Refreshments will be served to all comers without money and without price. -' ��������� The proceeds of the sale will be devoted to benevolentobjects; a part going to the Red Cross and Patriotic Funds. In the past political history of our country, governments have gone down to defeat, but we do not call to mind an election where every cabinet minister have suffered such a fate. .:.,, .;������������������'..'���������;/:, It was reserved for the Bowser ���������'government to go through-such an experience. The premier was overwhelmingly defeated in his home town, .where an honest endeavor oh'his part would have received a sympathetic consideration. ; Corporal Randolph Saugstad in a letter tells of the arrival of the 102nd Battalion, of. which he, with many other Bella Coola men, is a member, in France on'Aiig. 14. He believed that his regiment would be in the fight before many days. This community had the pleasure of enjoying during the last week a visit from Mr. . Fred Stork of Prince Rupert. As announced in our last issue he aiv rived Tuesday last week for the purpose of strengthening the faithful in their allegiance to the Liberal party and of converting the few shortsighted followers of Bowser. While here he held two meetings, one at the Mackenzie schooi and the other at the Colony Hall. We did not have the pleasure oi attending his meeting at the school and cannnot tell whether the townsite element supporting Bowser was vouchsafed, as the result of the' argument presented, the great privilege of having their eyes opened to the errors of their way. But of the meeting at Hagensborg there is no doubt, he took the large meeting by storm and if there were Bow- serites at the beginning of the meeting very few of that persuasion "left the hall at the end of it. At eight o'clock Saturday evening, nearly all the people.of Hagensborg and the country for miles around were there, not excepting the ladies, and Jt was with a broad sndile that B. Bryr nildsen,. president of the local club, called them.eetingtoorder. He first called upon C. Carlson, who told of the iniquitous vote plugging alleged to have taken place at the by-election in Van-1 couver. Mr. Carlson held the audience quiet for about twenty minutes; but when the story was finished the applause was general. This fact was taken as evidence that the story "went home." , '\ ' . Then the speaker of the evening, Mr. Fred Stork, was introduced and held the audience spellbound for over an hour in an exposure of the extravagance of the government. , His speech was frequently interrupted by the plaudits^of the eager listeners. The campaign has now passed intohistoryand therefore not necessary to give the,many telling points Tie made. - He was followed by Capt. W. D. Stephenson who, in a short speech, expressed his opinion of the government, which was far from favorable'and the applause he received testified to the fact that, there were others., w.ho shared his opinions. . i;The meeting closed ^shortly after 10 o'clock by the singing of the National Anthem. ' Mr. and Mrs. S. Le C. Grant and family desire to express, by the medium of the Courier, their sincere thanks to the many friends who have sent such kind message,of sympathy and condolence in their recent great trial.

A Liberal Victory Last Thursday's elections turn ed out to be a veritable landslide in favor of the Liberal candi- . dates.' Bbwserism met the people at bhe'pollsand met its Waterloo:, ��������� Vancouver, the'home town of the premier and the scene of the alleged plugging, defeated every ���������one of the government candidates with large majorities. '''Victoria, the seat of,thegov-J eminent, also expressed1'its disapproval of the administration by electing all the Liberal candi- dates, with H. C. Brewster at the head of the poll. Mr. Bowser's chief lieutenants, as near as the incomplete returns .time when it'would have been at hand indicate, went down to'perfectly convenient for all con- disastQr with the'exception of'cerned to bring the exhibit's raining transportation. The inconvenience experienced in reaching Prince Rupert because of no direct communication is nothing new. We have been under the same difficulty in former years and it has not proven insuperable, and it seems to us that with a little goodwill, energy and accommodation on the part of those in charge a way out should have been found. We acknowledge that last year it proved a rather, expensive affair to our exhibitors to get the produce shipped to Namu to eon: nect with the Prince Rupert steamer, as they ,had,Ho .hire' a a launch at a rather stiff price at the last moment because the -������ ) ���������. ���������>, Dominion launch, which had been ��������� promised, could not'be floated whe;n wanted. ', ��������� * But it does seem that, if, noth- ing better offered',- the Dominion launch might have been secured at this time if the Indian agent, who has it in, charge, had been approached. - The launch isown- od by a government, which shows its keen interest in 'agriculture in every conceivable 'way and in order to promote it spends many thousands'of dollars every year. Under these circumstances there would be no danger of' anyone incurring the displeasure of the Dominion government for appro:, priatingtheuseof its .launch for jthepurposeof conveying the exhibits to Namu or Bella Bella to connect with* the Prince Rupert steamer. .We have learned-that this particular launch went to "Bella Bella on government business at a r\so ALUM Mr. Ross at Prince George. In this district Pattullo leads with a substantial majority. Bella Coola for the first time in nearly twenty years gave a handsome majority for a Liberal candidate. The indications at present are that the Conservatives have elected about ten of their candidates. Prohibition and Women's suffrage carried. along.' As it is, Bella Coola is out of the race for this year and it is no use crying over spilt milk. It is necessary to point out, however, that we should on all occasions try to co-operate'in every- effort made to promote our chief industry. That we do not take part in the exhibition may inflict injury on Bella Coola and will certainly cause disap- This election proved to^be a"'pointment and vexation in quar- purifying tempest which s'wept ters where considerable money out a corrupt government, and elevated our womanhood to'her rightful position. O O 0 ' o , o The Courier's Birthday While the'Courier'is celebrating the victory of a cause which it has persistently and consistently advocated against strong odds during its whole existence it also, with the publication of this issue, celebrates its fourth birthday. It is glad in its belief that its efforts may have contributed a mite towards this desirable consummation and hopes that it shall, by the continued goodwill of the people, be permitted to continue to. assist in the establishment of the, welfare of.our ��������� land and our people. o o 6' ��������� o ' o Princz Rupert Fair. ' Next week the Fair will be held at Prince Rupert. It is no doubt that it will prove the success it has been on former occa-j sions. But we learn with deep1 regret that it has been decided; that Bella Coola send no exhibits' this year. This decision has not been, reached because of a failure of- crop or inferiority of produce, but because of difficulties of ob- has been spent and energy displayed in promoting the exhibition and we hope that the people of Bella Coola will be spared a similar occurrence in the future. O ������ 0 o o The Value of a Political Campaign. When thisissueof the Courier reaches our readers the political campaign will be over. The result of the election may not be known definitely because of the soldiers vote taken in Europe; but whether the result is known or. not no amount of argument will,henceforth have any efl'ect i'h the fhial decision. The die is cast; and very" few people will feel regret that the protracted contest, almost akin to a war- fare; is over'.' Many people look upon a political campaign as a necessary evil; but such is not the case. Any- thing that lias beneficial results is pot aii evil. A tree is either good,or bad according to its fruits. . ''And the effects' of ,a political campaign, even ' though it be bitter, are good.'\ It is educational. A people to whom has, been entrusted the task' of , self-government must necessarily know the fundamental principles underlying such government. They must know that the affairs of the country must beVJministered by honest and capable men;'that it must be run in the interest of the people as a whole; that the resources of the country-be conserved and utilized- in a manner to bring prosperity. In short, thegqvern- ment must be run according to righteous principles. And a political campaign brings these principles home to the people in a manner which nothing- else can. In a fierce campaign everybody, even the indifferent and self-ce'/itered, are aroused to take an interest and express their views at the polls. And in the abstract, the people can be trusted to choose what they believe is right. A campaign is purifying. As long as human nature is frail, men who cannot resist temptation will find their way, to some extent, into political prominence: The only thing that has a tendency to keep them in cheek is the fact that their every action is watched and if not up to the standard set by the opposition will be subjected to public criticism, and may result in disgraceful retirement from service. The bar of public opinion, before which these men are placed at each election, ,is feared and therefore' has a tendency of keeping our public men in the "straight and narrow way." That it does not always'do so is a well-known fact. There are some men who think themselves sufficiently clever to be able to justify their acts, even though they are shady. But they never succeed in the long run. The fierce light of public opinion will sooner' or later retire them to deserved oblivion; They are cast out and their places filled by men who are supposed to be more worthy. And in this way the purifying process is carried on by a political campaign and succeeding elections. The voters are educated in the principles of government and .informed as to the condition of public affairs during, the campaign, arid they rebuke and eliminate the evils on one hand and approve and establish ^what is considered right on the other in the election following. ' For these' reasons we believe that the campaign concluded this week has not been anecessary evil, but a time of purifying and refreshing of the. public conscience and an education in self- government.

As the work of the summer and fall season is drawing to a close it is time on the part of the farmers to begin planning for the next year." The unusual wet summer, especially so during the time of haying, has impressed upon the minds of the farmers the need of preserving the hay in a different way than-that of j drying it in the wind and the sun. And therefore their attention has been forcibly drawn to the silo as a means of saving the hay crop. As a consequence, it is believed a number of silos will be built in the valley and that being the case we deem it timely to publish extracts from an article in the Agricultural Journal on silos from the pen of H.

As announced in our last issue he arrived Tuesday last week for the purpose of strengthening the faithful in their allegiance to the Liberal party and of converting the few shortsighted followers of Bowser. While here he held two meetings, one at the Mackenzie school and the other at the Colony Hall. We did not have the pleasure of attending his meeting at the school and cannnot tell whether the townsite element supporting Bowser was vouchsafed, as the result of the argument presented, the great privilege of having their eyes opened to the errors of their way. But of the meeting at Hagensborg there is no doubt, he took the large meeting by storm and if there were Bow- serites at the beginning of the meeting very few of that persuasion left the hall at the end of it.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 16, 1916. ^_ , _ A Liberal Victory Last Thursday's elections turned but to be a veritable landslide in favor of the Liberal candi- ,. dates; Bo wserism met the people at the polls and met its Waterloo. Vancouver, the home town of the.premier and the scene of the alleged plugging, defeated every one of thegovernment candidates with large majorities. Victoria, the seat of the government, also expressed its disapproval of the administration by electing all the Liberal candidates, wjth H. C. 'Brewster at . the head of the poll. Mr. Bowser's chief lieutenants, as near as the incomplete returns 'time - when it would have been ��������� ' 1 at hand indicate, went down to j perfectly convenient for all con- disaster with the" exception of.cerried to bring the exhibits. taining transportation. The inconvenience experienced in reaching Prince Rupert because of no direct communication is nothing new. We have been under the same difficulty in former years and it has not proven insuperable, .and it seems to us that with a little goodwill, energy and accommodation on the part of those in charge a way out should have been found. We acknowledge that lastyear it proved a rather expensive affair to our exhibitors to get,the produce shipped to Namu to connect with the Prince Rupert steamer, as'they0 had to hire a a launch at a rather stiff price at the last moment because the Dominion launch, which had been promised, could" not be floated when wanted. But it does seem that, if nothing better offered, the Dominion launch might have been secured at this time if the Indian agent, who has it in charge; had been approached. The launch is owned by a. govern me n.t which shows its keen interest in agriculture in^every conceivable way and in order to promote it spends many thousands of dollars every year. Under these circumstances there would be no danger of anyone incurring the displeasure of the Dominion government for appropriating the use of its launch for the purpose of conveying the exhibits to Narriu or Bella Bella to connect with the Prince Rupert steamer.

Next week the Fair will be held at Prince Rupert. It is no doubt that it will prove the success it has been on former occa- sions. But we learn with deep' regret that it has been decided that Bella Coola send no exhibits this year. This decision has not been t reached because of a failure of crop or inferiority of produce, hut because of difficulties of ob- or not no amount of argument will henceforth have any effect in the final decision. The die is cast; and very few people will feel regret that the protracted contest, almost akin to a warfare, is over. Many people look upon a political campaign as a necessary evil; but such is not the case. Anything that has beneficial results is not an evil. A tree is either good or bad according to its fruits.' And. the effects .of a political campaign,' even though it be bitter, are good. It is educational. A people to whom has been entrusted the task ofv self-government must necessarily know the fundamental principles underlying such government. They must know that the affairs of the country must be administered by honest and capable nren;xthat it must be run in the interest Qf the people as a whole; that the resources of the country be conserved and utilized in a manner to bring prosperity. In short, the government must be run according to righteous principles. And a political campaign brings these principles home to the people in a manner which nothing else can. In a fierce campaign everybody, even the indifferent and self-centered, are aroused to take an interest and express their views at the polls. And in the abstract, the people can be trusted to choose what they believe is right. A campaign is purifying. As long as human nature is frail, men who cannot resist temptation will find their, way, to some extent, into political prominence. The only thing that has a tendency to keep them in check is the fact that jtheir every action is watched and if not up to the standard set by the opposition will be subjected to public criticism, and may result in disgraceful retirement from service. The bar of'public opinion, before which tjhese men are placed at each election, is feared and therefore has a tendency of keeping our public men in the "straight and narrow way." That it does not always do so is a well-known fact. There are some men who think themselves sufficiently clever' to be able to justify their acts, even though they are shady. But they never succeed in the long run. ^The fierce light Qf public opinion will sooner or later retire them to deserved oblivion. They are cast out and their places filled by men who are supposed to be more worthy. And in this way the purifying process is carried on by a political campaign and succeeding elections. The voters are-educated in the principles of government and informed as to the condition of, public affairs during the campaign, and they rebuke and eliminate the evils on one hand and approve and establish what is considered right on the other in the electron following. For these reasons we believe that the campaign concluded this week has not been a necessary evil, but a time of purifying and refreshing of the public conscience and an education in self- government.

As the work of the summer and fall season is drawing to a close it is time on the part of the farmers to begin planning for the next year. The unusual wet summer, especially so during the time of haying, has impressed upon the minds of the farmers the need of preserving the hay in a different way than that of drying it in the wind and the sun. And therefore their attention has been forcibly drawn to the silo as a means of saving the hay crop. As a consequence, it is believed a number of silos will be built in the valley and that being the case we deem it timely to publish extracts from an article in the Agricultural Journal on silos from the pen of H. 0.

V\/HAT ambition more noble than to be a producer of the necessaries of life? Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. HTHE 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. 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 '��������� -- 1 1 1 <���������> [ Get"MoreMoncy" for your Foxes Muskrat, White Weasel, Beaver, Lynx, Wolves, Marten and other Fur bearers collected in your section SHIP YOUR FliltS DIRECT to "SHU BERT" the lamest house In the World deallnfl exclusively In NORTH AMERICAN RAW FUUS a reliable���������responsible���������safe Fur House with an unblemished reputation existing for "more than a third of a century," a lomc successful record of sendinK Fur Shippers prompt.SATISFACTORY AND PROFITABLE returns.

Silage An Economical Feed - (Continued from column 2, page 3.) bered, acted as judge at the agricultural exhibition in Bella Coola last year: The silo which we recommend is built of 2 x 6 inch staves which are held in place by 5-8 inch iron hoops. The staves may be taken from almost any kind of lumber, provided they are straight and free from knots. Silos builtwith rough, undressed 2 x 6's have given good results, although the dressed, sized, tongued and grooved staves make a more lasting and better appearing silo. The reasons why this type of silo is recommended are: First: The cost of the above stave silo is so small as to bring it within the reach of almost any farmer who needs a silo. Second: The average fanner building his first silo does so usually more as an experiment than anything else. He builds a small silo, and if that proves satisfactory he can pull the small silo down and build a larger, Canada's Boys Want Smokes! ������farrTg������*-������-j.i ^nwix-^yv^ i^wrt u-w-i -|| mm^h in m i| | | hi ADVERTISERS - Now is the time to keep your name before the public. - No manufacturer or wholesalehouse can afford to let slip the'opportunity of increased sales that public advertising brings.

Third: Those who have had the stave silos in operation for a number of years claim that the stave silo will last at least fifteen or twenty years. It is also claimed that it is the most economical silo to build. . -- The leasons-why a farmer shouldput up a silo on his farm are as follows: ��������� ���������'���������.- ���������-, First: In those districts where June rains spoil the first crop of clover or alfalfa hay it proves an efficient means,of saving same. Second: The silo is the best- known way to store succulent feed for the winter feeding of live stock. Third: The silo furnishes a feed of uniform quality. J Fourth: Where a summer silo is used, the farmer need hot fear late summer droughts. Fifth: Crops which would be useless for haymaking ���������i.e.," thistles; and other weeds���������.may be preserved and changed into palatable food. Sixth: More stock can be kept on a certain area where silage is fed than is otherwise the case. Seventh: Less labor, therefore, is needed on a farm when a silo is used. .Every farmer who has four or more first-class dairy cows, or who is fattening or wintering eight beef animals, together with the average number of other farm stock, should build a silo for the storage of succulent feed, unless he can produce his succulent feed more economically in the form of roots. No farmer should build a silo who cannot grow the feed to fill it or who has not the stock to produce suitable returns from the feed fed; i.e., who keeps scrub stock. . The Silo Bulletin No. 66 contains details of silo constructions and the manufacture of ensilage. Write to the Department.
