The fighting was almost entirely hand to hand and of a very severe character, very heavy losses were inflicted on the Turks and three of their guns, three trench mortars, three hundred rifles, five hundred bombs and a large quantity of small arms and ammunition were captured."

In aid of the Canadian Red Cross Society and St. John Ambulance Association the ladies of the valley had, among other things, arranged for a lawn party on Mrs. E. C. Clayton's grounds last Saturday afternoon. The occasion did not bring ou1 as many people from the distanl parts of the valley as usual, probably on account of the heat and dust and also because the gathering of the second crop of hay was then in full swing. But those who lived in the lower pari of the valley, on the townsite anc at the cannery turned out in force and made the occasion a great success. Several devices were used to entertain the crowd and to relieve it of the money ii had brought along to spend. Mr. Gallienne's Aunt Sally's Nigger babies were the most profitable attraction, and continually held the youth who vied with one another in trying to hit them by the throwing of balls. This game netted $43.15. Next came the refreshment booths where the ladies served coffee, sandwiches, cakes, etc., to the many who without being hungry yet kept the ladies busy dispensing the eatables. Mr. Garnet Gibson, dressed up like a typical farmer, with long chin whiskers and a still longer coat, kept himself busy wheeling a wheelbarrow filled with all sorts larkness dispersed them to their respective homes. The young ladies are still after the dollars and cents. Subscription lists are in circulation and in addition, everybody is importuned to buy tags.

After haying1 .made a trip a "considerable distance up the Bella Coola valley we are more than' ever impressed with its possibilities and prospects for the future. Nature-has endowed it with/some of its richest gifts berth in resources and surroundings. Its advantages are many and its few, drawbacks can and will be overcome by the energy and enterprise of its settlers. Hardship is one of the ��������� requirements. to bring out the best qualities in individuals as well as people. Few of those who'enter the smiling valley at this1 time, realize the concentrated towards- the development of farming.' Many of these efforts cannot be prosecuted effectively without co-operation. A land clearing outfit should be procured. We believe that some of our men, who have invested so .largely in outside securities could find profitable investment in the operation of up-to-date equipments for the clearing of land. Too much stress cannot belaid on the importance of improving the dairy herd by breeding and feeding. , The use of the silo .should be more general. We were glad to see" that four of our farmers have had such erected. And that brings us to the matter of the great increase in the quantity of fodder that can be raised to the acre by the cultivation of ensilage corn. The value of the fields can be multiplied manifold by this the most modern' of crops. It is necessary for the proper utilization of this crop that it be cut before being stored in the silo, and this process^requires an expensive cutter and engine. To overcome this difficulty let a L number of farmers unite in.the buying of- them: ' They are probably as much needed as��������� threshing machine and engine, and we see that an enterprising mem- berof the community has already seen his way clear to_become the sole owner .of such. The same engine that operates the threshing machine could also serve as the motive power for the ensilage cutter. In the matter .of transportation of the produce, the day is not far distant when, on good roads, the motor truck will take the GIL LETT'S LYE EATS DIRT" of the most important issues before the people. The question" has become very insistent during the last year. The war with its grave economic problems has1 been the most endorsed by tHe electors of Alberta, July 21, 1915. The Vancouver "World" has come out in favor of the abolition of the liquor traffic, while the rest of the daily press seems to take a neutral'stand. The prospects of British Columbia swinging into line with the other progressive provinces, states and nations who have banished the destructive traffic, are of the best; and Bella Coola with its large- number of temperance people will be nearly unanimous in support of prohibition. o o ^ o o o The Fair at Prince Rupert. The readers' of the Courier must bear in mind that on the 22, 23 and 24 of this month, the Northern British Columbia Fair will be held at Prince Rupert. Mackay Smith, Blair & Co. Ltd VANCOUVER, B.C.

Large "meetings have been held in the centres of population within the province for the purpose of ascertaining the popular sentiment, with the result that a delegation was formed which called on the premier, requesting that the liquor traffic be ��������� prohibited daring the war; and that legislation to that effect be not repealed without a referendum. The premier promised to-lay the request before the Executive Council of the government, and give an answer before the meeting of the prohibition convention to be held at Vancouver, August 25. r ' - The' premier true to his promise sent the government's reply to the secretary of the delegation, with the information that "it has been decided to submit the whole question to a plebiscite of, the electorate.

Let, therefore, the farmers and business men get together and plan and work for their common good along the lines indicated, "and their efforts will be attended with gratifying results. yations now overcome to such a great extent have moulded a race of settlers that will bring Bella Coola valley to the front ranks in agricultural achievements in the province. The soil once cleared is very productive; for crop production the climate is unsurpassed, the frequency of showers, the warmth and sunshine are unfailing features of . the growing season and therefore failure of crop is unknown in the valley. \ Nature has: not forgotten to embellish these her material gifts by giving Bella Coola some of the grandest scenery found anywhere. Its towering and jagged mountains with their perpetual snow -and glaciers, its rapid streams and high waterfalls combine to fill the onlooker with awe and admiration. The greater part of the valley is pierced by a good wagon road, bordered by the neat and attractive homes of its people. The developments;in other respects may not seem to have been as great as might be expected; but we venture to ������tate that we have seen many settlements in localities nearer tb markets which have not as good results to their credits as Bella Coola^- But we note with satisfaction that the area of the clearings is increasing far) more rapidly of late than in former years, and in this connection let the fact be "noted that the farmers in the vicinity of Firvale, who are situated from 25 to 30 miles up the valley, have the largest clearings of any. The efforts of the settlers should now be more and morel Prohibition in British Columbia. , For the remainder of the year or until an election is held, the prohibition of the liquor traffic nounced as soon as it. has been decided what" shall form the basis of the referendum." The prohibition convention referred to met at Vancouver, August 25-26. It was so largely attended that the hall assigned for the convention was found too small to accommodate the attending delegates, who came from all parts of the provinces The convention passed a resolution requesting the government to submit to the electorate before the last day of the year a within the province wilr be one'bill similar to ''The Liquor Act" whole district that a keen interest be taken in it so^that it may bring to the attentionof the outside world the resources of this part of the province. By the completion of 'the Grand Trunk Pacific'Railway, the Fair will be attended by people from communities not reached before. It will therefore^be possible for it to do more good now than in previous years; and the Association having the Fair in charge is financially in good position to take advantage of every opportunity for the advertising of the district. But' the Association needs the co-operation of all the communities tributary to Prince Rupert. Bella Coola will find it to its interest to patronize the Fair in a liberal manner. Any business occupying an out of the way place needs advertise more extensively than one more advantageously situated. And Bella Coola being at the head of a long inlet is less frequented than places on the regular routes of communication. It therefore behooves this settlement to make strong efforts to get its produce represented and we know from observation that it need not be diffident in bringing forward samples of the bumper crop har- 'vested this season.

MONTREAL WINNIPEG VANCOUVER is to he looked for very soon. ,^ The later news show that the Germans are getting uneasy. They know that for every day Lhe war is going on, they are becoming weaker in men, in money and other resources. The manufacturers of Germany are protesting because of the great drain in men. The bankers together with the chancellor, Von Beth- mann-Hollweg, are warning the government that they are eon- fronted with bankruptcy, and the chancellor is said to have threatened to resign if peace proposals acceptable to the Allies were not made. The difficulties of importing raw material needed in the manufacture of munitions of war are increasing. So that in spite of seeming victories the Germanic allies have passed the climax and are now steadily j treading the downward road. The Allies, on the other hand, are just as steadily improving their conditions. Money is plentiful, the fighting forces are in- creasingin numberand efficiency, war munitions are multiplied, and last but not least, the British are at last realizing the seriousness of the struggle and the necessity for strenuous efforts on every hand, and are rising nobly to the occasion. The Germans, knowing that their star is declining, are now making tentative proposals for peace. The terrible onslaught made on the Russians is in reality an effort to make Russia accept the liberal offers Germany have made to her. It is said that Russia has been offered Galicia and the opening of the Dardanelles to her, but declined. Germany has not as yet realized to the full the temper of the Allies. The wanton plunging of the world into this the greatest of catastrophes known cannot be settled by the ceding of territory; but only by disarmament and restitution as far as can be made to Belgium for the causeless massacre and ruin wrought upon her. It seems that the .longer the war is carried on the more numerous the enemies of Germany ! become, it is not extravagant to ! believe that before another year j is gone all the civilized countries | of the world will be arrayed | against this outlaw among I nations.

Bella Coola farmers are independent, they are strangers to hard times. TTHE 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. DELLA 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. ] r_=_ roj cud e The Best Known and Popular Lubricant for Motor Boats Its use assures freedom from Carbon deposit on valves, spark plugs, or in cylinders IMPERIAL OIL CO.

Stephenson," Or- ville Robinson and Fred Hendricks have been away on an exploring expedition to the islands of the coast. They were lured by the marvellous tales of Mr. Cassidy of Lady Island, who told of the fertile lands to be found in���������tp,e neighborhood of his home. They were so much impressed by the wealth to.be gained on those distant shores, that they forthwith rolled their blankets and did not allow Mr. Cassidy to leave their sight until he had shown them this land .flowing with-milk and honey. Their destination was Price Island, near Milbank Sound. Whether they.found their just expectations verified they failed to relate to us; but that they had enjoyed the trip was proven by their appearance.. Those of them whoare married have not shown up since, and we surmise it will be some time before they will be allowed to go there again. Mixed pickles, 1 bottle, quart..
