He hopes that this news will cheer up those who. mourned his demise, and trusts that The Ledge will soon obtain another wing, il i if ��WS^_iaWS��!aW^5S^S?5S^^iS&3__5 Western Float Lieutenant Loring's Death News of Lieut. It. N. Loring in the Honor Roll at the front reached Greenwood this week. Ho was killed in action in Flanders on June 16th. Lieut. Loring was known in Greenwood as "Plum." He has given his all, his life, for his country, and all are justly proud of him. He was the first to volunteer in this district, and by his noble example was a great incentive to others of our great countrymen to respond to their country's call. While his familiar figure and cheery face were amongst up, we always found him essentially plucky. His association' with all kinds of games and sports and the spirit in which lie entered these contests, con-firmed this. He was always a good sportsman and grit to tbe core, and it is certain that these qualifications,^ so characteristic of the nation to which he belonged, were apparent in the heroic fight he made for his country and her honour.' Greenwood is proud of her heroes and of Lieut.Loring'in particular. We are grieved at his death, but proud of his patriotism and heroism. The sympathy of Greenwood is extended to his family, and we are honored to associate ourselves with this glory. _ Lieut. Loring at one time was accountant for F. W. McLaine of this city.���Com. Tom Johnston Dead Thomas G. Johnston, one of the proprietors of the Hotel Penticton in Penticton, died suddenly last Monday, aged_ 42_" years. ___ Last month he had suffered from liver trouble and a fatty condition of bis heart/ He was in good health on Monday and played billiards in the afternoon. Complaining of a headache he went to his room, and his partner, Bill Mason, found him dead two hours later. The deceased was born in Orillia, Ontario, where his parents still reside. .He had a brother in Toronto, and a sister in Sudbnry. In the boom days Tom mined at Sandon and Slocan City in the Slocan, but for the past eleven years had been a resident of Penticton. This summer he and his partner, Mike Gay- nor, began work on a group of silver claims near Princeton. Tom's friends were legion, for he was one of the most jovial and best hearted men who ever left home to enrich the manhood of the great west. And He Got The One A. traveller, whose train bad stopped at a town famous for its buns, beckoned to a small boy on the platform, and, giving him ten cents, told the little fellow to bring him a bain and buy one for himself with the other nickel. The boy soon returned. Calmly eating a ban he handed five cents to the astonished traveller, remarking: There was only one left Boss." Ginseng is being grown in Hazelton. Bob Green would like to be premier of B. C. At Revelstoke in May, G6 miners licenses were issued. In this province many a Liberal will vote for W. J. Bowser. Japan is now making toys for the world instead of Germany. This year the sockeye season on the Skeena river opened on June 20. Eleven former pupils of the Kaslo schools have enlisted for the war. A Rossland hotel now runs a free auto bns for the benefit of its guests. C. B. Daniels has been appointed police magistrate for Prince George. John Barrett committed suicide at Smithers last month by cutting his throat. Some cherries were recently shipped from Kaslo to the soldiers in Vernon. In Sandon only one, or two men are left who played the wheel in that camp 20 years ago. Jim Cronin has resumed work on his claims on the Babine range, in the Hazelton district. For snow sheds the Kettle Valley railway is buying 13,000,000 feet of lumber at the coast. Counterfeit 25 cent pieces are being circulated in - Rossland, and other towns of the interior. Jack Kirkup is now government agent at Nanaimo, having been transferred from Alberni this month. Mrs. Simms of Jap Inlet, Parcher Island, planted potatoes on April 23, that were ready for eating on May 24. Safety in the home is a necessary as in the factory. Care can prevent accidents to the children as well as to" the" father. All the bartenders in Rape belong to the union, but they will sell a drink to a non-union man if he'has the price, or a gilt-edged finger. The 48th Battalion has gone to Europe from Victoria. It is commanded by Colonel Holmes, formerly oi Kaslo, and Captain John L. Retallack is paymaster. Many prospectors this summer are scanning the hills around Rossland. There will be more good claims found in that district before many months, as well as in the Slocan. The, conduct of the Austrian prisoners of war, who are building the Monashee wagon road is highly satisfactory. They do their work well, and give no trouble to the guards. Last month a man giving his name as J. Yonng cut his throat with a razor. He was despondent because be could not enlist at Vernon upon account of his teeth. He fought in the Boer war. The writer has received a letter from Kaslo telling about interesting phases in the careers of Bob, and John, but at present it would serve no good purpose to publish it, and might wound the pride of some innocent people. ' Miss Hazel Fleeaer, formerly of Kaslo is now soloist in one of the leading churches in Minneapolis, and will Bing at many concerts in the United States this year. Miss Fleener studied music in Germany before the war, and will yet make Kaslo famous. W. A. Smith writing to his brother in Rossland, from the month of bell in France says, that they captured several wounded German soldiers, two of them who had been shot by their own officers, because they refused to bayonet British soldiers. This shows that there are still some noble men among the common soldiers of Germany. Although the general impression is that the Trout Lake division is a high grade country, it will probably be found, and at no distant date, that its biggest producers will be the low grade properties. The problem of raising capital and the milling of the lower grade Ores, appears to be more difficult of solution than the discovery of ore bodies. This matter, will however, be adjusted in due time, and all who are in any acquainted with the resources of the district do not hesitate in expressing the opinion that such a wonderfully mineralized area must in time become a big producer, particularly of silver, lead and zinc, and possibly gold and copper as well.���Kaelo Kootenaian. GIVES MACHINE GUN Greenwood District Gives One, Gun, And May Give An- _ other, Great Enthus/ iasm In City < The Committee in charge, of the work in connection with providing a machine gun to the 54th Kootenay-Boundary Battalion reported at a meeting yesterday. Collections in Greenwood alone amounting to nearly $800. It was found that many citizens had not been approached and consequently an estimate of .$1,000 was put as Greenwoods total. The Jewel- Denero mines reported collections of $281, and it was decided to make every effort now to supply a second gun, as no subscription returns have as yet been received from tho rest of the Greenwood riding, and it is felt that with earnest efforts no difficulty should- be experienced in raising a second thousand dollars. This it is felt speaks volumes for tbe spirit of sacrifice and patriotism of this district. The Committee ask for every help in their effort to raise sufficient funds to present this second gun to onr local regiment. Letter From Scotland The following letter addressed to the teachers and pupils, of the Greenwood school, from the Military Hospital, The Castle, Edinburgh, of date of June 24, was received in Greenwood lasfe week: My Dear Friends We are very grateful for the gift of magazines yon have so kindly sent from British Columbia. Although so far away yon have proved that there still remains the wondrous fellow-feeling which ��� 'makes the whole world kin." You may be sure it gives my comrades and myself pride and pleasure to know that you think of us, as well as, your own gallant relatives and friends, who have come to our assistance, and are doing so well in Flanders and the Dardanelles. - I am sure that nothing finer has ever been, or will be"recbrded,~than " the gallant charge of the Canadian Brigade, who, after being forced to retire by gas, retook their guns and trenches at Hill GO. We are all so proud of them I The Newfoundlanders were stationed here for some time and earned the praise of everyone for their good behaviour and smartness. They have gone now and I am quite sure they will give a good account of themselves wherever they go. The following join me in wishing you all ever success: Jno. Philip, Scots Guards; Pte. W.

THE WHITE PLAGUE In a speech in England that eminent Canadian physician, Sir William Osier says: ''Tuberculosis may be put into three group?. All of us who are here come in the first. If I had an instrument here with which I could look into the chest or the abdomen of each of you, the the probability is that in ninety per cent, of you would be found somewhere a small area of tuber- col osip. So widespread is the bacillus that practically all humans by the time they become adults harbor the germs of the disease. "Why don't you die? Because we are not guinea pigs or rabbits, we have obtained a certain immunity. But the germ is in us, though negative, and with all of us there is the possibility of slipping into the two other groups. "The second group comprises those in whom the disease is active enough to produce symptoms, but in whom there is the possibility of arrest or cure, with restoration to working health. Those in the third group are doomed, the disease progresses week by week, month by month, year by year, aud from one year to five sees the end. "When workers have living wages, when the house becomes the home, when the nation spends on food what it spends on drink, then, instead of hundreds of thousands, there will be millions in the first group, with practically immunity. The enemy has been traced to its very stronghold, which is defended by the three allies, poverty, bad housing and drink." Max is the only animal who will not quit eating when he is sick. Whex not eaten with meat cel: ery is a nerve tonic, and helps to kill rheumatism. Many merchants are dumb when it comes to talking through a newspaper at so much per inch. In every town there lives a man or two, who if bit by a viper, twould cause the viper's death. Ip you are too fat quit eating for a month. This is a sure cure, and you will make money by following our advice. On July 2, Sir Charles Tupper was 94 years young. Being a Conservative all his life probably had something to do with it. In California a doctor has found a tiny insect that will kill all house- flies. We hope that tho insect will come north before all the sugar, butter and baldheads have been eaten. We have occasionally in this world of flesh and passion met a lady so sweet, so angelic, and so spiritual, that she would perfume a boquet of roses, instead of being perfumed by them. WAR AND DISEASE For the benefit of the younger generation, we will" say that the American war of 50 years ago, was fought by two million officers and one private. That war was a great event and made the north look blue for four years, although there are more than a million souls today in America who never heard about it. Foundation Subscription List For the purpose of presenting a machine gun to the 54th Kootenay-Boundary Battalion from the citizens of Greenwood and district. If microbes were nsed instead of shells the war in Europe would soon be at an end. As it is 80 per cent, of the deaths in the present war are caused by disease, and 20 per cent, by gunfire and steel. This same proportion obtained during the Russ-Turk war in 1877, and the losses in the Boer war from disease were enormous. The Japanese are the only people who ever reversed this order Of things in warfare. In their war with .Russia where one man of their 1.rpope1 died from .disease,- four died from wounds caused by shot, shell or steel. The wars of the future may be carried on with microbes, and the soldiers be armed with little bottles, filled with the bacillus 0! the most deadly disease. These could be shot into the enemy with the hypo syringe, or sprinkled over tieir food when they were asleep. This method of warfare would save the grass from being reddened with blood, and do away with the annoying noise and smoke that now prevails at all battles. We think that tiie present mode of warfare is very rude, crude and :ungentlemanly. It would be much nicer for our ..rave soldiers to carry sponges and chloroform, and slip throo8h the lines at night and chloroform the enemy to death. The result would be the same, and it would do away with the horrors of war.' Mining is the fundamental civilizing industry of the world. It is the foundation upon which all commercial progress is based; it dominates every line of endeavor and has a deciding influence over human destiny. Without the mines, there would be no railroads or steamships and commerce would be at"a standstill. There would be no circulating media of a fixed value based on gold, and methods of barter used by primitive man might still be in vogue. The arts and craftfe would be practically nil. The printer, minus metal press and type, could no longer supply the world with literature and newspapers would he unknown. Telegrams, cablegrams and telephones are words that would be eliminated from the English language. And our friends across the water would have to resort to clubs instead of shrapnel if they were determined to exterminate one another. The farmer, lacking agricultural implements, could not garner his crops unless he pulled them up by the roots. Dog-Outs or flimsy wooden structures would supplant the modern skyscrapers with their altitudinous. towers. Everybody who had a desire to live would have to take up farming and stockraising in order to support and clothe himself. Taking all facts into consideration, the West if. to be congratulated upOn possessing an industry of such vital importance to society. Agricultural districts may boast of their fertile farms; manufacturing communities may be self-laudatory over their immense productions, and financial centres may swell with pride over the far- reaching power of their gold. But coming tight down to facts, they all owe their being to the mining industry.���Denver Mining Record. Dr. J. D. MacLean J. L. Coles H. McCutcheon I. H. Hallett Wm. C. Arthurs G. S. Walters H.

And the veal final reason for all the poverty, misery, and rage of battle through Europe is simply that yon women, however good and religious, however self-sacrificing for those whom you love, are too selfish and too thoughtless to take pains for any creature out of your immediate circles. Let every Christian woman who has conscience towards God vow that she will mourn for His killed creatures. Let every lady in the happy classes of civilized Europe simply vow that, while any cruel war proceeds, she will wear black���with no jewel, no ornament, and I tell yon again no war would last a week.
