The event of the season took place at the Bella Coola Hotel last Saturday, when all the people of the town and a great many from other parts of the valley turned out to listen to the lecture of Miss W. Pecknold on "Life in the Barracks," from a woman's point of view. The gathering was also made the occasion to show appreciation to Miss Pecknold' for her many efforts in ait: of worthy objects and to paj tribute to her worth as a member of the community and a teachei for the last two years. The entertainment opened at 8:30 p. m. with the singing by the large audience of the "Maph Leaf." Miss Ruth Nordschou followed with a solo in a styk which has made both her and the rest of her family sought for at all our entertainments. Messrs Atkins, Grainger and Lord in a trio brought down the house and had to respond to an encore, and then came the chief item of interest, Miss Pecknold's lecture. In an entertaining style in her quiet, humorous way, she described the life of Tommy Atkins in the barracks. And he had in the lecturer a friend who from an intimate knowledge could give a sympathetic description, she having been born and spent the greater part of her life among her soldier friends. Her father was an officer, and a great many of her relatives were soldiers b.\ profession so that she in truth is a typical "daughter of the regiment." At the close of the lecture a vote of thanks to the speaker was extended by the audience rising to their feet and then the storm broke loose. All who could sing roared "She is a jolly good fellow" with a vim and then gave three cheers and a tiger, Miss Pecknold acknowledged the ovation by bowing to the audience. Mr. Harry Grainger gave a fine recitation, vivid with scenes from the field of battle. Miss Phyllis Gibson and Mr. Herbert Sutherland gave a duet on the piano. Mr. Atkins' played and sang in such a manner that he had to do it over again. Mr. Herb. Sutherland then came on with a mandolin selection, accompanied by Mrs. Win. Sutherland, Miss Nord- schow gave another soloand then the literary part of the program Save the King." The ladies of the W. C. T. U. who by their efforts had made the occasion such a great success introduced to the audience at the close a great barrel with the announcement that anybody who paid 10 cents could pick out one article out of the barrel. The whole audience surged forward and emptied the barrel in record time. A supper was served in the hotel and the attractions of the evening were such that a great many did not reach home until the wee sma' hours. The receipts of the evening, which all went to the Red Cross fund, were $34.60. After a week of glorious sunshine and great heat which the farmers availed themselves of to the utmost in curing their large' crop of hay, a heavy rain of a day's duration came last Monday. And now refreshed nature has put on her brightest smile and promises a good crop to the tillers of the soil. We are glad to say that Jacob Lunos is so far improved that he can leave his room at the hospital and walk round to see his friends. He will be going home soon. The sockeye r u n. improved somewhat the last week and in the opinion of the ones who pretend to know it promises to be above the average for the season. The catch of spring salmon has been unusually large this spring. Mr. Iver Fougner, secretary of the 24th May commjttee, is in receipt of the following letter from the Canadian Red Cross Society, which will be appreciated by the many who contributed so generously to the success of the celebration: Dear Sir:���������I have very great pleasure in acknowledging receipt of your cheques totalling $191.00, being the proceeds of Empire Day celebration at Bella Coola, B.

Prosecute the Investigation. ��������� The Canadian people has be- it. cone so accustomed to charges of graft being made against its Provincial and Dominion governments' that when fresh com- : plaints are made only slight in- '��������� terest' is aroused. It may seem inappropriate to bring this matter of war contract' scandals up at this time; but from information received; it is probable that the investigation of war scandals announced by the government -tin the last day of parliament to be continued, may result in an attempt at' "whitewashing", it has been determined that the Liberal press, at least, make a strong protest'against such pro- ��������� ceeding. Sufficient evidence was ��������� brought out during the last session of parliament to show that there had been gross misappropriation of public funds in the purchase of supplies for the soldiers and the army. There is no question on that score, and yet in the face of this fa'ct, the government directs its commissioner appointed to continue the investigation to just find out if there is any evidence of graft and cor- uption. : ' This matter of graft in the handling of public funds is not looked upon by those in authority to be of the serious nature that it really is. It seems that at the outbreak of this, war .the government, not realizing the awfulness it would assume, considered that the time of a great expenditure of public funds would also be an opportune tima to give their henchmen "a chance;" that this in fact was the usual thing and, by long usuage, had become almost legitimate. And so we find that the Public Accounts Com- mittee'in its short sitting during the last session of parliament found irregularities to the extent of about $600,000 in the expenditure of some $3,000,000 investigated. ��������� There was $50,000,000 expended, so there seems to be ample material for further investigation. An itemized account of the graft as found out by the Public Accounts Committee in the different purchases amounting to $3,000,000 may be enumerated as follows: The amount of graft for each item���������Horses, $83,139; drugs, bandages and medicines, $30,- 906; binoculars, $4,640; submar ines, $249,961; bicycles, $28,770; shield shovels, $30,940; motor trucks, $180,000; needles, thread, etc., $10,650. ��������� When..this war is over,and the mind fully comprehends the severity of the ordeal gone through and the sacrifices made, how pitifully mean and contemptible it will appear, that trusted representatives of the people would not deal directly with reputable business firms; but ordered that all transactions for the purchase of war material must be made through middlemen; and then, when the inevitable occurred, and the grafting became uncovered, reluctantly undertook the investigation demanded. Let the in vestigation.be carried 01V without let or hindrance; these extraordinary times demand that the work be thorough. The government owes it to their own reputation, to the interest of their party, to the fair name of the country, and to the cause of freedom now in peril and Which we all should help to defend, to see that every person availing himself of the distress of the country to enrich himself by unlawful means be prosecuted; and if the government of the Dominion will thus guard the trust reposed in-them they can come before the country, when election must be held, confident that the people will continue to trust them. o o o o o Lasting Peace. Last-week our exchanges contained the news that steps are being taken for the organization of a league of nations which will "bind the nations of the world- in a pact of amity." A conference for this purpose was held at Philadelphia the middle of last month. Our esteemed-contemporary the Vancouver World, ridicules these well-meaning people and asks them in scriptural terms "What hast thou to do with peace." ^Ve beg to contend, they have everything to do with peace, and so has everyone who has an adequate horror of the wholesale murder and destruction going on. The warring nations are not the only ones concerned. The whole world should unite in intelligent DECLINE SUBSTITUTES efforts to bring about peace; and there may be ways of doing this other than by fighting. We agree with all those who hold that this war should be fought to the end that a peace which may endure for all time be obtained. And this lasting peace cannot be obtained unless all the nations, or nearly ajl, have a voice in the formulation of it. And it may possibly be found, that such nations as United States for instance, will be better qualified to outline the plans for this enduring peace than any of those nations who are inflamed by passion brought on by long'fighting, great sacrifices, injuries and indignities suffered. It is encouraging to note that prominent and practical men of United States gathered at the conference referred to; that former ��������� president Taft was chairman of the meeting; and therefore practical results may be expected. In the meantime, we in our part of the world will do whatever the government asks of us to strengthen its hands in the gigantic task it is engaged in. o o o o o The Submarine Deal to be Probed. While the Conservative press throughout the country is unanimous in its statements that Sir Richard's hands in the famous submarine deal are- clean and that his act in securing them at any price was highly commendable, Sir Charles Davidson, whose business it is to get at the truth in the "war contract scandals," evidently classes this deal among the scandals and has announced his decision to make a "thoroughly exhaustive inquiry" and that the Commission in dealing with the "deal" would sit either in British Columbia or Ottawa. Sir Richard has, during his stay in Ottawa on his return from England, been up for examination before the Royal Commission of which Sir Charles Davidson is the head. Sir Richard made some'--���������extraordinary- statements in justification of the high price he had paid. He stuck to his former story that the Chilean government had failed in making the required payments and that was the reason why the submarines were for sale. And as to the high price, he gave Lieutenant Pilcher as authority for the statement that one such submarine as this would cost in England $710,000, and that he therefore actually had saved the government a quarter of a million dollars on the deal. Then again, at the time Of purchase he had no idea what price the Chilean . government had agreed to pay fcr them. This is the first time since they were bought nearly a year ago that statements such as the two last ones have, been made. He does not explain, however, vvhy that cheque for the amount in excess of the contract price went to the Seattle firm inktead of the manufacturers. That,Sir Richard is very much annoyed over being subject of suspicions of wrong-doing is evidenced by the heat he displayed while being examined. The auditor-general said he considered it his duty to look into the matter under these circumstances. Sir Richard interrupted here: "Itis enough to discourage a man from giving service to his country when one finds men through political bias and partizanship imputing all sorts of underhand and damnable motives." "Do you include me among these?" asked the auditor-general dryly. "I hope not," said Sir Richard. If according to G. H. Barnard's explanation in the House of Commons, both he, Hon.'Martin Burrill and Capt. Logan had heard the price of each submar- was $375,000, it is strange the chief mover in the transaction had not learned it. Mackay Smith, Blair & Co. Ltd. VANCOUVER, B.C.

A good deal of the work being done in these directions may seem and probably is useless, but a thorough knowledge of the subject will, if properly used, be found a great help in supervising the work. < There In ay be a difference of opinion among those qualified to judge what good may result from the investigation carried on, but on one point there is a unanimity of opinion and that is, that the trout is the greatest known enemy to the salmon. Salmon is a great staple of food at all time, but especially at a time when prices of food are soaring and thousands of people are in want of daily bread; it is therefore a duty of those who have in charge this industry to so manage it that it will bring the greatest /.*'< result; not only for the benefit of those engaged but also for the benefit of the needy. Hatcheries are built and maintained, streams are kept clear of debris, close seasons are established and guards appointed to ES������| see that these and other regulations are observed, but the trout is allowed to devour the spawn and the young fish by the million* and nothing is done to stop its ravages, and most remarkable thing of all, it is protected. You cannot fish for trout except in a certain season and in a certain manner in order that the stock of trout may not decrease. And why in the name of common sense is the government so solicitous for the propagation of this enemy of our greatest fond fish? Just because the fishing for trout furnishes an excellent sport to those who have the leisure and means to indulge in this and a great many other pleasures. Our lawyers may contend that the trout is not primarily protected to give diversion to sportsmen, but because this sport will draw wealthy tourists to the province, who will spend a great Brajds Best Ceylon ./'PACKED- : BY;'���������("���������'' WM.

Sir-'-I should like to be accorded the hospitality of the Courier in order to communicate, some n e w s j u s t received re- lative to my dear friend A. R. Leese, reported missing since the night 22-23 April, at Lange- marck in Flanders. I think his numerous friends in Bella Coola will be glad to hear that there is still some faint hope that 'Dick' was taken prisoner whilst wounded or overcome by the gases. The information which came from P. Ken yon that he was killed was previous to the cablegram from London which you were so kind to publish, and \i the military have posted him as '"missing" since (his name appeared only on June 12, Province) they must have good reasons fordoing so. The following passages out of a letter from one oi his comrades-in-arms which wj s communicated to me in. this last mail give an idea of the situation: " . . . . Our battalion know nothing at all about Leese. He was in the bomb/throwers and they were separate from us on the night of the charge, so none of us saw Leese. One man in another battalion told me that he saw Leese on the night of the charge doing awfully good work with bombs, and that Leese was so keen that he went right into the German lines by himself, but another man in ourbattalicn who knew Leese much better said he saw him on the morning of the 23 near head-quarters���������t very dangerous part at that time, and 1 think it is more likely that this is true. . . . I should like so much to be able to hold out hope to you that Mr. Leese is alive, but 1 don't think he is the sort of man who would be taker prisoner at any time. . . . I like Leese immensely, such a generous, good-hearted chap, and very keen to do good work in the bomb throwing section. I saw much of him as he was in the same section as myself, and miss him very much. I have heard of men who were wounded and taken to British dressing stations and in this way their own battalion has not been notified. 1 have tried to tell you all I know, but owing to all information being inaccurate at a time like this it is quite impossible to really come to the facts of the case." I have also heard from other sources that lists containing names of British prisoners of war were over three months in coming through the International Bureau of Switzerland". Whilst the hope is very faint, yet there is still some hope, which 1 am sure his friends will cling to until the worst is proved and in that case we shall be justly proud of the glorious end of the first man that enlisted from Bella Coola and took the Trail for the war- only a few hours after it was declared.

L "1 I.I.. 1 w HAT person so happy and contented as the prosperous farmer? \5L/HAT person so independent? ^X/HAT ambition more noble than to be a producer of the necessaries of life? Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. "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. 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. ���������<H ���������< > Highland Liquor Co.

This season has, so far, been one of the most favorable known for the, raising of crops in this district and we therefore hope that our farmers,will come to-the exhibition with a large assortment of their products, confident that Bella Coola is still one of the most fertile spots in the province and therefore-may be proud of her achievements. We are in receipt of the following communication from the management of the exhibition which speaks for itself: Seven years ago���������Prince Rupert and the Northern Interior was the frontier. Today, there is a transcontinental rail way cutting clear through the centre, towns with all modern conveniences, splendid farms, mines, a fishing fleet "and other signs of civilization.

It is a proud moment for the farmer, miner or fisherman, when they can shew the world and their fellow1 citizens how they, each in his own way, have enriched the resources of the Empire, and also the actual benefit which has accrued to them in doing so, both to themselves and their home district. Progress is steadily proceeding in the matter of organization work. Prize lists showing a total of over $2000 in cash, cups, medals, etc., have been distributed and anyone desiring copies can obtain the same on application to the secretary at Prince Rupert. There are lots of prizes, in fact prizes for all, and assuredly for those who can shew results in the way of, greater production. Quite a number of the members of the Association are at the front in France, in answer to thebattleeall of civilization, and it .is therefore only right for those whose duy it is to stay at home to' do "their little bit" by especial efforts towards increased production and the utilization of the district's natural wealth. Splendid attractions for the entertainment of ail, not forgetting the kiddies, are under way. Co-operation by the transportation companies as to special reduced rates and free return of exhibits has been promised, and the citizens of Prince Rupert are fully alive to the fact that what advertises the district benefits the town, and are putting their shoulders to the wheel in an effort to give Prince Rupert's Fair visitors a right royal good time.
