care not for you any more, hardly think of you;
 But sometimes different things I see Recall your once loved form to view! That kiddie In the garden there, Could scarcely look like you,
 Yet when he turns his back to me, His neck reminds me, dear, of youi A man l met the other night, Brushed his hair your way Another man a collar wore, Which made me think of you all fay! Yesterday I met a girl Who brought again your ghost She wore gown of yellow, The shade you like the most! In the library yesterday
 l came across a book
 You told me long ago to read, With me the tale took
 Then, at a vaudeville show
 saw clever team,
 We saw them once, together, (Just we two, l meanD
 Every time smell The perfume yiolette, Little thrills come over me Say-do you like it yet?
 l sing my little songs,
 And sad and absently-
 Each air is one you loved the best,
 I stop-lmpatiently!
 But unless there's something specia
 To make me think of you,
 You're never really in my mind
 Oh-I do not care for youi --Annabelle Mcdonnell

PARTS OF CANADA ARE OPPOSED
 CONSCR|PT|ON
(By United Press)

OTTAWA, Canada, Sept. 6. TNe French Canadian is the unsolved rid dle of the dominions To the British colonist the attitude of the French Canadian during the war has been in applicable. The mass of the French Canadians are opposed to conscrip- tion. So bitterly are they opposed to 1t that threats of armed and organ ized resistance have been freely made by street speakers in Montreal. The Nationalist element in French Canadian politics, led by Henri Bour. assa, the brilliant publicist and edi- | tor of Le Devoir, a Montreal daily, not only oppose conscription, but frankly advocate a policy of with drawal of Canada from continued ac- tive participation in the war as a | fighting force. They dream of a day when a French republic will arise on the shores of the St. Lawrence, within whose borders the civilization and ideals of the French Canadian may be logically developed
 The French-Canadian has had no active connection with France for over loo years. He points out that his as- sociation with the mother country then Is about as close as the connec- tion between New England and Great Britain. When France broke with the Vatican the republic shattered it's last live connection with the strongly Ca. tholic inhabitants of Quebec. Like. wise he has no blood relationship with Great Britain. The call of mother land, that brought thousands of boys with British blood in their veins throlling to the recruiting stands, left him cold
 He is primarily a Canadian of Que bee. Ills interests are first with his province. Living intensively he does not recognize or acknowledge the pro priety of any demand upon him for participation in the conflict.
 Canada" said Bourassa, has al ready made a military display in mer and money proportionately superior tc that of any nation engaged in ths war"
 An increase In our war expense will spell national bankruptcy anC threaten the economic life of the na ton and eventually its independence Conscription means strife and dis Iunion in Canada It will hurt the cause of the allies to greater exten than 1t will help. If the United States does as much as Canada has done 1T proportion to our wealth and popula tion, they will have to raise an army of 6OOO,OO0 men,"
 The French Canadian points out tha the British colonist is not enlistinf as a Canadian, but as a Britisher. The French Canadian regards himself al the only simon pure Canadian.
 "Conseription, declared Bourassa recently. may mean a second Mexico north of the 45th and 18th parallels.

UNABLE FINANCE M'K|NLEY LAKE
 PROPERTIES

Colonel B. F. Willard writes from Seattle, under date Of September 2, to the Valdez Prospector, as to his failure to finance the Mckinley lake property, owned by Cordovans. Among other things, he says:
 'T left Valdez about November last year, for the sole purpose of float ing the Mckinley lake property, and stated to some of the boys that would not return until I had ample money to put the property on its feet "I spent the first six months and $2,5O0 without results, and I want to say that 1t is impossible to success fully float low grade gold proposi- tion and very much doubt if any me dium or high grade properties have been successfully floated.
 Incidentally. while was east tried to consolidate the Galena bay and Nicolai properties into one com pany, and after fooling away a great deal of time and spending a lot of money, I finally received a wire to come to Chicago and they would pro bably consent to my proposition. therefore took Charles Slmenstead to Chicago with me, paying all expenses myself, and after several conferences 1t was agreed that I could organize a five million dollar corporation for the purpose of consolidating the above mentioned properties. Five of the trustees signed the proposition, and the others had wired they would agree to 1t, and I returned home fully pre- pared to carry out my end of the deal All the trustees and officers of the corporation were to be in Chicago and Wisconsin. All I was to do was to raise the money. On reaching home. however, I found telegram stating that complications had arisen and not to go ahead until further instructions. and the matter rests at that point at the present time.
 Being eager for the filthy lucre and not having much hope in consolidating the copper proierties, and fully realiz- ing that 1t is suicidal to mine gold at the present time, unless it Is very high grade, I turned my attention to silver. lead properties in British Columbia and made two trips over there to ex anime properties; I have practically closed deal for property which was mined in early days and several mil lion dollars worth of ore extracted 1t is we'll developed and equipped, and has been idle since 1904; out of one lot of 800 tons the smelter returns show that they netted S539000. and this at prices of 51c per ounce for sil yer and l 1-2c per pound for lead, and nothing for zine at that time.
 II am organizing a million dollar corporation, and will offer 250 900 shares at 25c per share. To the hold CTS of Granite Gold Mining stock, I am offering to take 35 per cent of the subscriptions for stock In the new company, allowing 50 per share for Granite stock.
 Understand, am not quitting Alas. ka, but inasmuch as 1t does not pay to mine gold and l have ben unable to consolidate the coppers, I am com. peiied to turn my attention to some thing else; next spring, as soon as the snow IS off. we will no doubt put in hydro-electric plant at the Granite mine; they have taken oil off the mar Ret so we could not run our steam plant if we wanted to, and at the price

Big CROP OF
VETCH IS CUT
Mr.. Sam Gwin Gets Eighteen Tons
from Ten Acres Planted Last
Fall--Big Yield.

Hon. Sam Gwin this morning COM
pleted cutting and baling ten acres
of vetch which he planted last Fall
on his place across the River with the
net result that he got approximately
eighteen tons of fine hay. The vetch
has been in bloom for the past month
and has attracted much attention from
passersby who noted the beauty of the
purple blossoms. Many wondered what
the plant was.
The results have been even above
the expectations of Mr.. Gwin and
demonstrate what can be done in Le-
fore County.
The crop was planted last Novem-
Der with oats but the cold weather
knocked out the oat crop, leaving the
yetch to grow alone.
Allowed to go to seed in the field
the vetch viii grow again next Fall
and will make equally 20 good a crop
to second year with practically no at
tention.
