Henry C. Grainger also sends his best wishes to the people of this community. At the time of writing he and Charles Lord were among a draft of one hundred under orders to leave at any time. Mr. Grainger mentions that from verbal statements from returned soldiers, it appears that the fighting in France for the past two months has been most terrific, and that people away from the firing line have very little idea of what is going on. ...It is pleasing to note that all enlisted men from Bella Coola always mention that they look forward" to the day when they will be back to what they term the old place. dians were on their way to South Bentink Arm to engage in hand- logging. Fred King and family occupied one launch and Captain Bobs, Aleck Davis, Nappy, Milo Stauser, Walter King and Billy Andy with family of four children comprised the party in the other launch. Both launches had just turned into the South Bentink, Fred King's party being a short distance in the lead, when Fred King in looking behind saw smoke coming up from the other launch. The launch was on fire. He turned back immediately, but before he arrived on the scene one life, that of Milo Stauser, sum River on Thursday last week. On a trip to his father's farm in the upper part of the settlement he decided to take a short cut, the old road, across the Noosatsum River, a distance of about half a mile, instead of going round the canyon bridge, which is two and a half miles longer. Although he knew the crossing of the river was of a somewhat dangerous nature yet the temptation to save two and a half miles of travel was too strong to resist and he took the short cut.

Attempt to Stop Russian Advance London, June 23���������Official communications yesterday of German Austrian and Russian war offices all indicate that, as anticipated, the Germans are making a determined effort to capture the initiative from the Russian general, Breisinoff, and create diversion by a strong attack on General Kuropatkin's armies in the north, especially in Volyhnia, on Styr and Stokhod rivers, in an effort to prevent Russian reinforcements coming up. Rivers Inlet News. The Bella Bella hospital has closed for the summer and Dr. G. E. Darby with staff is busily engaged at the Rivers Inlet hospital, which is now open to patients during the whole of the fishing season. Mr. E.

The rebels have captured Mecca, the holy city. London newspapers declare the rebellion will have important bearing on the war, especially as regards the participation of Turkey. The uprising is due to the recent wholesale executions of Mohammedan and Syrian notables and well known religious leaders; also the feeling in Arabia has spread that the Turks abdicated their position as protectors of Mohammedans and have become vassals of Germany.

Anderson of the Good Hope cannery, suffering from a dislocated shoulder. All the salmon canneries are now in operation, though the sign of many salmon have not appeared yet there is all indications of a good run this year. Rivers Inlet is among the best Sockeye salmon waters in British Columbia and fish have been canned there for thirty years; without any noticeable decrease in the supply. The fishing nets stolen from the Good Hope Cannery some time ago have not been found. There is great probability that they were taken some considerable time before the loss was discovered, which makes it all the more difficult to locate the thieves. A Tragedy on Water. Last Monday evening about 8 o'clock a tragedy was enacted on the inlet ten miles from Bella Coola, which resulted in the death of one person and some bodily injuries to others. Two parties of Bella Coola In- apparent that he was drowning and efforts were made to pull him in by means of an oar. He grasped the oar, but was too weak to retain his hold and sank. In the mean time Walter King, with great presence of mind, opened a sack of flour and threw it on the fire which had the effect of speedily subduing the flame. The launch sustained very little damage from the scorching, but some of the baggage was destroyed. Walter King received a serious burn on his right foot and minor ones about his head and neck. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and is already discharged from there. The body of the man drowned has not been recovered. Milo Stauser was a youth 19 years old and accounted by the missionary in charge as one of the finest mannered and best behaved of the Indians. He had received some education at the Chilliwack School for Indians. His health was undermined by consumption and it is doubtful if he would have survived another year. As a curiosity it may be related that before starting out on his last trip he had a presentiment of an early death. He told another Indian that he did not expect to return alive from his trip and therefore presented him with his baseball outfit. The tragedy has cast a gloom over the Indian village. Carl Carlson, the seventeen- year-old son of C. Carlson, came very near being the victim of an equally serious accident in the torrential waters of the Noosat- this river'have for several years asked the government repeatedly for a sum of about $200 to make a bridge that would enable them to make this crossing with safety. But although public money is being squandered every year in needless undertakings the petitions of these settlers have not been heeded. Their political influence is not strong- enough to make itself felt. Let us quote a few examples of how the money is spent. Last year, on a by-road a bridge was built right along side of another bridge which was perfectly sound and serviceable in every respect. This was done for the sole purpose of improving the appearance of the road. $200 was spent in slashing a trail to two pre-emptions, which are now abandoned. $200 was spent last spring for the removal of a log jam in the river, this work had been represented to the ministerof public works as being necessary for the protection of the Clayton bridge. To the ordinary observer this log jam had no more to do with the Clayton or any other bridge than if it had. been located in the moon. Works of such character are being carried out at the orders of Mr. Manson, while work actually necessary is being ignored. It is safe to say, however, that the day of reckoning is not far distant when the people of Bella Coola will: show their resentment of such treatment at polls.

The result of the Gosden trial will to all right-thinking people appear a complete vindication of Mr. M. A. Macdonald. The de- ��������� cision of the-jury was eleven for the conviction and one for acquittal of Gosden, charged with perjury. According to the rules in . jury trials this does not constitute a verdict which, in order to ��������� be decisive must be unanimous. Bat in legislative assemblies, in supreme courts and other equally important, bodies, a majority de- .cides in cases of the utmost importance. . Therefore, to all intents and purposes'of clearing Mr. M-icJonald's reputation the trial was decidedly favorable. - The Conservative press pleads that the jury were swayed by partisan feelings; to some ex- ��������� tent that seems to bereasonable to believe-under the circumstan- ces, and in support of that contention it may be stated 'that both the attorney for the prosecution and the attorney for the defense agreed that it would be useless to try the other count in the perjury charge against Gos- ��������� den on account of the difficulty if not impossibility of selecting an intelligent jury destitute of a preconceived opinion in the ��������� matter. . But even so, we fail to see that the Conservatives can derive any satisfaction from the result of the trial.. From that point of view it .'shows that the majority of the :- jury believe the Liberals inno- ���������/ cent of.the charges laid, at their doors by the riff-raff of Seattle, and others equally devoid of truth and honesty. And the opinion of the majority of the jury in this case will prove to be a fair indication of the opinion of an equal- proportion of the electorate of the province in the coming election. the men who have borne the Burdens of development, the men who constitute the bone and sinew of the district, and preferred and taken the advice of men who have very little to show to their .credit, either in performances or possessions. Money has been spent lavishly, but probably half of it to no good purpose, and in reply, to the remonstrance of the writer against this waste Mr. Manson said: "You got the money, did you not?" That has been his position in regard to expenditures here. He did not concern himself how the money was spent if it, only pleased the men from whom he took his advice. ��������� And the result.of Mr. Manson's policy is that he will find very few o"f the settlers whom he has so persistently ignored that will vote for him in the next election. And it is fair to assume he has pursued an ' equally injurious policy both to the community and himself in other parts of the district.- Even if he is honored by his master by the gift of a portfolio, he will find' that the same treatr ment awaits him now whi'clv-he received at the hands of the electors of Alberni when he sought their approval of his appointment as provincial'secretary by MrfMcBride. head of the department of agriculture, yet we most strenuously and emphatically oppose the appointment of a man so entirely destitute of the qualifications needed to discharge the duties of this office as Hon. Wm. Man- son is known to be. He has no education or experience which qualifies him as the head of the most important industry of the province. , - Instead of .being-a help he will be a hindrance to the promotion mention. But now great changes are taking place and others are indicated by the passing events. Probably the most prominent among these events is the great naval battle in the North Sea. It was a defeat of the Germans; although they had the advantage of numbers and position until the arrival,of Admiral Jellico with his grand fleet/when the Germans fled to their protected haven of refuge. This battle demonstrated that the Germans had no surprises in store for their opponents in the way of superior guns or other implement^ of war. It demonstrated th'at Britain is still the mistress qf the sea and unconquerable. ? - A change is coming dver the situation in the Baltic Sea. Hith- j'erto a larger and'almost'uninterrupted trade has been conducted across the inland water between Sweden and Germany. The indications are that this will soon be a thing of the past, because the control of the Baltic is passing from the Germans. This is Mackay Smith, Blair & Co. Ltd VANCOUVER, B.C.

While the importance of agriculture in this province" cannot well be over-estimated, yet we are somewhat dubious about the advisability or necessity of creating a separate portfolio of minister of agriculture- at this time. On the point of economy it is not advisable; retrenchment is the order of the day and therefore we should hesitate somewhat before w^e add to the already too heavy financial burdens of the province.' The-pro- vince has being doing considerable and that not badly for agriculture in times past -under the guidance of'"a-deputy minis- ter arid-would- do equally well in the future, especially, with a man of the undoubted ^ability of Mr. Scott at the'helm. But even if for arguments >ake we concede the necessity of the nature of things defer and submit to his chief in many matters in which he may differ, but where he does not care to make himself offensive by opposition. With the high estimate Mr. Manson has for his own ability and his ambition to show that he earns $20 a day, he may inaugurate policies and measures just as disastrous to the farmers as Ross'-land policy and McBride's railway policy have been to the development of the province., If,' after the Liberals'obtain control of affairs, it shall be decided to continue a separate minister for this department,, let it be sufficiently detached from politics to make it possible to put a man in that position who will be considered both as to experience and education the highest authority on agriculture avail-able. o o o o o The Aspects of the War. ' It has now been a long time since the Courier made.any comments on the outlook of the war. And this lias been because there ish ship Dunrobin to escape from internment'at Lulea, in the northern partof the Gulf of Bothnia, to the North Sea-without being captured, torpedoed or injured. A flotilla of thirteen German ships, ��������� convoyed by a fleet of German cruisers and destroyers, were either sunk or scattered by the Russians last week. ��������� Reports ;are being circulated that a number, of British super- dreadnaughts have succeeded in penetrating the narrow sound between Denmark and Sweden into the Baltic and are now at a Russian port. ��������� The superiority of .the German navy in the Baltic will in the light of these events be found threatened and lost to the extent that it will be possible for the Russians to land armies on German, soil behind General Hindenburg's forces and thus create quite an interesting diversion on the eastern front. It will also make it possible for the Allied warships to shell the German cities pn the Baltic Sea. The good news from the war are not confined to the situation having a salaried minister at the has been no notable changes to on th& sea alone. There are great changes taking place on land, especially on the eastern front, where the Russian forces are rolling onward resistlessly, annihilating, capturing and driving the Austrian armies out of Russian territory. It is said that the Russians have penetrated the Austrian lines on a front 94 miles long, threatening envelopment. The reasons for this success on the part of the Russians are found in the tremendous number of guns and amount of- ammunition in their possession, and the weakeningof the Austrian lines in order to drive the Italians out of their positions. Now the A'ustrians are abandoning their to some extent successful fight against the Italians to stem the tide of the Russian advance, with the result that the Italians have again began to gain ground. At Verdun there has been a collapse in the German offensive caused by the utter exhaustion of their forces.

"The best blood of the Dominion is being spattered all over :he hills of northern France.

"Then the people of Manitoba enacted a state-wide prohibition law with a two to one majority. "Then the Legislature of Nova Scotia met and enacted a statewide law for that Province. "Now British Columbia is planning to oust the disloyal traffic from her boundaries. "In the hour of public trouble whether it be in a municipal riot or whether it be a world-wide war, the first step necessary to success is to close the dirty and disloyal dram shop.

FUR SALES AGENCY, LTD. 54 POWELL ST., VANCOUVER, B. C. HOE Ol Dealers and Trappers \A/HAT person so happy and contented as the prosperous farmer? \A7HAT person so independent? \a/HAT 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 faim produce from Bella Coola Valley canied 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. " ^'---'.iJiJUi&iSsfi NO "RUIN" IN DENVER. Before Denver entered upon Prohibition, on January 1, 1916. many-of the most important "interests" of the city were downcast. The gas and electric- light company had predicted a drop of at least $15,000 a month in receipts; instead, it showed a gain of $10,000 in the very first month of dryness. The banks had feared the change, but the first month of Prohibition saw 2000 names added to their list of depositors and a gain of deposits aggregating $750,000. So on through a long list. It is true that, certain lines of business were hurt. The pawnshops, for instance, never knew the times to be so dull.���������Christian Science Monitor. @ Get "More Money*'for your Foxes Muskrat.

Investors should keep posted on developments by reading the "Courier." The Demands of;the Time. The man who produces one pound of anything of value, the| man who improves the breed of i his own cattle, the man who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before, is adding to the wealth of the nation, to the richness of the country. Not alone is that the ease, but he "is contributing his bit to Christianity and to the welfare of the world. It is given to the farmer and breeder to serve his native land more by his individual effort than is within the power of the ordinary follower of any other occupation. The farmer by his own unaided efforts, except by the gifts of nature, carf maintain his wife and family. No other worker in the world's vineyard! can say so much unless he is willing to go naked and that he and his should often times suffer the pangs of hunger. And the claims upon the -farmer and his fellow, the breeder, in present circumstances are not only urgent but many. There are people who object to the assertion that the agriculturist is making the earth yield its utmost, in tending his flocks and herds with- care, diligence and intelligence, is doing his bit, the same as the man in the trenches. ��������� He is not directly placing his own life in jeopardy perhaps, but he is helping to sustain those who are. He is providirg a good-sized portion of the ammunition. The fault is not in the assertion itself, but in the use that is made of it by the man who has no spirit for the right and who, the probabilities are, is doing his full bit neither in agriculture nor in any other form of industry. There PROVINCIAL ELECTION Your influence and support is respectfully requested. T.-D. PATTULLO. Liberal candidate for Prince Rupert Riding. are possibly men on the land who would be more useful on the field of battle, but one thing is certain if the men who are of value to the soil and to the farm-yard are taken away some means must be found to replace them. Canada's .future lies in the womb of her agriculture. To make the best use of the opportunities that are and will be, to take our rightful place in the world's economics, we must toil without ceasing, we must produce and improve, we must bend all our energies ,to results, we must utilize waste and, amidst it all, we must -focus our eyes upon the future and pay our respects to conservation.

This can be done not alone by industry, but also by economizing; not by hoarding, but by the judicious use of our resources. A truth ever to be borne in mind is that what is wasted by fools is turned into profit by the wise. ' Even in the midst of its campaign of destruc- tion and ferocity, Germany, so word is flashed across the sea, is devoting attention to education and internal improvement and development. Value of Sheep. We note-with satisfaction that our farmers are becoming alive to the importance and value of raising sheep. Several of the settlers have flocks which will form the nucleus of larger numbers in the near future. The present high prices of wool and mutton are sufficient incentive to this branch of husbandry. Those of our farmers who have began the raising of sheep are now so keenly interested and jealous''of every individual of the flock that it is well nigh impossible to buy a ewe in the valley. And this is as it should be. The present abnormal times with war prices prevailing may not be lasting, but it is safe to predict that the wool and mutton market will be high for many years to come. Canada iii 1915 raised only one tenth of the wool, needed'for'home consumption;; United States is a large importer arid will, even if we raised enough for. our own use,- be a customer' who will buy all we can spare. The meat supply of the world is decreasing while the population is rising. This is another factor that will make sheep raising profitable and there is hardly any stock that can be raised and kept with less expense than sheep.
