"Artillery ccrr.tat begun in-sector north of Arras has been retarded by very thick fog. Supplementary reports in capture of Neuville, St. Vaast, established the fact that the north-east section of village and the .mallfort which enemy had erected- there were defended with extreme obstinacy. It was only by a struggle foot by foot from house to house that our infantry took possession of the entire position. Germans did not retire until last extremity had been reached. We found in houses, passageways and cellars, upwards of 1000 Germans dead. In region of Hebuerne we captured from enemy on June 8 six machine guns. In Champagne, in region of Beausejour, more than a battalion of the enemy attacked our trenches, but were everywhere repulsed. A number of dead were left on the ground. On heights of Meuse, notably at Le Esparges, there was a violent artillery engagement, in the course of which our guns reduced to silence the batteries of the enemy." fltalians Show Great Bravery &Rome, June 10.���������Official statement.

In endeavoring to bring the Indians up in the way they should go it is rather interesting to note what measures the Indian Department will take to accomplish this result. On [this tiip it was found necessary to bring three sacks of ordinary Bella Coola soil to China Hat to make it possible for the Indians there to utilize some seed sent by the Department, as there is no soil to be found on that rocky shore. Mr. Fougner intends to return in about one week. Fred Covey and A. Wood, who are logging ori South Bentink Arm, paid our town a call last Wednesday. They laid in a stock of supplies for the next month's stay in the solitudes. ' The catch of spring salmon in the inlet has been very satisfactory since the season opened.

Walter Ratcliffe of Stillwater, a lake situated 45 miles frcm salt water. The party found several log jams and beaver dams obstructing the river and interfering with the passage of the salmon to the spawning grounds. They removed all these obstrctions both in the main stream and some of its branches. They went up in canoe to within six miles of the lake, above that point the river was too swift for canoeing. It may be of interest to our readers to learn that twenty miles from the lake down the stream, there is a stretch of as fine a body of agricultural land- as any in Bella Coola. The upper part of the valley is three to four miles wide. The land is interspersed with beaver meadows, and the rest of the land will be found of easy clearing. The lake is four miles long and only half a day's journey distant from Kitlope, on Gardner channel. A stick-Indian trail leads to the Tetachuck country. Large game, such as bears and goats, is abundant. The Courier extends its sympathy to Mrs. Chas. Tucker and Mrs. C. Charlton of the loss of their only brother killed in the war. Mr. A. G.

The Courier is pleased to announce that it is now definitely settled that arrangements have been made by which the Draney Fisheries, Ltd.. will operate their canneries both at Kimsquit and Namu during the coming fishing season! The threatened closing down vof these establishments would have been quite a blow to our community, as a great many of our local men are employed both in connection with the canneries and logging camps of the company.

The opinion among those who are well qualified to judge of the management of affairs entrusted to him. may be gathered from the following extract of a dispatch from London to the Ottawa Free Press: . "I find among our soldiers widespread indignation in respect of the 'attacks upon Lord Kitchener.. It. is.logically urged that had the matter been really meant patriotically, properly serious representations in the right quarter would' have been sufficient to call attention to the matter; or failing that, a-plain public statement, requiring no sensational headlines or the egregious harpings upon the already loudly strummed- cord, would have amply awakened the public." The complaint is beihg*made, and justly, that the-British supply of munitions' have not been adequate to the tremendous requirements; and Lloyd George in -his famous speech at Manchester the 4th inst. declared that the German victory in Galicia was due to an overwhelming superiority in equipment, and that if the Allies in the west had been as well equipped-the, Germans would,long ago have been driven from France and Belgium. Both Lord Kitchener and Lloyd George have, not long ago,'called the attention of the British public to the shortage of munitions in no unmistakeable terms and EATS DIRT" 1UMl etfOM 0.

We'are very glad to note in one of our exchanges that the system of co-operation which we advo- , cated in the issue of the Courier * of the 22nd ulto. is recommended by a committee of Canadian'agriculturists which has made" a trip to North Dakota.to investigate this way of carrying information to the farmers and organizing them under the leadership of the field agents for their, rnutual benefit. Mr. Geo. A. Merrick of Winnipeg, announces the result of their investigation in a Jengthy report in which he states in part as follows: "Itour unanimous opinion'that the better farming campaign be- put the blame bit. the employees in.the munition factories; that their. indulgence, in liquor and consequent incapacity was the main cause; and as a remedy Lloyd George' proposed that the sale, of li.quor be^curtailed and intoxicants'abstained from during the war."-/But the British public was riot ready for a patri- otic'mfiasure of this nature. It is willing to~ sacrifice fortune, health and life in war but will riot deny "their appetites. It is themselves on record that they would not abstain. The British, as well as the other warringnations, have made great sacrifices and they were asked to make another���������sacrifice did we say? Is it a sacrifice to a person to abstain from the use of alcoholic liquor when the country's need demands it? It could be no sacrifice to any one but to the sot. It is not only those in the field, and those whose loved ones have gone there, who must learn that the seriousness of the war is such that all must make sacrifices, from the king to the humblest individual.' The success or failure'of the conflict rests with people as much as with Lord Kitchener. Let each one do his share, and a little more. willing to concede that petty and malicious faultfinding should be abandoned; and even the just criticism of matters past and beyond remedy should be avoided., j We believe that good Conserv'a- . tives ought to join the Liberals in calling attention to evil practises wherever found. Both Liberals and Conservatives should stand united in urging the punishment of all wrong doers. No government will be able to eliminate graft entirely; but all good, clean governments will disapprove of.it, and punish the guilty parties every time, irrespective of rank'or previous service. And if they do not do that they should not complain if they be criticized. One way to allay party strife during these stormy times is to copy the plan, adopted in Great Britain namely: to form a coalition government. This would be the patriotic and statesmanlike way of treating a situation in which there should be no party lines, but concord. Let us all join hands, cut down ���������the running expenses of administration to the lowest notch, and strive for the husbanding of our strength and resources to the one great end, the preservation of the Empire and of every noble principle it defends.

A Plea for Peace. Every little while we notice the: Conservative papers complaining that the Liberal journals do 'not refrain from criticizing the different Conservative governments, and they remind their Liberal opponents of their arguments in condemning an election during the war. While we endorse the principle that party warfare should cease at the present crisis, yet we are of the opinion that corrupt methods and. grafting should not be allowed to go on without attention being called to-them," even ��������� if there are other' and seemingly more pressing things to attend to.

The catastrophe in New Brunswick has seen print and need not be explained again now, but Sir Richard McBride's misfortunes in British Columbia are still wrapped in a certain amount of mystery. It seems that Sir Richard was challenged to a test of strength by his grand vizier, Bowser., When the caucus showed twenty-one to twenty-one in the matter of an election which the young Premier had set his heart on, Sir Richard realized that his kingdom had been divided, called for his horse, metaphorically, and rode away to London to see his friend and ex- amplar Winston Churchill, who once advertised him as having "the seal of high destiny on his brow." Rumor has it that Bowser removed the seal and. that Sir Richard would be quite satisfied now to become agent-general for British Columbia in London with a fair salary and opportunities to indulge his taste for the best English society. In spite of reports to the contrary Sir Richard is not a rich man. All he got out of politics was a good living. He is the Immortal Boy, takes no thought of the morrow, spends his own money that way, and adopts the same policy toward crown lands and railway subsidies. It's the Irish generosity in him that makes him as free with your money as he is with his own��������� that and a faith in human nature which leads him to accept the word of land-grabbers and subsidy hogs as being good as their bonds, which isn't putting too high a value on it at that., At any rate the rare old, fair old golden days of dream surpluses with a backing of promissory notes are pretty well over in British Columbia and Sir Richard is looking around for another job. Sir Richard is no hand at financing a deficit. Bowser makes a better fist of it. Being orignally a Bluenose he can face a blue outlook better than Sir Richard, who is a typical son of the Pacific Slope. Still he was the bright little morning glor\ while he lasted. Externally SirRichard modelled j ! himself- on Sir Wilfrid Laurier, \ copying his hair and his clothes 1 and other outward and visible : signs, but when it came to copy- (Continued on last page.) i __ ijhj.i������___i.. iiiii���������iTfrrrr'*'*,*J*"''''ir���������g,"''f'>'^3a,1*,***������������������"a I Patronize Home Industry SYNOPSIS OF COAL MINING REGULATIONS /"���������OAL MINING K1GHTS of th- Dominion, in ^ Mani'ioba.

AA7HAT ambition more noble than to be a producer of the necessaries of life? Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. HTHE 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 cariitd 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.

On one occasion, he learned a German officer came charging at the head of his men into an English trench. Leaping over the edge of it he fell into a sea of black mud, from which he picked himself up, black and dripping, and exclaimed: "What a confounded nuisance this old war is, isn't it? " Whereupon a Tommy, about to run his bayonet through the intruder, burst into roars of laughter and made-him a prisoner instead. "And the Tommies are philosophers too," writes the Frenchman.
