C, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1913. $1.00 a Year Japanese Immigration Showing an Increase Many Women From Oriental Kingdom Brought to Canada,in Last Two Years Ottawa, Dec. 11.���������Japanese fimmigration, as well as the Hin- fdu movement to Canada, is showing signs of increasing, and close tab is .being kept on the growing influx of people from the Flowery Kingdom. For the first six months ;of the fiscal year 571 Japanese immigrated to Canada. Of this number no less than 289 were females, while 235 were males. There were also children. In the last few years there has been a growing number of Japanese women coming to Canada, ! which to those who are opposed to Oriental immigration in all forms is not viewed with enthusiasm. ��������� ,..'��������� Experimental Farm For Bulkley Valley Fisheries For White Men Only Asiatics to Be Eliminated Says H.C.

"The Dominion government has made' provision that 600 licenses to fish ��������� . l on the Skeena, Naas and others rivers of the north shall be issued j only to white men. 'Within five or six years it will be possible to eliminate the Asiatic from our fishing industry and place it entirely in the hands of white fishermen. Asiatics in our, p r evince at the present time could be put on the land or in some other occupation," said Mr. H. S. Clements, member of the Federal House for Comox-Atlin, at a recent meeting of Ward VI Conservatives. Fighting in Northern Mexico Practically Over Constitutionalists to Restore Civil Government Juarez, Mexico, Dec. 11.���������That the days of fighting in Northern Mexico are numbered, so far as the present revolution is concerned, is the opinion expressed by rebel leaders. What most immediately interests the so-called Constitutionalist party now is the elaboration of its civil government. There remains to be put in force a uniform currency system, as now both rebel and federal imney is in circulation. The leaders say that a government will shortly be in operation in the northern half of the country, which will be entirely detached fromthat at Mexico City.

Woman Invents Sleep Bomb Dresden, Saxony, Dec. 11.��������� The Saxony war minister has beeiutesting a recently invented powder which produces stupefaction. It is claimed the gas from a single bomb has thrown several hundred men into deep sleep lasting seven or eight hours. The inventor is a woman, Ida Boechm, and the Prussian military authorities have asked her to go to Berlin to demonstrate the efficiency of her invention. The SS. Chelohsin arrived on! up to now occupied quarters in Sunday morning with an unusually large consignment of Christmas goods for the local merchants. Included among the passengers for'this port were: Mesdames A. C. Christenson and P. Lauret- son. The Misses Elbro. Messrs E. Wheeler, A. C. Christenson, W. Coleman, E. H. Edwards, Phelps and Langill. The B. C. A. A's First Appearance The Bella Coola Athletic Association was responsible for a capital evening's entertainment at the Colony Hall, Hagensborg, on Thursday evening. Mr. H. W. M. Rolston, president, in the chair. The proceedings commenced with an exhibition of basket-ball, the Lower Bella Coola team being- opposed by a scratch team from Hagensborg. The game was fast and never lacking in interest from Start to finish, and resulted in a win for Lower Bella Cnola team by a handsome margin of points. The winners showed themselves to be a well balanced lot and with practice will be hard to beat. Following on the basket-ball game, a capital musical program was rendered. Miss Pecknokl sustained her reputation as a talented elocutionist, while the selections of the Hagensborg quartette were greatly appreciated. Mr. Crichton's cleverly-rendered violin-cello selections were received with well-merited applause which on each occasion drew an encore. Mrs. S. Le C ted as accompanist. Exhibitions on the punching- bag were given by Messrs. F. Luellyn, .1. lloage and 11. Burt all of whom are clevercxpononls. The secretary. Rev. T. C. Colwell, briefly outlined the objects of the association, ami an enjoyable evening was brought to a close. Mesdames Christenson and Lauretson have returned from a trip to Vancouver. Mr. Christenson brought with him a.large and varied assortment of X'mas goods. Ed. Wheeler landed his man di New Westminster safely and has now received his discharge as special constable. E. H. Edwards has returned from a short trip to Vancouver. Mr. Edwards had the misfortune to lose his pocket book containing a considerable sum of money. Mr. G. K. Burnett, B.C.L.S., left on the last south-bound boat for his home in New Westminster, after having completed the survey of a piece of property situated some five miles up the valley, lately purchased by the Pacific & Hudson Bay Railway Company. The secretary of the Bella Coola Development League reports being in receipt of numerous enquiries regarding Bella Coola, the prices of land, etc., from intending settlers, which tends to show the probability of a big influx into this valley during next summer. Mr. Wm. Graham of The Crossing visited town during the week. Pan McCloskey and Emery Grazier came in from South Ben- tick on Monday last for the purpose of transacting some legal business and obtaining supplies. THE JAIL IS COMPLETED The constable's quarters and lock-up. which has been under construction for some time past. is now completed saving the painting of the inside, which is at present, being rushed by ex- Grant ac-! jK>rt. workmen. | The painting of the outside of the building is to be left over until spring. Constable Broughton, who has the bank building, removed to his new quarters during the week and will soon be comfortably installed. The building though small presents a very good appearance, and constable Broughton is much pleased with the provisions made for his comfort. As to how the accommodation provided for bad-actors will coincide with their ideas of comfort remains yet to be ascertained. Mr. Frank Robinson and Miss Cora Robinson, a popular young local couple, were married on Monday. The ceremony was perfoi*med by Rev. T. C. Colwell. High winds played havoc with the telephone and telegraph wires in the valley. On Tuesday night large trees were uprooted, and in more than one instance came near to demolishing buildings. According to Mr. M. W. Marvin of Constantia Ranch, Atnarko, who arrived in town on Wednesday, the road between Hagensborg and The Crossing is strewn with trees. A sick man from Atnarko who was being brought to town for medical attention was held up a whole day before the road could be sufficiently cleared to enable a wagon to pass.

This has become one of the local events of the year, the originality of the various forms of entertainment arranged by the Indians with the assistance of Rev. W. H. Gibson, being always a source of pleasurable surprise. As announced last week the entertainment at the Lower Bella Coola School will take place on Friday 26. The people of Hagensborg, whose entertainments are always notable for a high standard of excellence, have chosen Saturday 27, for their X'mas festival, to which all are cordially invited. Given good weather and enough snow to allow of good sleighing and there will be few dull hours during X'mas week. The people at The Crossing, not to be outdone, are also arranging an entertainment to take place on Saturday 27.

Collard who left this place some time ago to take up a ranch in the Peace Paver country. Mr. Collard, writing from Peace River Crossing, Alta., says that the roads had been in such bad condition during the summer, owing to excessive rain, that very little freight had been brought in, so that at time of writing (November 3) there was a shortage of provisions and no stores. The weather having turned cold the roads were drying rapidly and it was expected that freight would soon be moving. Mr. Collard had just returned from Lake Saskatoon where he had been supervising the construction of a flour mill, and intends spending the winter on his ranch. The writer remarks on the rapid rate at which the country is being settled, stating that hundreds of claims have been taken up in that part of the country since his arrival.

''-' The .management wishes to announce to the readers of the Courier ; thai [there will be no .paper issued from Jhis office, during Christmas week- Mr. Manson Knows : /: Better .-...'A perusal of .the editorial col- urns, of'the Prince Rupert Nevrs leads us to believe that the Conservative .organ in that city has endeavored to disparage the criticisms, of the. Courier in regard to ihe expenditure of public money appropriated- for roads, bridges, etc., at<Bella Coola. ,':'��������� It appears-that the Conservative organ,. Jn expressing Mr. Manspri's view of the matter, infers:that the dissatisfaction in \ Bella \ Coola is solely on account of the fact that the roads are not money, built faster. If this is Mr. Manson's explanation, we desire to say here and now that it is wrong, and well Mr. Mansons knows that it is wrong. ��������� We do not say that if the money was properly expended in the right places that the roads would not be built faster, that is a foregone conclusion, but we do claim that we are not receiving, and for a long time past have" not received, proper value for the money expended. We claim that useless and unnecessary work has been done. We have repeatedly given specific instances and are prepared to do so again anytime Mr. Man- son so desires. OOOOO TheGourier has just received information from a reliable source that the Conservatives in the neighborhood of The Crossing have decided to hold no more club meetings, as their suggestions or recommendations never receive the slightest consideration. Here is discontent, but not only on the grounds that roads are not being bnilt fast enough, but because of the autocratic methods persistently followed by the road superintendent and just as persistently tolerated by Mr. Manson. It is useless for Mr. Manson to try to make people believe that he does not thoroughly understand conditions at Bella Coola, and instead of foolishly endeavoring to minimize our grievances it would be well if he set himself out to remedy some of them. The Machine Bribery, intimidation andBow- serism. have prevailed, and W. W. Foster the government candidate for the Islands constituency is elected by a substantial majority. ' 'If you want good roads, vote for Foster." , "If you want good wharves, vote for Foster." "If you want a business man, vote for Foster." ��������� These are the sort of promises that won the seat for Mr. Foster. It is really remarkable how easily the people are fooled. The following letter from Mr. Percival, a prominent Conserva-, tive, to Capt. Maude the Independent candidate, describing the nomination convention speaks for itself: "We put up a good fight amongst us, but the gambling crew that we were opposed to were playing with marked cards all through. It is a shameful advertisement to the world at laJge, that this constituency cannot elect one of their own residents to represent them in public life. The unscrupulous methods practised on behalf of Mr. Foster all through gives onetheimpresr sion that they would not stick at anything." A strong denunciation of the government machine methods, but strange to say this same Mr. Percival appeared "later on Mr. Foster's platform opposing the very man to whom he wrote the above letter. The machine got him and he was compelled to change his tactics. Sun of December 2. This correspondence shows that at the election of 1911 seven men were paid $10 each and numbers of others were paid their expenses from Vancouver in order that they should vote in Victoria. . The electors of the Islands have been fooled by promises, which if carried out, only means that they are bought with their own To borrow a phrase from Mr. Percival, "it is a shameful advertisement to the world at large." ooooo That the methods of the Conservative /machine in this province, though devious, are not past finding out is made apparent in the correspondence of the secretaries of -the Vancouver and Victoria Conservative Associations published in the Vancouver The Logical Course. The report of Alexander Lucas, the agricultural commissioner on his recent visit'to Australasia is indeed an interesting document. While it contains no recommendation (that being the business of the commission itself) it distinctly points out that the only logical course'for the commission to pursue, is to advise the immediate adoption of the methods tried and found satisfactory across the' Pacific as might be applied here. Dealing particularly with the colonization policy of New Zealand, Mr. Lucas found that up to 1893 the progress of land settlement and ^agriculture had been so unsatisfactory, that it was realized that unless some decisive steps were taken bankruptcy was inevitable^. ' Accordingly in 1894 legislation providing1; guaranteed loans to ���������"J '���������, settlers wks enacted. The effect was almost immedi- ate. Witn money available on suitable terms large areas have been brought under cultivation whidh would otherwise have remained untouched; the farmers have adopted an improved standard of living, and the industry has been.placed on so profitable a basis that the farmers find no difficulty.in meeting payments on mortgages, there having been only thirty-five foreclosures in eighteen-years. The per-capita area of land under cultivation has been trebled, and New Zealand is today a heavy exporter of farm products as a consequence of her enterprise. The Liberal party in the province has for years included cash advances to settlers as one of the important planks in their platform, and it would appear now that there is little choice left to the commission but to advocate the speedy adoption of this policy. According to Premier Mc- Bride's own showing there is ap proximately $13,000,000 owing to the province on account of land sales, and most of this money has been owing for some years. Had the payment of this money been enforced, and the same money granted in cash loans to settlers, it would have done much to encourage the agricultural industry which has become so decadent throughout the province. Sir Richard deplores the fact that the revenues are not flowing in as plentifully as desired. Public works throughout the province were closed down before the appropriations were more than half spent. If the province is owed $13,- 000,000, is it not high time that some of this money be brought into the treasury. Make the land speculator pay up and let us have our public works completed.

"All the years I have been living on Salt Spring there has been a splendid road-grader lying in the agricultural grounds rusting and rotting there."���������Rev. G. W. Dean. While Sir Richard McBride was greatly concerned with the affairs of the Empire, events ir. British Columbia k were so bad that the attention of the British House of Commons is being called to them. Athough in theory the Imperial Parliament is supreme, the members are not likely to countenance any interference with a self-governing province. At the same time the wide publicity which" will be given to the incident will show the world that Sir Richard McBride, in the intervals of caring for the Empire, might find some work to do in his own province,. It will also be remembered that the time this trouble was on in Vancouver Island the Dominion Minister of Labor carefully left it and went to England "to study labor conditions." He had not enough to do at home.

There could not be a better election cry. o o o ^o o i The Borden government is talking vaguely of an enquiry into the high cost of living, urged on by resolutions of the Montreal city council and other bodies. The Liberal policy is not to waste time enquiring into conditions which everybody knows to exist, but to take prompt steps to apply the proper remedy by taking the high duty off foodstuffs. It is the historic contrast between Liberal action and Tory inaction. R. B. Bennett, M.

The British sloop-of - war Shearwater has sailed from Esquimalt to the Mexican Pacific Coast to assist in the protection of British interests. Canadians are prominent among those whose interests the Shearwater goes to protect. Esquimalt is the home port of the Canadian cruiser Rainbow, and the harbor where that ship, disarmed and unmanned, now swings useless at anchor. Those, on either side of politics, who think Canada should stop sponging on the Mother Country for protection of Canadian interests on theseasand beyond them may find something strangely and unpleasantly suggestive in the fact that from a harbor where a Canadian cruiser is doomed to rust out in idleness by a flag-waving, drum-beating Canadian ministry, a little old sloop-of-war, built and maintained at the expense of the British taxpayer, has sailed to take part in the defence of Canadian interests in another part of this continent. ��������� Edmonton Bullentin. ^ 'MRS.-J.

Mittler TaSdS������st 728 Helmcken Street VANCOUVER, B.C. The Brockville Times (Cons.) recently said: "The common- sense policy is obviously a comparatively small, but effective modern navy for Canada which would in case of war automatically go under the control of the Admiralty." Theonlydifference between this Conservative paper and the Liberal naval policy is the word ' 'automatic". The difference between it and the Borden policy of a $35,000,000 contribution is just-as great as that between the Government and the Opposition. Commonsensemust be with the Liberals.
