Although reports from 'British Col- umbia indicate that the salmon pack last year was the lm'geet on record, it inuat not be Inferred.thevofrom that the salmon industry is still 00 flourish- ing ae ever, Tho facts are, as report. ed by J. P, fat -Osceola Asst, Commis- sioner of Fisheries for the province, that the large pane is due entirely to the increase from, and the utilization of, the "pinks" and "chums," varie- ties of the salmon, for which there was no sale Instil the sockeye became wane, The run to, the Fraser during 1918 was "very 111(1011 the smallet& ever known, The river may be told to be fished out of sockeye, and the run of pink salmon, which wag not used previous to' the war, is .teat dis- appearing," The- sockeye ,00mntancls a nigher price than any otller'Pacilio salmon and it Is the salmon [fiat made the Fraser' River neheries famous. The destruction of this valuable fish is exactly in line with a prediction made by Mr. Babcock before the Com- mission of Conservation in 1917, A Fateful Rocksllge. In the year 1913, a big rockslide, in- cident to railway construction work, occurr$d in Hellgate canon on the Fraser River. This slide was..nothing short of it calamity to the sockeye sal - Mon -fishing industryein British Colunn- bin. All familiar with the conditions there know that a phenomenon known as the "big run" takes place everyYe four years. Big runs occurred in 1905, 1909 and again iii 1913, the fate- ful year of the big slide. In each of these years the run of sockeye was. very Winch larger than in the inter- vening years, The phenomenon of the "big year" is due to the Soot that the sockeye takes four pears to mature. Thus, the fish of 1913 were abundant because of the abundant spawning in the year 1909. The slide above-mlnttened unfor- tunately occurred during a "big run" year. It so narrowed the_river ,that the force of the• water was too groat for even the sockeye to overcome and they were unable to reach their spawn- ing beds. Although tae slide was re- moved before'1.014, it was too late to allow many fish of the X13 run to as - wand the river, and, in consegneuce, most of the sockeye of that year failed to spawn. It was feared, therefore, 'that tide run iu 1917 would be seriorlsly-re- duced. The fear was only too well. founded. The pack for that year in the Fraser River district • was only about one-fifth of that in 1913, and there is little doubt that the pack for 1921 will be still less, In fact, the phenomenon of the "big run" has been wiped out ancl,,now, all years are lean years for sockeye, so rar as that dis. trict is 'concerned. Carelessness of U.S. Senate. Another factor enters into the situa- tion, The fishery might be perpetua- ted and in some degree restored if conservative fishing were practised and if sufficient fish were permitted to pass us; to the spawning grounds, Unfortunately, Canada cannot of her- self limit the fishing, as the sockeye, in its course from the ocean, passes through waters under the jurisdiction of the state of Washington. Canada has repeatedly manifested her willing- ness to enforce remedial men.sures, Following an investigation in 1005, by a joint Commission representing Canada and the state of Washington, the Dominion offered to suspend all sockeye fishing in the Fraser River district during 1906 and 1908, condi- tional upon iclentic action by that state. The State Legislature refused to take the desired action. In 1908, Great Britain and the United States concluded a convention providing for the protection, preserva tion and propagation of the sockeye, but the United States Senate, after years of delay, refused to approve the treaty. This year, a new treaty is awaiting action by the United Statos,,Senate. It provides for an international cons - mission of two Canadians and two Americans to make investigations and to puke such recommendations gov- erning the fishing as niay appear de- sirable. . It is earnestly to be hoped that this proposed treaty will go into effect and that the recommendations will be ace -ell upon. Otherwise, the ,Fraser River sockeye Is simply threatened with ex- termination, Canada has done and will do all she can to preserve this valuable food fish: The fate of the sockeye lies in tlyhavds of the state of Washington. ! !.'Love: All That Is Fair. 1 love all that is fair • And lovely to behold, The full-blown rose that on the air Gives love a launclted-fold ; " Twilight anti midnight hours, • A stretch or starlit sea.

OLD MOTHER HUBBARD A KING'S DAUGHTER St. Elizabeth of Hungary is sup• posed to have been the origimrl of "Old Mother Hubbard," She lived in the thirteenth century and was a daughter of a Hungarian Ring. She became the wife of Louis, Lrunigrave Of Thuringia, and awned renown for her benefactions. She transformed the Royal palace into a refuge for the sick and tho poor and built hospitals and homes for them all over the land. Her sympathy for the sufferings of others was such that she travelled through her domains and personally nursed the afflicted, After the dentll of her husband she was driven from the palace and spent the remainder of her brief llfe in wandering the streets, her only refuge being the hovels of the poor people she had served and be- ' Mended. At her death thousands wept over the pauper's grave, The use of passenger cars anti com- mercial trucks in .cities and country districts has displaced ninny millions of horses, This is an enormous save ing in grain, time and labor. 1: Ls r�7 *• PORK POR AND . -u eY !"

Although reports from 'British Col- umbia indicate that the salmon pack last year was the lm'geet on record, it inuat not be Inferred.thevofrom that the salmon industry is still 00 flourish- ing ae ever, Tho facts are, as report. ed by J. P, fat -Osceola Asst, Commis- sioner of Fisheries for the province, that the large pane is due entirely to the increase from, and the utilization of, the "pinks" and "chums," varie- ties of the salmon, for which there was no sale Instil the sockeye became wane, The run to, the Fraser during 1918 was "very 111(1011 the smallet& ever known, The river may be told to be fished out of sockeye, and the run of pink salmon, which wag not used previous to' the war, is .teat dis- appearing," The- sockeye ,00mntancls a nigher price than any otller'Pacilio salmon and it Is the salmon [fiat made the Fraser' River neheries famous. The destruction of this valuable fish is exactly in line with a prediction made by Mr. Babcock before the Com- mission of Conservation in 1917, A Fateful Rocksllge. In the year 1913, a big rockslide, in- cident to railway construction work, occurr$d in Hellgate canon on the Fraser River. This slide was..nothing short of it calamity to the sockeye sal - Mon -fishing industryein British Colunn- bin. All familiar with the conditions there know that a phenomenon known as the "big run" takes place everyYe four years. Big runs occurred in 1905, 1909 and again iii 1913, the fate- ful year of the big slide. In each of these years the run of sockeye was. very Winch larger than in the inter- vening years, The phenomenon of the "big year" is due to the Soot that the sockeye takes four pears to mature. Thus, the fish of 1913 were abundant because of the abundant spawning in the year 1909. The slide above-mlnttened unfor- tunately occurred during a "big run" year. It so narrowed the_river ,that the force of the• water was too groat for even the sockeye to overcome and they were unable to reach their spawn- ing beds. Although tae slide was re- moved before'1.014, it was too late to allow many fish of the X13 run to as - wand the river, and, in consegneuce, most of the sockeye of that year failed to spawn. It was feared, therefore, 'that tide run iu 1917 would be seriorlsly-re- duced. The fear was only too well. founded. The pack for that year in the Fraser River district • was only about one-fifth of that in 1913, and there is little doubt that the pack for 1921 will be still less, In fact, the phenomenon of the "big run" has been wiped out ancl,,now, all years are lean years for sockeye, so rar as that dis. trict is 'concerned. Carelessness of U.S. Senate. Another factor enters into the situa- tion, The fishery might be perpetua- ted and in some degree restored if conservative fishing were practised and if sufficient fish were permitted to pass us; to the spawning grounds, Unfortunately, Canada cannot of her- self limit the fishing, as the sockeye, in its course from the ocean, passes through waters under the jurisdiction of the state of Washington. Canada has repeatedly manifested her willing- ness to enforce remedial men.sures, Following an investigation in 1005, by a joint Commission representing Canada and the state of Washington, the Dominion offered to suspend all sockeye fishing in the Fraser River district during 1906 and 1908, condi- tional upon iclentic action by that state. The State Legislature refused to take the desired action. In 1908, Great Britain and the United States concluded a convention providing for the protection, preserva tion and propagation of the sockeye, but the United States Senate, after years of delay, refused to approve the treaty. This year, a new treaty is awaiting action by the United Statos,,Senate. It provides for an international cons - mission of two Canadians and two Americans to make investigations and to puke such recommendations gov- erning the fishing as niay appear de- sirable. . It is earnestly to be hoped that this proposed treaty will go into effect and that the recommendations will be ace -ell upon. Otherwise, the ,Fraser River sockeye Is simply threatened with ex- termination, Canada has done and will do all she can to preserve this valuable food fish: The fate of the sockeye lies in tlyhavds of the state of Washington. ! !.'Love: All That Is Fair. 1 love all that is fair • And lovely to behold, The full-blown rose that on the air Gives love a launclted-fold ; " Twilight anti midnight hours, • A stretch or starlit sea.

OLD MOTHER HUBBARD A KING'S DAUGHTER St. Elizabeth of Hungary is sup• posed to have been the origimrl of "Old Mother Hubbard," She lived in the thirteenth century and was a daughter of a Hungarian Ring. She became the wife of Louis, Lrunigrave Of Thuringia, and awned renown for her benefactions. She transformed the Royal palace into a refuge for the sick and tho poor and built hospitals and homes for them all over the land. Her sympathy for the sufferings of others was such that she travelled through her domains and personally nursed the afflicted, After the dentll of her husband she was driven from the palace and spent the remainder of her brief llfe in wandering the streets, her only refuge being the hovels of the poor people she had served and be- ' Mended. At her death thousands wept over the pauper's grave, The use of passenger cars anti com- mercial trucks in .cities and country districts has displaced ninny millions of horses, This is an enormous save ing in grain, time and labor. 1: Ls r�7 *• PORK POR AND . -u eY !"
