THE HOME PAPER FOR THE CITY OF MERRITT AND THE NICOLA VALLEY Vol. 6. No/10 MERRITT, B.C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1916 Price_5 Cents Telephone line to Mamette Lake���Week Transportation���Recruiting for Cariboo Rangers Forging Ahead Grandson of Riel the Rebel Killed by Hun Shell Fire Deadly Sniper, Chosen to Dies use a on the o��� Nicola Valley Battlefield Snipers' Rifle, 0 In our issue of last week we printed a story telling how a .grandson of the noted Louis Riel, of Riel Rebellion fame had been chosen by Acting Lieut- Colonel H. H. Matthews D.S.O., of Nicola, and o.c the 8th Winnipeg Battalion, to receive one of the four snipers rifles donated by the residents of the Nico.la Valley, through the medium of the Commemoration Day Fund. Since this information, which was conveyed by the Nicola officer from France, appeared in the News, exclusively, the sad intimation has been received that Sniper Patrick Riel has been killed by shell fire. Lon- The official re, ort cabled from don states,��� "Sniper Patrick Riel, of our 8th bat- tallion (Winnipeg Rifles), was killed by shell fire on January 14. He was one of the best snipers of our second infantry brigade, and had been with the 8th battalion since its formation in August 1914. He had 29 Germans to his credit. Riel was a relative of the. famous rebel Louis Riel, and came from Port Arthur Ont. The above' states 29 Germans had been accounted for by Riel, whereas the o.c states in a letter that 35 Germans fell to Kiel's deadly-aim. Blind Indian of 85 Years of Age Crosses the Barrier , "Old Moon," a blind Indian, aged 85, who had been ailing for a long time past, and who was a familiar figure in the district, died at Chulus Reservation on Wednesday. Yesterday^, his Indian friends were" in Merritt buying lumber for what they called "his box," the old man later .being 'reverently laid to rest at the reservation cemetery. K. V.

V. R. received serious injuries to his right hand on Saturday afternoon when his hand got caught in the brake of a car during shunting operations. He was brought to the General Hospital, suffering great pain. On first examination Dr. Lamont was of the opinion .that amputation would become necessary: but yesterday the Doctor informed the ".News," that the fingers could be saved without this operation. s On the Henderson claims work of a progressive nature "will: be commenced -as -soon --as -zero weather has eased a little. The supplies necessary -are being shipped to the mine in readiness. An impression has gained ground in the Nicola Valley to the effect that under the billeting scheme authorized for the City, recruits enlisted in Merritt from now on must stay in Merritt .to be trained. This is wrong. Any and all recruits who sign up have the free choice of being trained in Merritt or being sent to Kamloops for drafting into the regiment they choose to serve, in. A man has the choice of joining whatever regiment he wants to join,provided of course, there are vacancies'. According to reports from Kamloops and other centers recruiting for the Cariboo Rangers, ia brisk. Major Wol- fenden, the live man at the head of recruiting is kept busy every minute' of the day. The major is exceedingly popular and judging by the reports one hears from Merritt recruits who meet MajorWolfenden say they would soonei* serve under the major in the Caribdo Rangers than unde_r any officer in any other regiment. 5 Valley Cut Off . From the Outside Severe Snow Storms Disorgan- " ized Transportation.���The Mails Staff Changes at the Hospital At a special meeting of ths Nicola Valley General Hospital held in the institution on Friday evening resignations were Received from Miss Reed and Miss Steffens, graduate nurses on the staff. The resignations having been-* accepted .it was- resolved on the''recommendation of Superintendent' Miss', Leitch ^that steps "be-taken"to obtain a graduate nurse and a probationer for the nursing staff. - The residents of the Nicola Valley vith other places have felt strongly the effects of severe weather and the loss of ordinary railway facilities during the past week. Owing to the heavy snowfall and blocking of the railroad at points between Merritt and Penticton on the K.V.R. and in the neighboihood of North Bend and Yale on C.P.R. the Valley has been without any of,the much devoured newspapers with war hews, while the outgoing mail was held up from Saturday morning to the following Wednesday evening. The first mail arriving since Saturday evening reached here on Thursday night. Several people in "Merritt and other points in the Valley have been imprisoned heie, travelers to Vancouver, including Mra. J, Welters, wife of ex-Mayor Walters, who left with her children on Saturday's train for the Coast, did not 'get past North Bend owing to a block on the line.^ In consequence she, with others, was a guest of the C. P. R. at the hotel there until Wednesday when the main tracks wrre cleared, and trains for east and west resumed' something approaching normal running. Owing to several feet of snow on the tracks in the Brookmere and Tulameen districts, which kept snowplow crews busy for many hours on end, the endurance of the gangs having teen veil tested by long hours spent with hard work,and much belated meals, _ i '���The feeling of isolation which Nicola Valley people have' experienced this A Neutral's Impressions of a Personal Tour in England An Awakened Great Britain Presents Striking Example of National Energy, Directed and Consolidated (From The London Times) I have just crossed Great Britain from one end to the other, and I have visited innumerable towns and cities. Britain at last, after more than a years delay,is mobilized for war. Her achievement to-day far surpasses the wildest German idea of the ' 'kolossal." I have seen factory after factory, working .steadily 24 hours a day seven day_a week, employing thousands of men and women, making shells, shells, shells ! I have seen factory after factory pnak- ing airplanes; I have seen guns being forced under hydraulic pressure o'f 12,- 000 tons; howitzers forged out of the stoutest steel, which requires 16 hours in a blast furnace to heat, I have seen motor lorries. They had come across England under their own power and stood ready, waiting to be Bent to the front. I have seen dull' brown-coloured, specially constructed staff automobiles, lined np ready for shipment; not luxuriously upholstered limousines of peace times, bnt, like part of a true soldier's kit. they ere fitted with hard seat cushions of plain leather, and steady, small, collapsible tables, I have seen row after row of motor-ambulances of the same brown color not Improvised in construction, but especially devised to save the wounded all possible discomfort. I have seen shell cases, pressed out of the living ingottpt- in leas than five minutes, and shells forged at a Bpeed w^ltgwmg to the customary means of j three times ss great.

In the police, department it is found that while the total revenue in 1914 waB $2,542.70,. contributed principally by fines and costs, the total expenditure for that year was $4617.30, leaving $2*074.00 to be provided, by the city. Last year the total revenue was $8195. 94 ) total expenditure $4091.75; leaving the sum of $895.81 as~the"���cost to-the city. The less the crime and police court convictions the less is the financial revenue derived from police fines and costs. During 1915 about $100 more than in Y 1914 was received from this source. ,-!*-�������};'< At the last day of 1916 the bank overdraft on the current account was $7,981.36 against $6607.80 at the corresponding date in 1914���an increased indebtedness of $1,373.56. The auditor reports that the 1916 taxes collected amounted to 29.12 per cent of the total levy, against 18.61 per cent collected in 1914 and 57 90 percent in 1913. --Other comparisons show that the total of taxes in arrear, with interest was,at Dec". 31st, 1916, $37,007.34, Dec. 31st 1914 $29,038.76, an increase during 1915 of $7,968.58 Electric light rates in arrear at Dec. 31st, 1915 were $1,515 against .$765 at the corresponding period in 1914; water rate arrears 533.78 against $290.60. The following gives an idea of the present position in relation to outstand- ing;city taxes for 1912, 1913, 1914*- Ta. arrears at Dec. 31, 1914 '1912 1913 " 1914 - $1116.00 $10,744.00 $16,077.00 Tax.arrears at i^ec, 31, 1915 1912 1913 1914 ' $856.00 $4,335.00 $12,953,00 The auditors in their official statement under date of January 8th last, comment, in part���"The sinking fund is short hy $4,639.01 but we point out that the surplus of liquid assets amounts to $7,684.57." oc.18 yean of age,; many, of, them, frail alight girls for whom it was difficult to lift the heavy metal, yet the shells are piled up in pyramids about > them on every available space, and the pyramids are growing, growing. At one plant, gaily decorated with flags of the Allies I saw young girls turning out fuses of aluminium and brass. Steadily they worked, without looking op from their lathes. Many, while working, hum a low, crooning tune that seems to mark time with the burrowing note of the knite-edged tool as it cuts deep into the yellow metal. I have seen men working at great forges, where gun parte are cast, straining every nerve and muscle to accomplish their difficult tasks; handling vast lumps of red-hot metal with lightning dexterity. I have seen machine guns by the hundred, and rifles by the thousand, all of most careful workmanship and finish. I have seen mile upon mile of khaki cloth being reemed off by the looms, and thousands of yards of specially prepared white woolen cloth for wrapping propelling charges; hundreds of pairs of knit khaki puttees patterned by a single cut of the knife. This list might be extended indefinitely. The whole North country has been turned into one vast arsenal The deep pall of fog and smoke that hangs low over the great industrial centres of the Midlands, deeper, denser than it has been for some years past, means that England has at last turned with full energy to the mighty tast.. The achievement is the more remarkable when it is appreciated that all' this work is merely a beginning. To-day nearly the entire industrial output of Great Britain is under Government control. It is not, as in Germany, the transformation of industr'y;s such as a factory which in peace time had made lead pencils and was mobilized to make shrapnel or other even more startling changes with which Germany Germany dazzled the world in the early * stages of the war. ^Herein Knglang-I^find, all the.,oId^ plants at work on their usual products; while guns and shells, and airplanes; and all other necessities of war in many. [ cases being made in new factories that have sprung up with mushroom growth all over the country. No more striking example of national energy, directed, consolidated, and centralized under direct Government control, san be found. The master mind behind this gigantic -enterprise haa created a compulsory industrial system, stronger and more powerful than any hitherto devised, even in Germany. Employer and employe have beeh merged into servants of the State. Great Britain awake has chosen the path to victory. Many Men Make Merritt Mining Mecca J. J. Hayes and F. Mansfield Hawkfes, mining men from Seat- tle, arrived in the Citv last night from the Coast and registered at the Adelphi Hotel. They are interested in the copper claims at Stump Lake where some two thousand tons are on the dump ready for sacking and shipment, and will proceed there as soon as weather conditions permit to investigate with a view to working the property. Parties repre? senting the same interests recently visited Stump Lake and after several days stay returned to'Seattle with several sacks of samples of healthy indication. Oscar Lachmund, of the B. C. Copper Gp. who is in the City today\conferred with E. C. Johnson and X. J. Corwin of the Aberdeen Mine relative to the shipping of local ore to Greenwood. . Two cars of Aberdeen Mine copper left recently for the smelters, one to Tacoma, the other to Greenwood. Mamette Lake and Telephone Line Superintendent W. H. Stevens of the Dominion Telegraph Service, in the appropriation he has asken for, for the ensuing year��� includes the sum of $9,300 for the installation of a telephone line between Merritt, Mamette Lake and Savona. Supt. Stevens says the new work will be put into operation immediately provision is made by Parliament at Ottawa. The proposed telephonic -connection between Merritt and Mamette Lake will be a great boon to the increasing number of ranchers in that section which is fast developing. J. T. Robinson, of Kamloops, has long been a strong advocate of'the Merritt, Mamette Lake, Sav.ona line. C. F. Hooper the photographer returned from a visit to Victoria I on Thursday night Another shipment of 100 pairs of 'sox for the Canadian soldiers will be despatched at an early date and all who have any to donate or are now knitting t em are requested to send them in as soon as possible. It was reported to the last meeting of the Patriotic Guild that $8.10 was netted at the last ice carnival for the prisoners uf war fund and it was arranged that at the next carnival refreshments will again be sold for Patriotic purposes. w,w>m* 4fot-% xe^e riV THE NICOLA VALLEY NEWS.,�� TWO MOST CENTRALLY LOSATED HALL In the City of Merritt THE K.P. ;'TH^LLr_ _._���....

What Happened When the Minister Gave the Bridegroom a Timely Hint. A minister was recounting some of his amusing; experiences in. marrying people. "There's an old custom," said he, ;/that tne bridegroom shall kiss tbe bride immediately after the marriage .ceremony is over. It's a good,' -practical custom, for It serves more linudily than anything else that 1 know of to dissipate tbe awkward pause tliut al most always follows a simple. Informal ceremony. For this, reason I keep the custom alive. .. "One day a man whom I shall call Smith came to the parsonage to be married. Wr. Smith was a pompous, consequential little man. , The,prospec tive Mrs. Smith was a flue, -winsome girl. - After*-the.; ceremony Mr. Smith, ln spite of his pouip6-_ity,;did not seem to know just what was tife.nejtttblng to do, so, as Is my practice in such emergencies, I said, 'My dear sir. It la ;your privilege to sftlute the bride.' He turned around and, extending his band formally, said, 'Mrs. Smith. 1 congrat ulate you.' "���Now "York Times. x^xx At if He Didn't Know It.

Middlesboro Wins at Hockey���6-3 An exciting finish and vigorous play marked ;the hockey match played last night between a team from Middlesboro Collieries and Merritt Merchants when the former ran out winners by six goals to three. After considerable ragged and uneventful play extending over the greater part of the first two periods the last period was a transformation, being full of exciting episodes, briskness in attack and stubbornness in defence being seen on both- sides. The scorers of the points for the winners were T. Clark (3) and McKibbin (3) ; Merchants���Boyd (2), Reid (1). Percy Ransom was referee. . There , was considerable controversial argument between, the players and rooters'.of the two teams justprjor to the commencement of the^gamei - The point in dispute was whether Geo.-Wass, a .compositor, employed:at the ���" News " office should rightfully be included in the Merchants' team.
