Help Reaches General Velasco From Saltillo Washington, April 9.���������Federal reinforcements from Saltillo have reached Torreon, according to a telegram to the Mexican embassy here from the Mexican consul at El Paso. The message adds that there seemed to be little danger of the city being taken by Villa. The number of federal troops was not given. Still Fignting at Torreon. Juarez, April 9.���������Out of the maze of reports and counter reports' concerning the activity of General Francisco Villa at Torreon, the assumption was drawn that fighting continues. This was based on a telegram from Villa to General Carranza.

He said he would spend several days looking after plans for the mobilization of the New York wing of an army of 500,000 men which he intends to lead into the national capital some time this month. The main division of the army, he said, would leave Massilon, Ohio, on April 16 and be joined outside Washington by the eastern division. , . ��������� Prince Rupert Booms Population Now 6000 and Stated to Be Growing Rapidly ' Prince /Rupert, April 9. ��������� A census.of the city is now being] taken by the officials of the police department. The population is in the neighborhood of 6000 people, and in recent weeks has been growing rapidly. Houses are at a premium and the hotel accommodation taxed to capacity. Several apartment houses are about to be erected and in Section Eight, twelve residences are under construction. Averylive- ly year of building activity is assured. Weather conditions are superb. Indian Lands Commission Federalism Proposed For British Isles Meets With Approval on Both Sides in Britain Victoria, April 9.���������A Montreal lawyer, Mr. J. Carmichael, has been appointed to the Indian lands commission to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Hon. E. L. Wetmore, whose position as chairman is to be filledJ London, April 9 The proposal of Sir Edward Grey to the House of Commons of a federal system of government for the British Isles, as a solution of the difficulty, which he put forward in a conciliatory speech, has been received on both sides of the House with great sympathy, and it "is believed it will lead to a renewal of the negotiations between the two front benches for the arrangement of a suitable compromise. The large body of opinion, both inside and outside parliament, supports a settlement on the federal basis and a meeting of about fifty members of, the House, representing the two parties, was held to discuss such a settlement. by the promotion of Mr. N.

Strong Opposition to Projected All Red Line i Ottawa, April 9.���������Strong opposition to another transcontinental railway scheme has been voiced in the railway committee when the' bill to incorporate the All Red Line Railway Company came before it. The projected line is from Cape St. Charles, Labrador, to the Pacific Coast, north of the N. T. R. line. The incorporators are, Edward Holland of Prescott, F. H. Palmer and W. F. Stafford of Buffalo, and G.. F. Hope and G. A. White of Toronto. Order Extended Prohibiting Entrance of Artisans Ottawa, April 9.���������At a meeting of the Cabinet Council the order-in-council prohibiting the landing of all laborers on the Pacific Coast for a period of six months in view of the congestion in the labor market in British Columbia, and also with a view to stopping Oriental immigration, was renewed for another six months. There is no change in the term of the order. The S. S. Camosun made her usual weekly call at this port on Sunday, bringing a large number of passengers. y Mr. G. K. Burnett has returned to personally supervise survey work in this neighborhood. Mr. T. Murray, late representative of the well known firm of Mackay Smith, Blair & Co., of Vancouver, is in town. Mr. Murray is now a free lance. As a manufacturers agent he can supply anything from a needle to an anchor. Having already acquired the habit of making good, there is little doub.t as to his success in his new enterprise. E. Gordon and C. Skjepstad have returned after a short visit to the State of Washington, where they have arranged to take up land. They have no intention of deserting Bella Coola valley, being too well aware of the prospects of early development. F. Sagar arrived in town by the last steamer. Mr. Sagar is engaged in surveying the extensive holdings of Messrs. Field Brothers, the well known timber firm of Victoria. Martin Nygaard arrived by the Camosun last Sunday from the Manitou cannery, Kimsquit, for a visit of a couple of weeks. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Macfarlane Sportsman's Mysterious Disappearance A sad calamity has casta gloom over Bella Coola Valley. On Wednesday night word reached the town that Colonel Robert F. Lindsell, C. B., had disappeared, and in spite of a thorough search of the vicinity by the neighboring settlers no trace of him could be found. It appears that Col. Lindsell, who was an ardent sportsman, had taken his rod and line and gone to the river to. enjoy the excellent trout fishing which these waters provide. When he failed to appear at the home of Mr. S. Le C. Grant, where he was making his temporary residence, at his accustomed time, some anxiety arose as to his whereabouts, which rapidly increased when it was found that he was not to be located at the homes of any of the neighbors, where it was hoped he had gone to pay a friendly visit. On word of his disappearance reaching town, constableBrough- ton left for the spot and continued the search but without avail. Returning to town, he engaged Indians with canoes and all day Thursday the search was continued. It is stated that the Colonel can be traced to the river, where it seems likely that he waded out to a large flat rock on which he took up his position in order to Lindsell, and by his genial manner had won many friends who will deeply regret his sad death. Much sympathy is being expressed with Mr. and Mrs. G. Lindsell and son in their sad bereavement. W. H. Mackay and Karl W. Brink, of Hagensborg, visited town on Thursday last. Minstrels Visit Hagensborg On Tuesday last the Bella Coola Minstrels visited Hagensborg and repeated the performance of the previous week. The various solos and choruses were excellently rendered, to the obvious enjoyment of a large audience, who were most appreciative, every item being applauded and encored. The Troupe on this occasion was augmented by the inclusion of Mr. G. S. Lindsell, whose banjo turns rounded out the program to great effect. The choruses were well received, the "coons" giving tongue like hounds on a hot scent. Where every member of the company did so well it would be invidious to mention individual turns, but particular thanks are due to Mr. E. R. A. Russell, the m u s ic'a 1 director, to whose patience and untiring efforts most of the success is due. The proceeds of this latter concert are divided between two very worthy objects, the clearing of the hospital grounds and the building of a public hall. Mr. Chas. Draney called here on Monday last en route to Kimsquit. He took with him Gus. Pearson, who is to be net- man at the Kimsquit cannery during the coming season. The work of clearing and leveling the hospital grounds is pro- ceding apace, and the grounds already present a very altered appearance. The men responsible for the work of protecting the town from a re-occurrence of the flood which caused so much damage last fall, are to be congratulated on the substantial nature of their work. Anything but cribbing of the most substantial nature would have been a mere waste of money, and it is gratifying to know that this work is in capable hands. Arrangements for annual Em-, pire Day celebrations have already been commenced by the Development League, and there is every prospect that the proceedings this year will outclass anything of the nature in the history of the valley. The celebration will take place on Saturday, May 23rd, and every effort will be made to attract a large number of people from the neighboring ports. The Union Steamship Company have been requested to have their steamer arrive in the early morning of that day and remain until late at night, which' will give passengers an opportunity of spending a full day in the valley. ���������.. - - ���������������������������������������������"'���������' The annual meeting of the Development League will be held at the Mackenzie School on Saturday, 18th inst., at 7:30 o'clock. A full attendance is requested: Messrs. W. and H. Sutherland and L. Calnan left on Wednesday last for Bachelor Bay. Mr. and Mrs. W.

Colonel Lindsell. who had for some years retired from the British army, had spent several months visiting his son, Mr. G. Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Saugstad and daughter arrived from Kimsquit on Wednesday last, by the power-launch Kimsquit. S. S. Celtic called at this port on Monday last with a large consignment of tin and gasoline. Alf. Saugstad, late resident of Hagensborg, who is first mate of the Celtic, took the opportunity of visiting his relatives and friends in the valley. Rumor has it that the local minstrel troupe were supplied with shoe-blacking instead of the regulation burnt-cork on the occasion of their recent performance at Hagensborg. At any- rate some of the "coons" looked suspiciously dark for several days after. The Clayton Bridge The new Clayton bridge oyer the Bella Coola River is being rushed along, and under the able supervision of R. O. N. Ellison, the public will soon be able to cross over to the Clayton side of the river without running the risk of taking an involuntary bath from an upturned canoe. ' The big 154 foot span on the north side of the river is now in [place and solid on its piers, and before the end of the month it is hoped that the smaller 130 foot span will also be placed and the bridge practically completed. On Sunday next a special Easter service of song will be held in the Indian mission church at 2:30 p. m. All are cordially invited. Our old friend Alf. Blakemore has the honor of securing the first bear of the season. To see is to secure with Alf. Spotting his game on the wild hillside by the aid of his trusty telescope, he seized his rifle and took to the trail, with the result that two excellent yearling bear pelts now grace his wigwam. Mama bear was too wise for Alf even, and lives to fight another day. STOP REWARD Will be paid by the undersigned for the recovery of the body of Colonel R. F. Lindsell. G. LINDSELL, Hagensborg, B. C.

While the Courier has, on occasions, been sharp to criticise the wasteful expenditure on public works throughout' the valley, we are always prepared to give credit where credit is due. . In the cribbing oh the Nec- leetsconnay River, we have a piece of work which is a credit to the'foreman concerned and to the public ,works, department. In foreman Ellison we have a man who has already amply demonstrated the fact that he understands his work from a to z. . Foreman McGloskey who has charge of the gang employed on the crib-work is a man of experience as his work shows.

We will deal with this later at more length. . - ', Mr. Bowser, says as far as the law is concerned British Columbia is' fairly bristling with constitutional problems: The 'Attorney-General would have been nearer the truth if he had put it another way. He might have said he had created many bristling constitutional problems and impaled himself on every one of them. The Victoria Times draws attention to what it describes as the miraculous feat of a man who staked an area of 40,000 acres of land on one, day and another 45,000 acres on the next day, although the two areas were seventy-five miles apart.
