The squad is fourteen strong, the men being picked from Elliott's Horse by the Provost Marshall, The exceptionally mild weather with the absence of snow is greatly facilitating the work of land clearing which is being vigorously pursued by the majority of local farmers. During the past year unprecedented pro- | gress has been made in the way ; of enlarging the cultivated areas in the valley. Many new orchards have been laid out and planted and under the instruction of Mr. W. H. Tomlinson, assistant horticulturist, the farmers have been enabled to exercise greater care, and to adopt better methods which cannot help but bring about excellent results. The experimental farm, under the able management of Mr. S. Le C. Grant, proved of great benefit and evidenced the highly productive quality of the local soil.

Exactly what transpired has not yet come to light, but, whatever the cause, it is generally acknowledged that some very stormy passages were experienced. The election of officers for the coming year resulted in some important changes, the chief of which was the election of Mr. T. P. Saugstad as secretary in place of Mr. A. Gothard. In Mr. Saugstad the club has an able man who can be depended upon to act fairly and honorably, and if ever the time comes that pressure is brought to bear on him from any self interested clique it will be found that he is not for sale. That is our opinion of Mr. Saugstad. We cannot, however, help expressing our regret that Mr. Gothard was not re-elected as we know that he had grasped the situation thoroughly and had a clear understanding of several matters which had been brought to his notice by local Liberals. It. is gratifying to know that Mr. Grant was re-elected to the presidency. With this gentleman a������ the head those who are not pre- , pared to associate themselves I with the party in power are ; assured of a certain measure of fair dealing. A move to demand the scalp of any man in the government employ who might, by any stretch of imagination, be deemed to entertain ideas favorable to the Liberal party, met with a warm reception. Mr. T. P. Saugstad spoke strongly^against any such course, even threatening to sever his connection with the party should anything of the sort be attempted. Other changes in the exective committee were made, also in the road foremen for the coming season, but in this regard very little information has as yet leaked out. We wish to explain that the reason why we can only offer a vague report of the proceedings is that no one but fully qualified members of the association are allowed access to local Conservative meetings, not even the press. Many of our readers will be interested to learn that Mr. A. Crichton, late of this place, has volunteered for active service and is at present in training in Ireland with the Royal Irish Fusiliers. <r������"> <i������r><"z������r><T������">^rsa (Clmrrh Nnttn> 10:45 a. m. 7:30 p. m.

' 'It seems to me to be a grave state of affairs.

He should not be allowed to act in criminal convictions." So spoke Chief Justice Hunter, and we have need to be thankful for such men, who are not afraid ' to speak boldly when they'see a man in a responsible position of public trust stooping to such contemptible practices. ��������� Mr. Bowser has, i or the past : number of years, been using his official position merely as a tout to direct the legal business of individuals, firms, and corporations having business with the provincial government to the law office, of Bowser, Reid and Wallbridge. His responsibility for the loss to the depositors in the defunct Dominion Trust Company is still fresh in the minds of the public. As long ago as 1907 the charge of mixing up his private practice with his duties as attorney-general was brought against Mr. Bowser. At that time he was the legal adviser of a clever Japanese, Gotoh, O"��������� -i ���������wi mi n��������������� *"* I should like to say a word in favor of the British recruits. Having in view all the anathemas which have been hurled at the heads of the single young men of the United Kingdom regarding their obvious duty, it is remarkable what a number of irresponsible, unauthoritative statements 'have been made. The fault is thatthe young man's interest has not been attracted, his patriotism and latent fighting qualities���������blunted doubtless by football and such like���������have not been properly appealed to, the core of his nature not touched. The press, whatever may be said of the bureaucratic fiends,^ has not had a square deal; the journalists and special correspondents have had no scope���������however brilliant,, their time has been wasted. In fine, the censor is a dark curtain hung between details of the- truth and the nation. The romance of war is therefore lost. As for the recruit, Kitchener's man,,his response is a noble one. I'have previously mentioned the transformation of the "knut". The "knut" is not a waster, .not necessarily, in local parlance, a "gadabout"; not worthless, but a respectable young, fellow, A mechanic perhaps, or a clerk whose only weakness is to*ap- pear "wounderful in the eyes of women."- To this end he wore the bluest of blue socks, the most striking of suits, the brightest ���������(OxaMBMJ-OSMM) of bright ties. And some ill- advised newspapers have created an odious comparison with him and the New Zealander, the Australian and the stalwart Canadian; fine, clean-limbed men, sons of the open spaces, and reared on God's fresh air, who come with a light heart and. a cheery smile to fight for the ���������Motherland. This is a potent thing, it is a tribute to the greatness of Greater Britain. Nevertheless there is a strong word to be' said for the city man, the street-bred citizen who exchanges his job for the hardships and paltry pay of active service. Whatintenseand vitalpatriotism does this imply? Immediately he becomes a soldier, his privileges practically speaking���������outside that fine one in a different sense of being a British soldier- are gone.- In the garrison towns and .training centres he endures in silence the insolence of storekeepers and insipid, milk and water civilians behind the counter of the "dry canteen" who look upon this 19^.5'class of Atkins as a being to be preyed upon and despised.

Sir.���������I notice that you toT gether with many others of the papers in the province are urging upon people the necessity of getting "back to the land," and would like to say that until there is a radical change in laws such a move"is prctically impossible. The "Game Act" is an injustice to those who are attempting to farm, and here are some facts regarding the origin of the'act In January, 1912, a1, "game protection association" was formed and a meeting took place in the St Francis Hotel, Vancouver, in a room handy to the bar. A gentleman who called himself secretary was the chief speaker, and" proceeded to .outline what appeared to me the most ridiculous laws for the protection of wild land destructive dnimals, known by any person of common sense to be the worst enemies of the struggling farmer, I. was told that the chief game .warden was in favor of protecting these destructive animals and that he would address us at a later meeting. But the chief game warden did not show Up. In this he showed good judgment. The secretary-spokesman informed us that he, had interviewed a person high in government circles and had learned that the government intended springing an early election and as the proposed game laws were bound to be unpopular with the farmer, nothing would be done in that session as it would probably af- Gault Brothers Limited WHOLESALE <DRY GOODS 361 Water Street Vancouver, B.

What I answered did not seem to please him, 1 was insulted. -.. My prospects were jeopardized and I wanted no trifling. I never found out when or where the next meeting of that association'was held. Sure enough an election was sprung and the Conservatives were elected almost to a man. Then came the 1913 game act,, curtailing the liberty of the farmer on his own land and protecting numerous animals which are known to destroy crops. One man was fined for killing a cougar which was destroying his calves, simply because he had not a. gun license. He .should have driven into town > for a license and left the cougar with the rest of the calves. Does the government think that by legislating for the idle sportsman and against the farmer they are doing well by the province? The absolute indifference to the needs of the bona fide settler has brought on a condition of near starvation in the cities. Meanwhile Sir Richard looks on with 'calm dignity.' He must have a heart like the Kaiser. I want to farm. I have land close to Hazelton without a trail to it. In 1913 I attempted to clear the land and put some stock on it. But the bear commenced to kill my stock. I applied for a permit to kill the bear but was refused, and told that if I waited 'till after August 31 I could get a license to trap for $10. I was closely watched by certain parties. They would watch a farmer and let the bank be robbed in broad daylight. So much for the act of 1913. The 1914 Act is still woi-se as it protects more destructive animals and birds. The government has systematically persecuted the person desirous of engaging in agriculture and a terrible condition exists in our cities in consequence. The city people should seek to assist the farmers and they will not go hungry. The Conservative steam roller must be smashed, it has ruined the agricultural industry and is driving the city people to beggar^;-'; ; B. D. TANTON.

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. THE REASONS for this enviable condi- 1 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. ID 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.

Ol '' ""��������������� jl fo THE BRITISH RECRUIT���������(continued from page two.) a soldier. Though his kind forced the passage of the Aisne and the Marne, have smashed the Kaiser's picked divisions, and are holding the lines at Ypres, he is only a common soldier, or, what is one degree worse, a miserable "rookie." I have been compelled to correct some people who have spoken of his having a picnic. The "picnic" comprises seven or eight hours of drill every day, field training wherein he learns the business of "mutual support" and attack, lying prone at the firing position in the cold and wet fields, dashing at race-track speed���������with .rifle at the trail��������� towards the point of objective, only to fall into the cover of a waterlogged ditch at a whistle or signal of command. And this war game is" played carrying an equipment 'of over forty pounds in addition to rifle and sidearms! He is called out at night for route marches, his evenings are often stolen by lectures "on musketry and kindred subjects. He is not over-fed,-nor over-paid���������he gets seven .shillings a week and the German press call him a "mercenary"! Yet they are making a live wire of this "1915 Atkins," a man "full of energy and'fire with the soldierly .spirit ingrained in his system. There-are a million such; not a horde, but a trained juggernaut of steel soon ripe for the German sacrifice! So there is a new name for-the "knut", he has become a nail, as all enduring and as tough. And he wants to go to the front, to fight in the'trenches, and to roar and to kill like some wild beast of Valhalla. And even with his small experience he has no fool notion of modern warfare: still, he wants to go,*to see the thing through. His life is offered to the ' Motherland, his days and moments for the period of the war .are at her service. More- over, he will not shrink if perchance the Angel proffers him the "darker draught," or if, by the fortune of war he is maimed for life. Yes, these home-bred English and Scotch will fight side by side with us Canadians and men from the Antipodes and South Africa with equal zest and fire; as much and as fine a body of warriors as their sires of Waterloo and nkerman. And they will get what? A medal perhaps as av souvenir, and which a million will wear, made from the*metal of a German gun: a pound or so as service gratuity; their jobs back again, perhaps? A hundred and sixty acres ? No! There wilL.be a common honor of having served in the Great War, of having fought for principle and right. Still, men fought for principle and right in the Crimea, and mained old. veterans died starving in workhouses or lived to sell matches in the streets. Yet the "knut" (or "nail" as I like to call him) offers his life and services knowing these things, knowing well it is not a joyous venture with the lure of gold, but���������"Simple service, freely given to his own kind in their common need."
