Dingman well No. 2 struck high-grade oil this morning in close proximity to the Clarke-Mitchell holdings. The various schools throughout the valley opened on Monday, each with good attendance of pupils. The Hagensborg school is in charge of a new teacher in the person of Miss Barwise. Miss W. Pecknold is back again at the Lower Bella Coola school, and the Mackenzie school in the town is temporary in charge of Mr. H. ; L. Harris pending the arrival of a certificated teacher. The stork paused in his flight over this town on Wednesday morning and left a little daughter at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Gadsden. The Courier joins their many friends in hearty congratulations. Mr. Frank Ratcliffof Atnarko, visited town on business Thursday. He reports that the road work in the upper part of the valley is proceeding at a fair rate and it is anticipated that by Mr. J. Fall, provincial government engineer, left town on Sunday to locate the projected wagon road to connect Bella Coola with the present road leading west from the Cariboo Road. The point of junction will presumably be at Tatla Lake. This is an old idea to many of our neighboring settlers, and also to the people of Chilcotin who have long wished for an outlet to the coast at Bella Coola. Once out of the Bella Coola Valley and the construction of this road will be simple, but it seems that those responsible for our road building in the past were not fitted to the task, and knowing this, they never furthered the efforts of the people to secure this through road. It is gratifying to have some little assurance that the long wished for road to Tatla Lake may be a reality in the course of the next few years.

Every British ship capable of any warlike service is stripped for action uiid the Niobe not yet in commission. , Why? She is a vessel of 11,000 tons; more than three times the size of the much talked of German" cruiser Leipzig and more than twice as big as the Karlsruhe, one of the German cruisers in the North Atlantic. She is 1200 tons larger than the Japanese warship Idzurno, the biggest vessel on this side of the Pacific, excepting of course United States battleships.

Our Conservative friends will be given their opportunity later on, and we can only advise them to save their arguments as they will surely need them. Wait and see. Plucky Little Belgium. It is being" truly said that Belgium's resistance to Germany has astonished the world. German military commanders are learning today that it is dangerous to underestimate the most insignificant foe. There is little doubt that the Belgian army is performing its part in an elaborate plan of campaign, devised by some supreme authority. If this be really the case, the energy and determination displayed by little Belgium in the performance of her duty, demands the admiration and commendation of the whole world. Undaunted by the demand of Germany for a free passage of her troops through Belgian territory, she promptly picked up the gauntlet thrown down by the arrogant invaders, and so stoutly has she resisted the advance of the German hosts as to completely upset the plans of the enemy in regard to the invasion of France by what seemed to be the easiest possible route. i Every business man ought to keep his hard luck stories to him- the same type as the Birmingham, which sent the Kaiser's submarine U-15 to the bottom in the night attack two weeks ago, but is somewhat smallerthan the Birmingham. The Newcastle was completed at the Elswick yards in 1910. She is a ship of 4800 tons displacement, 480 feet in length, 47 feet beam and 15 1-4 feet draft. Her horsepower is 24,669 and her speed 26.26 knots an hour. She mounts two 6-inch guns, ten 4-inch, one 12-pounder and four machine guns, and has, two torpedo tubes. Her deck armor is 2 3-4 inches thick. The Newcastle has a capacity for 650 tons of coal and carries a complement of' 376 men. Her captain is F. A. Powlett; commander,' N. W. Diggle; lieutenant-commander, A. G. Sparrow. The Leipzig is a much older vessel and is smaller, slower and less heavily armored and/carries smaller guns. The Leipzig was built at Bremen in 1906. She is 3200 tons, 341 feet in length, 13 1-2 feet beam and 16 1-2 feet draft. Her speed is 23 knots and her horsepower 11,000. She has ten 4-inch guns and fourteen machine guns and two torpedo tubes. Her deck armor is two inches thick. She has capacity for 800 tons of coal and carries a complement of 286 men. Her only advantage is her coal-carrying capacity, which gives her a self. He ought to, when asked greater steaming radius. This, how business is with him, reply that he is making a satisfactory profit on the capital invested, and let it go at that, if- he does not pursue the conversation further. No one shouldj ever talk in a discouraging manner or tone. , There has been much speculation among our local readers in regard to the relatiy'e size and armament of the various warships which are known to be at present in Pacific Coast waters. The Courier is in receipt of what we believe to be authoritative information on this matter which we herewith impart to our readers: A comparison of the Newcastle and Leipzig shows that the British ship leads in practically every point. The Newcastle is one of the new "Town Class" cruisers of the British fleet. She is of of course, is entirely, neutralized by the fact that the Newcastle has a supply base, while the Leipzig has none. The Leipzig's heavier draft will make it impossible for her to take to shallow water and thus keep out of range of the Newcastle's heavier guns. The Nurnberg, the other German cruiser on the Pacific coast, is of 3396 tons displacement, 354 feet in 1 ength, 43.1-2 feet beam and 15 3-4 feet draft. She was was built at Kiel in 1908. Her armor is the same as that of the Leipzig, while her battery consists of ten 4-inch, eight 2-inch and four machine guns and two torpedo tubes. She carries 295 men. . The Rainbow is older and slower than any of the other fighting ships on the coast, but she posses a much heavier battery than either oi mounting two 6-inch guns, six 4.7-inch, eight 6-pounders, one 3-pounder and one light gun. she has also four torpedo tubes, o o o o o Kitchener Fought the Germans Before. Earl Kitchener, GreatBritain's war-lord, does not find himself opposed to German forces for the first time. While it is not generally^ known, it-has:often been stated by men well acquainted with the conqueror of the Mahd- ist hosts at Kartoum, that he served as a volunteer officer in the French army of 1870, while he was yet a cadet in the Royal Military Academy in England. It was at the close of the Franco-Prussian war that Horatio Herbert Kitchener, ayoung Irishman from Bally Longford in County Kerry, was commissioned second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers. Every : promotion from .the rank of subaltern to that of field marshal, Kitchener of Kartoum received for meritorious service. o o o o o An exchange declares that the pay of the Russian soldier is $3.78 per year and says that this may account for Russia's slow mobilization; Her soldiers may have been holding put for $4. ��������� "-'o . o ' o o o A Belgian soldier who "has taken a number of German prisoners says -he does not "heed a rifle.

A correspondent has asked us to explain the naval policy of the late government. We find it stated briefly by a writer in The Navy, the official publication of the Naval League, as follows: "The policy, of Sir Wilfrid Laurier was to commence by having built in Canada by British firms who would, undertake to establish branch yards there, a unit consisting of four cruisers of the "City" class (Bristols), six destroyers of improved "River class, and one cruiser (Boadi- cea class).

The ing steamer kills her big game: The ship is a small black steamer, less than ninety feet in length, with a tall, thin funnel and two masts. She is high-bowed, with much flare and so deep at the stern that her propeller leaves little foam on the troubled grey water. Her foremast carries a narrow white barrel, from which appears a man's shoulders and head, also a hand gesticulating, pointing at something out on the vacant sea. In the steamer's bows is a long platform carrying a short swivel cannon painted a dark red. From its muzzle protrudes a weapon pointed with a slim cast-iron shell and furnished with four-hinged barbs now folded against the shaft and tied down with a lashing of rope- yarn. Under the muzzle of the gun, and overhanging the stem, is a rope-pan or tray, bearing about fifty fathoms of three-inch cable, an end of which is fastened to a ring in the slotted shaft of the harpoon. And with his hand on the wooden handle with which the gun is turned on its swivel, stands a man whose entire attention is directed upon the sea ahead. Now and then with his free arm he signals to the stearsman in the iron box in front of the funnel and the steersman alters the vessel's course or talks into a speaking- tube at his side. The throbbing of thesteamer's steersman and winchman remain on the alert. At the end of that yellow cable fathoms below the grey surface of the sea, the vastest of created animals stricken sore, struggles and strains for dear life, but in vain. Old Sigurd, the pilot, congratulates Captain Anderson, the gunner, and skipper of the ship. "Quick work,"sayshe, "quick work. It is a long while since I saw such a bigfinhval (finwhale)' killed with one shot and so smartly. And he is a big one. See how the ship is down by the bow." For the whale has expired without coming once to the surface, and its carcase was now suspended some seventy fathoms below the steamer. "It was a good shot," the gunner-captain returned in his matter-of-fact way. "We were lucky to come on him so soon after losing that blaaval (blue whale) in the fog." All this happened about four o'clock on a July morning, near one of the whaling stations on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The big carcass was hoisted slowly and cautiously to the surface. When it broke water, the great flukes were cut from the tail and taken on board. The abdomen was inflated with air pumped through a hollow lance, the wound being afterwards SYNOPSIS OF COAL MINING REGULATIONS rOAL MINING RIGHTS of the Dominion, in ^ Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the y UKON TKJtRlTOUY, the NORTH-WEHT TEKIU- ���������roitiEH unci in a poriion of th<; Province of liuniBH OuLUMiiiA, may bo leuHed for u tenn of t w������*ntyH)ni: yearn at un annual rental of $1 an acre.

Not twenty fathoms ahead the surface of the sea parts; the huge head of a great grey creature appears and emits with a fizzing noise a tall, spreading cloud of grey vapor. The head sinks; out and up heaves the great shoulders and back. The gunner takes what seems to be an interminable aim at the streaming flank. At last his forefinger twitches. An orange flame spurts into the grey; a crash surprises the atmosphere, the little steamer shudders as if she had struck a rock, through the white smoke fly wads and whirling coils of hemp; and almost under the bows the sea boils and surges. The grey monster has gone. A dulled report comes up from the depths. There is a clank of iron gear as the cable flows from the winch and flies over the little wheel in the bow. The propellor thuds, the steamer begins to move astern. The gunner steps from the platform, but keeps an eye on the cable.

Mr. Robert Lowe, his travelling companion on his recent journey from the interior country also intends volunteering for active service in Europe. Mr. Lowe is a surveyor and his life spent mostly in the remote parts of the country has fitted him to withstand considerable hardships. We know that these two. men will do. honor to themselves and their country and they will carry with them our best.wishes and highest appreciation. Local farmers have all been busily engaged harvesting the second, crop of hay, which has all been gathered in excellent condition. The long spell of warm weather has worked - wonders with the garden crops of all kinds, and this year will see one of the best crops ever raised in this valley. l / Fishing for Cohoe salmon at the local cannery commenced last Monday and tri<2 catches duringthe week have been highly satisfactory. Arrangements are being made for a big pack and it is probable that the cannery will continue to operate to the middle of October this year. Fox Farm Established at Bella!Coola Sunday last witnessed the arrival of fourteen foxes ' which will form the nucleous of a fox farm which is to be established at this place. For some time past extensive preparations have been going on and the farm when completed will be thoroughly equipped in every respect. The fourteen foxes, including several pairs of the silver-grey variety, are already comfortably accomodated and seem to be taking well to their new surroundings. The immense success of this industry in Prince Edward Island has stimulated several people to essay the attempt to raise foxes in this province, and there is every reason to believe that British Columbia is as well suited for the purpose as the eastern Maritime provinces. Great interest is centered in the local fox farm and the proprietors have the best wishes of everyone in their enterprise.

Camosun last week was Mr. Chris Hansen, who returned to his ranch at Nahwitti. He intends,to further develop his very promising prospect on Iron Creek. : ���������We are informed that Mr. C. E.

Miss Gwen Pearce, of Fisherman's Cove, is busy with her, pre-emption. Miss Pearce, Miss Lily Vick and Miss Ethel Cox are the belles of Cape Scott dances, the latter is also an excellent elocutionist, her displays of the histrionic art being a feature of the local soirees. Mrs. R. F. Warren is still at Shushartie, but looks forward to attending the Cape Scott Fair in September. The North Island settlements have caught the war fever badly!. The very air is pregnant with war and the rumor of war. The souls of the young men are filled with unrest and in the case of a continuance of hostilities an exodus is to be expected this fall; It is the old story of the old call to youth whose blood is red. The romance lies mainly in the response, but the spirit is none the less to be commended. It is the general opinion that the local survey parties will be called in and all government work stop. The Idsardi survey camp will, in the course of a day or so, remove to Cape Commerell. 0 1 HOE ) C 30E ) C nor; R. B. JOHNSON LTD., Port Coquitlam, B. C.
