C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1916. $2 PER YEAR Great Britain's Sacrifice Cfrom Vernon News] No step yet taken by the British nation in the conduct of this war has been so profoundly sig- nicant, says the Toronto Globe, as the sacrifice of traditional liberty made by the almost unanimous adoption of the principal of compulsory enlistment. The modified form of compulsory service to which Mr. Asquith gave his assent, and which has finally received the sanction of Parliament has had a most depressing effect upon the enemy. Read between the lines, the comments of the German press are illuminating. While discounting the military importance of this compulsory measure, the Berlin newspapers do not conceal their chagrin at moral effect produced throughout the allied countries. The Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts fully expected "serious internal political conflicts" in Great Britain before the Bill was enforced, but these hopes have proved to be still-born. The comments of The Lokal Anzeiger, however, may be regarded as typical of sober opinion in Germany. "It cannot be denied that the great Parliamentary victory of Mr. Asquith expresses the uncurbed will of victory, because the renunciation or the right of deciding for oneself which this Bill demands is one of the greatest sacrifices an Englishman can make for his country. If the British Parliament by a great majority imposes on the people such a sacrifice this proves that the-factors which are at present still dominating Great Britain are fir.nly resolved to lay a burden on their country for victory's sake." Not the least important result of the Bill has been the moral effect in France and Russia. It is an open secret that one of the strongest reasons for pressing the compulsory bill through was the necessity of proving to the other Allies, in such concrete form that it could not be explained away by the enemy, that Britain is in this fight to her last man and last cartridge, German secret agents have been endeavoring to divide the Allies by creating the impresaion among the Belgians, French, and Russians that Great Britain was still "Per- fide Albion," and that she was leaving her allies to bear the chief brunt of the war. In face of the compulsory bill German intrigue in this direction is nullified. That the Allies are favorably impressed by this latest evidence of Britain's grim determination to see the war through is shown by the tactful allusions of their newspapers. France particularly has been deeply stirred by the action of the British Parliament and people. The French have not ventured at any time to offer advice to the British people as to how they should manage their affairs. They have recognized from the outset that complusion is foreign to the British conception of liberty, and they accordingly emphasize the introduction in its present modified form of the compulsory principle of enlistment as an earnest of Great Britain's resolve to count no sacrifice too great that will insure the overwhelming defeat of the enemy, Patriotic Concert and Dance A Grand Patriotic Goncert and Dance in aid of the Red Cross Society, was held in the Globe Theatre, Lytton, last Friday evening, February 18. The programme consisted of thirty numbers, every one of which was very ably presented, and highly appreciated by the audience. At the close of the programme refreshments were served. Dancing then occupied the assembly till the wee small hours. Everybody entered into the spirit of the occasion with a vim not to be denied and a very enjoyabe time was spent, and, last, but not least, the fine sum of $116.00 was added to the Red Cross. What does the book say about it? is the latest town gag. The Senator and the Major were walking up the avenue. The Senator was more than middle aged and considerably more than fat, and, dearly as the Major loved him, he also loved his joke, The Senator turned with a pleasant expression on his benign countenance and said: "Major, did you see that pretty girl smile at me?" "Oh, that's nothing," replied his friend. "The first time I saw you I laughed out loud." A young preacher went fishing for trout, accompanied by two girls from his parish. A farmer who was also out fishing called to the preacher. "Ketchin' many trout?" "I am a fisher of men," said the young preacher with dignity. "Well," the farmer smiled, and then looking at the girls, said: "I see you've.got the right kind of bait with you." It is rash for the measles to rush into the west, before the grippe has let go its hold. Pretty soon the spring fever will be chasing us with a lasso, with the typhoid and smallpox sneaking around looking for a soft spot to light. Nice world. We will sell our interest in it, for a back seat in the top gallery of the New Jerusaleum. —Ledge. Have you herd this story? The Crown Prince was having a nice little chat with his father, the Butcher of Potsdam, and apropos of nothing said, "Father who started this war?" "I know," said the father playfully, but I won't tell. "Did Cousin George start it?" persisted the youth without a chin. No! said the father. Did Cousin Nicolas? No! said papa. Did Francis-Joseph? No! said the old man. Well, who did then? "I'll tell you, son! You remember Teddy Roosenvelt came out of Central Africa and called on several years ago, and I showed him our magnificent army'; I showed him our great and glorious navy; I showed him the zepps and the submarines and the gas bags, and Teddy, greatly impressed, slapped me on the back and said: " 'Bill, my boy, you can lick the world'—And, like a damned fool, I believed him. —Ex, Church Services Methodist: Sunday School at 11 Evening service 7.30 Pastor-Rev. J. R. Butler "The Higher Patriotism" Everybody cordially invited. Mr. P. Le Mare i_ on a visit to the coast city. Miss Sparing (nurse) arrived in Lillooet last week and is officiating in the Lillooet Hospital. Mrs Elliott and little son left for the coast city on Monday by way of Lytton. Mr. W. Mitchell of Notch Hill arrived in Lillooet this week enroute for the 15-mile ranch. Tom Manson returned from the coast this week v/here he has been spending the past two months. Miss Whitehead, late rurse at the hospital, left for the coast last week. , Mrs. H. A. Christie who has been spending the past few Weeks at the coast returned to Lillooet last week. i * Messrs Z. Kirby, E. Long and ?F. Gott, three more recruits for the 102nd, left Lillooet on Sunday for the coast to join the rest of the "Boys." D. Collins has sold his placer ?claim on Bridge river. The pur- Chaser while in conversation with our representative stated that he intended to commence operations as soon as possible. A fine specimen of the Golden Eagle was shot during the past week by Pete Rebagliati, on the Lytton-Lillooet road. It measured 7-feet 4-inches and weighed 10 pounds. There is considerable mention at the coast concerning the possibilities in and around Lillooet. It is intimated that considerable developments will take place in the mining section in the near future. "Oh, Mr. Flipperly," she exclaimed, soulfully, "have you ever felt a dim, uneasy sense of oppression as if the mere weight of life were a burden too heavy to be borne by the chained spirit panting with psycsic longing to be free." "I invariably have such a feeling after a heavy dinner," was the callous response; "but hitherto I have attributed it to the pudding." Erected 1851 - Still Good A Lillooet Proposition For a mine in which I am interested I need $6000 to complete a tunnel which will cross cut my lead at a depth of 375 feet. This will make the property a shipping mine. For the $6000 I will give 100,000 shares in the company and in addition 10,000 shares in the Graham Island Oil Company. This is the best mining speculation yet offered in this city. The company is so moderately capitalized that with the completion of the tunnel the shares which I offer for $6000 will be worth at least ten times as much as you pay for them. -A3, J P's Weekly. In persuance of the policy of market expansion in the interests of the lumber industry, undertaken by the Hon. Minister of Lands, two further bulletins, prepared for the information of lumber consumers, have recently been printed. They are entitled "British Columbia Douglas Fir Dimension," and "BritishColumbia Western Soft Pine," respectively. The former publication deals with the qualities of Douglas Fir for structural purposes, and cannot fail to be of interest to architects, contractors, and others. The bulletin is well illustrated, the claims to durability being supported by references to such buildings as the Craigflower Farm near Victoria, erected in 1851, and the Craigflower Public School built in 1853, Douglas Fir having been used throughout except for the roof of Red Ceadar Shingles, and practically no parts of the buildings having had to be repaired. Modern uses of Douglas Fir for structural purposes are instaced by reference to the Arcade Building on Government and View streets, Victoria, erected in 1915, and the new Wharf Reception Room, C.P.R. Dock, Vancouver. Another striking reference is to the Niagars Gulch trestle on the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, built in 1896. Four hundred feet long, one hundred and twenty feet high, and on a ten degree curve, containing three quarters of a million feet of Douglas Fir, the trestle was still in excellent condition and good for further years of service when it was abandoned sixteen years later, owiijg to the alteration in grade. The wood known variously as Western Soft Pine, Mountain Pine, Arizona White Pine, and California White Pine, is described in a similar manner in the publication "British Columbia Western Soft Pine." This pise, which is distributed throughput the southern interior of the Province, is equal in working and finishing qualities to the well known Eastern White Pine, and is now being sold for the same purposes in the same markets. Its uses for dimension and framing timber, siding, and interior and exterior finish, ceiling and partition work, sash and doors, turnery patterns, box material, cooperage, etc., are touched upon in both the text and the illustrations, the latter treating of the course of the log from the forest to the finished material. My Neighbor There is a lock of hair six inches long that only partly covers his bald spot and really accentuates the nudity of his head; there is a protuberance before him which is neither useful nor aes-. thetie; his hands are pudgy and soft and his fingers are stubby and short, with stumpy and un- beautif ul nails. There are short bristly hairs that grow on the end of his nose, the pores of which are large and distinctly visible. He dyes his moustache unskilfully and is kittenish. And he believes that he was created in the image of his Maker.— J.Ps Weekly. THE PROSPECTOR C. i PHAIR Lillooet, B. C.

William Holden, applicant 50" -Sept. 10. A. S. Fillmore, agent Other nations are watching the material development of Canada and other parts of the Empire under the stress of war. The New York Post notes that Canada and Australia are finding a new self-dependence in the economic situation arising out of the conflict. The Post speaks of the new zinc and copper refining industries virtually created by the war, and of the project to refine on the Canadian Atlantic coast millions of dollars of nickle ore that now goes to New Jersey in the form of matte. Many textile and other manufacturers have also benefited by international conditions arising out of the world conflict. The Post adds; "In Australia a commission has just issued a report on the war's effects, showing that the cutting off of overseas supplies has made the Commonwealth more self-supported. Previously, an attempt was made to stop leather exports in favor of home factories, but failed now large supplies once sent to central Europe go to new home plants. One of the greatest wool producing regions in the world, Australia, will probably never again import woollen clothing to half the extent she was doing up to last year." The unprecedented conditions of the last 18 months must have given manufacturers fresh confidence in their own powers, a confidence that will scarcely be dissipated by the return of peace. Some new industries have come to stay, and older industries have learned lessons of adaptability which can never be wholly lost. Two years ago no one would have said that the Dominion in a few months could have accomplished what it has in the increase of production, the augumentation of exports and the favorable readjustment of its foreign trade balance. It is indeed clear, says the Toronto News, that the whole Empire has been awakened to a new appreciation of its own resources and potentialities. In discussing Britain's trade policy the other day Mr. Runciman told the Imperial Parliament that it would be a policy under w'ch ''there shall be no essential article for either the arts of peace or war that we cannot produce within either Great Gritain or the Empire." The Wall Street Journal and other American publications accept the British Minister's statement as forcasting the abandonment of Free Trade. The Journal says: "When the British Empire was summoned to war she tound she had no sugar, no zinc, and very little copper in her whole Empire. She found Canada rich in natural resources, the producer of gold, silver, lead, zinc and nickle in abundance, but without a refinery in the entire Domiaion. Now the meaning of Runciman's declaration is that hereafter there must be refineries in Canada and war and food supplies within the Empire and also that protection by military forces on land and sea is not alone the protection that the British Empire will require." Such comment is significant. The return of peace may see the creation of a tariff alliance against the Teutonic powers, together with reciprocal preferences within the British Empire Certainly there must be closer co-operation amongst all parts of the Empire for all time to come.

Then there always seems to be a certain ostentatious parade in wearing flowing black veils and yards and yards and yards of crepe— it looks as if our grief was such that it might be staunched by a lavish display of black clothing—or that we found a certain amount of consolation and satisfaction out of a death provided we can flaunt our woes m the eyes of a sympathetic world. The heart that truly grieves has a sorrow so sacred that it hides its woe from the eyes of all nor seeks to voice its grievous loss in an ostentatious pagent of black.
