In Belgium, a~d_estructive fire Js directed against the trenches and underground works of the "enemy in the region of Steenstrate. March 14. No infantry fighting today at Verdun, but a continu- hance of heavy artillery fighting is going on all over the front. * German losses around Vaux, Friday and Saturday, surpass all rec- ods3>f the war. The curtain of artillery fire is so heavy that both sidesjare prevented from bringing in reinforcements and therefore th'ejfight dies down. The Germans failure to capture Verdun is causing uneasiness in Austria and Bulgaria. It is reported that the;lCaiser has given instructions that Verdun must be captured atiall costs, but it is a hopeless task. Groups of French aviators dropped 30 shells of large calibre on railroad station at Conplans, setting it on fire causing its total ruin. On account of the German offensive at Verdun, the Dutch-Belgian frontier, which has been closed for several weeks, has now been re-opened south of Maastricht. Comments in Holland are that indications show that the German offensive is now at end. Eighty-one hospital trains of wounded from Verdun passed through Luxemburg yesterday. "^Official war office estimates of the German losses at Verdun are overu?200,000. The French losses are estimated at 40,000. General Joffre presided at the council of war at the army headquarters. It is believed an agreement has been reached by Roumania and Russia by which, if Roumania adheres to the cause of the Entente, Russia will give Bessarabia. .Bucharest, March 14.���������Bulgarians decline to send troops to assist Germany in France.

Six hundred German- guns, were disabled at Verdun or rendered useless by the intensity of the firing; they are being returned to Germany to be refitted before they can be used again. There is much depression on account of the heavy losses.

Government Should Dissolve April 3 Songhees Reserve Deal to Come Up Victoria, March 15;���������The premier is to make an important announcement to the House this afternoon. It has been recently found that thelifeof the present parliament terminates by statute April 3, instead of as'generally supposed next June. Because the law provides that parliament ends that date the government probably realized it to be impossible to complete its program in the two weeks left. A hurry-up conference was held last Saturday when Tisdall, Baird and Dr. Scott discussed the situation with the premier as his local advisers. A caucus was called unexpectedly last night to put the situation before the members as the government had none of its bills ready. It is understood that the assembly has power to extend its term and it is expected it will take advantage of this for two weeks in order that necessary public business may be transacted,' t" .

The Lib- aral club has decided to let the people know that they are in the procession heading towards a better government and a better Jay in British Columbia, and it is believed that all who want to =ee these good things to come- about will be on hand and give all the encouragement' they can. Jottings of Bella Coola and District S. S. Camosun failed to make an appearance last week. The good and loyal Bella Coola people waited with more or less patience for the mail to bring the news of the great battle at Verdun, but waited in vain. On Sunday morning the S.'S. Celtic came in with a cargo ;of freight, and then it was learned that our mail steamer in going son of Mrs. Clayton, left on the Coquitlam to join the forces which battle for their country. He has enlisted with the Pioneers and will proceed to England i at once. Except for the period spent at school he has lived his whole life at Bella Coola. He has, since his father's death, together with his brother been actively en- The missionary boat Thos. Crosby, arrived on Tuesday at noon. It brought the assistant secretary of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Church, Mr. Arnup, and Rev. G. W. Dean, who are on a tour visiting all the mission staftons along the coast. Their stay was very short. After holding a meeting at the Mission Church in the afternoon they held another at the; Mackenzie School in the evening. At eight o'clock the Mackenzie School was well filled with residents of the town. Rev. W. H. Gibson presided, and after a few opening exercises introduced Mr. J. H. Arnup, who delivered an address on the need of prohibi- biton in order to eliminate waste and increase the efficiency of the nation. It must be said that Mr. Arnup is a speaker of the highest order. It is impossible for our dull pencil to do justice to the flow of eloquence and humor which the delighted audience was privileged to enjoy for a time that was entirely too short. Those who were not present on this occasion certainly missed a great deal and have our heartfelt sympathy. Mr. Dean followed with a recital of the history of the efforts made in behalf of prohibition in Canada and was listened to with deep interest. After the program was over, the audience remained and passed a motion that a public meeting be held at the Lower Bella Coola School, Thursday, March 23, at 3:30 p. m. for the purpose of adopting measures to give the people of Bella Coola a chance to co-operate with the People's Prohibition Movement in its work for the adoption of a Prohibition Law in the province. Martin Nygaard of the Manitou cannery, Kimsquit, came in on a launch last Sunday night. He reported things quiet as yet at the head of Dean Channel. He left again on Tuesday morning with his family, which has paid this place a.protracted visit. The Bella Coola cannery is beginning to show symptoms of an approaching busy season. Men are at work overhauling the various machinery and gear. The management has decided to in- stal the sanitary system of canning this season. With this improvement added, Bella Ccola cannery will, together with the Namu cannery, have the distinction of being the only canneries in this part of the district with this up-to-date system. S. M. Haycock, representing the Revillon Furs, Ltd., Edmonton, Alberta, came into town last week after accomplishing the feat of traversing afoot the hundreds of miles between here and Burns Lake on the Grand Trunk railway. He came by the: way of Ootsa Lake and Alcacho, descending into the Bella Coola valley along the Kahylkst river (burnt bridge). In some places he encountered ten feet of snow. Mr. Haycock left on the Coquitlam. In unloading freight, the captain of the Celtic had the mishap to injute his finger to the extent that he had to call on the doctor for surgical aid. During the stormy weather which we are experiencing quite frequently in this blustering month of March, the telegraph lines suffer breakdowns every few days.

Shortly after the ,by-election held in Vancouver, Hon. W. J. Bowser'gave out -a statement I shall be given every opportunity Belated Repentance. In the face of very grave accusations Mr. Bowser has, in the past, strenuously opposed the demand made by the Ministerial Union of the Lower Mainland and others for an investigation into the affairs of the province,, and he has also, as a member of j Che McBride cabinet, refused to call the Public ^Accounts Committee together; but there has come a change over his dreams; since he heard something drop in Vancouver three vve'eks ago he piously declares that Mr. Mac- donald, the Liberal member elect, .P-ft/MQ) crisis that has occurred for 300 ��������� years���������since Cromwell made pre- I parations at Bristol for the inva- J sion of Ireland.

"In the past ages," said Prof- Parkes, "evolution of higher types in animal and vegetable life has generally resulted from cataclysmic changes, and great destruction by plague, pestilence and famine, has led to an ad- nagcirf benefit ��������� vance in, civilization, possible that this Ar may be of ultimate humanity.''

Adversity at the polls has had a chastening influence upon him and.has subdued his confidence in his popularity. When we consider his record and its effect upon the people in the light.of the last election, the statement he made reminds us of the old saying: "When the devil was sick., the devil'- a saint would be; when .the .devil got well,- >the devil a saint was he." .Mr. Bowser said: "I hope and think that/when the time "for the general election' comes, and I "have- a chance to place on the statute books'of the province various suggestions whichT have made, and when the people have had a chance of going over them and of appreciating their effect, after sober second thought that they will realize that all of the sins of omissions and commis- to .investigate in every department of the government; he will, if he so wishes, be placed upon every committee of the-House, the much neglected Public' Accounts Committee included. Mr. Bowser in making these promises assumes the air of the injured innocent party. He says: "If I am surrounded by a corrupt government, then J should be the firs't-to be made aware of it, and I will be ������he first to instiT' tute reforms no' matter on whose head the punishment-may fall." -' Mr. Bowser had every .opportunity given him before the elections-to have the investigations instituted; but he merely scoffed -at the idea of such being rieces- sary"' and' intimated there were only a few malcontents that demanded it, while the great majority of the people were satisfied with his way of conducting the affairs of the country. Mr. Bowser's day of grace has sions which are laid at my. door passed; his opportunity to rein . will be found not to be justified Mr. Bowser is just now whistling in the dark to keep up his courage. He seems to believe . that the verdict of his fellow townspeople has been rendered upon a sudden impulse without due deliberation; that these thoughtless and hasty people will "after sober second thought" ' realize that he is not so bad as - depicted, in fact that he has been maliciously slandered. ' Mr, Bowser says in effect that when the people at the end of the legislative session find how fine the laws are he has placed on the statute books, the,y will see that they have wronged him and will return him to power. It will be to Mr. Bowser's interest 'that he faces the issue squarely in the face and realizes that the best suggestions he can make, even though he places then? on the statute books, will not" make the electorate forget the acts committed "by him'and his colleagues during their reign in power," and that he will b��������� judged-according to them and nothing else. The. voters will not forget the Dominion Trust scandal, the Songhees and Kitsi- lano rake offs, the donation to Dr. .Young, the reckless expenditure of the public funds with-. out prudent restraint, the giving! state himself in the confidence of-the people-is gone. People have not much faith in his belated willingness to allow one man, who is circumscribed by ant-governor called^on him to do so and if'he'has is it not "then necessary to call a general election in order to obtain the sanction of- the' electorate? Under the present circumstances is it according to a popular form of government for Mr. Bowser to draw up. a program, enact them into laws and place them upon the statute books of British Columbia without giving the people an opportunity to express their opinion; ' ' \- - f- Mr. -Bowser has virtually elevated himself to the head of the government and reorganized the cabinet by-dismissing'twomembers; transferring another and appointing three-new ones, of whom two were repudiated at the polls. - , :"?',' - It seems strange that a -man can assume such .authority without'having received the "approval of the electorate. -.. . - We will assume for the'sake of argument that Mr. Bowser made an ideal attorney-general, but but yet might be totally unfit for the position of premier who must have the qualifications necessary for a leader. Poland must pass into German hands. , Now?, during all this period the English government has been working to 'reinstate and root the Irish people in their own soil, rThe ' Congested Districts Board and the Estate .Commissioners have been busilyengaged; great ranches have been divided up, and no fewer than 4,000 evicted tenants-have been restored. Tell me,' as-reasonable men, if th^ Germans are going to treat Ireland differently from Poland? Believe me,"my friends, this is a war of conquest, and the Germans mean to exchange the arid wastes of ������the .Baltic and the lands of Brandenburg for the rich pastures of Ireland.

Not long ago we published the advantages of prohibition as experienced in Seattle during the first month of its trial. The following is quoted from a statement given by Mr. Dewitt M. Evans, police judge at Tacoma, Wash., in regard to prohibition in that city on the Sound. As compared with January, 1914, the decrease in cases of drunkenness in January, 1916, 60 .percent, in vagrancy 74 per cent, ifi disorderly conduct 100 percent and in fighting 100 per cent, or in other words no cases of disorderly conduct or fighting at all! "In addition to these cold facts I cannot help but add a few testimonials. On January 22 of this year I met the police officer that has the beat along 14th and Pacil fie Avenue and "A" Street from, which 90 per cent of the drunk, disorderly, fighting, and petty thieving cases come. He told me thatsince the first of the year he had not seen one case of, drunkenness, brawls, or disturbs ance of any kind on his beat and that the effect of the law exceeded his wildest imagination. "To this I might add the testis monials of dozens of the men to me who I have known voted "wet." They stated that the effect of the law so far has alf ready convinced them that the state should always be dry. The sudden emigration of the under sirable element, petty thieves and vagrants, has exceeded our fondest anticipation. The'tncreased happiness of mobhers and fathers, caused by the moral effect of the law and the fact that pay cheques are coming home in tact the first time for years, is but one of the very material benefits of the law in so short a time. "We in this state wonder why we hestitated so long and whj other communities hestitate tc jive the benefits derived fron" the licenses and profits of the liquor traffic for the much mon grand, moral and financial benefits that we have in so short a time already enjoyed. "Innumerable instances of advantages derived under the new regime might be cited, but I merely give a brief outline of the very apparent results already obtained in a brief time."

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 carried away over twenty first prizes. :d 'ELLA 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. ��������� Home Dairying. ---ID By H.

Too deep a shade is repulsive. ' The proper speed for the churn depends upon its size. That speed which gives the greatest concussion will be the most effective. If the cream has been properly prepared and is at the'right temperature, the churning may be finished without adding water. If for any reason the butter is coming a little tco fast it is advisable "to add, just when the cream is breaking, some water with a little(salt in it, about two degrees colder than the cream. Two,common causes for cream churning too'slow are: (1) too much cream in the churn and (2) the temperature of,the.cream is toolow. When to stop the churn is an important point and it has a threat deal to do with the quality of the butter.. The churn should ,->e stopped when the granules ire about the size of wheat plains. Over-churning" should be avoided as much as under- churning. The buttermilk should bedravvn off as soon as churning is completed. The butter should now be washed and' only pure, clean water should be used. In very warm weather have the water about 2 degrees colder than the buttermilk, and.in'cold weather from 2 to 3 degrees warmer. As to the salting of butter it is suggested that for prints, half to three-quarters of an ounce per pound be used, and for packed butter not more than'one ounce ,per pound.- In creamery butter- making the salting- is done almost entirely in . the churn. If the amount of butter can be estimated it is the best method to follow. Add the salt as soon as the washing water is drained off, sifting on half of the salt evenly over the .butter, then turn the butter over with a wooden ladle and sift on the balance of the salt; put on the cover of the churn and revolve slowly until the butter is gathered into a solid mass and allow it to lie in the churn from ten to twenty minutes before working it. If the salting is done on the worker the 'convenient and easiest to keep butter can be weighed and the clean. Before using, it should salting done accurately. ,'be well scalded with boiling For farm buttermaking, a level: water and then cooled by revolv- butter worker is preferable to a butter bowl for working the butter. In working the butter a sliding or scraping motion should be avoided. When the butter is sufficiently worked it should present a smooth, solid appearance when cut with a sharp ladle, and when pressed between the worker and the ladle the moisture should show in small beads evenly distributed over the cut surface. Butter which has .been salted in the churn ��������� will not need as much working as that salted on the worker. Only fine dairy salt should be used and it should be kept in a clean place, as salt will absorb odours and this may injure the flavor of the butter. PACKAGE. If there is any one thing that needs improvement in the dairy butter business it is the package. For local trade there should only be one package, the brick-shaped one pound-print, wrapped neatly in parchment paper. It is much more economical to buy a good printer than a poorer and cheaper kind. CARE OF CHURN. The barrel churn is the most ing a few minutes with cold water in it. After churning, a pailful of cold water should be put in the churn and revolved to wash out any butter that may be in it, then thoroughly scald it with boiling water and leave it open in a clean, dry place. A little salt sprinkled in the churn after scalding helps to keep it sweet. We strongly recommend washing the churn occasionally with hot lime water to keep it sweet. IN GENERAL. To get thel>est results in farm dairy work:' 1. Keep good cows. 2. Fued them liberally. 3. Keep them comfortable and clean when in" the stable., 4. Skim a rich cream. 5. Keep thQ cream cool. 6.
