VOL. 3, No. 43 MASSETT, GRAHAM ISLAND, B.C. SATURDAY, t AUGUST 15, 1914 5 Cents per Copy Latest War News. The following bulletins were received by Operator Graef yesterday from Queen Charlotte Citv, being taken from the latest Prince Rupert papers on arrival of the Prince John: London 13th.—A news despatch from Paris states that a great battle on the Belgium frontier was begun today. Over 4,000 guns were in action and their boom was heard along the front of 180 miles. Although the battle is the greatest the world has yet known the Belgium continental censor is careful today to render impossible any clear view of the disposition of the two million men already engaged or moving rapidly to the conflict. The most important known phase of the fighting is still the engagement on the right flank of the first German army where the Belgians and allies are reported to have got in the rear of the Germans, turning their right flank. Brussels 13th.—The Belgium cavalry took the offensive today against the German cavalry division defeated in yesterday's battle of Haelen. The German lost two thousand there Nish, 13th.—The Servian war office Announces today that the Servian troops ai*e steadily pressing their way into Ai istria and have occupied nine Bosnian to^ns. They report the defeat of the Ai-jtstrian soldiers at Vihar stating that th'je enemy abandoned their field equip- tir.ientin their flight toward Esceainitche • Berlin, 13th.—A wireless message from Nauen to Tuckerton N. J., claims that the Germans took one hundred and twenty French Officers ..nd over eleven hundred soldiers prisoners in the fighting near Mulhausen. They also took one thousand French prisoners at the fight near Longwy. Paris 13th.—Several French towns in the vicinity Mourth Et Mossele, on the German frontier, were shelled by German artillery. The German invaders pushed their heavy artillery over the border and the French guns are being rushed to resist them. The French government is today pouring more reinforcements through the defiles of the Vosges mountains to join the French force in Alsace. The cannonade began at ten Wednesday morning the Germans using heavy calibre guns. Although the German artillery was located at a considerable distance away the gunners showed precise accuracy and shells dropped in the streets in all parts of the town. Paris, 13th.—An official report of the fighting between the French and Germans near Ponta Moussones, north of Nancy, was issued today. It says the battle lasted for two days Tuesday and Wednesday. The Germans attacked two French battalions and forced them to fall back. On being reinforced the French made a counter attack and the Germans were routed, leaving many killed, wounded and prisoners, also taking artillery and ammunition. The French followed up and surprised the twenty first Baden regiment destroying it with a battery fire. Brussels, 13th.—The war office admitted today that the Belgian Cavalry suffered a heavy loss in the fighting at Tierlemott on Wednesday, but declared that the allied Franco-Belgian infantry had checked the advance of the German forces. It is reported that heavy fighting is coming on today. The Germans brought their artillery into play wjth deadly effect on tlie advancing forces of the allies. The Belgian lancers, the finest of the army, bore the brunt of the opening engagement at Tierlemont. They fought with great valor, charging the Germans in the face of a heavy fire from machine guns. The government has restored communication with Liege by a round about route and states that not only were the besieged forts still holding out but Belgian troops to the west of the city have resumed the offensive. After a sharp struggle they drove the Germans back, recapturing all the ground lost. Paris, 13th.—The French minister of war explains that the engagements on tne Franco-German frontier are no more than outpost skirmishes at best. A denial is made of the report that the French lost 20,000 men at Altkirch and it is stated the total effective French troops did not reach that number. London, 13.—A Niesch correspondent says the comibined Servian and Montenegro invasion of Bosnia is from Plevge, north west of Novibazar, and is in three columns. Brussels, 13th.—A Regiment of dragoons coming from the direction of Liege attempted a surprise at Ainuffe but were driven off leaving 153 dead and 102 prisoners. London, 13th.—The Admiralty has sent out cruisers to ply the Atlantic and proteet trade routes. The French government has sent out warship to search for the German cruisers known to be in the Atlantic. The enemy's ships will be hunted continually, and although some time may elapse before they are run down they will be kept too busy to do much mischief. London, Aug. 13—Germany concentrating her whole force along the French border. The success of the French arms in Alsace and the fact that her army there has been reinforced by over one hundred thousand British has led Germany to call in her forces surrounding Liege and Namur. These it is believed will be movedjdue south through Luxemburg to join the Kaiser's great army on the Moselle, a few mile from Metz. The German Emperor's plan of battle seems to rely very much on the force of numbers overwhelming the enemy. Victoria, 13th.—Ottawa is being pressed to send the Edmonton artillery to Prince Rupert and begin permanent defence work there. London, 13th.--A Berlin despatch says the German staff admits heavy loss on the Russian frontiers. The Rainbow and Shearwater are now at Esquimalt. G. T. P. Steamers Tied Up At Seattle. Orders were received by Captain Nicholson, manager of the G. T. P. steamships, to withdraw the steamers Prince Rupert and Prince George from service and to lay them up in Seattle. •Consequently the regular service between Vancouver, Prince Rupert and the Queen Charlotte Islands has been interrupted and the Prince John did not arrive at Massett this week until Thursday. Capt. Wearmouth said that the steamers Prince Albert and Prince John would maintain their regular schedule, and as far as he knew the weekly service to the Islands will not be interfered with. Local News Items -o- Will Survey Oil Claims. The fine power launch Nevilene, belonging to H. Nevile Smith, B.C.L.S., of New Westminster, arrived at Massett on Wednesday afternoon from Prince Rupert. Mr. Smith and party are going to the west coast to survey six oil claims for the Northern Oil Co. at Otard Bay. Accompanying Mr. Smith was his wife und daughter, and five men. Capt. Henry Edenshaw will pilot the Nevilene to and from the west coast. -o- Notice. I hereby tender apology to Charles M. Adam and James Martin for any statements made by me regarding any irregularity by either of them in their conduct as postmaster at Graham Centre and Massett, Graham Island, B. C, as I believe all their business is conducted in a manner most satisfactory to the public. Date August 6th, 1914. (Signed) ELMER O'BRIEN. o Leather Medal For C. M. Wilson. Charles M. Wilson of Dslkatlah is to be presented with a leather medal by the Mayor of Prince Rupert. He is warranted to be the - reatest "Bear Yarnist" on the Coast, having a record of finding Polar bears weighing 500 pounds each on the mountains of Massett Inlet. During his recent visit to the oil territory he asserts that he met a bear every fifteen minutes—the woods being full of bears quite different from the little black bears down in the flat country. It is a pity that Mr. Wilson did not take a load of his prize vegetables to Denan Bay and capture a few of the species for the approaching exhibition. Bert Wearmouth came in from the Yakoun River for a few days this week. Capt. Edmund Jenkins of Graham Centre left on Wednesday for England to rejoin his old regiment. J. Brickman and S. Kingsley, two well-known residents of Massett, left for Edmonton on Thursday. Charlie Ives, who has spent the paet few months in Prince Rupert, returned on the Prince John on Thursday. The launch Westover left on Wednesday forenoon for Prince Rnpert with a number of passengers. Among those who went over were Capt. Jenkins, E. H. Lea, M. S. McDougall and J. T. Irvine. Victoria, B. C, 13th.--Albert Goulet, the well known Delkatlah merchant and locator and promotor of Graham Island Oil lands, has enlisted in the 88th Victoria regiment. T. L. Williams and F. Graham were in town from Graham Centre over Tuesday. Mr. Graham took back a quantity of lumber and shingle? for a new house he is erecting on his preemption. Our Victoria visitors will wear their kid gloves when visiting the future oil territorson theislands. "Divil'sClub" in the bush and "Lady's Fingers" in the cities require handling with soft leather over the biceps. The Polaris returned last Saturday from the west coast. She was chartered for several days-by Mr. J. D. Mac- Ken/ie, of the geological survey, who made an examination of the coal *nd oil showings from Langara Island to Seal Inlet. We have heard of men mistaking a man for a deer; but a former resident is credited with shooting a calf when' he aimed at a blue jay. An Irishman may speak twice; but he must shoot straight or pay twenty-five cents a pound for his mistake. Cards announcing the forthcoming marriage of Kitty, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carlyle Brand, of Prince Rupert, to Captain Cecil Wearmouth of the G. T. P. steamer Prince John, have been issued. The ceremony will take place at Prince Rupert on September lst. Mr. Chas. Harrison is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Hogan, who is quite well and enjoying the genial cliamate of Victoria. Mrs. Hogan wishes to thank the many kind friends at Massett for their generous gift, which enabled her to secure the pre-emption at Woden. Graham Island will be to the fore as well as the other parts of the Province in sending volunteers to the front. Some have already left to join their regiments and others are awaiting instructions. Capt. Alex. MacTavish leaves on the next steamer for Vancouver to report to Col. Currie. I QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDER QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDER J. M. CAMPBELL, Publisher.

Massett, B.C., Saturday, Aug. 15, 1914 The meagre telegrams coming over censored wires gives little idea of the course of events in European centres. There is little doubt that grim war is in progress and the greatest struggle that nations ever engaged in will be fought both on the sea and land. Britain with all her might has thrown down the gage to the nation aspiring to govern the seas and was ready—aye ready, when the moment arrived, with ships fully manned and just from an inspection at Spithead. The triple, alliance will now endeavor to crush the nations backing Servia in a fight that was brought on by Austria, after Servia endeavored to ward off the trouble by acceding to all the demands of Austria that it was possible to comply with. It is an unfortunate trait of human nature that men are compelled to take up arms against one another in this age of progress. The old motto that might is right will be exemplified over again among people who claim to be enlightened and at the cost of thousands of lives and the expenditure of vast sums of money. War with its horrors is an awful thing even to contemplate; but it seems to be the only arbiter and must now be faced no matter what the cost. The great nations have been preparing for such and eventuality for many years; but the strangeness of the struggle will be apparent in the old- time enemies on many a battlefield, now fighting together against nations that stood shoulder to shoulder on the field of Waterloo and many other places. Russia, France and Britain have had many a struggle in days of old; but all is now forgotten and they go forth to break for all time the power of one of the most despotic nations that ever existed. Austria set fire to the torch that brought on the general conflagration; but Germany stood behind with a train of explosives that rent the air in all directions. It is questionable whether Italy is in a position to aid in supporting the armies of the other two nations, while Greece, Bulgaria and the small kingdoms must throw in their lot with Russia. It will be a titanic struggle, upsetting trade and commerce and lasting probably for years. Canada will take a part in the defence of the Empire. The Governor-General has cancelled his tour to the Pacific Coast. It is estimated that Canada can raise 60,000 men inside of two months and embark them for any service the Home government may require. Halifax is considered to be prepared for any emergency.

If a clash of war vessels takes place in the China Sea it is the understanding with Japan that they must aid Britain, France and Russia. Britain, Germany, Russia and France have cru- siers in the Orient. The Rainbow and two sub-marines are protecting Briish Columbia coast, Austrians, Slavonians and Germans are*returning home being called to take their places in the army. The Uuited States and Canada will feel the loss of thousands of laborers. Hundreds of thousands of men are working in the various industrial plants and building railways who are army reserve soldiers. It seems passing strange that nations must be drawn into costly wars because Austria and Servia, two small nations with prayers on the lips of their rulers, consider it to their interest to avenge s®me insults and to fight over the animosities that are of their own making. Seemingly it would have been more fitting for the large nations to step in and prevent the war giving all smaller powers to understand that the peace of the whole world is of more consequence than the petty grievances of Emperors and Kings.

P. steamers. Intending passengers are requested to note that the launch will leave promptly when the mail is sorted. For further particulars see Captain Ferguson. (Continued from last week's issue) A week after the ship had sailed away a canoe was in from Skidegate and brought news that it had crossed the bar the day before, having been held by adverse winds. The Indians opinion of it is recorded thus: "The ship has been a great disappointment to the Indians, Capt. Gold especially. They fully expected that she would bring in a great many iktas to be given to them as acultus potlatch. Our friend Trounce has been the cause of this. He told old Gold that his father was going to send a ship for coal, a four-master, that she would be loaded with goods to be given away and that Gold would get the lion's share. Poor, silly, credulous old Gold has been terribly gulled. I tried to console hime by telling him that the ship that had come did not belong to Trounee's father, but that when Trounee's father's ship with the four masts did come he would then have a benefit. He did not say much, but I fancy he looks upon Trounces big ship as a myth. I don't think he looks upon Trounce now as being a great nabob as he had represented himself to be; in fact, the majority speak of him with contempt. There were supposed to be provisions for six months sent up at the time Mr. Russell went to the islands on the sloop Thornton, but the calculation must have been out, for long before they began to give out. The sugar was done on December 18, the coffee on January 13 and the tea fiive days later. Many weeks after that Mr. Russell had a cup of tea when he went on a fruitless hunt for provisions, and he writes: "By way of confession I own to a tenderness amounting almost to the illicit for this seductive extract. I suspect it was popular in the Garden of Epen before the fall." After the coffee was exhausted we read: "Thecook is burning barley and nicknaming it coffee. It is a very fair substitute." The men, upon whom the conditions had cunsiderable effect in spite of the roughness of their nature, began to grumble loudly, and at last Mr. Russell undertook a canoe trip to Cumshewa in search of provisions. At the store run by Capt. Hugh McKay there he was informed by the trader in charge, Mr. Hargreaves, that he could not spare anything, as he had only a week's supply for himself, so a journey of two days each way, not unaccompanied with much danger, was bootless. All Mr. Rnssell got out of it was a very bad cold and chill which struck to him until he left the island for good, and after. "Some Indians have arrived from Gold Harbor," writes Mr. Russell one day, "with a supply of halibut. This is a most delicious fish and when we can get it we have it for breakfast, dinner and supper. Salt beef is at a discount when halibut comes iuto the market. The crabs here are very fine, and a different kind from those got in the water near Victoria. Oysters there are none. Those delicious, pearly little creatures that we eat alive are dead to us here. Clams are in abundance but they savor too much of the Siwash to suit my taste." Lonely as was Mr. Russell's condition at the beginning of his stay at the mine at Hastings, it was ten times worse as time wore on and the winter rains began, with the discomfort and depression they brought. It is evident from the diary that the effect on Mr. Russell was much worse than even he was aware of at the time, and that the very effort he made to avoid sinking into the shiftless ways of so many white men in similar situation increased the nervous strain. Had he put in much longer it is apparent that his mind' might have become affected, so seriously were worry and isolation weighing upon it. The term of his engagement was for six months from the time he left Victoria on September 21,1870. Month by month he notes in his diary the length of time he had been there, and in the latter part of his stay he counts the months until he could be at home again. On March 20,-1871, he records that the six months were up that night, but a month later he was still there and the diary stops as he was about to go in search of "grub" for the men for the second time. It was late that spring before he got back to the city, and considerable more hardship was endured by him before that much-desired end came to h;s experiences. Homesickness grew upon him more and more as the time passed. Frequently through his diary there are indications of his constant thoughts of his wife and children here, and occasional pathetic references to his dead boy. As it came nearer the end of his exile he got to dreaming nightmares about his family, who appeared to be in every sort of trouble, and he had startlingly real visions of his boy in the moments of half-wakefulness twixt consciousness and sleep. It began to affect his nerves, too, that in his later dreams he no longer saw the little fellow on his mother's knee, as had been the case in earlier dreams. There is every indication unconsciously given of the result of dreariness, loneliness and business worry on a cultured gentleman, cut off by what might have been the breadth of the world from anyone to whom he could look for sympathy.

If you knew as much as I do about the future of Delkatlah Bay you would be chasing .me up with payments on your lots. The farming may be a little slow in developing, and the coal seams hard to trace in paying quantities, but Delkatlah is on the eve of development as a Winter Tourist Resort which will place it only second to Prince Rupert in Northern British Columbia. I am not a prophet, for such prophecy only requires the application of ordinary common sense. Buying lots in Delkatlah is like sowing seed—the money disappears like the seed in the ground only to spring up and yield ten fold. Canada needs no summer resort, it has all the summer climate it wants, but from Nova Scotia to the Rockies it needs a winter climate, and that's what we have. The Spring is the time to sow seed. Sow your wages in a lot at the rate of $5.00 a month and have a home in town. Immediately back of Delkatlah pre-emptions are being taken up at the rate of ten a week. That will soon increase values.
