Inducement Offered Greece to Enter War London, Oct. 21.--Great Britain has made a formal offer of the Island of Cyprus to Greece as soon as Greece undertakes to intervene in the war on the side of the Allies. It is believed the offer will create an excellent impression in Greece since it is an actual present concession and not a mere promise, which Germany might suggest would never be carried out. \vi-v Fougner returned after a six weeks' holiday spent viewing the wonders of the Panama Exposition and visiting friends in California and Washington.

The lecture at the Colony Hall was not the only event at Hagensborg last Saturday. ' The Ladies' Aid Society of the lower part of the valley had its annual sale at the hall. The weather had conspired against the success of the undertaking. But the spirits of the ladies in charge rose to the occasion and with the persuasive appeals by the auctioneer, Mr. P. Lauritson, the sale netted $118 Refreshments were served free of charge on the well established theory that man is more tractable when his appetite is satisfied.. R. O. Jennings, road-superintendent, has accomplished the seemingly impossible. He, together with H. G. Ariderson, F. Broughton and V. Clayton, has within the space of nine days ascended the mountains, following the winter trail, visited Ana- ham Lake, and went as far as Tudestan; then returned and explored the wilds of Stillwater and Lonesome Lakes, travelling some hundreds of miles on horseback. He enjoyed the trip immensely, and so did his companions, with one exception, and that was Mr. Jenning's horse. . It must be conceded it bore its heavy burden with christian fortitude and patience, hoping against hope that its weighty load would roll off; but it didn't. Mr. and Mrs. Jennings left on Mr. Sutherland's launch Impala last Wednesday for Bella Bella. PATRIOTIC ENTHUSIASM AT FLOOD TIDE In spite of a steady downpour lasting nearly all day and" in spite of the resulting muddy roads and a threatening sky, the people of Hagensborg and vicinity, with quite a sprinkling from distant parts of the valley, gathered at the Colony Hall last Saturday evening to listen to a lecture on "Why Great Britain went to war." Mr. P. Lau.itson in a few well chosen remarks introduced Mr. C. Carlson, the speaker, to a crowd which had known him for a number of years. It is not within the province or limit of this account of the meeting to give a synopsis of the speech which lasted nearly two hours into the greatest war in history. The speech concluded by the audience singing the national anthem. But this did not have the usual effect of dispersingtheaudience. The chairman in an eloquent speech, amid almost continual applause, expressed his satisfaction with the recital of Britain's story and asked the audience to express the same sentiment.by rising to its feet. Which was done under a fresh outburst of applause, then someone proposed three cheers for the speaker, which was given, and then three cheers and a tiger for the Allies.

The reason for this long delay may not be found in the lack of interest or willingness to contribute on the part of the public, but, rather in a lack of interest shown by the different resident physicians in charge. It is not intended to intimate this lack of interest to be a reflection upon their character or ability, but rather a result of an unpromising outlook for a wider field of operations. Their interest lagged and sooner or later they sought larger fields. The people of Bella Coola maybe congratulated upon Mrs. VV. Sutherland's appointment to the position; and as she has been a resident of the place for a number of years beforehand, it is hoped and believed she will continue her stay as physician for a long term of years. Her professional ability is of the highest order; being a graduate with the highest honors from the university of Edinburg, the recipient of 19 medals and a scholarship, as well as numerous prizes in the form of instruments. Dr. Sutherland is showing her keen interest in the affairs of the hospital by the energetic way that all the residents of the valley will come to the aid of the hospital as soon as its needs are fully known and understood, announces that Saturday the 30th day of October (one week from today) the hospital will be thrown open to visitors from 3 to 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon. . ������������������-'- An earnest invitation is extended to all our people to set aside that day for the purpose of visiting the doctor, see the hospital and get acquainted with its needs. Tea and coffee will be served to all comers. This gathering will be in the nature of the opening of the hospital. We have not learned of any literary program for the occasion; it will be an informal social gathering, where everybody can take part and discuss matters. It has been pointed out that the most pressing needs in equipment are a sufficient 'supply of linen, curtains, some furniture, kitchen utensils, one or two heating stoves, and furnishings of one more ward. The doctor would be glad if those who have linen to spare would bring such to the meeting. Let everybody now show their appreciation of the new management by turning out in large numbers and thus make the occasion a success. BEL LAkCOOLA COURIER The!

Send for Catalogue Prompt Attention Given Letter Ord We Reply to "The Week." f . The Week charges that the measure .proposed by the prohibitionists to "be submitted at a plebiscite wjll not accomplish the results claimed for it. It says it is only "apretence," that it will not abolish;liquor in any sense, etc. We arje not prepared to discuss the merits of the Prohibition Act in question, nor do we think it is necessary for the Courier to do so. The Act proposed is identical with the one adopted by such overwhelming majority in Alberta, and has by the friends "of prohibition (assembled at a convention held at Vancouver been found a model, which they did not feel called to improve upon. The Week ^must indeed suffer from a severe attack of conceit, when it dares to impugn the. intelligence of this gathering. He also calls,the measure a "pretence," whi^h means that these good peoplejof the convention at the bottom of their hearts did not want what they were so urgently advocating; but were trying to deceive the confiding public. Itis a pity that an honest, intelligent citizen like the editor of The Week was not present to set things \ right and get an honest and 'intelligent measure adopted. ��������� The editor further claims that prohibition increases private drinking and he says that for this reason the results of prohibition are lamentable. That men will bring liquory to their homes and thus their jsanctity is invaded, and, he adds, "such legislation has been ��������� discredited in this respect wherever it has been applied." Well, we must admit that we are like the man from Missouri. This may be the experience of the writer of that article, and he says it is, but it only goes to way of . his brother. It really i smacks, of blasphemy. . We make .this assertion, it is riot necessary' to -have war to develop courage, endurance, etc., in a nation, but these virtues develop just as well if not better in times of peace, as "this war has proven. Neither is it necessary, to have the bar in order that character be developed. The state need not worry that there will not^be enough temptation to develop character without the bar. In spite of all the childish arguments brought against prohibition the liquor traffic is doomed. "Our Godlis marching on."- o o o o o The Dead Have Risen. As has been stated before in these columns, the Conservative of the meeting referred to and then you will,,- we .believe, say our words are not too strong." Remember,'that the speakers there were/not. politicians seek- ing"������public "preferment or men who were to gain by the downfall of the government in apolitical sense. ��������� They were ministers of-the gospel who were backed.by over sixty of the .ministers belbnging to the Union, who all live either in Vancouver or the immediate vicinity.. \Dozensof other ministers throughout the province are in full 'accord ' with ; the* "stand taken by the Ministerial' Union, and this fact alone gives a wieight to the,statements made at the meeting which cannot be ignored or put aside.* -We reproduce'the very strong expressions made by "The Sun" of Vancouver, at the beginning of its report of the meeting: "Never before in the history of this or any other province of the Dominion has such damning evidence "and-irrefutable statements of fact been adduced against'the government of the day, as were submitted to an audience that more than filled Dominion Hall to its utmost capacity, by Rev. Dr. Mackay, should tower above love for party and .friends, and determine their action in the next election. Are the People to Blame. Quite often .when deplorable political conditions are discussed expressions are made to the effect that the people themselves are to blame and are generally agreed to on the 'theory that in our system "of government the people are the rulers and express -their .will through their representatives. - . . ��������� We do not agree to this proposition. It is not to be expected that the general public shall be so well versed in all matters pertaining to the administration of the affairs of state that they should be able to hold intelligent opinions on every problem that crops up. And even if it for a moment might be conceived that the people were so eminently superior in point of education, knowledge and information, and what else might be required, yet there would be no unanimity of method of what to do in every case; there would be such a diversity of opinions that action would be impossible.

English ships have done similar things, so have American ones, so have the ships of all maritime nations. It is wrong, but not unpardonable. Belgium, on the other hand, was not merely neutral, but neutralized. Pier charter of national .existence pledged her to keep ! her territory from being used as ja base from which to attack any j neighboring power. She was obliged to fight, if necessary, to carry out this pledge; and Britain, | France and Prussia signed a solemn agreement to respect Belgium's neutrality themselves and see that all others did so. Belgium kept her agreement- nothing more than the German white book is needed to prove that. France and Britain kept theirs. But Germany, successor to Prussia, broke her oath, and attacked and ruined the country she had sworn to defend. This is the unpardonable treachery to civilization which has made the German government well-nigh ���������in outcast on earth. ���������Exchange. Geuks-'rky K. Huknett D. J. McGugan C.K., H.C.L..S..

'"THE 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 ; long warm summers with sufficient rainfall and mild winters make for excellent crops.

This fact was established at the Prince Rupert exhibition last year when farm produce from Bella Coola Valley carried away over twenty first prizes.

People are ..beginning to flock to the country. The North-West Coast of British Columbia offers opportunities for all. ' Did not know, is nq excuse. Investors should keep, posted on develop ments by reading the "Courier.' Most soils, except of alkali formation, are the better for liming at least from once in three or five years, depending on the sourness, acidity of fehe soil, or class of crop being raised. On the coast and islands of British Columbia liming of the soil is needed, particularly the north, where peat, moss and vegetable soil largely exists, or new land which has been recently covered with forest growth. For coastal valleys like lower Bella Coola,'where much river bottom as well as timbered lands l-are found, the soils contain a high per centage of humus, i. e., decayed vegetable matter. The soils are rich in plant food, but such is not available for plant use. . The addition of lime in, some form will bring about a chemical change in the sojl. New compounds will form which be available for plant food.-' Various insoluble compounds will break' down and become soluble. -Plants can.only make use of plant food which has been made .soluble. Furthermore, liming aids bacterial action which is very neces- sary in rendering plant food available. The much heeded soil bacteria;' (Azotobacter) which "fixes" the nitrogerft-of the air in-the soil flourish well jn'a sweet or slightly alkaline (limed) soil. The legume or pea or clover family, bacteria function only in! non-acid or sweet soils. .These bacteria cause phenodules" to form at the roots of the legumes' and are of necessity for the well being of that crop.

TAXIDERMIST* All kinds.of Game Heads mounted, "true to nature," and also some fine specimens for sale, by��������� Hans Allertson HAGENSBORG. B. C. THE commercially as: quick, caustic, burnt lime stone or builders' is without doubt the best form of lime for Bella Coola and coast soils.' It is sold in air tight barrels holding 200 lbs. This lime if it has1 been kept free from air j and moisture will be in lumps and unslaked. Should .the barrels have been long opened and the ljme become slaked, it has been subject to exposure and is thus less caustic and slow in effect or action. Such lime should cost less than that which has not been so exposed. This quick lime may be powdered or ground and spread over the land at once. Grinding may not be practicable, hence the lime must be water slaked. This may be done as follows: The lime thrown out of the k *' ' barrel and placed in small heaps over the field. For a ton of lime to an acre, place 40 heaps of about 50 lbs. each at equal distances apart over the acre of land. Coast arid island soils need this amount, or more, but Bella Coola half a ton will do for an acre. Over the heaps scatter damp soil about 2 -inches deep. In- about two weeks the' lime should be in a powdered form, i. e., it, will have become slaked and thus fit to be scattered over .the land. WHEN TQ APPLY LIME AND -HOW'TO WORK IT IN " THE LAND. ��������� The Fall is the best time to apply lime, although' such may be done at any time when opportunity offers. It is-not.wise to plowkn the lime, but rather harrow it in and incorporate the" lime with about 13 or 4 inches of the surface<soil. I Lime compounds have a tendency txf sink, therefore harrowing is preferable to plowing. . - . ' , VALUE TO CHOPS AND SUMMARY OF USES. Lime, especially the caustic form, destroys various plant diseases that may exist in the soil as well as destroying eggs and pupa of certain insects. It helps to prevent such as clover sickness. Renders plant food available, makes sour or acid soils sweet. It helps to make infertile land productive. Brings about Value of Wood Ashes. DUILD UP YOUR HOME ���������'?" TOWN.

The C 4 s $l^a Year Published every Saturday at BELLA COOLA, B. C. "THE two principal reasons why. you should buy; "Shamrock" Hams, Bacon, Lard, etc., are: FIRST��������� There is none better. SECOND��������� They are the only brands produced in B. C. under government inspection. Ask for "SHAMROCK" chemical and bacterial changes in the soil. It causes manure and most fertilizers to-be of more value. The preceding article by Mr. A. H. Tomlinson on the value of lime in agriculture is for this locality very timely. A considerable portion of the cultivated area in this valley is in need of a correct! v9 of this nature. Some farmers mayf feel they cannot afford to pay out ready cash for lime, even if they admit the need of it; The Farmers' Institute should take this matter of obtaining lime under consideration. Anything that makes for increased production is essential to good farming, and in this case would be a good investment. The Family Herald and Weekly Star has an article on the high value of wood ashes as a fertilizer and claim it will, if applied properly, give similar results as lime. In this place, where the timber is heavy, the amount of ashes obtainable in the clearing of land is considerable and should, on account of its high value as a fertilizer, be saved. The Family Herald says in part: "In addition' to their potash they contain some two per cent, phosphoric acid and from twenty to thirty per cent, carbonate of lime, enhancing their fertilizing value and making them, in a sense, an allround fertilizer for supplying the mineral elements required by crops. And, further, they correct acidity, a quality detrimental to the thrift of most farm crops. "From twenty-five to fifty bushels of wood ashes per acre will furnish^frqm 60 to 120 pounds of potash, the latter an ample dressing for even very light soils. Their application is best deferred j till spring, broadcasting preferably on avquiet damp day, on the ploughed land and incorporating with a thorough harrowing. "For clover, corn and mangels they will be found very valuable. Especially are they beneficial for orchards. For turnips, mixed with one-third to one-half their weight of bone meal, they have similarly proved advantageous. But, indeed, there are few crops on light and gravelly soils, as also on vegetable loams inclined to be^sour, for which wood ashes cannot be employed with profit."
