' "Ji it's sport you want, good fishin' and huntin.', you'd best come back with me." '* ' The speaker was a fisherman from British Columbia, a man who had his sport and earned his bread in a little fishing smack on the Fraser River and along the Pacific coast. He had come back east to see "the folks," arid they had expected him" to stay, but he would not, no, not yet. Maybe in a few years, when he was too old to fish, or do much of anything, he might come back, but he did not know. There wns a something in tha swish of the tide and the smell of the ocean and tho rock of his little ■fishing smack out there that was a- calling to him, and lis wanted to go. •;Many a tourist who has visited the Pacific coast ami who has been for-. tunate enough to see the fishing bbat3 leave Steveston on a Sunday evening will understand tha desire of the-fish*.; efmen to return to the life that "would always be a-calling him. Hundreds of boats gather in for the clo«e time, which is from six o'clock Saturday, inorning until six o'clock Sunday evening, to allow the-fish to get up the rivers to t_._ spawning ground. Promptly at the hour of release the little white sailboats, like a flock of large birds; unfurl their wings and akim out over the water. At first they appear to be going together, but aoon they are spread far and wide. ov-r the rolling-waves, dancing gaily along north, south, east and west, until one by one they disappear, each careless little craft on a deadly purpose bent. Although fishing is spoken of as one of tiie leading industries of British Columbia, and there are some [twelve thousand men engaged in fishing and in the canneries, the fringe 'of the industry'has not yet been cut. Some idea of where British' Columbia will stand in thi3 industry in the.future may be gleaned from the fact that, although the average annual out-' pat for several years has been over six million dollars, 80 per cent, of this is credited to salmon alone, which, except halibut, is the only fish that has been taken in large quantities for commercial purposes. 7 The reason thut the salmon has fallen such an easy victim to man is due to its habits, and, by the way, the name salmon does not properly belong to any fish in the Pacific.; However, they have become the commercial salmon of the world. The so-called salmon is similar in form .and habits to those found in the Atlantic^ but their life history is different, that is. so far as it is known, which as yet is but slightly. But that slightly reveals what man would call a tragedy. Maybe in fish life it is not. The .Sock-eya or Blueback salmon is commercially the most important fish in British Columbia, and, like'the 'other kinds of salmon, it generally deposits the spawn in lake fed or lake feeding streams, the first of the run pushing up to the extreme head waters.. This run is where the^tra^ gedy begins. Every fourth year , is called "the big year," the following year "the lean year." Why this is so no one can tell, altlidugh many theories have been offered. On this fourth year the run in the Fraser Eiver has been known to be. so great that the fish; have cirbWded ana shoved in their eagerness to, get up until some have been left oh the banks to die, and others have- been bruised and battered in the crowd. But many fish reach the desired spawning grounds, and here is the fish tragedy. As soon ns the spawn is deposited the fish die; both male and female. Some mad Impulse urges thletri~6ri until they fuifirtneir"mission in life, and then maybe they hear the (.all to the "fishes' paradise" where men do not fish. Anyway, whatever happens, they die without a struggle. A peculiar feature of this large run every fourth year in the Fraser is that It has no marked counterpart In nny other river in the province or on tho coast. No one has. yet been able to tell the life history of the young. It is not known how long they live in the fresh water before going out to sea, nor is anything known of their feeding f;rouuds in the salt water. It is be- ieved they must live in the open sea, for they are never found in the bays afid intetaf,-;' Which are So numerottd along the coast, nor is anything" seen of them again until the fourth year, when theic is another mad rush for the head waters,and after that dead fish line the sHtiW or'float, belly up, down the river. 7 7 Fishermen claim that fish have been marked .in,the^big year when on their way backed the ticeari and that the satoe fish have been caught the , fourth year after. This, however,. has not been authenticated. A peculiar thing about the salmon is the distortion the heads of the males undergo when goifag up the. rivers. The. Dog salmon ana the Humpback get their names because , of this distortion. These, and also the Spring salnioti-and tho Ooho, are valuable c6nliiie',"iiilly in British Columbia. I British Columbia cunnot help having n large fishing industry for it has a coast line, including Vancouver Islands and the Queen Charlotte Is- ! lands, of 15,000 miles, protected from the ocean storms by thousands of islands and all the coast waters are teeming with life, life from tho tiny | sardine to tho mighty vlale. And tbo great advance mado in salmon canning is but an instance of what 1 moy be expected in the future. The fl'tst salmon cannery was e« TWO ACTORS OF DLT.MJTlOfa. forontonians In Bed-Tap? Play Seemed Rather Nervous. Two well-known Torotnoniaas whose talent tor acting has be-n allowed to lie dormant all their _ive» made their debuts a few days ago. Mr. Lawredce Solman, the manager of the Toronto Ferry Co., will always be able to say that they appeared in the original production of Rupert Hughes' farce, "Excuse Me." It was given a reading here in order that the owners might copyright it in England, as the law requires a red-tape performance, and the stage manager had a very seried array of talent at his disposal. > 7 Mr. Garwood appeared very much at home in the role of a"TJk>rgyman, who was trying to disguise.while oh a holiday, so that no one would recognize his profession. Mr. Solman had the part of an Easterner who was crossing the continent in order to be married, and it appeared to make him very nervous. The nervousness may have been assumed to fit the part, it may have resulted from an effort to keep track of his lines and also occasionally answer the 'phone in the grant office, but a casual observer would have said that Lol Solman had; stage frighit.. The audience was very small and select, and the way in which they applauded seemed to disconcert some of the less experienced actors, though the nrteitibera of the professional company did not mind. Half; way through. tho second act, a large section or the audience interrupted. His remarks did not suggest perfect satisfaction, but he- may Hav« been bveraritieal. "I may riot have, paid anything}tb get in," he said,: "butjtist tha-same I think I have ai right to the look.of! a man who knows his own mind.

He looks all right.r-Saturday Night. tlsar^d thV Governor. Oapl. Dan Macauley, a Newfound-, lander engaged many yearg in sealing, had an adventure at the Com- manderofski seal rookeries some years ago, which was as daring as it was cheeky. It was a. dull April morning when hir schooner Beatrice—she afterwards became the Duchess of Bedford when used by the Mikkelsen Arctic expedition and- Was wrecked in the Arctic—anchored off the seal rookeries ,and the Russian guard of :Jhe eovftrnbr^ ahd_ien.i.men. did not see the sealer in the tog. There were twenty-four men on the sealing schooner and flteen of them landed with rifles and went .direct to tha little fort near the seal rookery. Capt. Macauley went in to see the governor of the island, and presented his compliments. He told the Russian that he had come to raid the sealing ground. He informed the governor that ten men Were no good to drive out his twenty-four men, and they might as well look at the matter in a proper light. He had brought some whisky ashore anyhow, in th? hope that the governor might accept his hospitality. The Russian sat down at one side ot the table, the aialfer at the other, while his cr?w Was engaged on. the sealing grounds clubbing and skinning the valuable -lur bearers. • POr several days Capt.

Adoertising tales upon application. Real estate seems to have taken quite a lively turn lately, every day bringing news of some important deal having been put through. A good deal of attention seems to be paid just now to business lots, which in itself is a sure indication that there are good times ahead. Kelowna is not by any means a boom town—grown up in a month to fall flatter than a last week's newspaper. It's record of progress has been steady but sure and solid, and now it seems as though it were on the eve of coming into it's own. Business was never so good as it has been this spring is the general opinion. There :"s a vague and indefinablejfeel- ing to be noticed as one goes around town—a feeling which finds expression in a confident and cheerful optimism—that our velocity is accelerating—in short, that we are getting a move on. And why not ? Where in the whole valley will be found so much good land as surrounds Kelowna? Where in the whole province i3 so much costly development work being carried on as will be found within a few miles radius of our town ? Many hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent, are being spent, and will still be spent, in the improvment of the rich areas of fruit land, which will some day make of Kelowna one of the busiest shipping centres in the interior of the province.

It is characteristic of the sex that woman had an intuitive understanding of the economic value of good clothes long before the idea penetrated the reasoning head of man. Always she has wanted them for herself (and usually she gets them). The small boy lifting his vpice against the maternal application of soap suds and scrubbing brush is the early masculine protest against the doctrine of the value of appearance which met the usual and most deserved fate of masculine protest. It is one of the unending struggles of feminine intelligence to instil the truth of the doctrine in the dull male mind. But the dull male mind is beginning to understand and appreciate.—He is beginning to demand finer rainment with the result that the demand for 20th Century Brand Garments keeps the big tailor shops in Toronto working overtime.

Kelowna. - Provincial and General News - Much criticism is directed against the United States in Great Britain in consequence of their maintaining a navy on the Great Lakes in contravention of the terms of the Rush- Bagot .treaty. The London press holds that evidence has thus been given to show that the United Stales does not really desire the adoption of a peace pact with Great Britain. Messrs. E. A. Weir, an expert agriculturist and horticulturist from Ontario, and E.W. White, a son of Rev. Silva White of New Westminster, have been specially commissioned by the provincial department of agriculture to proceed to Northern British Columbia, via valleys of the Naas and Skeeria Rivers, and investigate the agricultural and horticultural possibilities of that great region. The Canadian Northern Railway have let a contract to the Cowan Construction Co. for a line from Edmonton to the Peace River, The. line leaves the mam line at Ono- wajv thirty miles west of Edmonton runs northwest to Pembina and to the Athabasca River, and crosses at Athabasca, eighty miles- below the McLeod River, then goes to the Duregan on the Peace River and through Pine Pass to the Pacific coast opening up millions of acres of agricultural land. A movement is afoot at North Yakima among sportsmen today to compel various irrigation companies to efficiently screen the intakes of the irrigation ditches, in order to prevent fish from going down into the orchards and there perishing. It is not unusual for farm hands to catch big trout in the small lateral ditches during the spring and thousands of young fry end a short and unprofitable life in some small irrigation ditch because of the lack of screens. Seven Indian chiefs, representing all the Fraser Valley tribes under the leadership of Chief Mathias, will attend the coronation. They will leave on May 15. Hon. W.. J.

Agnew was sent to Kamloops with a man named Felfa, who was given three months for assaulting Cbnstable Carpenter.

American immigrants give reasons for their trek into western Canada, being attracted by the rich lands that_ can Abe^ secured allow prices. Buenos Ayres has been visited by a terrible flood which has caused great loss of life and property. Two hundred bodies were found within the limits of a few streets along the waterfront, and in the outskirts of the city. Thousands of families are homeless, and. both official and private charity organizations are working to raise funds for their relief. A Scotsman, Geo. Garin, dropped dead last Wednesday at Revelstoke while at work on a C.P.R. steam shovel. The census commissioners of the interior of British Columbia will meet E. S. Macphail of Ottawa, special census officer, at Revelstoke on May 8 and 9 for the purpose of receiving instructions as to the manner of carrying out the taking of the census in June next and for the discussion of matters affecting the work of the enumerators in this portion of the province.

The Hon. Dr. H. E. Young, minister of education, is to be acting premier during the absence of Premier McBride at the coronation. The citizens of Canada are becoming thoroughly aroused over the " Ne Temere " decree of Pope Pius. It appears that this ecclesiastical law of Rome has been made the civil marriage law of Quebec, and under it the courts have annulled marriages performed by Protestant ministers. That such a thing could be possible under the British flag is almost inconceivable, and in fact, outside of Quebec it would not be tolerated for one moment A Rare Opportunity Germany will have an army bf one million men engaged in military manoeuvres this summer. These men, all strong and active, would do more real good to the world, says the Free Prdss, if engaged in breaking up homesteads in western Canada. Alberta needs farm hands.

The Grand Truhk Railway is proposing to spend three million dollars in abolishing the level crossings in Montreal. An outbreak of measels in the R.N.W.M.P. barracks at Regina. may be the cause of the coronation trip for the contingent of mpunted police, seven of whom were chosen from Alberta, being cancelled.

Business is good ; a number of important real estate turns have already been made rat leasfone new bank is to be opened, another is having new building erected, and plans are being laid for additional extensive buildings. The prevalent prosperity is rendering it constantly more difficult to obtain property at low prices, and this difficulty will undoubtedly increase from year to year with the settling up ofthe surrounding country.

Clement or E. L. Clement at once.
