With this assurance cam* a further declaration that the Canadian Pacific would not send its fleets through the canal even if there were no question about its right to do so, because the company's officials could see no advantage to be gained by changing their present routes across the Atlantic and Pacific. TryingTo Get Benton's Body Washington, March 4. ���������The American Government is exerting every influence at its disposal to obtain from General Villa the surrender of the body of William Benton, the- British subject recently executed at Juarez. No reply has been received to the questions sent to Consul Letcher to find Benton's grave, and Secretary Bryan was surprised by news dispatches quoting Villa as saying Benton was buried in Chihuahua City. There have been persistent reports here too that the body was cremated. Will Insist on "ShowDown" by G. N. R. Federal Government Not Inclined to Grant Aid Ottawa, March 5.���������Sir William Mackenzie is still liere and his presence keeps alive rumors in regard to the C. N. R. loan. Most of the stories are nothing but rumors. Only a few main facts are known; firstly that the Canadian Northern want assistance of some kind; secondly that no formal application has been made to the government; and thirdly that both the government and the private members of Parliament will insist on a complete "show down" on the part of the Canadian Northern before any further aid is granted. They will ask that the C. N. R. show exactly where it stands, financially and otherwise, so that the public can know the real situation. Should Submit Measure to the People The open hostility towards further guarantees being made for the benefit of Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann, is based upon the principle that a bargain is a bargain. When Premier McBride asked for and received from the electors ratification of a guarantee of $35,000 a mile for the Canadian Northern Railway Company, he gave absolutely no intimation that any further demands would be made. Now that further demands have been made he ought in all fairness and justice to submit them to the people.

Mammoth Steamer Launched Belfast, March 5.���������The launching of the Britannic, the 50,000- ton triple screw White Star liner marked an important development in construction so far as engineering ingenuity can ensure it. The Britannic, intended for the transatlantic service, had only been laid down when the Titanic disaster occurred, and the plans of the new liner were almost completely remodelled. The Britannic is 900 feet long and the largest British steamer afloat. London, March 5.���������Rumor is now busy with the nameof Prince Alexanderof Teck, Queen Mary's brother, in connection with the Governor-Generalship of Canada. It is understood Prince Alexander will visit Canada this summer with Lord Brooke, heir to the Earl of Warwick. Yukon Included in the Premier's Western Trip Ottawa, March 5.���������Everybody expects that some time during the summer Premier Borden, accompanied by one or more ministers, will visit Western Canada, going to the coast and possibly as far as the Yukon, never yet visited by a Canadian premier. Mr. Borden's last western trip was in 1911. Jottings of Bella Coola and District Six bridge carpenters arrived from Pritte-e Rupert yesterday. They will-be' employed- on the construction of the large bridge over the Bella Coola River on which work has already commenced under foreman Ellison. This bridge is to be completed this summer. S.S. Camosun made her usual weekly call at this port on Sunday morning. Among the many passengers for this port were, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Sutherland, Messrs. B. Brynildsen, R. Ellison, G. McMillan, I. Olson, G. K. Burnett, K. Brink, P. Berg, C. C. Pattison, H. Fress, Mortimer and Professor Bestul. Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland return from their wedding tour in California and have taken up their residence at "The Shack." Mr. B. Brynildsen is back from his annual visit to Vancouver and Victoria. Mr. Brynildsen had the privilege of attending the Liberal convention held at Victoria, and returns prepared to carry on the Liberal campaign in this district with renewed vigor. He reports that Mr. H. C. Brewster, the Liberal leader in the province, has definitely stated his intention of touring the Northern Coast in the near future, and that Bella Coola will certainly be among the places visited. Mr. Brewster will in all probability be accompanied by "Honest John" Oliver. Announcements will be made indue course through the columns of this paper. Mr. R. Ellison is the new bridge foreman in charge of the construction of the new bridge over Bella Coola River. A camp has been established adjacent to the bridge-site and work has already been commenced, " G. K. Burnett, B. C. Land Surveyor, is engaged in sub-division work adjoining the town. K. W. Brink and P. Berg have returned from a visit to Norway. While they both assert that they have had an extremely enjoyable holiday, yet they both express their pleasure at being back in Bella Coola. The outgoing passengers by the last south-bound steamer included Messrs. E. Frank, F. Lu- ellen, Ben May and G. Dagg. Mr. Frank spent last week in town on business and expects to return in the course of a week or two. F. Luellen left for California where he intends taking up his residence. Ben May of Bella Bella left for Vancouver on business. Harry Kivett, of Firvale, visited town on Wednesday last. Peter Messick and John Nelson came in from South Bentick on Wednesday. In times past the hand-logger in this neighborhood has had extreme difficulty in obtaining the license necessary to enable him to follow his vocation. In the first place, he probably did not know where or to whom to apply for it, and in most cases eventually lighted on the government agent at Prince Rupert as being the right and proper person. This official, if he deigned to reply at all, usually gave the logger distinctly to understand that his office was no place to which to apply, for a hand-logging license, limiting his informa* tion to that brief remark. Then followed a series of enquiries here and there by the logger, with the result that it has taken months for men living in and around Bella Coola to obtain a license, if indeed they succeeded at all. It looks likely, however, that this state of affairs is about to be remedied. Mr. W. McCrae has been appointed official timber scaler for a new district between Cape Caution and Millbank Sound. In addition to his duties as scaler, he will also.define the logging limits for the hand-logger, report on the quantity of timber, etc., and so assist the logger to obtain his license. This will remove some of the difficulties experienced in the past. The proper thing would be for the official on the spot to have authority to issue licenses, but this much cannot be expected all at once. With telegraphic communication and with its central location Bella Coola might well be selected as headquarters for Mr. McCrae, who, given an office here and a competent assistant to act in his absence, and with full authority to issue all licenses required under the Forestry Act, would always be available when required by any of the large number of loggers who operate on the neighboring coast. A meeting of the subscribers to the Bella Coola Hospital was held on Wednesday last when the following persons were elected to serve on the Board for the ensuing year: President, A. C. Christenson; secretary-treasurer, Capt. Thorson; M. B. Christenson and R. N. Levelton. Medical officer, Dr. W, Bavis. It is the intention of the new board to adopt a vigorous policy in regard to getting the hospital into running order, and also to have some work done on the hospital grounds. Many of our local friends will deeply regret to hear of the death of Mr. William Roxborough, which occurred at Vancouver on the 26th ulto. Mr. Roxborough at one time held the position of manager of the Dominion Government hatchery at Rivers Inlet. No man was more highly respected by those who knew him during his twenty- five years service in the capacity of fishery overseer on this Northern coast. Faithful to duty, simple and noble in character, his peer is seldom met with in these ages. Among those at his bedside were Messrs. Phibbsand McTavish, who were closely associated with the deceased ?at Rivers Inlet. ;.:' We have also to record the death of another pioneer of the fishing industry on the Northern coast, in the person of Mr. Bartholomew Stapleton, formerly manager of the Inverness cannery, who was interred at Victoria on the 25th ulto. ;.;���������;.. fflljurrl5_Nnttr������ Public Worship of God. ��������� Sunday School - 2:30 p. m.

ONLY THE "FAITHFUL" SHALL WORK. The pronouncement by Pr. Patterson, president of the Vancouver Conservative Association, that none but fully-fledged Tories need apply for any government- job in Vancouver, seems to have come as a shock to many, people. , Sir - Richard f eltj impelled to rebuke Dr. Patterson for his lack of; discretion, and at least one Conservative organ has virtually ruled him out of the party. ���������Will :he resign ? Not at all, nor has it ever been intended that he should. . There isno'doubt that Dr. Pat- .terson told the plain bald truth,' and ;what vexes Sir Richard is that he should have made public the great secret of Conservative machine organization. ' While Dr. Patterson no doubt made a bad political .''break," yet it is absurd for. the people to appear shocked at his brazen announcement. For years all over the province the same policy has been in effect. We know of cases in our own immediate neighborhood where i men have been forced to join the Conservative party in order to obtain a job on public works. . We know men, and we say this unreservedly, who have never voted Conservative in their lives, who in their hearts are thorough Liberals but who have joined the Conservative clubs for jobs. If any doubt this let him count the votes cast at the local polls at the last/'electiQ^^^et him see what happens at the next election. The membership roll of, the locai Conservative club is well padded with the names of men who are not even British subjects. They belong to one of two factions who are constantly fighting between themselves and accomplishing nothing of benefit to the place, Yet, they are fully fledged Tories and are, and will be, given preference over the man of twenty years residence in the place be he not a member of the club. Take the matter of jobs on public works out of politics and there would be no Conservative clutis in Bella Coola Valley today. Sir Richard is displeased with Dr. Patterson, but will he decline to place the responsibility of distributing party patronage in the hands of the organization of which Dr. Patterson is the head. Just wait and see. What Does It Mean? An article in Vancouver World of 26th ulto. under the heading of "Might as well offer work in darkest Africa," contains information of great interest to the people of this valley. The article deals with certain correspondence between Mr. Parker Williams, M.P.P., and Mr. Sam Atkinson, superintendent of the bureau which the Associated Enforced Idle or Unemployed conducts in Vancouver. Mr. Williams, writing to Mr. Atkinson, says that he has not been able to bring the premier's promise (in regard to finding employment for the enforced idle) home to him owing to the almost continual absence of the premier from the floor of the House. Mr. Williams goes on to say that Sir Richard has evidently found out that Mr. Atkinson has discovered his (the premier's) intention of FINDING WORK FOR VANCOUVER'S UNEMPLOYED IN BELLA COOLA, and concludes with the remark that since the fare from Vancouver to Bella Coola is $14 th������ premier might as well find work for men in Dahomey, which is Africa as everybody must know.. Are we to suppose that public works of such magnitude are to be undertaken in this locality as will necessitate the importation of hundreds or thousands of laborers from Vancouver. If there is to' be more work than' the members of the local Conservative club can handle, why not give some of the bona- fide residents a chance. Surely a man honest and straightforward enough to refuse to sacrifice his personal opinions and convictions for the privilege of gaining preferment over his equally deserving neighbor, might reasonably be expected to do an honest day's work. Sir Rjchard has said that public works will be curtailed, particularly in the north, and now we hear that Vancouver's unemployed are to be found work here. It may be that on account of the independent stand being taken by the largest and most influential section of the local Conservative, party, that Sir the fa in Richard considers that they have got out of hand. Possibly, in order to bring these insurgents to time, Sir Richard has decided to treat them as if they were mere Liberals, and therefore do not deserve the wherewithal to sustain life. What a harvest for the treasury of the Conservative club. Vancouver's unemployed (numbering many thousands) at fifty cents a head. o o o o o Unfair and Illogical. It is difficult.to conceive of a more illogical bill than the act to amend the Trades License Act. The taxes which it imposes are not in any sense proportionate. There is no principle in simply naming a number of particular trades, professions and occupations and imposing a tax on every person therein. This doe,s not cover the ground at all. If revenue must be raised by direct taxation, it should certainly bear upon each person in proportion to his ability to pay. The principle in vogue in the province of Quebec is based on the amount of rent the individual pays for the premises wherein his business is conducted. As a general rule the rent paid by any person bears a fixed ratio to his profits. ' A person doing a small business and paying say $500 per annujn rent, should not be mulcted in the same amount as a person or corporation doing an immense business, and occupyingpremises at a yearly rental of $5000. Transient traders and hawkers could be taxed a fixed amount. It seems absurd to tax alawycr $50, a wholesale merchant $100 and a druggist $10 without any regard whatever to the earning capacity or the size of their business. A man running a six-horse packtrain is required to pay $5 every six months, regardless of what his earnings are. If this man should also want to act as a guide to a party visiting the interior country he must take out a separate license for that privilege. If, in the winter time when there is no packing or guiding to be done, should he wish to make his winter's expen ses by trapping he is stung again to the tune of $10. Meanwhile, since the abolition of the poll tax, the Jap, Chinaman and Hindoo who are thronging our logging camps, canneries and sawmills get oft' scot free. If the provincial government is forced to resort to direct taxation, then let such taxes be imposed on all classes proportionately as to their ability to pay. o o o o o Our Enormous Burden. When Sir Richard McBride's bill to further guarantee the bonds of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway, to the extent of $10,000 per mile on 511 miles of its main line, has received the approval of the legislature, the total liabilities of the province of British Columbia on account of this railroad will amount to $121,000,000. Some Conservative newspapers would have the people believe that the province is only responsible for $47,975,000, seemingly overlooking the fact that the interest on these bonds as well as the principal is. guaranteed. The province is as much responsible for one as the other. One government organ says, "Thisslast guarantee will make the total amount" of Canadian Northern bonds guaranteed by the province (exclusive of interest) $47,975,000, with probably some more to be announced in a day or two." Can this be true? If so, the piiblic may just as well abandon all hope, for the province is already mortgaged to the point of bankruptcy should anything go amiss with the Canadian Northern' Railway. It is high time the people of this province frankly studied the position in which, they are placed by'the McBride government and seriously considered what the end is to be. With the loan of $10,000,000 approved at this session, British Columbia's debt will amount to $18,000,000, and the minister of finance has stated that other loans will have to be made from time to time. Yet, in the face of this immense burden, the people are forced to share with the Cana- PROJECTED ROUTE OF THE PACIFIC & HUDSON BAY RAILWAY.

The head of this railroad corporation is now at Ottawa asking the federal government for $25,- 000,000 for the completion of its system.' Should Parliament refuse to be again held up, which seems likely, can anyone doubt but that it will be most serious for the railway company. How serious it will be for this province is not 'difficult to imagine. No wonder that faced with such overwhelming obligations the government is rushing through measures to tax trades and businesses, which have never before, in any part of Canada, been levied upon except by the municipalities. And the end is not. Was it not the late member for the Islands, who, in a burst of eloquence, predicted the early approach of that happy time when direct taxation in this province would be no more. Alas! Not only is direct taxation hijrher than ever, but the government is borrowing $10,000,000 and proposes to further guarantee the bonds of the Canadian Northern to the extent of an additional $12,000,000. o o o o o Sam Hughes will rescue the Empire in the North Sea with his motor boat navy.

A recent return of parliament ^giving the number of dismissals during the first three months of the govern men t's tenure of office, in addition to the 1,100 dismissals in the P. 0. department formerly reported, gives the following information. In the Inland Revenue department there were 110 dismissals without investigation and 167<Sippointments; in the In- teriorSTpartment, 200 dismissals; imtnejGustoms department, 340 >disrmssais ; Labor department, , 32,S'smissals. Total during the .first three months, as far as reported to parliament, 1,800 dismissals. The other departments still haye to be heard from Free Trade and Big Trade. The statistics for British trade for the year 1918 are now complete. Imports for the year reached the amazing total of $3,- 850,000,000; exports were $2,625,- 000,000. There never before was such exceeding growth in British foreign trade. Within ten years imports have increased 35 per cent., and exports have nearly doubled. At the same time there has been unprecedented development of the home trade, creating as a consequence an enormous demand for labor. This is not a bad showing for a free trade country- Toward the end of the year the worldwide slowing-up of business began to put a check on the rising tide of industrial and commercial activity. Great Britain was the least of the great nations to feel the weight of depression. No other country was as well prepared to meet the inevitabe,reaction that follows upon a breakdown of commercial prosperity. "Whatever be the fate in store for British industries in the coming year," says a prominent London writer, "the position is at the present moment incontestable better than that of their continental rivals.", In other words, "Protection does not protect," asthe people of the United States know to their sorrow.���������Philadelphia Record.
