He is known gen- erally as a progressive business man and a man of sterling character. Following their wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Lesage left Vancouver for a short trip. They will be at home at their new residence on Fifth street after next Sunday. The Review joins the many friends | of Mr. and Mrs. Lesage in extending congratulations. ATLANTICSALMON CAUGHT HERE Local Angler Thinks Fish Taken OF Sidney Wers Planted as Pry by Government. . (By J. J. White.) For about two months salmon have been caught in the waters be- tween James Island and the Pass above Resthaven. One boat has a Tecord of nearly a. hundred fish, mostly of a variety weighing he= tween three and four pounds. Wish- ermen who have caught salmon for a number of years have’ heen shown the fish and the majority pronounce them to be “bluebacks.”’ Some say they are “‘springs,”’ and a few state they are “cohoes."’ Iam not an expert, and therefore cannot be sure I am right, but 1 Want to suggest that in my opinion the salmon which have been caught for the past two months are Atlantic salmon. I haye come to this con- clusion for the following reasous: The flesh is too deep a pink, or Tred, for cohoes, and the cohoe run is not due for some time yet. Tf the sal- mon were springs they would not be of so uniform a size, and there would no doubt be an odd white spring caught. While the flesh and color are not too good for the red springs, they certainly are for any of the Other spécies named. The spring also has a spotted tail, while the fish being caught has not. The main reason for the conclus- jon I have arrived at is this: Four years ago the Dominion Government placed several thousand Atlantic salmon fry in a stream emptying into Prospect Lake. The outlet of the lake empties into the Saanich Arm at Todd Inlet. Nearly everyone knows that for the purpose of breed- ing salmon return after an absenca of four years to the waters they dé- serted. As the fry were hatched in the hatchery at Cowichan Lake it ts reasonable to conclude that large numbers were released into the Cowichan River at the same time. The Atlantic salmon is stated by some local anglers to rise to the fly. At any rate it is a splendid game as_well as food fish, and its advent to British Columbia waters will be welcomed by those who fish for profit as well as for pleasure. GLENMORGAN FARM SOLD. A real estate transaction of much interest locally is the transfer of the Glenmorgan Farm, near Saan- ichton, Mr. J. S. H. Matson, owner of the Victoria Colonist, having pur- chased the place a ew days ago from Messrs. Talbot and Newton, of the Capital City. It is stated that Mr. Matson will greatly improve the place, and that --he contemplates making it one of the best equipped and best handled agricultural tracts on the Island. Mr. Few, who had |; a lease on the farm at the time of its transfer, will retire, it is stated. Have what you want when you Want it. Phone 42. Lesage, ths druezist.
