Soisson was also bombarded during the night. French troops successfully raided the German trenches between Avre and Aisne capturing over 150 prisoners. In Champagne, we delivered new attacks against the enemy positions at Maison de Champagne on a front of 500 metres. Our troops captured all, the trenches the enemy had taken on Hill 185, and penetrated the fortified works on the slopes north of Mamelon. In course of the action we took one hundred prisoners. , France is anxious to have unity and says economic condition must "not cause political unrest during the progress of war.

Encouraged by the achievements of the Red Cross Society the ladies who are interested in church matters have organized a "Ladies Aid Society" with the following officers: Mrs. J. R. Morrison, president; Mrs. A. D. Nevin, treasurer; and Mrs. A. Metcalf, secretary. The great object of this society is the erection of a fine church, on the institutional plan. The ladies propose that in connection with it be a hall, reading rooms and a Sunday schoolroom which can be thrown open to connect with the auditorium of church in case of a large audience. And to cap this ambitious, but by no means unattainable object, a fine bell will be procured the sweet tones of which will prove so irresistible that, according to Mr. Lancaster who intends to ring it, everyone within hearing will answer the call. The first angling for the elusive dollars took place at Mrs. Morrison's home on Tuesday evening. Tea and cake were served at the nominal fee of ten cents. ���������' This evening the ladies of the Red Cross are giving a masked ball. There will, be four prizes given, two for the finest costumes and two for the funniest. It should prove a great attraction. The Red Cross in its short career has already collected the sum of ' $282. A part of this money has been expended in the purchase of a lot of material which the ladies have been working up into such finearticles that when the sale occurs the moneyed men of our town, which means all of them, will outbid each other in order to be the happy possessors of such useful and artistic wares. At the present time the society has at the bank a balance to its credit of $117.00. The activities of the public- spirited people of our town will soon make this place so attractive that the scarcity of labor felt at industrial centres will become a thing of the past here. - Another organization which will prove a means towards that end and a source of entertainment is in the course of being launched. It is to be a ''community chorus" and is in charge of E. Penn��������� conductor, with C. Penh; Mrs.' J. R. Morrison and Mrs. A. D. Nevin as assistants. S. S. Camosun arrived, in-the middle afternoon on Saturday.' The traffic has already began to increase to such extent that it Dr. Sutherland had been away two weeks at Victoria.

Earl Stoessiger had decided that he deserved a vacation after landing such great quantities of fish last summer and consequently has spent the winter in the balmy climes of Oregon. He now feels equal to another effort at the fish. Victor Carlson came back from a two months stay at Ocean Falls. The smell of spring and lure of- the farm became too strong for him and he is now on his father's ranch making arrangements for the production of the .biggest crop ever raised at Noosatsum. The Ratcliff family received another contingent of several persons from their former home in Oregon. < Bella Coola offers attractions superior to those of the webfoot state, hence thisfurtheraddition to the number of our permanent settlers.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life." I think, this verse is held by most Christians as the chief onei of the ,he\y testament, that it contains a simple,* plain stated ment of the Gospel. Those who read this verse will agree that it tells of a plan whereby man may not perish but live constinuously, that it is God's plan, not man's. God lives continuously or he could not help man continually to live. But why does God ever live, and why does man die? Solomon tells us that in the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. Paul says: "For Moses writeth that the man-that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby. Israel following after a law of righteousness did not arrive at that law. And that call have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. He also tells us, as does John, how , we may be freed from sin and obtain righteousness. God ever lives because he ever does right. Man dies' because'he has failed to ever do right. Nothing can last long that goes wrong; It would also seem from Johnj 3-16, that man's plans to do right and live forever had failed, or God. would not have needed a plan to help^man. But he gave his only begotten Son. A Son of God, and therefore God, and those who accept this help from God have a righteousness from God and eternal life. No doubt it was a struggle for God to give his only Son to us, as it would be to any parent to give an only son away. BELLA COOLA AND DISTRICT RED CROSS AND PATRIOTIC FUNDS .

An American syndicate has prepared ulans it intends to submit to the government for the extension of the Pacific Great .Eastern railway into the Peace j River country and for long branch will bring the vast hinterland into close rail proximity with Uiis coast. The syndicate, it is understood, is prepared to go so far as to take over the completion of the present line which is under contract to Mr. P. Welsh, of Foley, Welsh & Stewart. In the outlining of these plans, besides,the development of the fertile land and great resources in mineral, the wheat fields of Alberta and the westward route of grain is being taken into consideration with a view of showing the vast importance of Ifiot (Continued on page 4, column 2.) OILLETT'5 LYE EATS DIRT" SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1917. Railway to Bella Coola. That' another and different class of men is at the head of provincial affairs is ��������� becoming more and more evident as the plans of the government are assuming shape and made public. ���������And that the, change from a lawyer-run " government to a business government is very likely to affect to an appreciable extent even our humble settlement appears from a despatch ,from Victoria, dated March 1. , Some years ago it was the intention of-^Mackenzie & Mann to build the Canadian Northern ��������� ��������� to Bella Coola and make this port its Pacific terminus. This did ���������. not suit the McBride government presumably because there was not a sufficient political pull in Bella Coola to yield the political capital by, which the government could be made stronger; and therefore it did not accede to a business proposition of that nature. And the result was that the road went to the Frazer Valley, paralleling the C. P. R. from Kamloops to the coast, with Vancouver as the terminus. A concession to the bulk of the voters of the province like this would in the minds of the politicians bring them to their support. And it did; but not for long. The - first election after this move.returned all Conservatives members with the exception of two socialists. But a reaction set in and the politicians who thought themselves so shrewd are now utterly discredited and'in a very small minority in the present legislature. .' After the Canadian Northern had abandoned the Bella Coola route, a syndicate tried to get government aid for a road from Bella Coola .through the Peace River Valley. This was,the Pacific &' Hudson Bay -Railway. But, according to the.promoter, the McBride government did not give this proposition proper encouragement, and then the war came on and put a stop to the plans for-the time being at least. But with the Brewster governT ment the welfare of the province as & ��������� whole is rpf.; more concern than the\ strengthening of a political party. And as a result the possibility of a railroad to Bella Coola with its many advantages in comparison with other routes in contemplation is receiving serious attention. The despatch referred to reads as follows: *'"' KIOU 0������l������,������G-������v.l OIMCI.O* W*"* * ���������"Mr* - ETTCOMPANYUMlTj; TORONTO OUT. The Legislative Session. The attention of all who have the welfare of the province at heart will now for a few weeks be directed towards, the legislature now'in session at Victoria. It [is seldom, if ever, that so many serious and difficult problems have confronted a British Columbia legislature as those now awaiting to be dealt with. That they will be approached and hand fed by experienced business men who have a stake in the province, men imbued by courage, and' patriotism should inspire confidence, and, indeed, the indications are that Conservatives as well as Liberals hail the new legislative body as one that will inaugurate a new era in the affairs of our province. The program laid before the assembly in the speech from the throne is quite extensive and "will, most likely, require more' time than the six weeks allotted to tne length of the session. " The defenders of the liberties of the land receive the first attention. A memorial to the fallen will be erected on the old Court House site at Vancouver. Provisions will be made for taking care' of the returned soldiers. With Hon. T. D, Pattullo and Hon. John Oliver looking after the agricultural interests new and improved ways of settling the Jand will be adopted, and measures taken to so develop the agricultural resources that the province will become self-sup porting. The mineral resources of the province will be systematically prospected, which no doubt will bring far better results than the haphazard manner hitherto pursued. < ������ o ' Smelting of the ore, will be donewithin the province, obviat- ing the necessity of sending bur ore to a foreign'' country to be treated. The conservation of the fisheries will be considered and improved; and with the-practical men at the' head of the governr ment this important industry will no doubt receive a strong impetus. , And with Hon. John Oliver as minister of railways it goes without saying that the affairs of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway will be subjected to a strong searchlight in the way of an investigation. Additional revenues must be provided to meet the'heavy outlays of which interest .on debt, sinking fund and payment of interest on railway bonds form the largest part. o ������ O O O Mr.'Bowser certainly is not without a sense of humor, and his stock of /gall evidently has suffered no diminution. He wants to know'why the attorney-general has taken no steps to prosecute those who helped John T. Scott to escape. , Mr. ��������� Bowser was attorney-general when Scott obtained bail and he was attorney-general when that bail was jumped and Scott escaped. Why did he not do something? O O O O O '. There are two parties in different parts, of the world whom Mr. Bowser does not want to see back in British Columbia. One is Sir Richard McBride and the other is John T. Scott. The for- mer would get his job and the latter would get his goat. ���������, '��������� l O i O O O Germany's Evil Nature.

The leading paper in State of Washington, the Seattle Post Intelligencer, has this to say on the evil dpsigns of Germany.to extend the war area still further': "A European peace without' victory, in the light of the revelations of German treachery would be a crime. Germany must be thoroughly defeated and its powers for evil, to the remainder of the world forever destroyed. To permit any other settlement of the present war would be to' suffer a dangerous malefactor, a plotter against thelifeof nations and the people of the world, to roam at will and to,work his evil purpose undisturbed.

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE, OTTAWA, , ' OCTOBER 7th, 1916. < The Soldier and the White ' Plague. A very interesting sketch by a soldier of what happens in a military sanatorium for tuberculosis has just been published by the.Military Hospitals Commission. Rest, unlimited fresh air, and proper feeding of course play a large part in the treatment organized' by the Military -Hospitals Commission; but exercise, carefully graduated, and - interesting occupations are also employed with most valuable results in restoring the patient to- , health and energy of body "and mind. Of the 3480 invalided soldiers now being cared for by the ������om- mission in Canada, 511 are suffering from tuberculosis, besides 91 remaining in English sanatoria. - * All these 605 men were passed by medical officers as sound in -���������wind and limb at the time of enlistment. Some of them, doubtless, in their eagerness to serve at the. front, concealed facts which would have aroused the doctor's suspicions. Others did not know that their lungs were affected. It is often difficult to detect the trouble in its early stages. In 223 of the 605, the disease was discovered before the men had a chance to go overseas. That is, it developed under no greater hardship than' that of camp life���������no more severe than the experience of a hunting excursion in the woods, which so many people undertake as a holiday recreation. What does it mean, this dis covery of 605 "consumptives" even among the picked men who should be above the average in health and strength? , -It means this. The seeds of the disease have been sown in thousands of apparently healthy folk, and simply lie quiet till some' new circumstance' gives them a chance to spring up and attack the body infected by them. Then they, give 'the man a fight for his life. . If there is one thing certain, it. is that the disease can be stamped out. This can "only be done by combining prevention with cure. Nearly all consumptives can be cured, if the-dis'easehasnot been i allowed to get very far. And .the example set by the thorough treatment now given to tubercu- lous" soldiers-should be'followed in dealing with" all others attacked by the disease. So much for the question of the cure. Still more important is the question of prevention. The seeds cannot grow if they are not sown. We must prevent them from being sown. Those who have the disease can and must be taught how to avoid giving it to others. And all of us must learn to avoid those evil conditions of life which allow the seeds first to enter our bodies and then to germinate and attack us. Good ventilation, sunlight, and good food thoroughly masticated and digested- with these on our side we can defy the enemy. Now,' more than ever before, it is urgently necessary to increase the health and efficiency of every Canadian, so .that when peace comes we can make good the waste of life and health caused by the war. Unhealthy conditions of life and labor must be rooted out as deadly enemies of ou-r country's prosperity. Such conditions' exist .both ��������� in town and country, though much worse in town. Governments, municipal authorities, anti-tuberculosis leagues, and all of us as private citizens, should more energetically than ever, perfect the efficiency of the methods used. A little hand-book entitled "Fighting Tuberculosis,", by Lieut. J. R. Buyers, C.A.M.C.;' who has charge of the two sanatoria at Ste. Agathe, has-just been published by the Military Hospitals Commission for the soldiers concerned. Similar pamphlets have been given out by certain local organizations and insurance companies. The .seeds of safety, in such publications, should be spread as widely and cultivated as actively as the seeds of "danger are now being spre"ad and cultivated by our neglect.

The land is fertile and needs little or no irrigation. Tho climate is1 mild and enjoyable ; long warm summers with sufficient rainfall and' mild winters make for excellent crops.

A line from Dunvegan to the coast at a point about Bella Coola by way of Pine pass give's the shortest route of 490 miles. Against this the distance via the proposed.lines and the P. G. E. connection is 968 miles. Also another alternate route via Pine pass and the P. G. E. from Dun- vegan is 868 miles; another is 550 miles and yet another is only 500 miles.

Jottings of Bella Coola and District Ocean Falls News. Encouraged by the achievements of the Red Cross Society the ladies who are interested in church matters have organized a "Ladies Aid Society" with the following officers: Mrs. J. R. Morrison, president; Mrs. A. D. Nevin, treasurer; and Mrs. A. Metealf, secretary. The great object of this society is the erection of a fine church, on the institutional plan. The ladies propose that in connection with it be a hall, reading rooms and a Sunday schoolroom which can be thrown open to connect with the auditorium of church in case of a large audience. And to cap this ambitious, but by no means unattainable object, a fine bell will be procured the sweet tones of which will prove so irresistible that, according to Mr. Lancaster who intends to ring it, everyone within hearing- will answer the call. The first angling for the elusive dollars took place at Mrs. Morrison's home on Tuesday evening. Tea and cake were served at the nominal fee of ten cents. This evening the ladies of the Red Cross are giving a masked ball. There will be four prizes given, two for the finest costumes and two for the funniest. It should prove a great attraction. The Red Cross in its short career has already collected the sum of $282. A part of this money has been expended in the purchase of a lot of material which the ladies have been working up into such fine articles *"hat when the sale occurs the moneyed men of our town, which means all of them, will outbid each other in order to be the happy possessors of such useful and artistic wares. At the present time the society has at the bank a balance to its credit of $117.00. The activities of the public- spirited people of our town will soon make this place so attractive that the scarcity of labor felt at industrial centres will become a thing of the past here. - Another organization which will prove a means towards that end and a source of entertainment is in the course of being launched. It is to be a "community chorus" and is in charge of E. Penn, conductor, with C. Penn; Mrs. J. R. Morrison and Mrs. A. D. Nevin as assistants. S. S. Camosun arrived in the middle afternoon on Saturday. The traffic has already began to increase to such extent that it Dr. Sutherland had been away two weeks at Victoria. She apparently was not aware that four patients awaited her at the hospital, because we noticed that another patient came along witn her from Smith's Inlet who needed surgical treatment. The fame of the Bella Coola Hospital and its^ doctor, is such that this patient passed two or more hospitals on the way here and we know he will not regret doing so. " Our different government officials, Tucker, Fougner and Broughton must take a .look round their respective districts at short intervals to keep things moving smoothly. Arid they seem to succeed well; they never bring reports of riots or trouble of any kind to gladden the heart of the Courier reporter. Earl Stoessiger had decided that he deserved a vacation after landing such great quantities of fish last summer and consequently has spent the winter in the balmy climes of Oregon. He now feels equal to another effort at the fish. Victor Carlson came back from a two months stay at Ocean Falls. The smell of spring and lure of the farm became too strong for him and he is now on his father's ranch making arrangements for the production of the biggest crop ever raised at Noosatsum. The Ratcliff family received another contingent of several persons from their former home in Oregon. Bella Coola offers attractions superior to those of the webfoot state, hence this further addition to the number of our permanent settlers. We and many with us will regret to learn that A. R. Neale, assistant provincial horticulturist has found it necessary to resign from his position.- He has been summoned to take charge of his father's business as his parent's health is failing.

I think this verse is held by most Christians as the chief one of the new testament, that it contains a simple,, plain stated ment of the Gospel. Those who read this verse will agree that it tells of a plan whereby man may not perish but.live constinuously, that it is God's plan, not man's. God lives continuously or he could not help man continually to live. But why does God ever live, and why does man die? Solomon tells us that in the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. Paul says: "ForMoses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby. Israel following after a law of righteousness did not arrive at that law. And that all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. He also tells us, as does John, how we may be freed from sin and obtain righteousness. God ever lives because he ever does right. Man dies because he has failed to ever do right. Nothing can last long that goes wrong. It would also seem from John; 3-16, that man's plans to do right and live forever had failed, or God. would not have needed a plan to help man. But he gave his only begotten Son. A Son of God, and therefore God, and those who accept this help from God have a righteousness from God and eternal life. No doubt it was a struggle for God to give his only Son to us, as it would be to any parent to give an only son away.

Those people who have pointed with scorn at "the war-mad nations who fight against Germany will now at last see that this war is as well justified as a fight against a furious wild beast at large killing people and destroying property would be. The leading paper- in State of Washington, the Seattle Post Intelligencer, has this to say on the evil designs of Germany to extend the war area still further: "A European peace without victory, in the uKnt of th. lations of German would be a crime, t'j. fie revc * treachEr? \j> be thoroughly ,k-feaiod powers for evil ;. of the world for*.- To permit any *.v of the present v,;; suffer a dangi<r,n: plotter against th and the people o: roam at will am evil purpose und; season for allov. to run at large ha riot alarm has and the international policefor������ must be called out to apprehecd adangerous criminal, to preserve the security of i\]i; t-K^ world." and its jL lh,-^mainde,E '"v d^m, ^ A'r **U!euieiit'&������ " w������'������id be to malefactor, j ���������1't''������������������'!* naticrj l'w world, to tlJ 'v������rk & = iurbed.

But a reaction set in and the politicians who thought themselves so shrewd are now utterly discredited aodtin a very small minority in the present legislature. ; After the' Canadian Northern bad abandoned the Bella Coola route, a syndicate tried to get government aid for a road from Bella Coola through the Peace River Valley. This was the Pacific & Hudson Bay Railway. But, according to the promoter, the McBride government did not give this proposition proper encouragement, and then the war came on and put a stop to the plans for the time being at least. But with the Brewster government the welfare of the province is^awhola is ^of^ more concern than the strengthening' of a political party. And as a result the possibility of a railroad to Bella Coola with its many advantages in comparison with other routes in contemplation is receiving serious attention. The despatch referred to reads as follows: time than the six weeks allotted to tne length of the session. - The defenders of the liberties of the land receive the first attention. A memorial to the fallen will be erected on the old Court House site at Vancouver. Provisions will be made for ..taking care' of the returned soldiers. With Hon. T. D. Pattullo and Hon.

Some of them, doubt- is, in.their eagerness to serve the front, concealed facts lich would have aroused the :tor's suspicions. Others did ; know that their lungs were fected. It is often difficult to the trouble in its early jtges. [n 223 of the 605, the disease is discovered before the men a charrce to go overseas. That is, it developed under no jater hardship than that of gnp life���������no more severe than experience of a hunting ex- ion in the woods, which so my people undertake as a holi- |y recreation, 'hat does it mean, this dis covery of 605 "consumptives" even among the picked men who should be above the average in health and strength? It means this. The seeds of the disease have been sown in thousands of apparently healthy folk, and simply lie quiet till some new circumstance gives them a chance to spring up and attack the body infected by them. Then they give the man a fight for his life. c - ��������� f ��������� ���������������������������- ".-������������������ If there is one thing certain, it is that the disease can be stamped out. This can "only be done by combining prevention with cure. Nearly all consumptives can be cured, if the-diseasehasnot been allowed to get very far. And the example set by the thorough treatment now given to tuberculous" soldiers should be followed in dealing with all others attacked by the disease. So much for the question of the cure. Still more important is the question of prevention. The seeds cannot grow if they are not sown. We must prevent them from being sown. Those who have the disease can and must be taught how to avoid giving it to others. And all of us must learn to avoid those evilconditionsof life which allow the seeds first to enter our bodies and then to germinate and attack us. Good ventilation, sunlight, and good food thoroughly masticated and digested- with these on our side we can defy the enemy. Now, more than ever before, it is urgently necessary to increase the health and efficiency of every Canadian, so that when peace comes we can make good the waste of life and health caused by the war. Unhealthy conditions of life and labor must be rooted out as deadly enemies of our country's prosperity. Such conditions exist .both in town and country, though much worse in town. Governments, municipal authorities, anti-tuberculosis leagues, and all of us as private citizens, should more energetically than ever, perfect the efficiency of the methods used. A little hand-book entitled "Fighting Tuberculosis," by Lieut. J. R. Byers, C.A.M.C, who has charge of the two sanatoria at Ste. Agathe, has- just been published by the Military Hospitals Commission for the soldiers concerned. Similar pamphlets have been given out by certain local organizations and insurance companies. The seeds of safety, in such publications, should be spread as widely and cultivated as actively as the seeds of danger are now being spread and cultivated by our neglect.

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. 'A'.r n 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.
