DRUNK ON CIDER

An Indian Became Riotous from
Soft Drinks

“When are soft drinks hard?”
is the interesting question rais-
ed by the case of William Me-
Donald, an Indian, in the police
court this morning. McDonald
had been imbibing drinks of so-
ealled soft cider until he became
quite lively and was taken in
charge by a police constable. He
was fined five dollars for being
drunk and disorderly.

At the same time another Me-
Donald, Michael, an
was haled before the magis-
trate. He was curious to know
how the Indian had come by his
name but the only information
that he received was that he
would have to pay for being
drunk and disorderly. His fine
was $10 and $2 costs.

COLLECTING FISH

WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION TO
OF THE FISHERIES AT

The Dominion government is
arranging, through the depari-
ment of marine and fisheries, for
a ten thousand dollar exhibit of
food fish at the Toronto exhibi-
tion this year. -The exhibit will
be the first of its kind ever at-
tempted in Canada, and is ex-
pected to be of great educational
value. Arrangements for the
display are now being completed
by W. A, Fouad, dominion super-
intendent of fisheries. A large
number of the leading fish com-
panies of Canada will contribute
toward the exhibit under the di-
rection of the department. The
display will include live fish in
tanks,. cured fish, fresh fish in
cold storage and mounted speci-
mens of some rare varieties. An-
drew Halkett; curator of the
fishery museum at Ottawa, will
be in charge.

FOR BIG |
EXHIBIT AT TORONTO FAIR

THE LITTLE KNOWN WEALTH
PRINCE RUPERT—ITS

GREAT EDUCATIONAL VALUE.

The exhibit will corsist prin-
cipally of several varieties of
commercial fish, representing the
fisheries of the Atlantic and Pa-
cific coasts, and of great inland
waters of Canada. Large cold

'storage refrigerators, with a ca-

pacity of six tons, will be in.
stalled, storage fish being yisible
from the outside by means of
glass doors.

Special means will be adopted
for diffusing information in re-
gard to fish by means of lectures
and the distribution of literature,
and finally by the novel but con-
clusive method of giving visitors
to the exhibit samples of the fish
to eat. There will be a kitchen
in connection with the display,
and the chef will fry fish steaks,
which will be served free of
charge.

 

 

 

PROSPECTS FOR NEW:
TRANSCONTINENTAL

Mr. Verschoyle Tells Bella Coola
People of the Pacific & Hud-
son Bay Road.

Mr. Verschoyle arrived yester-
day on his way to Tatlayoco
Lake to look over iron
claims in which he and Mr. and
Mrs, Kicklenton are interested.
He reports that the state of the
money markets in London and
New York make it practically im-
possible to obtain money for new
ventures at the present time, but
there are, however, indications
that the worst stringency is over
and that there should be improve-
ment shortly. As regards the
Bella Coola! railway he has noth-
ing new to report. After a very
strenuous campaign at Ottawa
he succeeded in getting the Pa-
cic & Hudson Bay Railway on
the revised list: that is to say, it
was pul ahead of about one hun-
dred and fifty schemes, that were
applying for government assist-
ance. If any new schemes had
received any help this session
this railway would have been the
first on the list. ‘The big de-
mands of the G. N. R, and the G,
T. P, made it impossible for the
government to consider new
business.—Bella Coola Courier.

Two Companies Own Practically
All the Big Timber on

G. G. Davis, logging superin-
tendent for the British Golumbia
umber Corporation, returned to
Vancouver last week, after spend-
ing a week at Sewall and adja-
cent country looking over timber
limits, The B. C. Lumber Cor-
poration owns 180 square miles
of timber lands on Graham
Island, principally around the
lake at the inlet. The holdings
of the Graham Island Settlement
Company, owner of the townsite
of Sewall, adjoin those of the
lumber: corporation and the two
cempanies own practically all of
the big timber on Masset Inlet.
Mr, Davis will make his report
to the company and he is of the
opinion that within a very short
time they will begin the con-
struction of a big mill, similar to
the one at New Westminster,
which employs about five hundred
hands,

The Sewali townsite people
own about 30,000 acres of land,
about 15,000 acres of which are
fine timber lands, but some other
parts of it have a light growth
of timber.—Masset Leader.
