Reports, both official and unofficial, are that, while continuing bis efforts to widen his salient, tbe enemy appears to be turning the main direction of his movement westvyard, doubtless with the intention of.capturing the railroads to Paris.

News of the City Charles Mudge last week received the first letter from his son, Corp. Monty Mudge, since he has b?eii interned in Holland.. He says he is in good health and is very glad to getaway from Germany, although it is rather hard to get used to^free dom after three years' imprison merit.'

VVilson, of Phoenix, who was trained in this city and went overseas with one of the early contingents, was in the city yesterday-, being on his way to Phoenix to visit his parents for a few days, after which he vyill return to the hospital in Toronto. Mr. Wi son lost his left hand and the major portion of his teeth by German shells at tbe front. ENEMY RATE OF PROGRESS DWINDLES In the police court before Judgp Cochrane on Saturday a Phoenix man was fined $50 and costs for having intoxicating liquor on his pprson at Christina lake on Empire day. Another man, also from Phoenix, was fined $10 and costs for having too much liquor inside his A pathetic motor truck accident occurred at 4:40 Wednesday afternoon midway between the C.P.R. freight sheds and the West end passenger depot, as a result of which Morley Rogers Miller, aged S years and G months, died in the Grand Forks hospital two hours later. The lad was riding on P. C. Peterson's motor truck, and was seated by the side of Mr. Peterson, who driving the car. At the point stated above the boy got out of the seat and crawled onto the side board or steps and jumped to the ground. Iu landing in the soft sand, he is supposed to have fallen on bis face in front of one of the hind wheels of the truck, which passed diagonally over one of his shoulders and the upper portion of his back. Mr. Peterson was driving the car and looking straight in front of him, therefore he did not see how the accident happened, and no one else saw it, but the details' are "supposed to be substantially as stated above. Alter the truck had passed over him, the boy jumped to his feet, but ne fell to the ground again almost immediately. He was hurriedly conveyed to the Grand Forks hospital, where an examination by Dr. Kingston showed that his spine had beeu broken, and it was apparent that there was no chance of saving his life. He never spoke after the accident,and after lingering between life and death for two hours he passed away. The tragical death of the little boy is regarded as a purely accidental one,und no blame is attached to the driver of the truck. The car was running on low gear at the time, and as the road is very sandy at the place it "is not likely that the speed was over three miles per hour. The victim of the accident was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Miller, who are pioueers of the city, Mr. Miller being the senior member of the firm of Miller & Gardner. The lad was unusually bright,' always standing near the head of his class in school, and much sympathy is being expressed by the citizens for the parents in their great bereavement. The funeral from the family resi Toyama .swarm with these little area tures, and fishermen go out with special nets to catch them. When en ugh in the meshes the fish omit their light and cause the nets to sparkle as if charged with electricity. The people regard the sight as wonderful, and rush in great excitement to see it. Pleasure boats are in demand on those occasions, and it is a favorite courtesy to invito a friend to an evening of entertainment in watching the sparkling cuttlefish. SPECTACULAR WAS THE FIGHT On tbe 2Sth three American aviators defeated four German airmen in a spectacular -battle over the American lines in France. One enemy plane was destroyed and the others were driven oil'. The fight raged fifteen minutes The machines were constantly maneuvering in a brilliant manner. Just before the Germans fled the wings of one German plane was entirely shot away, the body dropping like a plummet. Ground Bcin������> Broken for Mill���������Many Men Arc Employed News of the City The frost last week was, from all reports, rather freakish. In some orchards it is said to have done considerable damage to fruit and tender vegetation, while at other places not even the .tender tomato plant was injured. No damage is reported from the lower part of the valley. When the full eflVct of the frost is ascertained,it may possibly turn out to be a: blessing, by automatically thinning the fruit. The cold snap The Canada Copper corporation has been engaged for two weeks in breaking ground for the concentrating mill at its Copper mountain mine, the big raise from the deep tunnel is nearing a point half way to the upper level, and railway grading is in progress between Princeton and the mill site, according to a statement made by Oscar Lach- mund, general manager of the company, in Spokane last Monday. The railway is being built by Coniractor Tierney for tho Kettle Valley line. "The mill will have a floor area of 140 by 300 feet and will be composed of two units of 1000 tons each," said Mr. Lachmund. "The plans contemplate the addition of units as conditions warrant. "The raise is up 300 feet and lacks 450 feet of the upper level. Raises are proceeding in ore fiom the upper level. "We expect to engage in diamond drilling from the lower level dowi.-' ward, as we have reason for belief that additional ore may be developed there. "A steam shovel is at work on tlie railroad grade and Contractor Tierney has let subcontracts for the per- that district. The Red Cross dance at Christina is said to have been quite severe in the Okauagan valley, and reports of I formauce of grading between the considerable damage comes from town and the mill. Men are at work. '���������About 130 men are employed in the mine and 100 at the mill, including those in tbe employ of the Summerland Lumber company, which is cutting material that will enter into the construction of the ooncentrator."

FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1018 The situation on the. western front during the past two days has been of a decidedly critical nature, and even now, although the advance of the enemy appears to have been partially stemmed, it is sufficiently serious to cause considerable anxiety for the immediate welfare of the allied armies. But slight temporary successes of the enemy will have no bearing on the ultimat0 outcome of the struggle. They will only have a tendency to make the allied nations and their armies, more, determined, and viewed in this light the present small advance made by the Hun may prove to be a factor in shortening the war. "Garry on." : '���������������������������.'��������� ��������� ������������������������������������:'.��������� ^ It is reported that the severe frosts of the past two weeks have done considerable damage to the fruit crop in this province. It is liot thought, however, that the loss will be very heavy, as nearly all the frozen fruit can probably be used for making frosted fruit cake.

The chief of police of Calgary has been rounding up the idlers and twenty men were arrested recently. In most casesrthe knowledge that they were liable to heavy fine or imprisonment has driven the loafers to work. The result has been that many men have been secured for farm vnd other employment. The Grain Growers'Guide says that the farmers of western Canada are fully in agreement with thc farmers of the United States who recently declared that they were not profiteers and that they considered the price of $2.20 per bushel for wheat was sufficiaiit. The magnificent quality of the sacrifice made by Canadians on the western fighting front is pretty well fixed in the minds of all who have followed the record of the war, says the New York Evening 8un. The offer- iiig-of 10,000 lives at Ypres alone was a glori ous' deed, but it has been.followed up by the steady support of the Dominion wherever called upon to carry arms. Moreover, the,support given by Canadians in Canada is not to. be considered less importaiv/'tlian her faithful service in France. We are just beginning to ti . o yJ realize, 'in the United States,-how integral and necessary a part of the work of war is the industrial and economic and financial work which is done far back' of the fighting front. The devotion and sacrifice of the Canadian people at home has been so great as to command unqualilied admiration. The.ir devotion has resulted in splendid achievement, and has, incidentally, brought gratifying consequences to communities and individuals. In a word, it has paid them well, both in concrete results for war supplies of all kinds and in maintaining and bettering the genenal morale of the ivilu Our system of eye examination enables us to correctly fit lenses which relieve eyestrain and eye troubles. %= JEWELER AND OPTICIAN GRAND i?ORKS, B.

This is the big question over at the psychiatric unit at the naval training station at Great Lakes, 111. A few days ago Ensign John Snarpe discovered an ex-sleight of-hand performer among tho recruits in detention. Mr. Sharpe seized the opportunity for some fun. He called the psychiatric unit, asked for Chief Yeoman Dodds and said: j "I have a loon I am going to send 1 over. He is as crazy as a bat, so I watch out for him." I Then turning to the sleight-of-hand i man he remarked: ' 'Go over and shosv them a good time." When the "loon" appeared at the unit, Dodds shosved him to a "seat, brought out the various blocks .and puzzles and started to find out wheth 0r his patient was born crazy or attained it later. "Take these blocks"���������Dodds began. But the blocks had disappeared. Business of searching high and low, but no blocks. Dodds registered consternation, excitement, _ perplexity���������but still no blocks. "I think you-will find them'in your right coat pocket," said the man being examined. And sure enough,there thev were. Dodds tried again. "Nowhere is a picture, look at i ten seconds and tell me about it." "Where is the picture? This is only a piece of paper," said the mystery man. Dodds replied, "I gave you a picture." "Here is what you gave me, sir." Tho picture was gone. Dodds was certain he handed it to the sleight-of- hand man. "Did you look in the chair, sir1?" asked the "loon." Dodds found he was sitting on the very picture he had just handed the actor. Several things disappeared in like manner until it was suggested that some one certainly did need an examination���������but not necessarily the sleiaht-of-hand man. When he left Dodds was counting blocks. Student ol Human Nature "Did you see the boss1?" ��������� "No, bnt I saw a feller that's tendin' office for him." "Flow did you know he wasn't the boss?"
