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.

HARVESTERS IN DEMAND
F. H. Auld, acting deputy-
minister of the Saskatchewan

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.

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.

FERNIE STRIKE DECLARED OFF
Fernie. 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.

When you eee a nest of caterpillars, destroy it at once; tomorrow may find them distributed
over several trees, making spraying necessary.
Watch carefully for signs of
pests or diseases. A few days
often gives a foothold and causes
unlimited loss.
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.

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.
