On April 22 to May 15, 1915, was fought one of
the greatest battles in the annals of British history.
The second battle of Ypres, when-in the First Cana-
adian Division, C. E. F., ��� mblazontd the name of
Canada upon the walls of fame, by holding tbe nitst
line, against overwhelming odds, until Bueh time as
sufficiept Imperials, many of whim were rushed up
straight from the traneports that had brought them
from England, pitched headlong into the hell of gas,
shell, and rifle fire that raged for days in front of
Ypres.
Seven years ago today, as the long lists of names
of those who were killed, and the horrors of the uas
ticked over the wiies spreading, as it were, a blanket
of gloom from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Canada
for the first time felt the real 'shock of war. A
writer in the Trail News says of the battle :
Imskrman long know i aa a "soldier's battle" - i eed be no

may do when leadership bj those appointed to that task has

Betty is one of Stewart's real
little ladies, and the News wishes
her many happy returns, and
hopes that her pathway through
the wilderness of coming years
will be paved with roses and no
thorn will lurk beneath her feet.
S. P. Fitzgerald came down
from the Independence group,
Bear river, Wednesday, and reports that work on the property,
owned by himself and brother,
is progressing very well indeed,
and to use Jack's description,
the work done since they went
up makes the property "look

Mining operations have started
on the Marmot this week; several
people  having already left for
their properties, and others preparing to do so.    All those having property in that section  are
very hopeful of the coming year,
as word has come from the south
recently  to   the effect that the
department   of   mines has promised to build during the coming
summer   the   long   looked    for
wagon read from the beach  up
to tbe fortes.    Such a road  will
be of great benefit to the whole
district as it will give tremendous
impetus to the  mining industry
in that section, where there are
a number of verv promising properties, the development of which
cannot but be reflected throughout the entire district.
Clay Porter and George Mehlfeld left for the Marmot on Wednesday, and will commence taking in their summer's supplies.
It is their intention to do considerable work on th^ir property
this season and to. if possihlp,
make a few shipments of high
j grade orp.
H. C. Magee left on Thursday,
I and fms started moving his sea-
| son's supplies in from the beach,
iin preparation for an extensive
[development program on the
Patricia group, in which he is in-

Vancouvpr.
Cporge Punn has a nice  pro-

engineer has been engaged to investigate
the engineering features of the Pacific
Great Eastern railway and to report upon
this phase of the system generally. Another expert will deal with existing and
prospective traffic possibilities, and submit his report. With this information���
collected without regard for political considerations of any kind���the legislature
should be in a position to determine what
shall be the policy of the future. Its present knowledge of this gigantic obligation

Service For The Thrifty
Thrift is a habit that should be cultivated
not merely to make provision for the future, but because of a desire for advancement and full achievement, and for die
sturdy independence, the happiness and
the contentment that it brings.
The Bank of Montreal cooperates with
the thrifty by means of a Savings Department in every one of its Branches throughout Canada. In this Department a Savings Account may be started with any sum
from One Dollar upwards. Interest at
highest current rates is paid on all savings
deposits.

The Horn Silver mine in Moti-I
tana was discovered by two men
running a race. These men were
working in a silver mine, and the
trail that led up from the bunk-
house to the mine was a switchback trail. One day two men
started a race, when the whistle
blew at noon, to see who 'would
reach the bunkhouse first.    One
fellow took a short cut, leaving
the trail and going down the hill
in great leaps. In one of his
wild jumps his feet started a
small slide of earth and uncovered a small vein of silver ore.
This find was off the company's
ground, and the man located the
ground for himself, worked for
a time, then sold out to his previous employer for a large sum.

It is not often that a bear figures in the discovery of a mine,
but suoh was the case once in the
Kootenay. Two young Englishmen, prospecting on a creek one
summer, ran into an old black
bear with cubs. The old bear
made quite a fuss and one of the
Englishmen beat it down the hill,
and the other sprang into a small
tree overhanging the side of the
creek bank. The bear went on
about her business, but the
weight of the Englishman in the
tree bent it down so that it was
torn out by the roots, letting him
drop into the brush. The uprooting of this tree uncovered a
valuable vein of galena. This
mine was afterwards known as
the "Black Bear." and was sold
for several thousand dollars to
Spokane interest?.

A brief for the establishment
of an iron and steel industry in
1 the Prince Rupert section was
presented in a comprehensive report submitted to the board of
trade at its last meeting in that
Lity by Alfred Garde, mining
engineer. The report was prepared especially by the board
and is a most interesting document, well calculated to interest
capitalists in the establishment
of an iron and steel industry in
the Rupert district.
Mr. Garde shows that high
grade magnetite and hematite
iron ores are plentiful, that there
are large areas of bituminous
coking coal nearby, that there
are pure limestones ar.d other
fluxes in abundance, that fire
clay and hydro-magnesite occur

in large quantities and that other
materials are easily obtainable.
He deals with location, transportation, climatic conditions,
ami closes with the sentence:
"It is the writer's opinion and
firm conviction that iron, now the
most neglected and at the same
time the most abundant of metals
i of this north country, will soon
command the attention it justly
deserves."
Some Rock
Seventy-five per cent of British Columbia is rock and we
must look to that rock for our
future existence. If the minerals are not found, the future has
an ugly outlook for us. Our condition here is no worse than in
other parts of the continent.
Nearly all the c ipper mines have
been closed down owing to the
surplus amount of the metal on
the market due to world wide
conditions and use of substitutes
for domestic purposes.

SPRING   FEVER
I want to plant a garden now that Spring is here,
I want to watch the carrots and little beets appear;
I want to gather radishes and salad lettuce, too.
And invite my envious neighbors to come and pick some, too.
I crave some Golden Bantam, like in the wondrous book
Sent out by florists every year���how good the green things look!
I want to raise cucumbers, and Hubbard squash and beans,
And cabbages and Brussels sprouts and canteloupes and greens,
And young green peas and eggplants and succulent Swiss chard,
And pumpkin'vines, with golden flowers to trail around the yard;
I want to plant a garden, now that Spring is here!
And I might do it, too, if I hadn't tried last year.

he failed to do the right thing by

even though you plaster your

smoke cigarettes, and fail to
