He reports that Donald Mc- Crimmon, a young man 19 years old engaged at Namu, lost his life by drowning on January 15th while out skating on the lake. Geo.

But I have got no farther than Washington yet. While visiting my folks here my brother, who lives at Parkland, nearTacoma, persuaded me to come and stay with him. Parkland is an idea] place for one to spend his vacation. And the.weather has been very pleasant with no snow and hardly and hardly any frost yet. The Pacific Lutheran Academy is situated at this place. My impression of this college is the very best and I think that people would do well to send their boys and girls to this school. As I have made it a point to visit the Academy every day since I came down, listening to lectures and reviewing my oldtime school- work. I think I can speak with a certain knowledge of the matter. How long I will stay here at Parkland before I go farther South I can not say at the present time. In fact, I like this place so well that I may not go down to California before late in the spring.

If i,t were not because the people of civilized countries through familiarity with its criminal practices had become inured or calloused in their feel- ings as regards the liquor traffic- it would have been outlawed long before this, not only because of the evil effects of the wares it ��������� offers'for sale, but, rather, because of its constant evasion and violation of the laws of the land. No other business would be tolerated for any length of time which so persistently as the liquor traf- "fic has done, to defy law and order. Not only when war is waged upon it does it resort to lawlessness, but it pursues its criminal course, if possible, more steadily when unmolested. It was thought that British: Columbia in rolling up a majority of nearly six thousand against the continuation of the traffic in the last election would have settled its fate for all time; but i i such does not seem to be assured yet. The taking of the soldier vote in England and France gave the traffic a last opportunity in' the contest to follow its usual practise of defying the will of the people by corrupting the ballot box; which is the very foundation of a self-governing nation. Details of the voting taking place during the month of December show some extraordinary results. The Act, authorizing the election held overseas, provides that scrutineers should be present at the polls; This provision has been ignored in many instances, in camps, hospitals and other places which, during the autumn, were thoroughly canvassed in accordance with the Act and only some hundreds of votes were cast, in the month of December the same camps were again canvassed, but this time without any supervision or scrutinizing with the result that.thousandsof votes were gathered. We give just one illustration to show how this latter method worked out; ' . At the Epsom Convalescent Hospital, accommodating 2700 Canadians, there were properly polled in September,^ votes; in November, 89 votes, both scrutinized by proper officials, but in December, at the same hospital by unscrutinized officials, there were polled 1104 votes. The Order-in-Council passed by the present government requiring identification of soldiers at the polls was entirely ignored. The government and people of this province will not tolerate anyone to nullify the mandate of "the people and a searching investigation must be held and we have no doubt of the result. Bold Expressions. Those who have any knowledge of the German people will admit the fact that they are of the most patriotic in the world. This war,has demonstrated that they,' - although of a proud disposition, are willing to suffer almost any distress on behalf of the beloved "vaterland" (fatherland). And their faith in their rulers has, heretofore, been unquestioned: They have had full confidence in the oft repeated assertion by the authorities that the war was forced upon their land by jealous neighbors, who are bent upon utterly destroying them as a natron. Bat as the weary days are dragging on and being prolonged into months and years the strain begins to tell upon their high courage and devotion. This w.inter is especially severe upon all classes; food is scarce and very high, some necessaries such as fats are practically unobtainable, at least in adequate quantities, and now it seems that actual famine ,is approaching. The supply of a bare necessity such'' as potatoes for instance, which in the nature of things ought to be comparatively plenti- ful, is so low that the weekly ration is being cut down from five to three pounds'. ��������� The confidence of the people of GILLETTS LYE EATS DIRT" ''"Ml ttroM oPumo-ruiL Dilution ifus' " ������9 TORONTO ONT. t strength is being weakened by the inroads of starvation or lack of proper and sufficient nourishment and the unexpected prolongation of the war with its enormous sacrifices. Riotings and disorders, the news of which are persistently leaking out in spite of strict official precaution, indicate the growing discontent, and' now it is learned that a pamphlet entitled: "The only way out," published in Munich, South Germany, boldly asserts that defeat is certain. It points out that the war-worn forces of Hinden burg have been inert a long time and still have before them the vast stretches of the Russian Empire. The pamphlet goes on to say: "Germany cries: We will fight till the last man and when no more men are left we will enroll women; but the people themselves are convinced that no manoeuvre of this sort can avert ultimate defeat, which at this moment is mathematically certain.", It adds: "With the disappearance of the Hohervzollerns it will'become possible for Germany to establish and cement . A Swiss newspaper, The Zurich Volksrecht, says that the document voices the state of opinion very widely'in Bavaria and almost everywhere in southern Germany, bo th in influential middle-class circles and among the lower orders. This being a fair sample of the state of affairs throughout the land it is not surprising that peace proposals are applauded and supported in all German circles both in United States and Europe. o o - o o o War Savings Certificates.

And it is equally hard for us to realize that we are brothers and sisters of those who thus suiter; members of the same famijy and as such in duty bound to help carry the enormous burdens laid upon both them and our common country. This war has not caused any of us in this part of the Emph*e to suffer either from hunger or cold on account of the war, for which blessings we ought to show our appreciation and gratitude in making sacrifices from our worldly stores to aid our land in its fight for the objects which should be dear to every one of us.'

The press from time to time has pointed out that the fashionable clubs in some cities in England were, infested with these Canadian officers who are superfluous and'wholly unfit for the services that they were appointed to, but in spite of that drawing big pay from the taxpayers of Canada. ���������' A despatch from London says that in the Shorncliffe area alone there were 238 colo'hels and maj- ��������� ors some months ago, and the total since has greatly increased. The breaking up of battallions to which these'offic'e'rs belonged and amalgamation with other units may have had something.to do with their number being so large, but it is mainly due to the absurd system of giving'high military rank to civilians without military knowledge or qualifications. The despatch further states that the problem of eventually deciding the fate of returning officers is thus transferred to the military establishment in Canada, where it is anticipated they will either engage in recruiting or again enter civil life. A number of . seniors express , bitter resentment, declaring they will neither revert to lower rank nor return, but intend remaining here until ��������� the authorities find them suitable employment. These supernumeraries are a problem. Some are wholly unfitted for iiommand owing ,to lack of knowledge of military organization. We would - have cleared them months ago, Now that he has gone they must go, declared one in authority. The News-Advertiser of Vancouver has this to say on the subject: "The question of dealing with superfluous colonels and majors in the Canadian expedi- ditionary force may not be so easy as it looks., But the war is not made for staff officers, and if there is no work for them, or if they are not qualified for work at the front, it is not just'"that they should remain an encumbrance or a charge on ��������� the country." And now Geo. Perley, the Dominion High Commissioner in England, insists that all these' superfluous officers return to Canada and be relegated to private life, when they may beable to serve their country by developing its resources. o o o' o o Speculators Had Their Daj>. It is pretty safe to say that- Mackenzie and Mann and other men of their grasping disposition will find the new minister of railways, Hon. John Oliver, less plastic character to deal with than the former railway minister, the easy-going and compliant Thomas Taylor. There have already been a few clashes between the new minister and several railway officials, needless td say that the astute John carried his point in every instance. ^ It will be found that with the new government in power the specelator will have no better chance than an ordinary citizen. Live Stock. It has been said and truly that the produce of the farms should not be hauled to the market, but driven. That means that the farmer should keep live stock for the consumption of his crops. In that way will he combine the business of production .and manufacturing and .reap two profits. At the present high prices of meat, butter and eggs, it should be the aim of the farmers of Bella Coola to get posted on everything necessary to be learned regarding the rearing of live stock, as there is no'question but what there is money to be made in it if properly conducted.- We produce from 'Seasonable Hints' a few notes on live stock; but while we do so in order to "draw the attention of the farmers to this live issue, we would .urge that they read up the pamphlets issued by,the government oirthe different subjects pertaining to live stock, etc., and act on the information received. "Direct marketing of all or most of the raw products from the farm is a mistake. It demoralizes the farmer, exhausts the farm and impoverishes the commonwealth. Every farmer should aim to convert at least one-half, or better still two thirds or even more' of his crop' into concentrated or finished form before selling., The advantages are many: to mention two or three, greater net cash returns possible and probable, increased soil fertility certain, and, best of all, work for the hired man the whole year round, thus progress- continued on page 4, column 2.)

Bella Coola farmers are independent; G tkey are strangers to hard times. View of a ranch in Bella Coola Valley. T,HE REASONS for this enviable condi- ���������*��������� 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 a\Vay over twenty first prizes.

ADVERTISER Now is the time to keep your name before the public. No manufacturer or wholesalehouse can afford to let slip the opportunity of increased sales that public advertising brings. DEAL ESTATE booms in the cities have come and gone. People are beginning to flock to the country. The North-West Coast of British Columbia offers opportunities for all. Did not know," is no excuse. Investors should keep posted on developments by reading the "Courier." You are judged by the stationery that you use. Let us do your job printing. We will do it right. Live Stock.-Coi.tiiuiccl from page 3. ing toward a solution of the farm labor problem. All of which, of course, leads up to what I have suggested several times already in this publication, the advisability of your gelling into live stock in a small way at least,'if not already practically interested. With a plentiful supnly of forage in the country no better time could be chosen for making the little start. Do it right now. Do not make the mistake of trying to handle too manv; too many is almost as bad''as none at all. "Feeds.���������Variety is one of the great secrets of feeding. " Waste no good straw; it is more valuable than low-grade hay and should be fed' either cut and mixed with other roughages or fed long once daily. In the absence of sufficient succulent ration such as ensilage or roots, a good substitute such as molasses, beet pulp or an extra supply of grain must be provided. The | stock must be kept thrifty, else Uhcy are not extracting the most ��������� value from the feeds consumed. 1 Mill feeds should have been purchased, co-operatively, in mid- jsummer when prices were low. Remember the grade of feed is in every way the cheapest, costing less per pound of protein and usually being more digestible. "Dairy Cattle.- Good calves of good breeding, well reared to the first calving, are by far the most profitable animals. Varying with the 'feeds available, prices of feeds and individuality of the animal, it costs' at least $G0 to S7.j to raise a heifer to first calving (23 to 32 months'of age.) Other things being equal, the poorer the bull used the nearer the dairy farmer is to bankruptcy, and the better the bull the nearer to prosperity. The best available pure-bred bull is the only animal which may be profitably used. He will pay for him self in one crop of calves. Canadian farmers are losing millions of dollars annually by milking poor cows and rearing poor calves from them, by worthless bulls. The cost of rearing and maintaining is the same for the profit- making cow and the cow losing from $10 to $30 per year." More production is wanted in British Columbia, and' to have these we must have more producers, an'd let everyone of them endeavor from how on to produce more from the same area. Better crops and more of them is what is wanted. This is a capital time to plan the work for the coming season, no matter iri what part of the province you live. Whether the ground happens to be large or small there is nothing like apian which will show what the crops were doing the past season and this will enable you to change the crops about for tho next so that they will not occupy the same plots. You will want to draw up a list of seeds and roots which you intend to buy and decide on what manure you will require. Keep up a lively interest in the Farmers' Institute. AT THE FRONT.

This was duly carried out by Mr. Leese rand every soldier which had claimed Bella Coola as their home received boxes or letters at Christmas. It will be readily seen that by engaging a friend in London to attend to the whole transaction a considerable saving was effected. There were sent 24 Christmas-boxes and 11 letters. Mrs. I.

BEGIN NOW TO SAVE MONEY FOR THE NEXT WAR LOAN JAN. f, 1917 DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE OTTAWA Martin Christenson Attending Lectures. Editor, Bella Coola Courier. When I left Bella Coola I promised to let you hear from.me. It was then my intention to go down to California to stay there during the winter months. But I have got no farther than Washington yet. While visiting my folks here my brother, who lives at Parkland, near Tacoma, persuaded me to come and stay with him. Parkland is an ideaj place for one to spend his vacation. And the weather has been very pleasant with no snow and hardly and hardly any frost yet. The Pacific Lutheran Academy is situaced at this place. My impression of this college is the very best and I think that people would do well to send their boys and girls to this school. As I have made it a point to visit the Academy every day since I came down, listening to lectures and reviewing my oldtime school- work. I think I can speak with a certain knowledge of the matter. How long I will stay here at Parkland before I go farther South I can not say at the present time. In fact, I like this place so well that I may not go down to California before late in the spring.

The press from time to ime has pointed out that the ashionable clubs in some cities n England were, infested with hese Canadian officers who are [superfluous and wholly unfit for he services that they were ap- ointed to, but in spite of that rawing big pay from the tax- ayers of Canada. A despatch from London says .hatinthe Shorncliffe area alone here were 238 colonels and maj- rs some months ago, and the )tal since has greatly increased, he breaking up of battallions to SwhicH these'officersbelonged and malgamation with other units ay have had something to do ith their number being so large, ut it is mainly due to the absurd ystem of giving high military ank to civilians without military novvledge or qualifications. The espatch further states that the roblem of eventually deciding ,he fate of returning officers is hus transferred to the military ^establishment in Canada, where t is anticipated they will either [engage in recruiting or again tenter civil life. A number of pieniors express bitter resent- ent, declaring they will neither evert to lower rank nor return, ut intend remaining here until he authorities find them suitable [employment. These supernu- eraries are a problem. Some iare wholly unfitted for command wing to lack of knowledge of ilitary organization. We would ave cleared them months ago, butknew Sir Sam Hughes would return them with higher rank. Now that he has gone they must go, declared one in authority. The News-Advertiser of Vancouver has this to say on the subject: "The question, of dealing with superfluous colonels and majors in the Canadian expedi- ditionary force may not be so easy as it looks. But the war is not made for staff officers, and if there is no work for them, or if they are not qualified for work at the front, it is not just that they should remain an encumbrance or a charge on the country.'' And now Geo. Perley, the Dominion High Commissioner in England, insists that all these superfluous officers return to Canada and be relegated to private life, when they may be able to serve their country by developing its resources. o o o o o Speculators Jiad Their Day. It is pretty safe to say that- Mackenzie and Mann and other men of their grasping disposition will find the new minister of railways, Hon. John Oliver, less plastic character to deal with than the former railway minister, the easy-going and compliant Thomas Taylor. There have already been a few clashes between the new minister and several railway officials, needless to say that the astute John carried his point in every instance. It will be found that with the new government in power the specelator will have no better chance than an ordinary citizen. Live Stock. It has been said and truly that the produce of the farms should not be hauled to the market, but driven. That means that the farmer should keep live stock for the consumption of his crops. In that way will he combine the business of production and manufacturing and reap two profits. At the present high prices of meat, butter and eggs, it should be the aim of the farmers of Bella Coola to get posted on everything necessary to be learned regarding the rearing of live stock, as there is no question but what there is money to be made in it if properly conducted. We produce from 'Seasonable Hints' a few notes on live stock; but while we do so in order to draw the attention of the farmers to this live issue, we would urge that they read up the pamphlets issued by .the government oh the different subjects pertaining to live stock, etc., and act on the information received. "Direct marketing of all or most of the raw products from the farm is a mistake. It demoralizes the farmer, exhausts the farm and impoverishes the commonwealth. Every farmer should aim to convert at least one-half, or better still two thirds ^r even more of his crop into I concentrated or finished form be- ifore selling. The advantages are many: to mention two or three, greater net cash returns possible and probable, increased soil fertility certain, and, best of all, work for the hired man the whole year round, thus progress- continued oh page 4, column 2.)

'"THE REASONS for this enviable condi- ���������*��������� 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. B 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.
