i ULLOOET PROSPECTOR VOL. /(, NO. 52 LILLOOET, B. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1916. $2 PER YEAR "Our Day", Oct. 19 In accordance with the request forwarded to His Honour F. S. Barnard, Lieutenant Governor of B. C. from Lord Lansdowne, Presioent of the British Red Cross Society, advising that with the approval of their Majesties the King and Queen and Her Majesty Queen Alexandra, that an appeal was being made thru- out the Empire for contributions for the great work of the British Red Cross Society, on "Our Day" Thursday the 19th of October, the citizens and residents of Lil looet and vicinity most heartily responded to add their share. The arrangements for the day were taken over by a Ladies' committee and were, as is usual, eminently successful. Mr. Santini's kind offer of the use of his commodious hall was taken full advantage of, stalls being erected for the day's proceedings. At about 2 p.m. the bazaar was opened by a brief address from Mr. W. Adams, and from that on business continued very brisk till all things disappeared. The stalls, each of which had been tastefully decorated for the occasion, were in charge of and attended by the following ladies: Fancy work stall —Mrs. Asselstine and Mrs. Miller. Joy Wheel, toys and amusements, etc.—Mrs. Christie, Mrs. Elliott and Miss Martin. Tea and Refreshments—Mesdames Smith, Bell, Hurley, Taylor, Saul, Misses Martin and Rand Ice Cream—Mesdames Eagan and Bell. Fruit-Mrs. Foster. Candies—Misses Moscrop and Goode. A dance was also held, a considerable number being present. The music being supplied by Miss Carson who played several pianoforte selections, and Mr. Pizzi, also by gramophone let for the occasion by Constable Bourne. The two M.C.'s, Messrs Keary and Miller, keeping the dancers very busy, .and a very enjoyable time was spent, also the goodly sum of $268.20 was placed to the credit of the Red Cross. The school children during the opening ceremony of the bazaar sang patriotic airs. FOUND — A pair of spurs. Apply at the Prospector Office. The suggestion that Great Britain adopt a decimal system of coinage after the war is to the fore in some quarters just now, There wil it is certain, have to be much agitation before the thing is even seriously considered in influential circles. Pounds shillings and pence are not as simple as dollars and cents. People will hardly favor a change. Three dudes were walking a- long the street one morning and met an aged, decrepit minister, with long white hair and beard. Desiring to poke fun at the old man, the first called out, "Hello, Father Abram." The second said, "Hello. Father Isaac," and the third chimed in, "Hello Father Jacob." The minister, seeing the situation, and likewise using scripture, quietly replied. ' 'I am neither Abram, nor Isaac, nor Jacob, but Saul, the son of Kish, who went forth to find his father's asses; and behold I have found them." LOCAL ITEMS OF INTEREST A.

The weekly newspaper produces the interest in the town in which it is published to such an extent that it becomes impossible to place an estimate upon its worth. There is no enterprise that does so much for the corporation or the individual citizen as the paper. It stands opposed to the town knocker, the town kicker, the town fanatic and town drones. It stands for progress against stagnation. It is ever- ready to conduct the schemes of visionaries and as ready to aid the construction plans of wise and level headed citizens. It is for the upbuilding of the community. on page 4 Would Admit Students. J. W. Ross, Canadian trade commissioner at Shanghai, calls attention in a report to the trade and commerce department to the necessity for a change in the regulations regarding the entrance of Chinese students into Canada. He points cut that 100 students are sailing for the United States to enter American universities. He says that many of these wouldcome to Canada if the regulations were relaxed. At present Chinese students are treated as Chinese coolies and the same regulations are enforced against them. Provided the legislation will not prove, controversal and will not be opposed by British Columbia members it will likely be introduced this coming session of Parliament.

THE LILLOOET PROSPECTOR The Lillooet Prospector Published in the Interest of Lillooet District. OCT. 27, 1916. GERMAN AGGRESSION We are beginning to find out that if a stop to Germany's ambitions had not been put by the war, that aggressive nation would soon have had the world at her feet in the way of trade. A recent visitor to the coast, ii member of the party of parliamentary delegates from the various Dominions who visited the Old Country a few months ago in order to see for themselves what was being done, said that among other prominent men with whom he had conversed was the managing director of a manufacturing concern in England now occupied in munition making and employing 15,000 operatives. This gentleman told the visitor that previous to the war, the leading managers, foremen, chemists, engineers, etc., the pivotal men on whom the success of the concern depended, who had worked their way into positions of trust and prominence. This is only one instance of what has been occurring all over the world. Germany previous to the war, realized clearly that her great industrial and commercial success had been due to the subordination of the individual, and to the extension of the idea of organization and combination. She saw her, way, as she thought, to the possibilities of larger and larger combinations of capital and of nations— all of course under German control. The plan of campaign on which Germany was working, was neither worse nor better than the reprehensible and cruel methods employed by some of the earlier trusts on this continent to control markets and to crush competition. The develish cleverness with which the scheme was worked is exhibited in an Italian instance. The Banca Commerciale in Milan was begun by Germans in 1895 with the comparatively small capital of a million dollars. It became the headquarters of the German commercial army. By the year 1915, the capital of this concern had increased to $31,- 209,000, of .which Germany and Austria heldbut two and a half per cent, while controlling all its operations and of the trades and industries linked with it. Germany's plan was to make the nations she enslaved, pay for their enslavement.

EVERY year a larger and ever Increasing number of autoists, and those who wish to spend their vacations ln an entire change of environment, make their way to the Island of Vancouver—the gateway of which is Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia—the best known tourist resort in the Pacific Northwest. It Is entirely different from any other territory known to automo- bilists. True, it is in Canada, and reached by the Canadian Pacific via road and magnificently appointed steamers, but it is as British as if it were one of the British Isles. This is realized immediately one lands from the steamer in Victoria, and by the way this very landing is interesting and affords an excellent exam pie of the courtesy of Canadian customs officials, and the extreme ease with its automobilists. who are residents of the United States, can en- ttr into this, to them, foreign country. C But to return to one's first impressions upon leaving the steamer at Victoria. As the steamer glides to her berth through the unique Inner Harbor, considered one of the most picturesque in the world, there immediately looms up on the right, the magnificent Parliament buildings of British Columbia—one of the architectural features of Canada. They are sit- ui'ed overlooking the harbor, facing James Bay embankment and the City ot Victoria, f The six-horse tally-hos and the thirty-passenger and smaller sight-seeing cars lined up on the side streets, all ccirpeting for business in a vlgOrdui, and somewhat unfamiliar manner, is a other indication that we have with- ir a short space of live hours, been tr; n-planted in: - a new and invigorat- l..r en\>nhT>ent. The City of Victoria '< 'he starting point of the Island > .away, which brings the autoniobil- 1st in close touch with the main portion of Vancouver Island, and all its summer and fishing resorts; its quaint villages, enterprising towns, agricul tural settlements, wonderful forests, reached by tributary highways, and, the commencement of the Canadian highway, the terminus of which is at Alberni. It is an ea-y matter to spend a week ln the City of Victoria, and to take an entirely separate and distinct, and at the same time most interesting tour, every day. In fact, during tin past summer, enthusiastic autoists from California, Utah, Washington. Oregon, and 'even Eastern Canada spent from two to five weeks in this city and island, and left with the greatest possible regret. - -•* Mi*: Pre terick Wagner, In the Seattle Times, thus describes his first visit to Victoria and the Island: ' ~ "Picturesque and rugged in its matchless beauty of unlimited variety; wealthy fn magnificent driveways and offering unsurpassed hotel accommodations, with lavish hospitality ever conspicuously present— that is Vancouver Island, In the Canadian province of British Columbia, paradise of motorists and nature lovers., and destined to rank as one of the world's greatest touring fields. "Nature painted the gsrgeous set- put of which last year was 2,525,021 pounds as compared with 74,000 pounds in 1909, the year of its beginning. The produce, of this manufactory, it is pointed out, was awarded seventeen prizes and one championship at fairs extending from Quebec on the East to Vancouver on the West. It is highly satisfactory to find a western Canadian city branching out. in this way and the more of this go-ahead spirit is introduced the better. But it may be remarked that this result would not have been attained had there not been men to see the chances and to lead the way. The success of any settlement, be it township, village or city depends on its men. One industry in any locality which is conducted with vigor, and which makes the best of its opportunities is worth a whole lot of talk. It is the "get up and get" spirit that makes for success, and Ed monton had the advantage of having among its early settlers, men of grit bred in the old Hudson's bay traditions, vvho were pioneers in the best sense of the word. Some settjements in Canada are at a standstill and some are getting along well. It depends on the .quality .of its men. If there are leaders there will be success. ting for this scenic wonderland, and the people of Vancouver Island have capitalized it by constructing a system of splendid highways that is dotted with attractive hotels where excellent accommodations are to be obtained. And they have supplemented this work by a display of genuine hospitality that is justly entitled to be classed as a valuable asset in the exploitation of their country, "The chain of mountains that penetrates Vancouver Island and the beautiful valleys, with their numerous streams, lakes and luxuriant vegetation, combine to set before the eyes of the traveller a variety of scenic splendor that beggars description. "Go where you will on Vancouver Island and yon will find scenery that causes you to marvel at the lavish- hessbf nature;- Jws* ** f'\ ' ' "Tbe coastline of the Island is very beautiful,1 being indented with deep bays and fiords. The western c6ast differs somewhat from the eastern coastline, for on the ocean side' a number of canals reach far inland, as if to aid the miner and the lumberman to get his product to market with ease; while on the other side of the island there are. many.. pleasant bays and several beaches, where summer homes and resorts are; to ba found."

I THE LILLOOET PROSPECTOR The Casualty Lists Every day brings its fresh message of grief to some heart as the Canadian casualty lists disclose the names of those from among us who have completed their sacrifice of devotion by rendering up their lives in support of the principles which impelled them to enlist in the service of their country. It was announced the other day that the casualties from the Dominion since the outbreak of war has reached a total of over 52,000. This is about one in seven of those who have enlisted. This serves to show how terribly hard has been the wokr of our soldiers on the fighting line and brings home with fresh meaning the splendid conduct of our Canadian troops on the Yyes salient, and more recently, on the line of advance along the Somme front And yet we must steel our hearts in preparation for even greater sacrifices as the days go by, and more and more of our boys find their way to the battle fields where their comrades have won e- ternal distinction and fame. It must by this time be pretty well realized by all who are trying to understand conditions on the various fronts, that the task of the Allies is far from nearing an end. Our foe is still strong, aggressive and apparently confident. Many weary months must lie before us until victory crowns our banners. There will be need of men to the last soldier that the Empire can put in the field and from now on the heaviest fighting will fall upon the British forces. Our losses, dreadful as they are in themselves, are in relation to the whole population light in comparison with what other behgerent nations have suffered. Our casualties are to date less than seven per thousand of our total population. The German casualties, as admitted by themselves, are proportionately more than ten times this; and the French losses cannot be much less. The British losses, excluding the Dominion casualties must now be past the million mark, which would make them a- bout four times those of Canada. When one looks around and notes the havoc that is being made in our Canadian towns by the losses sustained by our troops, some idea can be gained of what this war must mean to a German city of corresponding size. Hardly a German family, one may imagine,, but does not mourn its dead, and while we may never feel the full weight of war's carnage so heavily in Canada, we must still expect to suffer even more deadly losses than we have yet sustained.

The Weekly Newspaper from page 1 The paper has not yet come to its own, however, because it is never appreciated to the extent of its worth by the people at large. Yet when battles are to be fought for town or country a rush is made to the newspaper office always to find the loyal editor ready, frequently without hope of reward. Many other enterprises are encouraged by a bonus, but rarely is a newspaper offered such help and still more often not given the support it is entitled to. Communities frequently lose sight of their benefactor when they fail to recognize the weekly journal as such. The editor and his paper stands as bulwarks of defense against the attacks of evil or designing schemes affecting the good of the individual or town. For these and other the newspaper, town and country, should receive the support of the public at large in a very liberal degree, for it is really the most important business enterprise of the community. — Chicago Tribune.
