S. ��������� Venture arrived 1 a;s t Friday evening on the southbound trip nearly on schedule time. What with the cold weather and an unusually strong wind the passengers reported the trip to be one of the roughest experienced in the inside passage. The arrivals were: Sergeant Lauretson, recruiting officer, and R. 0. Jennings, road-superintendent. R. O. Jennings intends to prolong his stay with us for two weeks as there are several matters in regard to public 'works needed for the coming season which he will investigate and take under consideration. . The community feels confident that Mr. Jennings will give its affairs the careful attention and sympathetic consideration which they deserve. Among the late arrivals must not be forgotten a big bouncing boy the stork brought to Mr. and Mrs. Gunnar Saugstad at the hospital on,Sunday. Mother and child are fine and Gunnar is now wearing his broadest smile. light. The sleighing is not as good in places as might be desired. In the more exposed stretches of the road the wind has swept the snow off, but big loads are being hauled over the roads however. , . The owners of the sawmills in our neighborhood and many of the farmers are availing themselves of the fine weather and are busily engaged in logging operations. Never in the history of Bella! Coola has the ice been in such fine conditions for skating. And it is not only the young people only other persons seated on the platform. The meeting opened by Rev. W. H. Gibson leading the audience in prayer for the success of the righteous cause of the Allies. Mrs. Sf Le C. Grant gave an instrumental solo, followed by a song by Miss Addie Gibson. It may be noted here that while every performer received loud and long applause, as the program was proceeded with the enthusiasm grew steadily stronger so that by the time it was over the cheers of the people nearly raised the roof of the building. fallowing Miss Gibson's solo, a tiger were given for the re . cruits. The program being over the ladies brought in coffee, cakes and sandwiches, and the supply was so bounteous that everybody had all they wished and then some.

Italy recently sent an enormous quantity of provisions to revictual the Montenegrin and Serbian armies, but the provisions were left rotting on the quays at Sagrovanni di : Me^laa,, -Albania, although there were plenty of means for transport to the interior. Socialists Create Disorder who have kept account of the \ number of men who have gone to join the colors from Bella Coola are 28. As this community number less than 300 people, men, women and children, the showing compares favorably with other sections of the country. But the recent call for more men to go forth to fight the battles of the Empire makes it necessary to make further sacrifices. With the object of making a further appeal to the men of military age in the place, recruiting-sergeant Lauretson of Prince Rupert, came here Friday, last week. How many men he has | been able to secure before his departure we cannot at the time of writing this tell. What we can tell is how many added their names to the rolls at a recruiting meeting held at the Colony Hall, Hagensborg, on Tuesday evening this week. In spite of. the short notice of the meeting it proved to be the greatest gathering of people that ever met in that hall. People from the town- site in nearly every available sleigh, hitched to two and four horse teams, struck out early in the afternoon for the place of meeting in order to be on hand in good time, and it may be noted that their passage through the settlement was made known to the residents along the road by noises other than of sleigh bells. Nearly all the other parts of the valley were represented by nearly every person that could get there, so that by the appointed time of the meeting at 7:30 the seating capacity of the hall was taxed to its utmost. It became the task of C. Cari- although on the shady side oi life, trying his best to enter the service in a position befitting his training. ��������� Tollef P. Saugstad gave a selection on his violin, and Miss Hallowes brought down the house with a humorous recitation. Miss Addie Gibson rendered anothei solo, and then S. Le C. Granf gave his great recitation "The Flag," at the ending of which the audience rose and gave three cheers for that far-flung flag, the emblem of liberty and justice wherever it w7aves. Miss Marjorie Clayton followed with a solo, when the floor was given to the recruiting officer who made a short speech, at the end of which six men came forward amid the applause of the crowd and signed the roll. They were: Harry Gustafson, Charles Wood, Ingvald Urseth, Charles Taylor, Fred Anderson and William Gordon. While the men were being enrolled the chairman read a letter from H. G. Anderson expressing regret of his inability to be present but also his decision to enlist with the other men. Miss Nordschow was called upon and gave another solo, and then the audience rose and sang "God Save the King." Immediately following three cheers and Rumors are rife and seem to be reliable that by-elections will be held in the middle of February, followed by the assembling of the legislature and that the general election will take place, about April 1.

Admission: Adults 50c; Children 25c. A good musical program has been prepared. The Bella Coola Temperance Society held its annual meeting at the Hagensborg Church on Sunday afternoon, January 16. -. The meeting was presided over by the president of the society,. Mr. O. C. Olsen. It opened with prayer, led by Mr. H, O. Hanson. A committee to make proposals how the forces in favor of prohibition may be organized for effective work reported: It was decided that a public meeting be called as soon as possible at the Lower Bella Coola schoolhouse, where steps should be taken to co-operate with the provincial organization known as The People's Prohibition Movement. A committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements. Another committee reported that badges had been ordered for the use of the members. The report of the officers were then received. The president reported that six meetings had been held during the year, that the attendance had been very good and that there were now 73 members of good standing. ; The treasurer's report showed the finances to be in a healthy state. With no debts and very little in the treasury. As a result of Hjalmar Schul- stad's canvas of the audience for new members, four joined the society. The following were elected Officers: O. C. Olsen, president; John Widsten, vice-president; H. Schulstad, secretary; G. B. Olsen, treasurer. Sven Svendson and Clara Widsten were appointed a committee on program. The meeting had by this time transacted all the business that had been presented and gave itself over to the enjoyment of the program, which, however, had to be abbreviated because of its length. The program as rendered were a song by the Misses Widsten accompanied by Miss Fredland, and speeches and readings by John A. Sylvester and P. Lauritson.

A Chanjed Front. About the time when the great change took place in the government and Sir Eichard was ap- ppinted'agent-general in London, the members of the government and' the press were very loud, yes, rather suspiciously loud, in their praises of '^the splendid" services" rendered the country by ihe retiring agent-general, Hon. J. H. Turner. But'it seemed that these effusions did~not impress Mr. Turner sufficiently to restrain his indignation of the manner in which he had been gotten out of the way! He used some plain language and.said among other'things that he'had been "kicked out." That Mr. Turner did not show the proper respect for the cbnsti- tuted authorities and ready submission to their decree aroused the ire of Premier Bowser and his organs and the comments they now-make upon the value of Mr. Turner's services are not quite as flattering as they were a few days before. The last mail brings us the information that on "January 6th Turner telegraphed- his resignation, upon the receipt of which Premier Bowser made some ungracious -references to the old gentleman's memory of his own decisions, and to his complaint that, he was practically kicked out. In addition to this information we can do no better than quote part of an editorial in the Vancouver World,- which throws further light upon the changed estimate of the government organs upon a worthy servant's career: "The News-Advertiser found editorially that the placing of Admiralty orders for lumber in California, Oregon and Washington showed that it was 'high time that British Columbia should have as agent- in London the most capable and influential of- ficerf available.' It'added that 'with ail- respect to Mr. Turner it was impossible of late years that he could be more than a routine official,' and explained that with Sir Richard on the spot the 'Admiralty would be instructed and advised beforehand.' "The public would be interested to know at what date the government found Mr. Turner and his office inefficient. Was it Mackenzie and Mann, who have been able to work the British Columbian for as much as the}' had the effrontery to ask "for, have, according to a late despatch from Vancouver, been sued by the Pacific Properties Limited for one and a half million dollars damages for fraud and deceit over the sale of some real estate in Port Mann in 1912. The plaintiffs claim that it was represented to them at that time chat Port Mann would become the Pacific terminus of the Canadian Northern system. It has for a long time been suspected that Mackenzie ��������� and Mann were not above securing the money of the public through fraud and deceit, as expressed in the complaint of the Pacific Properties Limited, and when we view the success this unscrupulous concern has had in its every dealirg with the British Columbia government, it is reasonable to suspect that they have not forsaken their nature in their business transactions with the province: It is no doubt very probable that astute men like Mr. Bowser and Sir Richard have knowledge of shady transactions on the part of Mackenzie and Mann and that the province also has suffered because of them.... "VVhileit would be uncharitable - to charge Sir Richard and Hon. W. J. Bowser with being parties to their fraudulent transactions, yet it would be a grave reflection upon their eapableness as business men to doubt that they are ignorant of them. And that Bowser and Sir Richard have been hoodwinked on many occasions by these same gentlemen is the most charitable view to hold when we consider the situation Mackenzie and Mann have placed the annual meeting of the Conservative Association steps will be taken to secure'this information and thus we will show Mr. Man- son he will not be able to block us in that fashion." Our readers will have observed in the account of the annual meeting of the Conservative Association, as reported in. our last issue, that' a motion was passed to the effect that such information be secured. This is on similar lines as a request made; by the Courier to Mr. Manson in our issue of October 30th,' which request Mr. Tatlow and Fulton resigned ' Manson thought fit to ignore, but from their honorable positions as | the reasonableness and timelin- ministers of the crown .rather ess of the request was such as than enter into the subsequent to commend itself to the Con- transactions of the governmentIservatives and now they are with the piratical firm, and it is'seeking the. same information, the duty of the voters of British 'although from different sources.

Not so very long ago a member of the local Conservative Association met a.friend of the opposite camp, whom we shall call Liberal. Their, conversation centred on the change in the British Columbia government. The Liberal remarked: "William Manson seems riot to believe in telling his constituents what has become of all the money charged up to Bella Coola." Conservative: "We have other ways of getting at that kind of information." Liberal: "I am curious to know, how?" Conservative: "Why that is easy.

The average wealth per capita in Kansas is $1629,61. The second state is Massachusetts with a per capita wealth of $1353.47, or nearly, twenty per cent less. Kansas has a much larger relative number of young men and women in college than any other state according to the census of 1910. The percentage of illiteracy in Kansas is lower than in any other state in the Union except one. Thirty-two states in Kansas have abandoned their poor farms. Forty-eight counties out of one hundred and five did not send a prisoner to the penitentiary last year. The per capita consumption of liquor in the United States is twenty-one dollars yearly. In Kansas it is three dollars and four cents. Kansas, says governor, thus saves thirty million dollars every year directly. The indirect gain is not subject to computation, but it is certainly greater still. There is no doubt that prohibition pays, morally, financially, socially, educationally and politically. The liquor traffic is the greatest handicap from which our civilization suffers. Where it is done away with a hundred problems which vex the head and heart of the social reformer- solve themselves and the greater part of the remainder are shorn of. more than half their formidable character.

Great efforts have been made by Germany and her. sympathizers to stir up revolt against British rule in India, but we are glad to note these efforts have failed. ". The Ottawa Free Press contains the report of a meeting held in Ottawa on December 10, addressed by Dr. Rostum Ros- tumjee of Bombay, at which he declared that India stands behind the Empire to a man and "shall stand there till the enemies of liberty and civilization are beaten to death." The meeting was largely attended and distinguished by the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Connaught. Dr. Rostumjee further stated: "We can send out millions of men and tons of gold if Britain can train and equip our men, utilize our means and accept our sacrifices on the altar of duty and humanity. Already 250,000 troops have been sent by the Indian Empire to help the British cause in the various theatres of war.'' Speaking of the impression that enemies of the Empire had tried to give out that India was seditious and disloyal, and of the attempt and hope of Teutonic diplomats to stir up a revolt as one of the means of complicating the situation for Britain, he said: "Never for one moment did I fear such a dire calamity, not so great for India as for England itself." To more clearly show the significance of India's attitude, the lecturer briefly reviewed the political situation in that country previous to the war, and showed how the people were lined up.
