FLYER WANTED TO
 BE SURE AND GET A FEW OF BOCHES

LONDON, July 15.-Maior James B. McCuden, recently killed in an aviation accident, was an extreme ly reticent boy who hardly looked his 23 years, but who, within a lit tie more than two years of flying, had won long string of decorations and had come within two victories of being the premier flyer of the British and Canadian forces He was in quest of these victories when killed.
 While with party of friends in London one night shortly before his death he lamented the fact that he soon was to be ordered to instruc- tion work and probably would not have another opportunity to better his record of 52 Hun machines. He confided to friends however that he planned to slip across the channel soon from a British aerodrome and attempt to down two more German machines before he settled down to the safe instruction work.

WILL ENTERTAIN
 WAR VETERANS AT
 ANNUAL CONVENTION

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 15. - Ar engagements rapidly are being com pleted for the entertainment of the veterans of the Civil War who will attend the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic for 1918 which will be held here August 19 to 25
 This will be the first time that a National Encampment has been held in the Northwest. Approximately $5,- 900 men who answered President LincOln's call to arms are expected to be present. They will come from every section of the country
 The attendance at a G. A. R. has never been below 50,0O0 in the past but the rapidly dwindling member ship roll each year makes it unlikely that there will be a greater attend. ance than 10000 Aside from this many old soldiers probably will find they are unable to attempt the long transcontinental trip from the Atlan- tic seaboard. At one time these an nual encampments were attended by approximately a quarter of a million of the veteran fighters
 The Grand Army of the Republic was organized at Decatur, H., in 1866. It's membership numbered 500 900 during the first few years of it's existance. The present average age of survivors is about 75 years.

Mining Recorder of South ern Yukon Has Not Been Seen Since
 August 1st.
SUICIDE IS FEAR E D
Was Reported to Be in a Despondent Condition of Mind Previous to
 Being Missed.

WHITEHORSE, Y. T., Aug. 12. - The Whitehorse Star says:
 Thursday night of last week, at Il o'clock, Terance F. Curran, mining recorder for Southern Yukon, was in the barroom of the Commercial Ho tel and from that time until now no trace of him as ever been seen or found, although the R. N. w. M. F. have diligently reached the shores and sandbars of the Yukon river be tween here and Lake Lebarge and combed the forests and underbrush in Whitehorse and vicinity in the most thorough manner
 The first intimation of the disap pearance was on Friday morning when Chas. H. Johnston of the Reg ina Hotel went to the room which MT. Curran had occupied for years and found that the bed had not been slept in Thursday night, although the watch and eyeglasses of MT. Cur ran were lying on the dresser, as though they had been left there while the occupant of the room in tended to be temporarily absent.
 For two weeks previous to the first above mentioned date, MT Cur ran had been in Respondent and highly nervous condition, and this in connection with his absence from the room. alarmed MT. Johnston to such an extent that he at once in stituted personal search of the town in the places in which MT Curran would likely to be found
 The theory of the police, which is in measure born out by corrob orative circumstances, is that the missing man, while temporarily out of his mind. jumped into the river and was drowned. A few of MT Curran's friends. however, believe he wandered away into the woods and being in very weak condition physically, perished.
 The search has been abandoned by the police as hopeless, but the White horse lodge of the Loyal Order o Moose, of which MT. Curran was z member, is offering a reward of $1O( for the information as to his where abouts, if living, or the recovery O. his body, if dead.
 The missing man was a very affa ble gentleman and in this community in which he has lived for. the pas ten or twelve years, had many warn friends. He was about 45 years O. age and born in Rexton. Kent County N B.. the birthplace of Postmastel Gen. Wilson. with whom he grew up to manhood and who is acquaint ed with all his relatives. His par ents are both dead, but he has two sisters, both of whom are married one living in Massachusetts, the oth CT in New Hampshire. His only oth CT relative. as far as known by Mir Wilson. is an uncle Terance Curran who lives in Victoria, B. c.

 Turkey is starving. Germany pinch ed and Austria rioting for food The Allies are well fed and, full of fight, thanks to Uncle Sam who in- vited them to sit down to his table a year ago-he has been passing around the victuals ever since.
 Naval officers and their families who buy at commissary stores have gone on the honor system of sugar purchases established by the Food Administration for civilians.
 Vessels sailing rom New York in June were cut more than 25 per cent in their sugar acquisitions, to conform to the Food Administration ration.
