No improvement being shown for several days, it was deemed advisable to take him to Toronto, 'where he is now receiving treatment in hospital. Ottawa, Feb. 5.���������Hon. L. . P. Pelletier, postmaster - general, has announced in the House that the parcels post is to be put into effect on February 10th. Every post office will be a center of a local zone, and within a 20-mile,radius a special rate lower than the--provincial rates will apply. Each province is a zone, except the maritime provinces, which are combined inone. Within each province are the local zones surrounding each post office. The local zones are not interfered with by provincial boundaries. The cheaper rate in the local zone than in the provincial zone affords protection to the small merchant against his bigger competitor. The rates which will prevail within this local zone of 20 miles are: One pound, Scents; two pounds G cents ; three pounds, 7 cents ; four pounds, Scents; five pounds, 10 cents; six pounds, 12 cents. For the first six months nothing over six pounds will be accepted to avoid being swamped with business in the beginning. After that, up to eleven pounds will be carried, and the rates will be: Seven pounds, 14 cents, and 2 cents for each additional pound until the maximum of eleven pounds at 22 cents is reached. The postmaster-general and the railway companies have come to an agreement for the carriage of the parcels mail. of fur. The snowfall in the upper country has been exceedingly light this winter, and conditions have been very favorable for the trappers. There is every prospect of exceptionally large catches being brought to this place for sale in the spring.

This building will be ready for occupancy some time in April.

In spite of the strong and-repeated representations made to the road superintendent and also to Mr. Wm. Manson, M. P. P., in regard to the crossing at the Nootsatsum River, absolutely nothing has been done in regard to reconstructing the temporary bridge which saves travelling two or three miles of almost impassable road. The settlers have been fording the river with their teams at the old crossing, but when the river started to freeze up this became impossible, they then being forced to traverse the canyon road. This road was impassable for teams owing to numerous windfalls, it being eventually found necessary" to send the government team and men to clear it out fit for travel. . ' ' This matter has been fully explained to Mr. Manson on more than one occasion, and he seemed to think that the request of the settlers that the. temporary bridge should be repaired was both justified and reasonable. Indeed he expressed himself on the matter in a manner which left no doubt in the minds of his audience. Whatever the reason however, nothing has been done. Maybe this last fit of obstinacy on the part of the road-boss is the last flicker of a dying candle. One of our local readers informs us that he has received a letter from Miss Bremman, secretary of the B. C. Woman's Suffrage League, saying that Bella Coola is shortly to be favored with a visit from one of the lady speakers of that organization. The date of the visit is not yet fixed, but will be announced later in these columns.

The Executive Board of the Development League met at the Mackenzie School on Monday night, when several matters of importance was dealt with. The questions of a public burying ground, the clearing away of the brush piles from the streets in' the town, and the matter of a proper landing for small boats in connection with the wharf are each and all in the hands of the government. The Executive has once again appi*oached Mr. Manson in regard to the old Nootsatsum crossing, reporting that no effort has been made to meet the wishes of the people in the matter of the temporary bridge. The gasoline lights for the Mackenzie School are expected to arrive by the next steamer, when they will be at once installed. A grand entertainment is being, arranged to take place on the 25th inst, at the Mackenzie School.

Our Deep Sea Fisheries It has recently been stated'by a government' supporter in the" ' ' provincial legislature, that it would be a wise policy for. the government to give special attention to the question of de- . veloping the deep sea fishing industry on our coast." The principal reason why this industry has not flourished to any perceptible degree, is that we have not as yet a fishing popula- lation, as have for, instance, the . coasts of Scotland and Norway. We need the right, kind, of fisher-folk, who understand their business and can make good at. it. First, however, we must be sure, that we can offer conditions -that will be acceptable to them! The Jap must be eliminated. The newcomer is entitled to every consideration at the hands of the government and its officials, and at present he does not .get it, as we old ^ timers in this district know to our cost. We have numerous islands, some of them large and possessing good harbors.. Abundance of timber is available for fuel. Far. less" favorable are-the conditions in many places where the coast is .barren , and .practically devoid'of shelter from the storms of the Artie Ocean. Yet in just such places have sprung up good v sized townsand nourishing settlements, ��������� dependent entirely on deep sea fishing. . ' North of Queen Charlotte . Sound, we; have islands...some, of which are well adapted to sheep raising, others are suitable for cattle and mixed farming. These ��������� things would all tend towards 'making the lotof the fiisher-folk 'the easier and happier. Truly it is full time the government roused itself to some action . in regard, to the development of the deep'.sea, fisheries, and the settlement of the north-west Coast of the Province. More Pap for Mr. Matson. . Mr. W. H. Hay ward, M.P.P., asked in the House if any arrangement had been made for reporting the speeches of members of the legislature in the present session. Sir Richard McBride replied that arrangements had been made with the Victoria Colonist whereby any member could have In reply to a question by Parker Williams, M. P. P., the Hon. Price Ellison stated that during the 1912-13, there had been paid to the Victoria Colonist, the Vancouver News-Advertiser and others of Mr. Matson's papers, the sum of $37,233.03. Now, any person desirous of reading the speeches of members of the'legislature must perforce buy the Victoria Colonist. How many people have any desire to read the stereotyped utterances of these rubber stamp legislators we are not prepared to say, but we doubt if this latest graft will help the circulation of the Colonist to any great extent. o o o o o A Question of Veracity. _. ��������� A few days ago the Hon. R. Lemieux, ex-postmaster-general, speaking in the House of Commons on the labor conditions throughout Canada, said that at Vancouver there were' 17,000 persons unemployed. ��������� Mr. C. E. Tisdall, M.P.P., for Vancouver, -took occasion, from his seat in the legislature, to say that the statement'of the Hon. R. Lemieux was absolutely incorrect, and that-there were only in' the neighborhood of 2000 persons unemployed in Vancouver.'/' Mr. .Tisdall explained that the reason of so many people in Vancouver being without employment was the depression in the building trade and the mild climate which the city enjoyed. Vancouver has grown during the last six years at a very rapid rate, but, were it not for the erection of buildings provided for last year, is today practically at a standstill. . The building trade is directly connected with the lumber in- dustry of which Vancouver is the center for the whole province. When one considers the number of logging camps on the coast which today are closed down, and remembering that the men formerly employed at these camps practically all make for Vancouver where they were previously hired, and from where they would naturally hope to obtain employment again. When we consider the large percentage of Vancouver's 175,000 population who are connected with the lumber in dustry, then we may reasonably question the correctness of Mr. Tisdall's statement. If times were good, is it not likely that the mild climate would facilitate the operation of all the logging camps which are closed down? We cannot agree with Mr. Tisdall that the ambition of the working man is to starve in a mild climate. The Courier has authentic information to the effect that the trade condition among the wholesalers at Vancouver is not of the best. Probably were it not for the outlying portions of the Province, many of these large firms would behavingastrenuoustime. Again we fail to see any connection between this slackness of wholesale trade and Vancouver's mild climate. Mr. Tisdall's statement about there being only 2000 idle men in Vancouver, and that, only on account of the mild climate, sounds good enough for Hastings street gossip. It is not, however, the kind of thing one would expect to hear on the floor of the House from a gentleman of his experience. , ��������� o o o o o "Particularly In the North." We are informed by the Conservative press, that the estimated expenditure for the coming fiscal year may be $3,000,000 less than last year. We are also informed from the same reliable source, that "This does not mean that public works progress will be at all impaired, although some of the newly-projected works, such as new highways in the interior, PARTICULARLY IN THE NORTH, may have to be deferred until next year." - This is exactly what the Courier has long ago predicted. In our criticisms of the reckless and wasteful expenditure of money appropriated for public works, we simply wished to point out that the period of huge appropriations could not continue for ever. We were also quite aware that when a curtailment of expenditure was found necessary, such curtailment would be felt "particularly in the North" were votes are few. Not in the southern part of the province. One would naturally suppose that roads and trails are most required where they arc scarcest. The north is gradually becoming settled, and would rapidly become populated if the government would, allow it. But the seat of the government's strength is in the south, and that is where its sympathies, lie. The people- of Bella Coola recognize that, in- spite of heavy expenditure of public funds, the actual progress made on our roads has been hardly noticeable. They,have'voiced their opinion in several resolutions which have been forwarded to the government. They recognize that, as the Omineca Herald remarks, "the time has passed for slush." Slow to realize that they were being bought with their own money, they have at last awakened to a sense of their responsibility, and are no longer to be put off with bits of cheap talk from "all the petty larceny politicians who make up the smaller cogs of government machine." The Omineca Herald further remarks: "In fact thepeopleare beginning to break away from the steel grip of politics and are now doing things and thinking for themselves." This aptly applies to Bella Coola, and in spite of a prospective decrease in appropriations for public works, we see in it the beginning of an era of progress unprecedented in this valley. The people are demanding reforms. They have set their hand to the plow and commenced a new furrow, let them not turn back.

Mr. Townsend, the art editor of "Punch," is a curious instance of ambidexterity. His drawings are done with the left hand, but his Tetters are written with the right. He is left-handed as a billiard player, but right-handed as a card dealer. And when he plays cricket he is a left-handed bowler, but a right-handed batsman. When you have achieved such ambidexterity you might cut off your right hand without offence. Geoffrey K. Burnett D. J. McGugan C.E.. B.C.L.S., B.A.S.C.. B.C.L.3., ASS. M. CAN. SOC. C.E.

War-Dogs in Balkans. Dogs trained to guard a camp or a sentry-line were a regular adjunct last winter of the armies in Eastern Europe. At the siege of Adrianopie, according to Major Richardson, a British officer, who was an official observer of the war, the Bulgarians used dogs in front of their trenches at night, as a preventive against Turkish surprises, and with good results. The dogs were either put one or two hundred yards in front of the fortifications, or else were kept in roughly made kennels near the sentry posts. They were Albanian sheep dogs, whose ordinary work fitted them well for this duty, as they are accustomed to lie out at some distance from their flocks to protect them against wolves, and the shepherds trust them so completely that they go to sleep in the middle of the gathered sheep. Major Richardson saw them in the hands of the Greeks about Salonika, and learned that they were used by the Servians and by the irregular Macedonian bands. The Austrians have adopted these guards among their frontier forces in Bosnia, and the Russians use sheep dogs of their own in their army on the Armenian border; but the Turks did not employ them at all. Mrs. Homestopper: "Did you ever see a Hindu idol, Mr. Globe Trotter?" Mr. G. Trotter: "1 never saw 'em any other way. They're always idle." Dr. Michael Clark: "Have the farmers not the right to speak for their own industry? What is sacrosanct or holy about manufacturers, so called, that they should receive very much atten-j % tion from the Government and that no heed should be paid to j the plea of the farmers who are engaged in the most important; industry of all. I contend it is] f the right of the wheat growers to be the judges in this matter." Mr. J. H. Burnham, Conservative member for Peterborough: Canada is in clanger of becoming very materialistic. From one end of this country to the other we hear talk about free food, about dear food, about the high cost of living, and about the tango. _ That is all that is going on in the country now." Hon. W. T. White, Minister of Finance: "My own view is that free food means free trade." Hon. W. T. White: "So far as I know, there is no public opinion in favor of a revision of tariff at this particular time. As I said in the beginning of my speech, we have gone through a very trying period; a long-continued and severe depression. But the morning is now beginning to break; money is easier in the international centers, and that is the most hopeful sign today." Hon. Frank Oliver: "May I say Mr. Speaker, that the attitude of the Government in the two previous sessions was that of the ostrich that runs around in a circle, but this session it is that of the ostrich, which, having found no results from the circling process, sticks its head in the sands, and thereby hopes to protect itself and to discharge its duties. May I be pardoned if I suggest that the position is not graceful: it is not.creditable, and it is decidedly vulnerable." w >���������< { H ���������( ) K H t m M H e c II c c [ighland Liquor Co. z ��������� Sole agents for Arthur Bell & Sons' Famous Scotch Whiskey, Perth, Scotland.
