C, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14th, 1914. $3 PER ANNUM LL NEW WAR FID OF ONE BIUIN DOLLARS TO DE WED Fire Sweeps Whole Block in Business Section of Fort George Hotel Fort George and Annex, Scott's Hotel, Oliver's Pool Room, Kennedy & Blair's Store, and other Buildings wiped out One Life lost. - - Property Loss about $235,000 The most damaging fire that ever visited the district occured at about 2 o'clock Friday morning when the northernmost block on Central Avenue, Fort (leorge, was burned to the ground. The fire originated at or near the Fort George Hotel Annex in an unknown manner, One of the theories as to its origin is that a barrel of oil exploded near the Boiler room. An explosion was distinctly felt by several occupants of the hotel. Dick Spence, a well known steam-shovel engineer, was the one victim of the fire, his body being found among the ruins and interred by the Fort George Undertaking Co. on Friday afternoon. A number of occupants of the Fort George Hotel had close calls, reaching the street by the Fire escapes of the building in their night gowns, loosing all their posessions. Mr. Scott of the Scott Hotel, being located on the southern portion of the block, was able to save all his furniture. Considerable stock of the various stores was also saved. The following is a list ,of the business houses effected, together with some of the approximate losses: Hotel Fort George and Annex, loss $135,000; insurance $90,000. Hunter's Barber shop, no insurance. James & Co., Clothiers, loss $4,000; no insurance, Oliver's Pool Room, loss $8,000 with $4,000 insurance. Building owned by C.W.Moore. Moore's Hall occupied second floor. J. P. Robertson, Clothier, loss $7,500. Owner of building, C. W. Moore. Loss $5,000. No insurance on either. Fort George Realty & Securities, Loss $3,000; no insurance. James ;\:cLean, Confectionery. Loss $1 500; no insurance. Kennedy, Blair & Co,, Dry Goods and Groceries, stock loss $6,000; insurance $4,500. Pastime Pool Room, estimated loss $5,000. L. B. Thorn Building, (vacant); loss $4,000. Bank of Vancouver, loss $6,0000; insurance not known. Scott's Hotel, loss $7,000; insurance $2,ooo. FYFE NEW CONCRETE BLOCK SURVIVES. The advantage of concrete was once more proved when the fire burned itself out against the north wall of the new-fireproof Fyfe building, just completed. Although the fire and heat were intense from the adjoining Scott Hotel, the fireproof building proved itself worthy of this term, only one window being cracked. Great credit must be given the boys who fought the fire on the north side of Hammond Street. Some of the fronts were badly gutted, especially of the Royal Bank; but the flames were checked and the buildings saved. New Commercial Telegraph G. T. P. and P. G. E. Latest War Despatches Rockefellers to Feed Starving Poor of Belgium The following statement has been sent out by the Rockefeller Foundation, as authorized by John D. Rockefeller jr., its president: "It having become clear that one of the most terrible and appealing effects of the war will fall upon the non-combatants - those most innocent of anv part in the cause or the conduct of the conflict — the Rockefeller Foundation has determined to exert itself to the extent, if nec- cesary, of millions of dollars for the relief of non-combatants in the various countries involved, "This action is taken as a natural step in fulfilling the chartered purposes of the foundation, namely, 'to promote the well- being of mankind throughout the world.' "The Foundation encountered considerable difficulty in finding a capacious vessel, and the pressure upon the market for foodstuffs was such that it was impossible to comply exactly with Ambassador Page's suggestions as to proportions. To fill and despatch the ship called for an expenditure of about $275,000. "Therefore, the Massapequa of the New York and Porto Rico Steamship Company sailed direct to Rotterdam, Holland, laden with 4,000 tons of supplies, consigned to the American Consul." The cargo consists of: 28,000 barrels of flour. 14,000 packets (100 pounds each) of rice, 3,000 bags (200 pounds each) of beans. 1,000 boxes (100 pounds each) of bacon. "The British Consul," the statement goes on, "has kindly agreed to certify that these supplies are absolutely for the aid of non-combatants and should not be delayed in transit. Another Cargo to Follow Rockefellers The American Committee on Belgian Relief at London was informed by the Burgomaster of Limbourg that the bread line of his town had been abandoned, owing to the exhaustion of the supply of foodstuffs. The com- j mittee was advised that the Rockefeller Foundation wase shipping a cargo of food and that! cargoes were also on the way from Halifax, the gift of Nova Scotia, and Australia, and that a food ship was to leave New York in a few days, The name of the doner of this last cargo was not made public by the committee. South Africa The South African rebels have been completely defeated. This was unavoidable. The revolution was of an exotic nature, having been organized by the Germans in the hope that it would spread. But Great Britain has managed the Boer problem since the defeat of the Transvaal Uitlanders with such genius that there was little raw material out of which to create an issue. It was thc Teuton inability to understand such a revulsion of feeling that made the Germans optimistic of involving the union in a civil strife. That it would fail was expected by all who have studied the policy of the British in dealing with the racial problemlin the South African colonies. Service to and from Prince Rupert over G. T. P. Lines The Grand Trunk Pacific Telegraph Company announce that on Thursday November 12th, their commercial telegraph service to and from Prince Rupert was inaugurated. The following new offices were opened on that date, all located in British Columbia, west of Prince George: Bednesti, Burns Lake. Endako, Hazelton, Kitwanga, Marten Lake, Moricetown, New Hazel- town, Pacific, Shames, Smithers, Terrace, Tyee, Vanderhoof, Walcott, Wedgwood. The inauguration of this service reduces considerably the cost of telegraphic communication to and from points in question. The first message to be transmitted was one from the Mayor of Prince Rupert addressed to the Mayor of Winnipeg, reading as follows: Prince Rupert, B. C. Nov. 12, 1914. T. R. Deacon, •Mayor Winnipeg. The city of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, through me as mayor sends greetings on the inauguration of the Grand Trunk Pacific Commercial Telegraph service from this city to Winnipeg. Prince Rupert views this connection as a most important step towards more closely binding the province with this northern part of the dominion; more particularly coming, as it does, at such an important crisis in the history of our Empire when it is so important that all Canada should act as a unit. S. M. Newton, Mayor. This message was filed at Prince Rupert at 10:10 a.m„ Central time, and received at Winnipeg 10:15 a.m. At 11:03 a.m. Mayor Deacon filed the fol- owing reply: Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 12,1914. S, M. Newton, Mayor Prince Rupert. The city of Winnipeg heartily reciprocates your kind greetings on the inauguration of the Grand Trunk Pacific Telegraph Service. We trust that this may lead to the opening of a great volume of new traffic between the Pacific Coast and the Orient and our own city. May the completion of this new great highway of commerce lead to the early development not only of the Interior of Northern British Columbia but to the prosperity of all Canada and to the advantage of the Empire at large. T. R. Deacon, Mayor. This message was transmitted at 11:09 a.m. and promptly delivered to Mayor Newton at Prince Rupert. Officials On Way To Prince George Developments of importance are looked for in a few days on the arrival of J. W. Stewart, President, and Pat Welch, Contractor and builder of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, who will meet Morley Donaldson, Vice- President and General Manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific and other officials of that road, here and at Prince George. It is expected that both parties will meet here by Sunday. The following week on the 23rd the Board of Railway Commissioners will meet here to settle the Station Site question, and it is freely predicted that very important matters connected with the G. T, P. and P. G. E. railways, and the development work of Prince George, and the two railways in this vicinity, will be announced. Practical Side of "Back to Mother Earth" Scheme Now under Way Under the name of the Alberta Farm & Colonization Company, Limited, with a capitalization of $150,000, divided into 1,000 pref- erance shares of $100 each and 50,000 common of $1.00 each, a group of members of the Alberta legislature and other prominent "back-to-the-landers" have incorporated. The purpose of the company is to buy unimproved farms, stock them, put them under production and sell them at one-tenth down to actual settlers on the crop payment plan. The company states that it has already secured many partially improved farms which it will be prepared to place in the hands of settlers at an early moment, and it has managed to secure an arrangement by which it re-discounts a large percentage of its capital outlay, thereby making it possible to carry on business on a much larger scale than the amount named as capital would imply. The company says the crying need is to get settlers on the land. The average settler upon coming to the country is,short of funds and is therefore unable to buy an improved farm situated close to railroad and market fa cilities. This necessitates his taking up a free homestead. In order to do this, he must locate in outlying districts, perhaps a hundred miles from a railroad, in order to get good land, as all available homesteads close to railroads are already taken up. What the provinces need most of all is the settlement of lands close to markets.

New Contingent to be Raised London.—Austrian main army in Galicia in retreat before Russians. Must give decisive battle or surrender. Two Austrian divisions have been annihilated along the river Pruth, according to despatch from Bucharest. A despatch to Reuter's from Petrograd states that news of the beginning of a battle at Crakow is momentarily expected. The Germans have been digging trenches and erecting barbed wire entanglements along the whole Russian-German frontier. It is understood, however, that their main plan is to retire to their fortresses, Konigsberg, Loetzen, Posen, Bomberg and others. An official Pretoria despatch states that Gen. Botha came into contact with Rebel Gen. DeWitt commando 24 miles east of Winburg Orange River Colony after a forced night march. The rebels were severely defeated, 2E0 being taken prisoners. Battle Flanders still far from decision. London.-Lloyd George addressing Free Church assembly said he hoped call for additional large contingent of men would be made in a few days. Every country and town would be given quota to raise. Government expected soon to float largest loan in history, possibly two hundred million pounds. Petrograd.—Turkish cruiser Goe- ben penetrated by shell ut waterline during bombardment of Dardanells by Anglo-Freneh fleet. Refugees from Constantinople report state of things there appaling. Armenians chief victims of atrocities, but all Christians and foreigners in danger. London.—A Rome despatch says Germany, alarmed at Russian suc cesses, has made preliminary offers of peace to Russian Government whieh have been rejected. Loudon.—Russia dominates military situation today. Speed with which she has cleared invadeas of i Poland expected to have great effect in western theatre. Allies occupy German Territory in Alsace, and East Prussia. Railway Commission to Sit at Prince George The Secretary of the South Fort George Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday last received the following telegram from A. D. Cartwright, Secretary to the Board of Railway Commission: Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 9th, 1914. Board will hold Sitting Prince George, B.C. Monday, November Twenty-third, ten o'clock forenoon to consider application to change location of station at Prince George. A. D. Cartwright, Sec'y. B. R. C This means that the subject _f the site for the Prince George passenger station will once more be gone into, this time on the ground by the Railway Commission, and that the people of the district will ha., a chance to be heard on the subject. The Railway Commission give ample notice of their coming in fair and open fashion; and without doubt a free and open discussion and submission of statements of facts will be welcomed by the Com nission to ass'st in disposing of this vexing queition. Praise Indian Troops London. — The official press bureau pays a tribute to the bravery of the Indian troops now serving in France and Belgium, saying that they are performing a great work notwithstanding the fact that the nature of the country in which they are fighting is entirely different from that to which they are accustom- eJ. General French, commander- in-chief of the forces in the field, has expressed himself as greatly pleased with the bearing of these troops and has sent the following message to the Indian corps commander: "Please congratulate your gallant Indian troops on their gallant conduct and express my gratitude to them." Russian Victories It is apparent that Russia has won its campaign to overcome the effects of the vigorous advance of the Teutons during the last month. At the beginning of the war the Czar's troops overran East Prussia and took po- session of nearly all Galicia. Then the Austrians, reinforced by immense numbers of German troops beat back the Russians so rapidly that it seemed as though all Poland would be conquered. But the tide turned and Russia seems to have recovered most of its lost ground and put her antagonists on the defensive, The see-saw of victory and defeat probably will rise and fall many times before the war is decided; but the Allies will win. Boosting B. ('. Natural Resources A unique form of advertising the natural resources of British Columbia with special reference to the products of the forest has been adopted ly the provincial government in the form of a small piece of 3-ply B. C. fir, about the size of an ordinary business caid, bearing printed information on both sides. One side contains the following: British Columbias population is 539,850. Its production in 1913 was valued as follows: Agriculture, $24,000,000; lumber, $30,000,000; mining, $30,000,000; fisheries, $15,000,000; manufactures, $45,000,000. The other side bears the following information: The annual cut of timber in British Columbia amounts to 2,000,000,000 feet. There are 794 logging camps and 425 mills employing 60,000 men. These produce lumber, lath, shingles, poles, masts, spars, railway ties, boxes, barrels, wood pipe, pulp, street paving, sash, doors, veneer, etc. British Columbia has the greatest stand of shingle material in the world. The annual cut exceeds 2,000,- 000,000 shingles. One hundred and twenty-five new shingle machines were installed in 1914.— Canadian Lumberman. Office in south fort uuukuk.

It is creditable to the Commission that they appreciate that possibly they have not ordered wisely in the matter and the extent of ordering the station moved to a point some distance west of its first location, and in a spot totally unfit for the purpose, and where the people of FortGeorge as well as those from the eastern and southern sections of the town would he inconvenienced both as to distance and expense of hauling passengers, freight, baggage and express to the town proper, by reason of grades; reducing the loading capacity, and at increased cost to the actual load hauled out of the hole in which the dejiot was order- eel.

Now he is distributing iron crosses to his fifteen sons — is il fifteen or fifty ? Every iron cross means a black deed. And in the ambulance train I suppose the Kaiser wears tin.' uniform of the Red Cross. Yet there is one uniform, thank God, which the Kaiser will never wear again —It is that of a British Field-Marshal. With so many uniforms to change into—beginning with the Death's Head of his favorite Hussars and ending with that of a mininster of religion, the religion of greed and niurdei—you will understand that the Kaiser is a very busy man. Vet with all his activities by day the Kaiser cannot sleep by night. He is. worse off than his unfortunate soldiers iu the trenches, who do sometimes snatch a couple of hours at a lime.

This is a wise plan for children's clothing, for even if their clothes do catch fire, which is not at all improbable, they will burn without any flame. If Japanese lanterns have a little silver sand put in the bottom to give them weight, there will be little danger of the whole thing catching fire, as the candle is held firmly in position.

A novel stand can be made in the following way: Procure an old piece of drain pipe and some broken ornaments, vases etc, of various colors. Break the broken article into small pieces. Give, the drain pipe a coat of white 1^ lead and putty mixed, then stick the pieces of china and glass all over it. arranging them to form an artistic design. When quite dry and hard give it a coat of varnish, which gives a polish and enables it to be easily cleaned. When cutting new bread, dip the knife in warm water.

During tbe summer, wlien children spend their days in the open, the incidence of scarlet fever and diphtheria is much less than during the inclement months, when so many are brought together in the schools and in their own homes.

Rusty irons can be made beautifully smooth by rubbing them when hot upon a piece of beeswax tied in a cloth, and then upon a cloth sprinkled with salt. If curtains are allowed to dry thoroughly before being starched, it will be found that they will last clean longer. For rusty curtain hooks, place them in a bowl and cover with cloudy ammonia. Leave for half lvjan hour, and then just stir them around with a stick. The hooks will look like new. If the points are difficult to put through the fabric, push them into a bar of soap, and they will slip in quite easily.

Dated thiB 23rd dav of October 1914. (Sgd) ALBERT JOHNSON, 10-24-5t. Applicant It will probably surprise you, said a retired colonel of Hussars, to learn that a cavalry horse usually enjoys a battle at least as much as his rider, and displays as much courage in it. He will chafe and stamp with impatience while waiting the order to charge, and at the signal will dash forward like a greyhound released from the lash, full of; ( With the object of millions of acres under tion that are now raw and with a view seed and breeding placing cultiva- prairie, to providing animals for fire and fury, and often neighing last wcek needy farmers, as well as to find work for the unemployed in tlie cities, help feed the allied armies and pay Canada's trade balance, a conference of delegates from all Canada met in Winnipeg jr.

At the moment of con tact with the enemy he will rear, striking and biting savagely at the opposing horses and trampling down the infantry. When his rider falls, he will dash along with his fellows and crash as gallantly into the foe. In the famous charge of the Light Brigade, scores of riderless horses swept down the "Valley of Death," .thundering through the smoke on to the Russian guns, and galloped back to safety with the shattered remnant of the few braves that returned. Many a fine steed has put his rider right when he has mistaken an order, and has gone faultlessly through a manoeuvre in spite of the efforts of his mistaken master to make him do the wrong thing. Training the War-Horse. No, the process of training is neither long nor difficult. The first thing is to accustom the horse to the sound of firing at close quarters. With this object he is put on the ground with his legs tied, and while in this position a pistol is fired close to his ear, over his back, between his legs, and so on, until his fear is overcome. After a few such lessons it is safe to mount him with a bridle furnished with a curb-bit, and under this control he is taught to stand still while a pistol or carbine is fired from his back — the latter naturally coming last, as both hands are required in using this weapon.

In battle the cavalry horse faces even a greater risk of death or disablement than his rider, although the gallant animal rarely gets any of the laurals of war. His danger, however, is by no means so great as it was. Good Morning! We Are Introducing American Silk American Cashmere American Cotton-Lisle HOSIERY They have stood the lest.

The following incident is related in a liussian paper printed in New York: An Austrian General was very anxious to see a "Kosack", having heard of them a great deal. His regiment was promptly instructed to capture one and take him to the General for inspection. A few days later a Kosack was captured and brought before the General. Thei.'eneral thereupon gave the prisoner a sword _ i and waited to see what he would do, himself remaining seated on his horse. The Kosack as quick as lightning jumped on to the same horse the General was riding and galloped with him to the Russian camp, where the situation when explained created great amusement. It appears the Austrian soldiers were afraid to shoot for fear of hitting their A plan somewhat colossal in its aspects was suggested by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association and the representatives of the Boards of Trade as well as delegates representing farmers' organizations in Canada. The farmers' organizations are allied under the name of the Canadian Council of Agriculture and embrace the Grange of Ontario and the Grain Growers' Associations of Western Canada. Briefly, the proposal is that the Dominion Government be asked jointly by the agricultural, transportation, banking and manufacturing interests of Canada to finance a scheme having in view the objects outlined above. The farmers are surely coming into their own. Not only has the Canadian Manufacturers' Association joined with the allied farmers' organizations of the Dominion to place millions of acres of new land under cultivation, but they are now discussing the physical comfort of the farmers, and the methods of securing greater production from the soil. It is contemplated to ask the Dominion Government for a grant of 51,000.000 to be used in increasing the wheat acreage of the west. It is said the plan proposed is to loan this monev to farmers who are at present on the land, full security to be taken for it and the return payments on the loan extended over a term of years, The farmers in their turn will be expected to take the unemployed out of the cities and put them to work preparing the new areas for seeding.

In the eighteenth century 150 horses fell in battle for every 100 men; from 1800 to 1865 the proportion had fallen to 120; and in more recent wars the ratio has been approximately 112 horses to 100 men. In some charges, however, the proportion has been greater, as in that of the Light Brigade, in which eighty more horses than men sacrificed their lives. But while the war-horse seldom gets credit for his prowess and devotion, there have been happily a few cases in which he has shared his master's glories — among them Lord Roberts' pretty little Arab, Volonel, who carried him in the famous march from Kabul to Kandahar, and round whose neck, at Queen Victoria's express wish, he hung the Kabul medal, with four clasps, and the bronze Kandahar star.

The giant stick will be carried on deck. Tokio is celebrating with an outburst of popular enthusiasm the Tsing Tau victory. The vice minister of the navy states that the Japanese will hold Tsing Tau until the war is over, when she will "open negotiations" with China. * It is suggested that the Japanese will now inaugurate an of fensive naval campaign on the Pacific, employing the fleet released from the bombardment of Tsing Tau in an attempt to run down the (lerman warships which wrought such havoc to British shipping and defeated the British fleet off Chile. After desperate assaults in which the Japanese, in the face of heroic resistance, rivalled the bravery of their forces at Port Arthur, Tsing Tau surrendered. Governor Mayer- Waldeck, following the hoisting of white flags on the forts, sent an officer with a flag of truce to the Anglo- Japanese lines. The Japansse and German officers opened a conference at Moltke barracks when the formalities of capitu- latifln were concluded. The Japanese pay unstinted tribute to the bravery of the Germans who fought to the last. Unofficial reports are that the Germans blew up what was left of their forts before surrendering and practically the whole town is in ruins. A Japanese torpedo boat flotilla that entered the bay found that all the ships had been destroyed. British took an important part in the victory and two British officers were wounded. No statement of the German casualties is available, but it is believed that they were heavy.
