As the time is fast approaching when the women shall also share the responsibility with the men of dealing intelligently with theafFairs of government, it is to be hoped they will be as keenly interested as the men in the issues of the day. The meeting was well attended and was called to order by Mr. B. Brynildsen, president of the local Liberal Association. In a few remarks he introduced the speaker of the evening Mr. T. D. Pattullo of Prince Rupert, the Liberal candidate of this district for the provincial legislature. Mr. Pattullo is no strangei here, having held meetings in the valley about a yeai- ago. His speaking is in the conversational style and is smooth, calm and even. Without resorting to any rhetorical means he held the attention of the audience from start to finish for about one hour in a speech that bore evidence: of his sincerity and earnestness. In opening, Mr. Pattullo referred to the desirability of the representative of the district representing all the people of the district irrespective of what their politics may be. That government by road bosses and cliques must cease and government and administration must be conducted in the interests of the people as a whole. Referring to the plugging in Vancouver, Mr. Pattullo said that the situation revealed was nauseating in the extreme and that the general conclusion arrived at was that a determined effort had been made to bring discredit not only upon Mr. Macdonald but upon the whole Liberal party and to this end a Liberal organizer had been bought over by the government forces. If Mr. Bowser was anxious to have the whole matter cleaned up he should grant immunity to this organizer who is now a refugee in the United States to return to Canada and give evidence as to just who the men were at the bottom of the trouble. Bowser refuses to do this and contents himself | disgusted every clean minded ! person. Mr. Macdonald was a dor Gerard.

Referring to the criticism of Mr. Brewster indulged in by the government supporters with regard to the issue of the writ by that gentleman, Mr. Pattullo was in- thorough accord with Mr. Brewster and said that if the Election Act had not been amended at the last session of the legislature Mr. Brewster would not have applied for the writ because even if all that was done during the past session were illegal the next legislature could make valid anything that had been done illegally; but in view of the fact that the Electiom Act was changed it simply mean.1 that if the last legislature sat illegally the new legislature, which will be elected under the amended elections act, will necessarily sit illegally and therefore could not possibly validate anything that had been done. It was therefore extremely desirable that the question shculd be settled at once otherwise there would be confusion worse confounded. Mr. Bowser of course was trying to make political capital out of the situation b> stating throughout the country that Brewster was holding the business of the country back, but as a matter of fact Brewster had suggested several ways to Bowser to bring on an immediate hearing of the case, but Bowset preferred to continue .the" course of misrepresentation in order to, if possible, gain some political advantage. Mr. Brewster had more than made good at the last session of the legislature and was constantly increasing his prestige. Mr. Pattullo pointed out how Bowser had sat tight until after the Vancouver election when he completely lost his head and was ready to promise anything ana everything in order to secure popular favor. To this end he started to steal the Liberal platform. Unfortunately in his attempt to adopt the Liberal platform he had only further exemplified the incapacity which had marked the government administration for the past thirteen years, and many of the measures now proposed by the government would only lead to further disaster as proposed to be carried out by the Bowser administration. As a matter of fact the Bowser administration could not possibly remedy the present situation evenlf it wanted to, foi the reason that it was circumscribed by interests which would not let it move a hand. If Bowser was returned to power In- would double cross the people just as he double crossed the liquor interests, just as he double crossed McBride and just as he will double cross anybody whenever it is in his power to do so to further his own interests. Mr. Pattullo's arraignment was chiefly founded upon Bowser's own appraisal of his government. He showed how Mr. Bowser had admitted the charges made by theopposition, but tried to brazen the situation through. The speaker also took occasion to point out the constructive policy of the Liberal party and referring to the immediate problems of the valley he thoroughly sympathized with the people Jottings of Bella Coola and District S.

In every other province throughout this large Dominion one will find prosperity on every hand, but it is the lot of British Columbia, with all her natural resources, to find ihe people reduced almost to poverty. Continuing, Mr. Pattullo said that things were so bad now in general that the people of British Columbia had to stop. The borrowing of millions of dollars every year and handing it out to grafters in handsome commissions had to stop. Mr. H. Helgeson, a former member of the legislature, spoke for some time and show.ed instance after instance wheie the taxpayers money has been wasted for the exclusive benefit of the government's hangers-on. Miss Hallowes advised those present to see that the referendum of woman's suffrage was adopted. Many of the provinces now had given women a chance to vote and in doing so there would certainly be less chance for men to be elected to parliament who are not of the right kind as was now so often the case. M. B. Christenson said that house cleaning was a necessity ces. We are glad to state that from time t0 time and th^t jg what the taxpayers of British Columbia have to do now.

At the last session of the legislature the Bowser government, in order to gain favor with the soldier vote/amended the Elec- ��������� tions Act so as to provide for the soldiers at the front voting at coming elections; We believe that it is perfectly right that every soldier in British Columbia should have a vote no matter in what .part of the province he maybe stationed, but it may well- be asked how can a soldier who left here eighteen months ago and who has been in Europe or possibly Asia for the great part of the time since, be in a position (to judge of "the many/measures and questions that have arisen since he left? No other province has adopted such a course. It is of course absurd and is only another illus- tration of the many cheap attempts of the Bowser administration to secure the favor of the electorate.- Is it not time that we had an administration that will give us clean and capable government along common sense lines in order that all our people may be happy and prosperous? Such an administration would not require to resort to subterfuge and finesse in order to gain popular support. true to his erratic mind or whatever the reason may be, he refuses to assist in having this momentous question settled speedily. He prefers to travel around the country telling the people of the wickedness and perverseness of Mr. Brewster; how he by this action is tying up the business of the province to its incalculable injury. Mr. Bowser, true to his nature and his low "estimate of the intelligence of the people, believes that he will be abJe to deceive them as to the true, state of the question at issue. We boldly make the statement and know that in due-time it shall be generally admitted: that Mr. Brewster by his appeal has done the right thing, at the right time; and that it is Mr. Bowser who, in'his refusal to allow the courts to render a speedy decision, is tying up the business of the province. * ' 'GILLETTS GLEANS^DISINFECTS } Bowser is the head. Mr. Brewster asks the court to decide whether Mr. Bowser has exceeded his authority in the payment of the whole of this money. Tying Up the Business of the Province. A good motto for every person, every organization, every government to follow is: "Be sure you are right, then go ahead." In a.great many minds of our m:>3fc exparienced and intelligent men of affairs there exists grave doubts whether the latter part of the late session of the provincial legislature was valid or not. The time for which it was elected expired March 14, and the legislature by an act extended its own life until June 1. These men who entertain such doubts believe it is for the interests of the province to have the , question of the session's legality settled forever and beyond any doubts, and in order to attain this desirable and obviously necessary end Mr. Brewster, the Liberal leader, has appealed to the courts for a decision. If our premier was equally desirous of establishing firmly the acts passed by the late session, he would be glad to join the Liberal leader in this effort, but] Mr. Bowser's Illegal Act. Possibly it may not be generally known that-irrespective of the question of ,the validity oi the acts passed by the late'ses- sion, there is another branch in the action brought*, by Mr. Brews-' ter which possibly has something to do with Mr. Bowser's reluctance to have the courts render an early decision. Mr. Bowser has acted as a trustee in the paying out of the funds obtained by the sale of the P. G. E. railroad bonds guaranteed by the province." These'" funds should be paid out to the company in proportion to the mileage completed, and so as to cover the entire length of the road. Instead of complying with law in this respect he has caused the funds held by him to be paid out as fast as the rapacious railroad promoters demanded it, with the result that he has paid them more money than has been expended on the road, and needless to say the road is far from being completed. The railroad promoters (or wreckers is probably the better word) are now howling for more money and Mr. Bowser, isusing the credit of the province to raise another six million dollars to pay out to these gentlemen, who by the way are clients of the law firm'of which Mr. Nova Scotia Stays Liberal. The elections in Nova Scotia on June 20 was a sweeping victory for the Liberal party and the Murray government. The Liberal party has been in power for thirty-three years and Hon. Geo. H. Murray has been the premier of- the. province since 1896. ��������� It is a triumph for.the Murray government, but it also reflects .credit on the Liberal party in that it has been able to retain the confidence of the voters and even attain" a greater majority than ever after such along term. It may well be inferred from this fact that it has not..become corrupt through a long -reign of power,' which so generally proves to be the.case and especially so, as exemplified, in this-province at the present'd'ay. Although Nova Scotia is a province with considerably less resources than our province and for that reason should be considered poorer and consequently have a lower, credit.- Yet a short time ago,- when jt had occasion to borrow some money.its bonds were sold at more than their face value. a result to. act together for the common good. Too long the spirit of aloofness, the spirit of competition, the spirit of getting ahead of the other fellow, and the offspring of these sinister spirits���������the spirit of uncharit- ableness���������have been ruling. - The importance of the spirit of harmony which the "getting together" will promote was emphasized nineteen hundred years ago when the apostle admonished: "Let brotherly love continue." On this spirit is founded true progress, and therefore if we desire to advance on the best lines towards national greatness in its true sense we must cultivate the spirit of harmony. If we.differ on any points, f which we are sure to do, let us come-together and discuss them; by learning the-reasons for the differing in the views of others we ourselves obtain a wider vision and will be able to see the grounds'taken by our opponents in a friendlier spirit. If there are any common needs to relieve or common objects to attain, let us come together and discuss them and try to meet the different views in the right spirit and hammer them into one common plan.

As a fact that in many instances the wish is the father to the thought, and as we all are eagerly looking' for signs that our strong enemy is weakening, it has been natural to treat the stories of shortage of food in Germany and the riots on ac- countof it with more or less incredulity. But of late these stories have come from so many points and been so numerous that they ;must be. credited as being according to facts. Last year the crops of Germany, with the exception of potatoes, were not up to the average, and as a result in spite of strict government control it has been found impossible, to so distribute the food- that. wide-spread distress could be avoided. When; we consider this ever-present heed and the oppression of mind caused by the great loss of lives, the increasing numbers of the severely maimed for jife of those "near and dear to a sorely tried-people,, it is not to be wondered at'that riots-break out at frequent intervals. .> . Up till this time it has been possible for the authorities to keep the people in the belief, that this war was forcuj upen them, by their jealous neighbor?, and the German people noted for their love of country have bun willing to make any sacrifices in the defense of their "vateiland."

It is said in a long German article regarding the central disposition of food that the butchers are unable to supply more than one-third the normal quota and that Germany in the very near future must feed her people on vegetables. Even if it is possible to train the population to a vegetable diet, this cannot be done unless there is plenty of bread, butter and eggs, turnips, beans and such other vegetables, but none of these, not even potatoes, can be had in the quantities the people require them.

When one first makes a trip through the Bella Coola Valley, one cannot help being struck by the great opportunities offered by such an extensive and beautiful district. I am sure it would be hard to find a locality with a greater combination of inducements for habitation. Not only is Bella Coola a good farming district, with good soil and good climate, but it also has naturally beautiful surroundings which to all true lovers of nature should go to make the farm a home and not merely a place to grind out a few dollars from the soil with ::in infinite amount of labor. In my opinion, if a man follows at occupation he should do it intelligently and with the idea of pleasure and interest rather than the mere idea of making a living, ���������ind the profit derived will be considerably greater not only in dollars but also in better community spirit. I have been asked time after- time how are we to obtain a market for our produce? Now there is only one answer to this question--"gettogether." Make this your slogan, let each and everyone give up the idea that he is the only one who is making a living off the land and start in now to devote himself to increas- Continued on page 4, column 2. President Wilson Speaks: It is from the valleys and the hillsides that we draw the sources >f life and prosperity, from the farm, from the forest and the mine.

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. THE REASONS for this enviable condition 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 enjoy-' able; 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 cat tied away over twenty first prizes.

Let him do this I say not only for his own' good but also for the good of the community, so that in time the district may become known for the quality as well as the quantity of its produce. AjricuRural organization' has made great strides in Denmark and other European countries and was brought about by necessity. The farmers were brought to realize that they, had to get down to businesslike methods. All other branches of commerce have, of necessity, become highly organized for the purpose of getting goods on,the market. Where, there is a volume of production of high grade articles a market is assured. The sameis true in agriculture. Produce the quantity of a standard | juality and you will have' no crouble in getting your market, ft is no use everybody pulling in his own direction. There has got to be a community spirit, a determination to combine together and work for the common good. After that spirit has been fostered" success will follow. ��������� The great heed of every market is ior quantity and quality, especially quality. It is no good trying to get,rid of a large quantity of low grade goods. The only result is a bad name for the producer and the good articles will only obtain .the same price as the inferior. -Itwould be easy to cite a number of examples of how co-opera tion has produced almost incred ible results. But just as one ex- rV~nrr"T-iir MrriT���������tin iim-firrt iirm J^EAL 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." rintiiij ample of what is being done near to home take the marvellous way in which the fruit industry of the United States has been placed in a position, by-careful organization, standardization and careful methods, where the growers can send their produce to Canada in spite of competition and other obstacles. Here is a case where they did not wait for the market to come to them; they "got together, " organized on a business basis.and found the market. People of Bella Coola yc'u have a land of opportunity. I would- strongly urge you to realize the possibilities ^of the district and the necessity for co-operation. Organize On a business basis, standardize the geeds that you wish ,to sell, study farming methods with the idea of increased yields per acre and better- quality of produce, improve your herds by selecting high grade animals; in fine, keep in mind that the best should be the aim of everyone. Do not.be content with just anything aim at the top, and you will find in timeand not. very long either, that your farms will become more like home; that they will yield 50 per cent. more, from the same acreage-than before, and more important than all you will have an organization which will be able to deal successfully with market problems. Therefore, I say co-operate for the good of the country .which affords you a home, for the good of the community of which you are members and for the good of each individual in the community, and "soon you will find that your farms will amply support you and you will be able.to "enjoy the benefits of being at home rather than having to depend on sources altogether foreign to agriculture for a means of support. I may say that anything I can do towards furthering the interests of the farmers I will most certainly dor but it must be understood that there is to be support from all sides. If people are not able to come together and work harmoniously towards a given object, whichinthis case lis the sale of produce, no one man can do very much to assist them. In such a time as this, when all over the world there is a need for maximum production make your work efficient, do not waste materials by handling un thrifty stock' and increase the value of your soil by more careful handling. There is a Swiss motto: ' 'To till the soil is to serve one's country;" and at this time it is more applicable than ever to all those farmers who have the true interests of the country at heart. Every effort should be used to increase production away beyond,the usual rate. ~^M'��������� m ESTABLISHED AT BELLA COOLA JN ]8iJf) Cut the {Clover Early. It is the rule on many farms to let the clover crop turn brown before it is cut. This may add a little to the, weight but it detracts from its feeding value. Haymustsmell sweet and have a good color in order to be rated first-class. Over-ripe clover is dusty, woody; and smells like tobacco. This may be pleasing to the owner, but to-the cow's uneducated taste it is not. Properly cut clover will retain its gveen color even after being thoroughly dried." A ton of green, sweet smelling hay is worth two tons of that which' is over-ripe. ��������� Clover when allowed to turn brown in the field gets brittle and most of 'the blades powder and are lost in the hauling. There seems no good reason why farmers fail to transfer their clover from the field to the hay mow in a condition which will- be acceptable to the animals and profitable to themselves.
