Bad Accident Just before noon last Sunday a log fell on Alex Gallagher, who was helping to build a house at Thirteen-mile for Mrs. Anna Paul, breaking his right leg below the knee and two of his lower ribs on the left side. The leg fracture is compound and is pronounced by Dr. Rogers, who attended the case, as being of a very serious nature. When Gallagher was pickid up the bones protruded through his clothing and he lost a considerable amount of blood besides suffering excruciating pain until he could be brought to town for treatment. Owing to the rough condition of the road it was impossible to bring him down by team, and volunteers carried him the entire distance on an improvised stretcher, which was an arduous task, as the victim is a heavy man. Bringing him down consumed the whole of Monday. He was left overnight at the home of Albert Mayer, in charge of Mrs. Mayer, who is a graduate nurse, and on Tuesday was taken to Rupert on the Carmen, Dr. Rogers accompanying him.

No Advertising Aecepted for First Page WIDE OF THE MARK IF George Bernard Shaw would confine himself to Iiteratnre and the drama instead of permitting his native wit and undisputed cleverness to run amok on subjects of which his knowledge is woefully limited he would not have been guilty of the suggestion that Lloyd George has expressly committed himself to bring Great Britain into war with the United States. No better rebuke could have been administered than that of Henry Arthur . Jones whose eminence in the dramatic and literary world has not impaired the clarity of his vision. Of Shaw's outburst he says in part as follows: If there is any American, who, from ignorance of the habitual, confirmed ineradicable English feeling toward America, is likely to be deluded by Mr. Shaw's latest and grossest attacks upon the country that too long has harbored him and has basely submitted to be jeered at and spat upon by him: if there is an American who is likely to lend a a moment's credence to Mr. Shaw's foul and crazy assertion, I assure him with the utmost confidence that under no conceivable circumstances could my countrymen be persuaded or cajoled or duped or forced to load a single bullet against America. It is a stark impossibility. I have no doubt that accredited leaders of American thought and feeling will reply to this criminal anarchy that, if it took two years to bring pease-loving Americans against all their nafional traditions and national policy into war with Germany, it will take two thousand years to bring them into war with England. Mr. Shaw invariably makes a mistake when he begins to talk politics. In his own country he is a prophet without honor. He is a triumph in originality; but his genius for mischief may be misunderstood by an element in the United States which has made rapid strides towards a correct understanding of the British people after years of suspicion. Happily for the good of the two countries the great bulk of the American people as well is its press take Mr. Shaw with a large grain of salt. Antipodean statesmen as well as prominent Canadian will be warmly welcome^ jby President Harding. He recognized at the mtset that this country and the Australasian continent have a particular and vital interest in Pacific problems and the interwoven question of armaments. It has been argued in some quarters that a consolidation of Empire opinion took place at the recent conference in London; but it must be remembered that the forthcoming gathering will produce angles of international relationships which will have to be dealt with on their merits and in accordance with the process of adjustment which the conference may see fit to apply. No understanding reached between the Prime Ministers of the Empire in London may be regarded as anything like a stereotyped formula for use in discussions whose course no preliminary debate could possibly define. Nothing short of direct representation from each unit of the Empire���or such grouped representation as geographical or racial considerations dictate���will guarantee that necessary prompting and advice without which the delegation from London would find itself seriously handicapped in dealing with those items in the agenda which concern Canada and Australasia more intimately than the Motherland. While these reasons are obvious to the Governments of the countries concerned it is also to be hoped that each official delegate will be supplied with an entourage of experts whose additional support may be required as the business of the conference progresses. By following this course the British government will simplify its own part, guarantee the production of a real empire opinion on all counts, and assure the host nation a more intelligent measure of support in connection with Pacific problems.

ENGINEER MINE SPIT COMMENCED Trial of the Famous Dispute Over One of the Most Valuable Gold Properties in Atlin Salmon River Trading Co'y Trial of the famous dispute concerning the Engineer mine, one of the most valuable gold properties in the Atlin country commenced in Vancouver last week. Witnesses are on hand from Atlin and Alaska, and also from Philadelphia and New York. The plaintiff's case was opened by S. S. Taylor, K. C., senior council. According to him Captain James Alexander, whose successors and heirs are the defendants, was guilty of claim jumping. Alexander, said council, was a man of no means, and from knowledge acquired in 1905 when he was employed as chain- man on the party which surveyed the claims, awaited the opportunity to step in and acquire them for himself. This occured STEWART PHARMACY GEOKGE A. FRASER Proprietor F. C. LAWRENCE OPTICIAN WATCHMAKER JEWELER them alone of the ground surmounting the Engineer mine. The place had been deserted for some time, although the stamp mill, buildings and machinery were still there. Alexander and his friend staked the most valuable claims, and returning to Atlin filed evidence of this in the office of the mining recorder. Alexander soon after arranged with W. Pollard Grant, Vancouver attorney, to fight all contestants who might question his title on the understanding that Grant would have a fifth interest in the mine. Later he was squeezed out by his associate. Funds for operating the mine were secured from Allen I. Smith of Philadelphia.

Passengers on trains drawn by them may be a little nervous at first lest they show the flyvver disposition to jump the track and climb the telegraph poles. Seventy thousand grain cars were distributed through the agricultural areas of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta for the initial movement of the season's crop. the deposits is that they are being constantly fed from below by a brine which is forced to the surface from surrounding rock sources. Aided by evaporation, the brine crystallizes into salt, which is harvested much as ice is taken from lake or river. Underneath the deposit continued to great depth. In some instances borings have been sunk for forty feet without reaching the limit of the salt. **a*\f- ���>* ���* �� mratftoma fe?S_ia ^"1 i rmy ji mn n n t j urmtrio i kski m Subscribe for PortlandCanal News.
