A'\ BRANCH OF PATRIOTIC FUND FORMED) IN FERNIE tt I? it A^out 20 citizens were present on Wednesday evening in the City Halt when the Mayor opened the proceedings by remarking that they were there that evening to get the DlBtrlct Branch of-the Patriotic Fund Btarted. He understood that they would have to take In the whole district, and he called upon the meeting to nominate Officers to fill the various positions. The first business was the election of a president, and the 'Mayor, was promptly "nominated. Mr, Gates, however, appeared; trom his .remarks diffident of the honors ' that the position contained, and it was suggested that iMr. W. R. Wilson, general .manager of the Ooal Com-pany, -might be persuaded to take the Job on. Mr. Wilson, upon being asked over the phone, .was understood to express appreciation of the .honor to be conferred,, but regretted that business-necessitated considerable absence from town, and consequently he did not think he could do the position justloe. A suggestion was put forth by 'Mr. G. G. Moflfabt that the mayor be ex .officio president of the fund, and this 'was eventually agreed to. The position of vice-president brought. out tbe name of .Mr. E. K. Stewart, and ihe was unanimously sefleoted for the position, ^e-^*fl*De-of-^ecre4ar-y^0urid-a'*cfop- of polite refusals, but It was eventual- ly decided to pi-ace the names of three gentlemen, Messrs. R. Dudley. A. M. Owen and W. M. Walker wp for ballot, the elected to accept the position. (Mr. W..M. Walker (manager of P. Burns) was a popular winner for this position. A. il. Owen, manager of the Imper-i ial Bank, was next elected to fill the' position of treasurer. The officers having been selected, considerable discussion arose at to the number and personnel ot the various committees, and at one time it was feared that we ahould have every clttxen in the room elected upon one of the suggested committees. Evidently the mayor anticipates Btrenuout work for this branch, In spite of the fjaet tlmt so far as is known at present, we have only half a dozen families dependant on tbe fund. R. Dudley eventually came to the rescue with a motion *tba* the executive committee consist of eight members and the of* fleers. Those chosen as thc cxcni- tlve committee, and from which the other committees will be formed, are aa toHows: Messrs. A, B, Trites,, 8, Herohmer, W. Reading. R. Dudley, P. C. La we, J. P. Macdonald. J. Rogers F. Dubtr. ond W, Rudlnskl. . It waa explained by the (Mayor that the money collected tor tba Patriotic Fund would ba placed In a local bank to be drawn for relief upon receipt of authority Onom Victoria. Considerable dUcuaton arose ee to whit action would ba taken to relieve tba distress tbat threatened tb* town, and Wr. A. £. Trites got in •om* r**d common sense talk aa to th* necetsity of not overlooking thia. He reminded those preaent that It the mines continued to work at at present eoneidtrabl* strtln would ba «lactd apon th* ptopl* of th* town la relieving dlstrtss, and as tbla dtatraat waa mort or Ita indiiwetly earned by tha war, ba did not want tbem to last sight ot tht ttrtousntts of tb* altuttloa If things e©ntlno*d as thay were tor aay ttagth of tta*. Tb* Mayor atated thtt tht govern- aaat woald lak* ear* af all oaaea oot- tide tha city, wbll* th* eity. aolherit- tea wootd look after men of dtstrtaa In (She eity. Ha evidently did not an. tletptt* any atriott Iroabla ia aaat* men should keep the temperature down, got 'both hot and eloquent, over the sacrifices of those who had gone to the front, and expressed! the opinion that the suffering of a family with a dependant at .the front would he far greater than that of a family whose breadwinner had no Job and no money with whioh to purchase the necessities for hie family. While one cannot attempt to minimize the anguish and uncertainty of a family with a dependant at the front, nevertheless Mr, McDougall's arguments were not very logical. The cheery smile and gentle caress are not propagated by an empty stomach, and while those mho go to the front have the practical assurance that their little ones will be cared for, the army' that keeips the man at the front has no suoh assurance. At the close of the meeting the executive met and discussed plans, tor relief, etc. >Mr. George O'Brien' made an important announcement during the course of the evening, which . conclusively proves that there are eome men In this town who thoroughly appreciate the distress tbat already exists and threatens. Mr. O'Brien informed the meeting, that Mr. Millar, of tbe Isis Theatre, "was forming a symphony orchestra that™would-jfirrange to give concerts every Sunday, after church hours, and contribute all monies collected to relieving the most necessitous cases of distress in the city, or pasB same on to the Ladies' Benevolent Society to handle. . The suggestion was greeted -with much approval j by those present. RIGHTS OF ALIENS An application was made by the solicitors for the Crow's Nest Pass Ooal Company, which was heard last 'Friday morning at Victoria before -Mr. Justice Gregory, to set aside the notice of trial and other papers ln the action of Topay? vs. Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company, and the application was dismissed. The ground on which the application was made was that Topay, the plaintiff, is an Austrian citizen and an enemy ot Great Britain and her colonies. A wire was received by Messrs. Mac- neil & -Banwell, -solicitors tor the plaintiff, from H. A. MoLean, K.C., of Victoria, .stating that the application was dismissed because under an order-in- Council passed by the Dominion Parliament on August 22nd, to tiie elf- feet that all'German or Austrian citizens of Canada enjoy the protection of th© law so long as they quietly pursue their ordinary avocations and unless there lis reasonable ground to Relieve that they are engaged in espionagde or attempting to engage in service ot a German or Austrian nature, or to give Information to the enemy. It will be recollected by most of our readers that Topay was seriously In. jured at Michel last June, and negligence oa the part of the defendant company Is alleged. THE PATRIOTIC BALL JOCK McLETGHIE DIES SUDDENLY The Grand Patriotic Ball held on Thanksgiving Night in Victoria Hall was a succesa-r-lt wat more than that, it waa an achievement for those responsible tor the management The crowd came from all over the district —•Michel, Elko, Waldo, Coleman, while even poor, defunct Hoamer added its quota to the gathering. All told some (Ive hundred people crowded Into the hall; and It was crowded, but those present took the Jostling In good part, and at no time during the evening was thore any let up la the fun and frolic, The refreshment committee, as toon at It was realised that a great crowd had to be fed, immediately organized a commissariat emergency corps, and scouts were despatched to the various caterort In town commandeering all eatables. The scouts succeede.1 In corralling til the getatable eatables tnd the situation wat eaved.

Medical assistance was immediately secured, and Dr. Workman made heroic efforts to safe Mc- Letchle't life. For an hour deceased struggled against the Belzure, but eventually succumbed.

The extent of the unemployment, according to the delegatess, has not <been fully realized by the public. One dele-- gate estimated that there were 8,000 out-of-works in Edmonton alone, while President Pearson, of the Calgary Typographical Union, declared the unemployed In this city (Calgary) numbered well over 12,000. The need of prompt measures ,of re- lief, and the alleged slowness of both the provincial and the Dominion gov- ernments to take any action, brought forth sharp comment from many of those present, who compared this inaction with the general eagerness witih which the patriotic fund and the Hinds for the relief of the Belgians have been taken up. Poverty Is Rampant "Poverty is more rampant than over before," exclaimed Delegate David Rees. in speaking on this question. It Is a Dominion-wide problem. With the cry of hungry little children hoard on every hand, tt would not be surprising should grave disorder break out this winter. Tho condition ts so terrible and widespread that the government must Intervene, The Dominion and provincial authorities teem to be crasy about raising funds to kill off Germans. What we want to do Is to make them equally crasy to pro* serve their people from stravatlon. T-hcrr sd», t h#lf«>v<«, ample *upp!!<>*' for everyone In the stores and ware, houses of Canada, and we must send our executive to Edmonton at once, to tee that something be done. If they can't do anything there, the Dominion government must, or the greateat social catastrophe In Canada's history will occur." These remarks wer* received with loud and prolonged Jtppkua* on the part of th* delegate*. Conditions Are Went i. 1).

It* had no rfrwiht bt**r*r*r tbat tbe Federal Government wonM do *iut m louid, out bt believed tt would need the help of th* province! and the organization*. the government for aid for the unemployed was like appealing to some irresponsive brass god. However, he believed that the government would be forced to grant concessions to the workers to avoid serious riots - this winter. "From next Saturday onward we shall be up against it In Fernie,'' he exclaimed. "We shall need aid at once. The stores are shutting down on credits, and either relief must come or a calamity." Appeal to Authorities, A resolution as follows was then passed: "RESOLVED, that we instruct our executive committee to take up this question immediately upon adjournment of this convention. It can be immediately pointed out to both provincial and Dominion governments that the present general statistics warrant the government taking definite action at once to relieve distress; and further, that the various .bodies of organized labor gather statistics re the unemployed army, along similar lines to our fellow unionists on the Pacific coast." A recommendation of the eomlmlee on officers' reports, urging the grant-, ing of power to the executive to appoint a mnn to watch legislation at" JgdaMffltfllL-Jgaa adopted. —°- Labor Statistics Another, urging the collection of labor statistics, to he presented at the next session of the convention, was also passed, a* were the reports of the various officers. The following fecommendadons of the executive were approved by the delpRntes: Legislation to protect the interests of the electrical workers. Establishment of a bureau of labor.

The gentleman in question stated that he had great admiration for the thrifty man, but when asked if he had ever attempted to put his principles to practical use while in 'business, promptly stated "that 'it would not be good business!" This, we fear is the way most of us view the matter, but we must not lose sjght of the fact that it would be a sorry matter indeed for the tradesmen of this city if the miners of this town were suddenly smitten with a desire to save. Quite half of the hotels in town would be closed, while every other source of amusement or recreation would suffer In proportion.) r The employes in a large departmental store had had a banquet given to them through the munificence of the •boss the previous week, in the interim, as a result of the unselfish suggestions made regarding the beauties of 'Thrift and doing business ln strict accordance with Christian principles" they had decided to put these plans into effect. '.Monday morning (wife of Working Iran enters the store, and the clerk greets her smilingly, and with a cheery "Good morning, Mrs. Blank, what can I do for you?" Awaits the reply) Wife of Working Man: I wish to buy three cartons of "Snowflakes." Clerk: .My good woman, I know that your husband has not heen working steadily lately and as an expert in the respective values of foodstuffs let me advise you not to buy these when there is far more nutritive qualities in whole wheat. We have on hand several "bushels of the finest wheat ever grown in Manitoba, and if you will buy this, soak it well in boiling water, put in a little salt, then pour hot milk over it, sweeten to suit the taste, you will have a breakfast meal that is healthy and cheap. If you insist upon taking the prepared cereal, of course, 1 am ■willing to sell to you, because we have a large supply on hand. The profit obtained from the sale of cereals is for larger than from the raw wheat. Wife of Working Man: Your suggestion is a very good one, and as we have bought some wheat for the chickens, I will pick out the heaviest grains and make what I -believe I have teardjny mother call 'JfrumettvJ! (Customer walks over to the white goods counter.) Wife of Working Man: "How do you do, Mr. Linens? I have had a very pleasant conversation with Groceries. , who gave me some very useful information on how to make a cheap and wholesome breakfast food." Linens; Yes; we have forme'', a "Welfare of our Patrons Club." Xow, what cnn I do for you? Wife of Working Man: I should like to buy. some underwear for ir.y husband and children. Linens; Here we have nn excellent ■fee of those undergarments, but as I L-ellevo that you are anxious to save ov*»ty cent thesp hard timet*. 1 will Rlv«j you some advice that may be of benefit to you: Do you keep your flour packs? Have you a sewing machine? Wife of Working Mnn ( vlth puzzled expression): Why, yes; I have, Linens: Then wash the sacks thoroughly, then when you have done that, call at my house and my wife will loan you « copy of the "Parmer's Friend." in which there are paper patterns and full Instructions how to cut out and make the garments required; these you can easily- make up on your sewing machine. Wife of Working Man; Thanks very, much; I'll do that. Now, will you show me some of your' cheap comforters, as winter is coming on and we need something for bed covering? Linens: Oh, please step over to our blanket department Wife of i Working Man Cat Blanket Department): I'd like to look at some cheaip comforters, please. Blankets: Oh! here you are, Mrs. Blank, these are "splendid value at $3.f>0, but we are clearing them out at $2.23. Wife of Working IMan (examining them): 1 like this color, but, say, are you a memiber of the Welfare of our Patrons club? Blankets (proudly pointing to a out- ton "with a monogram ln his buttonhole) : Of course, and that's why I'm calling your attention to the special In comforters. Wife of Working Man: Oh, yes; but have you no other suggestions to offer. B. (In a meditative attitude): Yes, yes! Can you get any old gunny sacks? W. of W. M.: To be sure; there are quite a lot in the empty barn at the back of our house that I was going to burn up. B,: Then its' a good job you have not. Cut these gunny sacks in two; soak them well In hot water, using a cheap washing powder, and after they have been dried sew them together, making two single coverings, or half sheets. It takes about two sets o'f twelve. Now stitch the two coverings together so that they form a big bag or sack. Ask the manager in the furniture department to let you have some "Excelsior," sufficient to fill lt nicely, and you will have a comforter that for warmth, if not appearance, ie equal to these I have just shown you. AV. of W. M.: Good morning; I'll call upon the manager of the Furniture Department now. Manager of Furniture Dept: What do you wish Mrs. Blank? Mrs. B]ank:I have come to ask you if you will give me some "Excelsior." Manager: With pleasure. You live in the Annex, do you not? Oh, I'll let the teamster take it doWn for you this aBternoon, as he has nothing else to do after 3 o'clock. Is there anything else you need? •TJiSnk IMrs" : What klmFoFplcture you? Here are some; but what frames have Manager: size do you require? Mrs. B.: 12 x 20. How much Is that one? (Pointing.) Manager: That's rather expensive, and I hope you will accept my suggestion in the spirit it Is offered; here we have some plain mouldings that your husband oan easily put together, and save you money; or perhaps, better still, let me-advlse you not to buy a frame nt nil, because that is not really necessary during the present hard times, aB the money would buy something that you can eat or wear. .Mrs. B.: I'll put this off until timet Imiprove, or perhaps later on I may be able to buy one secondhand, as there ls nn auction tale doming off early next month of one of my neighbors, who ts being sold up for debt, Manager' (sympathetically); Yes, Mrs. Blank, the proprietor, Mr. Qrflbb, was giving us a little sp«ech otouv banquet the other day upon the virtue of "Thrift." and do you know he told us of a caso where a miner Insisted upon having the very best of ererj»- thing and spent all his money every ISEEISiaJMfSI5Ji3JBM^J3J3Mi3J3M3Ji3Ii3 month. The proprietor said he had a whole lot of respect for the thriEfcy worker and we are working this little stunt to surprise him, and I feel confident when he realizes how we are carrying out his principles <he Will have a whole lot of respect for us,' (Just then the automobile of Mr. Grabb's drives up, and the clerk proudly calls Mrs Blank's attention to same) "The very best car in town, Mrs. B. without a doubt, and that is why^we like .Mr. Grabb so; he will have the 'best." (Something almost resembling a smile is seen to hover around Jlrs. B.'s lips, but in the rather uncertain light it is difficult to ascertain the exact expression.) \ (Next day) Husband of Mrs. Blank enters shoe department— How do you do? What are you after today? .Husband of Mrs. B.: I'd Uke to look at a pair of slippers, size 9. Clerk: Here's a serviceable tpalr for $1.50. But, say, what do you do with your shoes when they are past wearing outdoors? Husband: Why, I usually throw them away. , Clerk (in mildly reproving tone): That's one of the fallings of you wording men; you never seen to study "thrift." Instead of buying thesa slippers, look around the house, see if you cannot find a pair of your old, light weight shoes that are not fit to wear outside -but will answer right.jenough 'for indoors. Husband: I'll be A" (This word was not "hanged") That's quite a tftunt. Clerk: Oh, you see we are running this "business on the "Welfore of our Patrons" principle. Husband: AXgll, that'll save -roe a $1.50 anyway. Have, a cigar? Clerk: Thank you, I don't smoke,* aad If you'll take a tip from me .you'll cut it out; at least cut out cigars unless they are given to you .by sonie- ,body who can afford this expense. Mind you,! know a man must have some pleasures, still you can buy *.he ehe*ap Quebec tobacco, have a pli.o thrown in with it, and it is every bit as pleasant tasting as any other, because I smoked some last week when the bartenders gave a smoker- Husband: How's that; do . you drink? .Clerk; No, I don't; Tmt you see I'm flreMdent-^of-the-'W'elfere-of-ouHPat of Clerk how Xorxg this line of talk has been going on; Ana when informed!

An international feud has has developed among the professors in the universities. "The still air of delightful studies" is rent with the objurations and maledictions of Haeckel and Eucken agalnat England and of Sanday and other Oxford dons against Germany. The sardonic shade of Dean Swift smiles with Satanic delight to see his famous and infamous fiction of "The Battle of the Books" fulfilled to the letter In real life. Eucken and Hacekel report that •"the world of German literature is filled with reprobation for the behavior of England, Her hypocritical Pharisaism is the most repugnant feature. It, deserves "nothing but con- tem'pt JSuch sentiments lead the nations downward. On England falls the guilt and the responsibility." , iSanday retorts that "Prussianized Germany stands on the naked doctrine -.hat might is right, The doctr.ae goes back to '£he good old rule, the simple plan, that they should sake ,who have the power and they should keep who can.'"

Brewery Worker: I have been listening to pour advice government, and army are 'Huns less forgivable than those of.Attlla, The .position of the German government is an example of unsurpassed wickedtness or of unsurpassed folly," " The shocking effect of war upon human nature could not be better illustrated than by these Instances of its malign influences upon scholars, some of whom, as Eucken and.

C, OCTOBER 17,1014 PAGE THREE The following is an abstract of a r v ' •« <♦ speech by Mr. T: A. Richards, of the;, Royal School of Mines, London, Eng*., at the fiftieth anniversary of the School of Mines, Columbia University, " in the. gymnasium; IMay 29, 1914. -Mr, Rickards said:. " . ' "" "It is a" common saying that agriculture and inining are the two iBasic industries'. When, man , rose" above the brutish individualism of his' (primordial state and began to develop ,the social.Instinot, he .turned to the soil, in order to win food for his family. He paused in'his migration, the goil held hib; it -gave root to his rudimentary community.; it gave him the * chance to enlarge his energies. - 'His tracks became highways; his rivers', avenuesof trade; and as his traffic expanded; so his imagination widened, until, out of tUe crudities of communal development' grew the complexities of civilization. "But the nomadic habit lingered; the "B-pirlt. 0% the hunter survived in . man; a wanderer and a wonderer he stood beneath the starry dome of the forest arch not knowing whether he were tbe guest or a captive in the'domain' orN'&ture. , The hills 'beckoned.; the seas called; the more venturesome left the tents of the, tribe in search of material wherewith tb fatehion their implements' They sought iron for 'weapons, copper for tools, gold for orltament, and found them ln various guises under their feet. They became tions persisted in Hungary, .Spain, and miners. To those who delved successfully, came power. Throughout thejages the -mjore energetic and venturous broke from the plough arid forsook the cattle in order to explore and to exploit. They brought the metals •from which Uie artificers fashioned en- " gines of power and machines of Intelligence. They won the materials for a social structure that, 'based on stone and .built in t iron aiid copper, soared in many storied tracery of steel to towers radiant with light and vibrant to the sky—towers so fi\r above the common ground that man almost forgot his lowly origin and claimed kinship with the stars. "The story of mineral exploration and ractyl migration is .peculiarly the heritage of. our people, the Anglo-Celts, it is the motif that runs through the drama of English and American history, more particularly durlng'the laBt hundred years. Even In its barest outlines it serves to suggest that the min- er is the pioneer of Industry and the Aherald of empire. "The first social organizations around the shores of tbe (Mediterranean sent their prospectors to the hint- ' erl?nas of Europe, Asia and Africa. The gold of Ophir, the copper of Sinai, the silver of Laurium.'woio part of the veil and woof of .those early civilisations The mines of Iberia gave Hannibal the sinews of war against Rome, and the gold of Davla strengthened tiie resources of Rome ifader Trajan. • "But the greatest adventure was that j)f the Phoenician* who passed through tho Pillars ot Hercules into the wetsern ocean tn order to reach the far Cassltortdes, the tin Islands that In.turn were to .produce'those -Cornlshmen to'whom the world, ts one big mine. Atter Carthage and Rome, in turn. had> been overthrown, the min- j* Saxony, but the Middle Ages to the miner were as dark below ground as above. Even.the discovery of America, which marked' the'beginning of a new world movement, was not connected with a real adyan.ce in mineral exploitation, although associated' with the winning of gold1 and silver. , It Is true, the -wave of -Spanish conquest broke over the American continent, penetrating the treasure vaults of •Mexico and Peru. But the Spaniard devastated, he did nGt develop. He gathered the harvest that the patient Indian has secured by the laborious toil of centuries. Cortez and Piz- zarro were filibusters,-, not explorers; they were prlates, not miners. 'The conquistadores were riot pioneers of industry; behind them arose the smoke of ruin and the dust of destruction. Even the great sea captains of Elizabeth were but the sequel to an epoch of spoliation. . After them, and in their wake, and across the sea, came the men who from Cornwall and Devon, from Saxony and the Harz, brought the technique of mining tb the new world, applying it peacefully to the mineral development of Mexico, Peru, and Chile, all along the regions previously ravaged by European freebooters. . "But the great era of mineral exploration came with the discovery of gold in California.. It was the prelude to a wbrli-wIde*migration, an en ormous expansion of trade, a^trefnen- dous advance in Uie arts of life, and the spread of industry to the waste places of the earth. "The color of energy began to tint the .blank spaces on the map. The western halt of the North American continent, airof Australia, the southern half of Africa, the northern half of Asia, were invade'd, .penetrated, and explored by those in search of gold, of other metalsi.and as each successive mineral discovery was made by the miner he called upon his fellows to come and take a-hand'in the good work. He was the scout far aiiead of an army of development Trade follows the flag, it is true, but the flag follows the plck.'^ x Mr. ^Ickards then told' of the finding of gold Jn California by James W. Marshall, on January 24, 1848, and of the' sudden rush of the gold seekers to the .Pacific Coast which is so well known In the hietoiy of California, and which resulted in the production Mr. Rickards then went on to tell of the finding) of gold in 1884 in the De Kaap region and the subsequent discoveries in other regions which. !tc! up to the exploitation of the Rand, beginning in 1886, and the production in the next 26 years of more than $!.- 500,000,000 from, the gold fields there. The West African, fields-^-the Gold Coast — hati-, he said* averaged* $],- 750,000 per annum during the first half of the nineteenth century, .but real miningjthere did* not begin until 1SS0, when a Frenchman, Marie Joseph Bon- nat, who had been on the coast for a number of years, returned to Paris and formed a company/which did not prosper, but which resulted in the finding of tin which has long been a thriving Industry there. Then he told the story of the Yukon, beginning with 1880 and leading up to the rush to thc Klondyke in 1897. The output from that region, he said, in 1898 was $10,- 000,000, with a total output to date of $150,000,000. After speaking of the great work of .prospectors in the development of the countries they visited, he concluded by saying: "After the prospector has come the mining engineer. The scout has gone in-advance of tbe captain of industry. Those of you that have crossed the range In winter know how tae lender (breaks the trail by leaving footprints into which his -followers tread, step by step, greatly to the safetv nnd^ase of the travel. Thit is ^rhat 4.he mineral explorer has done for the mining engineer. That is what the mining engineer has done for those behind him. Some' of you have leen prospectors, as well as engineers.. "Have ypu broken trail on snowshoee; /' inashed your huskies up the river? "Have you marked the map's void spaces, "Pelt p& savage^strength of brute in every thew?" '•Again, I ask you to recall how you threadeij the pathless forest on your •way to examine a new mineral discovery. On the trees at intervals you hhve seeii lhat the bark was chipped.

From 'the stark and sullen solitudes tbat sentinel the iPole' to the 'steaming stillness of-the orchid scented glade' in the tropics, he has left his mark. You know that. No need for the prospector to complain to you, like Kipling's explorer: "Well I know who'll take the credit; all the clever chaps that followed— ".Came a dozen men ^together—never" knew my desert fears; "Tracked me by the camps I'd quitted, used Ihe water holes I'd,hollowed.

I should like to bring forcefully to the attention of your readers that Belgian, mindful of her obligation to observe strict neutrality, is today in a state of immeasurable suffering. Seven out of her nine provinces have been devastated by the most dreadful war known to history. The peaceful 'rcountryside ls strewn with tne aeaa and the dying. Thousands of people: have nothing in the world left, not a roof over their heads, no- money, no clothes, and no chance of earning a living of any sort. I am told the sight of these poor refugees, wandering over the country seeking food and shelter is more pitiable than words can express, and that It is scarcely possible to exaggerate the calamity which, with overwhelming suddenness has fallen upon this peaceful, thrifty and self-reliant people." I realize that-we In British Columbia may. expect "more or less bard times this winter, and that the old adage, "charity begins at home," may within limitations well apply, but, sir, I feel sure you will agree witli me that a broader interpretation of this principal is now warranted. The Belgian people have, In our cause and to our great benefit,' committed their lives, their families, and their homes to this nobler view of the obligations M , CELEBRATED FUtf MAKERS - IO - BIG.

Rexall Store of Canada CONTRIBUTION TO THE Canadian Patriotic Fund SHE Rexall Stores of Canada, 400 of the leading Drug Stores in Canada, have unanimously agreed to contribute to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, FIVE PER CENT, of ! their total purchases of all Rexall Toilet Goods, Rexall Remedies and other merchandise manufactured or sold by the United Drug Company, Limited, Toronto, from October 15th, to December 31st, 1914. This action of the Kc-xall Drug Stores of (.'anada has lieen undertaken co-operatively, because as a co-operative .organization, they realize how much more can be done unitedly than individually, and'it has been taken for two reasons—to fulfil a humane duty in raising a fund for the relief work'of the Canadian Patriotic Organization, and a patriotic duty in an endeavor to keep a large staff of Canadian employees busy. Tlie 101.) Rexall Stores, of Canada make an appeal to your -sympathy and support in tlieir doubly worthy cause for increasing the funds of the Canadian Patriotic Organization and for the support of Canadian workmen, because:— The fund that would be raised on the basis of last year's j business can be tremendously increased if every man and wo: man in Canada will help a little by the simple process of purchasing Rexall Goods at the Rexall Stores: No need to give space in this announcement to emphasize- the high quality of Rexall Toilet and Medicinal goods, .Sufficient to say that 7,000 of the leading Drug Stores in Canada, Great Britain, and the U.i'ied States place their personal and collective reputations behind them; that i\<:. public in the-e countries endorse them to the extent of several million dollars worth of purchases a year. Better goods are not made, and you take no risk in buying, for every Rexall Store will return you your money if any Rexall product i.s not entirely satisfactory and do it. too. without the slightest objection. There's a full list of liexall products waiting for you at the Rexall Store in your town. " Ask for it—kindly pass the word along to your friends. Tt is the collective purchases of all that will make this Rexall Store Fund for the Canadian Patriotic Organization work a big one. The P'und will be collected from each Rexall Store in Canad'a by the United Drug Company. Limited, Toronto, and will be paid by them direct to the officers of the Canadian , Patriotic Organization, and the amount so collected will be! published in this paper when paid over, REXALL GOODS ARE MADE IN CANADA and you can pro- cure them in your town only from s : B i 3 N.

Tin.' .)l't t|uuicil expression <»f Hliernmn tlmt "War is Hell." may some IWly years ago have conveyed a very crude and iundcipiuk' iilea of what a conflict between armed men of that period was. Imt it is absolutely impossible to convey auy idea of what the present conflict really is like unto. All the horrors and torments of hell every pictured hy Dante are the nost insipid nonsense when compared wirti tlie present wrecking of Kurope. But, strange, we really never see the worst of war until it is the militnry iUllh,m.ities are roi)b(Hl of a ,>0,;tion of over; the drunkard never realizes what his debauch, „u, lMU,rgillg ()f the nation< „nd u iutr0l1uces 1he means until he endures the torments of the morrow. sities for the arm/ are producing for consumption of non-combatants. The people of small towns sometimes start out to perform some useful public work, such as cleaning the roads or beautifying the town; there is no direct remuneration for this, beyond securing better roads and a better town. The German government has the people of Germany engaged on sueh a "work at present, and t'hey have put it up to them that they must win this war to save the nation. The Germans will pay for the war. both now and after. At present the government is commandeering their property and if they succeed iu defeating the Allies they may be paid. {Note, we say "may!") If they do not beat the Allies the German people will lose their industries and their commandeered property. Germany has all her internal resources to consume before she is {defeated, but win or defeat, the people must pay. At present they are little more than slaves of the German government; they have lost every vestige of personality, they are part of a huge machine. When the war is over, if successful, they can force thoir commerce upon the vanquished nations. If on the other hand they are unsuccessful, they will have to start building up their commerce as did France after 1871. The French people, as previously stated, are in very much the same boat as the Germany, with the one exception, and possibly a dangerous exception, they have to feed an idle army and supply it with munitions of war. but they have access to the sea and their produce can be shipped to other countries and secure return values. This means that Nations of people never realize the cost of tfhe xviv: until they have to pay it. And, remember, it has to bo paid for. Not infrequently you hear the wise ones declare that ■'Germany must lose because she cannot stand possibility of capitalist exploitation, which in Germany is scarcely possible under the military regime. In Germany the worker is sure of a living, for the army must live and to keep the army they have to produce for those who are not producing, Where j the Teutons compelled to work their factories to the financial strain."

T3ie resolution was referred hack to the exectuive, to~be taken up. A resolution bitterly condemning"the action of tho government in rejecting the representative of the miners on the distributing. board»of tiie Hillcrest Relief Fund, and -thus affronting the miners' organization', provoked considerable discussion. - Opposition to the rule that no victim of the disaster living outside of the province developed until it was made clear that this rule had .been abrogated subsequently. No objection was taken -to the personnel of the three members erf the commission, but there was a widespread desire that the miners have a couple of representatives on It. Complaints of mismanagement an-i Inefficiency In the conduct of the relief were also made by several of the mining delegates present. \V.

Delegate Wheatley, of Bankhead. said that what -was wanted* was more Information In regard to the distributions so far made. The effort of the government to keeip the miners outside of the reHef distribution was bitterly resented, he said. "Leisurely Indifference." Delegate Jas. Knight, of Edmonton, scored the Alberta government for its leisurely indifference to the sufferings of the victims of the disaster. He urged that the workers strongly condemn the government, ridiculing its affectation of protecting the workers by means of the compensation act and similar "joker" legislation. Delegate L. T. Tallentyre stated that he had been informed by a mining delegate present tliat the .wages due the miners at the time of the Hlllcrest disaster had not yet been paid their dependants by the company In question. The resolution of the comimttee was then carried.

Nevertheless some 30 or 40 people ot this camp took in the dance and rraport a good time. .The Methodist Church was filled to capacity Sunday laBt on the occasion of Harvest Thanksgiving. The products of the garden were lavishly shown. The young men of the church constructed two ibeautiful arches of trees, which added greatly to the effect. The choir rendered appropriate . music and the pastor delivered, a short instructive address. On Tuesday evening the church was again filled, the occasion 'being a social and sale of fruit, flowers, etc. Songs and recitations occupied the first half of the programme.

Some people seem a little suspicious ,of i what may happen during his vaoation and are accordingly guessing,'' while the evidence is certainly .convincing. Mr, Perry is agent dttlrng Mr. Murray's absence. iMr: Samson, the school inspector, has 'been in town for a few days looking after the school interests. Quite a fire started in Blairmore early Sunday morning when the building known as Cement Lodge, and formerly used as a hotel, was burnt to the ground. No one -seems to know hnw the fire started, a? the building was unoccupied. Tbe concert given in the 'Methodist Church last 'Monday night was largely attended, and the program, contribute t\l ty local Idlent, voted "the best yot," The proceeds, about $33, go to the church treasury. when most of the respectable citizens of both' sexes indulged in a whist drive. In the opinion of many 50 cents is rather a high charge, besides all are not in favor of sending the profits t6 the war fund. The old adage, "Charity should begin at home," is very applicable here, and judging from present appearances many children may be in need of food or clothes before the winter is over, hence the pro fits should be' kept in hand until we are sure they can be done without. ' BEAVER MINES NOTES ♦ ♦♦♦♦«*♦♦.♦♦< Contrary to expectations, the mine here worked three days last week, but as more cars were loaded than were required at the time, we cannot say when the mine will start again. Dennis Guttrldge, J. Shearer and 'Miss M. Malcolm, from the Putte ltench, were in town on Saturday and took in the show and dance at tlio Lyric Hall. On Saturday, 3rd Inst., the battle of Beaver was fought between a bunch of Austrians and an equal number of Britishers at the Beaver Hotel. The foreign brethren, however, w*e quickly vanquished and retreated in""great disorder; leaving tlieir wounded behind.- The same saloon was agajn the scene of some very wicked fighting on Monday, uth inst., between a great nunjber of His Majesty's loyal subjects; and as a sequel to the scrap five of the boys, who were said to be the aggressors, were summoned to appear before Christian Junget, justice of the peace, at the Police Barracks, Beaver Mines on the 12th, at 1 p.m., to answer charges _of__creatlng_jH*_dJ3-_ turbance. Four of the scrappers pleaded guilty and were let off with a fine of $1.00 and $3.25 costs. The fifth -bruiser, who is an ex-chara.p!on, did not appear until nfter the court closed, and therefore the limbs of the law were put to thc trouble of again declaring the court open in the King's name. This, of course, had to be paid for. so scrapper No. 5 was fined $10 nnd $4.75 costs. Hard luck, George, but don't be late next time. At 3 p.m., on the 8th Inst,, the Court of Overseers for the school district of Beaver, Mlnei, met In the temporary scboolhoiiBe to hf ar complaints from property owners who considered they were over assessed or under as- sensed. Needless to aay the "tinders" were not represented. The court con- slated of Tom O., Moore, chairman, Dave Muir and Tom O, Prentice. The chairman In opening the session atated that thia being the first rate levied In the new school district, It was necessarily a heavy one as several Items had to be paid, for school equipment, the payment of an indemnity to the Coalfields School district, of which Beaver „ Mines was formerly a part, and other "items, hut in levying the rate they tried to be fair lo all property ownera, hence they assessed land owners at 10 rents per acre, and tot owners at 10 mills tn th* dollar. Mr. .!, C. Crosby, who with the ex-cop- tion of the Canadian Coal and Coke Co., Is the largest ratepayer In the new school district, complained of be- TABER NOTES A football game between the Canada West and the firemen was played on Thanksgiving Day. The Canada West turned out in their new uniforms and looked pretty smart, but were defeated by a score of I nil. The ball given -by the band was a great success financially and otherwise. There will be an election for check- welghmen held this week as the present incumbent is resigning liis position owing to the mine only working about two days per week. He is going to take over the job of pipe-laying In the mine, with the promise, it is understood, of practically a steady lob. Nominations will be called for on Wednesday night. The fire brigade received a call on Friday night and turned out in a hurry but found there was no need for their services, as it was a blaze from a chimney that caused the alarm to be sent in. 'Some of the boys had'itheir nice clothes spoiled with mud. Chief Faulds, of the fire department, will be married on Wednesday. to a young lady from Lethbridge. The chief has made himself very popular during his stay In town and everybody will wish him and his bride 'all the happiness that life affords.

Mr. D. Davidson, pit boss at No. J, lost his gold watch, but was fortunate ln recovering same. Steve Itoslo, on his way to work at night, found -same, the silvery ray of the moon scintillating upon the gold case, was respon sible for its discovery. Messrs.

Fraternal delegate to W. F. of ,M.: R. Levitt. •The number of members present could*, to some extent, be accounted for by the fact that after our last five days' stoppage the afternoon shift was entirely abandoned for the time being, and as far as practicable the married men are being given the preference with regard to work. The result has been a deal of controversy, and the pit committee reported the result of their visit to tne super, ine. gist of that gentleman's reply to theu> being as follows: That the ir strut tions he had received were to give married men the first ahow, and the old timers who had stayed with the the camp through Its varying visslt »d es,1 the second show. Further, he was very much afraid that If the situation did not change very goon a number of married men would have to cc also. Thus, as will be readily seen, th*1 report of the committee was net of $ very encouraging nature, and the discussion that followed was of a very varied character, so varied, in fact, that it was tabled owing to the lameness of the hour, for Sunday next. iM embers will kindly note that the meetings will be held fortnightly in future, and will be held on the Sunday following pay day. A number of fire bosses here havp been given a months' notice and in formed that their services in that capacity will be no longer required, but that another job will be found for them. A very Interesting discussion on T1fe~quesnWTrtemperaiico was listened to recently.

Phone 1«1 anti-war manifestoes of the two Socialist'Parties of-.G?<8at Britain}* INDEPENDENT LABOR PA-RTY ' It has long been earnestly "urged fby the Independent Lahor Party that the diplomatic policies pursued hy European rules, /including our own, and supported by the force of murderous armaments would lead inevitably, to universal war or universal bankruptcy—or both. .That prediction, based upon facts and tendencies, has been only too swiftly and tragically fulfilled. The Cause of the War ' Instead of striving tu unite Europe in a federation of States, banded together for peace, diplomacy has deliberately aimed at dividing Kurope into two armed, antagonistic camps, the triple entente and the triple alliance. Diplomacy haa been underground, secret, deceitful, each -power endeavoring by wile and stratagen to get the better of its neighbor. Diplomats have breathed the very air of jealousy, deception, and distrust Each country, ,in turn, largely through the influence of the jingo press, hafc heen stampeded by fear and panic. Each country has tried to outstrip other countries In the vastness .and costliness of its war machine.-' Powerful armament interests have played their sinister part, for it is they who reap rich harvest out of havoc -and' death. When all this has been Gone, any spark will start a conflagratiori like the present. It is difficult and perjiafls1 futile to try to apportion at this moment the exact measure of responsibility and blame which the various countries must bear. It is just as untrue to- -say th-jft British policy has baen wholly white and German policy whollyi black as to say that German policy has -been right and British policy entirely wrong. Simple, undlscrimlnatlng people in both countries may accept nnre-* served-ly one or other of these alternatives, but, as past experience shows, history will tell a different story. Secret Diplomacy For the present Sir Edward Grey issues 'his white paper, to prove- Germany the aggressor, just as Germany issues a white paper to prove Bus- Si4_lJlfl^ggresaor^andiJtussUu4o-i)ro¥*e- Austria the aggressor. Even if every word In- the British white paper .be ad*- mlttedj the wider Indictment remains. Let It be acknowledged that In the days Immediately preceding the war, Sir Edward Grey worked for peace. It was too late. Over a number of years, together with other diplomats, he had himself dug the abyss, and wise statesmanship would bave foreseen and averted the certain result Jt was not tho Servian question nor the -Belgian question that pulled this' country Into the deadly struggle. Great Britain Ib not at war because of oppressed nationalities or Belgian neutrality. Even had Belgium neutrality not been wrongfully in** fringed by Germany, we should h^ve ■been drawn In. If Prance, ln defiance of treaty right, had Invaded Belgium to get at Germany, who believes we j should have '-begun hostilltlesagainst Franco? Behind the back of Parliament and people, the British foreign office gave secret understandings to France, denying their existence when challenged, That It why this country it now face to face with the red ruin and Impoverishment of war.- Treaties and agree, ments have dragged republican France at the heels of despotic Russia, Britain at tho heels of France, At the proper time all this will be made public, nnd the men responsible called to account. We desire neither tiie aggrandise. mum of German militarism nor Hussion militarism, but the danger Is that this «ar will promote oue or the other. Britain hat placed herself behind Russia, the most reactionary, corrupt and oppressive power In Europe, If Russia Is permitted to gratify her territorial ambitions and extend her Cossack rule, civilisation nnd democracy will be gravely 'Imperilled. Is It for this that Britain has drawn.Ute sword? Tens or thousands of our fellow workera sre In tlw from of battle, knotting not If th<r will ew return again. Atresdy many have fatten, and soon tbe death roll will mount WAR—A PARABLE ■ War sfttona.hlg^ jrtaee, nearj-jthe city named Enrtb,'-tj^ore all who passed a-jpeg tho W&hway called, hite couid^eebim as.they went o.i tbeiritlpn in their..commeriial/financial^nd in. France, .-Belgium, Germany and other- lands." • Is* it "not right that- we. should remember this? To us who are -Socialists the work, ers of Germany and Austria, no less than the'wpVkers'of France and Rus. sia, are' comrades and 'brothers; in this hour of carnage and eclipse we have -friendships ahd compassion to aH victims of militarism. Our nationality and independence, w!hjch are dear to us, we are ready to defend:; but we cartnot rejoice in the organized murder of tens of thousands of workers of other lands who go to-kill and be killed at the command of rulers to whom the people-are as pawns. The war conflagration envelops Europe; u,p to the last moment we labored to prevent the blaze. The nation must now watch for'the first opportunity for effective intervention. As to the future, Ave must begin to prepare our minds for the difficult and dangerous complications that will arise at the conclusion of the war. The people must everywhere resist such territorial aggression and na- tlonal^'basement. as will pave the way for fresh wafrs; and, throughout Europe, the workers must press for frank,and honest diplomatic policies, controlled by themselves, for the suppression of militarism and the establishment of the United States of Europe, thereby advancing toward the worlds peace. Unless these steps are taken Europe, after the present calamity,'will be still more subject to the increasing domination of militarism, and liable to be drenched with .blood. Socialism Will Yet Triumph We are told that international Socialism ls -dead, that all our hopes <>Sd ideals are wrecked by the fire and pestilence of European war. It is not. true. Out "of the darkness and the depth we hail our working-class comrades of every land. Across the roar of guns, we send sympathy and greeting to the German Socialists. They have labored- unceasingly to promote good relations with-Britaln, as we with Germany. They are no enemies of ours, but faithful friendis. In forcing this appalling crime upon the nations, it is the rulers, the diplomats; this mnitSTilts wKo Bave sealed their doom. In tears and -blood cial business -as -well as beinjg pro. ducere? By*- being; .privileged to. attend'such meetings they, bring out iho fact that the working class; can -be a: great factor in their. Wri-'emancipa- journeys. Among those who.' took their-eyes from the ground was King." When he saw -War, ho istop-ped. * "What are you that -sits .beside the highway of Life?" aeked King.'.' - ; War ansvu-gred: . ■- ", '....'' - x"l am (Power,, and Dominion, 'and Pride. I am- the maker -an^^nragaker of dynasties. Tset up and pull down the rulers of Earth, the great city* in which you. dwell. By me -wealth and strength -are apportioned, dishonor is redeemed, right, is made -plain; and justice Is done," ... So King went his way, thinking, "War Is'good." Soon there came Young Man, and he, too, asked who War was. War said: "I am Adventure and Daring, Boldness and, Hardihood. I bestow renown and distinction on men. Those who follow me grow bj-ave of spirit apd hard of body. They learn the happiness tjiat comes from ardent toil,. Mie joy that is born of struggle. -The people of the Earth look with greatest favor on those who enroll themselves in my record book and- reward them with first consideration." Young Man-whistled as he followed this highway called Life, and cried -aloud*, "War Is noble!" .' Next Old Man, weak, of sight and hard of hearing, peered at War and said: "Who are you up there?" ;To the Old Man, War replied': "I am Memory and Thoughts of Yesterday. I it was who filled your heart Avith friends and clothed your mind with tbe good memories of a glorious past. I took from you your farm, but in its-place I gave you something fi|r better, the service of a devoted friend. ,By me you were made poor In pooket, to beg your bread as you walked the highway- called Life, but in exchange I gave you the great days of your manhood to comfort and sustain you." Old Man's £ace\vwas lighted'by his thoughts of the brave days, when he knew war, and as he set one foot before the other he chuckled and .struck his thigli with his hand, and mumbled in his beard: "I mind now that War is the great thing." But then there came on the highway called Life, Woman, who had borne sons that War had destroyed', and.daughters who hadi Wept upon ber skirts for their husbands that War had torn from them; Woman, who had dried the tears of orphans War hfcd made and Btariohed the" blood of economical life, and this-being the case in Great Britain, theaame can bav done by workers' the worlcl over," ' " I am -pleased to seethe Jorunal rein the States and' I feel encouraged when I think'I have been $>f sotpe little help in'holding its banner up before the "Journal's many ^readers for some yea-rs' now,' 'and' with the visit of so -many; of my craftanen*. from the States over each year, I am sure there Can and will be a great work" done by the workers of my "adopted land toward the co-operative idea of life. - Now, ietvme just have a few parting words to the wives and mothers wbo may read these notes: Do your- part in helping your husbands' to establish' the co-operative .principles wherever you can and write a few short letters upon it in the Journal, •pointing to the experiences you have had when on this side of the pond in connection with the co-operative movement.

A person cannot undorstand that the British nation Is engaged ln sucb a stupendous conflict as It is and yet the nation to be so cool and collected, but one thing points to tbe thought that the future destiny of the nation Is In safe bands.

His1 Honor Judge Thompson held the regular October sitt'ig of the County Court on Thursday, Priday and Saturday of last week. A nflmber of applications for naturalization were dtspj)eed of, and there being no Criminal oases, the civil suits next received the at^ntion of* the Ciurt The first was that o'f Hill vs. Hill," this was a qnvrrel between two brothers that unfortunately had not beon settled between theni and accordingly was aired in court. After hearing evl- Jjd^«»^n--da,^-Tbarsdayr-His-Ho"iiBr summed up (briefly, and in doing so stated that there was no doubt in his mind that the parties, In order to strengthen their respective cases, -bad not by any means adhered to the truth, and that it was one of those deplorable family squabbles, instigated by the ferrilninexmembers of the community. Judgment was given In favor of the plaintiff for $133. . THE BAYNE8 LAKE LAND CASE The next and most Important -case coming up at this session/ ot the County Court was that of w. A. Barter and D. W. -Hart vs. David .Mclntyre, nnd for whlcb'the services of a Special jury, was required. To act in thlB capacity the following gentlemen wore sworn In: John Minton (foreman V| Jas, Savage, F. Bean. W. Barton and F. Labelle,. This action was one arising out of the sale of some ten a-cres of Innd) Including certain Improve, ments In the Baynes Lake District, for the sum of (1375.00, payable $27l> In rash at the tlmjp of the vale, and tho balance In flvq a.viu*l Inslrll ments of like amount. In l.'eu of which V"u promissory notes, ben tin* Interest were given. The plttitlff brought sun when the defendant defatted nn the second promissory note falling due January lst, 1914, Th* defence for this action was mlirepresontatton, and a counter-claim was sUo put In asking for remission of contract and damages. .Mr. U. W, Hart, one of the plaintiffs, was the first witness. On cross examination'it developed that orlnlual- ly tbls property hsd been sold by htm while acting aa agent for the Kootenay niver Und Co., to one Stephen ..Mnnn, and on account of the latter leaving the district, witness re-pur- chased It and then In partnership with one W, A. Better, the other plaintiff in thle action, re-eold It to defendant, Mcffttyie ft waa brought that the rim ••efordlng to which this H*.'. wns sold had not been registered until very recently. Witness sdmttted thst he had represented the land as good land suitable for growing fruit and vegetables, but waa doubtful tbat bn had classified same as llret cleat Isnd for that purpose, hut suoh might Have been tbe ease. All efforts on tlr* otirt td oormale* **e*a*t Ht ♦>**«•« opportunity to thoroughly inspect it on accorfht off the snow. During the first year he spent on the land he estimated* that his expenditures were about ¥400 in addition to his labor. These disbursements were ^for Im- ] iprovemervts to the .property in the form of seed, hired -cultivation of the land, fencing, improvements to ithe dwelling, and nlso- the sum of $50.00 expended in digging a well, which did not produce any water. When he moved onto the landjie had found that "tn"eTf"WaiTTioTrHpi!on syeFem on it, but as the irrigation company were engaged ln installing such a system in that locality, he knew that eventually it would be Installed, and on that account did not complain to the parties from whom he had purchased the land. During tbe year 1912 he did not receive' any benefits from the irrigation system as it was not completed. so that he could aot use it until July of that year, when, he contended, U was of no us4 to the crop of that year. His crop for that year had been a failure, some of It not worth reaping. However, In spite otf this fact, he met bis second 'payment, January lst, 1913, believing that as lt was now possible to obtain water that-his crops would be successful, In 11*13 he bad five acres under cul- ttvatlon and the Irrigation pipe being on his property,, he made a hole In the pipe nnd allowed the water to run. ThlB practise, had been immediately stopped by tho management of Uie Irrigation company, and he had only been allowed an Insufficient quantity of water for tlio remainder of the season. In the neighborhood ot $300.00 was "pent by him that year In trying to produco n crop. Of the five acres under cultivation, one was tn vegetables, the bain nee In oats. The onts were an absolute failure, but there was some return In the form of a vegetable crop, although Uie return from this source had not been suffi- clenit to "cover the cost of tl»e noni, which he "estimated was between $50 and $60 tor that year. Replying to a question <by counsel for plaintiff as to his experience of farming, witness stated that be had been raised on his father's farm in Ireland until he was 17 years of age. His reason for remaining on the .property in question as long as hie has was tbat he had been optimistic and thought conditions would improve, but be now conscientiously believed that he could not make a living off a thousand acres of such land. He had also planted fruit trees all of which had -.subsequently died. Several witnesses were called by the defence, residents in the neighborhood of the defendant's property. They-claimed that the land was slightly better than the average land in the district, it being of a sandy nature with a gravel sub-soil, for which irrigation was a necessity. One witness stated tbat in his opinion tbese lands were not -farm lands at all, but grazing lands. Charles Edwards, present manager of the iBaynes Lake Land Co., an English corporation, was then called on behalf of the plaintiff. He had lived in that district since 1912, and had general experience of farming communities in Newfoundland, 'Manitoba and all. over this province. In answer to question regarding defendant's claim that he had not been supplied with sufficient, water, witness stated that defendant had deliberately, without permission from the proper party, Tapped the irrigation jpjpe and allowed the water to run to .-/aste on his property. Witness had ordered the pipe plugged up, and when defendant did not wish to put In a proper valve, witness had given him permission to remove the plug and use a little water at night onljC He considered that the land was suitable for farming purposes and good land provided it had irrigation. Witness admitted having given evidence at a previous law suit when the land had been sold at $105 per acre, but in the case referred to judgment had been given against the land company for approximate-ly $26,- 000 on account o-f it not being irrigated, or in other -words a reduction .from $105 an acre to $10 per acre. .Witness stated the presenOrrlgntlon system was capable of supplying ample water for the district comprising hetween 800 and 1100 acres of land under gravity, James Lee was tbe last witness for the plaintiff, and questioned by the Judge as to the nature of crops he had raised, on his land stated that it .had PAGU! 8EVE* w "consisted ol vegetlbles, principally potatoes. This year's crop averaged about four tons of potatoes to the acre, which he admitted to his honor was not a very good yield. On court being opened on Saturday morning, the jury expressed Its desire ot being allowed to Inspect the land in question, and after a short discussion between his honor and counsel for both aides the request of the Jury was granted, and automobiles were commissioned and the trip to Baynes made. As it was late Saturday afternoon before the party returned, and as MD ECZEMAJO YEARS Cared byZuut-Uak Mr. Joseph Johnson, 584 Broome St, New York", writes: "Over twenty years ago eczema appeared on my hands' and, face. I went to a doctor, but his treatment afforded only temporary,relief. Finding medical attention and treatmeut of little avail I commenced to try first one and tben another ot the so-called remedies which wero recommended, but for over twenty years I suffered from this painful, humiliating disease. During tbls time I spent hundreds of dollars and all I got was temporary, relief. At last Zam-Buk was suggested to me; I de- '< cided to give It a trial, but did not 1 expect a cure. ' "The first few applications proved this remedy entirely different to tbe scores of preparations I had^used in vain. Perseverance with Zam-Buk and Zam-Buk Soap, I am more than glad to say, has effected a complete cure. . i "Zam-Buft is beyond all questional marvellous preparation aqd I most heartily recommend lt to all sufferers from eczema." Think of it, suffering day in and day out for twenty years! Think of the grip this disease must bave had on the entire system! Think of the healing power of Zam-Buk which, de spite the long-standing nature of the disease, effected a cure! How much more easily and more quickly the cure could have been effected had Zam-Buk been applied at tbe outset! If you suffer from any skin disease or injury, piles, ulcer, abscess, rheumatism or sciatica, tako this lesson to heart. Try Zam-Buk firtt and give it a fair trial.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : F.H Newnham |
Date Issued | 1914-10-17 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
