It is said that the city is being shelled to drive out the Austrians. More tlvui eight thousand, prisoners were taken Oon August 6. ' The Gorizia bridgehead was one of the most important defensive positions of the Austrians along the Isonzo front. Gorizia is 22 miles northwest of Trieste. Lines Pushed Forward London, Aug. 8.��������� The British pushed forward their lines at places east of Trones Wood, on the Somme front, last night, the war office announcedtoday. (Official.)

One hundred and ten prisoners and ten machine guns were captured. The French made progress south of the Thiaumont works, and captured some houses in the western part of Fleury. Russians Drive Austro-Germans Back Petrograd, Aug. 8.���������South of the Dneister river, in the direction of Tyszienca, the Russians have driven the Austro-German forces back alongthe whole line for a breadth of fifteen miles. The russians have captured the town of Tlumaeh, as well as the region to the east of the Dneis- terriverand the ridge of heights there. ��������� Cossacks are pursuing the enemy southwest of the Kol- omea and Stainslau railway in Galicia.

Chasing Turks Across Desert ^��������� London, Aug. 8���������British troops pursuing the Turkish force defeated last week at Romani have caught up with the Turkish rear guard six miles east.of Katia, about 30 miles east of the Suez Canal. A bomb attack by aeroplanes over Port Said and Suez inflicted little material damage and caused slight casualties. Jottings of Bella Coola and District S.' S. Camosun, with a number of passengers for here, arrived in port Sunday afternoon. " ' Miss Belle Grant of Victoria/ is at present visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Le C. Grant, Aytoun Ranch. Mr. 1). Robinson, representing Ames, Holden������ McCready, Co., Ltd., the wholesale shoe firm of Vancouver, came upon Sunday's steamer and is spending the week in town. J. R. Morrison is home again after completing some work for the government at Safety Cove and Namu. He will not be resting very long, though as next week will see him off to the upper part of the valley. In this connection it may be stated that it is the intention to start the projected government works in the different parts of the district as soon as men become available. The last few days of ��������� fine weather have enabled the farmers to store nearly the whole of, their hay crop so that some men can now be spared for road work and othev-publie works. Separate Peace Wanted London, Aug. 8.���������Count Ka- rolyi, as the head of the opposition party, will make a vigorous effort this month to force a sep- ��������� aration of the Austrian and Hungarian armies so that Hungary may sue for a separate peace, according to a letter received here from the Morning Post's correspondent at Buda Pest. , Liberals Hold Big Meeting at Merritt Merritt, Aug. 8.���������Mr. Brewster and ex-Mayor Walters, the Liberal candidate in Yale, were the chief speakers at a political mass meeting held in the Rex Theatre. A crowd of about 4000 persons were present, and the meeting lasted until midnight. Mr. Brewster assailed the present government on a number of points, and suggested clearing out.the lot as the only solu- of a bad state-of affairs.,, ������������������ Mr. Walters discussed'the agricultural credit system and, expressed the fear that present act would not be administered fairly. The party went from here to Princeton, 72 miles. , Split Ticket Plan Favored Victoria, ,Aug. 9���������A new political movement in Victoria is being- organized by ^.he business element in the city who wish to avoid a onesided legislature in the event of either party making a clean sweep of the country. A committee is working hard with a view to campaigning in the interests of two men on each of the party tickets. Hon. Alex. Stewart and Reginald Hayward are the two Conservative candidates endorsed, while H. C. Brewster and John Hart are the Liberal selections. Positions Found for Invalided Soldiers Prince Rupert, Aug. 9. The soldiers from Northern British Columbia who have been invalided back, find positions as a general rule. They have hot long to wait. ��������������������������� ��������� v. ' ��������� Arthur Noble, who went out as a member of Prince Rupert's original contingent, and who lost an eye at Festubert, is now serving in the customs department. Sergt. James Neville, whose experiences in France unfitted him from further duty, has been appointed to a post in the fisheries at Rivers Inlet. . Edward Biddle, severly wounded *at Festalberti is now keeper of the Hoi land Rock beacon, off the mouth of the Skeena river. And so with a number of other men unfitted for further duty at the front, positions have been found i'or them readily. Misses Addie and Janet Gibson returned last Sunday from a visit to Victoria. They were accompanied by their brother Rev. John Gibson, who.is spending wilderness to blossom and bear fruit. His nearest neighbor is still thirty miles distant from his ranch. ' . ,, Miss E. Heffron came up on last Sunday's.steamer from Victoria, and will spend a few weeks h'ere visiting at the home of Rev. W. H. Gibson. Peter Oveson and Walter Rat- cliff, two of our long-time resi7 dents, left'last Sunday to join tlieir regiment the American Legion encamped at Calgary.' Their safe and speedy return after the task completely finished is the wishes of their- many friends. " The second,anniversary of the war was observed by a large audience at the Mackenzie school last Sunday evening. The Reverends W. H. and John Gibson occupied the platform and gave appropriate addresses: Mr. A. Atkins^gave one of his usual finely rendered solos. He was ably accompanied by Mrs. Atkins on the organ. The simple, tasty program was highly appreciated. ��������� Despite the fact that the run of Sockeye salmon virtually proved a failure, this season's fishing promises to become a record breaker at Bella Coola. ^ ���������The local cannery has been full capacity. No reports are to hand for Namu or Kimsquit, but both these places have done fairly well. , RED CROSS CONCERT .. and ..

A Call to the Colors. The fishing season' is now practically ended and the crops are mostly gathered, so that now a great many, more men can be spared in the' defense of our country and the principles it, is fighting for. The country is appealing for more men of military age to come to its aid. Bella Coola has sent a large quota of men' already to tl e front, but we believe more are still available. Now is the chance to both serve the country and to see the most stining of events in the far off countries of the world at the same time.- Enterprising and adventurous men should quickly avail themselves of this opportunity from which they in after lifb.will reap gu������t benefits. c <^ The 238th Forestry Battalion now recruiting at Prince Ruptit is sending out the following appeal: To the youth of the land who has been looking about for s< me form of service'to his Empire without experiencing the hand- PROVINGrAIl.ELECTION' Your influence and support is respectfully requested.

It is hoped that Bella Coola will be able to send a creditable exhibit this time also.

' There appears to he a certain freedom and independence in this type of service which is appealing to a hardy class of citizens, and while the original intention of Col. Smyth was to take only bushmen, sawyers, millworkers and lumbermen, the demand has now become so keen from young farmers, drivers," from soldiers from other battalions, and from different types of citizens, that it has been decided to make the qualfications broader in order that others may catch a place in the ranks. While, owing to the special, authorization of this battalion its services do not include fighting,, its popularity seems to be. due rather' to the fact that the ' men will .get a taste of active lumbering, and that many of those, who enlist will be able to continue their regular trade,' with all the honor of wearing the khaki, and will accordingly not be called upon to learn some n e w business. Hundreds of lumbermen and-teamsters who step directly from the woods or the farm into the 238th Battalion will find that they will be able to do the work required of them Instead of the regular service'just as readily as though they (Continued on page 4, column 2.) j Continued on page 2, column 3. ���������'-* CZS). m .",'���������/ "~W ��������� BELLA COOLA, COURIER Saturday, August 12, 19)6 The ���������^ uner | our credit is good and, therefore, | he is,able th borrow more and | j'uHi.isni:i)\Vjy)HC!.v at k'I.u.aCoola i������y ��������� plunge us still heavier in debt.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1916. o A "Business Administration." c ��������� The Premier says' he is conducting a business administraj tion. Let us examinejthat statement. In the current year he is spending $11,301,374 against an estimated revenue of $5,94-1,015. Is there another province or state in the world where such a condition of affairs exists? Is there a reputable private business anywhere which spends two - dollars for ever dollar it receives? What would happen to it if it did? Its0credit would be destroyed and it would crash into bankruptcy." Two big railroad systems in Canada are in-financial difficulties with,much less proportionate differences between income and outlay. This year's deficit of the province increases the total discrepancy between revenue and expenditure for the last five or six years to some $22,000,000. To fill this , ' gaping hole the provincial debt has been enlarged by nearly $13^000,000 in four years and $10,G00,09f/"more are being borrowed. Is it any wonder that our securities are being hawked around for a little more than 80 cents on the dollar and that one of the great New York banking houses lately sent a representative to British Columbia to investigate its financial administration? The per capita expenditures oJ the various provinces ol Canada are as follows: British Columbia, %U. 13;���������"Albcrta, $6.87���������;��������� Saslcatclv ewan, $7.16; Manitoba, $10.50; Ontario, $4.19; Quebec, '$4.11; New Brunswick; $4.08; Nova Scotia,'- $3.91; ,Prince Edward Island, $4.80. The per capita expenditure of the Dominion, apart from the war outlay, is about$24. And thisiswartime, when every public man. and economist of note is preaching economy' and thrift, when authorities like Sir George Paish sternly warn those entrusted with the'., handling of public funds that retrenchment is an imperative necessity,, when every banker points out that to avoid serious trouble in the near future the most rigid.caution is required in the present ���������!--Victoria Times. o o o . o 6 The per.capita indebtedness of the province is (we do not know what the white population is) between $75'and $100, and in the face of this huge amount the! premier assures the people that' it will require the total revenue of the province to pay interest on our indebtedness or else taxes will be' raised to such a height that business men will shun the province. o o o o o A Useful Member. We noiice that Hon. William Manson does not find it'below thedignity of his 'new position as a minister of the crown to go about the" country peddling campaign literature. On his trip up to Prince Rupert last week, he was seen at the different stopping places of the steamer handing round three namphlets entitled, "Plugging," "Premier's Promises Kept," and "Premier's Speech, March 20, 1916." Somehow in his ������exeossive modesty he did not include in the distribution that pamphlet on '"What Mr. Win. Manson Has Done for Prince Rupert," and which proved so interesting on its first appearance in his home city. It may be that he reserves this for the reading of the voters at Prince Rupert exclusively. We have had the privilege of seeing one of these highly entertaining documents enumerating Mr. Manson's services and may describe it as one of those elucidating pieces of literature which even "those who run may read." Or to be more explicit, there is nothing printed in it. Its pages are blank. They therefore describe Mr. Manson's usefulness to perfection. c o o o o If Mr. Manson expects to be elected on his record it is the general opinion that, in case Mr. Bowser is returned to power, Mr. Manson will do the country more good by staying at home than by occupying a seat in the legislature and a position as a minister of the crown. Because His record proves conclusively that Mr. Bowser, the nitocrat, will do equally well or bad, as the case may be, without Mr. Manson's approbation. Mr. Manson has not sufficient originality, independence or convictions to plan or carry out anything for the good of the province, or even if he has, he will do nothing which he does not believe is in accordance with his master's views. He has the greatest respect for Mr. Bowser's wisdom. He is a rubber stamp of the most' pronounced type. His staying at home will not affect, perceptibly, the carrying on of the legislation or routine business of the province, .and his salary, indemnity and traveling expenses would be saved. o o o o o ' t The Kaiser is seemingly getting very tired of the war which he so confidently launched two years ago fully convinced that he could end it af his own pleasure, lie is now assuring high heavens and the neutral world that he "did not will this war." If he would, say"this kind of a war," they who know the circumstances under which it was began would believe he told the truth. - A Call to the Colors (Continued from Front Pago.) had been soldiers all their lives. The first duty of the 238th, upon reaching England, will be to,~join,the 224th Forestry Bat- talion,������which is now engaged in cutting down the __ historical forests of Windsor to supply l'oujih lumber for its hundred- and-one odd uses at the front.- Though the 238th Foresters are intended for immediate duty in September or early October, in Windsor Forest, they may even be called upon to cross into , Southern France to cut down the 1 " *��������� timber there, but wherever they go it is an assured fact that they will be one of the greatest services to the Empire which any equal number of men will ever be called upon to perform. It is very true that the work of the Foresters, though carried out quietly and without ostentation, is essential to the saving of the Empire and it follows, as well, that the hardy men of the north- land and from the farms who enlist with the unit will incur a debt of gratitude,- which those who remain behind will never be able to repay in years to come. Lieut.-Colohel Smythe is now on a tour of the western provinces establishing his recruiting depots. In British Columbia, recruiting depots have been located chiefly through the north country where most of the' lumbermen live, but a 'letter dropped to Major J. 11. McMullin, Capt. G. B. HullV.Capt. H. E. Tremayne, Prince Rupert; or to the headquarters at Ottawa, will secure any information required. ��������� Recruits are not held in British Columbia after their enlistment, but arc forwarded to the Headquarters camp which is located at the famous Jockey Club grounds at' Ottawa.' Here the necessary instruction is given and all preparations made for an early departure to the front. It is well to throw out the suggestion that if any man is looking for active fighting the 238th Forestry Battalion is not the unit to join. . o o o o o A Chance of a Lifetime.

Labor Has Condemned the Prohibition -���������*��������� Act Trades and LaborCouncilsof Coast Cities Pass- Strong Resolutions- Reasons Why Workingmen Should Vote Against the Bill. The Famous Drug Store Evil. Section 14 of the Prohibition Act. This is the section which caused so much discussion and opposition in the Legislative Assembly, when the Act was introduced. It permits the sale of liquor by any druggist in the Province up to a quantity of five gallons at any one time on a doctor's prescription, but there is nothing to prevent this sale or smaller sales, being repeated many times in one day. NOriS ��������� Under the Canada Temperance ' Act (Scott Act) claimed to be so effective, I en ounces ia the largest amount a druggist can sell at one time. Organized labor has declared its position with reference to the B. C. Prohibition, Act with no uncertain sound, the result of close investigation of and keen discussion on the Bill having resulted in the straight declaration by the Coast labor bodies that the Act should be condemned and that the workingmen of British Columbia should do all in their power to defeat the measure at the polls. , The Vancouver Trades and Labor Council, the most representative central labor organiza- tion in British Columbia, at its meeting on July 20th, passed a strong resolution against" the Act, the closing paragraph reading as follows: "Resolved that the Trades and Labor Council in Vancouver, B. C, in harmony with representative bodies of organized labor elsewhere places itself on record as opposed to the British Columbia Prohibition Act and to the principles involved therein." In adopting the above resolution the Vancouver Trades Council was but following the steps of the New Westminster Trades and Labor Council which on June 14th passed the following resolution: "Resolved that this Council go on record as opposed to prohibition as contained in the proposed Bill, from an economic and social standpoint and report this decision to the, various unions with the request that they help to defeat the Bill." The resolutions above noted are in line with the action of the Victoria Trades and Labor Council and the Prince Rupert Labor Council. WORKINGMEN HAVE A "KICK" COMING A few lines we specially recommend Great West Tea Duerrs��������� Jams and Jellies Griffen & Skelleys famous gold and silverbar��������� ' Canned and,dried fruits LEESON, DICKIE, GROSS & CO., Ltd. St Wholesale Grocers Vancouver, B. C. & The discussion in connection with the passage, of these resolutions showed plainly that work,- ingmen believe they have a just "kick", in connection with the Prohibition'Act/ It was,slated that the measure is class legisla^ tion of the rankest type inasmuch as it allows the man of means to- secure all the liquor he desires by importing it from outside points, but at- the same 'time places a handicap on' the work.- ingm'an who can only afford to buy his beer by the glass. This argument is directly along the line of the remarks by Mr. Parker Williams, Member for Newcastle, on discussion of the Bill in the House, when he openly declared the Act to be class legislation and stated that while he, "would vote for Prohibition that would prohibit he would never have anything to do' with' such lopsided; jug-handled imitation such as the present Bill." 0 The Act is also objectionable to trade unions inasmuch as many of its clauses were declared to be un-British and.unfair. ' It was pointed out that any person could tell & constable that he suspected a man had liquor illegally in his possession. On this information, and without disclosing the name of the in- informer, the constable could enter a man's house, break into all the rooms, closets, etc., without a warrant. Such provisions were severly criticised by members of the labor councils as absolutely opposed to the British idea that "A man's house is his castle." In taking the action they did, the councils were also moved by the feeling that they should support the large bodyof working- men who are today either directly or indirectly engaged in connection with the operation of jicensed premises. Itwasstated that 3700 men are now thus employed and that 6000 persons are dependent upon them for a living. This 'does not include over 1200 employees of licensed premises who are now at the front. As the Prohibition Act would mean that these men would be thrown out of work, the councils considered that legislation leading to such action, especially at this time should be vigorously* opposed. - , Many delegates who took part in the council discussions said they were Prohibitionists. They stated, however, that they were opposed to the Act because it was not a Prohibition Act in any real sense of the term, provision being made in it for the purchase of liquor by importation or otherwise; just as freely as is now the case. They plainly stated that they did not consider a vote against the Prohibition Act a vote against the principle of Pro'-. hibitionV'as'" to ���������their minds, the passage of such an act as was proposed would not in anyway lessen the purchase or consumption of liquor. As a matter of fact, although it might tend- to decrease the consumption of SYNOPSIS OF COAL MINING REGULATIONS f������0AL MINING KIGHTS of the Dominion, in ** Maniiijua., Saskatchewan and Albert*, the Yukon Teiikitoky. the North-west 'J'ebri- ���������TOK1R3 and in u portion of the 1'kovince of Hhitish Columbia, may be leased for & term of twenty-one years ul an annual rental of $1 an acre.

It is said that the city is being shelled to drive out the Austrians. More than eight thousand prisoners were taken on August 6. The Gorizia bridgehead was one of the most important defensive positions of the Austrians along the Isonzo front. Gorizia is 22 miles northwest of Trieste Lines Pushed Forward London, Aug. 8.���������The British pushed forward their lines at places east of Trones Wood, on the Sommejront, last night, the war office announced today. (Official.) Determined attacks on the British lines north and northeast of Pozieres yesterday were repulsed. The Germans succeeded in entering the British linesr at one or two places, but were driven out. French Capture German Trenches Paris, Aug. 8.���������Late yesterday the French captured a line of German trenches between Hem Wood and the Somme. One hundred and ten prisoners and ten machine guns were captured. The French made progress south of the Thiaumont works, and captured some houses in the western part of Fleury. Russians Drive Austro-Germans Back Petrograd, Aug. 8. ���������South of the Dneister river, in the direction of Tyszienea, the Russians have driven the Austro-German forces back along the whole line for a breadth of fifteen miles. The russians have captured the town of Tlumach, as well as thc- region to the east of the Dneis cer river and the ridge of heights there. Cossacks are pursuing the enemy southwest of the Kol- omea and Stainslau railway in Galicia. The total number of prisoners taken by the Russians in the battles on the Sereth river on Aug. 5 and 6, the official statement adds, was 166 officers and 8,451 men. The Russians in this region are advancing. Chasing Turks Across Desert London, Aug. 8���������British troops pursuing the Turkish force defeated last week at Romani have caught up with the Turkish rear guard six "miles east of Katia, about 30 miles east of the Suez Canal.

Liberals Hold Big Meeting at Merritt Merritt, Aug. 8. Mr. Brews- tor and ex-Mayor Walters, the Liberal candidate in Yale, were the chief speakers at a political mass meeting held in the Rex Theatre. A crowd of about 4000 persons were present, and the meeting lasted untirmidnight. Mr. Brewster assailed the present government on a number of points, and suggested clearing out the lot as the only solu- of a bad state of affairs. Mr. Walters discussed the agricultural credit system and expressed the fear that present act would not be ad ministered fairly. The party went from here to Princeton, 72 miles. Split Ticket Plan Favored Victoria, Aug. 9���������A new political movement in Victoria is being organized by the business element in the city who wish to avoid a one sided legislature in the event of either party making a clean sweep of the country. A committee is working hard with a view to campaigning in the interests of two men on each of the party tickets. Hon. Alex. Stewart and Reginald Hay ward are the two Conservative candidates endorsed, while H. C. Brewster and John Hart are the Liberal selections. Positions Found for Invalided Soldiers Prince Rupert, Aug. 9. The soldiers from Northern British Columbia who have been invalided back, find positions as a general rule. They have not long to wait. Arthur Noble, who went out as a member of Prince Rupert's original contingent, and who lost an eye at Festubert, is now serving in the customs department. Serm. James Neville, whose experiences in France unfitted him from further duty, has been appointed to a post in the fisheries at Rivers Inlet. Edward Biddle, severly wounded at Festubert, is now keeper of the Holland Rock beacon, off the mouth of th" Skeena river. And so with a number of other men unfitted for further duty at the front, positions have been found for them readily. J. R. Morrison is home again after completing some work for the government at Safety Cove and Namu. He will not be resting very long though as next week will see him off to the upper part of the valley. In this connection it may be stated that it is the intention to start the projected government works in the different parts of the district as soon as men become available. The last few days of fine weather have enabled the farmers to store nearly the whole of their hay crop so. that some men can now be spared for road work and other public, works.

The Directors hope thLt they will receive, as in previous years, the earnest co-operation of all interested in the development of the District, towards the making of the 1916 Fair as great a success as previous ones. All interested are asked either to make exhibits themselves or influence others to make them. The Directors havf; arranged for free transportation of exhibits this year. It is hoped that Bella Coola will be able to send a creditable exhibit this time also. The growing season has not, it is true, been as favorable as in former years, and that therefore the produce has not attained the usual high standard, but it maybe safely inferred that other parts of the district have been similarly affected and therefore our exhibit will compare well with others. The Northern British Columbia Index and Guide, published in Prince Rupert, and compiled by The fishing for Cohoe salmon ] F. S. Wright, is one of the late will begin next week.

The fishing season is now practically ended and the crops are mostly gathered, so that now a great many more men can be spared in the defense of our country and the principles it is fighting for. The country is appealing for more men of military age to Come to its aid. Bella Coola has sent a large quota of men already to tie front, but we believe more are still available. Now is the chance to both serve the country and to see the most stirring of events in the far off countries of the world at the same time. Enterprising and adventurous men should quickly avail themselves of this opportunity from which they in after life will reap great benefits. The 238th Forestry Battalion now recruiting at Prince Rupert is sending out the following.appeal: To the youth of the land who has been looking about for seme form of service to his Empire without experiencing the hardships and hazards of trench life. To the hardened dwellers of the northland there has now ccme a great opportunity to perform the highest type of military sen ite. The new Forestry Battalion, the 238th, will, without doubt, touch responsive chords in the patriotism of thousands of Canadians. Judging from the rate at which applications are flooding into the recruiting depots all over the province, and to the headquarters at Ottawa, it will be a case of hurry if a man is to catch a place on this non-combatant force. There appears to be a certain freedom and independence in this type of service which is appealing to a hardy class of citizens, and while the original intention of Col. Smyth was to take only bushmen, sawyers, millworkers and lumbermen, the demand has now become so keen from young farmers, drivers, from soldiers from other battalions, and from different types of citizens, that it has been decided to make the qualfications broader in order that others may catch a place in the ranks. While, owing to the special authorization of this battalion its services do not include fighting, its popularity seems to be due rather to the fact that the men will get a taste of active lumbering, and that many of those who enlist will be able to continue their regular trade, with all the honor of wearing the khaki, and will accordingly not be called upon to learn some new business. Hundreds of lumbermen and teamsters who step directly from the woods or the farm into the 238th Battalion will find that they will be able to do the work required of them just as readily as though they Continued on page 2, column 3.

A "Business Administration/' The Premier says he is con- ducting a business administra- . tion. ' Let us examinecthat statement.- In the current year he is spending $11,301,374 against an ��������� estimated revenue of $5,944,015. - Is there another province or state in the world where such a condition of affairs exists? Is . there a 'reputable private business anywhere which spends two " dollars for ever dollar it receives? What would happen to it if it did? Its .credit would be destroyed and it would, crash into bankruptcy. Two big railroad systems, in -Canada are in financial difficulties with' much less proportionate differences'- between income and outlay. This year's deficit of the province increases the total discrepancy between revenue and expenditure for the last five or six years to some $22,000,000. To fill this gaping hole the provincial debt .has been enlarged by nearly $13,000,000 in four years and $10,000,000 more are being borrowed. Is it any wonder that our securities are being hawked around for a little more than 80 . cents on the dollar and that one of the great New York banking houses lately sent a representative to British Columbia to investigate its financial administration ? The per capita expenditures of the various provinces of Canada are asfollows: British Columbia, $34.18; Alberta, $6.87; Saskatchewan, $7.16; Manitoba, $10.50; Ontario, $4.19; Quebec, $4.11; New Brunswick, $4.08; Nova Scotia, $3.91; -Prince Edward Island, $4.80. The per capita expenditure of the Dominion, apart from the war outlay, is about $24. And this is wartime, when every public man and economist of note is preaching economy and thrift, when authorities like Sir George Paish sternly 'warn those entrusted with the handling of public funds that retrenchment is an imperative necessity, when every banker points out that to avoid serious trouble in the near future the most rigid caution is required in the present!���������Victoria Times. o o o o o The per capita indebtedness of the province is (we do not know what the white population is) between $75 and $100, and in the face of this huge amount the premier assures the people that A Useful Member. We notice that Hon. William Manson does not find it below the dignity of his new position as a minister of the crown to go about the country peddling campaign literature. On his trip up to Prince Rupert last wee'lj, he was seen at the different stopping places of the steamer handing round three pamphlets entitled, "Plugging," "Premier's Promises Kept," and "Premier's Speech, March 20, 1916." Somehow in his- excessive modesty he did not include in the distribution that pamphlet on "What, Mr. - Wm. Manson Has Done for Prince Rupert," and which proved so interesting on its first appearance in his home city. It may be that he reserves this for the reading,of the voters at Prince Rupert exclusively. We have had the privilege of seeing one of these highly entertaining documents enumerating Mr. Manson's services and may describe it as one of those elucidating pieces of literature which .even "those who run may read." Or to be more explicit, there is nothing printed in it. Its pages are blank. They therefore describe Mr. Manson's usefulness to perfection. o o o o o ��������� If Mr. Manson expects to be elected on his record it is the general opinion that," in case Mr. Bowser is returned to power, Mr. Manson will do the country more good by staying at home than by occupying a seat in the legislature and a position as a minister of the crown. Because his record proves conclusively that Mr. Bowser, the tutoerat, will do equally well or bad, as the case may be, without Mr. Manson's approbation. Mr. Manson has not sufficient originality, independence or convictions to plan or carry out anything for the good of the province, or even if he has, he will do nothing which he does not believe is in accordance with his master's views. He has the greatest respect for Mr. Bowser's wisdom. He is a rubber stamp of the most pronounced type. His staying at home will not affect, perceptibly, the carrying on of the legislation or routine business of the province, and his salary, indemnity and traveling expenses would be saved, oooo-o The Kaiser is seemingly getting very tired of the war which he so confidently launched two years ago -fully convinced that he could end it at his own pleasure. He is now assuring high heavens and the neutral world that he ''did not will this war." If he would say "this kind of a-war," they who know -the circumstances, under which it was began would believe he told the truth. A Call to the Colors (Continued from Front Page.) had been soldiers all their lives. . The first duty of the 238th, upon reaching England, will be to join the 224th Forestry Battalion, which is now engaged in cutting down the historical forests of Windsor to supply rough lumber for its hundred- and-one odd uses at the front. Though the 238th Foresters are intended for immediate duty in September or .early October, in Windsor Forest, they may even be called upon to cross into Southern France to cut down the timber there, but wherever they go it is an assured fact that they will be one of the greatest services to. the Empire which any equai number of men will ever be called upon to perform. It is very true that the work"of the Foresters, though carried out quietly and without ostentation, is essential to the saving of the Empire and'it follows, as,well, that the hardy men of the north- land and from the farms who enlist with-the unit will incur a debt of gratitude, which those who remain behind will never be able to repay in years to come. Lieut.-Colonel Smythe is now on a tour of trje western provinces establishing his recruiting depots. - In Britisli Columbia, recruiting depots have been located chiefly through the north country where most 6f the lumbermen live, but a letter dropped to Major J. H. McMullin, Capt. G. B. Hull, Capt H. E. Tremayne, Prince Rupert; or to the headquarters at Ottawa, will secure any information required. Recruits are'not held in British Columbia after their enlistment, but are forwarded to the Headquarters camp which is located at the famous Jockey Club grounds at Ottawa. Here the necessary instruction is given and all preparations made for an early departure to the front.

Labor Has Condemned the Prohibition Act Trades and Labor Councils of Coast Cities Pass Strong Resolutions- Reasons Why Workingmen Should Vote Against the Bill. The Famous Drug Store Evil. Section 14 of the Prohibition Act. This is. the section which caused so much discussion and opposition in the Legislative Assembly, when the Act was introduced. It permits the sale of ���������liquor by any druggist in the province up to a quantity of five gallons at any one time on a doctor's, prescription, but there is nothing to prevent this sale or | smaller sales, , being repeated many times in one day. NOTE -���������Lfnder ,. the Canada Temperance Act (Scott Act) claimed to be so effective, ten ounces is the largest amount a druggist can sell at one time. Organized labor has declared its position with reference to the B. C. Prohibition Act with no uncertain sound, the result of close investigation of and keen discussion on the Bill having resulted in thestraightdeclaration by the Coast labor bodies that the Act should be condemned and that the workingmen of British Columbia should do all in their power to defeat the measure at the polls. The Vancouver Trades and Labor Council, the most representative central labor organization in British Columbia, at its meeting on July 20th, passed a strong resolution against the Act, the closing paragraph reading as follows: "Resolved that the Trades and Labor Council in Vancouver, B. C, in harmony with representative bodies of organized labor elsewhere places itself on record as opposed to the British Columbia Prohibition Act and to the principles involved therein." In adopting the above resolution the Vancouver Trades Council was but following the steps of the New Westminster Trades and Labor Council which on June 1.4th passed the following resolution: "Resolved that this Council go on record as opposed to prohibition as contained in the proposed Bill, from an economic and social standpoint and report this decision to the various unions with the request that they help to defeat the Bill." , i The resolutions above noted are in line with the action of the Victoria Trades and Labor Council and the Prince Rupert Labor Council. WORKINGMEN HAVE A "KICK" COMING A feu) lines we specially recommend Great West Tea Duerrs��������� Jams and Jellies Griffe.n & Skelleys famous gold and siiverbar��������� Canned and dried fruits LEESON, DICKIE, GROSS & CO., Ltd. Wholesale Grocers Vancouver, B. C. J The discussion in connection with the passage of these resolur tions showed plainly that workingmen believe they have a just "kick", in connection with the Prohibition Act. It was stated that the measure is class legislation of the rankest type inasmuch as it allows the man of means to secure all the liquor he desires by importing it from outside points, but at the same time places a handicap on the work- ingman who can only afford to buy his beer by the glass. This argument is directly along the line of the remarks by Mr. Parker Williams, Member for Newcastle, on discussion of the Bill in the House, when he openly declared the Act to be class legislation and stated that while he "wouid vote for Prohibition that would prohibit- he would never have anything to do with such lopsided, jug-handled imitation such as the present Bill." The Act is also objectionable to trade unions inasmuch as many of its clauses were declared to be un-British and unfair. It was pointed out that any person could tell a constable that he suspected a man had liquor illegally in his possession. On this information, and without disclosing the name of the in- informer, the constable could enter a man's house, break into all the rooms, closets, etc., without a warrant. Such provisions were severly criticised by members of the labor councils as absolutely opposed to the British idea that "A man's house is his castle." In taking the action they did, the councils were also moved by the feeling that they should support the large body of working- men who are today either directly or indirectly engaged in connection with the operation of licensed premises. It was stated that 3700 men are now thus employed and that 6000 persons are dependent upon them for a living. This does not include over 1200 employees of licensed premises who are now at the front. As the Prohibition Act would mean that these men would be thrown out of work, the councils considered that legislation leading to such action, especially at this time should be vigorously opposed. Many delegates who took part in the council discussions said they were Prohibitionists. They stated, however, that they were opposed to the Act because it was not a Prohibition Act in any real sense of the term, provision being made in it for the purchase of liquor by importation or otherwise just as freely as is now the case. They plainly stated that they did not consider a vote against the Prohibition Act a vote against the principle of Prohibition, as to their minds, the passage of such an act as was proposed would not in any way lessen the purchase or consumption of liquor. As a matter of fact, although it might tend to decrease the consumption of SYNOPSIS OF COAL MINING REGULATIONS fOAL MINING RIGHTS of the Dominion, in ^ Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ai.bekta, the Yukon Tekkitory, the North-west Terri- ��������� TORIKS arid in a portion of the PROVINCE of British Columbia, may b<; leased for a term oC twenty-one years at an annual rental of $1 an acre.

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. HTHE 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. czo| DELLA COOLA and the surrounding country possesses wonderful wealth in timber, as yet almost entirely undeveloped, and perhaps at no other point on the Northern Ceast is there the same opportunity for a remunerative investment as in a saw mill at Bella Coola. mm&M Get "More Money" for your Foxes Muskrat, White Weasel, Beaver, Lynx, Wolves, Marten and other Fur bearers collected In your section SUM' YOUK I-'UHSDIltECT to "SH U11ERT" the largest bouse In (be World dealing exclusively In NORTH AMERICAN RAW iilkS a reliable���������responsible���������sale Fur House with an unblemished reputation existing for "more thnn a third of a century," a lonK successful record of send in K Fur Shippers prompt ATI S FACTORY AND PROFITABLE returns.
