News of his death was rather unexpected. Early in the month he had gone to Rochester, Minn., for treatment for goitre; at the*-fi_yorably- known Mayo Brothers hospital, and up to the day he iett he was his genial self both in appearance and conversation, Favorable reports as to his condition came regularly until Saturday afternoon when a wire to the effect that his condition was serious was received. The following day Frank Staples, who is on guard duty at the internment camp at Morrissey, left fox* Rochester, arriving there Tuesday eon and Browell (violin), and Mauberg, accordeon.

Goitre of long standing became troublesome the early part of the winter, and to secure relief from this ailment he went to Rochester. As to the exact cause of death the doctor.? ���������are unable to determine. Deceased, who was in his 69th year, wasbbrn in the township of Cavan, in Ontario, April 26, 1847, of Irish-Canadian, parentage, his forebea**s being -among the pioneers of that part of Canada.

Out of a totalof 173 shareholders entitled to vote and take a hand general-; ly in proceedings, at least a hundred were in attendance at the annual , meeting of-the Creston Fruit Growers Union, Limited, in thgj Auditorium, on Monday afternoon. President Jackson opened proceedings promptly at 2 o'clock, the Jh-st order of business. being the reading and adoption of the minutes of; the previous conclave, which was folluw ed by a joint report of the president and board of directors from the president. His report shows the turnover for the year amounted to $52,980, whieh does not" include the strawberries and other produce handled directly by the Wyundel selling agency, for whom the Union acted as selling agents. On this account the Union's percentage was $6,913, as compared with a revenue of $4,098 in 1914. While at first blush the balance sheet is none too encouraging looking, if we savvy the contaption correctly 1915 trading has not been quite so disastrous as would appear���������though there- is no denying a substantial reduction in the $4,662 of accouuts receivable and a like shrinkage in. the $3,886 duo ranchers for the year would help some. However the matter of $1,578 collected since the first of the year shows these accounts are reasonablv sure to district. There he remained until 1888, when he moved into the Tiger Hill section of that province���������staying 23 years in the Holland and Treherne country���������now two of Western Canada's most 'highly-developed agricultural sections. His final move was to the Erickson section of tiie Creston Valley, in 1911, where he has taken life somewhat easier, though by no means living retired. He is survived by his wife and two sons, Roy and Frank, all living,in the Valley, and by one brother in' Saskatchewan and another on the old Ontario homestead, while a sister resides at Syracune, N.Y. In accordance with an oft-expressed, wish the remains will be interred in Brookdale cemetery at Holland, Man., where the two eldest sons of the family are also buried. ' The familiar figure and never-failing optimism and good nature of Richard H. Staples will long be missed. He had the happy knack of impressing all whom he met as to the manner of man he was���������a faculty that mude him a. host, of friend*; and no enemies, re- gardleus of the free and always outspoken expression he invariably gave his views. In their bereavement thoso who mourn haye. the truest sympathy of a wide circle of friends. Roy Staples has taken a et ntract to haul cord wood from vear Erickson to Canyon Siding and there load it on cars for the Canyon City Lumber Co. Mrs. ;Streetor, principal of Erickson school, now living in the Palmer house at the station, has rented the house formerly occupied by Jud. Fulmer. and will move there early in April. Alf. Palmer, one of the guards at the Morrissey alien internment camp, was home on a few days' leave the early part of the week. It is a pleasure to note that Mrs. Roy Telford who went to the hospital at Cranbrook about three weeks ago for treatment for Bright's desease, wos able to return home on Monday, well on the road of recovery.

Sir ('buries Metcalfe, an eminaiu enR'ineeiy described tis a possibility of the not far distant future a trip by rail from I.ondon to t'ape Town. Sir Charles pointed out that when one or two lines now under construction are completed, and a new 100 milt, line is btiiii, communication by rail or steamer will ba. effected from Cape Town to Alexandria and Port Said. A short connection between Port. Said and .lerusaU'in would linl. np Asia Minor. It. was almost certain, lie said, that a railway would be made from Stanleyville to Lake Chad, and French surveys to Lake Chad from Algeria had already been made (across the "Saharai. With a tunnel from Ceuta to th'; Spanish coast, this would give an overland connection with Europe. Sir Charles did not mention the subject of a channel tunnel, but if a tunnel from Ceuta under the much greater distance of the. Mediterranean be possible, as he foreshadowed, it, requires only a little reasonable imagination to link up Charing" Cross and Cape Town. Then in the piping times of peace passengers may jump on the Cape Town through express at lhe London terminus and reach their destination with perhaps one stop at Lake Tanganyika for rest and rs- froshment and 'to admire the view.

"Russia is getting a supply of big* guns from Japan, and the irony of it is that she is sending to Moscow over the Trans-Siberian railway the Krupp guns that were originally shipped from Hamburg* to Japan.

Contributions Should be IVJade to the Patriotic Fund, Red Cross and Sister Associations After the very definite, almost emphatic statement of ths prime minister, at St. John, N.B., on October 20 no further money should be diverted from the Patriotic Fund by well meaning but rather thoughtless people who claim that the equipment of Canadian forces is instiffcient. Sir Robert has made it very plain that the government is fully prepared, to make every necessary provision for guns,' munitions and he appeals to the generosity of the public only on behalf of the Canadian Patriotic Fund, the Red Cross Society and sister associations. We quote below an extract from the speech in question: "Regarding- machine guns, we realized early in the war the necessity of an abundant supply, and orders have been given from time to time for a. very large number. Those ordered during the first twelve months of the war are now being rapidly delivered. and they are more than sufficient to equip two fully army corps up to the highest standard of the enemy's forces. During the past summer the provision of machine guns became a matter of vital interest to the Canadian people, as reports through the press emphasized the necessity that our forces should be adequately supplied with all the machine guns .tlmt could be utilized. Patriotic individuals offered to contribute large sums for this distinctive purpose. The gov-N eminent of Ontario made a similar patriotic proposal, and throughout the country various communities generously .subseribed^to funds for this object. During my absence in Great Britain my colleagues endeavored to make it clear to the people that an ample supply of machine guns had been ordered and that these woul-d be paid out of the Canadian treasury. The treasury of Canada ought properly to bear all the cost of equipping* and maintaining onr forces in the fi /a1 /I rnirl t- V������ o +��������� 11 ������**i r- I-*-./-**. auk * --.-��������������� 1 5 _--���������"������������������ *_������_._*."���������._. uuo. t'itiL .itt������ .TV uccn \jh i i^wm. j- . Nevertheless, the spirit and impulse which prompted our people could not be stayed, and, indeed, any attempt-to stay it would have been misunderstood. Up to date the sums thus received by the government amount to $773,327.95. "In dealing with other needs which will certainly arise, the government will not fail to remember that these generous and free-will, contributions have been made, And ��������� in all'your splendid generosity, do not forgst the Patriotic Fund and ths Canadian Red Cross Society They have done a. great worlc, but thay have a still greater work to do. Appeals which assuredly will not fall on deaf ears must be made in the early future. See that the response is generous and ample. When yon are making provision for the Canadian Patriotic Fund, the Canadian Red Cross Society, the Canadian War Contingent association and other like patriotic organizations, you may be assured that the government will not fail to make every necessary provision for' guns, munitions and equipments."

Incident at The Hague Conference in 1907 is Recalled Admiral Lecaze, minister of marine, in referring in the French chamber of deputies to the sinking of the steamer Ville De L-a Ciotat by a submarine and the incidental loss ol! lives, told of an incident at The Hague conference of 3 907. growing out of a question as to the humanity of German naval, officers. * "I had the honor to. represent the! French navy at Hie conference," said Admiral Lecaze, "and remember the dramatic sitting during which Baron Marschaal von Bieberstein, Germany's chief delegate, regarding as an insult something one French delegate said concerning humane sentiments of German officers, bounded from his chair as if outraged, and stood before us protesting in the angriest of terms against any such reflection. "I hear those words still, spoken before the representatives of 44 countries," continued the admiral, "and say to myself that it is well for yon Bieberstein to be dead before suffering the pain of seeing men whom he had placed so high in public opinion committing a most abominable act, an act premeditated, cold-blooded, .against women and children.

In order that the rural school may give a proper training, teachers must be had. These teachers come from the e.ollegiates or high schools.
