As we understand it, it is unlaw- ful to trap or net fish, and that this applies both to whites and to fish through the ice, This is the spawning season for. trout, and the natural love of slaughter is much stronger in the native than his respect for the conservation laws. The result is that as fast as he can the Indian completely depletes the waters of fish as he has slaughtered the deer, caribou, and other animals. The tourist gets just as much pleasure out of fishing for trout as for any other kind of fish, and the country pavs largely each year to have the fishing protected.’ Fish wardens are supposed to be on the job in all parts of the country, but why there is no fish| warden here this year is a serious oversight, and one which should be looked into immediately. Co-operation Essential - The people of Terrace have decided tc continue the annual has been appointed to carry on. The new officers: and directors realize the importance of the annual fair and’ what a loss it would be to allaw it to drop. To make it a financial success needs only the co-operation of the town. people andthe producers, - . Up to the present. time the Provincial Party has not made in proving its charges against the two old par- | ties in connection with the P.G.E., and in spite of the array of legal | talent engaged, the party finds it jmuch more difficult to prove a |charge than to make a charge. The provinee will have a.fine fat bill to meet as a result of the investigation and it is doubtful if much good will have resulted, About. the middle of June a party of several hundred weekly: newspapermen men ‘wiil leave Canada for.a trip to the British: Empire Exhibition...

You know they slipped it all over us, up here. They got the cut- off built to divert traffic to their city, although we are told water rates are cheaper than railroad through the mountains, and after they had put all this end of the transcontinental on the side-track they were still not satisfied. They dump their farm produce right into our blinking. country and we have to compete with their Ori- entals. A deuce of a lot of gall if. vou ask me; adding insult to injury. I also conclude that “we, “up here, must be a lot of blank fools and should all be in New West- minster. The so-called business men stand for it, and keep on buying their supplies there—even a good deal of what is raised right up here. They should boycott the whole outfit and do itP.D.Q. Still that is no worse than sending to the prairies for farm products. It sure seems to me that it would show better horse sense to spend that money here where they could eventuailv get it back again. We hear a lot about those poor fool ranchers who. send to. Katon’s, you know.. Thev were content to put us on a side-track. and slip it all over us generally so they had to create a new constituency and corall us in a sort of a bull pen, all by ourselves, and do yau know that all this has been put over on the Northern Interior and not even a squeak out of them. For the love of mike, are you going to be worms all your lives? If you can’t be. men, at least walk on your hind legs. If the G. T. P. had carried on as per Sir Wilfred Laurier’s ideas, Prince Rupert would be a termin- al today and, with’ ‘a few of those passenger: vessels leaving once in a ‘while,’ the whole. ‘output of Bulkley Valley and the Northern Interior would be strained to fill up the demand. . Talk about no markets. Ye gods! Wedon’t deserve any. It séems strange that business men cannat see how their interests are identical with the farmers. . - Do farmers think paying $1 into a co-op., electing a few men to run it, and going back home and staying there, till next selling season comes arourid, ‘will solve our problems?
