"The plain- truth is, there is  only two alternatives open to the  government.

The cause of the gathering was to try and   find  some  means of putting an end to conditions which have become intolerable, the high-h&hded methods of  :y the road superintendent and his  sl: local   foreman   having   reached  :| such a stage as to bring into contempt the administration of the  department of public work in this  I    district.  Treated With Contempt  This dissatisfaction has now become so keen that other towns  which have reniained silent up to  the present, in the hope that something would be done to alleviate  conditions, are now up in arms.  With the aid of some official in  Victoria, the local officers are able  to treat- with contempt any request for improvements.  Delegates to the meeting from  other parts of the riding told of  the waste of public money building roads and bridges thirty feet  from the surveyed line of the  engineers after being notified by  the engineer that they were off  the line.  Maladministration  Items concerning the maladministration of the public works  department in this district mentioned at the meeting would fill a  column, and residents are unable  to understand how the minister  of public works can allow such a  state of affairs to exist even for  a day. &  A large del&gati.n of well-  known citizens was elected to  wait Ion the -government in  Victoria to try and put an end to  this state of things. , A petition  is also being; widely signed for  presentation to the minister of  public worlcs.

Mr. John Jorgenson has returned to Bella Coola after a two  years stay as caretaker and net  boss at the Draney Cannery,  Kimsquit. He intends to make  Bella Coola his home after this,  but as his life at the cannery has  had an ennervating effect on him  he has decided to spend the winter in Minnesota for the purpose  of bracing up. If he returns  more braced up than he is under  .ordinary conditions, he will be  too lively for m. Our advice is,  he had better hibernate on his  ranch at Noosatsum this winter.  Davenport Clayton while spending a day at Buen-Retiro ranch,  in the upper Bella Coola valley  last week, in taking a walk around  the premises, suddenly noticed a  huge bear steering right for him,  apparently on mischief bent, the'  man of leisure espied Mr. Bruin  far enough away to get ready for  action and with two well directed  of their time to come to this place.  .The meetings, at Hagensborg  church were well attended, and  the appeals made to hearts and  minds were eagerly listened to.  The singing of Rev. Fosse was  not only edifying but also entertaining, because of his rich and  well-trained voice.  Rev. Ellingson is well and  favorably known from a former  visit to the valley nine years ago.  lie is a preacher in his mother  tongue and also in the English  language, he is eloquent, forceful  and convincing, and seems to be  gaining with the years.  If the close attention given to  the spoken word can be taken as  an. indication of real hunger and  and thirst after God and his  righteousness, then the fruits of  these meetings will be more love  and peace in the hearts, and  greater willingness to labor in  whatever service God calls us to  perform. To obtain such results  from these meetings was not only  the hope, but also the prayer of  those who planned aid worked  for them.

Jim Holte has apparently never  forgiven the bears of Bella Coola  the assault and subsequent chew- ���������  ing he received from one of their  number a few years ago. We always thought Jim to be a magnanimous sort of a man; but last  Sundays''s episode seems to show .  that he is not< above taking what  might be called a mean advant?  age of the bear family.  Last Sunday as he and Ivor  Westmo  "was   going   down   the  northern bank of the Bella Coola '  river, opposite Grumsfe>]Js place,  they saw bruin on the opposite  side of the river.

Jim  would not skin a bear on Sunday, *  so returned next day and secured  a very fine skin, which he will no  doubt make into a rug to wipe  his feet on.  balls,  from a 401 rifle,  stopped  the animal's career.

Very long. f. After each freslief
it generally is found to have

.Several bridges have been built
across this stream, but one has
no sppn.ef. been finished, before a
flood has, carried it away. The
Government's; expert bridge
builders %have never thought it
necessary*to drive piles for the
piers; and therefore the water has
undermined'the piers, built on the
top of the gravel bed in every in
stance, v The settlers have put in
Thohths of time (without any expense to the Government) repairing bridges and erecting temporary crossings.'   They at one time

friends or grind axes. No man I a��reed that while ' lhe climatc

his fellowmen from every Jcind of
servitude ancf oppression; and
make"'them their owp levers to
raise themselves to better estate.
Citizenship is a duty, and eveiy
man who has a high ideal of life,
who makes it brave and service-
able, has a right to be called a
citizen,-and no other should be
enrolled upon-'the roll vof" honor.
A citizen is a man1 who honors
his city and his nation by-living
right, and doing good. Such a
one regards citizenship seriously.
The duty of .citizenship is com-
* i.
mit.tedt.to each man as a trust* to
i     i -
be discharged 'always for the
common welfare ���and' the higher
purpose/''A "ballot1 is Ho be used

pari of the year.    In the summer
it is boggy, in freezing weather,
hummocks and rsidges of 4ce form
across it;, thereforei the settlers
use this part of the1'road only in
eases of emergency:   They use a
roughly made bridge at the former crossing.    This'is generally
washed away every -fall; but is
always put up again by the same
settlers.'   They have importuned
the road superintendent to aid
them in this work at different
times; but he always refuses, and
in face of his refusal to aid in its
construction, he uses it as oft&i
as the teams in Government employ passes that  point  of  the
road."
Naturally the settlers are growing impatient under suclh treat-
;made   it   most   undesirable for
residence.. 1 - , \ t ��� v
While that is all true'pf the
coast   in   general,   Bella - Coola
>,.     -i -
possesses the welcome exception,
-.
as it has the drier climate of the
interior, -being situated ,60 or 70
miles from the dpen-sea, and.yet,
has the added advantage of being
on an arm of the sea and possess-
ing a very good harbor..
The rainfall is about 30 inches,
being about the same as" Victoria^
and the altitude of the "entire
valley does not exceed* three to
four 'hundred feet, so there is ho
sev.ere cold in winter, zero
weather being the exception.
When the valley becomes better,
known it will prove^'a rstrong
rival to the southern portion of
Vancouver Island in attracting
the better class of home-seekersv
As soon as the railway, that is
now assured, is Completed, it is
the writer's strong belief that the
whole valley will be divided into
Sciurlay, October 12,   1912
small holdings and devoted7 to
fruit t and - vegetables, as ;the-?li-
mate and the soil/are ideal for
r j
"these. ���
i Following the westward trend,
the people who have made a success on the'prairies and in" the
Eastern provinces, are going to
i
"seek these few ideal spots, on'the
coast, for a home where they can
enjoy the agreeable climate, after
spending a few, years of the more
vigorous eastern climate.
The scenery ;of the valley is a
noteworthy feature,1 on either side
the rugged-mountains rise to'a
height of between 5,000 and
It), 000 feet, while through - the
breaks in the ranges glimpses of
beautiful blue glaciers give a
variety to the scene.   ,
Game is abundant in the mountains, ,the'- rugged peaks being
the natural haunt of the grizzly
apd goat. , *  -.
In conclusion, I think the greatest ^drawback to the earlier d&-
velopment of the valley, is the
ease with which a living* can-be
secured. As is always the case
when it takes little effort to live'
the incentive of pushing ahead is
soon lost, and people become conT
tent to do only what is necessary,
and further,-the individual hold-
ings have' been far too large.
One family can handle only a few;
acres in a very fertile valley such
as the Bella Coola.

Macdonald, one of the most ardent advocates of the Federation
of the Dominion, and* it was
largely owing to his efforts that
amongst the nationr. but, there
can be no strength \v\thoutunity;
The lesson to be deduced, therefore, from the above, is, that every
citizen throughout the British

empire as a whole; sinking his
own petty, personal interests in
-favor of the welfare of the community, and remembering that
"United we stand, divided we
