FROM SUNSET COAST WI AT VIIE WESTERN PEOFL1 .: ARE DOIla1G. Progress of the Creat Weat Told in a Few Pointed Paragraphs. A number of black bears have been shot recently at Jordan River. The Trail Smelter is busy turning out a large quantity of .zinc spelter. A fine specimen of golden eagle was shot recently on Vancouver Island; Lack of rain has kept game from being as plentiful as usual around Ladysmith. Some of the cabbages grown on a ranch at Floodville, Fraser Valley, weighed 18 pounds. An "Alexander" apple grown in New Westminster had a circumfer- ence of fifteen inches, A plague of owls in Vancouver has resulted in numbers of chickens and game birds being killed. Four new post offices have been opened in B.C., at Garswold, Cornpx- Atlin, Vallican and Kootenay. A publicity. bureau for the Pacific Northwest has been established with temporary head office at Victoria. Samples assaying $373 per ton have recently been taken from the Drum Lurnmon Mines, Doaglas Chan- nel. Hope is the centre of at least three big mineral fields, the Coqui #' halla, Jones Lake and 23 -mile on the Skagit. No definite policy has yet been decided upon for the construction of the new G.P.R. tunnel under the city of Vancouver. Vancouver is to supply a steam jet, to cost $200, at the Capilano intake this winter to prevent the pipes freezing. The wonderful new telescope in the observatory at Little Saanich Moun- tain, Victoria, is • already attracting many visitors. Four hundred and thirty-three boxes of apples, comprising about 43 vara ieties, were shipped during a recent week from Duncan. A pig and $223 in money, given by residents of Sidney, helped to pro- vide a farewell entertainment for the 143 and 231st Battalions. The American tanker Col. E. L. Drake, arrived at Vancouver the other day with 38,000 barrels of oil for the G.T.P. and the sugar refinery. A very interesting collection of war relics has been displayed in Victoria recently. They were sent from the front by soldiers of that City. ` Nanaimo is indignant that a license should have been granted from New Westminster permitting certain Aus- trians to fish from Cowichan to above Nanoose. A very fine specimen of horned owl, measuring almost five feet from wing tip to wing tip, was , caught raiding some chicken coops at Quail - cum Beach. Last week 129 cars of logs were • brought from Cowichan Lake to, Chemainus for the V. L. & M. Co., and a large consignment was shipped to the prairies. CAPT. DUMAS OF FRANCE. Nation Delights to Consider Him Typical of French Spirit. Jean Dumas 'Was 66 when the war broke out, and the French Govern- m.ent would not let him fight, says the Cleveland. Plain Dealer, in telling -the story. of his death. He besieged the,recruiting offices till ho became -sore ew'l at of, a nuisance; and when • he= was convinced of the futility of further pleading he made a hasty pilgrimage into Belgium. In Belgium Dumas was received as a volunteer member of the Belgian army. Al- most immediately he was captured by the Germans. And almost immediately he made his escape. France could not now reject him, and he fought in the French army at the battle of the braille, where he received six wounds. He recovered in time to participate in the Dardanelles campaign, where he was not wounded. After the An- glo-French withdrawal from Turkey, Dumas went with his regiment to Sa- loniki. Severely wounded in a skirm- ish with the Bulgarians in the Vardar Valley, he was sent home to recover. At the beginning of the Verdun bat- tle Dumas was again facing the Ger- mans. Once more he was wounded, and the great battle proceeded with - Put the aid of this determined veteran. But once more he recovered, and was in the front ranks whenbattleof the the Somme began last July. Near Clery he was wounded for the ninth time, and he died nine days later. France delights to consider Dumas as typical of the French spirit and the French nation of to -day. . France, too, is persistent; and France has ' displayed a power of recuperation as amazing, as that of Dumas. But be- cause France is made up of many hien like Dumas France doubtless will live.

Dr. Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and Mrs. Walcott have just returned to Wash- ington after several months' field work in Canada. Accomplished by only a packer and cook, they spent most of the summer and early fall on the continental divide, which forms the boundary line between Alberta and British Columbia, south of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, studying the cambrian rocks, containing the fossil remains of the earliest animal life. Owing to the heavy snowfall of the previous winter, and the fact that most of the geological formations which they wished to examine were in the deep snow about the timber line, little progress was made in July, in August, however, sections were ex- amined and measured in the Mount Assiniboine region, and from there northwest to the celebrated Kicking Horse pass, where the Canadian Paci- fic Railway has bored a double loop through the mountain in order to ob- tain a feasible grade on the western side of the pass: Some years ago Dr. Walcott found a remarkable fossil fauna in boulders which had been carried into Kiteking Horse canyon by glaciers that have long since disappeared. This season he located the source of these boulders high up in the mountain cirque, where a portion of what must have been a !great hanging glacier is still active. Mrs. Walcott, formerly Miss Mary Vaux, of Philadelphia, who has studied glaciers for several years, and is well known as an Alpinist, visited Glacier, 'British Columbia, where she measured the position of two large glaciers, and determined that the front ice foot in each Case had retreated at the rate of 100 feet a year during the past two years. Steel plates were placed on the ice on the present surveyed boun- dary lines. The plates will be buried beneath the winter's snows, but, since their positions are relatively lowas to altitude, the snow will be melted off next summer, and their locations I then will indicate the amount of for- ward flow of ice during the year. Mrs. Walcott's studies prove that the , ice has been steadily retreating during , the past 'six years. Her measure- ments agree with observations :made in Alaska, and indicate that the Ornate is not as severe as on the Paci- fic side of the continent as it wag a decade ago, Luring the field work a large num- ber oI photographs were taken, in- cluding a dozen or more panoramic views, exposures being made -on • ion•' tiamou9 flims eight feet -in length.

FOR INDIGESTION A Physician's Advice "If dyspeptics, sufferers from gas, wind or flatulence, stomach acidity or sourness, gestric catarrh, heartburn, etc., would take a teaspoonful of pure bisura- ted magnesia in half a glass of hot water immediately after eating, they would soon forget they were ever afflicted with stomach trouble, and doctors would have to look elsewhere, for patients." In ex- planation of these words a, well known New Yorkphysician stated that most forms of stomach trouble are due to stomach acid ty and fermentation of the food contents of the stomach combined with an insufficient blood supply to the stomach. Hot water increases the blood supply and bisurated n]a.gnesia instantly neutralizes the excessive stomach acid and stops food fermentation, the com- bination of the two, therefore. being marvelously successful and decidedly preferable to the use of artificial diges- tents, stimulants or medicines for in- dige.,tion.

British preparation has secured a decided advantage over German pre- paredness, in putting into the air a ou ou e e number of aero- planes that the Germans can muster. The Germans have grossly misdirect- ed their energies in building the great cumbersome Zeppelins, which have so far been of no•military use whatever. The result is that now when a Ger- ! man aeroplane rises above the lines on the Somme for the purposes of ob- servation, something like a half -score of Allied aeroplanes immediately ap- pear for attack and pursuit. The German commanders are, therefore, Ieft as badly off for information as in the old days a commander was, whose cavalry could not keep the field against the enemy's.
