the Similkameen about seven miles below Princeton; and to the R-d Buck Can- yen opposite Copper Mtn. OPPORTUNITIES Farther up the river the«gorge is even narrower and a considerable .head of water could be built up in a long canyon, with pessibisities for hydroelectric power — now piped to Similka- j. meen 500 miles from Bonning- ton. West Kootenay. i (There is also argument for a generating pjanlt at jPrinceton, using Princeton coal: 300,000,000 tons available. Power could be produced for less than lc a kilowatt, with inviting Coast and Okanagan as well as local markets. At the moment there is only one small prospect mine produc1 ing and coal both for domestic use and the Granbv power plant is imported from A'berta) Another possbilitv is gravity Tlomestic water supply for prince ton, now served by a local pump station. Above Princeton the trans provincial highway rides high above the Similkameen canyon and a harmonious project might well enhance an already fine view. The Americans are pressing their views and CongrEss is at grips with the whole Columbia ...val'ey problem Agitation for river control work in Similkameen is not new —in deed the beavers have been at it from time immemorial.

A survey was made of a route via Wolf Lake, which the engineers said was practical. It was also said the U.S. federal government was prepared to bear the expense—relatively small compared to some of their riparian projects. There has been no further development, but no sign that this sheme has been abandoned. An engineer, asked about the current report that they had failed to hit base rock, said this was so, but a dam at Brom'ey was nontheless feasible. Alternately, Dr. Dave Turner of the B.C. Lands Department, was here on a survey during the severe local floods of 1948. Both for flood contro' and for irrigation for the considerable Keremeos-Cawston fruit area some 45 miles below Princeton, he proposed to raise the level of Tulameen Lake as a. natural storage basin.

It is not enough to take our wares to Ketrameos. We will have to bring our Keremeos friends to our stores, our enteirtainnienits. We wil have to make them sufficiently attractive for them to come.

The world goes on on that basis, and that is government's job. They are caretakers, and it is up to (hem to get what they need to protect society and its property that sustains it and them; and taxation rates suggest that they do. Property is obviously the first charge—before propaganda or baby benefits A flood may be an act of God, but in this age flood damage is not.

It is up to us to use it. And' it can't be all one way. We have tk> take a very real and sincere initarest to the Lower Valley and its problems, remembering 'that they are ours. And, to repeat, here is our ibig chance. It is no^ a matter of quid pro quo, you scratch my back, I'M scratch yours. We are not merely doing this for our Lower Valley friends, but for ourselves, beoause the Cawston Benches are just as much a part of our economic en'tity as a Princeton colliery. • • • And long ago when they' gazed yearninglLy at those barren helpless Cawston Benches, true friends of the Sirnitka- meen, with true appreciation of their own' besti interests, visualized it not as banreni waste, 'but teeming fipuitlahid, in true conception of Similkameen as a wholej with the Hope Highway and' the ValHey iihik up the old G.N. right of way that 'leads to Princeton' and' mutual prosperity. We have always had such" men in our Valley, and whether they planted their own roots in Brookmere or Caws- tani, they realized that the soil was Similkameen'; that 'the same river system that gave its placers to Coalmont also made the Cawston Benches, borrowing, indeed, silt from those same placer reaches; that .the water that made the difference between teeming orchard and bajrreni bench Ukewise came from above. That, to short and in full, we were conceived in Nature's plan as a unit, and that if our (Fiaflja Nineteen Please). dares to advocate good government. Now it is not wisdom to scold the caretaker when the house is on fire and most of us who want —and all who deserve—good gov ernment are aye ready to bear and share in emergency. But it is equally childish for the caretaker to excuse that it is not his i fault that fire burns—which is in just the same logic as govern nen'.'s retort that they are not responsible for the weather. Of course not, though science may yet change that too.A ma- ficient economy is government's own job. The flood crisis is nothing new . It is becoming an annual event !

Our first message was on that theme, our first act to broaden our title to The Similkameen Stair, a Community Paper. And in afll pars of our Valley, its true friends have been our friends, builders of empire together. But we have never bad enough and we can never have enough until we h£.ve roused the last sluggish soul to the thejne of vaEey unity, holding thereby the fcej to his owm derivative success. For, tight thinking, we would aM be friends ,and each succeed through the other's success in the full frui'is of our common heritage, this emibryo empire of ours.

And we have invested in mental and moral values too. In personal effort and to the policy and practice of The Star, we have never failed to work for any project that would' contaibu'ie to the theme of VaHey progress as a whole, regardless of what sectioni might benefit masr.! directly. We plugged undespaiirtog for that Hope Highway, and ^ did' not wai'j "for miracles or words—but works—to move mountains. Our files are a testament of our words and our works, in oneness. Our greatest regiret is the lapsing, of one of our best wo:tks — the old Associated Boards of Trade of Siimilika- meen. It setrved the dual purpose of keeping alive and alert a local board in each area of lour iQammuni'ty and of giving a common voice, a common strength, it did goad work; we need ft more than ever. Local boards at Keremeos, Hedley, Cawston,. Coalmont- Blakeburn - Tulameen and ' Princeton each sent delegates to quarterly meetings alternating between . the various towns. The annual public banquet, also rota'tog, was a splendid means of bringing people together from all parts of Similkameen' at least once a year, and was the best means ever conceived of emphasizing to the outside world .the importance and determination and oneness of purpose of .Similkameen. It was surprising and flat- ertag how many important outside visi'iors we attracted, and few- whom we asked to address us ever turned us down. We could be doing with that again. Though Princeton has progressed, and other parts of our Valley—notably KJereniBos- we have more need ■tfcirmi ever to sell the. varied fctuits of our progress to the outside world. I And we need those local boards again. Even to those parts of our Valley „tha,t have j fallen on evil days, we need j hem more than ever. Princeton needs them, and so does Princeton Board of Trade They are props to our- progress. And their need is vital to every person in Similkameen. Whelier he is alive to comimiunity oneness or not. And we need the Associated Boards and the annual banquet again, and tttiiB time, overflying technicalities, there should be a place, for repres- enitatiiveis linom Copper Mto. and AUenby, and any other 'integral VaHey interest, regardless of its siae or status. And eudh individual has an inevitable cole' in this natural initerdepandenipe of part and whale, *hls iffefatual empire.

When a government se'ls land and collects revenue from It, it is res- onsible for g.wingf protect'on against exactly similar natural laws The men who take nay for that responsbility should pay for it, not by a tax levy—partly on the victims, but out of their own pockets. Indeed 'hat sound just principle should be app'icd generally.

Piles are being driven at Tulameen take. This lake is about three miles long, narrow but deep, fed from Otter valley. The level will be raised only a foot or two and little or no property will be af- ccted. It is a popular local pleasure resort. Though two vears ago both these projects wefe being explored about the same time, one by Biuish Columbia and the other by Ottawa agents, and though "international waterways and a provincialty owned road were involved, neither official interviewed had heard about the other project. Start of the Tulameen work indicates a correlation of provincial, federal and perhaps US. views, and possibly some progress in the general Similkameen riparian plan. iVieanwhile under the so.dicr- settltment plan reclamation of Some '100,5)90 acres of Cawston Benches land is now nearing completion, to be irrigated from the Similkameen river. This should be settled next year, and the Tulameen Lake project is logically linked. It wil' not. however, solve the flood problem either here or over the border.. There would of course be some local controversy over any major riparian work, and specualative land grabbing. But the whole thing is still too indefinite for much of either yet. But some major river work here is certain soon.

It makes its service of truth available to all, the same for all. Unfler our cusodianship this conception of pure journalism has never varied: we have eonsistenly declined partisan af- fiations and invitations to join newspaper associations, in the commercial concept, these invitations still open. They do not satisfy our standard of journalism in your service; and there are many good legitimite newspapermen who agree, who deplore the surrender of the Press to commercial expediency. With good|newspapermen yours enjoys an envied rating Journalism has n|oi place for either expediency or bureaucracy Truth and the ultimate possible service of the Press to the community it serves, is without apology our concept of the eligibility of a newpaper. We invite comparisons in qualifications* in the tools of our craft, in out sincerity, for eligibility In that vital' role.' Since 1900 — the begining of modern Similkameen—this news paper has held that vested trust, It has contributed to the community progress on which commercial journalism is keen to capitalize. There is no competition' in the commodity in which we strive to give ultimate value. We invito. comparisons in competing values — real or icom- mercial; re-iterating our .standing pledge to cheerfully surrender our custodianship to a better servants—which has never been token up. We invite comparisons in values. In tools, in qualifications in sincerity. x x • Our case is that no better concept of journalism can be devised and we are not to be lured or limited. We have the strongest j possible affiliation — that of aU I true men. It has proved its val- I ue in good days and bad. Truth ! always does. No one regrets more that ideal afiialition cannot be practical too but materialism blights the sacred trust of-this profession. The more, then- is surrender treafliery.

'• ub slituting sheer' commercial affiliations, and the public has b:en careless of its greatest free- j dom, worse than Hitlers, the ap- I oihesis of journalists- have come j to dominate the Press, and :he little man has ap. d their success. Commercialism dominates I this profession, clutters it with ' leaches and brokers and racketeers- dominated by the business office or the bis boss. It is com- I merualism that would dictate | the standards of your paper and j to you Do you value that above truth? That is the issue. Our policy cannot change; we question that it can be improved Through 20 years we have] constantly striven to improve the attributes of service, for the ul- ! timate in service in the long run This has meant temporary sacrifices which we have reluctantly had to share on you. Through a | more urgent service there are t still difficulties to be overcome before we can do justice to your faith or our aims. Our efforts therein and our progress thereto are open to examination. Nor while regretting that our service has been thus limiteid, have we excuse o<r apology; we have done our best, aU possible in our concept of ultimate service. That in spite of disappointments our status is unchallenged is proof of its security in Similkameen — and tribute to you* Whom we serve. From the expedient in the profession as in the community we have had the inevitable reaction, but true value does not fail in commercial value and no other service anywhere can touch our rates or excel our value. And the commercial too, local and I national, know best value. . We have bona fide subscribers and more, your newspaper is | available to all, whether they pay [ or not, and its coverage of anfl influence in Similkameen is un- Livalled; its status in the essentials of a true newspaper, which rest with public choice and not commercial bureaucracy. In this vital sense your newspaper has maintained Us status, and no bureau jracy is going to prose: ibe that service to you all. With the ultimate in mind it has sacrificed much, deferred much: It will not be deterred in its aim—to give the utmost at the earliest, and on schedule, but in the fullest value of journalistic service, in no expediency that schedule is more important than truth, or, with profit, the ultimate in service. | We know in the long run what pays best. Then, as when we j KmMkmmz f easily satisfied flimsy conventions I before, we shall continue to shun ! affiliations which restrict our ! true function. We give you much your loyalty, in the need in our mission to serve you, of your support, we shall give much more yet. Do not be tempted, or doubt more now; but in gratitude to that we shall be.
