BRANDT THE 102NI) IS RECEIVING CAREFUL TRAINING Local Otlieer In Command Of Company Proving His Worth. The local company of the 102nd Battalion, with the change in the ■weather, is able to get down to hard work in drilling outside. Yesterday Squad's 1, 2 and 3 received several hours training on the Recreation Grounds at Acropolis Hill. The men made a magnificent showing. Capt. Brandt, who is the offirer in com- mnnd of the local company, Is proving himself a most efficient officer. His drill is very exact, in consequence of bis long training along this line. His Instruction is of the very best, and the men have the utmost conn- ;of tialtbut landed here. This includ While the fishing has been anything but good on the banks since the New Year, there are not wanting plenty of evidences that this is to be a big year as far as Prince Rupert is concerned in the fishing trade. Boats are beginning to come in in number, and while the catches so far are light, there has in the aggregate been a very considerable quantity brought to tne port. All the boats that have come in have signified their intention of making this their port for selling this season, so that from now on there should be an increasing number of fish coming in. In addition to the shipments that are being sent east over the G. T. P., there has been very large shipments made daily by boat from here for the south to meet the demand of'the southern cities, where the supply arriving is not adequate to the needs of the cities and tbe territory that is supplied from those points.

Vancouver, Feb. 16. —■ Thomas Cunningham, Provincial Fruit Inspector, died at his residence here today, atte/ a short illness. He came to the Pacific coast sixty years ago, travelling across the Isthmus of Panama. He came from Belfast. He is survived by his wife and five children. AMENDMENTS TO REPLY OF SPEECH IN IMPERIAL HOUSE THERE ARE FIFTY-FIVE OF THESE Mr. Cunningham has held the office of fruit pest inspector for years. It is in no small way, due to his efforts, that the many forms of pests that have proved so detrimental to the fruit growing industry elsewhere have been effectively kept out of British Columbia. In consequence, the fruit of this Province Is practically free from pests. Fancy Cups ami Saucers, to clear at 25c, :i-"c and 10c. Tite's The Home Furnisher.

As the fire spread, the stores of munitions aboard the ships and upon Ihe docks and waterfront were emles, because of ihe raising of an American Legion for overseas service, the officers of the legion having made the club their headquarters. Earl F. Hussey, of Montreal, is fatally injured and P. I. T-Turston, a mining broker and formerly of Dallas, Texas, is dead. The staff and resident members escaped, but Captain Asa Minard of the legion is Injured', This season is to be an active one in mining. This is made more and more evident every day. The number of prominent mining men is increasing constantly, and there are rumors of many important deals to be carried into effect early in the season. Some of these are now under way. The Roclier de Boule section is naturally attracting attention, owing to the fact that there is there a fully developed property that is making a splendid showing, which always attracts the attention of real investors. The Montana-Continental Development Company, under the management of Mr, Williams, is making a fine showing. Mr. Oppenlieiiner, who is very prominently identified with the proposition, has made, by hl= judicious management of affairs at his mine, a showing that lias increased tho vaiue'uf. all other properties in the vicinity. Steady shipments are being made to the Granby smelter, in spile of the difficulties encountered during the present hard winter, when it was necessary to in- stal an auxiliary power in the shape of a gasoline engine. Negotiations are In progress for tlie opening up of the Highland floy, which adjoins the Montana-Continental property.

It is likely that the mine will be developed fully this year, to prove the values that are expected in the property. This Is but in one part of the district. There are evidences of similar activity in other sections of the district, so that the summer should see all kinds of work in progress In the mines.

As fruit pest inspector, Mr, Cunningham has for years kept a very sharp lookout to see that no fruit pests should be introduced into this Province. It is true that he had to face Hie charges sometimes laid, that he was too Stringent in his rulings, but tb.rov.gl", that rigid observance of the rules laid down, he kept the fruit trees of this Province practically free from those diseases that in many parts have ruined the industry. It was fortunate for the industry that he occupied the post at the time he did so, for he was able to prevent the first introduction of pests. Had a less stringent inspector been on auty, it is likely that some of these pests might have got in. He has kept them out and the trees are the wonder of all who visit British Columbia. Than.es it ■ ould only be brought as far as Y.i'lwall, owing to unfavori.ie winds and tides. However, the remainder of the journey was completed in safety. Towed by the tug Tigress, the flagstaff pasesd Blackfriars Bridge at half-past eight; three and a quarter hours later il was safely moored alongside th'- Kew Gardens' embankment. The stick -. as shaped and flnisheo lefore il left the Dominion, but in order to get il from the river to the site in the gardens, many things had to be done, including the erection of a special bridge.

COLD STORAGE TO CONTRIBUTE MORE TO PATRIOTIC FUNDS Last year a subscription list was opened by the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company, Limited, for the purchase by its employees of a machine gun. Within a week the sum of $1,603.83 was subscribed and a machine gun costing $1,000 was immediately purchased. On Tuesday evening a mass meeting of the employees was called, Mr. T. H. Johnson being in the chair, to discuss the disposition of the surplus of $603.83, when it was decideci, amidst the greatest enthusiasm, to present this sum to the Canadian Patriotic Fund. After a very appropriate address on patriotism by Mr. Johnson, it was unanimously decided that a further amount should be raised by regular monthly subscriptions from the employees, which will also be devoted to the Patriotic Fund. A most enthusiastic meeting was brought to a close by the singing of "God Save the King." •0 Seem? from "Kilmeny" nt Westholme Theatre. TRAINING FOR ACTUAL FISHERMEN THE IMPORTANCE OF SUCH A MOVE BROUGHT PROMINENT- I.Y FORWARD Any Cake Shown for I0c. Do Not Overlook These Bargains China And Japan Are Mailing Advances In This Industry. Ai a recent meeting of the Committee on Fisheries of the Commission of Conservation, Dr. J. W. Robertson, C.M.G„.gave an interesting address on "Technical .Training for Fishermen," deploring the fact that we have no schools in Canada for training fishermen, and giving instances of what European countries are doing. Not only to Europe may we turn for examples, but to Asia as well. Japan has given very great attention to instruction respecting her fisheries, and her neighbor, China, is also rapidly coming to the front, as is shown in a recent China edition of the Manchester Guardian, which says:— "Much has been done by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce to encourage fishery on the high seas. On April 28, 1914, regulations to promote the fishing industry on the high seas were Issued. A eum of $i!0,000 was set aside in that year, and this has been made an annual appropriation for the encouragement of the industry. Fishing ves- srls must be Inspected before they can engage in this business. Not a few fishing boats have since been rewarded for meritorious service, and it is expected that more money will be devoted to this purpose. "The first fishery school was established at Woosung in 1904, by the Klang-Chi Fishery Company. The Provinces of Chi-li and Mukden followed successively, and the curriculum in these schools was modeled after that of the Woosung school. Tie- sides these schools, there have also been established fishery training schools for the practical Improvement of fishing methods. In the third year of tho Republic (1914), Ihe Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce started to establish training schools along the coast. Several have already heen established in the Provinces of Chl-li, Cbekiang, Feng- tlen, Fuklen, and Kwangtung, 3n the Province of ChelUang a lone three training schools have been established." G. T.
