Fleming, manager for the Canadian Canning Company. Ho is bringing out twenty-four girls from Scotland who are experienced in the fish-canning business, and will employ nine young Scotsmen, who are already here, to fish on'' the Fraser during tlie big run of salmon. This is an experiment on tills coast in replacing Chinese with white labor. Quarters will be established for the white employees on the cannery premises along the lines of those in the J; f Old'Country. Another innovation in the cannery this year is a machine to manufacture the cans required right on the property. They will have a plant witli a capacity for the manufacture of 160,- 000 per day.

EXPRESS RATES ARE REDUCED A judgment that will be of immense importance to British Columbia and to the whole of Western Canada was given by the Railway Commission last .week, and will reduce-, express charges in the west by 20 'per cent.

The eastern rates were not affected by the decision but the board was satisfied that the west had ..carried more than its \"fair share of express rates. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The decision is the first important one prepared by Chairman H.

Reductions which (have been made, and they are very many, as shown by the companies' tariff are practically reductions which only little affect the manner in which the bulk of the tariff is moving or are perhaps compensated by additions which have been made to the levelling process in establishing a mileage basis of standard rates as pro-'' vided by the judgment. I am.of the opinion that.an approximately average reduction of 20 per cent should .be made by the companies in the standard maximum tariff for.traffic classified as merchandise to apply only to the Prairie Provinces and to British Columbia.\" The decision also provides that, there is to be a similar .reduction in special rates. It is believed that the British Columbia reduction will be particularly- valuable to the fruit industry yf the coast province, as it will give them far lower express rates to the prairies.

McCon- nell of the Saturday Sunset and the Morning Sun, both of Vancouver, travelled from Vancouver for the express purpose of refusing the nomination which had been tendered him by a delegation of Liberals representing the Dewdney riding. Mr. McConnell stated that should he run for any riding, and it is likely that he will, as he is politically ambitious, that he owed something to tlie riding of Yale, where he had been a previous candidate. It is not known how far away, the next Provincial election is, but there is no riding in the Province that would cover the Liberal party with more glory than the winning of Dewdney riding\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe political birthplace of the present Premier and the home of Conservatism. To win any other riding would be merely to win a seat at the expense of tlie Conservative party, but to win Dewdney would be an honor that the Liberal party could count on as a direct slap at the Premier and his Government. But then McConnell probably thought he was not equal to the occasion and so he refused the nomination rather than take such hopeless chances. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDRecord.

Why is a fisherman? is a question that at one time or the other. presents itself to every person who is not one. And the fisherman, like the cubist, futurist and post:im\"pressionist, sniffs, satisfied that if you don't understand you ' can't understand, and consequently you are of no consequence. Looking at tho matter of trout fishing without favor or prejudice, it does seem to be the sublimation of fraud, deceit and treachery. The fisherman takes advantage -of ihe fact that the trout has. missed his breakfast or luncheon and hooks him in violation of the sacred laws of hospitality. In effect the fisherman says to the trout, tco much of a gentleman to suspect his host, accepts the invitation, only to learn that his tru'st has been 'misplaced and that he is as good as fried already. Then again, it is said, or rather, hinted, that the invitation is extended to partake of a salmon egg, a pardonable and natural weakness of the trout. The conclusion.of the repast is the same\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the guest is transformed into the piece de resistance, and the host becomes a conscienceless braggart about the affair. Th^re does seem, however, to be some odium attached to the salmon- egg invitation, but we judge that it is a matter of comparative indifference to the trout. The fact that everybody cannot deceive a trout does not seem important. It is a well-known fact. that only a few persons have the requisite qualifications 'for disposing of gold bricks in commercial quantites. That any person should eat a trout is understandable. Few people brag about their gustatory joy3. Trading on the innocence and inexperience of a trout fs their pleasure, and we can't nelp but think that they are a wicked, designing lot, and that truth is not in them.
