Christian, of * they'd "IST. P. whaling fleet, made a lucky and unusual haul to the Naden harbor station last week, landing a right whale, a species now very rare, especially in these waters. This particular speci- *;." men is valued at about $20,000. vV, The right whale is particular- ^'ly valuable for his whalebone. ' It yields many tons of it and the quality is particularly good. This������is the first right whale caught in these waters in several years??- m A Friendly Porcupine Prince Rupert, July 9.���������A porcupine wandered into a Fulton street residence the other evening, walked.upstairs and finally climbed to the top of a partition in a suite of rooms. It appeared ^guraeasby the principle of getting as'high as it could in this world. TKe^-resident of the house, a colored man, thought it wise to get a gun, for he is not familiar with the shy and succulent porcupine. More moderate counsel prevailed, and the little stranger was finally captured and is now living in a kennel. ��������� "Ah will keep him for the fair," remarked the captor. To Speak Across Atlantic London, July 9. ���������"Mr. Marconi contemplates being able to t e 1 ep'h one from Carnarvon, Wales, to New York, before the end of this year," was the statement made by the manager of the company in testifying before the Dominions' Royal Commission on Imperial communication. It was added that Mr. Marconi also anticipated increasing the speed of the wireless telegraph to 300 words a minute. General Election Said to Be Likely In Coming Autumn Ottawa, July 9.���������The Evening Free Press says: "A general election is likely to be held in the autumn. "It is understood that the Dominion government urged the Ontario administration to bring on the recent election for the purpose of testing and confirming the sentiment in Ontario. They are well satisfied with the result, and feel that they can make an appeal to the Ontario electors successfully in a federal contest. "It is known that Sir Robert Borden has been urged by financial interests to bring on the Dominion contest as soon as possible, because they fear that continued hard times may make it exceedingly difficult for the government to come back should they go to the country after their full term. "It is understood here that Sir James Whitney is likely to enter the Dominion senate shortly, and that Sir Adam Beck will take the Ontario premiership. "Hon. W. J. Hanna is to enter the Dominion government, taking the place of Hon. T. Crothers, who will take a judgeship. Mr. Crothers is anxious to leave politics because his health has not been so good, and because he has found the administration of the labor portfolio exceedingly distasteful." Prince to Sail in October London, July 9.���������Prince Alexander of Teck will leave for Canada early in October and will probably pass the retiring governor in the St. Lawrence. Oil Specimens From Graham Island Prince Rupert, July 9.-���������A Sib- bald, who has interested himself extensively in Queen Charlotte Islands, has brought over some specimens from the oil fields on the west side of Graham Island. He shows some of the tar found in the creeks and the oils and stones. He is endeavoring to interest local parties in the field, having great faith in its possibilities. There are two companies now sending drilling outfits in and by fall Mr. Sibbald predicts they will be showing real oil flows. Mr. Martin Coming Soon Vancouver, July 9.-���������Word has been received from Hon. Joseph Martin that he will arrive in Vancouver to take up permanent residence on 25th inst. He has declined another nomination for the British House of Commons. Great Floating Dock Near Ready Prince Rupert, July 9.���������It is expected that the Grand Trunk Pacific authorities will have the big drydock at Prince Rupert in operation before the end of the present year. The completion of this great work will mean much to northern British Columbia and especially to Prince Rupert. This rapidly growing city will have a new industry this coming winter. Many of the big coast steamers that have hitherto been compelled to make their headquarters elsewhere will be overhauled in its harbor. It will be able to boast of the largest floating drydock on the Pacific, with an' equipment including every up-to-date device for handling ships up to 20,000 tons. For a city that dates back only to 1906, when the Grand Trunk Pacific's staff of engineers made a landing and clearing for the location of their camp preparatory to making the preliminary survey, this is a record of progress that it would be hard to rival. Henri Bourassi on Home Rule Says Mass of Canadian People Are in Favor of It Silver Pick Mine Bonded Skeena Crossing, July 9.���������W. F. Brewer of Hazelton, has taken a bond on the Silver Pick mine, a promising galena property on Nine-mile mountain. The claim, which is located a mile and a half from the Silver Cup, is to be developed this season. The owners are Ben Peterson and Sperry Cline. The price has not been made public. London, July 9.���������Mr. Henri Bourassa has a lengthy letter in the Times concerning the recent cable from the Times' Toronto correspondent, which said, "The mass of active and aggressive Imperialists in Canada sympathize with Ulster. It is they who have kept the flag flying in North America." Mr. Bourassa expresses the opinion that, excluding on the one hand the Orangemen and the "group of financiers who waged with flag in hand so successfully against reciprocity," and on the other the Irish Catholic element, the mass of Canadian people can be fairly divided in proportion, two in favor of Home Rule against one opposed to it. Last Spike August 15 Prince Rupert, July 9.���������Mr. Collingwood Schreiber states that the driving of the last spike on the Grand Trunk Pacific is to take place on August 15th, when either the Duke of Connaught or Sir Robert Borden will officiate. $2500 For Fair Building at Prince Rupert load of supplies for his camp, only to get orders to quit work at once, after he had spent some $1,500. Foreman Hoage and Graham can each hold out for a few days longer, when road work for the season 1914 will be at an end. ('Out of the appropriation of $14,000 voted for roads and trails there has been spent not more than $5,500. What about the remainder? It is the same old story of a big appropriation not spent. Mr. Martin Christensen, the well known general merchant of Hagensborg, who visited town during the week, reports that there has been no perceptible decrease in trade at that place. The local farmers are busily engaged in harvesting their hay. The recent showery weather is causing some anxiety but has occasioned no loss so far. Prince Rupert, July 9. ��������� A grant of $2500 toward the construction of the Prince Rupert agricultural hall will be made by the provincial government, Mr. Wm. Manson, M. P. P., having received a letter to this effect. Jottings of Bella Coola and District S.S. Camosun arrived in port early Sunday morning with the usual consignment of miscellaneous freight for the cannery and local stores. Among the passengers for this place were Mrs. Robt. Holt and two children. Mrs. Holt, who resides in Alberta, is visiting her mother, Mrs. J. Nygaard. The outgoing passengers included R. A. Teebay, Frank Robinson and Frank Burroughs who were bound for Safety Cove. Calvert Island, where they will be employed for the next five or six weeks on government work. Mr. C. S. Brown, late teacher in charge of the Mackenzie School, has accepted the offer of a more remunerative position at the high school, Vernon, B. C, and expects to leave here in the course of two or three weeks. While we shall be extremely sorry to lose Mr. Brown from our midst, we congratulate him on his new appointment. Reports from the local cannery state that the run of sockeye salmon during the week has been most satisfactory, heavy catches being the rule rather than the exception. This year's pack to date exceeds that of any former year and there is every indication of a very successful season. As regards Kimsquit, no information has come to hand as to how the two canneries operating at that place are succeeding. It is with some surprise that the people of the valley find that road work, which was expected to last for some months yet, is closing down. Foreman Draney has closed down and will only resume, after haying, to spend some $350. Foreman Svisdahl at Hagensborg had little more than got nicely started when he found his share of the appropriation, about $800, gone and had to close down. Foreman Johnson, in charge of the work in the Upper Valley, came to town on Monday for a The Columbia Herald of Houl- ton, Oregon, publishes a clipping from the Courier in regard to an excellent sample of meadow grass from Mr. Gyllenspitz's ranch. After making mention of the extraordinary growth and the date the grass was cut, the Columbia Herald asks the question of its readers���������Can Oregon beat it? In some matters Bella Coola may be somewhat slow to move with the times, but this certainly cannot be said in regard to the musical education of our youths. It is not so long ago that the proud possessor of the only piano in the valley was the envy of his neighbors. Now, however, that the settlers have been able to establish comfortable homes and live in moderately luxurious circumstances, the old-fashioned organ is rapidly giving place to pianos of the most approved makes. For some time past the importation of pianos has been steady, as many as four arriving by one steamer. Mrs. D. C. Balfour, an accomplished pianist, visits the town every week-end. imparting instruction to quite a large number of pupils. Hard times have not seriously affected Bella Coola and at the conclusion of what is hoped will be a successful fishing season another period of piano purchas- can be looked for. With hard times in the cities it would seem a good opportunity for some live firm of piano dealers to look well into the business prospects of such places as this. Mr. D. H. Hoage of the Crossing, also came to town on Wednesday for a load of supplies for the road camp in that neighborhood. Lloyd Robinson, J. Chadwell and Chas. Taylor pulled out for the Upper Country on Monday. They intend to do some prospecting and will probably make through to the Cariboo country. The departure of Mr. Taylor leaves the town without a barber. There will probably be a big demand for safety-razors for a while. A party consisting of Messrs. C. D. and F. M. White, P. Hanson and H. Gustavson, of Houl- ton, Oregon, Julius Olson of Portland, Oregon, and Jes. Hendricks who is well known locally, left town early Wednesday morning for Skowquiltz River, a tributary of Dean Channel, where the Hendrick Bros, and other local prospectors have some very promising placer-gold claims. Several of these gentlemen visited'the claims last year, but were debarred from making anything like a thorough investigation of the ground owing to the lack of facilities and difficulty in getting in supplies. Mr. Olson, who has had vast experience in placer mining, hopes to be able to prove the ground this summer, and is confident that if warrantable sufficient capital to operate the claims will be quickly forthcoming. Considerable excitement is evinced locally in regard to these gold prospects and Mr. Olson's report will be anxiously awaited. ' Mr. Frank Ratcliff of Atnarko, paid a brief visit to town on Wednesday last in connection with some legal business. Mr. Ratcliff reports that his brother Walter and a small gang are at present employed on the construction of a small bridge on the trail close to Atnarko. W. Robinson and T.

Mr. Bowser Comes to Judge Oar Worthiness. Attorney-General Bowser and Hon. W. R. Ross, minister of lands, have started out on a tour of Northern and Central B. C. The purpose of this tour, according to the Coservative press, is to enable Mr. Bowser "to get fully into touch with Northern affairs and conditions, to- meet the people and find out personally the worthiness of the various demands made by the.Northern districts on the government." So Mr. Bowser is to be the judge as to the worthiness or un much money the government. will have to spend to save themselves from utter defeat. The people Mr. Bowser will meet to seek his information, will be his political agents and machine bosses in the different parts of the several constituencies. The men who have the distribution of local patronage. These are the people that Mr. Bowser will undoubtedly consult. It is so much safer than meeting the common people. How disheartening it will be for Mr. Bowser, should his minions give him a full and true account of the situation "particularly in the North." The only disturbing feature about this, tour of the North by Mr. Bowser is, that he will probably come to the conclusion that the government should, hang on to. office until the full term has expired, as he cannot help but see for himself that his government can never hope to regain the confidence of the electorate. United States to come through with the money for the protec- of their creditors. When the people had recovered from their amazement they would undoubtedly have pronounced him crazy. Echo Answers Why. It appears that owing to a hitch in the agreement between the Canadian Northern promoters, and the Ottawa government in regard to the conditions on which the securities guaranteed by the government are to be disposed of, Sir William Mackenzie is raising money in New York to I tide over the situation until such time, as the difficulty is adjusted. Sir William can be safely depended upon to hand the obligation over to the public to whom it belongs as soon as an agreement is reached. The thought naturally arises, if he is able to raise money in New York for interim purposes on his own security, why did not the government insist on him doing it before, when contractors, equipment supply firms and hosts of other creditors were pressing for settlement? when as a matter of fact, unless the fishermen happened to be British born, they were denied the right to'fish until they had paid for their presumption in coming to Canada by living on! their savings plus pure air and mountain scenery for three years. Under such absurd regulations it is little wonder that our fisheries were; being controlled by Japs. Should this report prove to be true, there is no reason why, with encouragement from the provincial government, there should not spring up thriving settlements of fisher-folk on this coast, which would mean the absolute elimination of the Jap. >> Pledges His Personal Fortune John Claflin, head of the great dry-goods firm which passed into the hands of a receiver a couple of weeks ago, has pledged his own personal fortune of ten mil- I lion dollars for the protection of uim������*ui -������ h.s creditors> This action on his worthiness of any request from .partwU1 probably tide the,affairs over and will prevent serious loss the North on the government. At the same time it is admitted that he is completely out of touch with conditions in this part of the province. For instance, fancy Mr. Bowser coming to Bella Coola (of course he will not) and after spending at the most one day in our valley, condemning one of our most needed requirements as an unworthy demand on the government He is going to meet the people and find out personally. We would like to know what our affairs have to do, with Mr. Bowser personally? We have a local representative whose duty it is to ; meet the people, study their requirements, and to make their needs known to the government. Are we to understand that Mr. Bowser has no confidence in our local representative? It certainly appears that way to us. It was generally understood that the visit of Mr. Griffith, deputy minister of public works, to various parts of the country was for-expressly the same purpose. ;it": would appear that he ' did not stand very high in the ���������estimation of Mr. Bowser either. Again we read that Mr. Bowser will inspect the Grand Trunk Pacific. The thought comes, what will he do if he finds it does not suit him? Will he have it fixed or build another road alongside? That the ministers have a purpose for making this tour there can be no possible doubt. Nor can there be any doubt as to . what their.purpose is. , The fact is that Messrs. Bowser and Ross are making this personal inspection of the field to find out for themselves what the conditions are, and what and perhaps ruin to many. How different with Sir William Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann. When their enterprise, the C. N. R., was practically insolvent, did they pledge any part of their personal fortunes, which greatly exceed those of Claflin, to protect their creditors ? Well, no, not exactly. They merely demanded that the-people do the pledging, and the people through the government elected by them did so. ��������� Imagine John Claflin, with ten million dollars salted down, re Good News���������If True. The report that the Dominion Fisheries Department has revised the regulations to permit of the issuance of gill net licenses to bona-fide settlers on the land whether they be British subjects or not, will be welcomed by many settlers in this neighborhood, who, desirous of following their natural vocation, were prohibited from so doing until they had become qualified for naturalization by a three years residence in the Dominion. There have been numerous cases of this kind in Bella Coola. Men have taken up land in the valley, many of them expert fishermen from Norway, only to find that they were prohibited from fishing for three years. Conservative politicians have boasted loud and continually of ���������" The Old Countryman. The first issue of "The Old Countryman," a weekly paper published in Vancouver, came to hand last week. The new publication is distinctly original, and the numerous breezily written articles evidence an admirable spirit of independence. The Courier extends greetings to the newcomer and trusts that its life may be long and prosperous. o o o o o The Prince of Wales, a dispatch says, had a narrow escape recently.

Inconsistency. We wonder of the thousands who are attending mass meetings and shouting themselves hoarse about the exclusion of Asiatics, how many would be prepared to make a solemn vow and declaration never to buy even a few vegetables from one of these gentry. It strikes us that the question of whether the Jap, Chinaman or Hindoo should or should not be admitted to our shores would soon solve itself, if, deprived of non-oriental patronage, Mr. Oriental was made dependent entirely on his fellow countrymen for his livlihood. One moment we wax wildly enthusiastic in regard to exclu-j sion of Asiatics. Nothing but a white Canada will satisfy us. By and by we grow hungry and straightway take .ourselves off to a restaurant employing a dozen Chinese. Next we go home and change into clean linen straight from a Chinese laundry.

It is very apparent from the way the British in vestors are receiving Dominion of Canada loans that they do not heartily approve of Finance Minister White's, methods of national financing. Canadian municipal, provincial, and industrial bonds are having better receptions in London than Dominion issues, which should be considered the very best possible investment. Of the last four loans issued within the past year, aggregating $85,000^000, less than twenty per cent, has been subscribed by the public, whereas the Alberta issues for instance have been oversubscribed.-���������Medicine Hat News .s^^S&^-K" always gives satisfaction Better order a bag aow From ALL GOOD GROCERS THE Manufacturers of all kinds of .MM,,.m kinds of MOONEY BISCUIT ������-��������������������������������������� & CANDY CO.

It has been laid down by the civil tribune of the Seine that the air belongs to the landowner as far as the tops of trees and buildings; This is in opposition to the English legal theory, which gives the landowner rights over the air above .his ground to an indefinite height. But the French decision is clearly grounded on common sense, and it is almost inconceivable that now that aeronautics has become a practical science the English theory can be long maintained. In the case in point the landowner sued three airmen for disturbing his game, destroying his fruit trees and generally being a nuisance to him. He has won his point, and damages presumably adequate���������they amount in all to ������100 ���������have been awarded to him. In England at present a landowner, could apply for an injunction to prevent airmen trespassing on his air at all: and as the law stands it could not be refused. But it is one of those rights which would inevitably be destroyed if any general attempt were made to stand upon them. The Market At Our Doors. Despite Tariff Barriers Canada's Exports to United States Increased Last Year by $33,348,991. Government trade statistics for the past fiscal year are decidedly embarrassing to Conservative arguments in regard to the ' 'No-truck-or-trade-with-the Yankees" propaganda. During the fiscal year, exports to the United States totalled $200,459,- 373, a gain of no less than $33,- 348,991, as compared with the preceding twelve months. Despite the refusal of the Conservatives to take advantage of the American efforts to let down the tariff barriers and give the Cana~ dian farmer freer access to the marketof 90,000,000 people, trade has continued to steadily increase even in a year of comparative depression. Even with the tariff barriers still up against Canadian wheat and oats and fish, Canada sent last year to the United States wheat to the value of $6,891,624, oats to the value of $6,802,403 and fish to the value of $6,644,- 365. Canada sent animals to the amount of $8,518,012 across the line during the last fiscal year. The Canadian farmer and the Canadian fisherman may realize from figures like these what he lost when the reciprocity agreement was turned down.

The first year's operations under the government's boasted reciprocal trade agreement with the West Indies did not justify the boasting which was done in the government press when the agreement first went through. The returns of the Department of Trade and Commerce for the fiscal year which ended March last, show that Canadian trade with the 'West Indies amounted to $4,354,849, a decrease of $1,- 662,281 as compared with preceding twelve months. Exports totalled $4,770,2000, an increase of only $41,998; With the reciprocal agreement in force, there has been ah actual decrease in trade of over $1,600,000.
