Why Not Discard the Prohibition Vote? ; The counting of the soldiers vote, on Prohibition is illuming the mind of not only Prohibitionists, but the people of the province as" to how thing? are manipulated so that the will of the people can be delayed as long as possible.. The taxpayers of British Columbia are paying a princely salary to Sir Richard McBride to look after their interests in England, and it is only reasonable to expect that he. would do his best to facilitate and see that the soldiers ballot was on the square. True for Sir Richard, he turned the job over to someone else, presumably that no suspicion of unfair play could be credited to the late, government. But when it cbriies clown to'facts, the taking of the soldiers votes on Prohibition is anything to what it should have been. According to the latest- revelation, there were at Epsom, one of the camps in England, over one thousand votes polled although only two hundred .men from this province were in this particular camp. Every soldier must have voted' five times; running' it out on these lines British Columbia must have a large army in England, one pretty near large enough to take down the Kaiser's number unaided. ' We were told by Conservatives ��������� that all would be fair in taking the soldier vote overseas. The late government even went so far as to send representatives over to see thatthey voted right -.-for their .candidates! but when it came'.to the Prohibition vote they lost heart and left it to Sir /Richard, who in turn left it to someone else, with the i"result that the final count may be pub- > li3hed some time, perhaps this , -year.. ���������'���������'.<'��������� '.���������'"/��������� O 0 O ' o ' o "There is, no doubt that the Brewster government would be backed by the people if they discarded (in the light of what has already occurred) the Prohibition vote and proceed with their plan: the prohibition'of the sale of Uflubr during the presenter. ff the gbVernment should carry out their scheme, the advantage would be (when next a vote was taken on this question) that the people would be able to form a pretty accurate idea of any benefits resulting from the drink being cut out. Practical experi- experience will be a better mentor than the flood of "anti" or "wet" literature. How Can We Conserve the Supply of Salmon? From time to' time the press of the province has called attention to the awful fish waste that has been going on. but very little notice has been taken of it as fish seemed to be so plentiful, like many other things in British Columbia, that there would be no end to the supply. There might also have been in the minds of many "sufficient for the day!' and no thought was given to the future. ' On the famous Fraser river, not so many years-ago1 either, a person would find that the percentage of salmon caught and dumped into the Gulf of Georgia was greater than that actually canned. The result of this may be, in part, <a reason for the scanty supply of salmon in recent years. The shortage of fish in many other recognized rivers in the northern section is all too apparent, and if there is not a changed condition,in this industry in the immediate.future the I salmon supply in this province will be a thing of the past. Much has has been said about the protection of fish by a weekly close season, but this is a long- range vision by politicians and corporation heads, that are after the millions in dividends out of a comparatively small investment. Twenty years ago, eighty out of every hundred cases of salmon canned at Rivers Inlet were taken out of the river. This is a short stream, with t no ������ obstructions, leading into" the Owee-kay-no Lake from the head of Rivers Inlet. This lake is perhaps one of the best salmon spawning grounds in the world. The restrictions governing fishing boundaries have always been so worded that nets could close the mouth of this river from Sunday to Saturday.. The same condition may be found all over this northern coast. At Bella Coola the same condition prevails, the tidal boundary is placed at" about the end of the tideflat and .practically at no time will it be found that mouth of the river is Unobstructed. The shortage of sockeye salmon at Kimsquit may be attributable to the same cause. The argument of the authorities in order to protect the fish supply, is to limit licences; but we would suggest that keeping nets out of the entrance of. the rivers and removal of log jams; so as to give the fish a chance of entering the spawning grounds, would be a solution of maintaining/the supply by natural propagation. In the Bella C.jola river there has existed for years and to this day absolute obstructions in the shape of log jams. Last season very few, if any, of the salmon reached the spawning ground. With ho hatchery to help out, how long will it take before the supply runs out? . The waste in salmon is not the only one. Ever since the halibut industry' commenced in British Columbia thft^slne.ss, has been attended by wastefulness. Many varieties other than halibut are taken on the lines and thrown away. In the neighborhood of the. fishing boats can be seen flounders, black cod, ling, red cod. and other varieties of the best food fish discarded. Yet cities is almost as expensive as beef. Make Country Life More Attractive. < We are glad to hear that the National Service Commission is taking steps to discover the previous trade or calling of each-man now under arms, and his intentions or capacities for his future career, at any rate in the matter of agriculture. That is the foundation industry of the Dominion. Farming-should be made so profitable, by educational and financial aid, and the social conditions of rural life should be so improved that'thousands of men, with natural inclinations that way, will be attracted to agriculture and will succeed at it. But even when that is done, the great majority of the .men will have to be provided for in other kinds of work. Weshould like to see thousands of those who are not now highly skilled, given special training to equip them with the skill they lack. '".'.' o..:; o o -o ���������^ The Interpretation of War. War brings with it the peculiar phenomenon of war prosperity. This, economically, is one of the most distressing^ things conceivable. Here is the interpretation of it. It is as if an industrious farmer and his family had worked hard for a generation and amassed flocks and herds, barns and buildings, and good stores of provisions and grain; then, in a moment of insanity, had set to work to burn the buildings, and in the warm light of the flames kill and devour the animals, and gorge themselves with-the grain and fodder, throwing the rest away. In this mad orgy one son of .the family, more idotic even than the rest, rubs his silly hands before the fire and leers:' "It is warmer here and nicer, and their is more to. eat, than in the old days when we worked hard and had but little food. Father, we are prosperous. We have done a good thing." Then" presently the fire burns down into ashes and the night comes and it is dark. And where the grain once stood and the meadows smiled in the sun, ,the wolves shall howl in the gloom of the forest! And where the homestead was, there will be graves. Such is... the interpretation of war., ��������� 0 6 0 0 0.. Pro tection of Sheep front Dogs. The Sheep Protection Act will apply only to such portions' of the province as are within the iimits of a sheep-protection district, the Lieut.-Governor-in- Council being empowered to constitute anp part of the province into a sheep-protection district by proclamation. No dog shall be allowed to be at large in any such district at any time between sunset and sunrise, unless accompanied by or,being within reasonable call of the owner or of some person having it in charge. A penalty of $50 is provided against the owner of any dog allowed to be so at large, and for the purpose of the Act the possessor or har- borer of- a do!g is considered as being the owner. Within areas to which the Act will apply no one shall be allowed to keep or have in possession any dog unless he has obtained from the provincial police a license, the fee for which shall be $1 for a male dog and $2 for a female dog, and kept the metal license tag attached to the animal by a collar.

A report appearing in a Toronto newspaper is to the effect that before a returned soldier can ;secure a government position it is necessary for him to join a Conservative Ward Association and be passed upon by the patronage committee. ' The report states that a returned soldier by the-name of Sergt. Joshua Solorhan .called at the Mayor's office of the City of Toronto on December 26, 1916, and applied for a position.' His answer was: "Go and join Ward Two Conservative Association and get in line for a government position." This was told by the mayor's military' secretary, Ssrgt.-major Creighton, who, by the way, is President of Ward One Conservative Association for the city of Toronto. Mayor Church has denied that his office is a Tory stronghold and Sergt.-major Creighton has issued a statement explaining why he told Sergt.. Soloman to join a Conservative Association. This statement says in part: , ������'I told him (Sergt.-Soloman) that he had better see some of the Ward Two men and put in his application through the Patronage Committee.

The present market price of onions surely brings a message to each home in this narrow valley, from saltwater toStillwater, reminding us that God's warm sun and the responsive alluvial deposit which forms our soil can grow just.as fine onions as any-j where in B. C. ; Let us unite with a determina- j tion to do away with paying j freight rates on goods that could ' and should be produced on our own land and by our own labor. Onions and hay have no business to appear on a ship's manifest making Bella Coola her port of delivery. Sandy soil built up by manures and fertilizers is best for this crop, not only because they ripen better when grown on light soil, but by long odds they keep better during winter than when grown on heavy loams or clayey soil, o It is almost imperative for sat- isfactory results to have the land thoroughly prepared the Fall before, und to get the seed planted as early in March or April-as the ground can be levelled off. Get your stock from a good strain of Yellow Denver's or Early Red Globe variety, and then grow your own seed from year to year by selecting the earliest ,and choicestonionsyou can pick from the patch:, it will sure surprise you the difference this will make in a year or two. Ten square feet of ground very highly enriched and kept free of weeds is better than ten times that amount of land unfed and grudgingly looked after. Chicken manure from hen houses where the floors have plenty^ of- sand scattered over them makes an excellent fertilizer, and what is very important in onion raising Lhe sand keeps it free from litter and lumps.

Why Not Discard the Prohibition Vote? ;-,The counting of the soldiers vote on .Prohibition is illuming the mind of not only Prohibitionists; butthepeopleof the province as'to how thing? are manipulated :'-% thaUhe will 6i the people can r be delayed as long as possible. :The taxpayers of British Columbia are . paying a princely salary to Sir Richard McBride to 'look afterttheirinterests in Eng- ���������lan(������ and it is only reasonable to expect that-he; would do his best to facilitate and see that the soldiers ballot was on the square. True for/;Sir Richard, he turne^ ^he job dyer to someone else, pre- , Sumably^that.no suspicion of unfair^ play could be credited to the ^fete government;' - But ��������� when it tomes doV'n.to':facts, the taking Of the soldiers votes on Prohibition is anything to what it should have been. According to the latest- revelation, there were at Epsom, one of the camps in England, over one thousand votes polled although only two hundred men from this province were in this particular-camp. Every soldier must have voted five times, running' it out on these lines British Columbia must have a large army.- in England, one pretty near large enough to take down the Kaiser's number un aided. '. We were told by Conservatives that.all -would be fair in taking the soldier vote overseas. The late government even went so far as to send representatives over to see that they voted right -rfor their candidates, but when it came ;to the Prohibition vote they lost heart and left it to Sir Richard, who in turn left it to someone else, with the result that the.final count may be published some time, perhaps this year. O 0 o o o ;r There is no doubt that the Brewster government would be backed by the people if they discarded (in the light of what has already occurred) the Prohibition vote and proceed with their plan: the prohibition of the sale of Uguor %ring the present ^war. P the gbVernment should carry out their scheme, the advantage w.ould be (when next a vote was taken on this question) that the people -would be able to form a pretty accurate idea of any benefits resulting from the drink being cut out. Practical experi- experience will be a better mentor than the flood of "anti" or "wet" literature. How Can We Conserve the Supply of Salmon?, From time to time ;the press of the province has called attention to the awful fish waste that has been going on, but. very" little notice has been taken of it as fish seemed to be "so plentiful, like many other things in British Columbia, that-there, would be no end to the supply. There mightalso have.been in the minds of many "sufficient for the day" and no thought was given to the future. _ , On the famous .Fraser river, not so many years-ago either, a person would find: that the percentage of salmon caught and dumped into the Gulf of Georgia was greater "than .that actually canned. The result of this may be, in part, a reason for the scanty supply, of salmon in recent years. The.s.hortage of fish in many other recdghized rivers in the northern section is all too apparent, and. if there is not a changed condition jn"-.this industry in the immediate future the salmon supply in "this province will be a thing of the past. Much has has been-said about the protection of fish by a weekly close season, but this is, a long- range vision by politicians and corporation heads, that are after the millions in dividends out of a comparatively small investment. Twenty years ago, eighty out of every hundred cases of salmon canned at Rivers Inlet were taken out of the river. This is a short stream, with-., no. obstructions, leading into* the;.' Ow.ee-kay-no Lake from the head of Rivers Inlet. This lake is. perhaps one of the best" ;salmon.:Vspawning grounds-in the world. The restrictions governing fishing boundaries have always been so worded that nets could close the mouth of this river from Sunday to Saturday. ; The same condition may be found all over this northern coast. At. Bella Coola the same condition prevails, the tidal boundary is placed at about the end of the 'tideflat and practically at no time will it be found cities is almost as expensive as beef. o o o 6 ^o ��������� ' Make Country Life More Attractive. We are glad to hear that the National Service Commission is taking steps to discover the previous trade or calling of each man now under arms, and his intentions or capacities for. his future career, at any rate in the matter of agriculture. That is the foundation industry of the Dominion. Farmingshould be made so profitable, by educationalandfinancial aid, and the social conditions of rural life should be so improved chat thousands of men, with natural inclinations that way,- will be attracted to agriculture and will succeed at it. But even when that is done, the .great majority of theinen will have Xb be provided, for in other kinds of work. We should like to see thousands ;of those who are not now- highly skilled, given special training to equip them with the skill they lack.' ' o * ������ ������ o o ( \ ". , * The Interpretation of War. ;, War brings with it the peculiar phenomenon of war prosperity. This, economically, is one of the most distressing.things conceivable. Here is the interpretation of it. It is as if an industrious farmer and his family had worked hard for a generation and amassed flocks and herds, barns and buildings, and good stores of provisions and.grain; then, in a moment of insanity, had set to work to burn th6 buildings, and in the warm light of the flames kill and devour the animals, and gorge themselves with the grain and fodder, throwing the rest away. In this mad orgy one son of the family, more idptic even than the rest, rubs his silly hands limits of a sheep-protection district, the Lieut-Governor-in- Council being empowered to constitute anp part of the province into a sheep-protection district by proclamation. No dog shall be allowed to be at large in any such district at any time between sunset and sunrise, unless accompanied by or being within reasonable call of the dwner or of some person having it in charge. A penalty of $50 is provided against the owner of any; dog allowed to be so at large, and for the purpose of the Act thl possessor or har- borer of- a dojg is considered as being the owner. Within areas to which the Act will apply no 6ne shall be allowed to keep or have in possession any dog unless he has obtained from the provincial police a license, the fee for which shall be $1 for a male dog and $2 for a female dog, and kept the metal license tag attached to the animal by a collar. Any. unlicensed or untagged dog may be killed at any time by any person and there shall be no claim for damages against the destroyer of an unlicensed or untagged animal. o o o o o Canadian Nickel. From the Conservative headquarters at Ottawa the following statement is issued to the Tory newspapers to show what Sir Robert Borden has, achieved for Canada: : "Took effective steps to prevent Canadian nickel reaching . the enemy, at the same time seeing that a plentiful supply reaches Great Britain and her Allies.". : Are SirJlobert Borden and his Leaders Undertaking to deceive the public or are they ignorant of the true facts? We can tell t them that Canadian nickel has reached Germany within thejast Mackay Smith, Blair & Co. Ltd VANCOUVER, B. C.

Send for Catalogue r ��������� v Prompt Attention Given Letter Ord before the fire and leers:' "It is that mouth of the river is iln- Lvarmer here and nicer, and theii obstructed. The shortage of sockeye salmon at Kimsquit may be attributable to the same cause. The argument.of the authorities in order to protect the fish supply, is to limit licences; but we would suggest that keeping nets out-of the entrance of the rivers and removal of log jams so as to give the fish a chance of entering the spawning grounds, would be a solution of maintaining the supply by natural propagation. In the Bella Coola river there has existed for years and to this day absolute obstructions in the shape of log jams. Last season very few, if any, of the salmon reached the spawning ground. With no hatchery to help out, how long will it take before the supply runs out? . The waste in salmon is not the only one. Ever since the halibut industry commenced in British Columbia thftjhwijrj^ss has been attended by wastefulness. Many varieties other than halibut are taken on the lines and thrown away. In the neighborhood of the fishing boats can be seen flounders, black cod, ling, red cod. and other varieties of the best food fish discarded. Yet the price of fish in - the coast is more to eat, than in the old days when we worked hard and had but little food. Father, we are prosperous. We have done- a good thing." Thert presently the fire burns down into; ashes, and the night comes and it is dark. And where the grain once stood and the meadows smiled in the sun, the ���������wolves shall howl in the gloom of the forest. And where the homestead was, there will be graves.

Whatever effect upon the soul, it is known to injure the.body. If the medical man is correct in his latest deductions, many of the most distressing of our physical ailments are due to. worry alone. The pulse of a worried man is irregular. It beats intermittently and its force varies greatly. There is one meaning to this. Through the marvelous influence which mind exercises upon matter the worry has gripped the heart. '600 dealers and trappers of B.

M View of a ranch in Bella Coola Valley. "THE 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. OELLA 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. ] [ ��������� J CZD SUBSCRIPTION BLANK. vBELLA COOLA PUBLISHING CO., LTD.

Onions and hay have no business to appear on a ship's manifest making Bella Coola her port of delivery. Sandy soil built up by manures and fertilizers is best for this crop, not only because they ripen better when grown on light soil, but by long odds they keep better during winter than when grown on heavy loams or clayey soil. It is almost imperative for satisfactory results to have the land thoroughly prepared the Fall before, and to get the seed planted as early in March or Aprir-as the ground can be .levelled off. Get your stock from a good strain of Yellow, Denver's, or Early Red Globe variety, and then grow your own seed from year to year by selecting the earliest and choicest onions you can pick from the patch: it will sure surprise you the difference this will make in a year, or two. Ten square feet of ground very highly enriched and kept.free of weeds is better than ten times that amount of land unfed and grudgingly looked after. Chicken manure from hen houses where the floors have, plenty ,of sand scatteredi over them" "makes an excellent fertilizer, and what is very important in onion "raising the sand keeps it free from litter and lumps. The writer has excellent results from a liberal application of liquid manure in its crude state applied on the plot anytime before the crop is plant- .
