ST. DUNSTAN'S HOSPITAL FOR
BLIND SOLDIERS,
Soldier Who Lost Sight at Gallipoli.
Tells of His Life in Various
I{ospit als.
"The only miserable people to be
found at St. Dunstan's are the visit-
ors who come for the first time to
pity and sympathize with those de-
prived of sight," said Sergt.-Major
Middlemiss, of the lst King's Own
Scottish Borderers, in addressing a
Toronto audience recently.
Sergt,-Major Middlemiss was blind-
ed at Gallipoli, when a Turkish hand
grenade exploded near him. After
graphically describing the brilliant,
but unsuccessful, landing at Cape
Helos, and the terrific fighting that
took place, with such a deplorable
loss of life, Sergt.-:Major Middlemiss
told of his experiences in hospitals
in Port Said, Cairo and England.
When discharged from these, after
many operations, he told what de-
spair possessed him, what a hell of
misery he went through when the
full realization came over him that
he would never be able to see again.
• As he had followed soldiering all his
• life, he. had no other profession or
craft that Would • enable him to earn
his living: He had served three years
in South Africa, four in Egypt and
the Soudan, and four in India, where
he was when war broke out.
'Work at St. Dunstan's.
However, Sir Arthur Pearson, suf-
fering himself from blindness, so in-
terested him in the training to be ob-
tained at St. Dunstan's that he went
in and took up the study of Braille,
learning to typewrite, read and write
Braille. He also took up massage and
qualified as a masseur, at which he
was working when induced by Sir Ar-
thur Pearson to proceed to America
• and, by lecturing, try to raise a fund
so that" all soldiers and sailors blind-
ed in the war, whether belonging to
Britain, Belgium, or France, would
have an opportunity to obtain similar
training to that given at St. Dun-
stan's. The great work being accom-

Development of Mineral -bearing Lands
in North Thompson Valley.
The following interesting letter has
been received by the Canadian North-
ern Railway Company at Toronto,
from Chu Chua, British Columbia, re-
garding the development of the min-
eral -bearing areas tributary to its
main line through the North Thomp-
son Valley: --
"There are about twenty claims
staked near here; the first car of gold
ore taken from the surface of the
Wind Pass Claim had a gross value
of $1,648.00, and there is another .car
load ready for shipment.
"As soon as the Spring opens up
so that we can build wagon roads,
there will be large shipments during
the coming summer. At present the
ore is being taken down the moun-
tain side by hand sleds. There is
about $50,000 worth of ore in sight on
these claims without very much
development work.
"At the head waters of Boulder and
Canyon Creeks, there are large
bodies of copper ore that carry gold
and silver values, and large deposits
of magnetite iron ore that carry some
gold values.

While there is no prospect of an im-

the prairies of the Canadian West

from the farmer has demonstrated i
to the rural residents in an emphatic
manner the value of good roads to

Of course, the farmer always has been
