H A mass meeting to which every ^ime in the Yale district was in- ^yitedwasheldon Thursday night in Hope.' 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. The ministers left en Sunday by the steamer for Vancouver, attended to the wharf by a large Mr. Albert Hammer has been awarded the contracts to carry the mail from Hagensborg to Fir- ��������� vale and Atnarko post offices.

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. The bear was not in a position to defend itself .'��������� but that did not stop Jim from ' taking deliberate aim. at the un-.'' suspecting animal, with the result that two balls laid him low. 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.

' 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.
