Sir���������There appears to be a persistent rumour which has gained considerable currency in the Province, that my late secretary was associated/with- the stealing and manipulation of plans of home defence and that the discovery of his complicity therein was the cause 'of his death. Since returning from my recent visit east I learned that some such rumor had been published in a Seattle paper, but I paid no attention to it other than as a phase of newspaper sensationalism. It never occurred to me that in British Columbia, where Macrae was well known, any heed would be paid to it. It. is a painful subject for me to discuss, but in justice to the memory of one who never betrayed a trust or was disloyal to his country in thought, word or deed, I must state most emphatically that the rumour is without the slightest possible foundation. The circulation of such stories, wilfully or otherwise, is a cruel reflection upon my late secretary and painful in the extreme to relatives a/nd.friends. Mr. Macrae had bee^n suffering for many months with a nervous ailment and his untimely death cannot in the slightest degree be regarded as a reflection in any way upon his honour as a man or a citizen. Yours faithfully, RICHARD McBRIDE. London, Jan. 21.���������A Bucharest despatch to the Daily Mail describing the Russian invasion of Hungary says: "During the night of January 16 a Russian force descending from Funoul-Moldier, in the south-west corner of Buko- wina, passed over Mount Colacul and advanced as far as Czanes- chtie, near Jacobini, where the Austrian artillery was massed. These troops were supported by two other columns and their front extended through Czan'es- ch'tie, Jacobini and Pitni. To avoid being surrounded the Aus- trians retreated toward Jacobini. Fighting continued during night and day of Sunday and Monday and is still proceeding. An official statement 1rom Petrograd says that in the region north o���������f Rawa two attacks by the Germans have been repulsed. On the evening of January 18th the Germans in the region of the village of Vitkoritze, on the left bank of the Bzura, made an attempt to capture an important bridge. The advance was made under the glare of searchlights, rockets and fires of straw. This attack was repulsed by an effective fire by the Russian artillery. On the same evening in Western .Galicia, after heavily canonading our positions south of Radliff and setting on fire two villages behind our positions, the enemy delivered a fierce attack. A large detatchment, advancing in a compact mass, reached our barbed wire entanglements but were compelled to retire with heavy loss. In Bukowina the Russian troops continue successful. They have occupied the village of Ich- ancschti near Watradorna, where they captured many prisoners. To Invade Servia German Troops and Siege Artillery London, Jan. 22.���������The Bucharest correspondent of the Times telegraphs that the new army formed for the invasion of Servia includes a German contingent numbering eighty thousand men with a full equipment of heavy siege artillery. Definite operations are expected to take place at an early date. Attacks of Enemy Are Repulsed " Paris, Jan. 22. ��������� An official" communication states as follows: "The enemy violently bombarded our positions to the north of Notre Dame Le Lorette, following with an attack at 5 o'clock in the morning, which was repulsed, In Champagne regions, two small woods north of Beauie- jour were occupied by our troops, the enemy delivering an unsuc- cessful counter-attack. In Ar- gonne, the Germans made a strong attack on our line in neighborhood of St. Hubert, j After a violent bombardment of, our trenches the enemy's infantry delivered an attack but met with a destructive fire from both our infantry and artillery, forcing them to retire with heavy loss. Heavy fighting continues in the region of Hartmonn-Weil- erkopf. On other portions of our front there is nothing of importance to report. Russians Form New Plan Trench Fighting Too Slow London, Jan. 22���������The Russians are unfolding a new plan of campaign says the Daily Mail correspondent at Warsaw, and within a month's time a fresh offensive will develop. It will not be the ordinary trench fighting, but of a character particularly suited to the composition" of the Russian army in which cavalry takes such an important part. Under the new plan operations are contemplated which will extend over at least six months. Holland Expected to Protest London, Jan. 22.���������It is expected that the government of Holland will make a pi-otest against the violation of the neutrality of that country by German aerial raiders. Reports from Amsterdam show that in the recent aerial raid by the Germans,'the "baby killers" passed over the jouter Freizan Islands both on 1 their outward trip and their return. Although in this instance only four people were killed, the public indignation is roused to an even higher pitch than the Scarboro raid. Activity in German t S. S. Chelohsin made her usual weekly call at this port on Wednesday, her passenger list on this occasion being very small. Among those leaving for the south were Mr. John G. Walker, who has been delivering a course of interesting lectures throughout the valley, and Mrs. Parker, who has been spending a three months visit with her brother, Mr. Harry Sinclair of the Crossing. Many of our readers will be interested to learn that Mr. Wm. C. Cullen, late in the employ of the Ocean Falls Co. as paymaster, is now at Winnipeg in training for active service. The power-cruiser CharlesTodd with Indian-agent Fougner on board left port on Monday for a visit to the neighboring Indian reserves. Germans Move Big Guns London, Jan. 22.���������Telegraph- from Bucharest, the Daily Mail correspondent says: "A strong force of Hungarian troops are proceeding to the Buckowina frontier by way of Bistritz to arrest the Russian invasion. Amsterdam, Jan. 21���������The Germans continue to remove their big guns from Ostend to Heyst. Two 28-centimeter guns were transferred on Sunday. These changes that are taking place! indicate that in the event of an advance by the Allies along the coast, no attempt will be made to defend the present positions before Ostend, but that the Germans will fall back nearly to the border of Holland. London, Jan. 22.���������According to a despatch to the Daily Mail from Copenhagen, a flotilla of German destroyers and submarines left Heligoland Roads on Wednesday and news from many sources indicates The annual meeting of the Bella CoOla Farmers' Institute took place in the Colony Hall, Hagensborg, on Tuesday afternoon. The election of officers! for the ensuing year resulted as! follows: President, Tf P. Saug- j stad; vice-pres., D. W. Hoage;! sec.-treas., A. Hammer; board of directors, H. Haakenson, W. H. Mackay, A. Svisdahl, and S. Le C. Grant. The attendance far surpassed any previous record, well over one hundred members using the privilege of the ballot. If this can be taken to indicate the increased interest taken in matters pertaining to farming in the valley, this place undoubtedly has a bright future as regards that industry: Mr. J. N. Cran, late manager of the local branch of the Bank of B. N. A., has been appointed to the management of the branch at Lytton. Those who attended at the Mackenzie School on Tuesday evening were well repaid by the exceedingly interesting lecture delivered by Mr. John G. Walker. The subject of the address was the anticipated disintegration of Turkish empire as a result of its j suicidal entrance into the great war. Mr. Walker dealt with the subject from the table standpoint, emphasising the fulfillment of the prophecies and predicting that ultimately the last stand of the Turks Would be made at Jerusalem. ��������� The manner in which the speaker dealt with a somewhat difficult and delicate subject showed keen insight and considerable study.

A Rude Shock London, Jan. 21.���������Truth says: "The confidence of British investors in Canadian undertakings has received some rude shocks durin^the past year or two, but in some respects this case (the Dominion Trust Co.) is the worst that has occurred.

German Plan Fails London, Jan. 21.��������� Frederick Bennett at Petrograd wires: "The Russian advance through North Poland prevent the Germans from establishing their winter headquarters on the Vistula River, the failure of which means that the German forces will be dangerously exposed to attack.

SATURDAY, JAN. 23, 1915. Dictated by Duty. The Attorney-General is feel- ing uneasy: He is losing his grip ' and is fast being, driven into a corner from which he is trying vainly to extricate himself. His latest attempt to repudiate his responsibility'in regard to the losses sustained by the depositors in the Dominion Trust was made at a Conservative meeting at Kerisdale. Here Mr: Bowser is reported as saying "The inspection of trust companies does not come under my department, ��������� but that of the finance minister, and the blame, if any, should therefore riot be put upon me.". Mr. Bowser denied ever having said th'at he knew that for two years jthe Dominion Trust Co. had been insolvent, but admitted saying that from the liquidator's report it was apparently so. '-' He did riot attempt to deny that to his- knowledge, both as Attorney-General of the province and as legal adviser to the company, the company had , been permitted to continue taking the people's money on deposit for a year after the last shadow (and only a shadow) of legal right to do so had been swept away, by an act passed by the provincial legislature. In spite of this Mr. Bowser is reported to have stated that the course he had taken in regard to public affairs^ was that "dictated by duty." \ Let us just see how this works out. In 1913 a bill was introduced in the legislature conferring upon the Dominion Trust Co. certain powers denied it by the federal parliament. The Attorney-General knew that the bill was unconstitutional, and admits that he advised his colleagues to that effect. But nothing was heard concerning it from either him or them on the floor of the assembly. He allowed the bill to be passed knowing it to be unconstitutional, and is reported to have stated that he kept silent for fear of causing a split in his ftarty and the defeat of the government. His course in this respect was dictated by a sense of duty, but only to his party and not to the public interest. He could not be true to one without damaging the other, so he chose to'Stand by his party and betrayed the public trust. For a whole year the Dominion Trust Co. operated under powers conferred by illegal legislation of which Mr. Bowser was fully cognizant, until in March 1914 the act was repealed under pressure from Ottawa. From March 1914 the company was deprived of ,the last vestige of right to take deposits, but was allowed to continue its reckless and lawless course, and Mr. Bowser, ac- cording to his own admission, knew this. Again he was undoubtedly guided by a sense of duty, but to his own private business concern in its connection to the company, and not to the public interest. Mr. Bowser entered into illegal transactions, with a handful.of Indians regarding the purchase of an Indian reserve. He allowed $80,000 of public money-to be paid to two men, one of whom untill shortly before the transaction took place, held a prominent position in the firm of Bowser, Reid and Wall bridge. The Indians got their price, $220,000, the aforementioned persons pocketed $80,000 between them and the province is refused a title to the land. The Indians still own the reserve. Where was the Attor: uey-General's sense of duty, or for the matter-of .that, common sense of any kind? Mr. Bowser as Attorney-General closed the doors of the jails to certain persons who had been ������ sentenced to imprisonmentunder the criminal code. By this act he deliberately .obstructed an effort to cleanse our cities of commercialized vice, and was the means of these persons being turned free (after having been sentenced to ���������imprisonment) to carry on.their nefarious traffic. Where was his sense of duty? The Attorney-General must* indeed be possessed of a depraved imagination to ever suggest that such behaviour ,on his part has been in the public interest. Let him take care lest he add insult to injury. . He asks for fair play in regard to his responsibility for the Dominion Trust affairs. What kind of fair play did he allow the company to show to its victims? What kind of fair play did he regarding the date and place of show to the naturalized British jthe meeting and knew nothing subjects throughout the province by his last amendment to the Elections Act?" What kind of fair play did he show to the coal miners of Vancouver Island?" What is the Attorney-General's idea of fair play,' anyhow? o o o o o The management of the Courier is in receipt of a communication from a local reader, who was once upon a time an ardent Conservative, completely enamoured of the McBride-Bowser machine methods as .practised at that time. Our friend has apparently changed with time. The decreased flow of easy money from the provincial treasury may possibly account for change of front. The communication while conveying much information seeks still more. Some of the information sought is more or less of a private nature and therefore we are precluded from according such through the medium of these columns. But most of our friend's enquiries pertain to the local Conservative party and their doings throughout this valley. , In respect to the work of the several Conservative organizations up and down the valley, we may say we see very little of it. We state again that we are not in the confidence of that party, no do we wish to be so. We are happier and better satisfied to stay out. There are times when we feel inclined to, and as a matter of fact we do sometimes talk matters over with certain of the more enlightened officers of these several organizations, but these.talks we keep strictly to ourselves. Although concerning public matters these exchanges of opinion are kept stricly private for many and obvious reasons. Our esteemed friend comments on the Courier's report of the annual meeting .in connection with the "Bella Coola General Hospital, and enquires why a notice of this meeting was not inserted in the Courier. He complains that a large number of people were leftjn ignorance WHEN BUYINGYEAST i INSIST ON HAVING THIS PACKAGE For Results Use��������� wmi }Mm- DECLINE SUBSTITUTES of it until it was ovei\ As regards the report, we find on enquiry that the information was obtained from the president of the Hospital Board by a mem- of our staff in the regular way of news for this paper. In respect to the failure of those responsible to properly announce the meeting by inserting st notice in this paper, there may be many reasons most of which are not hard to discover. The Courier is strenuously opposed to the present administration for reasons which any reader may easily understand if he will. The Bella Coola General Hospital is a Conservative institution and is run as such, and it would therefore be foolish to expect notices of this nature to be inserted in the Courier, even if by so doing a full meeting would be assured. Where ignorance is bliss, etc., etc. Our correspondent remarks that only two persons from Bella Coola town attended this meeting, the president and the secretary. Perhaps other townspeople had not known of the meeting. Then again, we know cases of Conservative meetings in the past where the less persons attending the better it suited the purpose. It is just possible that this Hospital meeting may have been of that order too. although our own experience is that our townsmen do not take kindly to attending meetings of any kind. Our friend who now writes us seems so well posted on the inner workings of the local Conservative party that his questions put us. in rather an embarrassing position. Yes Sir, we know that "A. P.

HTHE 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. 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. i 1 gta mp"' M M ���������< M ���������< >���������< Patronize Homelndustry and Buy RAMS A YS' Biscuits, Candy, Macaroni New Orleans Molasses Manilla Drips Imperial Maple Syrup Ramsay Bros. & Co.

Hardly has Winter well begun With skatings, sleighings, meetings, When o'er the mountain peeps the sun With its bright Sping-time greetings. Our cannery now gives welcome toil: A call from "Sainte" to sinner, To help secure the Ocean's spoil, And many a toothsome dinner. Then comes the .twenty-fourth of May, Its happy, joyous faces; Our patriotic Empire Day, And blending of the races. No scorching rays on man, or grass; The sun now hid, now shining, So those who count .the clouds that pass, Should note their silver lining.

We heard instead of soldiers' stride, Our Empire's mighty rally; And hearts went out in love and pride, To those who left our Valley. Nor desolated home, nor mead, Like our poor Belgian brothers; Plenty of everything we need, And something left for others. Nor lost the art in old, and young, Of music, song, and fiction; And Autumn turns the song that's sung To evening benediction. One drop means not the ocean vast,' Nor summer but one swallow, Yet one live thought upon the Past May gild the year to follow. Thanks, Mr. Editor, and so These lines which I deliver.
