Sir,���������Among the recent improvements noticeable in your town is the hotel which is now under the management of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Jacobsen and Mrs. P. G. Noot. In the past the hotel has not enjoyed an enviable reputation, especially among the travelling men who have generally, after a short stay, expressed' much displeasure of the accommodation and treatment received. We, who have signed this letter have been guests of the hotel since the change in management and wish to express our surprise and pleasure of the treatment received at the hands of the ef ficient management, who are sparing no pains to make everything as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

A commercial traveller, a subscriber and admirer of the Courier, has handed us the following item for publication, the sentiment of which it is needless to say we heartily endorse:1 Is the Courier Worth While? This is a question which was under discussion during the past week among some of .our townspeople. The following speaks for itself. A traveller representing one of the large business houses of the province had the* following to say in favor of the Bella Coola publication. Returning home one evening he looked over the latest copy of the Courier and on perusing it iound a news item announcing that one of our large up-coast industries was about to commence operations on a large scale;, Acting on this information he proceeded to the head office of the concern and in due course landed some orders for his firm which were worth while, the direct result of a live news item from the Courier.

Burtch, representing the Remington Arms-Union Mettalic Cartridge Co. had when here two weeks ago, just completed a trip through the interior of B. C. (not including the G. T.

Unusual lumbering activity caused by the marked shortage of lumber on the prairies, has been the means of opening up mills that have .been closed for the last few years.

It is not possible at this writing to ascertain the total number of grandchildren and great grand children; in Bella Coola alone his descendants number 2 children, 16 grand children and 52 great grand children, making a total of 70 persons. His funeral took place yesterday from Fosbak's residence. Rev. H. Sageng officiating. Our public spirited residents of the town, both ladies and gentlemen, gathered at the Mackenzie school on Wednesday evening to discuss the celebration of Empire Day. The meeting organized by electing C. Carlson, chairman, and C. Tucker, secretary. Great unanimity prevailed throughout the whole of the proceedings. It wasdecidedlhat there should be two committers, one on sports and another on le- freshments. As a committee en sports the following were elected: W. E. Gallienne, chairman, Theo. Livelton, C. Tatrie tand Robert Grant. As the Red Cross committee expressed through its president, Mrs. Clayton, its willingness to take charge of the serving of refreshments it was decided to turn this part of the "work over to that committee. Chas. Tucker was delegated to get the grounds in readiness for the occasion. The meeting 'then adjourned. It is confidently expected that the different committees will attend to their duties in a manner that will ensure to the people a successful and enjoyable celebration. A concert in honor of our visiting soldiers will be held at the Hotel Hall this evening. The admission will be free; but a collection will be taken up for the benefit of the Red Cross Society. Ole Fosbak, who had the distinction of being the oldest person in Bella Coola, died at his son's home on Wednesday the 10th inst., in his 98th year. He was born in the Bardo Valley in Northern Norway in the year 1818. He emigrated to Red River Valley, Minnesota, where he took up land and spent over thirty years as a successful farmer. Since 1910, he has resided with his son in this valley. During the last years of his life he suffered from the infirmities of old age, but had no actual sickness up till the moment of his death. The last day of his life, he spent as usual with the rest of his family, walking about and enjoying his meals. The next! The work of rebuilding the Bella Coola bridge has been completed and the bridge is again open totraffic. Under the able superintend- ency of Thos.

Elsewhere in this issue is published an appeal for subscriptions in aid of an aviation school to be established in the province, presumably at Vancouver, for the training of ayiators for our armies during the war. After peace has been declared the school will find a large field of work in training men for the aero service to be organized for the defense of bur coast. Mr. M. A. Seymour, the author of: the article referred to, and Mr. Carl -All, V Vancouver, made Bella Coola a call last week and succeeded in impressing very, forcibly upon our mind the great importance and need of such a school at this time* total population have departed for the scenes of wart / This is as it ought-to be, but let us not get weary in well doing. This opportunity of. serv- ing our land and the cause of | freedom is now upon us and'may never come to us again. Let us therefore remain equal to the occasion and continue to contribute, even from scanty means, to this cause which in its entirety is in the world's history the greatest of causes. Prominent men of Bella Coola have signified their willingness' to undertake the work of raising a sum in our valley for this school proportionate to our ability and patriotism. Some of the most foremost men in patriotic work in the province are at the head of this movement and isasufficient guarantee of the necessity for it and also its successful issue. We believe Bella Coola will lineup with" the rest of the province in this work. NO ALUM The Vancouver Election Frauds. The investigation into the alleged election frauds iri the Van- coaver by-election is progressing fused. These _._ M1C UIJiy in its nauseating way. Both the grounds the Conservatives have Liberals and the Conservatives for claiming that the Libera] are accusing each other of being members of the legislature op- trip, nnrfioa -ml-i^ /-.-.^v.,--. _ ^ -.-,... ^ ings against parties accused of illegal voting at this particular by-election. But the Conservative's as represented by the government are opposed to the1 courts handling the case and succeeded in Having a parliamentary committee appointed by.the Conservative legislature to investigate. . The Liberals, through their members in parliament, proposed this committee should investigate violations of the election-laws at the Victoria-election also. This- the government re- is on a par with an expression of Mr. Bowser's, made some years ago to the writer, that he did , not care much for the rights and wrongs in a certain case; it was the votes he was after. Although Mr. Bowser claims the frauds to be investigated were on an enormous scale, yet he has not much faith in the ability of the courts of the land and officers of the law to deal with them. Their method of dealing with this sort of crime does not appeal to our simon pure but thoroughly dis credited government. f������y 13, ,9 Mackay Smith, Blair & Co Ltd VANCOUVER, B. C.

The aviators are fittingly called the eyes of the army; as a blind didate From the reports in our exchanges of the appointment of the parliamentary committee and the testimony produced, it is hard for us to believe the .Liberals posed the investigation. - Their's was a criticism of methods not opposition to the investigation itself. As the government-has" two lawyers on the committee the Liberal members asked permission, to engage legal counsel to_ assist them in the examination of witnesses. This the government refused and the premier, the;highest legal'officer in the sovernrpent, tookr.this oceaSio���������ted by all who know-the facte to ask the astounding question, " that if the Liberals had clean Liberal candidate, who was said to be -./wet" as opposed to Mr. Tisdal who was "dry". They came to Vancouver to help defeat prohibition by/voting the Liberal ticket.' Anybody who is at all acquainted with the situation knows this must be false. If there was any prohibition issue involved in that "election the Conservatives were certainly favored by the liquor, element and' the Liberals supported by the Prohibitionists. . It is admit turned out it is worthy'of note how suddenly after this by-election Mr. Bowser yielded to every request of the Prohibition Movement. Mr. Macdonald was at no time considered to be the "wet" candidate. And for the same reason it is safe to assume that the liquor element would under no circumstances help the Liberals in their alleged efforts "to get "repeaters"* imported from Seattle to.carry the.election for their candidate.

And a province-wide canvass is now going on to raise this amount. The appeal should not be made in vain. We are living at a time when the country calls for supreme sacrifices from her citizens.

Paris' absolute protection against Zeppelin raids is because of her immense flotillas of aeroplanes; and London's de- fenselessnessisdue to the lack of a sufficient number of machines. The defensive value of the flying machine, however, for coastal protection was unsuspected; yet it has attained such a position that the British.Admiralty has stated that three . aeroplanes have the same utility of defense, at a fraction of the cost, as a large battleship. The only rational answer to an attack by Zeppelin is by aeroplane; even against an attack by warship, the aeroplane is the best defense. These will become more and more the chief means of coastal protection and is very significant to Canada and especially to* British Columbia, with her thousands of miles of uninhabited and vulnerable coastline.

The efficiency of the- flying service increases with the growth of the personnel. To keep the service manned, with its ever- increasing strength, means a continuous supply of trained men and Canadians have shown that th6y are made of the material which constitutes a good flying officer. The only men the British government recruits for these services are those who have a pilot's certificate' and then to further their usefulness gives them four, months of strenuous training. But they must first obtain this certificate at a private school at their own expense; the government reimbursing those who arc successful. There is no school in British Columbia or Canada, and the tuition fees of the British and American schools ranging as they do from $350 to $600, exclusive of travelling and living expenses, make this training impossible for the majority o>\ young men in British Columbia.. The B. C. Aviation School -is] being organized by the Aero Club; of B. C. for the purpose of supplying this deficiency. Already,, before the school has been an- nounced as a certainty, the Clut has received 150 applications of men willing and anxious to serve their country in the flying service, but unable to stand the high, cost of the preliminary training. The Club, therefore, aims to establish the school on a patriotic basis and gives this training at cost or about $100, but they cannot do this unless sufficient funds are subscribed to purchase the equipment. It is expected that the school will have 5 machines with three qualified instructors. Courses, have been arranged in wireless, navigation and the mechanical construction and operation of aeroplanes and their motors. The Club has arranged that the men will Le tested and examined when ready and will be sent over to England at the expense of the government as soon as they have qualified for their certificate. The Aero Club is appealing for about $20,000 for this purpose; their aim is purely patriotic, but differs from the usual patriotic effort in that it is constructive ind not compensatory. It has. the definite constructive object of creating a source of trained men as a valuable asset to the Mother Country and of providing training facilities for the young- manhood of this Province. The demand is imperative and immediate, it is a military and naval necessity. The man material is abundant and now the opportunity is here. The Club appeals to every serious thinking man and woman in the Province for their support in a splendid patriotic movement.

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 ; Jong 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. 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. uinbia.
