After this had been done the Ger- man officer in command told us that his orders had been misin- terpreted, that he only wanted mattresses. “On Tuesday, August 25, many of the troops had left town.

SKeY passengers the Sunday last was Mr by MecGarrigie, who comes to take up the post of teacher at the Mackenzie School. Mr. MeGarr:- gle commenced his duties on Monday and speaks in high terms of the standard of efficiency and apparent willingness of his pu- pils. Among the outgoing passengers by the Camosun on Sunday was Mr. Robert Lowe, who left for Vancouver, where he intends to enlist for active service. Mr. Lowe is an experienced soldier, having served his term in the Household Cavalry in the old land. Cohoe fishing proceeds satis- factorily at the local cannery. The average catch by the fisher- men last week was very satisfac- tory, and there is every prospect that the preparations for a large pack will not have been made in vain. Dull times are hardly notice- able in Bella Coola Valley. More houses are in course of construc- tion and others are being enlarg- ed or improved. Mr. Thommeson is building a residence on the main road west of the Neeleets- connay. bridge, and Mr. E Evilsi- sor is busy on a new house in the town. Mrs. Nygaard is having her house considerably improved. Altogether there quite a re- vival in the building trade.
