H. BOURNE IS MAYOR TODAY Roads in Clearview Debated by City Council The city council last night passed a bylaw authorising the payment of iaM as the mayor's salary for current year. Aid. Bourne was iu Ihe chair and by a resolution ol the' council was appointed acting mayor during the absence of Mayor Foote. Aid Smythe brought up the question of the condition of the cemetery. It was decided to have the long tirass cut, the aldermen being of the opinion that the cemetery was otherwise in better condition than in any previous year. Aid. Smythe asked who gave authority for the building of roads in Clearview on private property. Aid. Bourne replied that the ar- rangement wns made somewhere in the city hall. Aid Mackenrot said that it was arrangad that a ouple ol prisoners bhould make a road to enable teams to turn round, but more had been done. Aid.

When it came to moving the few troops to France extraordinary precautions were taken to mislead the spies. The regiments were not all Iranspcrted from Soutuumpton to Havre. Instead they were shipped from what were really out-of-the-way end inconvenient ports—Bristol, Av- onraouth, Cardiff, Swansea and Barrow, for example—to French ports as far as St. MalO, Brest and even Bor- deaux on the west coast and Marseilles on the Mediterranean. Troop trains were moved at night with drawn blinds. Not even the officers were aware of their ultimate destination—whether it was to be France, Egypt, India ol the Dardanelles. The engine drivers were changed every twenty miles or so and the captains of the troop ships received their final instructions by wireless after they lad put to sea.

[ LOflJ DISTANCE TELEPHONE Ji, The completion of the Dominion government telephone line connecting Revelstoke with the Okanagan and western telephone systems will he of E ibstantial benefit, to the business interests of the city, and will be a much appreciated convenience to all residing in the districts through ■which the line will |iass, and Mr. It. F. Green's announcement that the completion of the line may be ex pected this year will give much satisfaction. The fertile valleys to the west of Revelstoke are being Bet tied by prosjierous farmers. Natural conditions should make them customers of Revelstoke merchants and providers of much of the produce con- Bumed in the city. The completion ol the telephone line will do much to stimulate this interchange ol commodities. It will facilitate the pur chase of goods in Revelstoke and the marketing of the farmer's products and will be no small factor in building up for the city the tributarj cultural ji ipulation on which its future prosperity hugely depends.

AT THE THEATRES SPRAY THE COWS A sudden falling off in the milk supply at this time of year is often caused by Hies. Cows must be cuu- ii'iited, if they give their full yield, and if they have to fisjlit flies all day they ure sure to show the result of their annoyance at milking time. The best way to light Hies is with ii spray pump and some suitable preparation. A carbolic acid or kerosene solutl ii is etlectike, and is not difficult to apply to cattle. It is often tafer to buy some good preparation than to try to mix it yourself.

The highest paid director of motion pictures in the world is D.W. Grittithij who is employed by the Mutual Film Corporation at a salary of $100,000 a year. He gets it because he is worth it, and has the reputation for having produced the only motion picture for which $2.00 bas been charged for orchestra seats, viz. "The Birth of a Nation," now in its fourth mouth at the Liberty theatre, New York. Mr. Griffiths is in many ways responsible for the "Master pictures" now being produced by the Mutual Film Cor- poration, and shown at the 'Rex' theatre here, and bas already directed a number of them himself. He has long recognised the demand of ; he public for "better motion pictures" and the results of his efforts lave proved the correctness of his theory.

The next two nights I was out on Mstenln • pat ■ ■ md the second even mi' I had a m •:l Intoresi Ing t ime i .-pint inr the wire which was broken that communicates with the trench. J'hey had broken it that afternoon with a shell of which more anon and as the break in the wire was directly in front of the break in Ihe trench and as they usually turn a machine gun on theBe breaks and I hen after night-fall they let go a few rounds every once in a while to try and catch a working party Axing them up, I felt none too happy. I ljelieve if they had just started u nachine gun, they would not have needed to hit me I would have just expired anyway. Regarding that shell, I was just getting Blipper for myself and my two mates Kidner and Harold Bur- ;e3s, and had tea boiling on a little fire bucket when they dropped a 'hell just behind ns, the first close tine we had had at that particular point. We were laugh'n? about, it and joshing when another landed in front and then a bunch of dirt fell on te.p of ns. We were standing by the st ive, six of us and another right behind us on sentry duty. He was sitting on a box looking through a periscope and n-aly tn tront of bim there was a double steel plate belonging to a machine gun position. He said, "I guess I had better put this periscope away or we will get it broken," and be stepped off the tiring platform to do it. The next second a shell struck thc front of the parapet and it must have h.t fair on tbis plate I spoke of, for one was split as if it was cut with shears and the other was cracked ris;ht across and I could see the mark where it hit. lt took in about five feet of parapet and we were covered with dirt and a couple of the boys were hit witb bags, but we did not have a single casualty. The nose ol the shell was there in about five pieces, and it lay just about in the centre of the seven of US. It is amusing to see the way a man will lose his head for a few minutes and there were one or two that I believe would have run up Jacob's ladder had it bpen there. We got our equipment out of the dirt and start- ul to clean up the mess. My treasured tea was a mass of mud. We got n bunch of new bags and filled them out of the mess ready to rebuild egain, when it got dark and we were ;ust about finished. Si une of them were filling sacks and piling them and ! was getting a place ready to build i n when we :-ot started, when bingo another one took nnother chunk of < he parnet on' ind split the sand bags we had just filled. It scrntcbed one man's face nnd another man's l and nnd that was all that happened again. We had a number of the boys down from another part of the trench lookine at the damage done by the first shell ,when the second one landed. I mieM remark that they did not temnin. We were relieved that night so did not have to repair the trench, but it wns directly in front of that, that I had to repair the wire. While we were there I had fourteen letters, the tirst I had got for two weeks, anil f hive had one from the ...•iris since then.

ALEX GRANT -«J GOO SAVE THK KING I SATURDAY, JULY 24, 191!). THE MAIL-HERALD. REVELSTOKE PAGB THRH» MANY CAMPS NOW BUSY Prospector Says War Has Revived Mining Interest in Many Gamps With twenty-one British Columbia miners' licenses, Ave from New Zealand, three from the latter provinces to prospect Indian reserves, George Goldsmith is in Vancouver. The two decades or more which he has spent in this province have been chiefly to the Lardo, Slocan and Kootenay districts. "There has been a wonderful revival of interest in mining throughout the whole of the Slocan, Lardo and Kootenay," said Mr, GoldBmith. "The hii;h price of most of tbe minerals caused by the war has resulted in opening up propertiee which for years have lain dormant. American capital is especially prominent in this activity and big profits are already being made by our cousins across the line arising from the war's demands for minerals." Mr. Goldsmith has bonded the Scout group of six claims In' the Fish j <lreek district to Ametican capital-| ists, and has also turned over to i them tbe Big Showing group in the j same district, which is owned by the Leasj> interests of Cranbrook, but which he controls under option. He was the original locator of both properties but sold out bis interests in the latter some years ago, realising J10,0"i; on the deal. With this money he wandered away from British Columbia, went through the Cobalt, porcupine and' Guginda countries, eventually making a trip out over the snow from James Bay on snowshoes and an empty stomach. He' says that while there are some great showings of high-grade silvei ore in the Porcupine and Cobalt districts they are confined to a small area, and nothing looks so good to him for mining today as British Columbia. The Scout property which Mr. Goldsmith has bonded, shows some of the highest grade ore in the province. The black sulphurets und carbonates from (300 to $400 per ton in gold and fl03 in silver.'The property has heen opened up to a certain efl- tent, $10,000 having oeen expended in this direction, and Mr. Goldsmith is now (raiting tor a representative of the bonders to meet him here, the two expecting to outline a plan for future development. in hundreds of thousands of cases men and women regard death with less fear today than they regarded some little fleeting pain in tooth or chest or stomach only ten months ago. It looks as though men were j governed, after all, to some degree by the sense of proportion. They feel that in a sea of deaths to be but another wave is an accident such as is hajipening, or may happen to everymen is all in the day's work rather than a towering tragedy. Many people have always felt that to die in a crowd is far less terrible than to die alone. We have heard people confessing their horror of death by drowning, but adding that they would not hate it so exceedingly if it happened in the course of some great accident when other people were drowning too. This may seem the I extreme of selfishness—this desire of company in death. But we believe it is a common emotion, and it does not really involve so much selfishness ns appears on the surface. Partly it comes from the feeling that it is easier to do things in crowds than alone. With others whose lives have a dramatic cast there is also the sense that they would have a spur to line action if there were spectators. They would have no time for fear in their passion, in the common phrase, t.i play the game to the last. Psychologists have in recent yeurs studied what, are called group-emotions with particular attention: they have .'een , in them the origin of religion and the i arts. Certainly the course of .kery e wnr shows us how group-tearlessn.-ss | may he born. Individuals who may ' have been capable of all sorts of timidity in time of peace become hound together in a league of rour- age in time of war. If death were : not the common lot of the race, but i 1 all except a few of us A-ere immortal, ( 1 how much more terrible would a man's death seem! Even then, we have no doubt many men would be found willing to give their lives for i their country if it were demanded of them. But if a scapegoat were re- ' quired for a nation, would two or I three million men offer themselves for I the lonely horror? It may be that they would, but we doubt it. To be i the only man leaving this beauty of ! the earth would seem a tragedy far beyond dying in a lar.-e battle. Even in the world as it is the majority of men hesitate at first before deciding to give up everything for their country. It is the more adventurous spirits that begin the march, and \ then, one by one, ten by ten, hund- ri'il by hundred, thousand by thousand, the others are drawn Into the ' ranks as by some inevitable fascina- l)n the Biir Showing the values are _, ., , j ... , .. 'ion. There is a contagion of courage mostly in lead, and this makes the! ,. ore desirable to the lead smelters for its fluxing jualities. This ore as a rule assays about 85 per age,' This, however, does not mean that men are not immensely bravar than usual. It means only tbat they are not superhumatily brave. And ytt each of us becomes more and more certain every day that without something like superhuman bravery he can never be free. The spirit will still be in a measure the slave of the body while we are capable of fear. The dream in our hearts is somehow, to break througb the last barrier of fear—to come out, aB someone has said, on the other side of fear. The uselessness of the fear of death is as apparent to us as the sun in tbc sky. Its ignobleness is a thing that haunts all who are subject to it. Whether the love of death as thc deliverer in the spirit of Walt. Whitman is a pas- rion to be cultivated may be doubted. Those who have scorned deathi most, as the great gentlemen of the Renaissance did, saw it none tbe less as the destroyer of the beauty of men's bodies and of the light ot the world as the common man knows it. To the religious mind, which accejits the vision of a real and populated 'olid happier than this beyond the grave, death is no doubt the deliverer. But even to most religious men this world has gathered ahout it all t he clearness of home: death, at its hest, is an exile, a desertion. They have the bravery to die; but their bravery has the sadness of Hector's. And yet, as with Hector, some instinct drives them to despise this death of the body, to accept this exile as more t'i be desired than safety and a man's own hearth and children. Christian, paean, and atheist are at one in this. They feel that the life of the body itself can be fully enjoyed only when the fear of those that kill the body has been utterly overcome. / When using ' WILSONS N FLY PADS - READ DIRECTIONS K CAREFULLY AND ^>x.FOLLOW THEM/ THK HORSE COLORING It is found that there is a very definite connection between the color of horses and the frequency with •vhich white markings occur. Thus the latter are by far the most commonly accociated with tbe chestnut color. And not only are they the ■irevalent in chestnut horses, but it is also a well-known fact that the markings are apt to be more ex- tended in the case of this color than in that of any other.

Then follows brown. while they are met with less frequently among black and roan horses. rent, lead and >t>7 in silver. Mr. Goldsmith states that the Heber an'i Criterion properties in tne Cambourae district will soon be working on a large scale under the management of Nelson people who | have recently secured control. There nre two stamp mills now on tbe I ground, each of ten stamps, and it is the intention to build one mill of much larger capacity. On Poole Creek there has been a rich strike. The ore is silver-lead, and operations are being steadily i prosecuted. The property belongs to Messrs. Dr.'w ami Boyd, the latter being the owner of Halcyon Hot Bprlngs on Arrow Lake. The ore roines out for shipment to Benton station on the Upper Arrow Lake. The Silver Cup mine, the famous property of Trout Lake, has been bonded to an American syndicate. This is the property which In the early days shipped so much high- grade ore, When the bond was closed i.iys Mr Goldsmith, the bonders laughed at the development which had heen done. This consisted of shafts em top of a mountain, and the ! present holders are driving a tunnel | which will tap the lead at a depth .if at least 1000 f»ct, enabling them to eliminate the rawhide haul and ship both summer and winter. Thr \'' mine In the same district is also again working, FEAR NOT THEM THAT KILL THE BODY (Tlif 'New Statesman,' London) One of thc most noticeable results of the war has been the general diminution of the fear of death. It is only a comparatively few years since Meredith wai bewailing the degeneracy if the modern Englishman on the ground that be was growing afraid ol death and wounds.

REVELSTOKE FAGB nV» WAR SIFTS OUT THE INCOMPETENT LEADERS South Africa, tliey used to say, is the graveyard o£ military reputations. If for Bouth Africa we substitute the word "war" we shall arrive at a profounder truth, although it is to say no more than to assert that in iiniiieH and navies there are fakers and four-tlushcrs, just us there ace self-seekers and hypocrites in holy orders. Looking at the army in time of war we do not reudily understand, perhaps, how it is that men without capacity us leaders aud without courage as soldiers obtain high commands. If we reflect that the average array is at jieuce forty years to one year at war it will lie plain that a man with no more military spirit than a chipmunk, if he has Influence enough, 'or is clever enough at an- swering questions, may rise to high command, and as a general or a field marshal receive such honors as were showered upon Wellington; for in time of peace, as in time of war, promotions must le made, and one nan placed above another. The Acid Test. In the racing world there are dorses that have been described With the name of "Morning Glories," after the (lower which blossoms like a peony before the sun is up, and .shrinks into a mere weed later in the day. That is to S'ly, there are horses that will dive wonderful trials in training and absolutely quit when they are called on to run for money. 80 there are generals who will ably direct sham battles, and who ure steeped in the science of war, who will prove sad disappointments when the blank cartridges are displaced by iiigh explosive shells. In the present -war there are many examples of men who stood high in the military profession who have been unable to stand the test of actual lighting, and who have been retired, despite their powerful influences. The most recent and perhaps the most notable instance is that of Gen. Soukhomlinow, the Russian minister of war, who hus resigned. Though he was one of the chief organizers of the Russian army, he was blamed by the Grand Duke Nicholas for the shortage of munitions. Russian Retirements. The minister had to retire, though whether through incompetence upon is part, or because the Grand Duke wished to establish an "alibi," will be known only after the war is over. "In Russia another noted fighting gen- ration has been relegated to a position of unimportance, and that, curiously enough, is ths one Russian ceneral who made for himself a name in the Russo-Japanese war, Rennen- kampf. On the outbreak of the present war he was placed In command of the First Army Corps, and inflicted a crushing defeat upon the Germans on the banks of the Niemen. A jew weeks later, however, he failed so arrive with his army at a time ind place indicated by the Russian generalissimo, and thus helped to render futile one of the most Important Strategic moves in the Russian campaign. He was relieved of his DOmmand and sent back to Petrograd, Yon Moltke Superseded. Gen. Savinofl is reported to have blown out his brains because he was :ejiroached by the Grand Duke with failure to carry out certain operations entrusted to him. The most notable German general to fall lu 'he war is undoubtedly Field Marshal Helmutb von Moltke, nephew of the great von Moltke, who was chief of the German ireneral start when the ■war broke out. It would be unfair to assume tli.it the fault was von Mol- tke's, and in the absence of an of- ieial statement it is assumed that he was retired because he disagreed with tho Kaiser's plans for the capture of Calais, at whatever cost. I Some critics assert that if the Ger- I mans had not been bo determined to ' seize Calais, carried away as they were from sound strategy by their desire to strike at England, their drive on Paris would huve had better 1 results. At any rate von Moltke is now in disgrace, and bis place has been taken by Gen. von Falkenhayn, a court favorite. Joflre Cleans House. On account of the rigid German censorshi|) we do not know whether other noted generals have been discredited, In France, however, it is an open, secret that Joflre has retired hundreds of generals, and hus filled their places with men for the most part older, but considerably abler. In the early days of thc war French attacks upon the Gem.an army were almost uniformly unsuccessful, and it became plain to Joflre, if to no one else, that his army wus badly led. Tbere followed his retreat, which aided only when the Marne was reached, but in the meantime it is said that, li" hud been able to s ert out bis lieutenants, nnd had decided who would be retired and who would be promoted. Before that deciding battle was fought he had relieved Bome ll.ii of his higher oflicers of their commands, and had replaced •hem, for the most part, with generals who had been retired on account • J their age, The battle of the Marne was fought, therefore, under new generalshiji, and this battle marked the turn of the tide. Since tb'n Frrnc;- has made few changes. The right men, we may assume, have been tound. INVISIBILITY OF MILITARY UNIFORMS In Trenches JtritiHli Khaki Could Not Be Improved L'pon—Soliliera Kemuiu I'nseen "Another day it will, perhaps, ue worth while to write a series of of thumbnail sketches, having for their object some suggestion of tne different color-schemes of the various phases and situations of the war," writes a correspondent of The Doily Chronicle. "For, after the first purpose of an army, which is to put the enemy out of action, the most important aim is not to be put out of action itself. Consequently, the object of every man, horse and machine is to sink into the background as far as possible. It was probably clear to Macaulay's schoolboy, even before he became one, that such was the purpose of khaki and that invisibility doubles the power that a force possesses both of attack and defence. I havc myself motored up to a long, high, somewhat crumbling, ochreous brick wall running at right angles to our direction, and I have seen at a distance of less than 200 yards, the lower part of the wall suddenly form fours and march out Into the road. Not a man in the car guessed that the lower half of the wall »as half a battalion in khaki. In the trenches the color used by the English is us near perfection as it well c.mld be. The man is, of reitirse, practically invisible from the level of the ground, and from an aeroplane the more men that there are in the trenches the less clearly can the trenches he seen. On the other hand, we have learned that we had been far too hasty in supposing that in adopting khaki we showed so much more prudence than our French allies, who for the most part are still uniformed In lon^ dark blue eoats and loose crimson trousers of a hue which is known technically as "garance." For, although at certain distances, I believe, khaki is far less conspicuous, warfare is rarely carried on at those distances, while for some purposes, especially night-work, the French uniform has advantages which we are obliged to imitate by a device of our own. With the approach of summer some slight changes in our defensive tints arc possible, and they are now being carried out. It is the truth that many of our men have eone through months ot the war, have been wounded and sent down to the base, and have returned and have served again for more months, and yet in all that time they have never seen even the tip of a German helmet. To such a pitch has tbe art been brought of rendering every arm of a force in the field invisible tbat there appears at first sight to be an almost total lack of nnimation—almost of animal life—along those near nnd elos'lv-welded hostile trenches from which there comes, either incessantly or at carefully chosen timet the storm of steel of which some small percentage is sure, sooner or later, to take toll of our men. As the summer has filled and colored the fields and trees, the German grey- green khaki is found to be not as inconspicuous as out sandier tint. Indeed, nothing is more impressive than to tind that what seemed in the fading evening to be but some open expanse of ruins by the roadside arched over by full-foliaged trees and marked here with the wreckage of half-burned hayracks or sheds, Is in reality a densely crowded area, in which strange outlines take unexpect-. ed shajie as hune road engines with 12 ft. wheels, or "caterpillars" aB mighty as they are uncouth, or lorries half-ter.ted over by the score, or lighter convoys by the dozen—all ranked most orderly, each with its crew beside it, overhauling and checking the carriages and their contents in low tones, as though the enemy were 2<)>, instead of 2,000 yards away. A hundred yards on you look back, and the great concentration has once more become a mere feature of the landscape, while your car is almost upon an invisihle tramping of men, whom you cannot for the life of you distinguish from the dusty road. Whether in dry weather or in wet, the army seems equally invisible, and one of the most difficult things to realize is that along and ahout this wide flat land of Flanders, and Its fast-ripeninc fields, there is bestowed such an army as Eneland in all its long history never assembled thc tithe of. Believe me, unless you know where to look, you will see more fizhtine men in London any week-day without goine three miles from Charing Cross than you are likely to mee": in three days' fast motoring about the roads of northern France. It is hardly too much to say that, for most purposes, the two huge masses of contendine men that line the western front are invisible, not merely to each other, but largely to themselves as well. Nelson had 191ii-grown celery on the market nn July 7. Some Kelowna ranchers claim to bave oats and spring wheat seven feet high.
