It has developed during the course of a discussion in the senate that the last Canadian loan of $100,000,000 in New York netted the Dominion government the sum of $96^250,000. This means that therl country paid $3,750,000 for flotation expenses, surely a very high price'in an . allied market. The bonds, we are further told, will net the buyers slightly over six per cent. The whole loan, if repaid at the end of two years, will have cost the country $12,000,000 in interest and $3,750,000 in flotation expenses���������a total of $15,750,000. If, as asserted in the commons, this loan was not negotiated to pay interest,.among other things, on loans'already in existence but was negotiated to balance exchange, it will become obvious that all the people are being . taxed nearly $16,000,000 in two years for the benefit of those individual Canadians doing busi- nes in the United States. o, o o o, o Normally, exports should pay for imports, but when a nation buys more than it sells exchange goes against it���������that is, unless the debtor nation ships gold to m ike up the difference. Canada has no gold to ship to the United States, so we resort to the expensive expedient of borrowing money there in order that certain Canadian can pay their bills there at par. This is good financing for the Canadian trader but mighty poor business for the Canadian people at large. Of course, the natural correction of exchange is the shipping of more goods to cthe United States, but we can't do that very well, because of our tariff wall, which is maintained against us by our own desire. , o o o o o : A report of a non-partisan meetingof Alberta farmers, who wired the premier strongly protesting against the action of the board of grain supervisors prohibiting the export of wheat to the United States. . The farmers reminded the government that j it had removed the duty on wheat. They might also have reminded the administration that only by larger exports could the trade balance against us be remedied. But perhaps so Ion g as the government can float loans in order that individual Canadi ans can do business in the United States without a discount, loans that all the people must pay, the appeal of the farmers will not be considered. 0 O' O u O ' o The farmers of Alberta can i'see that there is something wrorg in this heavy borrowing of money to convenience some millionaires that are in the trade of adding more to their millions at the people's expanse, but the farmers and others in British Columbia can not see that borrowing is at its best bad business on the part of individuals as well as nations. When the time of repaying loans with millions in interest comes along the people will then begin to realize what they are up against. Great Britain is paying her war expenditure as she' goes along, . whj should not Canada try to do the same? 01 O . O ' Ct o Conscription Not a Shield. Conscription means that a hundred thousand more men will be called upon to serve the state. It does not mean that Sir Robert Borden and his colleagues are to be absolved from their duty of serving the state, or that they are to be exempt from criticism. The government cannot shield itself behind the soldiers. Conscription of men is not an excuse for failure to conscript wealth, or to make wealth pay its-fair share of taxation. The men at the front are'giving, the men who will go to the front will give, all that .they have to the service of the state. It is strange that they shall pay not only theirown debt, but the debt of the profiteers, who are not only escaping their share of the burden, but making money out of the war. Those who are sac-' rificing all to the nation and the cause should not also be regarded as making a sacrifice for the profiteers. On the contrary, the conscription of men, and the service and sacrifice of soldiers, are powerful arguments for making others do their share. Those who are not called upon to fight should pay. Those who are not asked wealth to the cause. Money should not be regarded as more sacred than life. Conscription of men does not excuse the government for its whitewashing of the Hon. Robert Rogers, which has discredited it in the eyes o'f a large element of the people. Service on the field does not condone lack of vigor at home. Conscription is a national measure, adopted for the safety of the nation,' not for the fafety of the government or the strengthening 'of a party. It is not a plank in a'political,platform nor is it right to play politics with a great Star. national issue.���������Toronto That the reasons why recruiting has not been attended with the success that it should have been in the' province of Quebec and other eastern provinces are many, but the real reason may be that the people of these provinces, being nearer to Ottawa, are more familiar with the doings of the government than the people of British Columbia, where the largest percentage of soldiers have enlisted. Former minister of militia, Col. Sam Hughes, enlightened the House of Commons a short time ago on many matters, both as to the inner workings in the different offices at r, Ottawa and also,the Canadian war office in London. Col. Hughes says that in his time as minister of militia General Carson ad-: ministered the whole of Canada's war department in England with less than fifty men, and did it well and efficiently, although the high commissioner for Canada in London, Sir George Perley, way and it takes 1500 men to do! this same job and, according to Sir Sam, he is not doing it half as well. He also challenged the premier to deny that he did not see this state of things going on all the while he sported around in England. Further, Sir Sam states that there are six buildings filled with these gentlemen. Answering a question, the ex- minister said that he understood these fifteen hundred were principally men in uniform and he did not know why they were not at the front, and again reiterated that his information was that there were six buildings full of gentlemen doing the work which was formerly done by General Carlson and his fifty men, which included the clerical service and quartermaster-general's staff. There can be no doubt that there is a lot of this class of inefficiency and incompetency on the part of the present govern- r ment. It is no wonder that recruiting has been so slack in the east, where they had an intimate knowledge of the workings of Sir Robert Borden and his friends. o o -:'0..\"..:o \" o , r To Claim Compensation.

CZD HTHE REASONS for this enviable cor.di- ���������* 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.

No party government, Liberal or Conservative, is qualified to give the solution to the great problems .which are facing the nation today. The election of even a strong Liberal government, whole-heartedly supporting the nation's cause, not owing its election or its continuance in office to Quebec, support, would be a mistake. Both would handicap the nation's effectiveness in the great struggle which is becoming ever more critical. But more than all it would be a mistake, - perhaps irretrievable, to elect a ministry ,to which the support of the Quebec represen- tatives would be essential. Anything is better than that���������and the people of the West know it even though some politicians apparently will not recognize it. ���������Saskatoon Star. WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA. When the new shoots of alfalfa at the crown of the plant are from one to two inches high the crop is ready to be cut for hay, is the advice given by specialists of the Ohio Agricultural Experimental Station. The common rule that the crop --must not be; cut until a tenth in bloom does not always hold, these experts claim, for often the small shoots at thebase of the plant get so large before this period of bloom that' they are injured at harvest.

The public schools of the valley opened after the summer vacation on Tuesday last. W. H. Mackay is in charge of the lower school and Miss M. Hanna the Mackenzie school. The weather has been most beautiful the last two weeks and quite warm. There has been some anxiety of a possible outbreak of timber fire, but so far this section of the coast has escaped, and may, as the rainy season will soon be here. Fishing during the week was somewhat hampered by a heavy northwind blowing for a few days.

McAnn, representing the Leeson, Dickie, Gross & Co. Ltd., wholesale grocers of Vancouver, spent a couple of days in town in the interest of his firm. The S.S. Celtic of the B. C. Coast Steamship Co., came in with a consignment of freight for the Tallio Fisheries and after discharging there, shifted over to the Bella Cooia cannery and loaded a shipment of salmon for Vancouver. The premier, Hon. H. C. Brewster; Hon. Wm. Sloan, minister of mines; Hon. Dr. J. H. King, minister of public work; Hon. J. Oliver, minister of agriculture; and Hon. T. D. Pattullo, minister of lands, are at present touring northern and central British Columbia in the interests of their respective departments to ascertain for themselves the conditions in the hitherto partly unknown portions of the province, with an eye towards remedying the present unsatisfactory conditions and also to obtain first hand information on which the government can base their plans for future development. It is in line with the policy of the present administration that its ministers should acquaint themselves, personally, with all matters coming under their respective departments. It is to be hoped that the present tour, which is the first that has been undertaken since the new government took office, will be of great benefit to the north. Mrs. Capt. Stephenson of Hagensborg, has presented to the Bella Coola Red Cross Auxiliary a fine handworked mat, 4 feet in diameter, which will be drawn for at Bella Coola. Tickets may Indian agent I. Fougner, returned from Kitimat. and the other Indian villages in his agency. He reports that all the braves under his charge are financially well off and the condition among them is generally good. The reason for this is that the Indians can obtain employment in the canneries during the - fishing season and outside of that they are engaged in hand- logging or in the camps of the different concerns operating on the coast. John Widsten, fisheries officer, is at present looking over the lakes and spawning grounds at the head of the Bella Coola river. It is the intention to have all the present obstructions in the river removed and the officials of the fisheries department are looking over same to determine the amount required for their removal. There are log jams that absolutely block the passage, of the salmon to the spawning beds and it is important that these obstructions be removed at once: The Courier again reminds the settlers of the valley to make an extra effort to make a display of vegetables and other farm produce at the coming exhibition at Prince Rupert, on the 19th, 20th and 21st of this'month. Early arrangements should be made for transportation so that the exhibits will arrive in the northern city in time as well as in perfect condition.

The farmers of Alberta can see that there is something wror g in this heavy borrowing of money to convenience some millionaires that are i-n the trade of adding-.more to their millions at the people's expense, but the farmers and othors in British Columbia can not see, that borrowing is.at its best bad business on the part of individuals as well as nations. When the time of repaying loans with millions inin- terest comes along the people will then begin to realize what they are up against. Great Britain is paying her war expenditure as she goes along, , why should not Canada try to do the same? . Expansive Borrowing. It has developed during the course of a discussion in the senate that the last Canadian loan of $100,000,000 in New York netted the Dominion government the sum. of $96,250,000. This means that .the- country paid $3,750,000 for flotation expenses, surely a very high price in an allied market. The bonds, we are further told, will net the buyers slightly over six per cent. The whole loan, if repaid at the end of two years, will have.cost the country $12,000,000 in interest and $3,750,000 in \"flotation expenses���������a .total of $15,750,000. If, as asserted in \"the\" commons, this loan was'not .negotiated to pay in terest^mong other things; on loans already in existence but I burden, butmaking money out was negotiated to balance.ex- of the war. Those who are sac- Conscription Not a Shield. Conscription means that a hundred thousand more men will be called upon to serve the state. It does not mean that SirRobert Borden and his colleagues are to be absolved from their duty of serving the state, or that they are to be exempt from criticism. The government cannot shield itself behind the soldiers. Conscription of men is not an excuse for failure to conscript wealth, or to make wealth pay its fair share of taxation.\" -The men at the front are \"giving, the men who. will go to the front will give, all that they have to the service of the state.. It is strange that they-shall pay,not only their own debt, but-the. debt of the profiteers, who are'not only escaping their share of .the change, it will become obvious that all the people are being taxed nearly $16,000,000 in two years for the benefit of those individual Canadians doing busi- nes in the United States. o o o o o Normally, exports should pay for imports, but when a nation buys more than it sells exchange goes against it���������that is, unless the debtor nation ships gold to ���������make up the difference. Canada has no gold to ship to the United States,,so we_resort to the expensive expedient of borrowing money there in order that certain Canadian can pay their bills there at par. This is good financing for the Canadian trader but mighty poor business for the. Canadian .people at large. Of course, the natural correction of exchange is the shipping of more goods to the United States, but we can't do that very well because of our tariff wall, which is maintained against us by our own desire. o o o o o A report of a non-partisan meeting of Alberta farmers, who wired the premier strongly protesting against the action of the board of grain supervisors prohibiting the export of wheat to the United States. The farmers reminded the government that it had removed the duty on wheat. They might also have reminded the administration that only by larger exports could the trade balance against us be remedied. But perhaps so long as the government can float loans in order that individual Canadi- wealth to the cause. Money should not be regarded as more sacred than life. Conscription of men does not excuse the government for its whitewashing of the Hon. Robert Rogers, which has discredited it in the eyes of a large ele- ment of the people. .Service on the field does not condone lack of vigor at home. Conscription is a national measure; adopted for the safety of the nation, not.for the fafety of the government or the strengthening of a party. It is. not a plank in a-political platform nor is ii right to play politics with a great national issue.���������Toronto Star. '���������-.\"'\"' ������ O O ������ O ' That the reasons why recruiting has not been attended with the success that it should have been in the province' of Quebec and other eastern provinces are many, but the real reason may be that the people of these provinces.1 being nearer to Ottawa, are more familiar with the doings of thegovernment than the. people of British Columbia, where the largest percentage of soldiers have enlisted. Former ^minister of militia, Col. Sam Hughes, enlightened the House of Commons a short time ago on many matters, both as to the inner'workings in the different offices at Ottawa and also the Canadian waroffice in London. Col. Hughes says that in his time as minister of militia General Carson administered the whole of Canada's wardepartment in England with less than fifty men, and did it well and efficiently, although the high.commissioner for Canada pay. Those who are not asked in London, Sir George Perley, to risk life or limb, or even to attempted to thwart the general give up ease and comfort, should in his work at every turn. Now be compelled to contribute their {Sir George is doing it all his own rificing all to the nation and the cause should not also be regarded as making a sacrifice for the profiteers. On the contrary, the conscription of men, and the service and sacrifice of soldiers, are powerful arguments for making others do their share. Those who are not called upon to fight should way and it lakes 1500 men to do this same job and, according to Sir Sam, he is not doing it half as well. He also challenged the premier to deny that he did not see this state of things going on all the while he sported around in England. Further, Sir Sam states that there are six buildings filled with these gentlemen. Answering a question, the ex- minister said that he understood these fifteen hundred were principally men in uniform and he did noUcnow why they were not at the front, and again reiterated thaVhis information was that there were six buildings full of gentlemen doing the work which was formerly done by General Carlson, and his fifty men, which included the clerical service and quartermaster-general's staff. There can be no doubt that there is a lot of this class of inefficiency and incompetency on the part of the present government. It is no wonder that recruiting has been so slack in the east, where they had an intimate knowledge of the workings of Sir Robert Borden and his friends. To Claim Compensation.

Re Overdue Payments on Applications to Purchase Crown Lands in British Columbia. KTOTICE is hereby given that, under ^ ^ the provisions of the \"Soldiers' Homestead Act, Repeal Act,\" any person who did not apply under the \"Soldiers' Homestead Act, 1916,\" to complete his application to purchase, either by payment in full or by the selection of a proportionate allotment, may, by proving his interest and paying up in full the balance of the purchase price and taxes before the,31st December, 1917, obtain a Crown grant if proof satisfactory to the Minister of Lands is furnished that such person is suffering injury through absence of notice or otherwise. And further that the interest in uncompleted applications to purchase held by any person on Active Service may be protected by notification to the Lands Department of the.fact that such person is on Active Service and by the filing of proof of the interest of such person. , Further information will be furnished on request to the Deputy Minister of Lands, Victoria, B. C. Publication of this notice without authority will not be paid for. jel4 election. There will be no chance of an election for another four years. Now we wonder if Mr. Bowser is to remain silent on this very important subject for four years. We trust, however, that the leader of the opposition, while keeping the government straight in its' business, will not forget to remind the Hon. H. C. Brewster and his ministers that they also owe a little attention to the central part of British Columbia, that has been so sadly neglected in the past. o o o o o The Conscription Act is now law. However, the government at Ottawa has appointed a committee, or advisory council, to say who and who shall hot be conscripted. Farmers, miners, fishermen, and all those who can claim that they are engaged in industries essential to the winning of the war will be exempted. This will give the monied interest another lease oi life. They can hit on something to do that will satisfy the Borden government of their honesty ol purpose. WATER NOTICE DIVERSION AND USE.

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. T>ELLA 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.
