London, Feb. 9—Prof. Bernard Pares, the official observer of the British government attached to the Russian army quarters, in a communication issued today by the British press bureau, lays stress upon the political significance of the wholesale surrendering of the racial contingents which compose the Austro- Hungarian army. "These surrenders are an indication of feelings and aspira- sions of the various nationalties bundled together under the name of Austria," Prof. Pareo declared "From the beginning of the war the Bosnians surrendered in large numbers," he continued. "Then the Poles began to come in fast, and now come Bohemians and Moravians, who seem to be surrendering in larger numbers than any other nationality. The Hungarians are pure to contince to the end, but the Roumanian and Italian soldiers of Austria have come over very easily." Rotterdam, Feb 8—A Flanders correspondent reports that on Thursday night an English war plane hovered over Zeebrugge. and, defying the concentrated fire, made a sudden dive to within 300 feet of the ground. About forty German soldi n returnng from the disiplinary court, where they had been sentenced\to punishment, ran for cover in _tll directions. The airman coolly dropped his bombs at short range on a submarine moored alongside the Mole. There was a terrific explosion, and the submarine was sunk, The aviator got safely away. London, Feb. 9—An indication that Italy is pursuing her policy waiting and watchinf/ is found in a royal decree just issued which orders that soldiers of the second category, classes of 1893 and 1894 shail be retained under colors until May 31 next. As service in the Italian army covers a period of nineteen years, these men should have returned to their homes. Second category recruits are regarded as belonging to the permanent army for the first 8 years of service. Then they pass to the mobile militia and afterwards to the territorial militia. This term of military service is supposed to be finished at the age of 39 years. Lord Charles Beresford is going to put a question to Premier Asquith in the House of Commons tomorrow in which he will demand that Great Britain treat Germans who make raids on undefended places as pirates, and after a trial by court-martial, hang them in public for the murder of women and children. Lord Charles asserts that the government should no longer treat such raiders as honorable foes. London Feb. 9. The official press bureau has made public an official despatch received from Cario, which states that the Turkish army is in full retreat eastward. There are no enemy forces within twenty miles of the Suez Canal, the despatch says, except small retiring rear guards The Pacific Great Eastern Railway The Connecting Link Between Northern and Southern British Columbia. — Rails Now Only Six Miles From Lillooet Town. The rails of the P.G.E. are now laid to within six miles of town and will be here by Monday evening Feb. 15. In the beginning of 1912, Sir Richard McBride and his government introduced legislation incorporating the Pacific Great Eastern Railway Company, for the construction of a line of railway from Vancouver to Fort George, and by later legislation for the extension of this line, still northerly into the Peace river country. This railway from its strategical position is bound to become one of the most important sections of railway in the Dominion. It connects with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway at Fort George, from which place it runs almost due south to Vancouver, a distance of four hundred and eighty miles. The first line strikes tide water at, the head of Howe Sound, where the railway company are establishing extensive yards and terminals. This place may be regarded as the tide water terminal of the railway compan>, and has been incorporated as the J city of Squamish. The harbour is one of the most commodious on the Pacific coast, net even excepting Golden.Gate. It is thirty miles in length, and nowhere less than one mile in width. There is practically an entire absence of fog, the whole year round. Indeed, all conditions contribute in the highest degree to rendering the harbor secure and safe beyond any other on the Pacific coast, the entrance having nothing in the way of tide or fog to make navigation difficult The grade of this railway has been completed between Squamish and Fort George, and the line between these points is to be in operation some time during this year. The railway passes through the lower end of Pemberton Valley, about sixty miles northeast of Squamish. There are about forty thousand acres of bottom land in the valley eminently adapted for farming. It is practically virgin soil, as only a small proportion of the area has heretofore been cultivated, owing to lack of transportation facilities. Lillooet is 130 miles from Vancouver, and is the distributing- centre for a good mining district. The soil is of the richest, and the different kinds of fruit and vegetables raised in the Columbia River Valley in Washington are grown in this district. There is also splendid hunting and fishing for the sportsman and the country roads are ideal for riding or motoring. The people of Canada will soon be coming to Lillooet instead of California for relaxation, and it will soon be only about 7 hours run from Vancouver. As a large percentage of the public are inclined to doubt newspaper reports, especially upon local conditions, we will quote Mr. G. M. Downton in his report to the Minister of Lands. Mr. Downton, P.L.S., in his report on the Lillooet District, says:—"Lillooet is the only town of importance in this district, and is reached by way of Lytton or Ashcroft, both on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the former being fiorty-seven distant and the latter sixty-three miles. It has a daily mail service and a telegraph office, while it is in telephonic communication with Lytton, Short Portage, and Bridge river. It has three churches, two good hotels, several well- equiped stores, and a population of about 300, although this has been largely augmented recently by the floating population connected with railroad construction. It is .beautifully situated on an extensive bench above the Fraser river with a south-easterly aspect, and is well protected from .northerly winds by a high mountain at the rear of the town. The climate is dry and invigorating, the heat in summer seldom ex- cessi ve, and the winter comparatively mild. Snow seldon lies for any length of time in the winter, and the water supply is good. With the completion of the railroad, Lillooet will be a- bout seven hours' run from Vancouver. It is immediately surrounded by a country the possibilities of which have up to the present hardly been realized, owing mainly to lack of markets and communication. "The alluvial benches which are a marked feature along the Fraser river north of Lytton are, In my opinion, at any rate in the southern part of the district, eminently suitable for the raising of fruit and it seems probable that with the opening of the railway the Lillooet section will come to be looked upon as one of the most promising fruit sections in the Province. Irrigation, which is necessary here owing to the dry climate, has been tried everywhere with success." General News of Lillooet District Venice, Feb. 9.— According to the Secolo's Vienna correspondent, the relations between the King of Roumania and Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarirn minister at Bucharest, are badly strained on account of the minister's alleged unsatisfactory explanation of the massing of Austrian troops in Transylvania. The correspondent says that reports received from the front are to the effect that the Count has refused to explain the presence of these forces. "Where's the editor?" bellowed the caller at the office of the Podunk Pablum. "He's out," said the office devil. "You see we had a home talent play at the town hall the other night and in describing the scene between Mr. and Mrs. Hanks, who played the leading part, the editor wrote: 'He held her tight as she struggled to get in,' but when it got into the paper it read: 'He held her tights as she struggled to get in.' Mr. Hanks called about it, and I ain't sin neether of 'urn since."—Ledge. Don't forget the Dance in the Hall, tonight. Mr, J. K. More, Road Supt. is in town on official business. Mr. D. Hurley is at the coast these days. District Forester Le Mare left town this week on an extended cruise throughout the district. Mrs. A. W. A.

Mr. Bishop, rancher on the North Fork, was in town this week; he reports things as being in first class shape around his part of the country. Mr. Birch, mail carrier from Moha, arrived in town this week; he stated that they had had an exceptionally good winter, even for Moha, also that there was at present considerable activity being manifested, among other i- tems, a first-class hotel was be- being erected. The Greewood smelter shut down last August. Up to that date during 1914, the smelter treated 295,000 tons of ore producing over 4,000,000 pounds of copper, 14,442 ounces of gold and 63,501 ounces of silver. The Mother Lode mine produced 178,- 000 tons of ore at a cost of 85 1-2 cents a ton loaded on the cars. Other mines of the company produced 13,000 tons, and 104,000 tons of custom ore were treated. —Greenwood Ledge. "And now Turkey has gone in —that means another country," muttered the man sitting next to me, sorrowfully. "More bloodshed, suffering and misery," said 1 sympathetically, "I was not thinking of that he said, wearily, "but I'm the man that tends to the big colored war map in front of the Tribune. I use red tacks to show the position of British troops, blue for Germany, green for Belgian, brown for French, black for Russian, yellow for Servian, purple for Japanese, and I'm going to use pink for the Turkish, but I'm be blamed if I know what to do if any more mix in."

Ludwig, Manager. FEB. 12. 1915. Laziest Man—A Hero ' 'Never again will I judge a man by his appearance," said a wounded sergeant, when asked for his most thrilling battle experience. "When we started for the front we had in our company a man whom I simply could not stand. He was tall, well built, rather good looking, with light hair and mustache, and most awfully lazy. There was no mistake about it—he had wealthy parents, a man who had never travelled without a valet, and never walked when an automobile was near enough to be called. "On the moment of his arrival in our midst we named him 'his lordship,' and bets were made that he would succumb after the first day's march. Not a bit of it. It is true he looked tired at the start, but he looked no more so at the finish. But when we reached the place where we were to rest for the night he calmly unwound his puttees, underneath which he wore real red silk socks. We felt a bit upset. Silk socks for a soldier are clearly a- gainst the army regulations. "But this was nothing to what followed. He got out a nice leather box. opened i;, extracted some sort of instrument and proceeded to manicure his nails. The beggar did it as coolly as if he had been in his own Mayfair flat. ''All the boys had gathered round him to watch the per- formance; but 1 put a stop to it by promising him four days of ihe 'ordinary,' which he was to undergo after the taking of Berlin, for you see, we could not very well spare the men just then. "We were finally placed in the trenches. 'His lordship' d'd everything ungrudingly, but he could not sleep without a pillow, so he paid four packets of cigarettes a day to a fat fellow, and rested his NO ALUM V"ARB PLAINlW] ^PRINTED OK THE_ IJ^STH.WnlTFJir.ll^ flAGlc BAKINO POWDEfl head on the latter's stomach. But we began to respect him from the day when he laid low sixteen Germans with eighteen cartridges. It was 'some shooting,' and he did it as nonchalantly as if he were in a rifle gallery; but he was so lazy that he would not brush the perspiration off his forehead. Instead, he asked his neighbor to do it for him. "Well we left the trenches —that is some of us did, and some did not—and then one day we were ordered to take by assault a village occupied by a Bavarian regiment. "To give added courage to the men our captain said: 'You see these houses? There are beds in them and those beds are for your use if we take the village,' Take my word for it, we did not lose any time, and if I did not hustle then, I never hustled in all my life. I was among, the first to reach the nearest house—at least I thought I was, but when I dashed in I found 'his lordship' calmly stretched out on a bed previously occupied by a German officer whom he had thrown out of the window. "We thought that we could have a good night's rest, but about 3 a.m. we were told to get up, as a German regiment was marching against us. I woke my men, and all rose, all except 'his lordship.' "'Get up!' I shouted. "He opened one eye, looked at me and said, 'Not on your j life.' 'What do you mean? I was looking with anger. 'We must retreat; a whole German regiment is about to at-' t°CK US ' " 'If 'it is the whole "German army, I will not give up my my bed to them,' he answered with some heat—the first time I saw him get hot about anything at all. " 'I order you', I started to say, but lie shut his eye, turned on his other side and slept. I added eight days to his 'solitary,' and as I could not carry him out on my shoulders I left bim to his fate. "We retired upon an adjoining hill, within about a mile of the village, to await reinforcements. At dawn our captain, who was watching the enemy through field glasses, exclaimed with surprise: 'This is curious! They have not entered the village yet, They content themselves with shooting at the houses.' "I looked in turn. It was true, the Germans were held back by somebody, and every now and then one fell. And then I saw at one of the windows a white apparition. It was 'his lordships rifle in hand defending his bed. "Our reinforcements are rived, we took back the village, and—can you imagin- where I found 'his lordship'? He was fast asleep in bed. I shook him; he opened an eye and muttered: 'Bring me my coffee.' I gave him four more days of 'solitary,' the general added an order to have him mentioned in dispatches. "I suppose he is still fighting and doing good work, while I have taken the pledge never to judge a man by his looks.''' Advertiser.
