VOL. 6, NO. 1. PRINCE GEORGE. BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1915. Price Five Cents WesternScottish Given Send-off By City Lieut. Cooke's Recruits Were Guests of City on Tuesday Evening—More to Follow. Reported Murdera At Stuart Lake. GENERAL SIR IAN HAMILTON. Forty - two recruits for the Western Scottish, headed by Lieutenant Billy Cooke, left here by Tuesday evenin.'s westbound express for Victoria, where they will go into training at the Willows camp. En-route to Prince Rupert eleven additional recruits were added to the party, so that when they took the boat at Prince Rupert they were fifty- three strong. Word was received today that another body of recruits for the Western Scottish will be forwarded from here on the 21st inst. These will include a number of men who intended joining a battalion to be known as the Western Frontiersmen. It now appears that this battalion will not be recruited at present. Those who had intended joining the company of frontiersmen will attach themselves to the Western Scottish, The city of Prince George officially marked the departure of the men who left here on Tuesday evening. A smoker was held in their honor on Tuesday even • ing in the Ritts-Kifer Hall, which was attended by a thoroughly representative body of citizens. Mayor Gillett was in the-chair. Speeches were made by His Worship the mayor, Judge Robertson, Rev. C. M. Wright, John Munro, Dr. Lazier, and P. E. Wilson. Lieut. Cooke responded to the toast of "Our Guests" in a neat speech. After the smoker the recruits formed in line and marched to the depot, where hundreds of citizens had gathered to bid the boys good-bye and wish them a safe return. Following are the names of the recruits in the party: Archie Crozier, Sam Borland, S. J. Wilton, George H. Webster, Harry Fallon, Walter Adams, Wallace Mc- Mullen, Moses A. Wilson, Reg. Booth, W. Hedges, G. E. Ruilton, N. Montgomery, Adam II. Bull, R. L. Condy, Al. Haggith, Spence Everett, A. F. Cumming, Harry E. Scovil, 11. W. Reid, Russell Craig, Angus Matheson, R. Jobson, L.

Stockan, Nicholas Smith, Frank Axer, Leonard F. Beasley, Guy L. Tookes and Walter E. Ellis. Mr. Dunwoody, chief of provincial police, left last evening for Stuart Lake, accompanied by Dr. Lazier, district coroner, to investigate the death of a settler named J. V, Coward, whose dead body was found in his cabin in a condition that would lead to the suspicion of murder. "Royal Alexandra" Opens Next Week \ — Mr. J. H. Johnson's new hotel the "Royal Alexandra," at the corner of Third Avenue and Brunswick, will be open to the public next week in time for the fair. The Royal Alex, is a splendid structure and fully modern in its appointments. Mr, Johnson hopes to make it as popular a hostelry as its namesake, the C. P. R. hotel at Winnipeg. Victoria, September 8th.— "I'll give a gun For Bill Cooke to run." In these quaint terms Mr. Charles Millar, a wealthy resident of Toronto, Ont., has informed Lt-Col. Lome Ross, commanding the 67th Battalion Western Scots, that he will provide that overseas unit with a machine gun providing Lieut. William Cooke/of Prince George, is given the necessary training and permitted to take charge of the operation of the death - dealing weapon. Col. Ross has signified his willingness to meet the conditions and Lieutenant Cooke will come to Victoria shortly with a strong force of recruits from his home town, The automatic quick-firer will follow as rapidly as the manufacturers for the Government can supply it. Col. Ross states the work of preparing his unit for active training is proceeding. All the men who were taken on the strength of the 50th Regiment Gordon Highlanders, for the Western Scots have been transferred. They also have received their equipment. Local recruiting is satisfactory and many Indian Department Officials Visit. W. J. McAllan, Indian agent for this district with headquarters at Fort St. James, is in the city today. Accompanying him are Major McGraw and Thos. Wilson, of the Dominion department. The party left this morning on a launch to visit the Indians on No. 2 reserve, eight miles up the Fraser. The commander of the British forces now fighting their way toward the Dardanelles. He has recently made a statement that before the end of September the Allied foices would be in Constantinople which would by the turning point in the war. Were Passengers on Hesperian Chief of Police Bosworth has received word that his wife and two children, who were passengers on the Allan Liner Hesperian, torpedoed by German submarines, are safe and sound at Queenstown, Ireland. Mrs. Bosworth and children had been spending a holiday with friends in England and were en route to Prince (ieorge when the Hesperian was attacked. New Fire Engine Arrives for City The fire engine ordered by the city some weeks ago arrived yesterday and is now being tuned up for a final test to be given by R. S. Bickle of Winnipeg, from whose company the engine was purchased. The machine is of the Hersel-Spillman type and is a four-cylinder 60 h.p. Fire Chief Roy London is particularly pleased with the new engine and is making plans for the formation of an up-to-date fire-fighting brigade. Most Ferocious Since Inkerman.

On Friday between eighty and ninety men were taken on the strenth. At the present rate he expects that the number required will be on the roll in the course of a few weeks. The straw hats, which were issued a few days ago, will be replaced by the "Glengarries" either this week or next. The latter are on their way from Scotland. The 67th will wear the Douglas tartan. It was originally proposed that they would display I that of the Ross clan but the; matter has been reconsidered, itj being thought, that in view of J the place Sir James Douglas has in the history of the Canadian West it would be only a fitting recognition of the prominence of his name to make the alteration indicated. The pipers will wear the kilts, in which will be used only the Douglas tartan. At the camp all the regular calls in connection with the Western Scots will be sounded by the pipes. "Johnny Cope" will be played at "reveille" and there will be airs of a like appropriate character for the officers' mess call, the retreat, "last post," etc. The distinctive badge of the Scots has been selected. It is described as follows: "A cougar's head resting on a maple leaf, surrounded by a wreath of thistles rising from a ribbon bearing the motto 'Sabaid' The whole will rest on a background of the sea. Above the horizon will be a blazing sun and inscribed theron will be the num- \ erals67. The whole again will i be encircled by a ribbon bearing the regimental name, 'Western Scots, B.C.'" Dan Nordberg, an old time Cariboo miner and trader passed away at his ranch in Chilcotin on Friday, August 30th, aged 84 years. He came to Cariboo in the first gold excitement and was engaged in mining and trading. He built the first log cabin at the mouth of the Quesnel Kiver where the town of Quesnel stands today. He resided for many years in Chilcotin, where he was engaged in store - keeping and stock - raising. Old Dan was known and respected by everyone in the community, The burial took place at his ranch on Monday, August 23rd, Rev. U. H. H. Elliot reading the burial service. The funeral was well attended. Attorney-General Will Prosecute Mining Officials Vancouver, Sopt. i).—The ittiyney- general has initiated a prosecution on a charge of manslaughter against Thomas Graham, chief provincial mines inspector, and J. H. Tonkin, manager of the Pacilic Coal Company of Nanaimo. The charges arise out of the accident at the Reserve mine near Nanaimo in May, when twenty miners lost their lives. A blast from the Reserve mine smashed through the wall of adjoining workings, which were ooded, and the incoming rush of water drowned the men like rats. The government appointed Justice Murphy to investigate and he found that Tonkin had given instructions for continuing the work, basing his measurements on maps which he knew were copieii of originals, which Judge Murphy blames him for not obtaining. The copies were drawji to a different scale from the originals, and a fatal mistake of 400 feet was made. Both men are very prominent old-timers in the mining industry in British Columbia. London, Sept. 8.—The representative of the British press at the Dardanelles in a despatch describing in detail the great battle which ended August 10th after a four days' hand to hand struggle for the crest of Sart Bahr, which the Anzac corps actually reached but was unable to hold owing to the terrific Turkish counter-attacks and the failure of one of the co-operating strategic movements, says: "It was the most ferocious and sustained soldiers' battle since j Inkerman, But Inkerman was over in a few hours; whereas the British forces kept up this terrible combat with the Turks for four successive days and nights amidst the hills and ravines nine I hundred feet above the sea, to j which point all water, rations, and ammunition, had to be borne along paths which do not exist except on the map, and down which every man who fell wounded had to be borne in almost tropical heat. "It was a combat of giants in a giant country. It took place almost underground, both sides fighting to win, with utter disregard for life, in every trench, sap and dug-out. Desperate hand-to-hand fighting choked the trenches almost to the top with dead and wounded. The battle only came to an end with the utter exhaustion of both sides." Fall Fair Opens Next Tuesday Morning Everything is practically in readiness for the fall fair and agricultural ex! iMtion opening on Tuesday next and continuing over Wednesday. The general exhibits will be divided into six glasses: Live stock, grains, grasses, vegetables, home industries and school exhibits. A baby show for whieh three prizes are offered will also be a ! feature of the exhibition. The gentlemen who will act as judge in this interesting class is deserving of a medal at least. The proceedings open with a street parade starting from the corner of Third and George at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Several prizes are offered for floats and other decorative features in the parade. Then follows a list of foot races, horse races and athletic events, during which time the judges in the various classes will make tne awards. The agricultural and stock exhibits will be judged by two officials from the provincial agricultural department who are coming here expressly for the occasion. Wednesday's program will also be complete in competitive events of many kinds, and an enjoyable and profitable time is assured all who attend the fair. Prize lists and entry forms may be obtained from F, B. Hood, treasurer of the association, or from F. J. Shearer, secretary. Russians Inflict Severe Defeat on Germans Capture Ten Thousand Men and Much Booty—Czar Takes Command of Russian Army. Rapid Growth at Peace River According to a personal letter said to have been received from Sir John French by a well-known American, the British navy alone has sunk 42 German submarines. To these must be added a number known to have been sunk by French and Italian warships, bringing the total to at least 50. Petrograd, Sept. 4.—The appointment of General Alexiev as chief of staff to Grand Duke Nicholas and of General Ruzsky as commander of the northern armies of Russia, has led to the adoption of a hopeful tone by the Russian press, which expressed confidence in the future operations of the forces of the empire, (ieneral Alexiev made a notable reputation in his conduct of the Russian operations against Austria, The offensive on the right bank of the Viliya River is said to have slowed down. Russian military critics are convinced that the aim of the Germans is to cross the ^er Dvina, take possession of tie railway line between Riga and Dvinsk, capture Vilna and also the fortress of Rovno, to the south, and entrench for the winter. It is believed the Russians have excellent chances of successfully defending the Dvina line. Vancouver, B. C, September 8.^- "With railway construction proceeding at a greater rate than in any other part of Canada, with a splendid class of settlers going north from Edmonton on every train, with incalculable mineral wealth and with 50,0. J,- 000 acres of the richest arable land in the Canadian northwest awaiting the touch of the plough, there are many substantial reasons why those 1 who are familiaf with the great Peace River country should feel assured that it has a remarkable future and will in years to come support a population of several million persons. And the farm lands are being cultivated before the cities. j Dfe built. When the cities, are Mtab- ! lished they will have something to S back them. In other parts of western ' provinces the reverse procedure was adopted, with such unsatisfactory results that the citizens will have to wait for the agricultural districts to be developed before they wili be able to make further progress." This optimistic forecast of thu future of the great northland of the! province of Alberta, which is contiguous to the 3,000,000 acres of rich agricultural land in the British Columbia Peace River block, was made ' by Fred J. Gorman of Calgary, who is (returning to that city from the San Francisco exposition. Mr. Gorman stated that the crops in the Peace River country were far in excess of those of previous years. | All grains ripened early and very little ; damage was done by summer frost, which is rapidly becoming an unknown j quantity in the mqre thickly settled districts. Shortly before he left for the exposition, Mr. Gorman made a trip of over 2500 milea into the Peace River country. He travelled by rail from Edmonton to Lac la Biche, 110 miles north of the Alberta capital city, and the end of steel for the Alberta & I C/eat Waterways railway. He made ' the balance of the long trip by steamer and portage, circling south to Pence River Crossing, thence to Edmonton, 1125 miles of the trip from the Crossing to Edmonton being made on the Edmonton, Dunvegan & British Columbia railway. This line will eventually be constructed to Prince George, where it will make connection with the P. G. E., thus linking up Vancouver with the Peace River country, fji'om which city a targe volume of trade with the big nnd fertile country to the north will be developed. London, Sept. 9.-Imminence of a great offensive by the armies of the Entente Allies was scented here today by military critics as a reeult of the announcement from Petrograd that the Czar in person would lead the Russian forces in the battlefield. It was believed certain that the move was designed to mass every energy of the Russian people for the supreme struggle against the Teutons, This impression gained force from the continued hammering by the French and British cannon on the German lines in the west and from the failure of Berlin to claim further gains of note along the Niemen river or in the Riga sector. It was believed the Russian lack of munitions had at last been overcome and that while they held large forces of Germans and Austrians in the east, French British and Italians would simultaneously beflin an offensive on their fronts. Petrograd, Sept. 9.—A statement issued today by the war office says: In Galicia, near Tarnopol, yesterday we achieved great success against the Germans. The German Third Guards division and the Forty-eighth reserve division, reinforced by an Austrian brigade, with great quantities of heavy and light artillery, according to statements made by prisoners, had been preparing for several days for a decisive attack. This was fixed for the night of Tuesday-Wednesday. Forestalling the enemy our troops took the offensive and after a stubborn fight on the river Doljolka the Germans were completely defeated Tuesday evening. At the end of the engagement the enemy developed an artillery (ire of most extraordinary intensity. Only the impossibility of replying with the same weight of metal prevented us from further developing the success we had obtained. The G .rmans, besides suffering enormous losses in killed and wounded, left prisoners in our hands more than 2000 officers and 8000 men. We captured !i0 guns, 14 of which were of heavy caliber, many machine guns, gun limbers and other booty. After a brief pursuit our troops occupied their fcumer positions on the river Sereth. The emperor, having received a report of the defeat inflicted upon the enemy, sent an order to express to his valorous troops his joy and thankful ness for their success and the heavy losses inflicted on the enemy. Further south in the region ot Tiiembola, on the 7th, we dislodged the enemy from a series of villages, making prisoners over 40 officers and nearly 500 soldiers, together with three guns and a dozen machine guns. Between the Dniester and the left bank of the lower Sereth the Austrians passed to the offensive in the course of the 7th in the region of the village of Voriatyntze. By flank attacks one of ou.r battalions arrested the enemy's offensive and took prisoners 11 officers and over 100 Austrians with machine guns. The fortunate withdrawal of our armies from the .difficult position before the Vistula where they were surrounded by the enemy is beginning to make itself felt now by partial successes. Aviators Destroy Two Submarines. Amsterdam, Sept. 10.—The Telegraph's correspondent at Bruges contradicts the German version of the bambardment of the Belgian coast by British airships. He says that 10 German soldiers were killed and 100 wounded at Zeebrugge. The civilians killed, he says, were not residents, but workmen employed by the German military authorities at the submarine port, Two submarines were destroyed by the bombardment. 1NTKKH.K I'KINTING COMPANY, LIU. * SUBSCRIPTION : $1,60 Per Year, in Advance.

British, French, and Russian war orders in Canada, together with those placed by the Canadian government itself, are now valued at 8400,000,000, The middle west is expected to produce crops worth $250,000,000.

American Correspondent Pays Warm Tribute to'.Men From Canadian West, The Canadian troops, particularly those from British Columbia, are regarded in England as supermen, according to Mr. Arno Hosch, co-respondent with the Allies for the World's Work and the New York World, who is in the city today. "You can hardly grasp at this distance what an impression the Canadians have made," said Mr. Dosch this morning. "You have sent a new type of soldier to fight in France, and he is looked upon as some sort of a domi-god. My own experience has been mostly in France, and while all Envlish soldiers are always received there enthusiastically, the Canadians are picked out for distinction even hy civilians. Canadian soldiers walking on the streets of London are also always the object of unusual attention.

As the explorers did not reach Banks land, and as they have not been heard of along the Canadian and Alaskan coast, it was almost the last hope of their friends that the men might have been carried to Siberia on the ice whose drift is steadily westward from the ! mouth of the Mackenzie river.

The kind of life lived here in British Columbia has developed clearheaded, quick-thinking men, who have made the best possible soldiers."

The coun- j spite their efforts to escape they try itself is commonplace enough,' but the intricate trenches have transformed it into the most unusual place imaginable. It looks like some plnce Gulliver might have happened on in his travels. Thc long communication trenches start two or three miles back, and as you go forward to the front line trenches you get under a hotter and hotter fire. Shrapnel is constantly breaking overhead, and the air is full of shells, passing with a curious whirring sound us if thc shells were turning end over on end. At the front line there is a screen of lead constantly passing overhead. Most of this is from the enemy machine guns, but the Canadian line sends it back as hard as it comes. The rifle firing is not so continuous. No one could get bored in a place like that. All the Canadians I have seen there seemed to be enjoying it immensely." Mr. Dosch says that the turn for the great offensive of thc Allies will probably not come until next spring. "By that time," ho snid, "both thc British and French armies will be adequately supplied with ammunition to caqry on a continuous offensive movement for months. Thnt is necessary, and thc amount of ammunition consumed by the artillery is appalling. Fifty thousand shells is not great enough to make one important move, And before Belgium is wrested from the Germans there will be hundreds of conflicts of thnt size.
