The first aker was Mr. Lindsell, the :al Conservative secretary, who tertained the audience to a tal of the work done in the ;lley, such as the building of fads, bridges, etc., all of which Id be attributed to the activi- of the Conservative club, ch disappointment was felt Mr. Lindsell did not enter o the question of the useful- ss or the cost of these~works, ft these points were of course efully evaded. rlr. Manson opened his speech stating it was now 6 years ce he came before the public this district as a candidate, ,t he then was elected by a .^substantial majority. He stated also that in the later election he gjiad been returned; but forget to Jf|tate with.what majorities. e then went into a eulogy of financial policy adopted by Conservative government n it came into power in 1903 which is, in the opinion of y the best part of the history his party. It has, however, ....^ipn rehearsed so many times ifffitt it need not be dilated upon. '"^Because of this policy, the pre- flailing deficit was turned into a ^fiffplus, which increased year by '^|ye|ir until three years ago it :'������reached the huge sum of $8,000,- ���������-,*-?������00 on deposit at the banks at ";^0'ne time. Then the great ques- ,~^tion came, what to do with the ; ^/sjairplus. This problem was sett- ^ "Idea satisfactorily to some people '.-/atfleast. It was spent at such a ^;;5?apid rate that 1912 saw areduc- 'Jfcion of three million dollars, .the ������*f *\next six millions, and then the '* deluge. Now the government is 'Hard up same as everybody else and all on account of the Balkan /"War in the first place. This is the gospel according to Wm. Manson. The railway policy was /[then elucidated by telling first ,about the Liberal criticism of \the Canadian Pacific railway; and how mistaken, history has proven * the Liberals to have been. Then the Grand Trunk Pacific received J* Sjome attention from the speaker, and after that the statesmanlike railway policy of Hon. Sir Richard McBride was duly set forth. He forgot to mention that with the huge pledges given by the province in aid, so very little of the province is opened up for settlement by this road, because it parallels the C. P. R. from Kamloops' to salt water. Mr. Manson then told about different measures which had received the attention of the last session of the legislature. 1 At the conclusion of Mr. Man- son's address, the platform was spoke also of the conditions under which the men were forced to work on the construction of railways in the province. Dealing with the extravagance of the present administration he suggested that Mr. Manson had been remiss in his duties in not demanding a closer accounting. H. L. Harris, secretary of the local Liberal association on being granted the platform, dealt first with the subject of the amendment to the Election Act, which he charged made an unfair distinction between natural born British subjects and those of foreign birth. He pointed out that in the case of a naturalized subject who took the required oath in order to have his name placed on the voters' list,'he was, under the Bowser amendment, virtually considered guilty of perjury until he proved himself innocent by attaching his certificate of naturalization to his application. At this point a voice was heard, "why is my oath not as good as an Englishman's," and the answer came, "ask Bowser." Dealing with the Conservative platform the speaker invited Mr. Manson to> explain what effort had been made to carry it out, a task which the member carefully refrained from attempting. 'Mr. Manson was taken to task for his recent statement that he favored Woman's Suffrage, when as a matter of fact he had opposed it in the Legislsture, and also in regard to government ownership of public utilities. Mr. Manson was also asked to explain several items from the public accounts, but in thisalso he failed completely to satisfy the meeting, which showed its disapproval in no uncertain manner. The meeting was brought to a close at about midnight and was considered to have had excellent effect on the electorate from the Liberal standpoint. ing the ire of the meeting. At this point a disturbance arose resulting in a prominent Conservative being compelled to leave the meeting amidst a storm of jeers. After this the meeting was quickly brought to a close.

The same thing- occurred in Ailly Woods where we captured numerous prisoners. War Tax on Letters and Postcards Comes Into Force April 15 Bella Coola Meeting A veritable storm cloud burst upon the head of Wm. Manson on Tuesday evening. Mr. Man- son talked Dominion and civic matters, and attacked the Liberal party, the Liberal press generally, and the Bella Coola Courier and its editor particularly. Nothing could induce him to confine himself to provincial politics. Mr. Gibson, who followed, said that he had voted Conservative in the past but never, he said, could he again vote for any man to support the present aggregation at Victoria. Mr. Harris, spoke of the purchase of submarines, the government's avowed policy of reserving a portion of every coal area, and several other matters, and invited Mr. Manson to offer an explanation of his attitude in regard to them. Again Mr. Man- son deliberately evaded the points raised and only succeeded in rais- Ottawa, April 8.���������A war tax of one cent has been imposed on each letter and postcard mailed in Canada for delivery in Canada, the United States or Mexico, and on each letter mailed in Canada for delivery in the United Kingdom and British possessions generally, and wherever the two cent rate applies, to become effective on and from the 15th April, 1915. This War Tax is to be prepaid by the senders by means of a War Stamp for sale by Postmasters and other postage stamp vendors.

For some time past there has been a concerted attempt to show - that the Liberal party in British Columbia, is seriously disorganized, with a view no doubt, towards bringing about a condition in the party such as is desired by the .government. In the Conservative newspapers one reads daily the alleged doings of the Liberal leaders and all sorts of weird theories are brought forward as being the probable plans of the party. Mr. Wm. Manson in his recent speeches spent a great portion of his time'jn bullying the Liberal leaders, the party as a whole and the Liberal press, forgetting that it is not the Liberal party that is on trial today, but the so called Conservative government of Sir Richard McBride. They are before the country on their record and it is only fair they should discuss -their record, but this Mr. Manson refused to do. Liberalism, is on' the crest"of a wave that is fast sweeping the country, and no amount of claptrap nonsense from Mr. Manson, who is afraid to face the issue fairly,.or the Conservative press can alter this condition. Mr. Manson spoke of the Liberal machine. - If a band of earnest men who are fighting, and have for years fought, against odds for a great cause���������that of the freedom ;of the people���������can be called a machine, then there is a Liberal machine. But in the sense of a small and Select clique who are seeking to railroad their own candidates into power there is no such organization, and never will be. There is no campaign fund collected from the corporations and others who hope to do business with the government. When Liberal candidates travel they pay their fare, so does Wm. Manson, but only on the odd occasions when he cannot sneak a ride on some government launch. One fact is significant; not one so-called Independent Liberal has attempted to enter the field against the choice of the convention, yet there are on record a large number of Independent Conservatives. The Liberal party is not only an organization but an ideal. Its member are loyal Canadians, who put the interests of their country above any party. They earnestly believe in the mandate that the people shall rule. Throughout the province today the people are flocking to the Liberal standard, not necessarily because they are Liberals, but because they believe in the honesty and integrity of the men who have been chosen to represent the party at the polls, and also for the reason that they have become heartily disgusted with the extravagance, graft, and overbearing methods of the present administration. . This is true in Bella Coola Valley as else; vvhere, and no one has a better right to know it than Wm. Man- son, after his experience at his recent meetings here. v. o o o o o The Submarine Deal Before the' Public Accounts committee Auditor-General Eraser speaking of his efforts to get vouchers for the purchase of the two submarines at Seattle by Sir Richard McBride for $1,150,000 said: -"I was called on to pay $1,150, 000 without any evidence that the money had been 'expended and that proper delivery'of the' craft had been made. I tried in every way to get satisfactory vouchers or something to take their places. I was shown Premier McBride's cheque, drawn in favor of himself and endorsed in favor of Lieutenant PHcher, of.the Esquimalt dockyard, but that was not sufficient evidence. On September 24 I wrote to the manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Victoria asking for information in regard to the drafts. I got a reply .stating that he was taking the matter up with the provincial authorities. 1 thought I had a right to iKe ih: formation and I could not understand why the bank manager at Victoria, Mr. Crawford, could not answer without referring to the local authorities. I decided to go to British Columbia my self." The auditor-general then told of finally getting copies of three drafts which had been made out in payment for the submarines: One of them had been cashed in Seattle by J. B. Patterson, manager of the Seattle Construction and Drydock Company. The amount of this draft was $249,- 961. Two other drafts, one for $500,000 and one for .$399,437, had been sent to New York and paid over by Patterson to the Electric Boat Co., which firm were the original builders of the submarines for the Chilean government at a contract price of $900,000. "What \he Seattle draft of $249,961 was for remains to be."seen," said the auditor- general. What has come ov������r the Kaiser? He.is almost as silent these days as the great gunS of his invincible navy:" Even an invocation to Allah would be a relief, as indicating that his majesty still entertains a glimmer of hope that' all the enemies who are fighting against him without cause save-envy are on the point of being prostrated at his conquering'feet. For a man who made a special point of his determination to "have no truck or trade wjth the Yankees" Sir Richard; Mchride seems to find it necessary to make a good many trips to New York and other American centres of influence.

Wise or Otherwise? We are assured that the railway policy of the McBride government is a wise one and if left in the hands of capable men it can be carried to a "triumphant conclusion." This wise policy has pledged our credit on behalf of a bankrupt corporation in the principal sum of $38,000,000, with an annual interest charge of $2,053, - 875, while on account of the Pacific Great Eastern, which needs seven millions more, we stand pledged to pay $31,700,000 in principal and $1,426,950 in interest. Our total obligations in regard to these two companies are $80,332,000 in principal with an annual interest charge of $3,506,- 000, running for thirty-five years on an average.

It is so'wise that when it was inaugurated it caused a cabinet split, and now that it has reached a climax there has been another ministerial uprising. It is so wise that the Premier has gone to Ottawa seeking some way out of the mess into which he has dragged this province. The condition of the branch lines on Vancouver island is a monument to the wisdom shown by Sir Richard McBride when more than five years ago he proclaimed his policy to the people of the province. o o o o o War Graft. The lid is off at Ottawa. One Tory grafter has been shamed into turning back to the Dominion treasury $6,500 "excess profits" which he made out of a deal with the militia department in connection with war supplies. Another one has admitted that he was paid $1200 to exercise the influence he possessed with the minister of militia on behalf of another "contractor." Sir Robert Borden has not been able to restrain his voracious followers. The war graft investigation has already revealed the most scandalous state of affairs in the history of Canada. Even in the face of the crisis through which the Empire is passing, and Regardless of the physical well-being of Canada's young men who are fighting our battle at the front, the soulless, conscience-seared "contractors" exacted exhorbitant profits from their transactions with the government. Our brave soldiers were shod with rotten boots,; which one of them said he had only but to wiggle his toe in and the leather burst. But, as one of the contractors explained, the shoes were never intended to withstand the conditions in a damp climate. In other words, they were stock shoes made for city wear, and hundreds of them were burnt as useless, and probably in order to conceal their defects when a demand ai-ose for an investigation.

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. T^HE REASONS for this enviable condi- ���������*��������� tion of affairs are obvious to anyone who knows the Bella Coola Valley. The land is fertile and needs little or no irrigation. The climate is mild and enjoyable ; long warm summers with sufficient rainfall and mild winters make for excellent crops. Large and small fruits, garden and field crops are grown to the best advantage. This fact was established at the Prince -Rupert exhibition last year when farm produce from Bella Coola Valley carried away over twenty first prizes. |>ELLA COOLA and the surrounding country possesses wonderful wealth in timber, as yet almost entirely undeveloped, and perhaps at no other point on the Northern Coast is there the same opportunity for a remunerative investment as in a saw mill at Bella Coola.
