1:" 1 ULLOOET PROSPECTOR g" - i V- • £ VOL. & NO. 39 LILLOOET, B. C, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1916. $2 PER YEAR A WEEK FROM TODAY One more week and we shall have entered upon the third year of a war which when viewed from a proper distance and seen in its true perspective will prove to be something far more, far greater, far better than any war with its victories of arms. Jaundiced writers and "thinkers" and poets have wailed about the decline of morals, the low ebb of religious life and the general degeneracy cf the age. And even as they mournfuliy drone out their song of woe, the throb of the British war drum is heard, and from the remotest corners of that vastest of the world's empires there comes a response, unanimous, instantaneous and determined. The "Lion" (the Sea Lion) with one spring dealt the enemy a stunning blow on the waves. He has gathered himself for one more spring at the throat of his adversary on land. Thus will the world be shown that truth will triumph, perfidy will perish. The insipid and hypocritical prating of an alliance with "Gott"—unless ^hat alliance, include a respect for those "scraps of paper" on which our yea means yea and our nay means m.y—ha». Jieen once more shown to be the product of a philosophy at once diseased and poisonous. In delivering his mighty blow, the British Lion will be scratched and wounded. We must-help. Red Cross funds will provide it, Lillooet must do its part, and will. On August 4th, while we are speech-making and shaking hands in congratulation, we are also intending to prepare to succour the wounded who have "done their bit." The ladies of Lillooet, by their attendance at the meeting called for last Sunday, showed that they are alive to the needs of the of the hour. They have organized various money-making schemes which it is believed will be warmly supported on Friday next. Our town will be honoured by the presence of Capt. J. T. Robinson and some "lads in khaki" from Kamloops. This will be surely a fitting and inspiring occasion for us to put our house in order and see to it that Lillooet, one of the oldest of the towns of B.C., organizes a "League of Lovely Ladies" or some association composed of the fair sex, who will work for the great needs of the hour. Every woman's greatest efforts are required, for John Bull in giving the knock-out blow will bruise his knuckles. But it will be knock-out blow, Details of the programme will appear on Friday, Aug. 4th, in The Prospector of that date. Afternoon, sales of work, etc.; evening at 7 o'clock, concert,' etc., concluding with a first rate dance in Santini's hall. -W.T.B.

H0£ IN OTTAWA Ottawa, July 26.—The present hot wave, which is the most prolonged experienced by Ottawa for many years, continues. Today the thermometer touched 98 in the shade. The farmer, an Irishman, found his hired man fast asleep in the sun on a soft bed of newly cut hay. With a stern smile the farmer said: "Slape on an' be durned, ye terrier. While ye slape ye've got a job, but when ye wake up ye'll be out of wurruk." LAST ELECTION Election returns in Lillooet riding in 1912 were: A.

There is no disposition on the part of the government to hold up the fund contributed by persons in the United States for relief in Ireland, but certain individuals will not be permitted to enter Ireland. New York, July 25.—Eugene Hughes Kelley, as treasurer of the Irish Relief Fund, was en route to Dublin with $50,000, representing the second installment of the $75,000 fund raised in this country for the relief of persons who had suffered through the recent revolt. CASEMENTS EXECUTION The execution of Roger Casement has been set for Aug. 3 in Pentonville Prison, according to the Daily Mail. Efforts to* save his life have not been abandoned. HARVESTERS IN DEMAND F. H. Auld, acting deputy- minister of the Saskatchewan department of agriculture, was in Vancouver this week and stated that that province would require 20,000 men for the reaping and taking care of the big harvest. Last year Saskathewan harvested 6.800,000 acres of wheat alone, but this year's crop will probably be rather less than that-auout 6,000,000 acres. The quality, however, is as good as has ever been grown there. The wages will run about $35 to $40 a month, with board. Arrangements have been made for lowered rates and Mr. Auld expects that about 500 men will apply in British Columbia. SOMETIMES Sometimes I long for a lazy isle, Ten thousand miles from home, Where the warm sun shines ard the blue skies smile And the milk-white breakers foam - A coral island, bravely set In the midst of the Southern sea, Away from the hurry and noise and fret Forever surrounding me! For I tire of labor and care and fight, And I weary of plan and scheme, And ever and ever my thoughts take flight To the island of my dream; And I fancy drowsing the whole day long In a hammock that gently swings- Away from the clamorous, toiling throng, Away from the swirl of things! And yet I know in a little while, When the first glad hours were spent, I'd sicken and tire of my lazy isle And cease to be content! I'd hear the call of the world's great game - The battle with gold and men— And I'd sail once more, with a heart of flame, Back to the game again! —Berton Braley. THE LILLOOET PROSPECTOR CLASS LEGISLA1I0N IN B.C. PROHIBITION ACT Measure Would Mean One Law for the Rich and Another for the Poor. As the details of the Prohibition Act, on which the electors will give a referendum vote on Sept. 14, are being brought out, the measure is becoming unpopular with fair minded men because of the fact that the Act covers "class legislation" of the most pronounced type. It is one of the principles of true and stable government that general laws should treat all citizens—whether workingman or employer, whether rich or poor- alike. This principle is violated in a glaring manner by the Prohibition Act, and for that reason, the measure is being condemned by the working class in particular and fair minded electors in general. While many clauses of the Act are of the "class legislation" type, the most glaring instance is that which is contained in Clause 57, the section which provides for the uncontrolled, unrestricted and unlimited importation of liquor from outside the province. This clause reads as follows: "Nothing in this Act shall be construed to interfere (a) With the right of any person to import from without the province liquor for bona fide use in his private dwelling house." This clause is a direct blow at the workingman, the mainstay of the prosperity of thjb province, and the man of moderate means, whose earnings are insufficient to allow him to save money to any considerable amount. It is legislation which- says to the man who has money at his disposal, "You may import all the liquor you wart, ordering it by the quart, gallon, case or barrel-, so long as you send outside the province for it." To the workingman or man of moderate means, who is accustomed to buy his beer or other beverage by the glass or bottle, it says in emphatic terms, "No, you can't do that any longer. If yoil want to get liquor in small quantity and buy it in your home town, as you have been accustomed to do, you must go to the doctor and get a prescription, paying his fee, and then get the prescription filled at the drug store." Is not this one law for the rich and another for the poor, or man of moderate means; one law for the workingman and another for the employer? And what, in the name of justice, is that but "class legislation?" As far as the principles of prohibition are concerned, the man who would be hit by this class legislation is asking the question as to why prohibitionists think there is any more danger to be feared from the consumption of liquor which is bought by the quart, case, gallon or barrel outside the province, than there is from its consumption when bought, locally, by the single glass or bottle. This question is a hard one for the prohibitionists to answer, as the act sent to the electors with their approval provides for the purchase of just as much liquor as was previously the case, so long as it is secured from a drug store or imported from points outside the province. An illustration of the manner in which even men of means view the Act is shown by the words of a prominent Vancouver financial man, when he said : "If I voted for the Prohibition Act, I'd do it with the knowledge that I could get just as much liquor as I wanted anyhow, for I can afford to send away for it. But I can't vote for a measure which is so unfair as to give privileges which are denied to the workingman just because he isn't as well fixed as I am." —Advt.

Morrison, Editor and Proprietor JULY 28, 1916. RETURNED SOLDIERS. We Canadians are absolutely unanimous about one thing in this war-that justice and reparation must be secured for those who have suffered. The men who have volunteered to fight for us, while we have stayed safely at home, these men, coming back shattered and torn, or with health in any way impaired by their service, must nave reparation, and from us. It is the first word of justice, and there is no Canadian worthy of the name who will not agree to it with all his heart. Our head as well as our heart, however, must be employed to devise a form of reparation that will really repair— that will as far as possible make up to these men what they have lost. From the beginning of the war it was recognized that a man offering his body, to defend our cause should have compensation for any injury his body might suffer in the carrying out of that task. A scale of pensions was adopted both for disabled soldiers and for their dependants, in proportion to the degree of disability. A revised scale, involving a large increase of expenditure, was lately agreed to by a parliamentary committee and is already in force. A pension alone, however, wil! not restore the injured man to his place as an active and useful member of the community ; and that has got to be done, by some means or other, both in the community's interest and in his own. A very few of the injured will be found so totally helpless that this restoration is impossible. On the other hand, a large majority, in spite of their injuries, will still be fit for their former work. But between these two classes will be many men with injuries either handicapping them seriously in their old occupations or barring them out altogether. Such men must not be condemned to perpetual useless- ness. They would not thank us for that. They are not of the backboneless kind, or they would hardly have thrown themselves into the war.i They did not enlist to be coddled or spoon-fed, and they will not want to be coddled and spoon-fed now. Having recovered their strength, they will naturally expect to use it. The question simply is— How? To begin with, their disability can often be lessened by what is called "functional re-education." By special exercises, the muscles mutil ated by wounds and operations, and weakened by compulsory disuse, can recover some of their strength and become once more accustomed to exertion. Then, by "vocational re-education", the men can be enabled to return to their original trade; or, when that is impossible or undesirable, they can be helped to fit themselves for another occupation. There is no intention to provide reeducation for men who do not need it. The parliamentary committee decided that the cost not only of pensions and artificial limbs, but also of this vocational training, should be paic[ by the Dominion Government. The Military Hospitals and Convalescent Homes Commission, with Sir James Lougheed at its head, has already given a great deal of consideration to the matter, and has taken steps to organize the training required in many parts of the country. The complete establishment of the system may be expected very soon; for the Government, by order-in- council, has just adopted a report of the Military Hospitals Commission, ot which we are enabled to give this summary: The report begins by explaining that the Commission aims at benefiting not only disabled mem bers of the Canadian Expedition ary Force but also disabled Reservists of the British and Allied armies who were bona fide residents of Canada when the war broke out. The Commission has received the assurance of the active cooperation of the provinces and various municipalities in carrying out such a policy. Technical schools, agricultural colleges and other public institutions have agreed to received disabled men for training, and many offers have also been received from private commercial establishments to provide training and subsequent employmen t when the men have become proficient. The training will be free to the men in all cases. If there is any charge it will be paid by the Dominion Government. The Commission has prepared a scale under which a small sum for personal expenses will be granted to the men undergoing training, while provision on a sliding scale is made for married men and their dependants, and for those unmarried men who may have persons legally dependent upon them. The President of the Military Hospitals Commission asks us to say that any further information desired by our readers will be gladly given on application to the Secretary, at 22 Vittoria street, Ottawa. 172nd Battalion. Capt. J. T. Robinson of the 172nd Battalion, will be in Lillooet on Aug. 4th and will be pleased to meet all men of military age who are desirous of joining this Battalion for overseas service.

July 25. -The strike effective here since yesterday morning has been declared off, and operations will be resumed at the mines and coke ovens here tomorrow morning. The decision was reached after a stormy mass meeting. The miners' officials finally, in spite of considerable opposition, gained control of the situation and persuaded the men to continue working while their executive could meet the operators in joint conference. The miners at Fernie quit work Monday morning, presumably on account of the operators refusing to grant the 10 per cent, war bonus, although they expressed willingness to grant their previous offer of five per cent., with additional 21-2 per cent, effective April 1st next, on the condition the men agree to the extension of the present agreement until the termination of the war. The men advanced no excuse for quitting. IN THE ORCHARD P. G. E. RY.

Watch the newly planted trees and remove all unnecessary growth as soon as you can determine which branches are wanted. Many orchards are producing three crops—viz., wood, fruit and weeds. Fortunate is the man whose soil will stand this treatment. The extent of winter injury is just becoming apparent. As soon as the full extent can be ascertained, remove the destroyed portion.

Lillooet, - British Columbia WATER NOTICE DIVERSION AND USE The following is a way of get ting rid of stumps without using blasting-powder or heavy pulling devices. It is vouched for by an old-timer who has spent many years farming in B.C. Bore a 2-inch hole in the stump and fill with saturated solution of saltpetre, refill in a month or so, and again later if the stump is a very large one. In extra large stumps two or more holes maybe necessary; these holes should extend nearly to the bottom of the stump. The effect the saltpetre has on the stumps is to make them burn more easily. The method is at best slow, expensive and not practical on a large scale, but works very well in the case of one or two stumps which have been left in a field. The presence of pitch in the wood prevents the proper spreading of the solution, but it has been found to work very satisfactory in old, porous or dry stumps.
