Barney Johnson Promoted The English newspapers are devoting columns to the adventures of Captain Barney Johnson, the genial skipper of these northern waters, -who went over to England about a year ago on submarine service, lt.seems that when Barney's diver was close to the German coast and travelling at a depth of sixty feet, she struck a mine which blew off her bow rudder and two tanks. Luckily the bulkheads remained intact and the submarine was brought to the surface with water pouring in. As the mishap occurred off the German coast, it was a twenty- five hours voyage to an English port and the battered submarine had to travel on the surface and dodge enemy patrols. The daring Barney made the trip, however, and brought his crippled little craft safely home. Captain Johnson has received promotion for his achievement.

Last Tuesday being the day of the regular monthly meeting of the Augsburg Ladies' Aid Society the ladies from all parts of the valley availed themselves of the occasion to attend the meeting and at the same time to pay a pleasant call on the residents of Hagensborg. The visitors from a distance brought refreshments and by common impulse met at Lauretson's beautiful residence where lunches were opened and despatched in picnic style on the lawn. After thus being refreshed they all adjourned to the parsonage where they were entertained by Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Sageng in the most hospitable manner. When the business of the meeting had been duly disposed of and conversation had become general, some more refreshments were served of which ice cream and cake formed the most conspicuous part. As some of the ladies had as many as ten miles to travel to reach their homes they had to start before darkness set in. Another reason for| the comparatively early departure is that there is danger of meeting bears after dark at this season of the year. But for this last circumstance it is hard to Say. at what hour they would have found it convenient to disperse. The visit proved so pleasant in every way that it is very likely it will be repeated before the summer is over. It is surmised that there is some mysterious connection between the unusually large exodus of young ladies and the arrival of the above mentioned unmarried young men. That the cause is serious may be inferred from the fact that only two of the young ladies contemplate returning. Bella Coola's reputation of confirmed bachelordom should be overcome by our young men and that right speedily. Birger and Alger Brynildsen returned after spending another year at high school in New Westminster. During vacation they will make themselves conspicuously .... useful.. at their father's store and other premises, and no doubt give Mr. Brynildsen an opportunity of taking a well- earned respite from his manifold activities. Geo. E. Bennett, the genial representative of Leeson, Dickie, Gross & Co., wholesale grocers of Vancouver, came into town in order to find out if we were in want of food. As this is a healthy place where good appetites are universal, it is safe to say he has found a large demand for the goods he offers for sale. Frank Broughton, the provincial constable, is unable to find any violation of law in Bella Coola and must therefore, in order to keep his hand in as it were, take frequent trips to the outlying places to spread terror among the evildoers. He has just returned from such a trip; Mrs. Anderson of Hoi berg/ Vancouver Isiand, has spent a month in the valley with a view of taking up her residence here. We understand she was favorably impressed with conditions. Harry Grainger in a letter to a resident tells that he has crossed the channel and is now somewhere in France. He does not know whether his duties will assign him to the rear or the trenches, but he expresses the hope he will be sent to the trenches. trails carrying the mails for the J local product to be recognized as settlers who, at the outposts of j superior to any canned in British the settlement, are.leadingrather; (rj0]um-jjja_ lonely lives. 4 Mr. Hober has accepted the position of engineerat Johnson's saw mill. The annual school meetings are being held today at Hagensborg and Lower Bella Coola.. At the townsite the meeting will be held at the schoolhouse on Monday. Prior to the holding of the annual meeting the Mackenzie School is undergoing extensive repairs and renovation. The roof is receiving a new coat of paint and a new floor is being laid inside. Closing exercises at the various schools in the valley were held on June 30th. We had the pleasure together with a number oi visitors of attending, the exercises at the Mackenzie School. The younger scholars had recitations which, without exception, ./ere well rendered. The older pupils had composition, treating of the different countries of South America, and it is no flattery to state that the literary efforts were all of high merit, both as to style and contents. Mrs. Clayton, one of the trustees, at the close of the exercises distributed the Rolls of Honor to the happy recipients. Dora Christensen received one for punctuality and regularity, Margaret Fougner for proficiency and Earl Carlson for deportment. Appreciation of the worth of Miss Balkwill, the teacher, was shown by the audience clapping their hands. Dominion Day was one of the finest days of the summer and it , was fully enjoyed by the young but it seems he does not care to j pe_p]e and Qther_ _f the town. publish anything that might re--._it(. wh_ in the cours_ ()f the afternoon gathered on the lawn fleet upon the reputation of people he has met therefore he has told us nothing, beyond the mere fact that he saw a lot of nice farms on the islands at the mouth of the inlet. The ostensible reason for the departure of so many young ladies at this particular time has been given to our veracious reporter to be as follows: The Misses Draney and Hut- cheson left for their'respective homes after attending the high school entrance examination. The Misses Haliowes and Balk- will after laboring for a whole year at the difficult task of imparting knowledge into youthful and very often unwilling minds, wentput'.during vacation to gather strength for another year's struggle. They will be back when school begins next month. Miss H. M. Read who had been similarly engaged at the Lower Bella Coola school, has given up the contest for good and we regret to state will not return. at the residence of C. Carlson for a picnic. The time was spent playing games and enjoying the delicacies the ladies furnished for the occasion. We must not neglect to mention that one of the most pleasing exercises was the operating of a new style of hand stump puller which had just arrived and had never been tried before in the valley. Both the young men and the young ladies took part in pulling out two big stumps, very much to the edification of Mr. Carlson who hopes they will soon return and indulge in the same kind of frolic. The younger portion of the picinicers did not leave until the lateness of the hour arid hunger drove them to their respective homes. J. W. Hober has resigned from his position as mail carrier from Hagensborg to Firvale and Atnarko. John Creswell will in the future traverse the roads and Before the heavy rains of the last few days there was a forest fire in progress near Gasebeer's place above Firvale. Firewarden Marvin with a crew of m^n had it under control before the rains quenched it entirely. His Majesty's Mail Gets Through. M. W. Marvin, postmaster at Atnarko writes the Courier as follows: The highest water on record in the Upper Valley occurred on Tuesday, 27th, and Wednesday, 28th June, when the Atnarko River rose 6 ft. 7-in. from the normal level. The trail was flooded for stretches of a mile and in places the water covered the saddle girths. Bridges were floating and drift wood and muddy water made travelling on horseback a dangerous undertaking. In spite of that the mail was not delayed an hour and Mr. J. W. Hober reached Atnarko post office on schedule time, drenched, but cheerful, as he has done through all the time of contract, through floods, mud, snowstorms and slides, without a single break. Haying is now in full swing throughout the Bella Coola valley. The crop gives promise of plenty of fodder for the coming winter. The rather cold and wet spring gave the settlers some anxiety as to the outcome of the hay crop, but as the season advanced the prospects become more reassuring; and in the last two weeks the favorable weather conditions have made up for all delinquencies of the earlier part of the season. The potato crop is looking up and expected to be large, although considerably less advanced than at this time in former years. The reports from Rivers Inlet are to the effect that not many salmon have made their appearance so far. The idea is prevalent among cannery men that the backwardness of the season affects the coming in of the fish to the inlets. At Bella Coola the run of spring salmon has been very good and this fish has been two weeks later in running compared with previous seasons. A shipment of one thousand cases of this year's salmon pack was taken out by the Camosun s last week. The local cannery management exercises particular care in the canning of the salmon and this fact together with the excellent quality of the fish frequenting the Bella Coola river makes the A great many of the interior Indian population arrived in town last week. These braves come here from all over the northern inland; and trails seldom or ever trodden by white men are .used by these red brethren in order to come out to the coast in search of work and to obtain supplies. The villages of Cluskus Lake, Ulkatcho, and many others are abandoned for the present and will so remain until the inhabitants return in the fall.

Previous to the building of the Grand Tiurk Pacific railway, natives from Hazelton, Ootsa Lake, -Fort. St. James, Fort Fraser and-as,;'far east as the Rocky Mountains, were annual visitors- to -Bella Bella Coola, bringing out their fur catches and returning with their horses laden with-supplies of various kinds. But now with the railroad running thro'ughthat section of the country their trading is done in the towns nearest to their rancheries. The last of the season's catch of furs is here and being bought up by the local merchants. . The New Pulp Mill Town. Ocean Falls, the new pulp mill town, is without a doubt the busiesf place in British Columbia at the present. Buildings that were put up at the time that the original mill was constructed aie now being taken down to make room for others more adapted to the new plans that the company are carrying out; this fact applies to the installing of machinery as well.

A Bold Statement. Premier Bowser said that his minister of .public, works, .Hon. Thos. Taylor, had spent $35,000,- 0)0 and not a dollar had gone astray. We -in Bella Coola can hardly believe these kind of statements even if Mr. Bowser made them. We, know quite to the contrary of tens of thousands of dollars ostensibly appropriated for road work that have gone in- . to the pockets of grafters and hangers-on of the government. We also know of public works, constructed that, was so -faulty .'that they, had to be pulled down and rebuilt and thereby doubled the cost.

We know of roads that have been built side by side in threes.and fours. We know of roads built.that never have been used and never will be. We know of several dump carts and a road vince and particularly in the northern section. The Courier fully agrees with what the Empire has to. say on this score and anything that we can do to change conditions for the better we shall be glad to do. One fault we find with th-. Conservative press is that when good times were here and all and sundry had a few dollars in their pockets, they said nothing about what might happen, and no provision was pointed out as necessary for a rainy day. .Real estate was booming in the cities, the main business was\"real estate, and the city chap was all for. himself and did not care what became of the rest of the province. The government of Britisli Columbia was also in the real estate business and took the people's money and gave it to multi-millionaires for the purpose of building railways to places where there were sufficient railways before, and thereby kept up the excitement of the real estate craze to the great detriment of the outlying sections of the province. As a consequence, no foundation was laid for industries that would now have been kept going and proved the very thing that this.province needed .to keep the treasury filled. But as it is, we find that British Columbia is up against it, the revenue is falling off by the millions of,dollars and there is nothing in immediate sight to stop this. All the land that the speculator asked 'for, all the timber and anything else that was handy McBride and Bowser sold;- the money came into .the treasury and-from there it was handed out to be squandered in extravagant enterprises and wasteful methods. We were not wise. If we had been more careful during the good times-we would had money to loan, but instead of that we are now borrowing, and.not only DECLINE SUBSTITUTES Mr. Bowser has not impoverished himself during these times and certainly does not suffer in pocket even if the province does. Let us all get together and clean the parasites out of the body politic, install a new government and then see to it that the new government stay clean and work Tor the good of the province. The Conservative press will receive greater benefits from the general development of the province along well defined business lines than through a little petty graft from time to time. province but also to provide for the interest due on the debts of gross mismanagement, we are obliged to pay exorbitant interest charges on all the loans we make. But we must have the money and therefore must pay the price roller bought-and paid for that are never used. Yet in the face | borrowing for the needs of the of these facts Mr. Bowser travels \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD through British Columbia at the taxpayers expense and brazenly tells the people that his minister of public; works has not misapplied a dollar out of the thirty- five millions that have passed through' his hands. While Mr. Bowser has been telling these things in the past and the people have swallowed his statements, no such tales will be believed any longer and the voters will express their disbelief at the polls in the next election. The Omineca Herald, whichjn times past told the people of the North to vote for Mr. William Manson, now has this to say about that gentleman: \"Ordin- f ily a constituency is proud to have its member in the cabinet. This North country is not proud of William Manson, and his appointment proves to us the weak- nes of the Bowser cabinet.\" The Courier can only add that we are actually ashamed to have a parson of Manson's stamp either in the cabinet or as a representative, and we predict he will not remain- long in either capacity.- o o o o c Sowing and Reaping.

Very little reference is made to it in the public press, neither does it seem that the attorney-general of the province is taking sufficient interest in the matter to follow the suggestion of the legislative committee to continue the investigation;' It is interesting to notetthat a prominent Conservative, a man who has sat in the Dominion cabinet as a minister of the Crown, a man who is one of the leading lawyers of the Dominion, Sir Charles H. Tupper, has written a letter to Mr. M. A_.:Ma.c- donald in which he says that none of the mud thrown at him has stuck. He as a man of keen that it proved nothing of what it was intended to do. We have been asked to reproduce the letter which is as follows: \"My dear Macdonald,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDI have to go to Winnipeg on an important appointment, otherwise I would be glad to attend the public, meeting which I.understand is to be addressed by Mr. Brewster and you.

None of the mud so persistently thrown at you has stuck. You have signally shown that the reputation of an honest man cannot be affected by the machinations of a desperate, discredited conglomeration of political op- ponets, even though the public- chest be open to them in their malicious work. It is beyond question that the government of this province\" is tottering to its fall, and, in my opinion, unless much of the legislation of the last session is repealed by the next government, its fate will be the same.

From the late northern papers we have gathered some information of how Hon. W. J. Bowser and his retinue were received on their late political trip through the northern districts. Our apologies are not due Mr. Bowser for palling this trip a political one, in opposition to his assertion that it was made at the expense of the province for the purpose of learning the needs of'the'rcoun.try..'\".. In reading the speeches delivered by\" the party it does not take a very astute person to discover that to ingratiate themselves with the voters and injure the opposition was the main object and the learning about the needs of the country was only a pretext to enable the party to have a junketing trip at the expense of the taxpayers; to save The W. H. Malkin Company, Ltd. VANCOUVER, B.C. their own purses. That the people who turned out to the meetings were very cold and almost wholly irresponsive to the pleas of the trained persuaders is the feature that seems the most prominent about the meetings. The Conservative paper, the Journal of Prince Rupert, complains that there was organized disturbance at the meeting held in that city. The Liberal paper, The News, stoutly denies the charge by saying that if that had been the case no meeting could have been held. The speakers were given an hearing; but that the cheering was faint must be admitted. Asan indication of the f.i.ir.ps of the meeting at Prince _.\_Y*t. may be mentioned that when Mr. Manson in his speech re.cm. to the vote plugging in Vancouver someone called fot three cheers for Macdonald, which were given with a will. A lone voice suggested the .{.me for Mr. Bowser but there was a dead, cold silence. Mr. Bowser in a (oUowing speech tried to refer to the Cos- den trial; but he had (o cut that out and switch to the discussion of the Agricultural Act which proved more agreeable.

Wholesale Grocers Vancouver, B.C. up their highly successful drive on the eastern front, chasingand capturing the Austrians in the southern portion and resisting the strong German assaults in the north. The French with incomparable patience and fortitude are holding back the Germans at Verdun, persistenly refusing to accept any assistance from the British forces holding the lines further north. It is supposed that the very strong and persistent German assault at Verdun is for the purpose of disarranging a certain concerted plan of action on the part of the Allies, and France refuses to allow Germany to attain that object by calling for aid from the British. That the situation on the many battlefronts is such as to shake the self-confidence of the Germans is becoming steadily more and more apparent. Openly and almost vehemently Germany is now asking that negotiations for peace be started. Her terms are becoming more reasonable as the losses pile up and the hope of victory fades. How the highest authorities of Germany view the outcome may be gathered from an account published .in the Paris Journal of a secret council held in Berlin twoweeksago. At this meeting Dr. von Bethmann-Hollwegmade the following statement: \"Our situation is bad, but if everything goes well we can stay a few more - months. If the people will be satisfied with small returns we can last until March, 1917.\" The Conservatives demanded the resumption of unrestrained submarine operations. In reply the chancellor said: \"We.have only 20 high seas submarines, divided into squadrons of five. One of these squadrons is always in dock for repairs. Our other submarines are necessary for coast defense.\" The Conservatives then de- nanded the instant building oi more submarines. Admiral von Cappelle, minister of marine, replied that last year more could not be built because of the shortage of certain metals. The chancellor then said: \"Not a day passes but I am visited by Austro-Hungarian and Turkish deputies who threaten a separate peace unless we cease the submarine warfare. They fear that after the war the allies and United States will entirely paralyze their overseas trade.\" Dr. Helfferich the imperia treasurer, remarked: \"Financially we can last through the war, but afterward bankruptcy is inevitable. We already have lost billions of marks in exchange.\" Foreign Minister von Jagow said: \"The only great power we are not at war with is the United States. Spain is favorable to us. The Swedish government and big Swedish business interests are with us. Norway is hostile. The Danish, ministry is with us, but the Danish people are against us. Holland is frankly pro ally. Switzerland is not exactly among our enemies, but is rather against us.\" Angered at the attitude of the Conservatives, Dr. von Beth- mann-Hollweg banged the table with his fist and exclaimed: \"Remember, gentlemen, we SYNOPSIS OF COAL MINING REGULATIONS pOAL MINING EIGHTS of the Dominion, in >\" Mamtoha, Saskatchkwan and Albekta, the Yukon Tehuitory, the North-west Tekri- touies and in a portion of the Province of British Columbia, muy be leased for a term of twenty-one years at an annual rental of SI an acre.

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