Ge jrge says times are good on the Sound—but not as good as in Grand Forks. The following letter has been received by a friend of the writer in this city: Concentration Camp, 0. M. R., Halifax, N.S., Ma" 13.—Dear Friend: I write you these few lines just to let you and the rest of the boys know I am still on top. We had a very pleasant time running across the continent. The ladies and bands welcomed us everywhere, and I till you, old boy, when I stood on the platform of our, special train of sixteen cars, with two powerful engines, hurrying across the continent to help the Old Country out, I was glad I was a Britisher. There were 612 men from the country west of Winnipeg and 14 officers and a train crew of 28. Pretty fair sized town on wheels. There were 1750 men camped here on our arrival, but the first party left a few days after we arrived, and the second party will leave in a few days. Our vesse arrived from England last night, in ballast and already fitted up, so we won't have to wait long. We, that is, the western men, were reviewed by the^general the other day, and he said that as a body of men we broke the record of the CM. R., both by our conduct and appearance; in fact they have culled the eastern men pretty thoroughly and replaced them by western men. There is a report here that although we were the last to mobilize, and ought therefore be the last to leave here, we are to be the first to go to thn front. Thank goodness for that. You all know that is the place for us, and if they only give us a chance we won't' do a thing —"I guess not, oh no 1" I was appointed chief decorator to the Grand Forks, Nelson and Slocan contingents, and our car was a thing of beauty and a joy forever, both on the C. P. R. and I. C. K. I did it with colored crayons, and the letters were the full size of the ear between window and bottom, and it was greatly admired by all- Here are some of the things that your humble servant had on the car we used on the C. P. R. and I. C. R: "Goodbye, sweethearts;" ' 4th C. M. R.:" "Our motto, Come on, Boys;" "Grand Forks- Garden City—gold-copper, smelters;" "Columbia, paradise of B. C.;" "Slocan, Nelson, Silver City—all three cities;" "We are from the Boundary, country-come and see us, we will use you right." This part of the world has more ladies to the square inch than any I was ever iu before hud to the square mile; aud they are beauties, too, and the khaki is the only uniform for them, in spite of the fact that there are lots of redcoats and artillery soldiers here, but they are "dead ones" compared to the khaki boys. I hope, old friend, you will be able to decipher tli's, as I am writing it on my knee, with about one thousand yellidg men around. Our only hope is that the Boers will not sign the treaty of peace till we have hud a chance at them. The disappointment would be very great to me, at least, after trying to go sooner aud then get there and find it all over. But the reports are not confirmed yet, and we nay still be able to uphold the record of the Canadians who have gone before. I remain your friend, Wildiam Wilde.

Four boys, between the ages of 8 and 12 year, nearly lost their lives by drowning at Nelson, Wash., yesterday. They were playing on the ferryboat, when it broke Irom its moorings and precipitated them into river, Fortunately help was near at hand, and they were soon rescued, but not before one of them had nearly succumbed, There was fully three feet of water awash on the deck of the boat at the time they were swept overboard.
