The Morrissey Mention OFFICIAL ORGAN "E" AND "H" COMPANIES 107th EAST KOOTENAY REGIMENT. Number Ten. FERNIE, B. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1910. PRICE FIVE CENTS CAPTURED BY CHIEF OF PROVINCIAL POLICE DRYDEN, OF WALDO, B. C Great credit is due to Chief A. Dryden of the provincial police, of Waido, B.C., for his splendid initiative and resource in locating and capturing the two prisoners of war—Nos. 277 and 295—who escaped on Friday morning last from Morrissey internment camp. About 9 a.m. the two men, who were trusted orderlies doing fatigue work, walked over to the back of the buildings they were working at with pails of rubbish to empty. They never came back but disappeared in the nearest brush and when the alarm was given they were well out of sight. A search party was scattered about the camp in every direction and by noon the entire section in the immediate neighborhood was covered. The search was continued on Saturday and parties were out all night, but no word was received until Sunday morning when a message come over the wires from Waldo, B.C., that one man was captured by Chief Dryden and was already in the cells, whilst the other was located in the immediate vicinity. An armed detail under the able leadership of Lieut. R. Dunbar Abbott set off for Waldo in a fast motor, Sergeant-Major Minton driving, and in less than fifty minutes they were at the scene of the arrest of one man and the discovery of the other. Waldo is twenty-four miles from Morrisey and one hour after the arrival of the car both men were in the cells. The escaped prisoners were camped close to the jail at Waldo on Sunday morning and were fetching a pail of water when Constable Dryden spotted them. He did not have his gun at the time but soon armed himself and secured one of the men, then he located the other and as soon as Lieut. Abbott arrived he sent two men up a draw to the left and one man to the right, posting another of the 107th at the railway station, where there was a train standing. The escaped prisoner headed across the hillside through the thick brush towards the station but was soon headed off by Sergt. Carter and Lieut. Abbott and narrowly escaped being shot as he was covered by both close to some old shacks where he took refuge under a log. The actual capture took place about a mile south of the school house and the police station just above the flats on the Elk river on the way to Phillip's bridge. The drive to Morrissey camp was done in record itme and the two men in cells by three o'clock. The search party under Lieut. R. Abbott consisted of Sergeant-Major Minton, Sergeant Harry Carter, Sergeant Wildman, Corporal Ross and Private McCormick.

PRIVATES ROBERT AND HAROLD MINTON Two sons of Sergeant-Major and Mrs. Minton, 107th, E.K.R., Morrissey camp, who are now in France with the mechanical transports. Robert joined the 13th C. M. R.s and was transferred later to the Canadian Artillery, Battery 20. His brother Harold enlisted in Fernie with the first not so long ago working in the District Ledger office as printer's devil. Sergt. Cecil Minton of the 107th is another son of a fighting family of loyal Britishers. We are proud to be able to reproduce a picture of the youngest Minton in khaki, "Lance- Corpl." Jackie Minton, in a striking and characteristic attitude beside his very own teepee. He is the 3-year-old son of Sergt.

Curiously enough, they met their cousin Henry, of the 54th, in the trenches. Private Henry Minton was LCE.-CORPL. T. W. SHORTHOUSE We regret that the cut of Lance- Corporal Shorthouse has been delayed in transit but hope to reproduce it soon. He is a Fernie boy, well known and well liked. He left the coal city June 11th, 1915, with the 54th Batt. to Vernon camp and thence to England last November, and is now serving with the 2nd Batt., No. 2 Co., 1st Brigade in France. He was formerly a clerk in J. D. Quail's commodious hardware store, where he had been employed for over three years. He is one of a large family who live in West Fernie, his father being the owner of the principal dairy business of that part of the city. Seven in Khaki Morrissey camp, the 107th E. K. R. and indeed all British Columbia should be proud of a family with the magnificent record of self-sacrifice that Pte. W. G. Clark, of Victoria, B.C., and his sons and daughters possess. Private Clark is an Englishman vho.^e home is in the capital city. He enlisted with the 102nd Kamloops Regiment last May and was sent to Edgewood internment camp, being transferred to "E" Co., 107th East Kootenay Regiment last month and is now a member of the guard at Morrissey. Private Clark's oldest son, Jack G. Clark, was living in Washington, D. C, when the war broke out and was engaged, through the French Embassy there, with the armoured train service of the French army. He has been in many hot engagements but has been missing for some months. We are privileged to produce a photo of another son, Pte. Chuck Clark, taken at Vernon, B.C. His is the head at the bottom of the picture. He enlisted with the 54th Batt., C. E. F., now in France, and was wounded at St. Eloi, June 15th. Chuck played school in Vancouver, B. C, and now nursing our wounded troopers at the Casino, Bologne, France, is a daughter of Private W. G. Clark, 107th E. K. R., and like her brothers is doing noble work. A married daughter, Mrs. Widdi- field, lives in Honolulu, H. I., where she is a school teacher. This is a great record and one for our guardsman to be proud of. We are sorry we cannot also reproduce a photograph of the father of this patriotic family. had never heard of the 'six weeks peace.' He said: 'It was like this: When the wet weather hit us last fall our trenches were water to the knees, our dug-outs were made almost impossible, and it was simply a terror to get around at all, and fighting was out of the question. " 'This went on until Christmas day, 1914, when Fritz came out on top | and signalled a Merry Christmas, and I our boys were not slow to accept the ■ challenge. Pretty soon along the two | mile front both parties were shaking hands and exchanging Christmas I cheer. The Germans had all kinds of good things, including beer—and good beer it was too—while we had tobacco and cigarettes to burn. Well, both sides had a swell day of it and when it came to taking to the water again a deep gloom settled over all. Suddenly somebody suggested a truce until the trenches could be put in decent shape and everybody jumped at the chance. There were some large brick yards in the vicinity and it was not long before both sides were busy. " 'For six weeks not a shot was fired with serious intent on this front and we were able to put our trenches and dug-outs in their present fine shape. " 'You understand that this was all done more or less on the quiet, but it finally leaked out and somebody began to ask foolish questions in the House of Commons, and the result was that one day orders came that the war must be resumed. An officer went over to interview Fritz and broke the sad news to him. He wanted to know 'Why things couldn't go on as usual until the dry weather started. We have made our trenches habitable; why destroy them '?' "Our officer returned in sore perplexity. The next day Fritz appeared in plain sight and of course we could not shoot in cold blood. Our officer went over again and told him that 'the war was on.' Fritz only laughed, whereupon our officer drew his gun and shot the Saxon officer in the leg and the war was on.'

Orderly Sergeant Harold Clark, of the 48th Battalion, scout division, Victoria, B.C., was wounded last April and is now convalescing at Epsom, the scene of many Derby days. His photo speaks for itself. He looks a fine fellow and we hope he will soon be fit again. Sergt. Leo Clark, now at Hawkins, Kent, enlisted with the 5th Regiment at Kamloops, B.C., and was at Val- cartier and Salisbury plains. He spent two winters in the trenches but was wounded at Festubert on the 24th of last May. He is now training engineers in trench work in England with the 5th Brigade Field Engineering staff. Private Cecil Clark, another member of this splendid family, is somewhere in France with the Army Medical Corps, and letters received a month ago gave good news of his health. Miss Ethel Clark, formerly teaching PTE. H. S. CHESTON 1st Overseas Batt., Canadian Pioneers Private Cheston, whose wife and family live in Morrissey, B.C., was born in Warwickshire, England. He came to Canada in 1910. One of his brothers has served in France and at Salonika as a gunner in the Imperial army. He is now on sick leave in England. Our Private Cheston left Morrissey on the 20th of last May 107th HEADQUARTERS Creston is now the official headquarters of the 107th Kootenay Regiment, the transfer from Fernie taking place the fore part of the week. The old provincial jail building on Fourth street is being utilized as an armory. Major Mallandaine, who is in command, has on staff Pay-Sergt. Crowe and Corpl. Keddell, who is acting orderly. As the major's purisdiction covers the territory between the Alberta boundary and Grand Forks it will be seen that Creston has a fine central location for the purpose.— Creston Review. Brockville, Ont., bachelors between the ages of 21 and 60 will hereafter be called upon to pay a poll tax annually of $5 into the town treasury in order to comply with a by-law just passed by the municipal council. SIX WEEKS OF PEACE As the following was a part of a very humorous and entertaining speech given by one of the guests at the dinner party at the Waldorf hotel September 21st, we take the liberty of reproduccing it at this late date from last week's Fernie Free Press: "We were stationed in England, as you know, for some months after leaving Valcartier camp, and the horrible stories that reached us from time to time of flooded trenches and dug-outs at the front certainly sent a chill over us when we were ordered to France in February, 1915. You can imagine my surprise when, upon being sent to the trenches for the first time, to find them beautifully lined with brick, fine dry dug-outs furnished with chairs, tables, and the walls decorated with pictures. "I expressed my surprise to a sergeant who had been there for some time and he laughingly asked me if I anci nas been for some time training at Shorneliffe, leaving for somewhere in France only three weeks ago. His younger brother died of heart disease in Ambulances. For the benefit of those who knew Private Cheston, and he had many friends here, we give his regimental number—490164—so that letters which it is our duty to write often to the brave men at the front may be sure to reach him.

Telephone 33 October 12, 1916 HIS NUMBER We have the Devil's number. He is not as black as he is painted. This thought was brought home to us after seeing some of the snapshots taken of the children's sports last week at Morrissey camp. He appeared in most of them—indeed, he is ever present however much we may avoid him. Those who blame everything unpleasant on to him should read "The Sorrows of Satan" by Marie Correlli. He paints every horrid thing rosy-hued, but it is those who always lay the blame on the Devil who are the very devil themselves, doing the dirty work in life. Leave him severely alone and he will leave you alone, for he is a gentleman if he is a devil. He hates men and women who work, for "work is worship" and he loathes worship. He preaches idleness, putting-offness, and lying around or about and others. So work hard, smile and be happy and you need not have even a bowing acquaintance with him. He has no use for those who use their privilege of loving anything — birds, dogs, horses and other people. He only loves the inconsiderate and selfish, the mean and the proud, especially those who never do anything for themselves or anyone else. Grouchers and kickers are his closest pals—more so than thieves and slayers. The most of us have some time or other made his diabolical acquaintance but it's not wise to keep up the friendship (or fiendship) too long as he might be inconveniently hard to drop later. As an artist he is almost supreme, being able to lure with the lyre—spell it as you may—to amuse w'th his music, to fascinate the eye and heart with the roseate tints he spreads with his brush and pallett on the sordid canvas of "High Life" with a capital "L." He is to be respected, but not to be feared. If only we did our work as well as he does his we would indeed have nothing to fear. Take our humble advice—leave mad-vice alone and treat Old Nick like the very devil, but don't blame him for all that's wrong, blame those inhumans who work for him. We have his number—it's skidoo—and shall be as pleased as he is when his occupation is gone. It rests with our race to secure his "discharge" and our "relief" from his "guardianship, and in-sin-uating ex- hilerations. We have it in our "Orders to tell him to go to H—1. So let's be good or we'll go too. DIABOLISMS Some angels are devils in disguise. It's a long tail that has no devil at the other end. Keep your temper and the tempter will keep away of himself. Sunshine and fresh air are two of the Old Gentleman's worst enemies— and our best friends. Be sorry for Satanic Serenity. Even the meanest human has a chance to do a good turn—if he wants to. At least credit the devil with having resisted the temptation to tempt you oftener than he has. Even the devil has his good points; so many take their pointers from him. Once more we have his number—23. People are prone to suppose it takes two horns, a tail, some hoofs and a prong to make a devil. Too many horns will do it alone. Even a devil can be turned into an angel. To feel like the very devil is generally the result of a too close application of some form of his plausibility and it won't harm-youosity. An Eskimo can raise the Devil if he will. In spite of all reports the temperature of Hades is not so hot that he catches cold by visiting either pole. The equator makes him smile; his work is so easy in a warm climate. THE BOSTONIANS It is not too much to say that the Bostonians are a great deal better than their advertisements say they are. Young and beautiful, always merry and bright, they please everyone they play to and can play to everyone they please. It's a treat to see them and hear them. Tonight, Friday, and Saturday they are to be viewed again. It's a real pleasure to review them. Individually it is hard to discriminate—all are good; some, of course, are gooder than others. We leave it to everyone to go and see who is the goodest. At any rate, Fernie has had a Bostonian feast for a week and it should have swept all the cobwebs, if any there be, far away, to entertain these entertaining youngsters in the City of Industry of East Kootenay, not forgetting the fact that miles of smiles resulted from the frequent visits to the Grand theatre. Sunshine and smiles are a component part of the Bostonian Nights Entertainments; pity we can't have more of them. After leaving us the Bevy of Beauties goes to Lethbridge to lighten the Albertans of their worries if they have any, which we doubt, since crops are good and business brisk in up-to-date Lethbridge. It's a long, long way to Lethbridge and our pass does extend that far, still—it's a long, long way. Come to Fernie again, Bostonians! Dn't miss the next performances of the Misses Boston. DELIGHTED TO PAY LICENCE The Morrissey Mention had the distinction of being mentioned by the asemblage. Aid. Jackson desired to know if the Morrissey Mention was contributing to the city exchequer by the payment of the traders' licence and the records showed that the editor of the Mention was not a license holder. It pointed out that there were two weekly publications in the city which were required to comply with the city ordinance in this respect and that there was no just reason why the Mention should be permitted to operate as an advertising medium without license, thereby disriminat- ing against the other publications. The city clerk was instructed to communicate with the editor of the Mention, drawing his attention to the omission and request prompt payment of the license.—Fernie Free Press. (Mention Ed.—We shall be delighted to have the privilege of contributing to the Fernie city exchequer or anything else that will benefit Fernie, B.C. The above was the first notice we received.) As we go to press we are in receipt of copies of some grateful postcards received by the secretary for British Columbia of the society that provides for parcels of food and clothing to be sent to Canadian prisoners of war in Germany. It is the intention of "E" Co., 107th E.K.R., to subscribe to this good cause and shortly we hope to announce the time and date of a meeting to be held for the purpose of raising funds to "adopt" several brave fellows in temporary captivity.

Not a very jovial visit to pay on Thanksgiving day. The patient is doing well. Capt. S. C. Norsworthy, manager, Bank of Montreal, Mexico City, who enlisted in the 42nd Highlanders to avenge his brother, Major Norsworthy, killed in action, is reported wounded in both legs. Sergt. Armstrong writes from England where he has been recovering from wounds, that he is leaving for Canada about the end of the month to accept a commission in a battalion at Digby, N.S. Sergt. Armstrong had been in touch with Major R. J. Black in London. He says "Bert" is very anxious to get to the front. Mr. D. McNeish, government superintendent of roads, has received a letter from Private McKay, 447742, from the territory of trenches, France. He says the weather is perfect, the crops wonderfully good and the whole country beautiful. They are in a fine farming district. He met P. Kennedy the other day with the Engineers, who was at that time in the best of good health and spirits. It is mentioned in Morrissey: j Kootenay's Mail Order Hou.tt MISS INA MITCHELL With the Famous Bostonians at the Grand Theatre this week. Miss Ina Mitchell, the pretty prima donna of the Bostonians, is a daughter of Manitoba, being born in Winnipeg, a Canadian of Canadians. She has been with the Bostonians for some years, the years with them and without them are not very many. Her impressions of Fernie are really worth repeating: "I like the town and the people," she said, "and I do hope they like men. The audiences have been so appreciative. My father was with the 102nd Regiment at Bonnington Falls and is now off to the front. My brother is a private and went to France with the first contingent. He is now on his way home after sixteen months in the trenches. I expect he has landed at Quebec by this time. My uncle Charlie is a lieutenant with the Canadian Electrical Engineers now in England. He enlisted at Vancouver. I am sorry to leave Fernie." THEDA BARA At the Isis Theatre Next Monday and Tuesday HOEING Last year I was hoeing, Hoeing mangel-wurzels, Hoeing mangel-wurzels all day in the sun, Hoeing for the squire Down in Gloucestershire Willy-nilly till the sweaty job was done. Now I'm in the wurzels, In the mangel-wurzels, All day in the wurzels 'neath the Belgian •sun. But among their little lot It's a different job I've got— For you don't hoe mangel-wurzels with a gun. —W. W. Gibson in The Province. That Bugler Edwards is better. That Hazel Hart has a lovely voice. That Patsie Henry is a born comedienne in the top row. That all the young Bostonians are to be congratulated. That we have a lot to say about the patriotic fund next week. That we have lost our printer's devil. Willy has gone. That a wire received in town says the 225th are pippin picking. That G. Falvo, Fernie, makes oid boots new. That Sergt. F. Turner has returned from a visit to his home. That Dr. W. W. Lailey will open a new hospital in Fernie in November. That in life as on parade the devil takes the hindermost. Quick march. Double. That Charlie Bennett, the fine tenor with the Bostonians, loves the girls. He said so and we don't blame him. That an Australian in Morrissey says there are more at home like the Bostonians! Well, Australia's some country! That the public meeting was most pratriotic and instructive. Sir Herbert and Mr. Nation are doing great and noble work. That either the lamps have become degenerate or the oil distillate. At any rate, there is no light that does not fail. That as soon as Sir Herbert Ames spoke on the war at Victoria hall last Monday night a number of eligibles got up to go out. That Mr. and Mrs. Harry Whalley, Miss Bertha Whalley, Mr. R. D. Win- stanley and Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, of Fernie, spent the week end in Morrissey. That if all U.S.A. naval lieutenants look as nice in their uniforms as the one in the "Isle of Dreams" there would soon be not a single one left. That the Dominion Patriotic fund needs no better champions than Sir Herbert Ames and Mr. Fred Nation. The patriotic fund aims at relieving any possible distress coming to those wage earners who are battling for the nation. CAPT. HARRY A. SIMMONS C. A. D. C. An only son of Dr. H. S. Simmons, of Fernie, B.C., Capt. Harry A. Simmons, of the Canadian Army Dental Corps, is now at Bramshott, England. He left Victoria as a lieutenant last April and has since been promoted. He was born at Fredericton, New Brunswick, and as a boy went to school in Greenwood, where his father was practising dentistry for some years. After leaving Greenwood, Capt. Simmons attended high school in Vancouver and in 1911 graduated from Toronto University, practising in the terminal city until war was declared. When asked by the Mentioner what he intended to do with his practise, he said: "I've just turned the key in the door and walked out; when I get back I'll just give the key another turn and walk in again."

Services on Sunday:— Song Service at 7:30 p.m. IT IS MENTIONED That Pte. John Reid is getting well again. That J.P.'s Weekly is about to take a rest. That the babies' chorus was extreme. That Greenwood will not have a fall fair this year. That the two dancers from Honolulu were graceful and delightfeet. That the Grand theatre would do well to have programs of all shows. That Doris Canfield could sing a coon song to perfection; why not give her one. That the S.M.'s driving to Waldo" was magnific and terrificent and passed B.Leaf. That one of the C.A.S.C. rigs took Jack and his belongings to the train for Nelson. That the little lady who sang "Baby Shoes" and "Memories" gave pleasure to a great many people. That Governor Hill, of Ceylon, lives on an Eyeland and uses her I sles to see Lon and to good purpose. That a Wildman took after the wildmen. He had three arms, they none; that's what made them wild. That there's an Iroma Ina bunch of Canadian and American beauties There will "be still' an Iroma next year, we hope. 'H' CO'Y, 107th E. K. R. Bonnington Falls Two stalwart members of "H" Co. went a-trolling in the lake and caught a monster. The proverbial sea serpent is no longer "it." It was too big to lift out of the water, so it was left there. The bottom of the lake is still there, too. Oh dit—"H" representatives at Trail have blazed a Trail for themselves and have cut out all the eligible bachelors of the smelter city. What will their wives say? This is a knock, but "every knock is a boost." More power to them. If they need any more power they can get it from Bonnington Falls. The electric company can spare some H.P. to "H" Company—and then not run short. Lieut. Fred W. McLaine gave a farewell dinner to some of his many friends in Greenwood before leaving for Bonnington Falls. The old mayor of Greenwood is one of the best horsemen in B.C. and rides lot? of other hobbies, too. The once upon a time amateur dramatic society of Greenwood will never be a thing of beauty and joy for ever again. He was stage manager and one of the leading stars, and has even been the Mentioner's fond parent on several occasions, although many years his junior. This is a compliment and a complement to the above. Sergt. Stuart Tees, recently reported killed in action, was also a member of the G.A.D.C. which boasted ten active and acting members. The rest are scattered from here to Flanders, and all but one in khaki. The ladies are nursing. At Bonnington Falls the Kootenay river is still falling over the falls this fall. They say the C.A.S.C. corporal has gone to the coast today but left his lleart in Wellon and taken one in exchange wifh-apm. At making captures "H" Company} is second to none save "E" Compan/ alone. As it iOTOO cold to bathe in the lake at Nelson, "H" Co. will—no, we won't repeat it—it's increditable. But there will be a spring clean-up. FERNIE FACTS It is impossible to buy wood in the city at present. Cheap labor is very scarce and the contractors are having their hands full to obtain men. Mr. Lome Campbell was in town last week on business in connection with mining interests at McGillivray. The Patriotic dance Monday evening was a huge success and the Fernie world and his wife were there. 12,000 FEET OF SUPERB PICTURES D. W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" is decidedly the most remarkable historical spectacle ever presented in America. It will be seen at the Grand theatre Monday, October 30th. Petersburg, Atlanta, Appomattox and Ford's theatre, the foothills of South Carolina and the wild rides of the Ku Klux Klan live again in Mr. Griffith's 12,000 feet of superb motion pictures, which took eight months to produce, cost $500,000, employed 18,- 300 people and 3,000 horses. The great spectacle is an epitome of scenes, incidents, characters, passions and emotions of the whole great period from 1861 to 1870—the period occupied by the civil war and reconstruction. Suggested by Thomas Dixon's "The Clansman" and "The Leopard's Spots it has great epical quality of its own, which stamps it as a masterpiece of genius. The enormous popularity achieved by it in New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto and Montreal has been repeated in all the towns of the route, and the prospects are that it will crowd the local theatre at every performance. MENTIONISMS Sonie people are so objectionable they are unmentionable. Misjudge not that ye be not misjudged. Cast your lies upon the waters and they will surely return to you after many days. Thanksgiving day passed without any casualties except Turkey. Turkey's death rate was 'high" and Greece was in evidence. After looking at the hotel register we have come to the conclusion that you cannot write with beer inside you.

Lewis of the 225th R.M.R., Mrs. and the Misses Lewis, of Vernon camp, were recent visitors to Morrissey. BY-PRODUCTS MISS INA MITCHELL AND MR. CHARLES BENNETT The new Liberal government should immediately go into the question of establishing an experimental plant for by-product coke ovens. The Crow's Nest Pass Coal company has been considering the proposition for some time and we believe if the government would co-operate in the matter, it would not be long before we would have one of the greatest industries in the west. The local board of trade and the city council should also wake up and take a live interest in this question.—Fernie Free Press.
