Shafer, made a trip into the new mining country of Eutsuck Lake, has returned to town. He speaks very highly of that section from a mining point of view. This country is practically unexplored territory with no trails to speak of, which makes prospecting difficult in those regions. Mr. Johnson bears out the statement made by others that the district is rich in minerals. ' - Miss Ruth Nordschow was down from Hagensborg during the week. After spending three months in the'hospital here dur- Winch &Co. of Vancouver, called at this port last week. The Imr palla has had a thorough overhauling since leaving here and looked spick and span, in fact it was difficult to recognize her as the same boat. The launch was bought by the Messrs, Winch company for the use of their travelling superintendent, Mr. Doyle, between the different ��������� canneries owned by the firm in the north. We may. be excused for printing the following extract from a ' soldier reader at the front: . "I am writing to .thank you for.the Bella Coola Courier,' which ���������; has been forwarded so faithfully for three eventful years and has found me both in the���������Mediterra- nean and in France. Its advent, whether in ihe mud or the clay, fair weather or otherwise, has been very welcome; and a fond link with the dear,old province of British Columbia." TKe S."S. Tees of the C. P..R.. r|0N?T forget to bring in your Subscription to the Courier���������The more support you give us, the better paper we will give you. ing the first part of the year, Miss Nordschow is now enjoying the best of health. The gathering in of root crops is now- pretty general throughout the valley and the yield is considerably abov������ what it was last year, which was considered a very good one, particularly the potatoes, which show a marked improvement both as to quantity and quality. Also the fruit is of a better color, the reason of this is the dry, warm weather during the past six week's, which has improved the fruit in general. The salmon catches during the past week have been fully up to expectation. There has been a falling off in the cheaper fish, but the run of Cohoe has improved, if any over last week. From Kimsquit comes the report that the canneries there are about closing down fbr the season as all tins arranged for are filled, and it is too late in the season to obtain any more cans. At Namu there has been an over supply of fish and- the latest is .they.will also have to close on. account of a shortage in tins. No correct figures as to the total pack is to hand, but the Bella Coola cannery is now running close to the forty thousand cases mark. The launch Impalla,- formerly owned by William Sutherland and now the property of R. V. service,came up with supplies for the Talleo Fisheries cannery' and after discharging proceeded to Kimsquit and Bella Bella to load salmon for the south. Considerable of the canned fish was also taken aboard at "the Bella Coola cannery for shipment to Vancouver. Courier readers will be pleased to learn that John Simister a former resident of Bella Coola, is still in the land of the living. According to the Cariboo Observer of Quesnel, we learn that Mr. Simister has left that place and is now superintendent of the cattle ranch of Little & Udy at Nazco, in the Cariboo- district. Mr. W. H. Little also claimed Bella Coola his home town before taking up his abode in the Interior to engage in cattle raising extensively. ____. ������������������ ��������� Attention is directed to the extensive program of the Bella Coola Farmers' Institute and Fair Association in this copy; It is earnestly hoped that .all will take an interest in placing1 on exhibit as.many of the products of the, valley as possible and otherwise'aid.in; making this'Fall Exhibition a success. Ed. White, with; his family, arrived back in town after spending the summer at N.ootum Bay, where Mr. White was engaged in logging. Mrs. R.

"Then none were for si party, "Then-all were for the state." If thatcould be brought about how happy we all would be. A society has been formed in England under the name of "The Society for Upholding Political . Honor" and its objects are as follows: (1) To attack abuses of government by party,-and especially the misuse'of party funds. (2) To ensure that publicity shall ba given to the source, amount, and disposal of all monies devoted to party objects.' (3) To insist that honors shall be bestowed only as a reward of ser.yices to the state,,, an'cf in no case for moneylary considerations. (4) To support as candidates for parliament men who are free from party ties. (5) To free the press from party allegiance. The whole undertaking is certainly some job. What a happy time we .- should have had in British Columbia if an organization of this kind had been started hereabout twenty years ago. Some of the objects of this organization are quite sound. The hidden party chest is a scandal anyway and should have been done away with years ago. Some pe :>ple seem to think that there is going to be a new Empire created after this war. In the constitution of the new Empire when it is reconstructed there must be a clause forbidding the bartering of public'honors. More knights have been created in Canada since the war started than during the whole fifty years of confederation, and if the bestowing of honors on men is to continue at the rate.of the last three years there will be more knights than common citizens. . o' o o o o Overmanned. The county court of Vancouver county, of which Bella Coola happens to be a part,, though not by choice, has lost two of its judges. Mr. Justice Schultz by death and the senior member, Judge W. Wi B. Mclnnis, by.'retirement to.enter politics in the Comox-Alberni district, where he has received nomination in the Liberal interest for the Dominion House. This leaves the court with only one-judge who, it is reported, is quite able to hand all the business coming before this tribunal. The Express of the Future. A great deal of thinking has been going on during the past three years, particularly as to the transportation business of the future. The tunnelling of the Straits of Dover is one thing, but there are others. The latest in tunnels is one from Wigtownshire, in Scotland, with the Irish coast, but this may not be seriously entertained for the present, or at least not so longas the Irish question remains unsettled. In this connection it may be said that if the present Irish generation should agree to a settlement, there may be one or two Irishmen in the next that would stir up matters a little. This would leave the tunnel out of the question. Some years ago the tunnel to France was a topic, but that was as far as it ever went. Now it is said that nearly half of the members of the British House ,of Commons are in favor of the scheme. Had the French tunnel been in existence in 1914, the task of supplying the British forces in France .would have been an easy matter and the perils from the-=Hun submarines would riot have affected either the movement of the troops or supplies. That this tunnel will be built is no dream. The result will be,that the Orient express will leave Charing Cross and run through to Petrograd, thence across to Vladivostock, then under the Bering Straits, thence through Dawson and on to Fori George. It may run through to Constantinople, thence branching via Asia Minor to Palestine and on to Egypt, linking up, with Cecil Rhodes railway scheme, Cairo to Cape, or via Bagdad to India. Any of the lines of railway are quite possible as well as the tunnelling of the English Channel and the Bering Straits. o o o o o l Our Duty as Electors. Slavery to party is one of the reasons why the politics of the country have become degraded, and there are happily many indications of better things in the near future. The war is, perhaps more than anything else, bringing us to a realization of the truth' that our blind partyism enables a few unscrupulous and *SP5* <EATS DIRT lilti^ltSii CLEANS-DISINFECTS���USED FOR SOFTENING WATER���FOR MAKING HARD AND SOFT SOAP .FULL DIRECTIONS WITR EACH CAN. greedy men to grasp the reins of power and control parliaments. Naturally this sort of govern- ment has resulted in a carnival of extravagance and corruption that is disgraceful beyond description. The electors have only themselves to blame; they always get just the government they vote for. But we are awakening to the fact that the exercise of the franchise is a sacred r duty, and that every elector is responsible forthe.wayin which he discharges that duty. Those who steadfastly refrain from voting, and those who vote without giving due consideration to the questions before the ��� country, are equally/to blame forjun^ desirable conditions. Ever since the supreme sacrifice on Calvary was made to make men free, suffering humanity has, continued to struggle for the fulfilment of that freedom. So long as we fail in our duty to strive for that fulfilment we cannot hope to escape from political evils.. The responsibility rests on every voter, and.those who have the best opportunities to know of the conditions must bear the greatest' responsibility. ' o i> O O O " Showing Up Germany. It is beginning to apper that Germany committed a serious mistake by provoking the United States to enter the war, not only in a military sense but also from the view point of moral sentiment. Since the American republic has taken up the sword her most damaging work has been done in the diplomatic exposures. Mr. Gerard, the former ambassador of the United States to Germany, gave the world some inside information which revealed the Teuton at his worst in international relations and since then Washington has disclosed the duplicity of the German consul in Buenos Aires. To cap the climax Washington now produces proof that Geirn- any was using the Swedish consul in Mexico as a tool in'another matter of vital importance to the Allies. This information and the proof thereof have been long in possession of the American government, which has a faculty of getting hold of things of this sort which must- be the envy of the much- vaunted German spy system. It will be recalled that the United States had the noto- riousZimmermann letter up its sleeve for months before President Wilson confounded Germany with it. O O O 0 o The man of alien birth will give the'1 best evidence of his patriotism to the land of his adoption if he accepts the new law without a murmur. The quarrel is none of his. , He is not asked to lend a hand in behalf of the Empire.^ That being the case| it is his duty to leaVe the settlement of the issue to those who are bearing the burden. o o o o o ���-- A Dastardly Trick.

JOHN, N.B. HAMILTON CALGARY 14 SASKATOON EDMONTON "The Oppressed English." Ian Hay's book is an amusing defence of'England. "As a Scotsman," he begins, "the English people have my profound sympathy." The Englishman is' described as the whipping-boy of the British Empire. 1 In the war of today, for instance, whenever anything particularly unpleasant or unpopular has to be done���������such as holding up neutral mails; or establishing a blacklist of neutral firms dealing with theenemy���������upon whom rests the odium? Upon England; never upon France, and only occasionally upon Great Britain. The people and press interested thunder at "England's arrogance.", , Similarly the German formula is "Gott strafe England! "Never "Britain," as a Scotsman once very rightly complained to me, adds Ian Hay in parenthesis: On the other hand, when there is any credit going round, continues the first chapter of "The Oppressed Englishman"��������� say for the capture of an hitherto impregnable ridge on the West- Ames Holden McCready Ltd. Vancouver, B. C. 1 LEADING WHOLESALERS IN BOOTS, SHOES AND' RUBBERS FOR MEN, WOMEN AND'CHILDREN. 1 h' '), Largest Manufacturers of Boots and Shoes in Canada ern front���������to whom is that credit assigned? Well, it depends. If the Canadians took the ridge, Canada gets the credit; and the world's press (including that of England) pays due tribute to the invincible valor of, the men from the Dominions. Or if a Scottish or an Irish regiment took the ridge, the official report from general headquarters makes appreciable reference to the fact. But how often do we see the phrase: "The ridge was stormed under heavy fire by an English regiment?" Practically never, Ian Hay answers. A victory gained by English boys from or Yorkshire appears as a British victory, pure and simple. Some of the chapters of "The Oppressed English" are devoted to a discussion of the relationship of England to the Irish situation. The author concludes: But I have said enough to demonstrate to unbiased' observers the present deplorable status of that unfortunate country, England/ Today her chief offices of State are occupied by Scotsmen of the most ruthless type; Wales supplies her with prime ministers; whilelreland appropriates all her spare cash and calls her a bloodsucker. When the war is over, and the world has leisure to devote itself to certain long- postponed domestic reforms, it is most devoutly to be hoped that the case of that unhappy but not undeserving people, the English, may be taken in hand, and that they be, granted some measure, however slight, of political freedom. After that we must do something for Poland.

Mrs. J.H. Hober of Firvale, arrived back this week after a three months stay in the States. Frank Johnson, in company with J. H. Shafer, made a trip into the new mining country of Eutsuck Lake, has returned to town. He speaks very highly of that section from a mining point of view. This country is practically unexplored territory with no trails to speak of, which makes prospecting difficult in those regions. Mr. Johnson bears out the statement made by others that the district is rich in minerals. ���������-.' " - ' ���������' ' Miss Ruth Nordschow was down from Hagensborg during the week.

The gathering in of root crops is now pretty general throughout the valley and the yield is considerably above what it was last year, which was considered a very good one, particularly the potatoes, which show a marked improvement both as to quantity and quality. Also the fruit is of a better color, the reason of this is the dry, warm weather during the past six weeks, which has improved the fruit in general. The salmon catches during the past week have been fully up to expectation. There has been a falling off in the cheaper fish, but the run of Cohoe has improved if any over last week. From Kimsquit comes the report that the canneries there are about closing down for the season as all tins arranged for are filled, and it is too late in the season to obtain any more cans. At Namu there has been an over supply of fish and the latest is they will also have to close on account of a shortage in tins. No correct figures as to the total pack is to hand, but the Bella Coola cannery is now running close to the forty thousand cases mark. The launch lmpalla, formerly owned by William Sutherland and now the property of R. V. service came up with supplies for the Talleo Fisheries cannery' and after discharging proceeded to Kimsquit and Bella Bella to load salmon for the south. Considerable of the canned fish was also taken aboard at "the Bella Coola cannery for shipment to Vancouver. Courier readers will be pleased to learn that John Simister a former resident of Bella Coola, is still in the land of the living. According to the Cariboo Observer of Quesnel, we learn that Mr. Simister has left that place and is now superintendent of the cattle ranch of Little & Udy at Nazco, in the Cariboo- district. Mr. W. H. Little also claimed Bella Coola his home town before taking up his abode in the Interior to engage in cattle raising extensively. Attention is directed to the ex- tensive program of the Bella Coola Farmers' Institute and Fair Association in this copy. It is earnestly hoped that all will take an interest in placing on exhibit as many of the products of the valley as possible and otherwise aid in making this Fall Exhibition a success. Ed.

If that could be brought about "how happy we all would be. A society has been formed in England under the name of "The Society for.Upholding Political Honor" and- its objects are as .follows: (1) T,o attack abuses of goverhment.by party, and especially the misuse of party funds. (2) To ensure "that publicity shall be given /to the source, amount, and disposal of all monies devot- ' ed to party.objects'/ ,(3) To insist that-hohors shall be bestow- ' ed only.aa^reward,- pf se^ryices to the statev'anjllin -no case for moneytary considerations. (4) To support as candidates for parliament men who are free from party ties. (5) To free th e press from party allegiance. The whole undertaking is certainly some job. What a happy time we should have had in British Columbia if an organization of this kind had been started hereabout twenty years ago. Some of the objects of this organization are quite sound. The hidden party chest is# a scandal anyway and should have been done away with years ago. Some pe3ple seem to think that there is going to be a new Empire created after this war. In the constitution of the new Empfre when it is reconstructed there must be a clause forbidding the bartering of public honors. More knights have been created in Canada since the war startedf than during the whole fifty years of confederation, and if the bestowing of honors on men is to continue at the rate of the last three years therje will be more knights than common citizens. o o o o o Overmanned. The county court of Vancouver county, of which Bella Coola happens to be a part, though not by choice, has lost two of its judges. Mr. Justice Schultz by death and the' senior member, Judge W. Wi- B. Mclnnis, by retirement to,enter politics in the Comox-Alberni district, where he has received nomination in the Liberal interest for the Dominion House. This leaves the court with only one judge who, it is reported, is quite able to hand all the business coming before this tribunal. The Express of the Future. A great deal of thinking has been going on during the past three years, particularly as'to the transportation business of the future. The tunnelling of the Straits of Dover is one.thing, but there are others. The latest in tunnels is one from Wigtownshire, in Scotland, with the Irish coast, but this may not be seriously entertained for the present, or at least not so long as the Irish question remains unsettled. In this connection it may be said that if the present Irish generation should agree to a settlement, there may be one or two Irishmen in the next that would stir up matters a little. This would leave the tunnel out of the question. Some years ago ,the tunnel to France vyas a topic, but that was as far as it ever went. Now it is said that nearly half of the members of the British House of Commons are in favor of the scheme. Had the French tunnel been in existence in 1914, the task of supplying the British forces in France would have been an easy matter and the perils from the Hun,submarines .would not have affected either the-movement of the troops or supplies. That this tunnel will be built is no dream. The result will be.that the Orient express will leave Charing Cross-and run through to Petrograd, thence across- to Vladivostock, "then under" the Bering Straits, thence through Dawson and on to Fort George. It may run through'to Constantinople, thence branching via Asia- Minor to Palestine and on to Egypt, linking up>ith Cecil' 'Rhodes ' railway scheme, Cairo to Cape, or via Bagdad to India. Any of the lines of railway are quite possible as well as the tunnelling of'' the English Channel and the Bering Straits. o o o o o Our Duty as Electors. Slavery to party is one of the reasons why the politics of the country have become degraded, and there are happily many indications of better things in the near future. The war is, perhaps more than anything else, bringing us to a realization of the truth that our blind partyism enables a few unscrupulous and **-***"��������� liADE.

Naturally this sort of government has resulted in a carnival of extravagance and, corruption that is disgraceful beyond description. The electors have only themselves to blame; they always get just the government they vote for. , But we are awakening to the fact that the exercise of the franchise is a sacred duty, and that every elector is responsible for the way in which he discharges that duty.' Those who steadfastly refrain "from voting, and those who vote without giving due consideration to the questions before the country, are equally to blame for undesirable conditions. Ever since the supreme 'sacrifice on Calvary was made to make men free, suffering humanity has continued to struggle for the fulfilmentbf that freedom. . So long as we fail in our duty to strive'for .that fulfilment yVe cannot hope to escape from political evils. The responsibility rests onevery voter, and. those who have the best opportunities to. know of the conditions must-bearr the greatest responsibility." - " '\' '���������*, and since then Washington has disclosed the duplicity of the Gerrhan:consul in Buenos Aires. To, cap the climax Washington now produces proof that G.ei m-, any was using the Swedish.consul in Mexico as a tool in another matter of vital importance.to the Allies. This information and the proof thereof have been long- in possession of the American government, which has a faculty of getting hold of things of this sort which must be the envy of the much- vaunted German spy system. It will be recalled that the United States had the notorious Zimmermann letter up its sleeve for months before President Wilson confounded Germany with it. Mackay Smith, Blair & Co.

A, merchant captain -relating experiences with submarines says: "Another German trick is to lash a ship's boat with several daisy men in it to a periscope. The idea is that a British ship will come along and, thinking the men are survivors of some wreck, will come up close and let itself be blown up by the submarine beneath the boat.

If the Canadians took the ridge, Canada gets the credit; and the world's press (including that of England) pays due tribute to the invincible valor of the men from the Dominions.

A victory gained by English boys from or Yorkshire appears as a British victory, pure and simple. Some of the chapters of "The Oppressed English" are devoted to a discussion of the relationship of England to the Irish situation. The author concludes: But I have said enough to demonstrate to unbiased observers the present deplorable status of that unfortunate country, England. Today her chief offices of State are occupied by Scotsmen of the most ruthless type; Wales supplies her with prime ministers; while Ireland appropriates all her spare cash and calls her a bloodsucker. When the war is i' over, and the world has leisure to devote itself to certain long- postponed domestic reforms, it is most devoutly to be hoped that the case of that unhappy but not undeserving people, the English, may be taken in hand, and that they be granted some measure, however slight,^ of political freedom..

Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. View of a ranch in Bella Coola Valley. THE REASONS for this enviable condition 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. 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.
