Teutons have succeeded despite the marshy lakes in the boundary section of Dobrudja, in bringing up heavy artillery. The town of Galatz is now under German cannon fire, but Russo-Roumanian forced stoppage of enemy infantry from encircling the town. Reported that Gen. Falken- ���������hayne had a conference with KingConstantine, It is believed that the Teutons are planning a drive through Macedonia upon Saloniki in the early spring. Increasing activity of the enemy in Macedonia indicates a move against Gen. Sarrail's army contemplated shortly. Sharp fighting has been in progress on Macedonian front in,the last few days, possibly presaging more extensive operations on the part of the enemy. German troop?? launched strong counter-attack on the Monastir front and succeeded in. driving. - Serbs back across the Cerna, according to Berlin.

The Farmers'' Institute will hold a meeting at the Colony Hall, Hagensborg, Saturday, February 3rd, at 1:30 p. m.y Subject to be discussed: "Co-operation and 3the Marketing of our Produce." One member to serve on the Executive Board will be elected to fill vacancy. O. J. Nygaard, Secretary. Constable Frank Broughton as member of the Red Cross and Patriotic Fund Committee, ,is nowsendingout appeals to those of our citizens who have not become regular contributors to the Patriotic Fund. It is regretable, but true, that there are many people yet who do not realize their duty towards the country which gives them a home and protection in their pursuit of the things necessary to live and to enjoy life;, men who have not been affected by the ravages of war and therefore are able to add to their savings every year, seems <as large.as before the war, and who just ignore .their part in^the struggle and try to escape their responsibilities. ��������� , " ' The Patriotic Fund tries to help the families of those whose bread winners have gone to the war. For that reason everybody shoujd-.contribute to this Fund, and not- by indifference and hard- heartedness deny the comforts of life..to those' whose protectors and providers have taken their life in their hands to fight for our common cause, and country. In this year, 1917, British Columbia will need $2,000,000 for this Fund, and is expected to raise one half of this amount. .The rest will be drawn from the general fund. ������ Now let us rise to the occasion and show that we, who stay at home and do no "fighting, are willing to pay, anyhow., The order, of the hour is��������� "Either Fight Or Pay." -All except 60 cents of every $100 will reach the families of the soldiers; so there should be no talk or even suspicion of graft in connection with the handling of this money/ ��������� F. A; Johnson, A. E. and.R. Owens took a trip to Ocean Falls last week. It is rumored they contemplate entering upon extensive logging operations at Quatna for the Ocean Falls Co. Last week the settlers had several of the annual meetings of local organizations held at Hagensborg. ' These meetings were, in spite of the most wretched weather conditions, very well attended and testified to the fact that the people still retain a strong inter-' est in public affairs., We have already reported the proceedings of the Farmers'In- stitute and the Hospital organization. The Lutheran Church held its annual meeting at the Hagensborg Church, Wednesday afternoon of the same week. Rev, H. Sageng presided. As the different reports were handed in and commented on, the fact became very much to the fore that the members and pastor of this church have shown considerable activity the last year, although of a strictly routine nature. The various objects for which the church is working have been well supported from a financial point of view and showed no falling off because of, financial, depression. It was decided to callanother meeting in the near future for, the purpose of discussing ways, by which the work of the church may be made still more effective during the year. We are glad to note that the boys from Bella Coola are making their mark at the front. P'te John Nygaard has been promoted to corporal and lance-corporal F. C. Grant is now a sergeant. The war has demonstrated that the boys who have lived in the peaceful surroundings of Bella Coola are "not lacking in the qualities that are supposed to be developed only amid strife and difficulties. Although it is rather late in the day for a newspaper to relate were praised by divisional and corps commanders. "No doubt you know all about our casualties by now. Bert Anderson and Harry Gustafson wore the only two of the Bella Coola boys to get hit. My company happened to miss the first show, as "we went into the front trenches in the night for the purpose of going "over the top" the next day; but orders were cancelled and .they took the other three companies out and left us in for 48 hours, then took us out and sent the others in. ��������� Believe me, we were pretty well "all in." The next morning, they went over and the next night we relieved B company and "you can't imagine how glad I was to hear John's (Nygaard) voice. God! it was a relief to find them all alive. I hardly dared to hope that all of them would get through safe, but there they were, very 'much alive at that. It was next time "over" that H. Gustafson got his wound. "A" company went over that time, but I had been sent in charge of acarrying partywith the French ' mortar battalion, so I missed that too". John Nygaar.d-fwas in it and had lots of sport banging away at "Fritz" when he counter-attacked. Believe'me; I have seen war in its grim, reality now ar.'d it is "no small game.'

One of'our boys, Alfred Ove- son, who enlisted about a year ago, has distinguished himself by conspicuous bravery in the face of heavy shell firetas as despatch bearer at the front. ' For his exceptional heroic conduct he was awarded the military cross. It is no small thing to thus make himself conspicuous for bravery amid armies of heroes, and we are justly proud of our fellow citizen. We take off our hats to Alfred Oveson! Through the courtesy of T. P. Saugstad we are enabled to publish a letter from-his brother, Corporal Randolph Saugstad, who is fighting "Fritz" in the Somme valley, "somewhere in France." "Well, here we are again safe and sound after a spell of pretty severe fighting on the Somme front. I believe I can tell you now, as we are away from there, that our battalion did good work, took their objective, .everything; they wentf "over the top" and years was engaged in connection with public works in the valley, is reported killed at the front.' ' One of the most valued and trusted employees of the firm of McLennan, McFeely & Co., passed away at the General Hospital, Vancouver, on the 6th inst. He was Mr. W. A. McMartin; and he died from heart ti-ouble. Mr. McMartin, who was only 35 years of age, had been in the employ of the company for the past eight years, the major part of the time as a travelling salesman, but recently he was placed in charge of the city sales department. In his capacity of travelling salesman he was well known to the merchants and others of Bella Coola.

Last week we referred to a recent speech 'by Sir Robert Borden at Ottowa, in which he ��������� intimated that it might become necessary to adopt drastic measures to obtain soldiers. Our attitude on this .subject under the presnt circumstances is in favor of conscription. , This week we bring1 before our readers the position taken by the B. C. Federationist, the official organ of organized labor in the province. Its views on conscription may differ from ours, but when it calls attention to ' material -things which should be subjected to conscription as well as the man power of the Dominion, we cannot deny the justice of its contention. We quote in part: "For Sir Robert Borden and his government to proceed along the line of action he is evidently contemplating, will be nothing short of potitical suicide by him. For the government to attempt to coerce and compel, by methods of conscription, the workers of Canada to shoulder still heavier burdens, while at the same time ��������� protecting and defending the class of parasites who are fattening and growing wealthy out of the products of labor destined for war service, and the sustenance of the people while the war is on, will be to array class against class in Canada in a most bitter and vindictive political struggle at a time when the united support of all should be sought for the co-operative solving of the problem of winning the war. "Let riot-Sir Robert, delude himself that Canadian workers are wholly lacking in an understanding of the situation of public aff airs as it exists today. The workers of Canada have, as he ' says, about reached the end of voluntary enlistment, not because they are altogether lacking in a desire to serve the Empire, but, because their patriotism has been chilled and made cautious by the scandalous' manner in which Canada's participation: in the war has been handled. Exposures of graft in high places have disgusted them, nepotism and party preferment in the expeditionary forces has angered and f disheartened them. The equipping of the troops with defective rifles and the stories of profligacy and mismanagement has repelled them. If the Conservative govern- has an ounce of political sense I in its party-bound constitution, it will take heed of the gather- a ing storm that is about to burst upon it. "The workers of Canada are not so much imbued with the desire to wreck and punish the government as they are to force that government to adopt a public policy in line with the needs of the empire in the war and the citizens' pride'in their country. "Throw overboard the rotten gang of ghouls who are profiting out of the war. "Chase into oblivion the pestiferous gangof military humbugs who are drawing fat salaries while rendering no commensurate service to their country. "See to it that rewards and and pensions are equal, irrespective of rank or influence.. "Do these things and many others that will ho doubt suggest themselves to an honest and patriotic administration, and the government will have wiped out most of the existing reasons for slow recruiting; and then if voluntary enlistment fails, the government may apply with a reasonable show of fairness that the burdens of war will not be all carried, as at present, by the working class." , O'1 o ��������� o o o The Compensation Board. The appointment of the three Commissioners under the Workmen's Compensation Act, is the first important act'of that kind made by the new government - ilk' and has, therefore, received unusual attention, being considered an indication of tlje government's ability, to act wisely for the best interest of the province and preserve its independence from political pressure and interference. There were one hundred and! fifty applicants, some of which were supported by strong lobbies, but the1 three selected were not among them; they were chosen because of thejr eminent fitness for the position. (' E. S. ,H. Winn, the chairman,. WHENBUYINGYEASTl INSIST ON HAVING THIS PACKAGE iisi ]'*m-i DECLINE SUBSTITUTES is a lawyer, well and favorably known throughout the Kootenay district and a former law partner of Hon. J. A. Macdonald, chief- justice of the Court of Appeal. The second member is Huj������h B. Gilmour, by training a mechanical engineer. After having been in the service of the C. P. It. for fifteen years he has, since 1808, been manager of the Watrous Engine Co. in British Columbia. The third member is Parker Williams, who.for the last fourteen years has made himself well and favorably known throughout the province as the able exponent, and defender" of the rights of labor on the floor of the provincial house as member ' for Newcastle. The board as constituted is remarkably well balanced, Mr. Winn is qualified to interpret the legal aspects of the Act and the cases cropping up; while Mr. Gilmour will represent the views of the business world and- Mr. Williams those of labor.. And it must be said that even the .opposition press finds very ittle fault with these appoint- ��������� (j i ments, in fact; they on the whole give the appointments' their approval.. As the new governriient is progressing in its work of administration, the fact,becomes more and more apparent that the confidence the people showed in'Mr. Brewster at the last election was not misplaced, and as times go on both he, his colleagues and the party in power, will steadily grow in favor with the.people. O O O 0 o Premier Brewster:���������"All that this province wants is an intelligent application of common business sense to develop it. " We must get down to development instead of trying to wildcat out our natural resources and get rich in- 24 hours. I believe that if you give your new government an opportunity to get down to worlf you will see British Columbia "go ahead with leaps and bounds in the next few years in the development of our natural res6urcf(TsT~I want you to have a little faith in B. C. and in your Government." Yes, the Hon. H. C. Brewster has a big field for operating in and there is a lot of room for improvement inx every branch of our government as well as in the development of our natural resources.' Northern- British Columbia is full of resources that have not been touched, in fact very few people have any idea of what this section of B. C. looks like. Therefore we say to British Columbia's new premier "go to it,'* the right-thinking people will be behind you. The clay of the grafter, who has so successfully operated under the guidance of the McBride- Bowser gang, has come to an end and the honest man open for legitimate undertakings of any kind will now be given a show.

To anyone who was not a blind follower of the leader in the late government, the fact must have been quite plain that Mr. Bowser in spite of his legal ability was not a capable administrator. His shortcomings in this direction might have been a fault for which he cannot be justly blamed; because his abilities may not be of that kind. But we do find fault with him in that he acted as if he considered himself the most capable administrator in the province1 and his party supported him in his 'conceited and. erroneous conceptions. And his conceit',. caused' him to carry things 'with a high hand, not thinking it necessary to be guided by.the wishes of the people. Just now a case has cropped up that throws light on this part of his=character. > ' In 1912, he acted directly contrary to public sentiment in,that he refused to.allow South Vancouver to amalgamate or join with the City of Vancouver, although the ratepayers of the former municipality voted in favor of it to the extent of nine to one and the people of the City of Vancouver to the extent of seventy per cent. ��������� Under.the condition's obtaining in South Vancouver the-result of this arbitrary action on, the part of the late dictator is that the municipality is unable to meet its obligations and has found it- self obliged to appeal to the provincial government for aid. It is admitted that the govern^ ment of-South Vancouver is to be blamed for having plunged the municipality into, heavy debt by , extravagant expenditures; but it must also be borne in mind (t CLUB OFFER "\ We have pleasure in announcing that we have made arrangements with two of the leading weekly'publications so that our subscribers may have the best of reading at substantially reduced rates.

The Courier is far removed in distance from the places in question, yet when provincial aid is involved to relieve the situation it may not be entirely ,0ut of place for us to' voice an opinion in dealing with the probleni.

Such an Association would'have for its objects the development of the industry, and the popularising of great products; encouragement in breeding for the improvement of stock, in order to secure increased production of milk from milk goats and of mohair from the Angoras; assist- VANCOUVER LAND DISTRICT 3JISTBICT OF COAST���������BANGE III.

Bella Coola' farmers are independent, they are strangers to hard times. View of a ranch in Bella Coola Valley. mi Hp-IE 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. )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. 3]BJl^ll=ll������ -. ii-- ���������,������... r SUBSCRIPTION RATES OF BELLA COOLA COURIER.

The formation of such a pure breed record under the National Live Stock Records would give the humble goat a, prestige it has not hitherto enjoyed in Canada. Moreover, it would mean that pure bred stock eligible for registration could be imported from the United States free of duty.' The annual membership fee would be $2.00; members will only have to pay half rates for registrations, etc., and will receive free of charge, publications issued during each year. Members will also be entitled to receive monthly . goat papers. at reduced rates. The Department hopes that all who have the development of the goat industry at heart will join in this movement for the advancement of the poor man's cow. . At the same time, however; it is recognized that in British Columbia, at any rate, there are numbers of people keeping goats who could not handle1 pure bred stock, and to whom the formation of a Provincial Association would have more appeal. To such people the Li ve Stock branch states that, with a minimum of 25 members, if would be possible to incorporate under the B. C.' Agricultural Act in the same way as the present Stockbreeders', Dairymen's and Poultry Associations. In this event, member- ship would be $1.00 per annum, and as one of the privileges of membership members would re- jceive free subscription to a j monthly goat paper, which alone i is worth more than the annual membership fee. Anyone interested in the formation, of either the Dominion Goat Breeders' Association, or a Provincial Association, -should communicate with Mr. ,W. T.- McDonald, Live Stock Commissioner, Department of Agriculture, Victoria, and notify him as to which one they were willing to become a member of. In order that thewoik of organizing the associations may be got under way as soon as possible those ! interested should not delay in writing to signify their interest and desire to become members.

Now the weather has cleared and glorious sunshine with just enough crispness of cold to make out-door life exhilarating has been the order for a few days. ��������� NOTICE. Constable Frank Broughton as member of the Red Cross and Patriotic Fund Committee, is nowsendingout appeals to those of our citizens who have not become regular contributors to the Patriotic Fund. It is regretable, but true, that there are many people yet who do not realize their duty towards the country which gives them a home and protection in their pursuit of the things necessary to live and to enjoy life; men who have not been affected, by the ravages of war and therefore are able to add to their savings every year, seems as large as before the, war, and who just ignore their part in������the struggle and try to escape their responsibilities^ The Patriotic Fund tries to help the families of those whose bread winners have gone to the war. For that reason everybody shou/d contribute to this Fund, and not by indifference and hard- heartedness deny the comforts of life to those whose protectors and providers have taken their life in their hands to fight for our common cause and country. In this year, 1917, British Columbia will need $2,000,000 for this Fund, and is expected to j j raise ono half of this amount. I The rest will be drawn from the 'general fund. F. A. Johnson, A. E. and R. Owens took a trip to Ocean Falls last week. It is rumored they contemplate entering upon extensive logging operations at Quatna for the Ocean Falls Co. Last week the settlers had several of the annual meetings of local organizations held at Hagensborg. These meetings were, in spite of the most wretched weather conditions, very well attended and testified to the fact that the people still retain a strong interest in public affairs. We have already reported the proceedings of the Farmers' Institute and the Hospital organization. , The Lutheran Church held its annual meeting at the Hagensborg Church, Wednesday afternoon of the same week. Rev. H. Sageng presided. As the different reports were handed in and commented on, the fact became very much to the fore that the members and pastor of this church have shown considerable activity the last year, although of a strictly routine nature. The various objects for which the church is working have been well supported from a financial point of view and showed no falling off because of. financial depression. It was decided to call another meeting in the near future for the purpose of discussing ways by which the work of the church may be made still more effective during the year. ...

"No doubt you know all about our casualties by now. Bert Anderson and Harry Gustafson were the only two of the Bella Coola boys to get hit. My company happened to miss the first show, as we went into the front trenches in the night for the purpose of going "over the top" the next day; but orders were cancelled and they took the other three companies out and left us in for 48 hours, then took us out and sent the others in. Believe me, we were pretty well "all in." The next morning, they went over and the next night we relieved B company and you can't imagine how glad I was to hear John's (Nygaard) voice. God! it was a relief to find them all alive. I hardly dared to hope that all of them would get through safe, but there they were, very much alive, at that. It was next time "over" that H.

To anyone who was not a blind follower of the leader in the late Igovernment, the fact must have [been quite plain that Mr. Bowser fin spite of his legal ability was fnot a capable administrator. His Ishortcomings in this direction |might have been a fault for fwhich he cannot be justly blam- fed; because his abilities may not |be of that kind. But we do find ffault with him in that he acted [as if he considered himself the fmost capable administrator in khe province and his party sup- fported him in his 'conceited and ferroneous conceptions. And his |conceit^caused him to carry things "with a high hand, not Ithinking it necessary to be guid- [ed by.the wishes of the people. Just now a case has cropped |up that throws light on this part lof his character. In 1912, he acted directly contrary to public sentiment in that he refused to allow South Vancouver to amalgamate or join with the City of Vancouver, although the ratepayers of the former municipality voted in favor of it to. the extent of nine to one and the people of the City of Vancouver to the extent of seventy per cent. . Under the conditions obtaining in South Vancouver the-result of this arbitrary action on the part of the late dictator is that the municipality is unable to meet its obligations and has found itself obliged to appeal to the provincial government for aid. It is admitted that the govern- ment of South Vancouver is to be blamed for having plunged the municipality into heavy debt by extravagant expenditures; but it must also bebornein mind nr CLUB OFFER "% We have pleasure in announcing that we have made arrangements with two of the leading weekly'publications so that our subscribers may have the best of reading at substantially reduced rates.

The Courier is far removed in distance from the places in question, yet when provincial aid is involved to relieve the situation it may not be entirely'6ut of place for us to voice an opinion in dealing with the problem. # ; While we do not for a moment believe that the province shall take of the people's money and help out in the way of business misgoverned municipalities, corporations and extravagant indi- viduMs^-yet in this^ case where the late government was to some extent the cause of the trouble, the present government may, without establishing a precedent, give the municipality of South Vancouver the benefit of its knowledge of business and some temporary assistance.

In view of the keen interest being shown at the present time throughout the Dominion in the goat industry, and the increasing number of animals, especially of pure-breds being kept, the time is considered ripe for the formation of a Goat Breeders' Association, by the B.

Such an Association would have for its objects the development of the industry, and the popularising of great products; encouragement in breeding for the improvement of stock, in order to secure increased production of milk from milk goats and of mohair from the Angoras; assist- VANCOUVER LAND DISTRICT UMJways Pleases " HARRY HANSON ^Kft*1* of Prlnco Rupert inventor of the Harry Hanson Special Water Heater (Patented In Canada) will make a trip to Bella Coola to introduce his patented rapid heating water coil, also to do whatever plumbing or water pipe work there may be a cull for.

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. View of a ranch in Bella Coola Valley. CZD 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. OELLA 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���������i SUBSCRIPTION RATES OF BELLA COOLA COURIER.
