Babcock Return From Visit To Queen Charlotte Islands Where Investigations Were Held For Scientific Information Dr. Gilbert, professor of zoology in Stanford University, accompanied by J. P. Babcock, the fishery expert of the Provincial Government, returned from the Queen Charlottes on Dominion Day. Dr. Gilbert will go south, while Mr. Babcock has left for the Naas and other points to investigate the fishing conditions. The visit of Dr. Gilbert Is for the purpose of studying the life history of the salmon, a work he was engaged in last season also. On the Queen Charlottes he was able to gather some important data. Dr. Gilbert, together with Mr. Babcock, is convinced that the life history of the sockeye salmon extends over four years normally, or five years at the longest. Last year, as a result of his investigations he contributed to the annual report of the CHILDREN'S GAMES HELD YESTERDAY DOMINION DAY WAS NOT ALLOWED TO PASS WITHOUT 4 REMINDER FOR YOUNG. Chief Vickers Played Important Part In Arranging for a Programme of Sports. W. H. Vickers, chief of police, as usual saw to it that the younger element in the city were not deprived of their usual Dominion Day sports. He made a collection for the purpose and arranged for a series of events on July 1. Unfortunately there came a shower just at the time that the sports were to be put on and it was decided to postpone them for a day. The programme was carried out yesterday with Chief Vickers as chief in command and a small committee assisting. Some interesting events were held. The results of the various running events were as follows: Boys under (i—1 Elwood Stephens; 2, George McKleve; 3, A. B. Kauffman. Girls under 6—1, Grace Lofquist; 2, Doris Shockley; 3, Margaret Kergin. Boys 6 to 8—1, A. Woods; 2, L. Gordon; 3, Willie Kergin.

Provincial Fishery Department an article on this subject. Extracts from that chapter of the report are as follows: Prior to 1910, when the writer first developed the method of determining the age of Pacific salmon by the seasonal grouping of the delicate rings marking the surface of the scales it had been generally accepted that Fraser River sockeye mature invariably in their fourth year. This theory was based on the well-known fact that very heavy runs enter the fraser every fourth year, with much lighter runs in the intervening years, a condition which has existed as far back as we have any definite records. The theory of a four-year cycle for the sockeye seemed, therefore, well founded, and it became a matter of extraordinary interest to test the theory by independently determining the age of a number of individuals belonging to the spawn ing run. On doing this, it became at once apparent that the majority were four years old and hence in accord with the theory. But the smallest mem bers of the run (almost invariably males) were but three years old, while a considerable number of the (Continued on last page.)

Agricultural Department Sends Out Request to Fanners and Others to Do Effective Work. The following circular letter to editors of newspapers in British Columbia has been sent out by the deputy minister of agriculture and is self-explanatory: Dear Sir,—I would be obliged if you would kindly allow me, through the medium of your paper, to call the attention of fanners throughout the province to the necessity of conducting a vigorous campaign against the spread of noxious weeds in the province. This constitutes a grave menace to the development of agriculture, and it is very essential that a determined effort be made at the present time to combat the evil be fore il gets too big to handle. It is deplorable to see in many good agricultural districts in the province the alarming extent to which the Canadian thistle has spread. This is one of the very worst weeds In existence and probably the hardest to control. The following course of treatment which should be pursued for the eradication of Canadian thistle is recommended by the seed commissioner's branch of the federal department of agriculture: Remedy.—Being a deep-rooted perennial, Canada thistle should be ploughed deep in summer just as the flowers open, or the flowering stems may be mowed down and the land ploughed as soon as the new stem growth appears. As new stems are thrown up they must be cut off with a broad-sheared cultivator, at inter- (Continued on Page Four) DOMINION DAY AT HAZELTON THE TRIP WAS MARKED IIV liAI.W Wi.ATHEK AT POINT OF CELEBRATION. GOVERNMENT BUILDING TO BE ON EXTENSIVE PLAN Architect Cox Is Now In The City Prepared To Settle The General Details And Arrange For Rock Work Starting--He Will Also Go Into The Question Of The Material To Be Used In Construction and Inspect The Rock Deposits-Court House And Offices On Market Place Will Add Very Materially To Appearance Of City—Will Cover Space Available Local Baseball Team Could Not Adapt Itself to Weather Conditions and Lost. The arrival yesterday by the Prince George of A. A. Cox, the architect for the Provincial Government buildings here, revives the interest in this great undertaking. Mr. Cox has come to Prince Rupert at this time for the purpose of making the final arrangements for the excavations of the building, which will be one of the most imposing in the province outside of the two great centres of Victoria and Vancouver. He will give exact Instructions as to the rock excavations that are to be made on NOTICE! CASH ONLY my On mid after July 1, 1918, I have decided to place business upon a Cash basis, mid desire your assistance. I appreciate the business you have given me in the past, either for cash or on credit, but there are so many who hove abused the confidence I huve extended to thein that I mil compelled to take this action. The loss of money and the trouble and time in looking after these numerous small accounts is more than the profit on this kind of business. Thanking yon for the business you have given me and trusting that my action will in no way inconvenience you and that I will still continue to have the benefit of your business and assistance. JOHN A. KIRKPATRICK a&iwiWr&sm^^ the magnificent site of the building, the Market Place. The buildings that are to accommodate the courts and the various Government officials will, as previously announced, be of brick and be two storeys in height, with a commodious basement. While all the details are not yet made known by the architect, enough is known to assure the public that It will be on a most comprehensive plan. The building, which will cost in the vicinity of half a million dollars, will, it is expected according to the present design, take in practically all the space within the inner street way which circles about the Market Place. Provision is made also for the beautifying of the park triangles in front of the site between il nnd McBride Street. All this is included In the design that Is being advanced and with that goes also the grading of the street about the place. When completed the city will have one of the most Imposing edifices that It is possible to conceive of am! situated in a position which will always make It a distinctive mark of the townsite. The queston of the material that is to be used in the construction of the building will receive at the hands of Air. Cox attention on this visit. He has had submitted for his con- eration several samples drawn from local sources. These he will examine thoroughly from the local standpoint and he will also examine the location where the rock samples are taken from so as to satisfy himself as to the available supply In case the sample may be found to be satisfactory for the building. The arrangements for the street work which are to be made with the city are now under final considera tion at Victoria and a reply by wire is expected today, when the agreement between the two parties will be entered Into and a start made upon the excavation of the site for the building, together with the street grading, which works in with the other. In conjunction with the plans for the location there are several features planned which will, if finally approved by the city and the other parties concerned, make the location one of the most striking to be found on the Coast. Air. Cox is not planning the building alone for the present. He is looking far into the future and designing the layout so Hint there may be nothing to undo as time goes by. He realizes that the building that is to be erected on the location that has been selected will have a material effect upon the business of the city and is planning so thai tiie courthouse may have no drawbacks that will militate against it as t.li*? surrounding blocks are built upon. It is Hie design of the Governmenl to lose no time in getting the building In shape to occupy. Il ii felt that there is no time to be lost in having a structure that will accommodate the great Increase in business that will come from now on in the city in view of the near approach of the railway as a completed proposition. In view of this, therefore, there will be a very considerable force of men employed constantly to get nil the necessary work done | reparatory to actual construction ment to avoid all chance of any injury to such a costly building from later blasting. It is for that reason that It has been thought best to put the road about the site in shape now. o STOKING FIRES OF REBELLION LADY SYBIL SMITH SEES DAN- GEROliS POSITION FOR BRITISH GOVERNMENT VOW. The excursion lo Hazelton on Tuesday was patronized by a very considerable number and the best of accommodation in the way of rolling stock was provided by the Grand Trunk Pacific. At Hazelton, however, the excursionists encountered the worst of weather. A downpour of rain lasted all afternoon. This interfered with the sports, and the Prince Rupert baseball team, unaccustomed to such weather conditions, was easily defeated In a five-inning game. The score was as follows: Hazelton ,'f f> 2 0—HI Prince Rupert 1 -I 1 0— 6 At football the local Caledonians did better, holding the home team down to a tie, with two goals each. A dance was given in the evening. On the way back to Prince Rupert a mishap to the locomotive made it necessary to hold the train over for a long time while another engine was sent to the scene. The excursionists, therefore, did not reach Prince Rupert until about 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Enfranchisement of Women to Be- come Question of tho l-'ir-t Importance.

In dealing with the financial situation of the day there is a general tendency to attack the banks for not doing what it is claimed they might do to aid the public, it is urged very frequently that Canadian banks are holding back money, refusing il especially to real estate holders or buyers in the West, while they are using the funds for call loans abroad. On this point the News-Advertiser says that the -May returns showed that this was not happening down to the end of last month. The silnation was this: Canadian banks had loaned $060,000,000 at home and $134 000,000 abroad. Of the advances abroad, ♦1)0,000,000 was in call loans. It was not Canadian money, because *ai ,000,000 had been received by Canadian banks in outside deposits, including current loans Canadian banks had loaned abroad some $37,000,000, thai had been deposited or otherwise contained iii Canada. This is less than four per cent, of total loans. Compared with last year at the same time the Canadian banks had $15,000,000 less money loaned abroad; nearly $20,000,000 less loaned abroad" on call,' while the banks held $20,000,- 000 more of outside money on deposit. The banks could answer the charge that they had taken Canadian money for call loans In the States by producing these figures. tf they were asked why they were refusing money to Canadians they mighl point to the returns showing advances of $969,000,000 to the Canadian people, or $60,000,000 more than this time last year, while the people of Canada had on deposit In the banks $7,000,000 less than last year. They could say ihai the banks had kept In reserve to meet demands of depositors and noteholders nnd to satisfy the law less money than they had al this time last year, or the year before, or I ban they usually keep. But If bankers are challenged to tell why the Canadian people ask for more nione ythis year, and produce more money this year, and produce the Held of speculative philosophy, like the rest of us. We suspeci that it is largely a psychological question. POLITICIANS FOR TOlli.

Such satisfactory progress is being made in connection with repairs lo the Grand Trunk Pacific steamer Prince Albert that the British Columbia Marine Railway Company expects to bo in a position to deliver the vessel by the middle of Ibis nib. Providing the Prince Albert is delivered as expected by the middle of July the temporarily sus-i pended service between Victoria and the Queen Charlotte Islands will be| resumed without delay, and unless j the present arrangements miscarry it i is altogether probable that the Prince .\lbert. will take the usual Thursday sailing on July IV. Since the Albert went on the reef nt Porl Simpson harbor, the steamer Prince John has been maintaining the Queen Charlotte service by making connections with the regular Prince steamers nt Prince Rupert. As soon as it is definitely decided thai the Albert will resume the northernl run, the Prince John will be dispatched south lor the first time in | several weeks to again take up the running. With the bookings daily increasing to points in the Queen Charlottes, the Grand Trunk Pacific expect to do a large business on the new route this summer. IMPEHATOR CAN COMPETE.

Vancouver, July 2.—Frenchie Vaise, of Seattle, won the lightweight championship of Canada yesterday from Joe Bayley, of Victoria, getting the decision in the fifteenth round on points. Speaking of the situation a few days before the fight, the sporting editor of the News-Advertiser summed up the situation as follows: Joe Bayley, Canada's lightweight champion, should be a top heavy favorite when he steps through the ropes for his scheduled fifteen-round bout with Frenchy Vaise at the new Brighouse Arena on Tuesday next, land without disparaging Vaise's chances or overestimating Bayley's : ability we may add that the odds appear justified. If -it were over n j short route of, say, four or six : rounds Vaise would be an even choice j with the champion, but over what we i may term the marathon route up this way Vaise's chances diminish with every additional round. He is a game, willing and aggressive boy, more of a welterweight than a lightweight, am! i chucltful of confidence any time he ! starts. He is a rangy boy and can j take lots of punishment without I backing up. bul so far lie has failed I to show a punch himself.

Standard Fisheries Dock larger fish were unmistakably in their fiftli year. In view of these facts it became important to inquire how the predominance of every fourth year had been so long maintained. For if the progeny of a big years should mature and return to ihe river partly in three, partly in four, and partly in five years, it would seem there should be a ten- dency to increase ihe runs in the third -ind fifth years of the cycle, as well as to maintain that of the fourth year; and as this tendency would be constantly operative and cumulative, it should eventually distribute the benefits of Ihe "big years" equally among the others. On consideration, however, it becomes obvious that the three-year fish, or grilse, can be eliminated from the problem. For Inasmuch as practically none of these are females and as the males can be considered purely supplementary, being of small size and not needed in the spawning beds, it is evident they add nothing to tho progeny of any year in which they are more than usually numerous. But the case would appear otherwise with the five-year fish. Among these, both males and females are present in not very unequal numbers, and with these the females average larger than the four-year females and produce a greater number of eggs. If, therefore, any constant percentage of the progeny of a big year matured In its fifth rather than its fourth year, this should have its evident effect on the fiftli year of the cycle. Such an effect thus far has not been determined. It would be impossible to separate the two ages by their appearance, for, although the five- year fish average larger, the two ages widely overlap in this regard. An analysis of the run by the aid of the scales is necessary to decide this point, and must extend over a number of years until we shall have ascertained whether the proportion ot the progeny which delay maturing until the fifth year is a relatively constant one, or whether it fluctuates so widely for unknown reasons that we are unable to predict, the outcome in any given case. If the proportion is relatively constant, then we can predict the run with some assurance in any year, if we know the success of natural and artificial propagation in the fourth and fifth years preceding. But If the proportion varies widely in different years this would Introduce a disturbing factor which might bring prophecy to naught, especially in the years of small run. Thus, if 1914, i915, and 1916 .should have approximately equal runs and should present equally favorable conditions on the new spawning-beds and in the hatcheries, nevertheless the corresponding years of ihe next cycle might from this cause exhibit very unequal runs. If, for example, 5 per cent, of the progeny of 1914, 45 per cent, of 1915, and 20 per cent, of 1916 should mature in their fifth year, then the run of 1919 would be made up of 3 per cent, five-year-olds from 1914 and 55 per cent, four-year- olds from 1915; while the run of 1920 would contain 45 per cent, five- year-olds from 1915 and 80 per cent, four-year-olds from 1916. The latter would be more than twice as large, therefore, as the former. It is thus highly Important to establish the constancy of the variability of the age factor, for to establish this will bring us one step nearer the possibility of predicting future runs. As a contribution to this end, it was attempted to analyse the run of 1912 Into its age components, and to compare the results with those secured by the writer In 1911, when this method was used for the first time. in mil the number of three-year- olds "i- grilse were so small as lo be almost negligible. No attempl was made to deti rmlne ihe very limited proportion in which they occurred, as it was difficult to secure enough specimens for examination. It should be recalled that the grilse of 1911 were developed in their due proportion from the comparatively few eggs deposited in the "off-year," 1908. in 1912 the case was far different. The grilse of that year were derived from eggs laid down in the big year, 1909, and from the first of the season to . its conclusion, wherever the Fraser River run was intercepted, the large number of small three-year fish was at once apparent. Several attempts to estimate the proportion of grilse to full- grown fish were made August 1 to August 7, by enumerating them as i hey passed along the conveyor at ihe cannery of the Pacific American Fisheries at Bellinghani, Washington. Other less extensive tests were made al different localities and at various times during the season, and were all in close agreement. It seems safe to conclude therefore that In the Fraser River sockeye run of 1912 about one fish out of every five was a small three-year-old precocious male. The grilse were thus about half as numerous as the males of the full-grown fish. The causes of the great disparity shown in 1911 and 1912 In relative numbers of four- and five-year fish cannot be assigned with certainty, but are to be looked for in conditions which existed in 1906 and 1908, the small years of the preceding cycle. The following may be suggested as possibilities: (lj It is possible that an abnormally large proportion of the 1906 generation may have delayed maturing until their fifth year. Had this occurred it should have diminished the size of the run four years subsequently in 1910 and should have materially increased the run of 1911. It is valid objection to the theory that 1910 gave an average yield, in the present condition of the industry, while 1911 was the poorest for many years. (2) An alternative theory is to the effect that the season of 1907 may have brought to the Fraser River spawning beds so small a number of sockeyes that their progeny, which matured part as four-year fish in 1911 and part as five-year fish in 1912, would both be present in very limited numbers. This would explain the heavy percentage of five-year fish in 1911, as well as the light run of that year, and would explain the abnormally light run of five-year fish in 1912. Its influence on the total size of the run of 1912 would be far less than in 1911, if, as we suppose, the total number of five-year fish produced from any given batch of eggs is much below the number that mature in four years. This theory would then of itself explain all the facts, without having recourse to the first suggested above, or to any further hypothesis. IN THH SI I'KBMK COURT OF BRITISH COI/IlliniA.

Deep ploughing in the autumn has been found useful in suppesslng thistles in Manitoba. The chief safeguard against Canada thistle and similar deep-rooted perennials Is undoubtedly a regular short rotation of crops with thorough cultivation. a three-year rotation, including two cuttings of early red clover for the first year, followed by deep fall ploughing for hoed crops with clean cultivation and a cereal crop for the third will suppress it. For permanent pastures and wild lands where this course of treatment is not feasible, a plan which is followed by many with great success is to keep the plants cut right at the crown and never allow them to flower. This, of course, if pursued faithfully will in a few years' lime destroy this pest. All provincial constables and fire wardens have again this year been appointed agents for the department In the enforcement of the provisions of Un- Noxious Weeds Act and have been instructed in case of non-compliance with notices served on owners, to institute prosecutions. This in iisolf, however, is nol all thai is necessary. It is imperative that the co-operation of the farmers themselves be secured. The provisions of tne Noxious Weeds Act are stringent enough, but iis proper enforcement can not be effected to the best advantage unless the farmers do their share, and see that their neighbors take steps to destroy weeds before they seed. I trust, therefore, that we may have united action along these lines, and that effective work will be done this year towards the suppression of those weeds which are proving such a menace to successful agricultural development In different parts of tiie province.
