Apart from Canada's share in the Great Lakes fisheries, which are valued commercially at some $3,000,000 annually, there are tremendous bodies`of fresh water lit - rally teeming with fish of the highly edible cfualities. In all the three Prairie Provincee, numerous lakes and rivers, covering nearly 31,000 square miles in area, abound in valuable food fishes. White- fish, the most abundant species, is un- excelled in quality and is in great demand, while pickerel, tullibee, lake' trout, pike, goldeyes and sturgeon, with its attendant product caviare, beyond monetary value. Some of the greatest lakes in the continent — Reindeer, Aehabaska, Great Slave, Great Bear—and hun- dreds of other important but smaller bodies of water are still beyond mull of commercial exploitation through lack of transportation facilities. BASIS OF NEW INDUSTY. • During the past eouple of years, according to information issued by the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior, there has been introduced into this inland fishing industry, a new branch of unusual economic importance, namely,' the filleting of pike. Here- tofore this kind of fish had no market also find a ready market.

Some summer fish- ing also takes place, the catch being marketed in the nearby towns. The value of the fisheries from the so-called prairie provinces, according to the latest official returns, is $2,- 365,000 annually, although if the value of fish caught for domestic and sport anglers' use could be estimated duct is thus displayed in retail shops appeals favorably to the ultimate consumer, Enterprising fish dealers in some eastern sections are now ad- vertising their products in this form CANADA'S BIG LEGATION IN WASHINGTON.

It is sometimes overlooked hit if there are British residents in China there is also a far bigger Chinese, population in British territory. Mr. John H. Harris, speaking at Darlington, England, recently upon "The Chinese Peril," said that over 5,100 Chinese were resident in the British Isles, and over 1,580,000 within the British Empire. In Can- ada alone there were over 40,000, or nearly three times as many as the total number of British subjects in the whole et China. With very few exceptions, there had been accorded to the persons and property of these 1,560000 Chinese all the privileges and protection of British law and ad- ne'etistration, and none could deny that their livee and their quite exten- sive and valuable property were as safe as the lives and property of our •own subjects. We were entitled to ask from the Chinese the same inea. sure of protection for the 14,000 Brit- ish subjects and their property, in Mena., as British Governments were giving to the 1,58,0;000 Chinese living within the British Empire. Beyond this we ought not to insist upon being acoorded any special privileges.
