No. 5

Tha Omineca Miner has the largest bona fide circulation of any newspaper in the
Northern Interior of British Columbia. .

Some misunderstanding has arisen over the recent announce-
ment that the Canadian and British Governments had reached an
agreementin regard to the question of imperial naturalization.

The word agreement was scarcely well used,

What has happened

is this: The draft bill prepared by the imperial authorities has been

finally altered to meet the views of Canada.

The bill will be intro-

duced in the British House probably nextsession, says an exchange,
but will have no effect in Canada until it is adopted by the Cana-

dian Parliament.

The. practical effect will then be that Canadian

naturalization taken out under the bill will be looked upon as im-
perial naturalization and an alien naturalized in Canada will no
longer be ‘“‘a man without @ country.”

The new legislation is briefly this:

To secure naturalization in

Great Britain it will be necessary to live four years in the empire

and the fifth in the United Kingdom. Canada will pass similar! ¢.

legislation, making it necessary

and the last year in the Dominion.

to live four years in the empire
At present the British natur-

alization laws call for five years’ residence in Great Britain, and

the Canadian laws only demand three years in the Dominion.

The

papers of a man naturalized under the proposed new-law in Canada
would then be recognized in Great Britain and he would be given
all the rights and privileges of a British subject, the State Depart-
ments of both countries retaining discretionary powers,

If the present anomalous situation can be removed by the
passing of the legislation which is new proposed, it will be a dis-
tinct advance in the imperial movement.

Fast continental fish trains are
to be put in service east from
Prince Rupert as soon as the
Grand Trunk Pacific is completed,
itis understood, and equipment
is now being built, | The service
will be like that of the fast silk
trains of the Canadian Pacific
which scurry east with big, raw
silk cargoes brought to Vancou-
ver by the Oriental liners.

The north Pacific teems with
fish, From whales to herring,
there seems to be an unlimited
supply. A great fisheries indus-
try has been started, but those
familiar with the important fish-
ing activities about Prince Ru-
pert say this is only a beginning
* of the business to be developed
when the railway is completed
and through trains offer direct
shipment east. '

Already Prince Rupert fisheries
-are sending cod to Boston, com-
peting with the Massachusetts
eod fishers, and a shipment of
700 tons of herring is now en
route to Vancouver from Queen
Charlotte Islands, to be shipped
to the Orient by the liner Mont-

“Yeagle when she sails this week.:

The already wide market for the
halibut, cod, salmon and herring
of the North will be much ex-
tended when direct rail shipments
are made possible by the new
road, - ,
