One year has sufficed for him to guide the ship of state of Matsqui, and'' during the past year he has done well, considering the fact that it is one of the most difficult years that the municipality, has seen. There is a large amount of taxes owing, that, should/be paid, and no doubt would be paid had'it not been for the hard times. ' To finance the municipality, under such circumstances has been the lot of the reeve and his council of 1915. That they have succeeded in maintaining the credit of the municipality is a credit and honor to the stability^of the men sitting at the council board. The next question that the people of Matsqui will, have, to deal with is to elect a reeve and a council for the coming year that will be-able to still maintain the credit of the municipality until such times as the taxes are paid that \"are now due and the taxes for 1916. Several men have it is understood been approached on the matter of be-' ing candidate \"for reeve. Among these are two of the present council��������� Councillor Melander and Councillor McCallum, both of whom have'excellent records as councillors'and having served on the board for a number of years. But they will not contest the reeveship against each other. It is a kind of mutually agreed that if one, is nominated for reeve the other drops out. ��������� \\n -' ..

Does it not seem to lie vory contradictory these days, and yet the papers arc blamed for not publishing the truth. The news service of the daily papers is controlled by an association or associations that are not publishing the real truth these days about the war. They arc all American concerns and in some cases the directors, we are told are very much anti-British, .and consequently the news is \"doctored\" to suit other interests besides the poor Canadian dailies. The time is ripe for an All-Canadian News Service, and we believe it would be in the interests of Canada if the Borden government would take hold of the matter, so that Canadians would get the war news, and the news of the world from a Canadian standpoint. But the daily papers have to take the war news as it comes to them or reject it, and the rejecting of it is not always in the readers interests but Canadians will have to learii to read between the lines, until we get a better service. for business in hard times���������in war Is it Count Barn Storm (spelled Bernstorc), or Mexico?

RED CROSS FINANCIAL NEEDS Another break has come in the career of the Coquitlam Star���������and it has failed to materialize in our sanctum sanctorum for a couple of weeks. Last year it took a holiday too and not until another appeared on the scene did it open up again, under new management. That leaves the Fraser Valley Record the only paper published in the Dewrdney riding. The editor never makes enough money ��������� to lay off for a couple of weeks or .a month or more, and so no matter what happens we have to -publish each week���������and just think how nice it would be if we made a bout ?\"8000 in four issues, with a little paid in advance before the 4th Issue was off, then we could rest on our reputation while we collected the balance. The Star gloried unceasingly when it had the field to itself \"again, but its day has come to be a fallen Star. Berlin and Ford chatters peace! Peace on earth! The. powder is not all used up' yet, so the Allies say. The way of the neutral seems hard these days. It would seems that he who tries to straddle the fence does not find it a bed of roses. When Carnegie got \"ungodly rich\" he started libraries to disseminate knowledge to the man who was unable to purchase a library of his own When Ford reached the same happy' upon every form of national or in Anyone who wishes to gain an i- dea of the expenses which the Red Cross has to meet, should consult the financial report of any hospital. A first class modern hospital requires elaborate scientific aparatus of all kinds. In all its appointments it needs the best that money can buy or else its work is a failure. The fact that the new General Hospital in Toronto, with accommodation for a few thousand patients, cost in the neighborhood of $2,500,000 will give some idea of the task of the Canadian Red Cro'ss which has to provide for tens of thousands of patients. Perhaps a large part of the general public is of the impression that Red Cross work is only hurried relief work, requiring in the way of equipment, only a few yards of ban- . dages, a parcel of splints, a few: stretchers, bearers and motor ambulances. ��������� The equipment of the aid is, it is true, not elaborate, but it should be remembered that conveying,the wounded from the firing line is only the , beginning .of Red Cross activity. The wounded soldier has' to be nursed back to health. His injuries are such as to need the utmost possible perfection of surgery. The Red Cross cannot . provide proper medical attention except with all the aparatus of a perfectly appointed hospital. You cannot .cure wounded soldiers any more cheaply than you can cure any other class of men False medical economy means thousands of avoidable deaths. In the rear of the colossal armies now locked in terrible combat, thousands of hospitals are needed, each with a perfect equipment. The expense of this is enormous, ��������� but it is all things that the a prior claim certain^-ahoye wounded soldier has state of financial influence he started on a tour, calling \"Peace, Peace\" in order to advertise himself to accumulate more riches. That's the difference between the two men. Another fellow says that when Carnegie got so he could write a big cheque he put the Hague on a financial basis, but money would not 'make .the mare go' Now when dear Ford gets so he don't care just how many dollars are rung up on the cash register each day, he collects a lot of other people and starts out to resurrect the Hague dividual wealth. The Red Cross must be supported .and maintained in the greatest possible state of efficiency. Let everyone who is disposed to make a low estimate of its financial needs, make some inquiries as to the cost of running ne hospital anct then multiply that sum by 10,000 or more. He will then have a striking arithmetical proof of the gigantic financial burden of the Red Crss Society. Quakers and the Red Cross It would not an exaggeration to British Columbia's Leading Dentists say. that the Society of Friends was the real ancestor of the modern-Red Cross Society. M. Henri Duant the Swiss Samaritan who organized the International Red Cross Society was merely carrying out the principles of the Society which.. William Penn founded in England in Cromwell's day. The Quaker Society in England has rendered invaluable assistance to the Red Cross. A camp was formed at which 60 orderlies were trained in first aid work, camp cooking, stretcher drill and nursing. This detachment later went to Dunkirk' to, help the Belgian wounded and refugees, and established a permanent hospital in that town and Ypres. The Dunkirk hospital can accommodate 200 patients. The Quaker unit today numbers over 300 members all of whom give their services gratis in addition to an outlay of $15,000 a month. They have established a motor ambulance convoy which carries wounded from the section of the firing line held by the French, and wounded nearest the sea. The Quaker unit also supply the stag for a hospital train, and a few months ago took over a Red Cros3 train at Abbeville. They have done a great deal as well in succouring the civil population in the rear of the firing line, and in relieving the distress of the Belgian refugees and of those frontier regions, in which they hvae temporarily settled. ' In. this work they are assisted by the Countess van ben, Steen do Je- hay and the Countess d'Ursel, and of the Belgian and French civil authorities. Their' agents, established in a number of centres in cthe districts around.\" YpreS and Dunkirk have gained a thorough knowledge' of ��������� the need and circumstances of the sorely tried inhabitants, to whom , relief is brought in many ways. Milk is being supplied .regularly to a very lage number of nursing mothers and babies, clothes , are being provided for the destitute, and medical treatment 'for the -sickV\"' ��������� -'.���������'' ��������� The unit had by. the.\"end of April inoculated over 25,000 \"civilians ar gainst enteric,1 and at the request of the military authority had provided a pure water supply for an area inhabited by 15,000 persons. Its emissaries have rescued a large number of children from, the fighting zone and have placed them in -orphanages near St. Omer, and it has -kept alive, by provision of the necessary matei'ial and instruction, the lace-making industry of the region, which the stress of war threatened to extinguish. It is now engaged in a search for typhoid carriers. In connection with this branch of the work the unit maintains two smaller civilian hospitals���������the. Hospital Elizabeth at Poperinghe, which has suffered bombardment more than once, and a hospital' barge, lying in a canal at \"Mille Brugge, which was presented and equipped and is being administered by Mde. O'Gorman, This barge cannot accommodate more than 28 patients, but for comfort, economy, and general convenience it would compare favorably with any land hospital of the same size. ter W.

As one, of the-Vancouver papers had before,made a startling statement with reference to those funds, which on inquiry at Ottawa, was proven incorrect; 1 thought it wise to make sure in this case, before calling my committee together to consider the Province statement. 1 therefore wrote to the Minister of Militia.and received the following reply yesterday. ��������� Minister's Office, Ottawa, Nov 3 0th Dear Sir, ���������' Permit me to acknowledge receipt pf your letter of the 13th inst, with reference .to machine guns.

The fact that Sir Rcliard in .. the face of such unrest maintained his government in power for twelve r years, then handing it over to a member of his cabinet, who has been successful in surrounding himself with a cabinet, mostly from the members having a seat in the house, shows that Sir Rcliard is the ablest politician that British Columbia has ever had the opportunity of giving political ��������� power. We are all sorry that he has seen fit to leave provincial politics, but all no matter the politics, will wish him success���������the same success���������in his new sphere. It is now up to1 Bowser, the present premier to hold together the contending political forces and give us just as good government, or better; we do not wish to return to the unsettled times cf Martin, Prior, Turner, Davio, ct al, again. Red Cross Maxims Recognise that every wounded man has a claim on your purse as well as on your sympathy. Do not grumble at the extent of Red Cross work. Be thankful that the casualties are few as they are. Co-operate harmoniously with fellow Ued Gross workers. It is unseemly to squabble at the bedside of the wounded and dying men. Contribute in labor if you cannot contribute in wealth. Give cheerfully, generously and above all immediately.

I came as a great surprise. I am pleased to tell you that I belong to tlie Cold Stream Guards, and am , very proud of my dear old regiment; , I belong to the 3rd Battalion. Went to Mons in August, retired from Mons, to within 24 miles of Paris. My.regiment- was fighting rear guard all the way. We marched about 240 miles in five days \"then we was not tired\". All -the time we knew the Allemandes1 were following very close . behind. .\\.J^ suppose ,. the. Allemand thought i'������ 'fine' fun' driving 'the eon: temptible little army' in front cf them The time came for us to change over, so we slept in a 'field of maize for' four hours, then we had hot tea and to our surprise we started back, the same way as we came! Then the fighting commenced, the Allemands shelled us,' but it was the \"4th Guard's Brigade\" and well they knew it, although they were as I believe nearlly 30, to 1.. We drove them back i-ntil; they came to the River Meuse; there made a stand. Oh dear! talk about shrapnel. I think I may say thousands of thsm; they got what for���������this is where the Allemands left their noble Prussian guards to cover their retirement. Then it was Guards against Guards So the whole Brigade fixed bayonets and we charged, and not one of the brave Kaiser's Guards would igive us fight. We capture^, six Maxims, 1 Battery of Artillery, small guns and a number of shells, and a van load of maxim belts and a large number of prisoners. I must say the Prussian Guards were the finest body of men ever I have seen.- They were all over six feet. We fought them back until we1 crossed the River Aisne near a village called Soupir. This is the same position the Allemands held, when they claimed the victory _a- gainst the French in 1870, so I was given to understand. We thought we were going to rest at this place, but no such luck, thick woods which seemed miles long, bullets fiying like hailstones, but we got to the coal at last. But we lost a large number of men. I lost seven of my section of twelve. Wo soon dug ourselves into the ground for the final time and that night we heard them coming 1000 yards away, but our orders were to wait until they were about 500 yards. It was pitch dark but we could toll1 by the way they were advancing, in close formation. Well, we gave them a very hearty welcome, a- bout 400 rifles and three maxim guns rapid fire; then they got within 100 yards of us, but it was no use them trying ti get through as all the time we had a few rounds left. But when it got dayli/ght���������what a sight! We stayed in this neighborhood for several days and then went back some miles and trained to Hazelbrook President, Chas. Hill-Tout Secretary, N.

SAVED THIRTEEN LIVES FROM DROWNING IN FHASKll About four o'clock on Wednesday morning Mr. Thomas Yeomans, of Ni- comen, heard the call of some Indians, in distress. On examination Mr. Yeomans saw that the cries came from the Fraser River. He took a boat and went out He found a number clinging to a boat. He took them to the bank of the.river in safety. When' he was finished he found he had saved thirteen Indians all told, from a watery grave. On investigating it was found that some twenty-one . Indians, men, women and children were returning to j their homes o3 Nicomen Island at the early hour in a gasoline launch, when they struck a snag, tearing the side out Seven were drowned,, one swam ashore and Mr. Yeomans saved thirteen. .- Three of the bodies havo been recovered. Mr. Yeomans is to be highly commended for his noble deed, which is full of courage and good management, and with certain risk to himself. The latter he probably thought | not of. The V.

MATSQUI COUNCIL MEETING. (Continued from rage One) endeavors to prevent the lamps being broken. notice that the Riverside wharf was being used by certain parties as a stable, and, asking that the municipal ity would undertake to look after this wharf at the municipal expense and see that it was used for the purpose for which it was built. To the request the council agreed and Wm. lSlliott of Riverside was empowered to take charge with full authority as to its proper use. From Glen Valley Land Co.-, stating that they had been disappointed in not receiving payments expected ami they were unable to send the $500 as agreed on, but hoped to make a substantial payment before the end of the year. The clerk was 'instructed to reply that the work had been done on the roads as agreed and that bills were presented for payment, and it was hoped that they would make every effort to meet their obligations to the council. From C. Gray, stating that he had! read in the paper that the council was petitioning the B. C. E. R. to move Rand station, and he thought it was time for hi mto pretest against any such action as he had given the Railway Company concessions and the Glen Valley Land Company special inducements to have this station where it s. The rumors of the moving of the station was doing him a great, deal of harm as was also the statement in the paper that the municipality could not build roads to the station. He had expended over $2,- 000 in surveys and in constructing roads and he thought it would be better for the municipality to make pass able the roads leading to the station and quit circulating damaging reports. The reeve stated that he\" had interviewed the authorities of the B C. E. R. company as to the possibility of securing a station at the Le- Fjeuvro road but had not Iodised any objection to Rand station. From C. B.
