Born���On Oct. 11th at Nickel- ton, Out., to Mr. and Mrs. C, P. Charlton, a son. 36 names on the Greenwood Voter's List have been objected to, the parties having been absent for over six months. Last week a marriage licence was issued to Wm. Henry Biner, of Phoenix, and Miss Harriet Veronica Lynch, of Republic, Wash. While walking along the railway track last Friday night Hugh Murray met with a distressing accident. He tripped on one of the ties and. fell down the en- bankment, breaking his leg. He was found tr& following morning by D. McLeod. The Grand Porks sharpshooters have captured six prisoners of war. They are Austrians and were endeavoring to leave the country to fight against our forces at the front. The will probably be lodged in the detention camp at Vernon until peace has been, declared. ' Alex. Greig has received a letter from Louis Rolland who left about six weeks ago to jpin the French* army. Mr. Rolland is acting as interpreter for the English. He says they are confident of victory and the allies are still driving the Germans back. He sends regards to all and hopes to be back in Greenwood before long. What is known as Delavan's comet is now visible to the naked eye and is quite a conspicuous object. In an ordinary field glass it presents a very beautiful appearance.

This fund is tor the relief of suffering or distress occasioned by the war, preference being shown to the families or dependents of members of the Civil Service who have enlisted.fi PATRIOTIC MEETING. The Patriotic Fund meeting held in the City Hall on Thursday evening took place under the most favorable conditions and the object was endorsed by a large number of citizens. The chair was occupied by the mayor who outlined the objects of the' Patriotic Fund Association. C. B. Winter was retained as secretary treasurer, Mayor McLaine, president, Dr. McLean, vice-president and the executive consists of P. H, McCur- rach, Judge Hallet, R. G. Hargreaves and A. F. H. Meyers. The Greenwood branch of the Canadian Patriotic Fund has a popular president and vice-president, a strong executive and starts out without a single handicap. A prolonged and sometimes warm debate led to the unanimous decision to donate all the funds collected in Greenwood to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, and should anyone hear of any case of distress to let the organization know and the matter shall be properly and quietly dealt with. The unemployment question which was mooted at the meeting was quickly shown to be of too widespread a character to be dealt with. Not the least gratifing feature of Thursday night's meeting was the general testimony of all to relieve any cases of local distress and the statements of Judge Hallet, Dr. McLean and the Mayor met with the heartiesG approval of all. The subscription list is posted up in the two banks where donations will be received. ! Western Float wi 000<>0<>0<>00<>00<K>OXXX>000<K>0<> 8 S WAR NOTES Canadian Patriotic Fund.

Jedd Summers is now a Bridesville contractor and has a force of men employed building fences, etc NEWS OF CARMI Miss Bertha' Bulger, of Nelson, has been the guest of the Misses Jeanne and Irene Crawford for the past two weeks. During her visit she has had considerable excitement and states she likes Carmi for several reasons. Arthur McMillan has returned from Greenwood. He states that it seems good to be back in a lively town and that he feels capable of turning hand springs at any time. Lester Blake, alias Archibald has returned from Greenwood with a surplus of about four inches diminished from his face. He states he had some time* a part from his encounter with the dentist. E, G. Snedaker, former mill man of the Carmi mine, left last week for hiB home in Denver, Col. to accept a position for the government. We wish him the utmost of good fortuue in his new work. The Carmi mine is again iu operation under new management. The expectations are that the mill and mine will continue throughout the winter months. Henry Dissault leftfor his home in Spokane last week. A party of Phoenix people, including Mayor Matheson, B. Cosgrove Rev. Ark. Whifetaker and N. Carson arrived in town on Wednesday j feo spend a few days hunting. The men are seen regularly every |. morning Starting out with their j lanterns but have notyet succeeded I in landing any deer. Meals-arej; served afe all hours afe camp and! several of the Carmi residents have i taken advantage of the good; meals produced by the cook. i A party of Greenwood citizens j visited the vicinity of Carmi and' Beaverdell lasfe week. It looks, bad for Greenwood and Phoenix to ') have all tbe leading men heading for the Kefefele river. Next time' they visit this conntry they are.re- queeted to stay off the Main street at nighfe and leave a remembrance on their departure. At a public meeting held in the City Hall on the evening of the 14th insfe., it was decided to organize a branch of the Canadian Patriotic Fund. The executive committee requested me to_ write a brief article for the press stating the objects and scope of this organization. The headquarters of fehe league are at Ottawa with branches at principal local points throughout the Dominion, and on the central executive are found the names of Canada's leading men. The object of the Fund is to receive contributions to assist the dependents of those of our citizen soldiery who are afe present, or who may afterwards go to the front, to fight the battles of the Empire in the titantic struggle which is now going on in Europe. While there might be differences of opinion regarding the method of settling international disagreements, by force of arms, there can not be any diversity of opinion among patriotic Canadians, regarding our duty to contribute, where necessary, towards the support and comfort of the fathers "and mothers and of the wives and children of tbe men who have gone to the war. Contributions can be handed to any member of the committee and will be acknowledged both by fehe local secretary, C. B. Winter, Esq. and by the general secretary, H.-B.Ames, M.P., Montreal, and may, if desired be paid monthly. From this central fund, fehe needy, on the advice of the local committee, .will receive monetary assistance. The question of local relief to others than war dependents, was also discussed and although there have been no such cases reported to the civic authorities, it was fehe concensus of opinion, that if any such cases existed, they would apply to either Mayor McLaine or myself, and that means would be provided in a quiet and unostentatious manner to relieve such distress. Fellow citizens, we are not all fitted for military service, but whether this be our native or adopted country, the present is an opportunity for us to show our loyalty and patriotism in a practical manner. Let us so act that is future years it may be our proud boast that not a single dependent of our soldiers suffered a moment's want or dis- ! comfort, whilst fehe brave fellows J were on active service, fighting fehe I battles of our common country.

Ashcroft apples are S4.50 a case in Quesnel. The cedar shingle mill at Malak- wa has resumed operations. Alex. Cameron has opened a tailor shop in Rossland. The Kamloops assizes have been postponed until November 2. In 1913 the mineral production of Alaska was worth 20 millions of dollars. Canada buys annually from the United States $400,000,000 worth of goods. The British demand for lead will soon improve lead mining and smelting in B.C. An apple weighing a little over 32 ounces was grown in England this year. Chuck Clark, the hockey player, has enlisted for service abroad with the B. O Horse. At Chilliwack Clarence Smith was fined $50 for supplying redskins with firewater. In Rostand Tom Mimsick was fined %& for allowing his cattle to run loose: Canada is rather shy of the patriotism that supports newspapers in hard times. The United Copper mine at Che- welah is shipping its ore to the Trail smelter. Argenta is feo have a postoffice,' wifeh N. D. Robertson as postmaster. There are a dozen cases of typhoid in Quesnel, and the citizens have begun drinking boiled water. John L. Sullivan, the old-time pugilist is managing the Irving hotel in Vancouver, and may buy it. The men working on the Ruth mine- he_.r Sandbh'giveone day's pay each month to the Patriotic Fond. Giegerich and Miller have bought three claims at Bear lake from the estate of the late Major Vanmoerkerke. TheB. C.

In the ocean, thafe washes the shores of B.C., there is enough of fish to feed millions of people. Get out and fish if you are short of a grub stake. ._...., _ ...._..... __. The company operating the Nickle Plate mine at Hedley declared a dividend of 5 per cent last month. This is afe the rate of 20 per cent a year. The three paper and pulp mills in B.C. are working 24 hours a day and cannot keep up with their orders. The mill at Powell River is making 150 tons of paper a day. The Caaba mine afe Nighfehawk, Wash., has developed an drnmense body of ore. Here, is a chance for the Greenwood Smelter to obtain a large supply of ore when it resumes operations. Nelson would be a greater city if it had more advertisers like E. W. Widdowson. He advertises in more papers than any otherman in Nelson. Nelson is sadly in need of more industries and educated advertisers. Several English companies will drill for oil in the Fraser valley, and other parfes of B. C. Quite a number of companies in Vancouver are also getting ready to prospect the province for the greasy fluid. Bert Taylor, a packer, was found dead on the railway track between Hazelton and Sealey gulch with his fehroat cut, and his body full of knife wounds. John May, a young Indian, was arrested. It is supposed that Taylor fought with the Indian over a bottle of whiskey. It is reported in London that the Kaiser owns 82,500,000 of property in B.C. Tbe Ujrand Forks Sun says that lasfe spring the German Emporer, through his agents came nearly making [some heavy investments in Franklin camp, about 50 miles from Grand Forks. His egotistical nibs has certainly had something to do with the closing down of copper mines and smelters in B.C. 0000<k>0<><><>0000<>000<X>CK><K><>0 The ladyj prophet who predicted the Kaiser would die on September 29th should have taken the precau- iion to have sent bim a few knock?- o'it dreps disguised as a pretzel. It looks as if Emperor Franz Josef will have to get himself run over by an artillery wagon if ho wants to get his name in the paper. A cold generally strikes a man in his weakest spot, and to prove it the Kaiser has developed a cold in his head. Since Bismark's death Germany has evidently trained her diplomats in a hardware store. A man in Chicago hae" been asleep for 38 days. This chap would make an ideal seaman for one of the German Dreadnoughts in the North Sea. Another harrowing result of the carnage is the inability of the hero-, ic efforts of the amateur war poets to find anything to rhyme with antwerp. ' The Belgian government has moved to, Havre and will therefore govern what is left to ifc'from France. This is probably the first occurrence of its kind in history. The Russians say they are carrying everything 'Austrian before them; the Austrians say- they are successfully resisting the enemy and that all is well. And there you are; you pay your money and take your choice. A Russian soldier who escaped from the Germans tells a story of postcards distributed among the Russian Poles bearing the legend, "William the Great, .King of Germany and Poland." This reminds one ����� ol^the^-medal* ordered -to be^ struck by_ Napoleon "representing Hercules strangling a mermaid, and inscribed, "The descent on England, struck afe London, 1804." Isn'fe there a proverb about, counting chickens before, fehey are hatched? Now that Antwerp has fallen, Admiral Van Turpitz has the opportunity he "was waiting for, to get busy with his navy.- He-will find Jellicoe right on the spot. Russia, says the London Times, is the '.'last home oMiberfey of the press." This must be a little of pleasantry on the part of the Times. They may be discussing the war more fully in Russia than in Great Britain, but it's dollar's to doughnuts that the liberty consists of reporting successes and eulogising the powers of the Russian army. There_i8_ noJiberty of_ the press in Russia, such as the Times enjoy in Great Britain even wifeh a censorship afe work. There may be no such thing as civilized warfare, but there is a difr ference between a soldier who cuts off the hands of a wounded enemy and a soldier who gives him a drink from his own water bottle. A British official report says thafe when fehe Germans are leffc without the direct personal leadership of their officers they will not face heavy fire. Surely it is not for loyal Canadians feo blame them. Among the Allies' Generals there is one whose pressure upon Germany must day by day become more severe. His'.name is General Depression. When Britain has crushed German militarism, Canada will enter on a peri od of prosperity such as she has never had before. To those with a little money there will be a thousand opportunities of making large amounts. Gun Club Shoot.

'Tn a'compartment, car Mr. Porter met a certain English globetrotter, who was boasting of the wonders of the world, and he named over some of the great physical maivels of Nature that he had visited. Porter was tired and not much inclined to conversation, when finally the Englishman said, "Why come' to think of it. you have quite a wonder of your own there in'America -that place they ca Niagara Falls." Porter yawned, looked out of the window and Baid: "Yes, Niagara Falls, sure, ite quite a place. I ojvi-j the Falls." And, the strange part was that hVtqld the truth.
