JAPANESE DOY
 SEVERELY HURT

C. Wada the industrious little Japanese boy met with painful and somewhat serl- bus accident last Saturday. which might easily have resulted more seriously than it did As it is he is confined to his bed at the Regina hotel with two or three trac- tured ribs, and with hopes of being about again in few days.
 Late Saturday afternoon Nada's horse was seen coming to town riderless. He was saddled. and the rcins were tied to the pom mel of the saddle Jenkins, the road fore man. caught him and kept him tied up for an hour or so on the Flat lditarod road, thinking that he had escaped from his mas ter who would probably soon be along to take him in charge When he failed to ap- pear. Jenkins turned the horse loose and he proceeded toward town. Wada's partner, seeing the horse come home riderless, sur missed that an accident had overtaken his countryman. and immediately set out to look for him. He found him a mile or so from town, unconscious, and brought him to the city on the tram, which happened along about that time.
 It appears that Wada was expecting to meet someone from Flat, and while waiting had turned his horse loose to graze. After

 THERE IS GOOD PAY AT MARSHALL

out the necessary representation work being done upon them by a system of re-staking, It has been the custom to stake claim and hold it for the lawful period without working it, when another ''prospector' would stake it and hold it for a like period. In this way outsiders were kept out and the claims were undeveloped Of course these claims could be staked by bona fde pros pectors. but nobody wanted to take the ini- tiative As result large tracts of promls- ing ground are being withheld from develop ment by men awaiting 8 chance to sell to spectators.
 E. J. Davis, who arrived at Dikeman on Tuesday last on board the Washburn, was also one of the Marshall stampeders. He is impressed with the possibilities of the dis trict, but says not enough work has been done to tell what there really is. He says there are three claims on Willow creek which showed good pay, and that from a small dump on one of these Slo0 was cleaned up recently While he does not believe an extensive pay streak will be de, veloped on any of the creeks on which any work has been done so far, on account oi the formation exposed he does believe that the district back of Marshall City IS most promising one for the prospectCr.

NUMBER OF KILLED IN VAR
 TOLD IN STAGGERING FIGURES
Brooklyn Times ]

This is but one sidelight on the war to be gIeaned from Red Cross figures re- gently made public They give the total loss as 8,831 000 which, in addition to the dead alluded to, includes 3,7S1 900 slightly wounded and 1,l50,O00 prisoners. And it may be assumed that these figures are far below the facts for an official statement from Berlin, just obtained, places the number of prisoners in the hands of the Germans and Austrians alone at 1,6l00OO.
 However, for arguments sake, the Red Cross statistics may we'll be accepted. Their most remarkable feature conveys an ex- cellent reason for the ability of the Teutons to hold their own, for in killed and wounded and prisoners their losses are far smaller than those of the allies Germany's and Austria's dead number S23, ,000, while their enemies counted 1913, GOO lost lives-every ten Germans having killed fifteen of their enemies Now, if it IS considered that Aus trian losses of 341 GOO were incurred almost entirely on the Russian border, where the czar's forces sacrificed 733 900, and that Germany's contribution to the silent army of 4S2 ,000 was made both in Russia and France. while in the latter country and in l i'1' 5SO.OOO men in death, it follows that the military fury of the Germans seems to have a far more fatal effect, man against man and weapon against weapon, than assaults of the allied soldiers Even more amazing proportions are figured out in respect to the wounded and the prisoners Of the former victims 1,35S,000 are Germans and Aus trans and 4,37S,000 soldiers of the allies each German wounded being offset by three wounded soldiers of the allies And in pris oners the Germans and Austrians lost 416, 900 and their opponents l,348,000,
 These are staggering figures They ex- plain much. They tell the story of Ger many's confidence in ultimate success; of England's uneasy groping for means to make more of her young men obey the call to arms; of Frances despair as she views her future and of Russia's helplessness de spite her immense population.

LITTLE LARSON BOY
 HAS A MARROW ESCAPE

Little Charley Larson, the 3-year-old son
 of MT and Mrs Charles Larson, had a mar
 row escape from an untimely end on
 Wednesday last, but by great good luck,
 and the pucky work of his mother, he
 escaped with nothing worse than a ducklng.
 The little fellow, with his older brother,
 Harry. was playing near dangerous pool
 in the western part of the city, and n some
 unexplained manner fell in. He managed
 to keep his head above water and hung onto floating slab He made no outcry. nor did Harry. but Mrs Larson in some manner learned of the plight of her young hopeful
 and rushed to the rescue. By this time the struggles of the youngSter had carried hlm
 to the center of the pool. out of reach from the banks, and paSserS-by endeavored to i find plank with which to reach him. Mrs. | Larson however, somehow managed to grao hold of her sons foot, and hauled him out, giving him the first real SousIng he had sustained during the adventure. As soon as he had been hauled out the boy joined his brother in romp as though nothing at
 all unusual had happened, and the danger being over, Mrs. Larson promptly main tained the traditions of her sex by fainting away.
 The pool from which the boy was rescued is an extremely dangerous one, being sltu-
 ated close to the public road. It is of great l depth A year or so ago a valuable horse belonging to Paul La Plant was drowned
 in this same pool, and some time later a horse belonging to the Mutcher Bros, was dragged out of 1t just in time to save its life.

The little sidewheel steamer Marie F. Captain Finger, which left here several weeks ago with party of stampeders for the Marshall City diggings, returned last Tuesday Jack Cameron returned as pas senger of the Marie F., and it IS understood that he will soon return to the lower Yukon camp, where he has secured lay on q promising piece of ground.
 Captain Finger reports that the showlngs on the some of the properties are good, but the conditions around Marshall City are not calculated to encourage miners to flock there in any numbers. The party which lett here found that the latest strike was at creek known as Willow creek and undoubtedly there were good prospects, But the ground had all been staked, and very little work had been done-not enough to tell what the claims contained. MT. Finger sald that the country was promising, and that he and his companions crulsed around the streams in the vicinity of Marshall and prospected considerably.
 Parties returning from Marshall City are unanimous in condemning practice which is carried on there, and which tends to re tard development. It appears that most ot the mining" is done in the roadhouse at Marshall City. The claims are held with

terminus for governmental operations seven or eight months of the year, and that the balance of the year there will be but little business. I arrived at this conclusion be cause from the best information l could ob tain it will not be possible to maintain an allthe-year- around ocean service. ] ob tained the information from men who have spent fifteen to twenty-five years in Cook inlet, and whose interests are there
 "The amount of tonnage to be shipped from the port must necessarily depend on future development for at the present time there is absolutely none in sight save a possible 125,O00 tons of coal annually for naval use on the Pacific, and this amount is gradually being reduced each year by the replacement of coal by oil as q fuel. To my mind this condition will create serious problem for the operating engineer Of the government railway and that problem will be how to make the railway pay even oper- ating expenses when it is completed.'

AFTERMATH OF OIL BOOM
 PROSECUTION OF PROMOTERS
(TorontO Mail and Empirel

It was only year ago that Alberta was effervescinq in all the excitement of an oil boom Stock exchanges were hurredly formed, quotations were wont to jump over night like real wildcats and many persons who had got in early found themselves pos sesaed of considerable fortunes on paper. Some of them, on the hazardng of $50 in cash, obtained stock that had a market value of S5,0O0 or S10000. This is the way with all such booms. Everything scars along to the crest, and beyond that the drop is quick and complete. Alberta is now to have the aftermath of the boom which died at the coming of war
 The attorney general has appointed Judge Carpenter of the Calgary district court to be a commissioner to investigate the oil com panies. Judge Carpenter will receive all complaints of private individuals and others considering themselves unjustly treated in connection with exchange transactions of dealings with company officers Legal ad- vice will be given to tleeced shareholders, and report made to the attorney general ih respect of possible criminal prosecutions. The governments attitude in this attempt ing to rescue ill-fated spectators is praise worthy, but somewhat belated At the time of the boom there was no government at tempt at restricting the issue of charters to patent frauds, nor surveillance of company actions. Manitoba has had public utili ties commissioner, charged with the duty of enforcing "blue-sky" legislation, but the government let the oil boom overflow the channels of safety

BRYAN QUIT CABINET
 TO COMBAT THE JINGOES

SAN FRANCISCO, July At lunch con address yesterday William J. Bryan said that he resigned as secretary of state be cause of obvious efforts to drive the United States to war He said that he could read nothing in the newspapers but war, and that it was being talked everywhere, and he con cuded that it was time that someone should go before the people to counteract the grow ign militant spirit.
 MT Bryan resented the charge of his po- IiticaI enemies that he stands for peace at any price, saying:
 q have been greatly misrepre8ented, but I do not mind 1 am not visionary enough to believe that ! can prevent all wars. l believe in standing out strongly for peace but when every means of peaceful settle mcnt has been exhausted, fighting Is ineVI- table"
 Mr. Bryan explaining his resignation as secretary of state said:
 You probably know why l resigned as secretary of state. If l could have helped President Wilson one iota in his earnest de ire to maintain peace I would have gladly stayed in the cabinet. l would have eX- changed positions with anyone in the cabl- net l would have accepted the lowest of flee the President could have given me. But I listened and heard nothing in jingo news papers but war news. When l saw false standards set up could do nothing else but get out"
