Many men that have done yeoman service to the Bowser political party in British Columbia, at the expense of the taxpayers and incidentlyto themselves, are being discarded by the Brewster government. It ��������� has now come to be activity, competence and service that is re- , quired, the public demands that their work must be looked, after and the person that does not come up to the mark or w{ith a shady record must go.' The Hon.,John Oliver has rid his department of F. C. Gamble and also H. A. Icke. Mr. Gamble was the railway engineer who was supposed to look after the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, and, as is now known, millions of the public funds went to the railway millionaires without any check at all. In fact the late minister, Hon. Thomas Taylor, did not know how his department was run and at the enquiry by a committee of the legislature last session Mr. Taylor professed absolute ignorance of details of the whole work. Mr. Icke was the engineer in charge of the improvements to the Sor.ghees Reserve, for which Mr. Matson ' pulleii down $75,000 as commission for buying the land from the Indians, in fact the taxpayers paid $105,000 in commissions for the buying only. Since then thousands of dollars have-been spent by Mr. Icke, under the direction of the Bowser government, and nothing to show for itoutsideof keepingafew voters . in line. The Hon. John must be com* , mended for getting rid of worth- leas employees' of the public. The minister of public works can well afford to follow the example ��������� of the minister of railways, by forthwith discharging a few road bosses that are still on the job. These men built no roads for the Conservative government and they are not likely to improve in roadbuilding under the Liberal government, therefore we say , the incompetent and unfaithful must go. In this as in other matters delay is dangerous and the sooner the 'government act the better if will be for themselves, and also, the public. O O ��������� O O O ' Be Content and Pay? The .Toronto, Daily News, in which Sir Joseph Flavelle is understood to have been heavily interested, and which as every- mm one knows, is one of the principal organs of the Borden government, had an article' recently on the virtue and patriotism of being content and paying the high prices without complaint as a willing sacrifice to the common cause. But evidently it did not mean that the profiteers should share in the willing sacrifice to the common cause as the company headed by Sir Joseph Flavelle, one of the principal sup7 porters of the Borden government, made a profit of live million dollars on bacon alone last year. This is shown in the report recently made by the commissioner on the high cost of living. The public feel no doubt that other friends of the government have been enabled by its protection to force the people to make proportionate wartime sacrifices. The government has not gained by these things the good will of the people. The government has delivered the public over to the profiteers, and it will have a hard time explaining that it did so to help win the war or because it felt that the people should all make some sacrifice in war time. 0 o o o o The Jobseeking Politician Gets a Shock. The jobseeking politician of Vancouver had a rude awakening when the Brewster government appointed the new auditpr- -general from outside the province. Last session provision was made for an auditor-general as, heretofore, there had been no check on the public business of the province. Most men in the service had'a chequebook, the road boss and all; even a book was printed and supplied to wharfingers., ^This is something; ones in the cities, that has not been explained how it was that wharfingers had to use official cheques of the province. The new comptroller, Mr. A. N. Mowat,-' is a person of, wide his paper the Deutsches Tages experience. He has seen service Zeitung, when he asserts that a in the audit departments of the German offensive at this time C. P. R. and the Hudson's Bay would help the national morale company, being with the latter enormously, but that it is impos- corporation twenty years. In sible to consider such a move in 1915J he entered the service of view of the scarcity of men. the city of Edmonton and his The German critic takes the view wprk there "in the inaugeration that while an offensive might of the pre-audit system was aft- succeed in breaking the line it erwards adopted by the Liberal government of Manitoba. The Brewster government has shown wisdom in obtaining the service of a- person w ho is not tainted with politics, either from the Conservatives or the Liberals' in this province. o o o o o The Vancouver grafters will have to be shown that they must respect the rest of the province. Every set and click in the city would want their man. Thecities have not shown much regard for the outlying parts of the province in the past and they_are.not likely to change their ideas in the future. Get good men where they are to be found, the grafter and the incompetent have had their day, the howl - raised in Vancouver by this class of men will not have any support in the province. The Vancouver Liberals believe, that they should have the say in this appointment as they chiefly elected the Brewster government. The whole province did their share in putting out of power a corrupt government. It'is the duty oi all to support the present government as long as" they deal' fairly by the province at large, and not only by a few disgruntled A Lost Opportunity. 1 Major-General Moraht, the noted German military expert, makes a significant statement in would be an altogether different thing to push such an advantage home. This is in effect an official abandonment of the offensive, for it must be accepted that this expert is speaking of matters within the knowledge of the Teuton command and tacitly, at least, recognized at this time in Germany. The admission is of the greatest importance from a military viewpoint, particularly from the German side. -Such a confession as Major- General Moraht here makes is a complete reversal of Teuton military methods. All Germany's wars, at least all modern Germany's wars, have been won by the offensive, and by the offensive in overwhelming force.

Many men that have done yeoman service to the Bowser political party in British Columbia, at the expense of the taxpayers and incidently to themselves, are being discarded by , the Brewster government. It has now come to be activity, competence and service that is re- ' quired, the publicdemands that their work must be looked after and the person that does hot come up to the mark or with a shady record must go. The Hon. John Oliver has rid his department of F. C. Gamble and also H.' A. Icke. Mr. Gamble was the railway engineer who was supposed to look after the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, and, as is now known, millions of the public funds went to the railway millionaires without any check at all. In fact the late minister, Hon. Thomas Taylor, did not know how his, department was run and attheenquiry by a committee of the legislature last session Mr. Taylor professed absolute ignorance of details of -...the .whole work. Mr. Icke was the engineer in charge of the improvements to the Songhees Reserve, for which Mr. Matson pulled down'$75,000 as commission for buying the land from the Indians, in fact the taxpayers paid $105,000 in commissions - for the buying only. Since then thojsands ot* dollars have-been spent by Mr. Icke, under the direction of the Bowser government, and nothing to show for itout-ideof keepingafew voters . in line. The Hon. John muat be com* mended for getting rid of worthless employees of the public. The minister of public works can well afford to follow the example of the minister of railways, by forthwith discharging a few road bosses that are still.on the,job. These men built noroadsfor the Conservative government and . they are not likely to improve in roadbuilding under the Liberal government, therefore we say the incompetent and unfaithful must ,go. In this as in other matters delay is dangerous and the sooner the ���������government act the better it'will be for themselves, and also the public. . O O O O O ��������� Be Content and Pay? The Toronto Daily News, in which Sir Joseph Flavelle isj'un- derstood to have been heavily interested, and which as every-' ope knows,'is one of the principal organs of the Borden government, had an articlerecently on the virtue and patriotism of be- ing content and paying the high j prices without complaint as a' willing sacrifice to the common cause. But evidently it did not mean that the profiteers should share in the willing sacrifice to the common cause as the company headed by Sir Joseph Flavelle, one of the principal supporters of the Borden government, made a profit of five million dollars on bacon alone last year. This is shown in the report recently made by the commissioner on the high cost of living. The public feel no doubt that other friends of the government have been enabled by its-protection to force the people to make proportionate wartime sacrifices. The government has not gained by these things the good will of the people.' The government has delivered the public over to the profiteers, and it will have a hard time explaining that it did so to help win the war or because it .felt, that the people should all make some sacrifice in war time. , _' O O 0 o The Jobseeking Politician Gets a Shock. The jobseeking politician of Vancouver had'a rude awakening when the Brewster government appointed the new auditor- -general from outside the province. Last session provision was made for an auditor-general as, heretofore, .there h'ad been no check on the public business of the province. Most men-in the service had a chequebook, the road boss and all<; even a book erwards adopted by the Liberal government of Manitoba.' The Brewster government has shown wisdom in obtaining the service of a- person w ho is not tainted with politics, either from the Conservatives or the Liberals in this province. O O 0 o o The Vancouver grafters will have to be shown that they must respect the rest of the province. Every set and click in the city <��������� , <, , would want their man. Thecities r', have not shown much regard for the outlying parts of the .province in the past and they are not likely to change their ideas- in the future. Get good men where they are to be found, the grafter and the incompetent have had their day, the howl-raised in Vancouver by this class of men will not have any support in the province. The Vancouver Liberals, believe that' they should have the say in this' appointment as they chiefly elected the Brewster government. The whole province did their share in putting out of power a corrupt government. It is the duty oi all to support the present govern m c-n t' as 1 on g ' as th ey ' dea. fairly by the province at large, and not only by a few disgruntled was printed and supplied _o wharfingers. This is something;ones in the cities that has not been explained how it was that wharfingers had to use official cheques of the province. The new comptroller, Mr. A. A Lost Opportunity. Major-General Moraht, the noted German military expert, makes a significant stalement in would be an altogether different thing- to push such an advantage home. This is in effect an official abandonment of the offensive, for it must be accepted that this expert is speaking of matters within the knowledge of the Teuton command and tacitly, at least, recognized at this time in Germany. The admission is of the greatest importance from a military viewpoint, particularly from the German side. Such- a confession as Major- General Moraht here makes is a complete reversal of , Teuton military methods. All Germany's wars, at least all modern Germ- any's wars, have been won by the offensive, and by the offensive in overwhehning force. The Austrian defeats in the war of 1866 and the French collapse in the Franco Prussian war were t \ brought about by this system. It was counted upon to win the present war and when the enormous number of troops poured into Belgium and France in August and September, 1914, are considered the German plan of campaign .is clearly revealed.

The Steel Harvest Sown in Verdun Battlefield. 0 "Pr omethus,'' the organ of the German iron trade, makes an elaborate calculation as to the quantity of steel which is now lying on the hill sides around Verdun. According to military reports, it often happened that as many as one million shots daily were fired-from guns of various calibres. If, however, one million shells are taken as the weekly instead of the daily average, .we reach almost incredible totals. Taking the ground fought over as 260 square kilometres, and the average weight of shells as 90 lbs., no less than 1,350,000 tons of steel exploded on the area in question. This weight is sufficient to .load 135,000 heavy goods wagons, and works out at thirteen tons-of steel per acre. Taking the price of scrap steel at $17.50 per ton, we have a crop of steel worth about $225 per acre, a crop which "Promethus" thinks is well worth garnering. The military critic of the Vos sicheZeitung, Captain von Salz mann, says that the Americar, troops will never attain the standard of the, Germans. This it rather a neat compliment from an unexpected source. A man robs himself if he does' not make the best use of his time The most effective way to get rid of this war is to help to win it.

The,count has flown up to heaven in one of his own cruisers, which is seen resting on a cloud bank in the background, undergoing the inspection of a crowd of admiring angels. Count Zeppelin, attended by a committee of cherubs, is being welcomed by St. Peter, who made him a laudatory address, informing him that lie has been given one of the finest locations.

War for them was a sordi'd- business, shorn of all romance; it was merely a scientific'burglary by a very large gang. It seemed to him that reliance on the law of progress, on socialism, ��������� democracy, common sense and industry, or on organized religion, to prevent a recurrence of what was happening, was in' each case alike futile; they would fail again as they had failednow. He knew that this war was forced upon us, but he did not think we had a right to assume that we and our present allies could never be guilty of breaking the peace at some future time���������our past record was not clean enough for that. It was no use trying to change the world without changing ourselves.' We must promote from top to bottom the great reforms in national education which he hoped would come after peace.

Within the time set the mill was turning out thirty thousand feet of lumber a day. The many Bella Coola friends of Major J. M. Rolston will be pleased to learn that he was recently created a chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the French government for his meritorious work with the railway construction corps.

After an absence of just three weeks the Camosun came in Sunday forenoon and stayed all day and a good part of the night unloading merchandise for the shippers and taking on board fifteen hundred cases of the new salmon pack at the Bella Coola cannery. Geo. S. McTavish leaves on the Camosun tomorrow for Victoria. He came north last January to Margaret Bay to assist Mr. R. Chambers in the building of his cannery at that place, and when the Tallio Fisheries Ltd., decided to build their plant here the aid of Mr. McTavish was enlisted and he has been here to assist the manager, Mr. Alfred Jensen, since May. After spending a short time in the cities Mr. McTavish will return to Rivers Inlet where he intends to lay the foundation of a salmon canning- establishment of his own. formed the Courier that the hay crop this year in his section is exceptionally good. Mr. Hober is the local representative for Mark Dumond, the provincial agent for the International Harvester Company. As Bella Coola is an agricultural valley considerable machinery is disposed of by Mr.' Hober for that concern. The Royal Commission to enquire into the salmon fishery conditions in this district will arrive in Bella Coola from the north, according to the schedule set, very likely tomorrow. As far as is known there is no arrangements made for a sitting of the Commission here, though it is expected that a meeting will be held on Monday when cannery operators av.d fishermen will have a chance to place their views before this court of. inquiry. ��� Neat desk blotters are beirg sent free to applicants by the British Columbia Nurseries Co.

Also the chickens will be pleased to know that the big huskies have left for their interior hunting grounds. Likewise the town cows will have a free passage on the public highways without being hindered in their search for green pasture by the wolf-like canine of the red brethren. All around the relief is great. John Shafer, after spending some weeks at the logging camp at Nootum Bay, arrived back in town last week. Logging is now all the go in this section of the coast, all mills are operating and the demand for timber both for lumber and pulp is great, and olithe increase.

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 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 Coofa 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. __=>ii_ <ii. ^a_._^H. .. -_ ._r. .jiJU- ������->��������� .!...
