Lutz, superintendent of the Puget Sound & Michigan Lumber Co., has reached this city from Powell River, where Mr. Lutz is now in the hospital making steps towards recovery. It is stated that Mr. Lutz had recently been suffering ' from overwork and despondency, consequent on the liquidation of the Pudget Sound & Michigan LumberCo.,andon Sunday after- noorirshot himself with a 30-40 rifle, .which was in the house. One of the bullets tore a wound in his left side, and the other punctured his left breast above > the heart. Mr. Lutz is one of the best '--known and most respected men in'the Powell River district, and has been connected with the lumber business on the coast for many years. Mexican Newspapers Admit Torreon's Fall Mexico City, April 16.���������The first admission that General Villa and the rebel army have occupied Torreon is made by the Mexican Herald. The newspaper states that General Aureliano Blanquet declares that General Jose Velasco the federal commander, has not evacuated the city "in the full sense of the word." The minister of war says the federal commander has made a strategic move which is expected to give the best results on the arrival of the federal columns now on their way to Torreon. According to General Blanquet, a position has been established by General Velasco at Cerro De La Crux, from which place he dominates Torreon with his artillery. The newspapers printed in Spanish do not make any mention of the capture of Torreon. Moors Torture Aviators Before Killing Them Rabat, Morocco. April 16.��������� Captain Herve, a French military aviator and a lieutenant he was carryingas a passenger have been hacked to death by insurgent Moors, after they had escaped uninjured from an aeroplane accident in the desert. The officers ware engaged in a reconnoitering flight near Denour when their motor became disabled. The captain piloted the machine in a gliding flight to earth. Both alighted safely and were endeavoring to repair the defective motor when a band of Moors surrounded them and after torturing them cut them up with swords and spears. The Moors also destroyed the aeroplane. From Chicago to Prince Rupert PrinceRupert, April 16.���������With the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific branch now under construction from Regina to Northgate, a port of entry on the international boundary, it will be possible for passengers to board a train at Chicago and proceed without interruption to Prince Rupert, according to Mr. T. B. Marston, a railway contractor, both freight and passengers will be shipped by this new route to the Pacific. "By the completion of their branch to Northgate," Mr. Marston says, "the Grand Trunk Railway will be given entry to St. Paul over the Great Northern tracks and will proceed toChica- go over the Chicago, Burlington &"Quincy lines. By the aid of the Burlington, the G. T. P. will have a direct route from the Pacific to Chicago. "I understand that no inconsiderable portion of the Canadian line's traffic will be drawn from the middle states through Chicago and Sc. Paul over the Burlington and the Great Northern Railway tracks." Jottings of Bella Coola and District 'White WolfY Brigands Loot and Massacre Pekin, April 16.���������Brigands under the notorious "White Wolf" killed hundreds of inhabitants of the towns of Huh Sien, Chow Chih and Meih Sein, in the vicinity of Sian Fu, capital of Shen Si province. They looted the three towns after capturing them and are sweeping the entire country round about. All foreigners residing at out stations have been ordered to Sian Fu, where a column of 1500 regular troops has arrived. Further reinforcements have been sent. $10,000 to Relief Fund Ottawa, April 16. ���������"������Pr"etnier Borden announced that the government proposes to give $10,000 to the relief fund for the families of the Newfoundland fishermen who perished in the recent disaster at sea. The S. S. Camosun, Union S. S. Co., arrived at this port on Sunday afternoon with an unusually large consignment of miscellaneous freight both for the ,'cannery and the local merchants. Mr. J. B. Saint of Stevestqn, well known as the genial and capable manager of: the local cannery, arrived on Sunday accompanied by Mrs. Saint who will spend the summer here with her husband". Mrs. R. O. N. Ellison camejby the last steamer to join her husband who is in charge of the construction of the new Bella Cool a River bridge. Mrs. Ellison is accompanied by two children. Mrs. C. Brown and two children arrived from Vancouver on Sunday. Mrs. Brown comes to join her husband who is teacher in charge of Mackenzie School. Mr. and Mrs. Brown and family are registered at the Grand View Hotel. Mr. Robert Knight, representing the well known firm of McLennan, McFeely & Co., of Vancouver, is in town on business with the local merchants. Mr. N. Mackenzie was among the arrivals by the last steamer from the south. Mr. Thomas West arrived back in town on Sunday after spending the winter at Rivers Inlet, where he was employed at the Dominion Government Hatchery. Mr. West reports that the season's work at the Hatchery has been in every way a success. Over twelve and a half million sockeye salmon eggs were gathered of which about twelve and a quarter million were successfully hatched. Over two millions have developed into fry and have been released into ponds, from whence they eventually find their way into the lake. The last of the fish should be released about the end of May. The fish are an exceptionally fine looking lot and should develop into strong healthy salmon. The various canneries on;the Inlet are busily preparing foAthe coming season. y The Victoria sawmill is running- full time and things look very promising at the Inlet. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Draney of Namu and Kimsquit, called here on Sunday en route to the latter place. Indian Constable Chas. Tucker and Herbert Sutherland left for Vancouver on Sunday in order to bring to this port a new powerboat which has been built by the Indian Department of the Dominion Government for the use of .the agent and the constable at this place. "Herbert Sutherland is appointed engineer and will bring her up under her own power. A full description of the craft will appear-in these columns on her arrival in port. Mr. T. Murray left on the last outward bound steamer after a pleasant and profitable week in our town. HAVE YOU GOT YOUR NATURALIZATION CERTIFICATE? YOU WILL UNDOUBTEDLY NEED IT, PERHAPS SOONER THAN YOU EXPECT. IF YOU CANNOT FIND IT, GET A COPY AT ONCE. DON'T LET BOWSER BEAT YOU OUT OF YOUR VOTE. Local farmers are busily engaged in clearing land and preparing for the coming season's crops.' Several tons of potatoes were shipped by last Sunday's steamer, and more will be ready for the next boat. Most of these are consigned to Prince Rupert, but the neighboring canneries are also patronizing our local farmers. The anxiously awaited run of Oolichans is slow in arriving, and it seems probable that this delicate fish will this year give Bella Coola the go-bye.- Body of Colonel Lindsell Not Yet Found In spite of the most exhaustive search of the Bella Coola River and the lands adjoining, the body of Colonel Robert F. Lindsell who disappeared so mysteriously on Wednesday of last week, and who, it is assumed, met with his OO REWARD Will be paid by the undersigned for the recovery of the body of Colonel R. F. Lindsell. G. LINDSELL, Hagensborg, B. C. death by drowning while engaged in his favorite pastime of fishing, had not been recovered up to the time of going to press. The assumption that he is drowned is greatly strengthened by the recovery of his fishing rod, which was found by an Indian caught in his salmon net some distance down the river, close to the long bridge. Numbers of settlers and many Indians have been continually searching the river. The deep pools have been dragged and all log jams carefully inspected. In some instances log jams were dynamited in the hope of finding the body, but so far all efforts have been unavailing. An enjoyable dance took place at the Grand View Hotel on Wednesday evening, a large number of people accepting the invitation of Mr. Frank Hagan. Dancing was continued until two o'clock, with a short interval during which refreshments were served. During the evening, Mr. C. Brown, acting for the company, presented a purse of money to Mr. Percy Gadsden, in recognition of his untiring assistance as violinist. In a few well-chosen 7������-ords, Mr. Brown told how deeply indebted were the people of the town to Mr. Gadsden who never failed to be present at any of the dances. Mr. Gadsden who was completely taken by surprise suitably responded. The people of the valley are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Mr. Wm. Manson, M. P. P., when they will probably be able to find out what is to be done this summer in the way of public works. At present there appears to be no information to hand as to how much money is to be spent in the valley. We understand that Mr. Man- son is to be invited to take a trip to the upper end of the valley in order that he may see conditions for .himself. Whether he will avail himself of this opportunity remains to be seen. The Courier suggested that he should take this trip last fall, before the government "went broke," so that he could put forward our claims in an intelligent manner, but he did not go. We are sure that the boys will go easy over the rock-slides if they take him along. They will undoubtedly recollect that he is not used to roughing it as they are, and will consequently have sympathy for him, as he. has always had for them. Probably a trifle more. Fishery-officer Randolph Saugstad is in town busily engaged in getting the Dominion government power-launch Merlin ready for the water. T. P. Saugstad, recently returned from Kimsquit, has been appointed engineer at the Bella Coola cannery. Mr. Wm. Graham of the Crossing paid a brief visit to town on Thursday last. Robert Lees of Atnarko arrived in town on Thursday. He will spend the summer at Rivers Inlet in the capacity of Dominion government fishing-officer. Rev. T. C. Colwell is out of town this week end. He is visiting Firvale and the Crossing and will return to town about midweek. A special Easter service was held at the Mackenzie School last Sunday evening, the Rev. T. C. Colwell preaching a most interesting and instructive sermon to an unusually large congregation. The singing was most hearty, the choir rendering an anthem in a very pleasing manner. Many people from the town attended the Easter song service at the Indian mission church. Rev. W. H. Gibson was the preacher, and Rev. T. C. Colwell officiated at the baptizing of a child. The local Indians are well known as a musical people and the singing on this occasion came as a surprise to many who had not previously attended the mission church on a like occasion, j The songs and Bible readings by I the children was very creditable! indeed and reflects great credit; on the Rev. and the Misses Gib- j son who are responsible for their! tuition. A PRETTY WEDDING! Avery pretty home wedding took place on Tuesday last at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.' B. F. Jacobsen at 3 p. m.,.when Miss Muriel Fonceca, daughter of the late Dr. Richard John Taylor % Fonceca and Caroline Fonceca of Brentwood, England, and Donald Creighton Balfour, sen of the late Dr. Donald Creighton Balfour and Edith Balfour of Elgin, Scotland, were joined in bonds of holy matrimony. The Rev. H. Sageng, pastor of the Augsborg Church, Hagensborg, officiated at the ceremony, the ritual used being the one in vogue in the Norwegian Lutheran Church. Numbered among the guest's invited were many of the old- time settlers residing in the vicinity. Those attending from the town included, Mr. and Mrs. I. Fougner, Mr. and Mrs. B. Brynildsen, Mrs. A. C. Christenson, Misses Addie and Mildred Gibson, and 'Miss A. M. Beatty of Vancouver. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the tasteful arrangement of flowers and evergreens presenting a charming effect. The bride wore a very becom-. ing gown of embroidered mull with orange blossoms, and was attended by Miss Winnif red Peck- nold as bridesmaid. Mr. Chas. Way, of Vancouver, supported the bridegroom as best-man. A daintily served wedding breakfast was served after the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Balfour will reside in the valley for the present. The Courier offers its hearty congratulations and extends its best wishes to the newly wedded couple. j QIltttrrl|_Ntittrr \ Sunday School - 2 : 00 p. m. GosfKL Skkvick by Mr. E.

SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1914. f .w * Impresses and JMonuments. \ "'--..Attorney/ - General B q w s ,e r speaking tb-a meeting of Conser-' ' .vatives of jVard Four; in Vancouver said, "that If the day ever . came "'when :'t}ie Conservative party Twould be.called^upon to retire from public'life in British "Columbfa,'-they would "have the satisfaction of knowing that they \had left. their impress oh the public life',of the province, and . the monuments of their admiriis- , tration would remain for all time to come." '. > . The, marked decadence in the agricultural industry and the. ���������rapidly-increasing importation of ' foodstuffs that .should be. raised7 here, is "one of the impresses which,the! government has left ' upon the life of the province. /- The enormous bond guarantees to which the province has been committed.,-by the .Bowser-Mc- Bride government; the loan of $10,600,000 to take the place of the" surplus which was boastfully proclaimed to be laying in the bank; the nearly six million acres of the most accessible lands in . 'the province held by speculators, to the exclusion of the bona- fide settlers, are a few' more-of the impresses which the'gov'ern- ment can truthfully claim to have' left qn the life of the province. ' On the subject of monuments we do not care to dwell, but just to show we agree with the-At- .torney-General we just mention an'increase in the public debt of $10,000,000 up to date, with more to follow;.an interest liability on ��������� account of railway guarantees, equal to one-fourth of our annual revenue. These monuments we Bincerely hope may not "remain for all time to come." Then finally there will be a monument in London in the person of Sir Richard himself comfortably enthroned as Canadian high commissioner. o . o o o o Of course there are hundreds of lesser monuments ehe province over, such as roads which start nowhere and go nowhere, bridges which nobody wanted and rarely ever use,*/but of these we will not speaki/ ,o o. ' o o o ' The New Hazelton Bank Robbery. The desperadoes who held up the Union Bank of Canada at New Hazelton last -.veek, met with a warm reception at the hands of the citizens, who evidently decided to take no chances on them being captured by the provincial police. The result of their prompt action vyas that two of the bandits were killed and three wounded. How will the Attorney-General like this impertinent interference with the work of his department. Mayhap he will institute enquiries that may lead to tho arrest of some of these citizens for carrying firearms without a license. It is safe to say, however, that only for the prompt action of the people of the.town six thugs would now be eligible for membership in that rapidly growing Association of Escaped Desperadoes. As a coi)temporary points out, the capture of a criminal by the provincial' police has become the conspicuous exception to an established rule. It is a notorious, fact that along the Skeena the ���������settlers realize that if law and order are to'be enforced they themselves are to do the work which properly belongs.to the department of which Mr. Bowser is the head. - ��������� It is abundantly clear that the provincial police system as it is- at present organized is'not capable of dealing with crime in the outlying districts. We do not wish to cast any re- flection on' the members pf^ the force, or to say that they do" not endeavor to do their duty, but we do say that ��������� they ' are not equipped, trained, disciplined or organized as they'ought to be. ' V������e believe that what-,is- required is a well equipped mounted force with a distinctive uniform, such as the Royal Northwest Mounted Police., Such a force 'would make such outrages as that at New Hazelton a rare if not actually impossible occurrence. ' .' Richard on his success in obtaining this coveted office. It has long been known that Sir Richard was anxious to get away ��������� from British Columbia politics and breathe a freer air. There is just one thing that may crop up in the minds of some people: that it is strange that Sir Richard; endowed with the knightly dignity of the noble order to .which he belongs, should, not feel it is duty to stay here, on his native heath, and face the maturing conditions so largely of his own creation. , Undoubtedly there will be those who will say that recognizing that the jig is up he is seeking a safe asylum while there is yet time. Sir Richard and the High ' Commissionership. 'The general supposition is that Mr. Borden has offered Sir Richard the high commissionership.. It is hard to imagine Mr. Borden making up his mind so quickly. Nevertheless we sincerely hope the report is true, in which case we heartily congratulate Sir Many people have wondered why Dr. McGuire, of Vancouver, "flopped" after, his show of independence in connection with the further guarantee of bonds of the Canadian* Northern Railway at. the last session of the legislature. . Parkei\ Williams, M. P. P., speaking at South Vancouver said, "Do'you know why? McGuire had a desire to be superannuated as< senator at. Ottawa. He had sort of been promised the job. When he/began to show independence, they held it over his head that he might not get this job if-he did hot fall into line." ' o o o o o The Victoria Colonist recently had a leading article qn the highly important and enthralling theme of gum-chewing. At first we very nearly made the mistake of reading the title of the interesting essay as "gum-shoeing," thinking that it might deal with the methods of one Wm. Manson, M. P. P., who.is. widely known' as an accomplished political gumshoe artist. ������ o o o ������ ������ John Oliver opened his address at Prince Rupert by inviting W. Manson, M. P. P., to come forward as he had something to say to him. Needless to say Wobbly William was not on deck. There appears to be some difference of opinion among the settlers of Chicken Lake regarding where a certain road should be started from. Mr. Manson addressing a public meeting at that place suggested that a vote be taken on the question. Acting on his suggestion a^vote was taken and the matter is apparently settled. Mr.. Manspn at Hagensborg last fall, refused.to allow a vote to be taken on a similar matter. Bella Coola Valley is an older settlement than Chicken Lake, and the settlers have probably a better knowledge of local conditions'and requirements. The reason of, this discrimination is that while Mr. Manson may still have hopes 'of some votes, at Chicken Lake, he can clearly sec his finish -in Bella Coola Valley. i - * o o o o o Fancy, Sir Richard addressing an Eastern audience on the conservation of the forest wealth of this province. All that Sir Richard has ever done towards conserving our forests he did in his early youth. He useel to shoot wood-peckers, j o o o o o Chinese Servants. The almost unprecedentedly atrocious murder of his mistress by a Chinese servant'should serve to set many people thinking deeply. Those who follow the custom of employing Chinese boys as household' servants/ usually at low wages on account of his being allowed to attend, school, must accept this awful tragedy as a warning. The demoralizing'effect these Orientals must have on the white boys and" girls with whom they are brought into contact cannot well be overestimated. A search of the criminal records of any of our coast cities will show that the Chinese are given to crime, often of the most unspeakable character. * A Chinaman is absolutely devoid of sex morality, and the extent of his depravity is limited only by his opportunities. It seems somewhat anomalous that with the constantly increasing influx of capable white girls .there should'be room for Oriental servants in this country. The Oriental standard of morals, character-, and all else that pertains to a white citizenship are unalterably opposed to our own' and no mingling of the races, especially among children, should be any longer tolerated in this province.

The.gradual, way in which the government organs are leading up to the swallowing of the proposition is illun:;rative and significant. At first there was much talk of obstinate demands by the government-for full information as to C. N. R. finances and for a large measure of security by way of personal endorsation from Sir William Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann. Now.the talk is all of satisfactory information having been furnished and of the excellence of the road. It. is tacitly admitted in the government press that everything is now pretty well "arranged." Govern mentaudi- tors have spent a few days in the head office of the C. N. R. at Toronto and according to inspired report have come back with a brief that justifies the proposed bond guarantee. It took Messrs. Gutelius and Lynch-Staunton two years to 'investigate' the National Transcontinental, but when a report is wanted on the whole G.'N.

The public, however, are now a little too wise and too suspicious to be fooled, by all this obvious stage-play and ostentatious appearance of driving a hard bar gain with the railway knights.
