His health has been rather precarious for some time and it is hoped that a treatment at the springs will prove beneficial. ence some six years ago. A large saw mill, pulp mill, and a three hundred room hotel was built along with other buildings of all kinds to suit the needs of the undertaking. Financial difficulties overtook the concern,and it went into the hands of a receiver. After lying idle for three years reorganixation has taken place with the result that one of the 'largest pulp mills en the Pacific Coast will be in operation within the year. ' Ivan Estensen and William Gorden came in last week from Talleo on a launch. They have spent the winter at the cattle ranch situated at the head of South Bentink Arm. Mr. Esten- son has severed his connection with the ranch and intends shortly to make a trip to Minnesota. But the coast, despite his experience of its worst winter on record, has proved itself superior in a number of respects to decide Mr. Estenson to take up his residence here. William Gorden will remain in chafge of the operations usually performed in the kitchen at the ranch and also run the motor boat. As an outcomeof petition? sent to the Dominion Department of Marine and Fisheries, five additional independent fishing licenses have been granted for this district. This week has seen substantial improvements carried out at the Johnson saw7 mill. The amount of power has been doubled by the installation of an additional boiler and now we can boast of a saw mill with two smoke stacks. It is confidently expected that lumber will hereafter be turned out in an incessant flow. Andy Wood and Thomas Bernard was up from Ocean Falls, Tuesday, and informed us that things are humming about the big plant. A New Town. About two hundred men are now at work in connection with the big mills at Ocean Falls.

That 39 young men have gone forth from this valley to the war and that comparatively large amounts of money have been raised for various war purposes here, bear testimony to the fact that, our people take an active and patriotic interest in the issues raised by the gigantic conflict. And the attendance at this meeting is another proof in that direction. Dr. W. J. Quinlan was elected to fill the position of chairman of the meeting and Mr. I Fougner was elected secretary. Dr. Quinlan gave evidence of his wide experience as a presiding officer in the able manner in which he guided the proceedings. It was decided that the committee to be elected should consist of five members and that it should collect funds for both the Red Cross and Patriotic Societies. If the committee should find it necessary to add to its number it was by motion authorized to do so. There did not appear to be any strife as to who should have'the honor to serve their country upon this committee. According to the secretary's report the following officers were elected by acclamation: President, Mrs. E. C. Clayton; 1st vice-president, Dr. W. J. Quinlan; 2nd vice-presidert, F. Broughton; secretary, Dr. Mrs. E. M. Sutherland; treasurer, Mrs. I. Fougner.

The Outlook for British Columbia: , _, ~.Vlt\-.wa's indeed a'sad day-for ���������this province when- the-late Hon. . "Robt. G." Tatlow, minister- of finance,' resigned because he did not approve-of the government pjrej i guaranteeing the bonds of a rail- . way paralleling another. During ��������� ' the time -that he handled the finances there was always a.surplus at the end of the fiscal year. But ever since he took his departure, a different state "of-affairs has prevailed, the deficit's have been equally constant ever since, and now have reached a ��������� sum of over $23,000,000..' While the population*, according to .th������ '.. government's bwn'report has-de- creased one hundred'-thousand in- .the-last .three years, the debt keeps pilihgup'steadily until now it amounts to more than $70 for .. every man', woman and child in the province, including white, red, yellow, and every other color. The-estimatesforthe incoming . year were brought down last week and showed that the government thought it necessary to increase the expenditures for the year instead pf reducing them; it showed that the revenue is falling off and that, as a consequence, this province would run in p!ebt another $5,300,000 this year. This means that every day, counting the Sundays, we will spend nearly $15,000 Jmore than our income. On the top of this enormous deficit, which is larger than': the entire expenditures of any of the other provinces except Ontario and Quebec, there are railroad guarantees which must be paid this year, and of course the money to meet these, amounting to more than $600,000, must also be borrowed. It is also planned to borrow $1,- 000,000 to loan to the farmers. Taken altogether to cover the .deficits-of- this year and the one just ended will make it necessary for the government/to borrow, another $15,000,000. . s This state of affairs will eventually drive capital away from the province and ruin our industries, because the interest on the great debt, together with the running expenses, will make the expenditures of the province so large that the taxes to meet them will be too burdensome for manufacturers to bear and at the same time be able to compete with those, in this respect, more favorably situated in other provinces. The vice-president of the Canadian "Pacific Railway has paid a visit to the coast. He says there is such a scarcity of laborers in the Dominion that it will be necessary to invite labor from the United States, and he told how the C. P. R. is trying to meet the situation by reducing" its rates. Therejs no such scarcity, however, in our ably governed province. When the above statement was made, by the C. P. R. official, the first question asked him in Vancouver was if these reduced rates.��������� .would apply'.to those of British Columbia who "were in search of labor, and' he said yes. And this is tharichest province in Canada and the Em- Political Mudslingers: ; .The Conservatives- - when brouglit"to -bay, in being unable to reply, to the serious^ charges made against them, complain of their opponents having recourse to mudslinging. .When this aspect of the p'olictical situation firsjt impressed itself upon our mind was; at the time when .the, Roblin- government in-Manitoba, went down* into the darkness of disgrace/ 'The'Conservatives in that province out of revenge and without cause, made some accusa- tions against leading men jn,the Liberal party in order to annoy and if possible to make some of the mud stick. A commission to investigate the charges was set to work;.-but after a thorough search reported' that there was no foundation for the accusations made. Some time before the Manitoba trouble became acute, preparations were made by a leading Conservative in Dominion politics to discredit the Liberal government and legislature of Saskatchewan with the object of bringing about their defeat. There was' nothing in sight to start any scandal about so it be- came..necessary in order to accomplish their nefarious design to manufacture trouble. If there is any corruption to be brought about in politics it will usually be found that the liquor traffic can be depended to know how and also to be willing to accomplish it. So this Conservative in- the interest of his party told the liquor dealers there was a mint of money under his control for the purpose of corrupting the legislature and government of that province. ^At this time there was a prohibition measure before the legislature, and this was,seized upon by the liquor interests as the object of their assault. U'rTnie-.to,their nature they went to..work;- with ' their' weil filled purses.to bribe .the-government and members. That they failed in the attempt is1 proven -by the fact that th'eprohibition measure ^yas passed arid is now "the Jaw oltJie:province..'. -But the af ter- matV is'-'still" with us.- A commission composed of judges of the province is investigating the charges of corruption made by the opponents of the .Liberal government. .The.government has been ex^n^rated,,but some of thememB'ers'otthe legislature are still under fire. -It is safe to say, .however, that even if some, ���������members of the-,party should have proven too-weak to resist izing that such an attempt would recoil upon their own heads with a vengeance. Let there be no more mud- slinging, but honest efforts by patriotic members of all political parties to restore the prosperity of the province and use our means for the successful prose cution of the war. One of the results accomplished in the long term of office enjoyed by our government is a method they have invented and which they ought to get copyrighted in Order to collect a royalty from ��������� others who profit by their example, of being able to enrich themselves' arid .their faithful servants from the public treasury without running counter-to the law against graft.

The coast of British Columbia is broken; there are peculiar and &nd deep indentations in its outline. Also, from the Forty-ninth Parallel,to the Alaskan boundary, there is an almost continuous, wavering fringe of islands. Indeed, a glance on a small scale map between Vancouver Island and the mainland, sets the uninitiated wondering if there is water enough to float a row boat in. Some of these islands are just uncompromising, rocks covered with marine life, whilst others, though, infinitesimally small, havea trimming, as it were (after the manner of feathers in a lady's hat) of evergreen, stunted growthof cedar, spruce and pine; others, again, are of considerable extent and the home and hope of a sprinkling of hardy settlers. In and out of this island .fringe and between it and the mainland shore is a maze of salt water channels wherein the speed of the tidal currents is a thing to marvel at; where rips and eddies and overfalls make sport of the drifting flotsam. Many of the latter channelsor "narrows" is they are sometimes known, fairly bristle with reefs; yet many are navigable, and some are excellent waterways���������literal ocean lanes. But breaking into the bold coast itself is a succession of sounds and inlets���������inland seas having their own complement of islands large and small; so that, altogether, it is difficult, cursorily, to tell if one is on an island, an isthmus or a peninsula. These inlets were formed in the long ago glaciers; tremendous rivers of snow, allies of the stormy Pacific, cutting deep channels through the rock to aid the invading forces of the ocean; they ���������are surviving and imperishable 3vidences of an ancient epoch. And such waters, as I have explained, are common to the coast. Their depths are frequently enormous, for the high, inclosing mountains sometimes rise sheer from the tide lines, In winter they are wrapt in silence and snow ���������never, never places where the deer, the wolf, the panther ��������� 600 dealers and trappers of B.

Bella Coola farmers are independent-, they are strangers to hard times. '"THE REASONS for this enviable condi- * tion of affairs are obvious to anyone who knows the Bella Coola Valley. Theiand 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 faim. produce from Bella Coola Valley carried'.away over twenty first prizes.

Howbeit, the advent of summer witnesses a change and the activity of a great industry; the surface then is dotted with the small craft of the fishermen, and alive with myriads of leaping fish.
