The outlook the day previous for its success was not favorable, to say the least. There was a steady downpour nearly all day; but the day following proved all the fears for the .-success of the enterprise to be entirely unrealized. The clear sky and bright sunshine made during the day testified to universal enjoyment. The exhibits were placed in the building erected for the purpose on the ground, and by their size and excellence testified to the fertility of the soil, the favor- ableness of the climate and the industry and intelligence of the exhibitors.

At seven o'clock the multitude vaiu li, i> i������' Jacobsen 11 ' ' |ac0f| in the hall: such an extent that a few minutes the seating capacity was taxed to its fullest arid standing room only available for the tardy ones. The gathering was presided over by Mr. Albert Hammer; and without going into detail, which would require columns, we will say that the program throughout was given in genuine artistic- style and performed by all the participants in a highly creditable manner. It is hardly necessary to mention that the audience showed its appreciation by applause, loud and long, to every item ob the program, and nearly every performance was encored. Mr. 0. H. English added both information and instruction to the enjoyment in a short speech interspersed by flashes of the native humor of the speaker. He gave some of his impressions of the valley gathered .during! his stay. He stated that the soil was just the kind for the climate; that on account of our remoteness from markets, farmers must direct their efforts towards dairying and live stock; in this connection he expressed his satisfaction over the introduction of silos in the valley and called them the forerunners of successful farming. He emphasized the necessity of the clearing of land. He considered the fact that some farmers devote time to fishing as being damaging to their own welfare and that of the community. We do not believe that Mr. English has an adequate appreciation of his own ability as a speaker. His short speech at the hall showed that he could present the everyday problems of life in a way that made it interesting to the listener. He should therefore in our judgment devote more of his time to this mode of instruction to the great advantage of our province.

He (the horse owner) does not, in the height of green- eyed envy, praise the really fine Ford,- but enlarges upon the great danger to ordinary traffic which will be caused by this monster, eating miles at the rate of twenty an hour, on the road.

It is said that the packs at the canneries of Bella Coola and Kimsquit amount to 37,000 cases, the larger portion of which is of the red varieties.

Would he, in case he was unable tov take part in the fight, have refused to hand the poor man a rock now and then-to'hurl at his mighty foes? We think he would have taken sides with the ones who had. been wantonly attacked, even if it had caused him inconvenience, loss and suffering. We know of One who was not afraid of using force when necessary, who when angered at the desecration of His Father's house scourged the offending parties from the place.

We have on several occasions heard it stated that Canada should have kept out of this war. Her existence was not threatened and it is only losing men and money, without any return, to take part in an European war. That it is wrong morally to argue in this manner we have in the article just preceding tried to prove; but that it is also wrong from a national point of view we believe, and in support of that SATURDAY, OCT. 9, 1915.

There are few things'more exasperating than the cool, calm unconcern of those who look upon The pamphlet entitled "The Crisis in B. C." has not received much attentionsince Hon. W. J. Bowserreviewed its statements inhis, for that reason, celebrated speech at Vancouver some weeks ago/' The opinion expressed by the,spokesmen of the government and therefore "fully believed by their supporters ; was that every charge contained' in "The Crisis" was conclusively refuted, and 'the prediction was freely made .that no more would "The Crisis" be heard from again as a factor in the discussion of provincial affairs. It" was also stated that the Ministerial Union of the Ldwer Mainland as a body had repudiated the whole pamphlet and that something less than half a dozen RESOLUTIONS. a flagrant injustice being committed and will dp nothing to|������f its members,-together with =��������� "Help the victim; but who, when .^appealed to for assistance, will - An a superior and an I-am-wiser- " than-you- manner say: ."There are faults oh both sides." These are the 'neutrals, these are the . ones who keep out of trouble at all costs, even at the -price of .their self-respect. The cause of this outburst^ of indignation on ' our part is the attitude adopted by some super-good people, especially in the republic to the ; south of us, such as Wm. J. Bry- - an, members of peace societies and representatives of some ' church organizations who protest against the sending of munitions of war to the nations engaged in a struggle ;to defend smaller nations against the attacks of the more powerful. At the outbreak of this war,- contrary to all,.taw, when fearful atrocitiesjWere committed on unoffending Belgium, United States were appealed to by a delegation sent by the outraged country, the answer given it was "We will wait until the war is over, then we .will,,look into the mat ter." Wait until the oppressor had done all the harm he possibly could do. These very good people in impeecablel righteousness, sit back comfortably at home and deplore the \far, the sinfulness of it and the wickedness of selling arms to the Allies. We have sometimes tried to imagine what!the good Samari- would have done had he arrived a little earlier on the scene, while the robber was beating the poor traveller. Would he, at the appeal of help from the poor victim, have stood back and critically watched the conflict and given Moses, were the only ones re sponsible for its appearance. It now turns out that the Union has riot been -frightened by the boom of Bowser's heavy artillery, but is still maintaining a solid front in support of the accusations contained in the pamphlet, and still insisting upon an investigation. Rev. J. R. Robertson, secretary of the Ministerial Union of the Lower Mainland has sent the Courier the. following set of resolutions adopted at a largely attended meeting of its members held at Vancouver the 13th inst. In view of the repeated statements that Rev. A, E. Cooke and the others whose' names are signed to '.'The .Crisis in B. C." acted omtheir own responsibility, we submit the following facts for the .consideration of - your readers: ��������� . I.- That the Ministerial Union of the Lower Mainland approved of the policy of issuing a' statement to the publican the exploitation ' of the natural--resources, of British Columbia. " II. That in-pursuance of that policy a committee of investigation was appointed which represented us throughout. This committee- met. a great many times, sent two of its members to Victoria for some days to consult the records on file there, and to verify all copies of documents submitted and statements made about the situation throughout! the Province. As" a, result of these investigations, they' were convinced of the accuracy of the statements which were afterwards made irrthe pamphlet. III. Their report was presenr ted and .discussed in detail "at several of the most largely, attended meetings of the Ministerial Union ever held,. and'was unanimously and heartily endorsed by everyone who;, was present at the last and most largely attended of all the" meetings. " IV. That the campaign of publicity carried on throughout the Province by Rev. A. E. Cooke belief we print the following editorial from !the Ottawa Free Press: Canada helping the Motherland! The silly phrase keeps recurring in newspaper interviews and platform speeches. Patting ourselves on ,the back for our magnanimity! In this war, Canada isn't fighting for the Motherland any more than she is fighting for Canada ���������for her own existence. Germany wants a "place under the sun"���������what place more suitable for world expansion and settlement than Canada; "what territory more strategically valuable as a base for future expansion and domination than the country bounded for three thousand miles by .'the United States?

After having carefully considered all the explanations given on behalf, of the Government, we are more than ever convinced of the necessity of the investigation, for which we appeal. In all these attempted replies, the main facts set forth in the pamphlet "The Crisis in B. C." have remained entirely untouched. Our only desire is that the people ofJBritish Columbia should know the truth, and we feel that ������ if a full and non-partisan investigation be. held,, every charge we have made..will be fully borne Labor and Prohibition. The arguments against prohibition aremany, and have been answered hundreds of times in the many campaigns of-the last sixty years and mor.e; .but they still bob- up serenely as if they were bran new; and as some of the voters have not been in contact with this issue before the arguments must be answered so that they can have a better, understanding of what it involves. In times past, in common with many other excellent people, the laboring classes, as organized, were opposed} to what was termed 'sumptuary legislation;' but now they realize that the greatd force that labor has to content against is not organized eapitf but the drink traffic. "They, with their capitalist! brethren,' have regarded tli unrestricted use of intoxicant as a privilege or a right whic they felt it would be a weaknej on their part to yield. They rj garded it as an enjoyment whic they were entitled to amidst the! many hardships and privations! Before the advance of enlighj ened thought and accumulate experience these views aregra/j ally being changed.

Too long has the word politician had an unsavory sound, too long has a life in a political sphere been regarded as less honorable than that of a physician, a banker, or a merchant prince. President Wilson is one whom both supporters and opponents give the highest commendation for right motives. We give the following extract from the New York Evening Post, a journal independent in politics. The action ascribed to Mr. Wilson will, we hope, help some of our weaker brethren to take a firmer stand for rectitude and honor in aspiring for political preferment or in the conduct of public office. We may not agree with Mr. Wilson in his policy towards Germany, but we must credit him with being strictly honest. The Evening Post says: "President Wilson has declin- ied to allow Democrats in New | Jersey, his home State, to en- i dorse him for another term, be- ! cause he feels it might seem as though he were taking advant- | age of the international situation to gain some personal advantage. "So there is something new in the political world after all! When did any President who was a candidate for re-election take a similar stand? "For those who observe with seeing eyes there is nothing more striking or grateful about the whole situation in Washington than this consistent refusal of the President to make capital out of the national crisis, either for himself or his party. Without inflaming the public, he could have made a series of quiet speeches upon topics of national interest to rouse and thrill the nation, while still setting the wonderful example of self-repression as to all matters in controversy which has been his. "The President haslet nothing interfere with the policy he has !aj(! down for himself-a policy which is certain to be acclaimed by the historians of the future, as it is to bring him greater and greater gratitude from his fellow citizens." 600 dealers and trappers of B.

Bella Coola farmers are independent, they are strangers to hard times. "THE REASONS for this enviable condi- ��������� ���������*��������� tion of affairs are obvious to anyon.e 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. 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. 1=3 B r>-������?������< " POLARINE" The Best Known and Popular Lubricant for Motor Boats Its use assures .freedom from Carbon deposit on valves, spark plugs, or In cylinders IMPERIAL OflL CO.

About sixty years ago when prohibition was the burning topic in the State of Maine, the question came up to be decided by vote in a small community. At that time the voting was not by ballot, but viva voce. The election w7as held in a schoolhouse. When the vote was taken, those in favor of prohibition' went to one side of the room and those opposed to the other. One of the highly respected members of the community went with those who voted against; but when he saw the sort of people he had joined he got so disgusted that he walked over to the other side remarking he would not associate himself with such a crowd. // will :pe to your interest to keeP well informed regarding the happenings ihroughoui tHe Northern section of this Province��������� THE "COURIER" GIVES THEM.

The Disc Harrow. ; When the cr'opo'f potatoes has been taken care of, the fall plow- n. ing will commence. In connection with, observations on this work we noticed in one of our exchanges an article; on the usefulness of the disc harrow. , It is a fact which it should not te necessary to even mention at this time, that, in order to raise good,crops it is of highest importance to give.the land thorough cultivation. And for this purpose the disc harrow is very necessarj'. . It should , be used for cutting the sod .before the plowing:' "It nearly always pays to pre- pareland^before-plowing. "The disc harrow is the best tool for this preparation. "It mixes the stalk, stubble and other vegetable matter with the surface soil. ���������. .... . "It cuts up and mixes with the furrow-slice the greeri manure crop if one is being turned down. "It makes the furrow-slice turn over more smoothly, decreases the number of clods and benefits the seed bed. "By making the land moister and breaking the top of the ground it makes the plowing easier and causes the plow to pulverize the soil more thoroughly. ' "If every stubble field which is to be fall plowed were disked at once after removing the corn or small grain, the yield of grain over the whole nation would be greatly increased."

"Seasonable Hints." 1 Under the auspices of the Dominion Experimental farms a quarterly publication is being issued entitled "Seasonable Hints," to which the principal authorities at the Central Farm contribute. On the cover a map in outline is given with the location of the farms,'stations and substation indicated- by- signs. Beneath the map is an invitation to all and sundry having agricultural problems they wish solved to send them to any of the principals, at the farms or superintendents of the stations, the post- office.addresses of whom are given. , Director, Grisdale, of the Experimental Farms, says that the first numberwas so flatteringly "received that he and his staff are encouraged to hope for even a better reception for this number. .

IT'S CANADA'S BEST FLOUR The Prince^ Rupert papers which arrived'in the mail of last . week contain a short account of the Third Annual Exhibition of the Northern -B. C. Agricultural Association just held at Prince Rupert. They publish an incomplete list of prize winners among the exhibits consisting of dairy produce, berries, bread, cakes, pickles, preserves, minerals, fishing photography, paintings, Embroidery and fancy work. In all these exhibits Bella Coola was represented only in the one of dairy produce, ;in which B. Filip Jacobsen won first prize, and A. Hammer second prize, for butter. The exhibits ;far excelled previous records. Further account of the Fair we copy from the Daily News of September 25: The gate receipts amounted to $930.75, which is within a very few dollars of last year, and much better than was expected. The" fair has been* the most successful ever held here, and no small credit for the result is due to the efforts of Alex. Prudhomme, the president of the Association, and F. S. Wright, secretary. Both gentlemen have worked inde- fatigably for "months past, .to make the fair a success. The.Fair closed with an auction sale, conducted by G. Naden, of the exhibits from Kitsumkalum and Lakelse. ��������� A good sum was realized, which, at the request of the owners, was handed oyer to the Red Cross Society. . The local branch of the Red Cross Society, is the richer by nearly $400, raised by selling refreshments during the three days. " . i The'Indians of the district responded splendidly to the efforts put forth to.interest them in the exhibition, and not a little of the success of the fair is due to them. The exhibit sent in by the Indians were, amongst the most interesting. .
