BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1915.\nPrice Five Cents\nT\nLEAVES FOR TRAINING CAMP.\nHeaded by Mayor Gillett and\nLieut. Van De Byl, and marching\nto the inspiring music of the city\nband, the Prince George contingent of the 62nd Regiment\nmarched to the depot on Tuesday\nevening, and left for the west at\n8-30.\nAt least half of the city's population was at the depot to bid\nthe boys good-bye and wish them\ngood luck. It was the second\noccasion that the people of this\ndistrict had to face the actualities of war in the parting from\nold friends and the giving up of\nhusbands, brothers, sons, and\nsweethearts. As a whole, however, it was a cheerful gathering\nwith the soldier boys in the best\nof spirits. During the brief wait\nuntil the train's arrival, the band\nplayed patriotic airs, and the\nfinal good-byes were said.\nA huge streamer decorated the\ncar on which was inscribed:\n\"Prince George Contingent - 7000\nmiles to Berlin.\"\nJust before the train arrived,\na bright little Japanese boy in\nfull khaki regimentals, including\nminiature knapsack, rifle, and\nsword, was carried on the shoulders of his father through the\ncrowd on the platform, And the\ncheers that little Jap received\ncould be heard for blocks. The\nminiature soldier shook hands\nwith everyone within reach, thoroughly enjoying the enthusiasm\nhis appearance had created.\nOwing to the short notice sev-\neral of the enlisted were given a\nweek in which to settle up their\naffairs, and these will consequently leave next Tuesday evening.\nThose leaving with the first\ncontingent were:\nWilliam Brown, A. Harry Seys\nJohn H. McKinnon. Charles McLaughlin, J. Thomas, E. Kemp-\nson, Peter Smith, William Inglis,\nW. V. Wightman, F. Dyhrman,\nA. Morrison, John C. Scott, W.\nA. Roberts, J. Baker. J.

Waldie, D. C. Philips, Colin\nK. Mackenzie, J. B. Stevenson,\nJno. Buchanan, S. W. Turner,\nand A. W. Nicholson.\nRobert Burns,\nOn the Germans.\n(Montreal Standard.)\nThe opinion ot Robert Burns\non the Germans is of extraordinary interest at the present moment We are sometimes inclined\nto think that all the sins of the\nleutons date from modern times.\nThat they were held in utter detestation over a hundred years\nago by Scotland's national poet\nis a remarkable fact,\nBurns had too wide a view to\nrail in Pharisaic fashion at his\nfellow-man. His condemnation,\ntherefore, has all the more force.\nIn a letter written to the Rev.\nDr. McGill, of Ayr, he admits\nhis incompetence to express his\ndetestation of the Germans.\nHe states: \"Ignorance, superstition, bigotry, stupidity, malevolence, self-conceit, envy\u00E2\u0080\u0094all\nstrongly bound in a massive\nframe of brazen impudence.\nGood God, sir, to such a shield,\nhumor ii the peck of a sparrow,\nand satire the popgun of a schoolboy!\" That ii fairly strong language, but stronger is to follow.\nThe letter proceed? : \"Creation\ndisgracing scelerats such as they,\nGod only can mend and the devil\nonly can punish. In the uncomprehending way of Caligula, I\nwish they had all but one neck.\nI feel impotent as a child to the\nardor of my wishes. Oh I for a\nwithering curse to blast the Ger\nmans of their wicked machina\ntions. Oh ! for a poisonous tornado winged from the Torrid\nZone of Tartarus to sweep the\nspreading crop of their villainous\ncontrivance to the lowest hell!\"\nWe think it would be fairly\ndifficult for any modern man of\nletters to surpass that little bit\nof invective. And how exactly\nwe might re-echo the opinions of\nBurns expressed so long ago,\nWe do not know what was the\nparticular occasion for the poet's\nindignation, but the extraordinary revelations of the past few\nmonths have fully justified the\npoetic wrath.\nThis is the Man Who is Responsible For the War in Europe.\nWogo Tankositach, who Latched the plot for the assassination\nof Prince Ferdinand, of Austria.

The Scorpion\nopened fire and few of the enemy got away.\n\"Simultaneously the enemy attacked a knoll which we\nhad captured due west of Krithia, advancing from a nullah\nin close formation in several directions. The attack came\nunder artillery and enfilading, rifle fire, the enemy losing\nheavily. The foremost Turks got within forty yards of\nthe parapet, but only a few returned.\n\"The Turks made several heavy bomb attacks during\nthe night, our troops being twice driven back a short distance. Early in the morning we regained these trenches\nby a bayonet attack. They have since been strengthened.\nAt 5-30 a.m. 2,000 Turks moving from Krithia into a\nravine were scattered by machine gun fire.\n\"The operations reflect great credit on the vigilance\nand accurate shooting of the Scorpion. The Turkisk losses\nin the nullah and ravine are estimated at from 1,500 to\n2,000 dead.\nLieut.-(len. Hildebrandt, commander of a (lerman infantry\ndivision, fell in battle on July 2.\nAnother lieutenant-general, Von\nPezel, has died of wounds received in Flanders,\nWONDERFUL GROWTH IN\nUPPER FRASER VALLEY.\nW. A. Willits, of Winnipeg,\nwho owns a number of timber\nlimits on the upper Fraser, returned to this city early in the\nweek from a tour of the upper\ncountry. An agriculturist of many\nyears' experience, Mr. Willits if\npirticularly enamored of tht\nwonderful possibilities of the Fraser valley region, and brought t<\nthe city a big sheaf of timothy\nand alsike clover grown on tht\nranch of Jno. Graham, about 26\nmiles east of here. The grasses\nwere measured in the Herald\noffice, the timothy being 68 inches high, with heads averaging 11\ninches long. The clover was\nheavily leafed and 54 inches long.\nThese samples were taken from\nfields on Mr. (Iraham's ranch and\nwere a fair sample of the ciop,\nDoubting Thomases may see them\nfor themselves in M. C. Wiggins'\noffice;\nThe provincial government early in May. threw open to the public a large tract of land lying\nalong the Grand Trunk Pacific\nrailway and the choicest land in\nthe Fraser Valley. Only a small\nfraction of this land was applied\nfor by prospective settlers, and\nthousands of acres are ready for\ntccupancy. Much of it is viry\neasily cleared. 1 ying, as it does,\nalong the railway where stations\nare located at short intervals, the\nquestion of crop transportation is\nsolved for the settler. This\nwould seem to dispose of criticism\nlevelled against the provincial\nland department as to the availability of land near to transporta\ntion.\nAfter deliberating over the\nquestion of temporary city hall\npremises for many days, the city\ncouncil at last night's session\nchose a former disorderly house\non Third Avenue, five blocks;\nfrom the business centre of the\ncity, as premises in which to,\ntransact the city's business.\nStrong opposition was made to\nthis selection by Aid. Lambert,\nLivingstone, and Parks, but Mayor Gillett cast the deciding vote\nin its favor.\nMore convenient and better\nsituated quarters had been offered the council and at a lower\nrental. The city pays 830 pet-\nmonth for the ex-bawdy house.\nAid. Livingstone aroused the\nire of His Worship when he stated\nthat the mayor and council had\nbeen elected on the promise of a\nclean city, and he was not in\nfavor of the city paying rent to\na prostitute.\nMayor'Gillett waxed exceeding\nwrath, and declared the alderman's statements out of order.\nThe city is today seething with\nindignation over the council's\naction of last evening, and proceedings of diverse kinds are\nthreatened.\nThe house in question is a\ntwelve-roomed edifice and has an\ninteresting history. Two years\nago it was erected by Irene Jordan, a woman of the underworld,\non the western limits of the Fort\n(leorge townsite. Those were the\ndays when railway construction\nwas at its height, and money was\nplentiful among the parasitic\nclass. The people of Fort (leorge,\nhowever, put up a strenuous fight\nagainst a plague spot of its kind\nin their town, and the police\nclosed the house on its opening\nnight. The furnishings, piano\nand liquid refreshments were removed and the house stood in\ndisuse until early this spring,\nwhen it was moved from its\nwestern location to property on\nThird Avenue, which had been\npurchased by the Jordan woman.\nNo \"For Rent\" cards decorated\nthe windows; the owner, nodoubt\nthought a tenant would be hard\nto obtain for a house of ill-repute.\nWhen the city council advertised for temporary premises this\nbuilding was among those offered, the affair culminating in last\nnight's deliberations of the city's\naugust fathers,\nThose voting for these premises were Aid. Ruggies, Eagel and\nEllis, and Mayor (lillett.\nAid. Livingstone, Lambert and\nParks, opposed the council's action.\nJust how to apportion \"ihe\nhouse of many chambers\" is a\nproblem to some of the city officers today. A citizen who is in\nthe confidence of the administration gave the Herald a brief outline of the officials' ideas on the\nmatter. The large parlor and\nwine closet to the right of the\nentrance will be made into a\nchamber for the aldermanic deliberations. On the opposite side\nthe two parlors will be devoted to the business of city clerk\nand the assessor. Mayor Gillett\nwill occupy the largest bedroom\nwith Aid. Ruggies esconsed in\nthe boudoir adjoining. The housekeeper's room has been awarded\nto Aid. Ellis. The remaining\n\"pawlaws\" and boudoirs will be\nawarded to the various aldermen\nand officials after Aid. Eagel has\nmade his choice of apartments.\nRatepayers in search of officials\nare requested lo walk right in and\nnot bother about the electric bell.\nAll citizens and supporters of\nthe administration are invited to\nhire a conveyance and pay a visit\nto the new quarters. Later the\ncouncil hopes to give a house-\nwarming on an even more elaborate scale than the previous one\ngiven within the histori: walls.\nNotice to Volunteers.\nVolunteers wishing to enlist with the delayed contingent from Prince George,\nleaving here on the 13th of\nJuly, must report at Government Offices on or before\nthe above mentioned date.\nVolunteers who have enlisted will report daily at\nthe King George Hotel to\nActing Corporal Service, at\nthe hour of 7 p.m.\n(Signed)\nR. C. S. Randall.\nLondon, July 6.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Petrograd\ncorrespondents of the London morning\npapers were optimistic regarding the\nsituation on the front. The correspondent of the Morning Post says:\n\"It was only on Friday that the\nRussians began ottering real lesist-\nance to the German forward movement northward from Galicia. The\nwhole area which Russia will hold\nas a Brobdignagian redoubt against\nthe encircling Germanic forces centres on the Warsaw system of fortifications. The outer works are of such\nvast extent, having a diameter of one\nbundled miles, that thc Germans have\njefote them the hartk-t task yet met\nin the war,\n\"After Thursday next nobody will\nbe allowed to entor or leave Warsaw\nwithout a special pn.-.s. Similar\nmeasures of military preparation are\nbeing taken at other important points\nin this vaBt area.\"\nThe Petrograd correspondent of the\nTimes saysi\n\"No apprehension is entertained as\nto the fate of Warsaw in the struggle,\nfor the city bids fair to be protected.\nEven if the Germans should reach\nIvangorod this would not r.e 'essal'ily\ninvolve the surrender of Warsaw.\n\"Tlie Russian waiting game, in fact,\nhas been justified. The critic of the\nNovoe Vremya correctly explains the\nwithdrawal is a ma .oeuvro deliberately undertaken with tbe object of\nacceptingb attle under the best condition for the Russians. Me adds that\non the Vistula front the ground which\noffers the Russians the greatest advantage is that with Hrost-I.itovsk as\na base, Ivangorod on the right ank\nand a strong army occupying the flank\nnnd rear positions in relation to the\nright flank of Gen. Von lloehm-\nErniolli's army.\"\nLondon, July (1.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Daily Telegraph's Petrograd correspondent\n.\u00E2\u0080\u00A2ables:\n\"Although thc Russians continue\ntheir deliberate and orderly withdrawal into the centre of the Lublin and\n('holm governments signs are multiplying that the day is not far off when\nthey will finally stand their ground.\nThe attitude of the best informed as\nto the ultimate issue is one of confidence.\"\nA semi-official statement goes so\nfar as to assert that Russia could now\nbe in the possession of the enemy's\nborder if she had thought it wise to\npay the price, but her mind has been\nsteadily concentrated on the ultimate\nissue of the war.\nHer goal still is, as at the com\nmencement of the cumpaign, \"the com\nplete disarmament of the Germans\nand the destruction of their militarist\npan-German organisation of states.\"\n\"The threat to tnke Warsaw, if such\nexists, apparently comes from the\nsoutheast, and wo have no certain\nknowledge of the situation in that\nquarter. There seems no doubt that\nthe Russians in chief command take\nthe stand that no temporary abandonment of teiTitory will be allowed\nto obstruct the attainment of the final\naim of the allies.\"\nGermans Attempt to\nCrush Spirit of Belgians\nBrussels, July 7.\u00E2\u0080\u0094An order has\nbeen issued by Gen, Von Biasing, German governor of Belgium, providing\na year's imprisonment for school\nteachers, directors or impectori who\n\"permit further, bring about, or effect anti-German notions or itate-\nmenta In their teaching or in other\nschool exercises,\"\nPower is conferred upon German\nofficials to supervise and inspect\nschools at all times.\nOld Map Responsible\nfor Mining Disaster\nNanaimo, B. C, July 6.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Enquiry\ninto the North Wellington mine disaster, in which 19 lives were lost, opened this afternoon before Justice\nMurphy. General Manager Tomkin,\nof the Pacific Coast Company, told\nthe court of his connection with the\nmine in which the disaster occurred,\nlie admitted that the breaking\nthrough from the South Wellington\ninto the Old Soulh Fork was due to\nthe use of a map by his company\nwhich they believed was drawn on a\nscale of a hundred feet to the inch,\nwhereas subsequent events showed it\nto be 182.\nIf the use of these old plans had\nbeen continued in February, 1915, he\nwould have known he was near the\nold workings, but by the plans actually used they did not know, no scale\nbeing on the maps in use. The question never rose in his mind as to the\nscale of the South Field mine until\nasked by Inspector Graham after the\ndisaster.\nSaskatchewan Hotels\nNot Good Mortgage Risk\nRegina, July 7.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Large crowds of\nReglnaci tizens watched fifteen drays\ntake load after load of chairs, rug!\ncarpets, beds and interior furnishings\nof all kinds from the Grand hotel early\nthis morning.

Dun & Co., Visits North Country and Advises\nEdmonton Business Men of the Situation.\nEdmonton, July 5.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"It's up to\nthe business men of Edmonton\nto get busy and look after their\nown interest.\" were the words\nof C. E. Darby on his return\nfrom a business trip on behalf of\nthe R. G. Dun & Co., of which\nhe is manager, through the Peace\nRiver and Grande Prairie districts.\nIt was not only their duty to\nmake themselves conversant with\nthe vast possibilities of the country, but to become acquainted\nwith the businessmen themselves\nfor, continued Mr. Darby it\nwould seem altogether probable\nthat with the linking up of the\nPacific Great Eastern railway\nfrom Prince George with the\nmain line of the E. D. & B. C,\nboth imports and exports from\npractical.y all this country will\ngo to and from the coast, and it\ntherefore behooves the business\nmen of Edmonton \"to make hay\nwhile the sun shines.\"\n\"I was very agreeably surprised,\" he continued, \"with conditions in the northern country as\nI had been told that there was\nlittle or no money off the line of\nrailway and that most of the\nfarmers were penniless homesteaders. I made the round trip\nfrom Peace River Crossing,\nthrough Waterhole, Vanrena,\nDunvegan, Spirit River, Grande\nPrairie City, Lake Saskatoon,\nBeaver Lodge, Bezanson, and\nback down the Smokey River to\nPrudden's Crossing and end of\nsteel on the E. D. & B. C. main\nline. I found conditions off the\nline of railway infinitely better\nthan those existing at the end of\nsteel towns, in fact conditions\nfully as normal as prevailing in\nordinary rural districts around\nEdmonton, Ready markets for\nthe moment is the chief drawback, but with the approach of\nsteel to Peace River Crossing this\nwill be rectified to an extent in\nthe early fall.\n\"In the vicinity of Grande\nPrairie and Lake Saskatoon the\ngreater percentage of the settlers\nhave for the most part done their\nduties and are expecting their\npatents very shortly. There was\none complaint which was very\ngeneral on the part of the merchants, which was that there\nwere far too many homesteaders\nwho had come with just about\nenough money to pay their $10\nfee and then not being able to\nmake a 'do' of it, they left in\ndisgust and gave the country a\nblack eye by saying that it was\nimpossible to make one's living\nin it,\"\nMr. Darliy believes it to be a\ncountry of the vastest possibilities, with millions of acres of as\nfine land as any in Canada, and\nhe speaks with an experience\ngained from having driven from\nthe (ireat Lakes to Edmonton.\nCertain low - lying sections are\nsubject to summer frosts, but as\nhas been the case both in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the opening up of the country and the\nbreaking of the land will to a\nlarge degree eliminate this drawback . The land around Vanrena,\nWaterhole and Grande Prairie is\nvery siniilar in character to that\nof the Clover Bar district. The\npossibilities of the cattle industry\nalso strongly appealed to Mr.\nDarby, who stated with a sigh of\nreminiscent pleasure that he had\nnever eaten such tender and juicy\nbeef as that fattened on the pea-\nvine prairies in the vicinity of\nGrande Prairie City. \"I was\ntold,\" he added, \"that cattle of\nall kinds, as well as horses, when\nonce acclimatized, thrived well\nwith little or no attention.\"\nWhen steel had made the country tributary to Spirit River and\nPeace River Crossing accessible,\nDun's manager prophesied a\nsteady and rapid development,\nwhich would see the cost of living\nreduced, owing to the heavy cost\nof freighting being obviated.\nNew York, July 5th.\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Deeds\nrecording the transfer of .7,230,-\n000 of real estate from William\nWaldorf Astor of England, to his\nyoungest son, Capt. John Jacob\nAstor, on file here, were declared\ntoday to constitute the largest\ngift of real estate other than by\nbequest ever recorded in New\nYork City. The deeds were filed\nyesterday by counsel for the elder\nMr. Astor's interests in this\ncountry.\nThe gift included half of the\nold Astor House, the other half\nof which was torn down two\nyears ago and two office buildings\nin the financial district.\nCapt, John Jacob Astor by this\ngift becomes one of the largest\nreal estate holders of Manhattan\nIsland. He joined the English\narmy several years ago and went\nto the front with the British\ntroops early in the war as captain of the first Life Guards.\nFrance is going to tax non-\nfighters. A bill has been introduced in the Chamber of Deputies providing for a monthly tax\nof 75 cents plus a 20 per cent,\nincrease in direct taxation upon\nall males who have not joined the\narmy.\nThe Amsterdam correspondent\nof the Morning Post sends the\nfollowing : \"Ten of the crew of\nthe twenty were drowned when\nthe Dutch lugger Katwyk 147\nstruck a mine in the North Sea.\"\nPrepartory to making the production of spirits a state monopoly, an Austrian ministerial decree prohibits the erection of new\ndistilleries and increases the tax\non spirits from 10 to 14 cents a\nlitre.\nThe\nFisherman's\nParadise.\nIT BEATS ME why you local\nfishermen are content to potter\nabout on the little two-by-four\nlakes round town when you can\nGet up to STUART LAKE\nso easily and cheaply, and get\nreal fishing.\nFifteen Dollars will cover the return fare.\nThe lake is provided with boats of all descriptions, and the accommodations are unequalled.\nPeople who have tried the fishing, swear that it\nis the finest they have ever had.\nSome of you business men should take a\ntrip up there when business gets a little quietor.\nIn addition to the fishing, you will see the finest\ncountry in B.

B. Reynolds, a San\nFranciscan, who is fighting in a\nCanadian regiment in France.\nReynolds is recovering from\nwounds received when he crept\nfrom the trenches at night in an\nattempt to cut the barb wire entanglements before a German\ntrench. The Germans discovered\nthem and Reynolds' five companions were killed in a few seconds\nby machine gun fire, while he\ncrept back to the trench badly\nhurt.\nExtracts from Reynolds' letter\nfollow:\n\"In machine gun fire not one,\nbut a dozen bullets are likely to\nhit a man.\"\n\"I saw two platoons charge a\nwedge-shaped short trench lined\nwith machine guns. Our trench\nwas forty yards from it. Although our boys got some hand\nbombs into the enemy's trench,\nthey never reached it and only\ntwo of them came back, both\nwounded.\"\n\"We have a fine lot of fellows,\nand when they start nothing\nstops them but death. It is curious how happy and contented\nthe fellows are with it all. I met\na bunch coming out who had\ngone in 1100 strong. They came\nout with 750, but they were playing mouth organs and singing\nand whistling, as if they had\nbeen on a pleasant route march.\"\n\"Eight soldiers of the enemy\nin Highland dress came over carrying four stretchers. They got\nwell within our lines before the\ndeception was discovered. They\nhad a machine gun and three\nstretchers of ammunition for it.\nThey had no chance to get back\nalive and knew it when they\nstarted. But they might have\nwiped out half a battalion before\nthey got caught so they took the\nchance.\"\n\"The only thing we have the\nbest of them is on the bayonet.\nThey do not like it and usually\nrun before our boys get to them.\"\n\"Contented with duty done is\nthe feeling of the fellows-yet\nall hoping for the war to end\nsoon before we get ours (either\nkilled or wounded) for if it lasts\nlong enough, of course, a man is\nbound to get hit and some fellows\nare real glad to get a nice little\nwound so as to get a good rest.\"\nGovernment archives and\nprecious objects in the mosques\nat Adrianople have been removed\nbecause of the fear that Bulgaria\nwill soon enter the war against\nTurkey.
