During the\nblanketed by a coal or timber license/ past year the settlers have experienced\nIf the Queen Chrlotte Islands offered\nno other inducememt to those seeking\nhomes, it has the advantage of being a\nland where persons seeking health and\nrecreation can find all the inducements\nthat are sought. The climate is good,\nwithout zero weather in winter, and cool\nduring the summer months. At this\nseason, when the people of the prairies\nare freezing to death, our cattle are\nroaming and the grass is green. We\nhave rivers and water courses in which\nthe fish and game disport at all seasons\nof the year. The inlets and bays have\nsandy beaches, where children can have\na full measure of bathing and boating\nwithout danger. Dangerous wild animals and reptiles are an unknown quantity. The Indians are law-abiding and\nhelpful, with towns and conveniences on\na par with those of the Whites. Crime\nis unknown among them and their intelligence has been the subject of congratulation to those who brought the\nnatives to such a state. The owners of\nlaunches will find water courses that\ncompare with any in the known world.\nCamping grounds can be found anywhere\nand everywhere. Wild game and fruit\nabound, and it is possible to travel by\nboat for hundreds of miles without\ndanger from storms. The sandy beaches\nextend from one end of the largest island\nto the other; in some places there are\nautomobile drives of over fifteen miles\non solid sand. This should mean to the\nbusy commercial men of Prince Rupert\nan opportunity to have their summer\nresidences along the shores of our inlets.\nWe are but eighty miles from the coming metropolis and steamers will make\nthat distance in less than five hours.\nOur garden land cannot be excelled and\nthere is the opportunity for several\ntourist hotels on the principal island of\nthe group. Graham Island will rival\nVancouver Island in a few years, and the\nopportuity is now afforded to take advantage of the low price of land and to\nlook over the resources which will pass\ninto the hands of strangers, unless our\npeople have the foresight to grasp the\nchance that the Queen Charlotte Group\noffers.\nthe greatest difficulty in obtaining\nrecords for their pre-emption claims, as\nfor the most trival mistakes their applications have been refused and they have\nbeen requested to send in fresh applications. One of our settlers nameu Mr.\nEvans has sent in four different applications and he has letters to show that his\napplications were made out as per instructions. Now he has been turned\ncoolly down for a fifth time and told to\ncancel a record for a claim he held near\nRose Spit. This man never staked but\none claim on which he now resides, and\nhas never even been near Rose Spit.\nHe will evidently in a year or two obtain\na record for the claim on which he now\nlives, and believing that eventually he\nwill obtain his record, he has erected a\nfine two-storied house at a cost of about\n$2,000 and has already cleared four\nacres of scrubby timbered land.\n(To be continued next week.)\nSpring\nCleaning\nIs about to commence and\nwe would advise a bottle of\nNyals Sarsaparilla\nto get your system in shape\nfor the summer work.\nBear in mind that we\nkeep a full line of\nClothing, Boots\nand general supplies for\nlogger and prospector.\nBEATTIE'S\nDEPT.

We have\nbefore us Cassell's Magazine for the\nmonth of November last, with an article\nheaded: \" King Herring.\" In the article\nW. A. Dutt states that the herring fisheries alone of Yarmouth and Lowestoft,\nbrought in $5,000,000 to the boatowners\nand fishermen, and gave employment\nashore to thousands of men and women.\nAs a result of ten weeks work, one\ndrifter or fishing boat has been known\nto earn over $11,000. Yarmouth employs 150 steamers in the work and\nLowestoft 230. These boats cost $15,000\neach, while the fishing gear costs another\n$5,000. A steam drifter usually carries\nten men ; all work on the sharing system. In one day 1,205,410,800 herrings\nwere landed at the two ports mentioned,\nwhich will give some idea of the enormous quantity handled by the fleet, by\nthose on shore, and by the railways.\n\"In the fishing trade,\" said Robert\nStephenson, \"railways are causing a\nprodigious revolution,\" and they are\nnow sending as much fish to London in\na year as they sent in twenty years\nformerly. The steam fishing boat is\nalso creating a revolution in the work.\nWe have \"fished \" on the Fraser river\nand had the opportunity of viewing the\nfish in their haunts, from one end of the\nProvince to the other. It was all very\nwell for those who appear to know\nsomething of the fisheries, to write\nand speak of the illimitable resources of\nour waters. Have those people been on\nthe rivers and sea coasts and practically\ntested the fisheries ? From Jedway to\nStevenston is a \"long jump,\" and we\nhave been over that territory. From\nthe west coast of Graham Island to\nNanaimo is another long stretch, and\nwe have seen the fish and the small\nnumber of native fishermen, and the\ncanneries, and handlers of fish at their\nbest. Through the plants and viewing\nthe work of the few engaged in canning,\nsalting and smoking, should give one a\ngood idea of the resources of our waters.\nWe can truthfully state that the fisheries of British Columbia waters are\nthe best in the world today. The field\nfs practically unlimited, and the fish\nplentiful that their proper exploitation\nwill astonish the most optimistic. It is\nnot only the the herring fisheries that\nwill require attention. We have halibut\nin Hecate Straits that range from fifty\nto three hundred pounds each, and there\nare halibut banks in all directions. The\nSpring or King salmon ofl Langara\nIsland are caught by the Indians in\nsuch numbers that the best fisherman\nin the world would open his eyes in\nwonder. We have the \" oolachan \" glutting our rivers for six weeks in every\nyear. All of the small streams are\ncrowded with Cohoe, Humpback and\nDog Salmon. The herring are larger\nin the waters of the Quoen Charlottes\nthan off the south coast, and their numbers will be realized after a few boats\ncommence fishing. No idea of the extent of the herring fisheries can be\ngiven, for the~reason that nothing has\nbeen done to ascertain the wealth we\nhave in our waters. It is certain that\nthe cold storage plants will be erected\nat the western terminus of the railway.\nSome are in course of erection at Prince\nRupert, others will follow. The fishermen will require homesteads near the\nfishing grounds, and large communities\nshould make their homes on the island.\nCompanies are now bringing steam\ntrawlers from Great Britain, and the\nfishing grounds will be exploited in the\nnear future. This should be the opportunity for the Queen Charlotte Islands to\nincrease in population and there is need\nof advertising. Prince Rupert is now\nbefore the world as the business centre\nof Northern British Columbia. Our\nislands, where the fishing will be carried\non, offers a home for the fishermen and\ntheir families. We are but a few miles\nfrom the terminus of the tailways ; but\nlittle is known of our advantages and\nthe possibilities of the Queen Charlotte\nIslands. We want publicity and should\ndevise some means to inform the fishermen of the Old Country that there is\nroom, and to spare, for thousands of\nimmigrants. Our position and our resources can compare most favorably\nwith Vancouver Island. The fisheries\nare at our doors. The harbors and inlets must be used in stormy weather.\nThe fishermen will want land and homes.\nRailways will run from one end of\nGraham Island to the other. The\nawakening is coming, and the sooner we\nget to work the sooner we will have\nlarge and prosperous communities.\nThere is no use in waiting for those\nwho are not interested in this portion of\nthe country. Our time is to do things\n\"now.\"\n-o-\nJapaneese Current Changes.\nA phenomenal change in the course\nof the Japanese current, which is now\nsetting closer to the Queen Charlottes,\naccording to reports by Alaskan skippers, no doubt has had something to do\nwith the mild weather experienced on\nthe islands this winter. There has been\npractically no snow or frost and prospectors will be able to hit the mountains\nwhenever they feel like it.\nMr. and Mrs. Katsura entertained the\nlocal residents to a dance on Friday\nnight in Barge's hall, which was nicely\ndecorated for the occasion. A large\ncompany attended, including Capt. Locke\nand several officers of the steamer\n\"Beatrice.\" Splendid music was supplied by the Skidegate orchestra, under\nProfessor Solomon, and refreshments\nwere provided by Mrs. Scowcroft. Dur-\nan interval Mr. J. L. Barge proposed a\nvote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Katsnra\nfor their hospitality, and in the course\nof his remarks also paid tribute to Capt.\nLocke for the interest he takes in the\ngeneral wellf are of the islands. Capt.\nLocke, in reply, thanked Mr. Barge for\nhis appreciative remarks, and glad to\nsee that they were all pulling together.\nWilfred Doughty Arrives.\nMr. Wilfred Vere Doughty, son of\nSir George Doughty of Grimsby, accompanied by Messrs. Rosher and Canning,\narrived on the \"Beatrice\" on Thursday\nmorning on a visit to the properties acquired by the company in which they\nare interested at Cumshewa and Skidegate. Mr. Doughty comes as managing\ndirector of the British Columbia Fisheries, Ltd., recently formed in the Old\nCountry with a capital of a million and\na quarter of dollars to develop the deep\nsea fisheries in these waters. The B. C.\nFisheries recently purchased the plant\nof Simon Leiser at Skidegate and will,\nwe understand, greatly improve this,\nand proposes to establish cold storage\ndepots and enter the general fishing\nbusiness on a large scale. It has been\nannounced that no Asiatics will be employed by this company.\nFishing Station Well Advanced.\nWork at the new fishing station of the\nQueen Charlotte Fishing Company at\nTassoo Harbor is well advanced, according to Mr. Moulton, the manager, who\nwent south on the Beatrice on Friday\nnight. The sawmill erected at the\nstation is now in operation, and all the\nlumber required for the buildings is being cut. Several large buildings have\nalready been erected, such as a saltery,\noil and fertilizer, cannery, bunkhouses,\ncookhouse, store and manager's house.\nThe company will also build their own\nfishing boats from the yellow cedar\navailable on their property. It is their\nintention to employ white fishermen only\nand to do a great deal in the interests\nof white settlers on the West Coast.\nCapt. Nash, president, and R. F. Mackie,\nsecretary, are expected to pay a visit\nto the fishing station some time this\nmonth.\nCaptain Nash, President of the Queen\nCharlotte Fishing Company, leaves for\nEngland next month and will give an\naddress before the Imperial Institute,\nregarding \"The relationship of white\nfishermen on the Pacific Coast to the\nImperial and Dominion Naval Policy.\"\nSheriffs Sale\nOne Gasoline Boat \"Alice,\" Twelve\nHorse-power Ferro Engine, 3-cylinder,\nand reversing gear, now lying at Queen\nCharlotte.\nAll of which shall be offered for sale\nby Public Auction for cash on THURSDAY, February 15th, at 3 p.m., at\n\"Islander\" Office, Queen Charlotte.\nW.

The hall was tastefully decorated for the occasion by the ladies,\ncozily furnished and comfortably filled\nwith the elect. A number of home-\nseeker's, guests of the Hotel Rose at\nthe time, availed themselves of the\ncourtesy extended to the stranger within our gates. They were well pleased\nwith the exercises, somewhat astonished\nat the remarkable talent displayed, and\nsure made the welkin ring with their\napplause when the latent possibilities\nof the vicinity were brought to light.\nThe gem of the programme, however,\nwas a crayon talk by the President of\nthe Archaeological Society. He sketched\nthe locality in which the caverns abound\nand indicated the point where he discovered \"The Ancients' Hall of Wisdom.\" The walls of this grotto are\ncompletely covered with hieroglyphs and\nideographs, the result of patient effort\nextended over a period of years by the\nprinters of the day who thus effectually\nembalmed the history, customs and traditions of their people.\nIn a prominent position amongst the\nmultitude of facts here recorded is an\narticle dealing with the early history of\nTow Hill; its signification, and the spirit\nwho still makes it his abiding place. It\nwould tax the resources of a modern\nlithographic plant to do the ancient\nscribe justice. The text of the article\nas translated, and much condensed runs\nthus:\n\" 0 Well Beloved\n\" Your fathers did in Eden dwell\nfull many years ago,\nBut the serpent of unrighteousness\ngot most most of them in tow.\nHe led them to a wilderness\nof miry swamps and sloughs,\nWhere a spirit stood amongst them\nand usurped the monster's shoes.\nThey marched thence to a higher land\nwhere skill was used to make\nThis temple strong, to shield us\nfrom the wiles of Eden's snake.\nWe sorrowed o'er our lost estate\nfor back we couldn't go,\nSo tried to make the best of things\nwhile living here below.\nBut an enemy from Pluto's tribe\nwell versed in magic tricks,\nSpread o'er the land a blanket,\nmade of coal and timber sticks,\nAll trimmed around the edges\nwith for sale; don't dare trespass,\nUnless you're with the party\nyou'll be used like Balaam's ass.\nThey're still camped round an inlet\nwhere the tide runs by so fast,\nIt makes them feel quite dizzy,\nlike a lubber up a mast.\nThe genii have convinced them all\nthe feeling is really fine\nAs any that is conjured with\n' the reddest kind of wine.\nWe turned our backs upon them\nand implored our gods to make\nA country that no magic tricks\ncould ever from us take.\nThey pointed to the north and east\nwhere summer suns doth rise\nAnd said: Behold we'll make you\nthere an earthly paradise.\nWith fish and game aplenty,\nand garden spots galore;\nWhere nature, merely tickled, will\nbring forth abundant store.\nAnd that my child, is how it comes\nthis temple here doth stand,\nA sign of peace and plenty j\nfor the freedom loving man.
