Family Perishes In An Avalanche Husband/Wife and Young Son Buried in Tons of Snow Valdez, Alaska, Feb. 26���������Three persons have been killed in a huge snowslide in the north end. of Keystone Canyon. Mr. and Mrs. Borgland and young son were caught under tons of snow, while Corporal J. P. Simmons and a party.of four signal service men who were headed for Thompson's Pass to investigate wire trouble, narrowly escaped death. A relief party made up of fifty men and led by Lieut. Dougherty, commanding the signal corps in the first section, started out as soon as the news of the accident reached town. The Borgland family, with their horses and outfit' were completely covered, and the signal service men came dangerously near being covered with the avalanche. One man was partly buried, but quick work on the part of the others saved his life. Three horses were lost. Lieut. Dougherty's relief party includes a doctor. Irish Situation Regarded As Very Grave Nation Drawing Near to An Unspeakable Calamity- Says London Times BASKET SOCIAL AND CONCERT AT HAGENSBORG " London, Feb. 27.���������The Times in an editorial on the Irish question, strikes the following grave note: "The speeches of Mr. Arthur J. Balfour and of Sir Edward Carson in the city yesterday, and the letter: from Sir Frederick even yet, is but beginning to think it possible. "It has become the first duty, of all who realize what that catastrophe means, and how close to us it is, to warn the public to fix their thoughts upon this one issue without being diverted from it Harrison warning the Premier by minor questions which arise that he is heading straight for a collision, must deepen the growing senseof thoughtful men that we have entered upon a crisis without a parallel in our history since the days of the Long Parliament. They warn us how near we are drawing to a calamity s6> unspeakable that the nation, from day to day. Important though many of these may be in themselves, they sink into insignificance compared with the menace which' has arisen to our civil peace. Time, it must be borne in mind, is the essence of peaceful settlement and time is fast running out." Jottings of Bella Coola and District Joe Martin Put Radicals In Hole "No Naval Manoeuvres British Admiralty Economical--The Saving Will Be Half a Million Pounds || London, Feb. 26. The London ���������$Daily Mail states, "upon high " authority," that there will be no British naval manoeuvres this year. An outlay of ������500,000 will thus be saved. It is the first occasion since .1907 that the manoeuvres have been suppressed from motives of economy. The reason for the abandonment is said to be that nothing new can be learned from fresh manoeuvres. The government, it is stated, considers that all that is necessary was learned from last year's exercises. The result of the 1913 manoeuvres was never made known to the public. The Daily Mail says that the decision is more extraordinary because, last year, the manoeuvres showed that the British plans of defence were faulty. Lord Herbert stated that they revealed the fact that a considerable force might be landed on the British coast. Locked His Club Building and Took Key to Canadian West Montreal, Feb. 26.��������� When "Fighting Joe" Martin, M. P. for St. Pancras East in the Imperial Parliament, got into bad odor with the Radicals for having voted against the white-washing resolution in the Marconi charges he saw his way of putting some of the Radicals to inconvenience, according to a statement by Mr. O'Hara Baynes, who has just returned from a two years' so- jurn in England. It appears that Mr. Martin owns the party club building in his riding and after declining to resign, he locked the place up and carried off the key to Vancouver, leaving the Radicals out in the cold. They did, however, get possession of the old horse and wagon used by the spellbinders in the division, and before using it again they painted the outfit a new color. Joe Martin has, says Mr. Baynes, a good following, and declares that he will run again . C.N.R. Seeking Big Loan Ottawa, Feb. 26.-The chief topic of interest here, is the report of an application by the Canadian' Northern Railway for a loan of $25,000,000. It is realized that if the government accedes to the request of the C. N. R. for a loan, there is certain to be strong opposition in the House. SS. Camosun arrived on Sunday morning with the usual large, consignment of freight for this port. The list of passengers for this port included Miss Ruth Nordschow ; Messrs. E. Frank, Geo. Dagg. D. H. Hoage,, J. H. Disney, J. Jorgenson, Reg. Hill, and Col. Lindsell. Miss Nordschow returns from visiting friends in Vancouver. Mr. Frank, of Vancouver, is in town on business connected with the proposed erection of a new hotel in the town. Mr. Geo. Dagg of Vancouver, a former resident of this place, is here with surveyors, subdividing into lots a piece of his property which adjoins the town, lying to the west side of the Necleetsconnay River. Mr. Hoage returns after a visit to Victoria and Seattle. During his absence from the valley Mr. Hoage attended the Farmers' Institute Convention at Victoria as delegate from Bella Coola. Mr. Reg Hill, well known on this part of the coast, as head net-man at the Bella Coola Cannery arrived by last Sunday's steamer. Mr. Hill has held his position at the local cannery for a number of years, and his return this year will be welcomed by his many friends in the valley. Mr. L. Raynham left for Vancouver on the last south bound steamer. It is probable that he will return with his family in the course of a few weeks. Congratulations to the principal of our town school, Mr. C. S. Brown, are strictly in order. the Upper Valley. They report having enjoyed some fine fishing, Mr. Anderson succeeded in land- a fourteen pound Dolly Varden trout. " Rev. T. C. Colwell returned on Tuesday from a visit to the Crossing and will conduct service next Sunday evening as usual. , Mr. Ben May of Namu and Bella Bella visited^town during the week on his way to Vancouver. The local Conservatives met at the Mackenzie School on Saturday last. The chief business of the meeting was the election of a secretary in place of Mr. G. Lindsell whose change of residence to the Upper. Valley necessitated his resignation. The nominees for the position were Mr. Frank Robinson and Mr. R. A. Teebay, the vote of the meeting deciding in favor of the former. The president, Mr. S. Le C. Grant, spoke on the recent convention to which he was a delegate. __________ The meeting of the Farmers' Institute which was to have been held at the Colony Hall, Hagensborg, on Thursday last, was postponed on account of the inclemency of the weather. The meethigwill take place on Thursday of next week at the same time and place. Ladies are requested to assist by bringing refreshments which will be served at the close of the meeting. The concert to be given by- Miss Muriel Fonceca and billed for last Thursday evening was The large audience which attended the basket social and concert held at the Colony Hall, Hagensborg, on the evening of the 21st were treated to an evening's entertainment, the excellence of which has seldom been approached in this locality. The program was lengthy and varied. The several items, vocal and elocutionary, by the children were all very cleverly performed, and reflected great credit on Miss Pecknold by whom they had been carefully trained. Instrumental selections by Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Jacobsen, Mr. A. Crichton and Miss Fonceca, harp, guitar, cello and piano, were greatly appreciated and elicited much well-deserved applause. Miss Fonceca's well trained contralto voice was heard to splendid advantage in "Where My Caravan Has Rested" and Absent." The Lower Bella Coola choir with two very pleasing renderings, Mrs. S. Grant, solo-pianoforte, and Miss Pecknold with her well known talent as an elocutionist, completed a very high class and enjoyable program. The auction sale of baskets occasioned considerable amusement and high prices were the ordetv resulting in a very substantial sum being raised for the purpose of making improvements to the Lower Bella Coola School- house. Refreshments were served towards the close of the evening, after which the audience dispersed, pleased and proud at the knowledge that Bella Coola possessed such a galaxy of talent as had been heard that evening. W. C. T. U. On Wednesday afternoon of this week a general meeting of the members of the W. C. T. U. was held at the home of Mrs. ���������B. F. Jacobsen. A large number of the ladies were in attendance. Mrs. I. Fougner ably presided with Mrs. J. Morrison as secretary. The meeting was opened with singing, prayer and scripture reading, followed by the business of the afternoon. The discussions were hearty and evidenced a growing interest in temperance and social work. Communications from Victoria were read in appreciation of the w6rk of the organization in connection with the rescue work department of which Mrs. J. Clayton is convenor. A short program was rendered at the close of the business, Miss Fonceca favoring the gathering with instrumental and vocal solos. Rev. Sageng spoke on appreciation of the efforts of the ladies in their noble work. The meeting was closed with the benediction. An enjoyable lunch was afterwards served by Mrs. Jacobsen, who throughout formed a kindly hostess. B. C. A. A. INDULGE IN BASKET-BALL Hagensborgers Show Improved Form.

A large gathering, representative of the whole valley, convened at Hagensborg on the evening of 19th to witness one of the best basket-ball games of the season. The opposing teams being Hagensborg and Bella Coola. The former team captained by Gunner Saugstad showed much improved form, and although defeated fought strenuously throughout. T. Jacobsen made an impartial referee. The winter's series of games would suggest that the players would do well to avoid rough play as far as possible. The teams lined up as follows: Hagensborg���������center, O. Gordon (half time,) J. Hoage; guards/ I. Nygaard, R. Swenson; forwards, G. Saugstad (captain,) P. Oveson. Bella Coola���������center, V. Clayton (captain) ; guards, 0. Fosbak, T. Levelton; forwards, F. Grant, E. Grant. After the game a lunch was served. The hall is now lined up to a height of eight feet, which will be a great improvement for-future games, besides j reducing the chance of accident to a mimimum. The new benches for the grand stand add much to the comfort of the spectators.

The Elections Act Under the terms of,Bill 17, an act to amend,the provincial elections act, introduced by Hon. W. H. Bowser, the electors are divided into two classes, namely, British-born and naturalized British subjects. . While the amendment does not seem to affect the former class in any way, its effect upon the latter seems to be very considerable, and requires some explanation. In making application to be placed on the voters' list a naturalized British subject is required ' to attach his certificate of naturalization to his application form as well as to swear that he is a , British_s^ubject.__ v ."..; ��������� "Hitfierto, it has been sufficient that the applicant swears that he is a British subject, and as false swearing carries with it a penalty of fourteen years imprisonment,, it might almost be considered sufficient. It must be remembered that the sworn statement of any of these naturalized British subjects would be accepted in any court, even to the taking away of a human life. Yet his sworn word is not sufficient to obtain for himself a vote. Section 36 of the Act respecting Naturalization and Aliens reads thus: "If the father, or the mother being a widow, has obtained a certificate of naturalization within Canada every child of such father or mother who, during infancy, has become resi: dent with such father or mother within Canada, shall, within Canada, be deemed a naturalized British subject." It will be seen from this, that by the terms' of Mr. Bowser's new act such persons are not entitled to have their names placed on the voters' list Being classed as naturalized British subjects, such persons are required to attach their certificates of naturalization to their application forms, but there appears to be no means whereby tHey can obtain the certificate of naturalization which Mr. Bowser's act calls for. Such persons are deemed to be naturalized British subjects and have therefore no need to seek a certificate of naturalization. There are other points in regard to this piece of freak legislation which are anything but clear to the average mind, but we feel that the foregoing is perhaps the most important from a local stand-point. The rising generation in Bella Coola Valley are chiefly naturalized British subjects as described in the section of the naturalization act heretofore quoted, and it will doubtless be a matter of grave concern to them how to become possessed of the franchise. There are many in the valley who have voted under the aforementioned clause in the act, what course is open to them under the terms of Mr. Bowser's Bill 17 we are not able todiscern. This would appear to be a case were the attorney-general might well have profited by the advice of Mr. Parker Williams, "Stop- think���������have you left anything behind?" In case a naturalized British subject has lost or mislaid his certificate, Mr. Bowser's bill provides for the use of' certified copies. Such copies are to be certified by the secretary of state for Canada, or by the clerk, registrar or judge of the court granting such certificates, and to be under the seal of such court. It ,must be mentioned in justice to Mr. William Manson, M. P. P., that, the fee to be paid for such certified copies is reduced from $1.00 to 25 cents. This is the amount which Mr. Bowserautho- rizes the secretary of-state for Oanada, as well as other court officials throughout the British Empire to charge for issuing a certified copy of a naturalization certificate. It does not seem to have occured to Mr. Bowser or Mr. Man- son that such officials (outside of British Columbia) mayhave their own ideas as to the amount they should charge. Imagine a person, naturalized outside the province, making application to a judge in India or Great Britain" or any other part of the Empire for a copy of his naturalization certificate and tendering 25 cents therefor. Is it to be supposed he would get it? The idea is absurd on the face of it. This so-called amendment-is intended to cater to the vote of the British-born by 'attempting to putthem -in a class superior to that of the naturalized British subject. .. It is contrary to every principle' of British justice and square- dealing. Naturalized Twitted by the Premier as to what'either he or Mr. Place had done for the labor element in the Province, Mr. Parker Williams replied as follows:! "Either one of us has a standing offer to any. member of this house to meet us oh a .public platform in joint debate. It is a standing challenge. But none of you will avail yourselves of the opportunity. Take it up and we'll see how much this government has done 'for the workingmen of British Columbia." What an opportunity for the member ������or Skeena to distinguish himself.' OPPORTUNITY By C. A. British, subjects the province over should at once obtain their certificates of naturalization, and make sure that they are possessed pf the power to deal retribution to the administration which has shown such rank discrimination. o o o o o The attorney-general was much displeased when Mr. Williams referred to him as a ' 'fifteen-cent tin-pot imitation of Napoleon." Well, no one likes to be made to appear too cheap. The member for Newcastle wants more details in regard to provincial expenditure. It is not difficult to .understand "what Mr. Williams means. For instance, in the list of expenditure for roads, streets; bridges and wharves for the Skeena district, appears an ite'm Pay-lists���������labor and team work, $244,680. There is nothing to.show to whom this money was paid or for what actual service. Another item is "Sundry-persons���������labor and team work $7,- 804. As to who the "sundry- persons" are or what actual services they rendered, the public have no information. Our expenditure for the current year is within $2,000,000 of being equal to the combined outlay of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, which have a population of nearly five millions. Yet in these provinces, the public accounts set forth the details of every large item. We are quite aware that it will cost more to issue a comprehensive report, but we consider it not improbable that the shrinkage in the figures given for labor and team work, would more than make up the difference. ��������� It is worthy of note, that Chairman Lucas estimates the per capita expenditure of this province at $20.88 against $3.81 for Ontario.

When a.man places his bubble of greatness on exhibition there is always somebody who wants to stick a pin it. PROJECTED ROUTE OF THE PACIFIC & HUDSON BAY RAILWAY. In a recent issue of the Courier, apparently in a spirit of disgust with present conditions in connection with public works, it was suggested that contracting would be preferable to day labor on public work. While it is admitted that contractors generally purchase supplies more favorably and to some extent get better work ,from their men, the public seldom get the benefits of them. The real trouble lies deeper than the particular method of carrying out the work. It is generally admitted that money raised, or contributed from other than some direct form of taxation will not receive close public scrutiny in its expenditure. If we 'add to this by placing responsibility and supervision with those not directly interested in results, we invite a serious condition of affairs. At Surf Inlet, Princess Royal Island, there are several promising groups of mining properties. Considerable development work has been done, with good pros- pectof making this alarge mining camp, in the near future. Three years ago the Dominion government were asked to build a wharf at the head of the Inlet. The sight being favorable it was estimated that about $5000 would erect a substantial structure, suitable for handling machinery, etc., over. This money was provided by the Laurier government and the contract under which, it was built a year ago was let by the present government Six months ago' it was reported to the Department at Prince Rupert that this wharf was in a "dangerous condition. Nothing being done, it collapsed while passengers were being landed over it, throwing three men into the water.. Good fortune alone prevented- a serious accident This wharf showed rather conclusive evidence of piling not properly driven or braced, and was not a fair piece of work for contract price. At Hartley Bay a larger and more substantial wharf in every respect was built on a vote of $1500 from the Indian department In this latter case, those responsible were more interested in the usefulness of the wharf than any profit, or soft job possible on construction work.

An illustration of what 'the people can and will do when given the power, occured during the past year in the municipality of Saanich. A minority in the council, led by Councilman McGregor, opposed what they considered a bad road building and paving contract and succeeded in landingamiserablego-between jn jail for an attempt at bribery. As the Provincial government were contributing $100,000 towards the work they were asked to investigate the contract. A hearing was arranged, notice of of which was mailed to those opposing the contract, such notice being received after the hearing was over.
