Italians Annihilate Crack Regiment Turin, August 4.-- The Austrian emperor's crack regiment the Kaiser jaegers, were nearly annihilated August 1, on the Carso plateau. The flower of the Austrian army was hurled against the Italian right wing in a determined effort to recapture Mount Seibusi, which dominates the plain. The Austrians faced the guns with magnificent courage, but were mowed down mercilessly almost to the last man. Turks Less Aggressive in Dardanelles London, Aug. 6.���������The situation in the Dardanelles on the front held by the Australian troops is excellent, although there has been continuous heavy fighting according to the British press representative on the Gal- lipoli Peninsula, he says: "The Turks, since their last repulse, have shown much less aggressiveness, seemingly more content to sit in the trenches than to attempt an offensive movement. Bomb throwing and mining are now the chief methods of warfare. The troops being kept occupied constantly in the building of trenches, which fall away rapidly owing to the soft sandy soil.* Heavy Turkish reinforcements are being brought into advanced positions, showing that the Turks realize the importance of holding back any further attempts of the Allies to encroach on the peninsula.

The Remington Arms Plants Not for Sale No Amount of Money Could-Buy * .. . .... New York, August 5. -During the last few days there have been persistent rumors to the effect that Germany was seeking to purchase American ammunition making plants, not so much on account of any shortage of ammunition for its own armies, as with a view to putting an end to the tremendous shipments which are going forward to the Allies. The Remington Anns-Union Metallic Cartridge Company and the Bethlehem Steel Company have both been specifically named as objective points of the German efforts. Mr. Samuel V. Pryor, vice- president and general manager of the Remington-Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge Company, says that no amount of money which anybody might offer, would induce the owner's to dispose of the plants. Jottings of Bella Coola and District Our special correspondent attends a wedding. Beautifully decorated for. the occasion by lady friends of the bride, was the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Christenson, where a pretty wedding took place last Saturday evening, when Mr. Evan Oien was united in marriage to Miss Mary Mitchell of Hagensborg. The bride, wearing a white wedding dress adorned with orange blossoms and carrying a shower bouquet of bridal roses, was attended by Miss Louise Schulstad, gowned i n white, carrying a bunch of pink flowers. The groom was attended by Mr. W. H. MacKay. Rev. T. C. Col- well was the officiating clergyman and Miss Ruth Nordschow presided at the piano. The house was filled to an overflow of invited guests who gathered to do honor to the bride and groom, and after the ceremony was over partook of a sumptuous-wedding lunch.

Walter Ratcliff, after the,completion of the work on the wagon road at Stewy, of which he has been the foreman, came to town last week on business. The fishing for sockeye salmon came to an end last Monday. We regret to state that it did not prove as good as expected at the beginning of the season. The fishermen will now enjoy a rest from their labors for about two weeks when they will begin catching cohoes. The run of sockeye salmon at Kimsquit was almost a total failure. The fishermen in some instances have not caught sufficient salmon to bring them out of debt at the company's store. Mr. B. Norton, our photographer, in his peaceable pursuit of views, has on several occasions this summer met bruin in his native fastnesses. The bear seems disinclined to have his picture taken, as he goes into hiding as soon as Mr. Norton approaches.

SATURDAY, AUG. 7, 1915. The Gun Fund. , " As long as the war is carried on the most vital thing to be done is to carry on the fight so that we may win. Everything that we do- in these times .should have this supreme object in view.. It is a life and death struggle for freedom and the sooner we realize this the better for us. We will never conquer our enemy unless we have as many and as well equipped men as he. It is no use for us to rely on the soldiers of. the Allies showing mdre bravery and more endurance than/ the foe.. - In these. qualities, which make for good soldiers, all the forces engaged in the war may, for*all .practical purposes, be regarded as equal irrespective of nationality. We may rely on being able to outnumber our foe in the long Conserve the Food Supply. The season for the fishing of sockeyes is now over and it has proved to be very poor as compared with former years, both here and at Kimsquit. After many years experience in the cannery.business at Bella Coola the manager of the local cannery expresses the belief that the run of .sockeye salmon in this inlet is diminishing and that in a few years it will have, ceased almost altogether. . This is certainly a situation that is not' very cheering either as to this place or the province, and it seems to us that a remedy ought to be found.' Great amounts, of money are being spent every year for salaries toT'officials whose sole ��������� business it is to devise means by whichsuch a state of affairs can be avoided; but as'far as it can be learned, nothing has been done for the conservation of the salmon at this particular place,, beyond the patrolling of ' the grounds to enforce the observance of the close season and the spasmodic clearing of obstructions from the streams to facilitate the passing of the salmon.. These remedies have'proved insufficient to prevent the depletion of the salmon. It ought not.to need a great many highly salaried officials to supervise that sort of work. But yet we have several such, both JjAlNS NO but also put their theories into practice. - We certainly own to being impatient with the dilatoriness of the powers that be in setting forces in motion to promote the welfare of the land. \ Hatcheries ought to built at the head of all o the fishing grounds. The enemies of the salmon should be bunted and destroyed, and not protected as is the case now. It is not likely that this article will be read, -much less heeded by those whose duty it should be to remedythe evil pointed out; but we would submit to those injured by this state of affairs, such as the cannery operators and fishermen, to unite in a petition or some other action by which pressure be brought to bear on the proper authorities to induce them to take steps to conserve this important industry and food supply. run, but even overwhelming superiority in numbers is of little Provincial and Dominion, there- avail if our equipment is inferior Heretofore our forces have not had equipment as good as the enemy, and that being the case it is only a delusion or a reliance on some happy turn of affairs to believe that we shall be able to win in any reasonable length of time. And the longer the war is prolonged, the more men will be killed and disabled. If we are going to be successful in this fight against great odds, such as superior munitions of war, we all must do our "little bit. . Some authorities suggest 'it must be a war of attrition or exhaustion; a war that will wear out the enemy; but that is a rule that will work both ways. It is imperatively our duty to give our soldiers the most modern and efficient weapons, and in this war they have been found to be artillery and machine guns. We are glad to note that all Canada is roused on this subject. Communities throughout the Dominion are at work collecting money ���������for the purchase of machine gans. Remember this; the Germans have four times as many as the Allies, i Therefore a great many machine guns must be furnished our soldiers. Bella Coola cannot be behindhand in doing its duty. Weought to furnish one machine gun, and we can easily do it if we all join in. Our experience with the spirit of Bella Coola warrants us in believing that this will be done in suits of whose activities are not discernable to the naked eye. After ostensibly studying the salmon for a great number of years they should .by this time have discovered means of destroying its enemies and otherwise devised plans for the conservation of this valuable food fish; and not only devise means, The Fair at Prince Rupert. Every resident and property owner in Northern British Columbia should .take active interest in the Exhibition to be held' at Prince Rupert, September 22,' 23 and 24. It is a fact which no one will dispute that the northern part of our province is yet in its infancy as far as development is concerned. It is further conceded that the district contains immense wealth, that awaits the hands and brains of. the intelligent and industrous to become available for the use of man kin d. But these resources will be dormant unless/the attention of the world is called to them. And right. here is where the exhibi- tion at Prince Rupert becomes a factor of great value to the district. It will demonstrate beyond dispute what the country contains and what it can produce and thus advertise its resources. The management deserves credit for the courage and energy it displays in endeavoring to make the exhibition attractive and representative of our varied resources, and it should be our duty to co-operate in this work and it will be found that this work shall not be in vain, but will be well rewarded. The district's chief sources of wealth, such as agriculture, mining and fisheries, will be the prominent features of the fair; but there will also be various other attractions in the way of sports and contests, and those who are so fortunate as to be able to witness all and take part, will find it time well spent. We call attention to the fair at this time because it is very desirable that Bella Coola should be well represented in its exhibits. Bella Coola can boast of soil and climatic conditions unsurpassed in the district and probably in the province, and should not be afraid to send her products in comparison to those of other communities, and former experience has proven that Bella Coola can carry off her share.,of prizes. We again call the attention of the executive of the Farmers'. Institute to this matter for its- earliest consideration. A survey of the crops of the valley should' be made, and the farmers encouraged and aided in making' selections of cereals, fruit, roots and potatoes* for exhibition purposes. Let us help to boost our part of the province. N Alberta is Sane. Smith, ., -iair & Co. Ltd VANCOUVER, B. C.

We are heavily in debt and would like to become more so. Australia is engaged in war also, but she does not scour the money markets for loans. It is refreshing to read the following news item from Melbourne: "The house of representatives today passed a measure providing $100,000,000 war loan to Great Britain." If. British Columbia in her pride and exuberance of youthful'spirit had been willing to pursue the administration of her affairs in a less spectacular manner, we believe she could at the present time been put of debt, and snapped her fingers, so to speak, at the money markets of the world. It is to be hoped that the approaching provincial election^will bring men to the helm that will have the courage, ability and patriotism to so cut down the expenditures that they will be within the income. If that can be accomplished, these hard times may prove a blessing in disguise. ,j.

VANCOUVER -i Always have Nabob Jelly Powder Lest We Forget. On the fourth of this month it was one year since Great Britain declared war on Germany. It was conceived the properthing to commemorate this great event by public demonstrations in every village, town and city throughout the Empire. In order to give effect to a movement for such purpose a committee was organized in London, with such men as Premier Asquith, Lord Rose- berry and Mr. Arthur Balfour at its head. Bella Coola although as patri otic as any other community ir. the Empire did not recognize the day by any public function. It is well, however, to recapitulate the immediate events that led up to the war lest we forget. Prmzip's crime was committed on June 28. An investigation disclosed what was alleged to be proof that the assassin was the tool of a group of Serbians. On July 23, after considerable correspondence and negotiations, an ultimatum was sent to Serbia by the Austro-Hungarian .government- The terms of this ultimatum were intolerable to the self respect of an independent state, but on the advice of Russia, Serbia went so far as to accept in their entirety all but one of the Austrian demands, this being that Austrian officials should be given a part in the Serbian internal administration of justice and police. Serbia further offered to submit this last demand to arbitration. It is now known that on July 24, Germany began a secret mobilization of herforces. Russia sought to come to an understanding with- Austria, but Berlin stood resolutely in the way of a peaceful settlement, and beyond question was determined to make of the petty Serbian affair an excuse for a general war of agression. Austria mobilized, avowedly against Serbia, but on a scale that roused the suspicion of Russia, who then mobilized only those military districts contiguous to the Austrian frontier, giving Berlin assurances to that effect. Nevertheless, Germany seized the pretext to declare war on Russia. The news of that event j was followed in a few hours by the announcement that a general mobilization had been ordered by the French cabinet. On August 2, German troops entered Luxembourg, and Germany demanded free passage through Belgium to the French frontier. This was refused, and two days later Great Britain dispatched to Germany an ultimatum demanding that the neutrality of Belgium be maintained. The ultimatum rejected, German forces attacked Liege, and as early as August 2, German troops had crossed both the Belgian and French frontiers. The following day saw the declaration by Great Britain of a state of war with Germany, and two days later the French invaded southern Alsace.

Great Disasters. , The tragedy of this war is so great that what in other times would be called overwhelming ealamaties sink into insignificance in comparison. On one day the wires brought the news that 1200 lives had been lost in the Chicago harbor, and also that 175,000 people had perished in a flood in China. B.

What the War Office doesn't know about advertising for recruits can be learned in a railway journey in South London. At the back of his house, where trains are passing all day long, a resident has hung up two old petticoats. Apparently this advertising expert feels that he has done his bit, for accompanying the petticoats is this startling announcement: "If you won't help your King and country now you had better wear these." 3E TheMason & RischPl tano of to-day will make plain our prioilcge lo state with authority: "NO FINER PIANO MADE!"

Bella Coola farmers are independent', they are strangers to hard times. "THE REASONS for this enviable cohdi- ���������*- 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. T>ELLA 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. ] c 1 The Best Known and Popular Lubricant for Motor Boats Its use assures freedom from Carbon deposit on valves, spark plugs, or in cylinders IMPERIAL OIL CO.

Isolation of Crops. Following details of the rotations that are outlined is a summary of the characteristics common to all: Grain fields are always seeded down with clover, even though it be only used as a fertilizer. . Grass and clover seedings are heavy. Increased crops of hay and rare failures of a catch have justified'them. - Hoed crops form a large proportion of every rotation. An attempt to farm a small area without a hoed crop was not successful. Weeds could not readily be kept in jcheck. No field is left in hay for more than two successive years. The records show that the crop almost always costs more per ton than the first, and that succeeding crops are liable to be produced at a loss. Barnyard manure is preferably applied lYcquenUy in' comparatively small quantities, rather than at long intervals in large quantities. Government Experimental Plot at Bella Coola. A. H.

At the plot some splendid onions, spring sown, were seen. Gregory's strain of yellow Dan- ver doing well. Theredstooare good. Only a few scallions(big necks) exist.

These sorts are recommended to farmers. Corn. This is a crop which Bella Coola farmers have become most interested in. Last year off the plot, Golden Nugget, Squaw and Malcolm did exceed- c ingly well. Mr. Hammer, secretary of the Farmers' Institute, had splendid success with Squaw variety.- Thisseason/manynew varieties are.being tried at the plot. Whilst most farmers are growing corn.- At present we find, as well as -last year's successful varieties, Red Squaw (C. E. F., Ottawa,) promising a good yield.' Farmers, save your earliest and best cods for seed ! At the plot we are not having best results from our own saved seed, but Mr. Hammer is, however, with his. We must stay with this. Later on, no doubt, local saved seed will give best results. Grasses. Experiments here show us that the popular variety, Timothy, is most successful. Whilsc for the heavier lands, Meadow Fescue, Cocksfoot, Indian Rye, do well. For dry or light soils the Bromus inermis does the, best, giving splendid yields of hay. It is a very tenacious variety. The Japanese millet on the plot is growing nicely, but needs to be sown early for best results. Clovers. Red, Alsike, White Dutch and the^Crimson (annual) varieties have ^11 done well. The first three came through the winter in fine condition. It is wise to leave a good aftermath for-winter protection. Tn'some parts of the valley red clover has been killed put.���������'���������' This crop needs to be grown on well-drained land for best results. FARMERS SAVING THEIR OWN SEED. Hitherto much of our farm seeds come from Europe. This war causes us to look to our own immediate resources for the future supply of farm seeds. Every farmer who has a good strain of roots, vegetables, grass or potatoes, should endeavor to select certain specimens for seed and continue to plant and select from the same. Annual varieties as peas, Leans, etc., seed must be'harvested the first year. Biennials as carrots, turnips, mangolds are harvested the second. Thus the roots must be taken up carefully, not broken and the foliage not cut too closely. Roots must be stored away from frost and planted the following spring in good soil. The seed must be. harvested when ripe and stored away, from mice and. dampness. THE FARMERS AIM. These days,bring Canadian farmers and citizens generally to the point of making the best use of the land in increasing the quantity of produce. Canada must soon reach the stage when all possible products must be grown at home and not imported. This may be furthered by farmers co-operating, using the Institute as a "means in growing, buying, selling and marketing. During the forthcoming winter months I hope again to take up these matters with the members of the Farmers' Institute and endeavor to arrive at some definite policy. Bella Coola has the people and the land" to bring about results in agriculture which should be worth while.
