Clements Draws Announcement From Minister of Marine That Pacific Coast Fisheries Will Be Protected —Changes For the Benefit of the Men Who Should Hold the Fishing Licenses. Reports from Ottawa this week show that Herbert S. Clements, member for this district, has been diligently and effectively at work on a matter most important to his constituency as well as to British Columbia as a whole. On Monday Mr. Clements moved for a return of correspondence and reports between Capt. Newcombe andthe minister of marine and fisheries in relation to the patrol and protection service of the fisheries on the Pacific coast. This opened the way for a general discussion of the question and drew from the minister of marine the announcement that three new vessels are to be procured for the Pacific coast, two for protection and one for patrol service. Mr. Clements pointed out the importance of the protection of the Pacific fisheries which last year amounted to ten million dollars out of twenty-nine millions for the whole of Canada. He stated that a few years ago there were fifty-two poaching vessels which pilfered two million dollars' worth. Now there were over 200 poaching vessels which steal 65,000,000 pounds of .halibut yearly. The present protection vessels were, he declared, inadequate, being able to steam only 8 to 10 knots hourly, while the poachers were much faster and were equipped with wireless telegraph. He advocated the building of three up-to-date steamers able to steam 15 to 18 knots and equipped with wireless telegraphy. These could drive poachers from the bays where they catch bait and clean their catch. G. H. Barnard, of Victoria, commented on the daring way in which the American poachers set the Canadian regulations at defiance. He asked that the new protection cruisers be built on the Pacific coast. H. H. Stevens, of Vancouver, advised the construction of three vessels of about 100 tons and fifteen knots speed, the same type as used by the poachers. These should be under the control of the fisheries department. Mr. Stevens went on to refer to the substitution of Orientals for white men in the fishing industry and the far reaching effects of this on the industry generally. He also drew attention to the farming out of licenses and to the wasteful and inhuman methods pursued in the whaling trade. P. H. Sheppard, of Nanaimo, dwelt on what he termed the scandalous traffic in licenses, and Dr. Thompson of the Yukon spoke of poaching in Hecate straits. Hon. J. D. Hazen, minister of marine and fisheries, admitted that protection within the three-mile limit had been inadequate and outlined the remedial measures he proposed. The Kestrel and the Restless were obsolete and would be retired. In their place three new vessels would be procured, two for protection and one for patrol service. Appropriations of $275,000 for the former and $75,000 for the latter were in the estimates. The new vessels might be ready this year. One of the protection vessels might be bought but the others would be built, and the building would be done on the Pacific if possible. Pending their completion two suitable vessels would be chartered at $100 per day. An appropriation of $50,000 had been provided for this purpose. Mr. Hazen declined to take the protection service out of the naval service department. The administration was the same in any event, he observed and there were reasons of departmental convenience. Whales, the minister observed, were caught outside the three-mile limit, and so the regulation of their slaughter was a matter for international regulation. Canada and the United States were the two countries most concerned in this. Captain Bernier had drawn the attention of the department to the slaughter of whales, in the Arctic, and had recommended the prohibition of killing for a term of years. Mr. Hazen stated that he had instructed his officials to take preliminary steps to procure the formation of international regulations for the preservation of whales. Turning to licenses, Mr. Hazen said that there was reason for strong criticism of the manner in which the preceding government had handled the question. The habit had been to grant these licenses, not to fisherman, but to persons engaged in mercantile pursuits, who had no intention of fishing themselves. These men farmed the licenses out, obtaining as much as $1500 for them, and they did nothing for this tax they levied on the fishermen. No licenses had been issued this year, and none would be, to persons not actually engaged in the industry. He had asked the British Columbia Government to co-operate and also asked Fisheries Officer Cunningham to come to Ottawa to consult as to the license system. The practice of putting licenses up at auction might be tried. There was another matter with regard to which the Laurier government had not seemed to realize the situation. That was the way in which the salmon fisheries were administered, purely in the interests of the canneries. The canneries got the licenses and the individual fisherman were prohibited from exporting fresh fish and were at the mercy of the canneries and could pursue their calling only as the canneries chose. A man might make a good catch and reaching the cannery find a notice that it would only take so many fish per man. He could not sell his surplus fish, he could not throw them into the water, he was not allowed even to use them as fertilizers of the soil. These regulations seem to have been made years ago when the situation was not understood. They favored a few rich men, and, were a scandal. Last Saturday he had repealed those regulations and now British Columbia fishermen could send their fresh fish abroad.

The campaign for the raising of a fund for the building and establishment of a general Alberni district hospital on the ground donated for the purpose by the Alberni Land company is now in full swing, the people of the' two towns working harmoniously together. At the public meeting held in Port Alberni on Wednesday night the work in this town was taken over by the people generally from the board of trade and Dr. C. T. Hilton, C. A. McNaughton and R. J. Burde were elected a committee to act with a similar committee which it was practically assured would be elected by the people of Alberni the following night. Dr. Hilton who had charge of the collection work announced to the meeting that a sum exceeding two thousand dollars had already been subscribed and that a total of $5000 could be realized. The committee was empowered, by the meeting to select an auxiliary committee to assist in the work of collecting money and it was suggested that the aid of the ladies of the town be sought. The committee met on Thursday and made arrangements accordingly. At the public meeting held in the Court House, Alberni, Thursday night, there was a large attendance and the feeling was unanimous in favor of proceeding with the hospital scheme. J. G. C. Wood, C. F. Bishop and E. L. Gill were elected to co-operate with the Port Alberni committee. Removal of Cable Station. Acting on a report that it is the intention of the Pacific cable board to move its station from Bamfield, in the near future, to some other point yet to be selected, the council of the Port Alberni board of trade has addressed a letter to the cable board asking that it seriously consider this newly incorporated city as the most suitable point. The advantages of location, permanency, up-keep and initial cost, are referred to in the letter. ' The Benefit Concert. The benefit concert, in aid of Mrs. Seabaum and family, given in Whyte's hall on Wednesday night, netted $35.50 which amount has been handed over to Government Agent Rayson, for transmission to the beneficiary. The concert was much enjoyed by all its patrons. Rev. Prof. Carruthers occupied the chair, and the contributors to the programme were: S. C. Bennett, D. Murray; A. Macfie, A. L.

First Avenue Port Alberni Conservative Association Resolves To Advise Government at Ottawa on Questions of Seymour Narrows Bridge, New Transcontinental Railway Terminus and National Port Facilities. At a general meeting of the Port Alberni Conservative association, held on Thursday night, the following resolutions were unanimously passed : "Whereas" a special committee of the Victoria City Council, with representatives of other public bodies added to its number, is conducting a campaign on Vancouver Island with the object of influencing the Dominion and Provincial governments to encourage the bridging of Seymour Narrows so that Vancouver Island may have railway connection with the mainland of British Columbia; and . "Whereas it is also a stated object of the said committee to have Victoria made a transcontinental railway terminus; and "Whereas the support of other places on Vancouver Island is being sought in aid of tho Victoria scheme, "Therefore be it resolved that the Conservative association of Port Alberni, while strongly in favor of urging and influencing both Dominion and Provincial governments to encourage the Seymour Narrows bridging proposition, is not in sympathy with any attempt in this connection to commit either governments, or any railway company, to a selection of Victoria as a terminus." "Whereas it is reported that the Dominion government is about to expend an amount of money in the neighborhood of one million dollars with the object of creating an artificial harbor at Victoria for national port purposes; and •'Whereas there is a natural harbor and port at the head of Alberni canal, more suitable for national port purposes, "Therefore be it resolved that the Conservative association of Port Alberni request the government of the Dominion to expertly and thoroughly investigate the utility of this port* and waterway to the Pacific ocean tracks for the Orient, Australia and the Panama canal." The resolutions were moved by R. J. Burde, the first one being seconded by A. D. Macintyre, and the second one by D. McN. Lowe. While there was no disposition to belittle the importance of Victoria or to stand in the way of its legitimate advancement, the feeling was strong against the attempt to specialize Victoria with respect to railway connection with the mainland. The resolutions were ordered to be forwarded to H. S. Clements, M.P., for presentation to the government at Ottawa, and the secretary was in structed to write a covering letter elaborating the Port Alberni view. A copy of the first resolution will also be sent to Premier McBride. Local News In Brief Henry Porritt is confined to his home with an attack of measels. W. W. G.

A writer in the Vancouver Saturday Sunset, referring to the fact that incorporation has recently been granted Port Alberni, opines that R. J. Burde, editor of the Pioneer News, published at Port Alberni, is a logical candidate for mayor and should be elected by acclamation. Mr. Burde, while modestly admitting that he is possessed of the qualifications, both in property and intelligence, announces that he is not out for either mayoralty or aldermanic honors, and believes that a sufficient number of equally capable citizens of the new city can be found to fill all the responsible seats without his seeking a share in the glory of first government of the future metropolis of Vancouver Island. Mr. Burde has already mapped out for himself a lot of work in the publicity line, a work he anticipates will prove as helpful in the safe, sound and aggressive developement of Port Alberni as any that could be done through the agency of public office. Liquor and Politics. At the opening of the Local Option convention in Vancouver on Saturday last, the president, R. H. Cairns, in the course of his address, said the Provincial Liquor act of 1910 was a step in the right direction, and it might be wise to turn attention to it with a view to improving it still farther. This is the same advice the Pioneer News offered to Rev. Dr. Spencer, superintendent of the Local Option league in British Columbia, when that quixotic advocate was endeavoring, by the use of hot-tempered language, to squelch all opinion different from his own on the temperance question. Following the remarks of President Cairns, Rev. N. A. Davis stated that he had been pained to notice the way party politics had been introduced into temperance work in British Columbia. Drinking was the custom to such an extent that one could not go through the city of Vancouver and truthfully say it was a sober one. The whole of British Columbia was being laid hold of by the liquor traffic, he declared, while the Local Option leagues were not improving and growing with the province. A definite policy would have to be speedily decided on, and any party that would bring in locai option should be supported, These remarks by Rev. Mr. Davis are cheerfully submitted for the consideration of H. C. Brewster, leader of the Opposition in the Provincial house. Individually, Mr. Brewster is a man of pronounced temperance views and should attempt to persuade his advisers, who are, apparently, stronger than his followers, that this is the Liberal party's one hope of making any kind of a showing at the farthcoming Provincial elections. suits, urging on the ministers of the various departments the necessities of the several parts of his constituency. It is truly gratifying to be able to report that for the first time in many years Comox-Atlin is being actively represented on the floor of the House of Commons. Mr. Clements is not only doing good work in parliamentary debate. He has been busy, with good re- Victoria's Error. A second communication from the city clerk of Victoria in regard to a Vancouver island campaign for railway connection with the mainland of British Columbia by means of bridging Seymour Narrows has been received by the publisher of the Pioneer News. It is dated Feb. 2nd, and reads as follows: Dear Sir;—At a meeting of the General Committee, held in the Council chamber, City Hall, on the 1st inst, a special committee was appointed for the purpose of arranging for public meetings at different places on Vancouver island, with the view of awakening interest and putting forth a united effort to secure from the Provincial and Dominion governments "a definite undertaking, by means of a union railway and general traffic bridge, across Seymour Narrows, connection between Vancouver island and the mainland of British Columbia in the near future." The committee appointed for this purpose, consists of W. E. Blakemore; the mayors of Nanaimo and Ladysmith; J. H- Whittome, of Duncans; yourself, and the presidents of the several boards of trade on Vancouver island. Yours truly, W. J. Dowler, C.M.C. It will be noticed that in this letter there "is no mention of Victoria as a special objective point, and if this were entirely eliminated the people of the several parts of the island might work harmoniously together on the general proposition. To assume at the outset that every part of this island is tributary to, or dependent upon, the city of Victoria is an error in presumption subject to objection from various quarters and provocative of antagonism in this particular district. This attitude shown by the people of Victoria in the early days of the Vancouver Island Development league almost caused a disruption of that useful organization in its infancy, and the situation was saved only by the Victoria delegates reducing their importance to the level of the others. If the lesson learned then has been forgotten it will have to be re-learned. The Victoria Colonist refers to Port Alberni as "one" of the most important points on the West Coast. It probably knows of some other "most important" points in this district. A St. Valentine's tea will be held on Wednesday next at the' Methodist parsonage.

G. H. and F. V. Robertson, Victoria, are the promoters of the company and a large amount of English capital is behind the deal. While the principals to the transaction are still reticent about stating for publication the prospective plans of the newly incorporated organization they make no secret of the fact that the near future will see a tremendous change effected in the condition of that part of the countryy-and the places tributary to it, in which their interests are located. The properties that have been taken over represent an area of about 90 to 100 miles located in and around Nootka, Nitinat and Clayoquot, all heavily cov ered with timber of the best possible type. Mr. Robertson declined to be drawn into any statement of the company's intentions in regard to their possession but he allowed that in the very near future the work of clearing and milling would commence. In view of the fact that the invested interest from England has not yet authorised any statement in regard to a programme, however, Mr. Robertson did not feel at liberty to give even a provisional one, but it was learned that the deal was one pregnant with possibilities for the western part of Vancouver Island. Alberni Incorporation Replies to enquiries made by letter as to whether the property holders of Alberni desire to incorporate, and when, have been reaching the president of the Alberni board of trade regularly for the past two weeks. Immediate incorporation is the general desire. Horses Runaway; Driver Is Injured D. T. Bush, driver for the West Coast Meat market, was thrown from the delivery waggon, in a runaway, on Tuesday morning, and painfully though not seriously injured. Mr. Bush was driving past the Port Alberni school house, Third avenue, when a ball, thrown by one of the children at play, struck one of the horses on the nose. The team immediately bolted, the wagon struck a rut and tilted. The driver, who had lost control of the reins, was dislodged from his seat, and landed on his face and hands in some coarse gravel, one of the hind wheels of the waggon passing over his right thigh when he fell. The runaway struck a stump at the intersection of Argyle street and became detached from the waggon. They continued their wild race to the Roger creek bridge where they were stopped. The injured man picked himself up and was able to limp home. He had no broken bones, but was cut on the head, his face badly' skinned, and sorely bruised on the thigh. Will Dig Gravel On China Creek A large scow, on which work has been proceeding for some days past, will be launched from the foot of Argyle street by Marshall Bros, early next week. A gravel dredge, ordered by the same firm, is on its way and, on its arrival, dredging operations will be commenced at the mouth of China creek. Gravel will be dug up, loaded onto the scow and brought to town to be kept in stock for building and street improvement work. The tug Sandai, owned by Marshall Bros., will be used to tow the scow to and from the dredge. The gravel at the mouth of China creek is of a grade particularly suitable for the purposes for which it will be marketed and the enterprise will meet a necessity in Port Alberni. Third Ave. Store Will Be Up-to-Date Fred G. Cox, of Nanaimo, who has arranged to open a dry goods and gent's furnishing store on Third ave., was in town again this week. The new store, on which work has already commenced, will be located opposite A. D. Cooper's office and residence, south of Argyle street. Mr. Cox has arranged for immediate shipment of a stock comprising a large assortment of the most fashionable as well as the most serviceable goods in his line, and he expects to be ready for business by the first week in march. Mr. Cox has had several years of experience in the dry goods and gent's furnishing business and has until recently been connected with the David Spencer stores. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. j ■ Charles A.

HARRY'S POOL ROOM H§? Don't let repairs eat up your profits Whether they represent actual cash outlay, or only the time of yourself and your help, repairs are waste just the same. When you make an improvement—no matter how small its cost may be—let it be permanent. Then it is a real investment, something on which you can realize in cash should you decide to sell_your property; and something that will pay you constant dividends in convenience, sightliness and comfort as long as the farm remains your own. Concrete Improvements Are Permanent They last as long as the very hills themselves. They do not require experts to- build them. Their first cost, in most cases, is no more than for inferior materials. Aren't you interested in tjie subject of permanent, modern farm improvements'? Then write for the book that describes hundreds of them— "WHAT THE FARMER CAN DO WITH CONCRETE" It Isn't a Catalogue. Every one of Its 160 handsomely Illustrated pages Is Interest.
