Ravey and \\Villiam Brown, prominent Vancouver business men, have just returned from a trip to the Anaham Lake country, a part of Bella Goola's hinterland that is rapidly gaining well deserved notoriety as a first-class stock country; it being in the latter connection that these gentlemen are interested.\" Both parties express themselves as-'highly pleased with the country, and brought out with them samples of \"red-top\" 3 1-2 feet high, besides other excellent feed-grasses of various varieties. The temperature in the daytime at Anaham was . found to range around 90 degrees in the sun. Mr. Ravey, who has had considerable experience as a pioneer, having spent twelve years in Alaska, previous to which he travelled through Manitoba and the North-West, says: \"Never have 1 seen game more plentiful. On Salmon River the water seemed black with wild geese, and ducks of all descriptions, and within gun-shot of our camp fire we secured good bags of grouse, prairie chickens and'ducks. The Lakes and Rivers are teeming with trout of various kinds, it requiring only a few minutes to obtain all you need for a meal. We sighted two bears on the trip, one exceptionally large one being in Bella Coola Valley. The Indians in the Anaham country are making a pronounced success of cattle raising. One man had justcut 120 tons of wild hay, which has proven to be first class cattle feed, and never have I seen animals in better shape than were those belonging to these Indians. On the trip we met Mr. W. Denham Verschoyle, promoter of the Pacific & Hudson Bay Railway Company, who had been inspecting some valuable iron properties in which he is interested. Mr. Verschoyle seemed very optimistic regarding the success of his venture. This will mean much to this country, which only requires transportation facilites in order to provide homes for hundreds of settlers.\" Speaking of Bella Coola Valley, Mr. Ravey says: \"This is indeed The Stampede to Tahtsa River Easy Access by Way of Bella Coola ������Telkwa, B.C., Sept. 25.

The fear that the oit-repeated error might be made, was uttered some considerable time ago in a letter to the Courier from a person who is frequently engaged in freighting, and it is disappointing to find that the warning has been so utterly disregarded.

Was this all bluff on the part of Messrs Owens and McMullen ? It certainly looks like it. Perhaps we judge hastily. Perhaps the matter was submitted to our Mr. William Manson, and if so, we do not wonder greatly at it taking four years for the need of a lock-up at this place to be appreciated by him. What does he know about Bella Coola, except what he is told by perhaps two persons, who themselves are too bigoted to. even become well informed. We have had one visit from the district government agent, and that on the occasion of our annual Empire day celebration. Probably on this occasion he gained all the knowledge he.required in order to properly understand local conditions; atany- rate he spent at least ten minutes at a street corner in company with two or three local residents, the remainder of the time, being along -with Mr. Manson, under the sheltering wing of the local road superintendent, who, bye- the-way, if hot then, has .since been accepted by the Public Works Department as an expert on the building of lock-ups. Broughton and Wheeler, Mr Owens took no chances, and at once placed an extra guard of special constables over the prisoners, who were incarcerated, in a bedroom over the local bank. Still afraid that the prisoners might slip through his fingers, before the arrival of the Princess Beatrice on Friday, Mr. Owens decided to take the men with him- to Bella Bella on Thursday jn a launch, when by transhipping to the Camosun for Prince Rupert and again transhipping they could eventually be safely landed at New'Westminster. Who. is to Blame The story of how tenders were called for the building of a'lock- up and constable's quarters at Bella Coola as, long ago as last May, and how. the Public Works Engineer sent a certain firm's tender to the local road superintendent for him to report upon. How���������as it so happened���������this latter official reported adversely, and finally how this work is now being held as a winter's-job for .certain persons on the inside, is now too well known to need repetition. Enough for us to say that apart from a little work done towards \"clearing the proposed site, Bella Coola is as far from having a lock-up as it ever was. Who is to blame? Maybe Mr. McMullen the district government agent. Let us see. - Some four years ago,'shortly after.Mr. McMullen received his. appointment to his present position-, he was visited at Prince Rupert by a certain influential local resident, who put the matter of a lock-up before him so clearly that he became enthused; and insisted on taking the party to the office of the chief constable, Mr. Owens, before whom the matter was again thoroughly discussed, with the result that the government agent and the chief constable professed to clearly see the need Of the lock-up and even expressed some suprise that no such place existed at Bella Coola. One of these gentlemen, however, expressed his opinion that nothing could be done at that time, as a special vote of money would have to be obtained for the purpose; but was quickly set to rights by the other, who assured his hearers that money for the building of lock-ups, where required, was always available. Evidently one of these important officials did not know this, or was the other in error in making the correction? Surely either of these gentlemen might be expected to know, but one of them certainly did not. .Talking about visits, the Courier has already recorded.the recent hurried visit of Mr. Owens in connection with the Kimsquit murder case. This latest visit and its effect, apart from its connection with such a horrible affair, was in itself distinctly ludicrous. . It is easy to imagine Mr.,0wens in his office at Prince Rupert- responsible for the lives and property of the inhabitants of his district���������hearing the news of one of the darkest, deeds that' has ever stained the history of this country since it became civilized, and-learning that at Bella Coola were being held two men, the alleged perpetrators of this terrible crime. It is'not difficult to picture Mr. Owens, cognizant of thewfact that, owing to\" his negligence of���������or at anyrate indifference to^-rhis duties, there existed noplace at Bella Coola suitable for the accommodation of these men, and afraid that in case the men escaped from custody, he would be open to severe censure, which he certainly would have been, it is easy to imagine him, conscience stricken, making all haste for Bella Coola; Landing here in an excited We might say that had the proposed lock-up been completed, Mr. Owens would have had no need to become excited, as it would have been just as impossible for the prisoners to escape as for him to reach the lock-up without a boat, as the day after his arrival the proposed site was covered by several feet of water. -This site was chosen by the acknowledged expert of the Public Works department ��������� the local road superintendent���������and.is evidently satisfactory to Mr. Owens; and as the latter did not take the trouble to go and inspect the place for himself it is obvious that he -also acknowledges, the infallibility of the road superintendent in all matters pertaining to lock-ups. \\ ��������� - \" > In regard to the choosing' of the proposed site for the lock-up, it must not be forgotten that the \"final choice was only made with the sanction of Mr. Baxter, Inspector of Public Works for this district, who having visited this valley perhaps three times in his life, must necessarily .have 'accurate knowledge of local conditions at all times of the year. Or did he also accept'the assurance of the local expert?

Thus, Liberals become a critical body of men to lead. Their natural attitude of mind toward any proposition brought before them ���������whether by friend or opponent���������is one of frank enquiry and careful scrutiny. They take nothing for granted. Many of them, were they persons of the* '.'open your mouth and shut your eyes\" order, would still be in the ranks of Toryism, where that-sort of fidelity is valued and rewarded; like the Tory Senator who said, \"As for me, I seize hold of the coat-tails of my leader and I will follow him to the gates of hell, and even then I will not let go 'till I get well scorched.\" Our Liberal leaders, however, know full well that they must do without this sort of canine fideli- I ty.

VANCOUVER, B.C. \"THE BEST YET\" Made in British Columbia We are surprised at a' newspaper whi civ professes to believe ,that the creation of a Canadian navy wOuld lead to separation from the British Empire publishing the following, dispatch from Sydney, Australia: -������ Speaking at a banquet given by the Chamber of Commerce to the British Padiamerrtary party, Admiral Sir George King-Hall of the British navy, who will return shortly to England said: \"It is a great fallacy to suppose that the initiation of a.'Royal Australian Navy must weaken and in time dissolve the connection between Great Britain and one of her most vigorous sons. Not so, it will have the reverse effect if our Empire rulers have only ordinary wisdom and common sense. Where danger is, there will be found the Royal Australian Navy flying the same white ensign-that was flown by Nelson at Trafalgar.\" THE OLD BATTLE. Mr. Hawkes states the situation precisely when he says the old battle of autonomy against centralized government is being fought over again. Canadians who thought that question had been settled forever overated the patriotism of many of their fellow-countrymen. Four years ago they could not have dreamed that the leaders of a great party, then proclaiming the doctrine of Canadian self-reliance in matters of naval defence, would today be seeking to drive Canada into the role of tribute-payer, and decrying Canadian manhood and'Can- adian nationhood. ��������� Brockville Recorder.
