FISHERMEN ON STRIKE
FOR HIGHER PRICES

Three Companies in the Salmon
Packing Trade Are Affected—
Difficulties to be Settied

The W. R. Lord, of the Can-
adian Fish & Cold Storage Com-
pany’s fleet, which arrived in
port last night from the fishing
banks off Graham Island, brought
word that a strike among the
fishermen had been declared some
two or three days since. Three
companies, the Wallace Fisheries,
the B. C. Fisheties and the Can-
adian Fish & Gold Storage Com-
pany, are affected. The ditticulty
between the men and the com-
panies is a matter of price, a de-
mand being made for an increase
of the present price of 3% cents
per pound. As far as can be
learned, the men have not agreed
upon a uniform scale. Alto-
gether about three hundred fish-
ermen have struck.

Interviewed by the “Daily
News,” Mr. Lord, who has charge
of the salmon fisheries for the
Canadian Fish & Cold Storage
Company, stated that in his opin-
ion matters would be satisfac-
torily arranged in a very short
time. “In fact,” he said, “I
should not be surprised if the
James Carruthers, which is ex-
pected today from the fishing
banks, should bring word that
the men have gone back to work.”

When the W. R. Lord arrived
last night she had 31,000 pounds
of halibut and 50 salmon.

TAKEN SUDDENLY ILL

Don Peck of Georgetown Was
Admitted to Hospital Yesterday.

Don Peck, son of Hal Peck of
Georgetown, was taken to the
hospital about noon yesterday
suffering apparently from  ap-
pendicitis. Early yesterday morn-
ing he came to the city on a
launch with his father on busi-
ness. About 11 o'clock he was
suddenly afflicted with cramps
and it was feared that an opera-
tion might be neeessary. Re-
ports from the attending physi-
cian this morning state that the
patient has shown marked im-
provement and is likely to be out
of the hospital in a very few
days.

SIR JOHN LUBBOCK
GONE TO HIS REST

Famous Scientist, Entomologist
and Financier, Later Known
as Lord Avesbury, Dead

 

(Special to The Daily News.)

London, May 29.—The Rt. Hon.
Lord Avebury, famous scientist
and financier, died yesterday at
the age of seventy-nine. In his-
tory he will be better known as
Sir John Lubbock and as an en-
tomologist of the first rank.
Many scientists have made pil-
grimages to his country home,
near Maidstone, Kent, where his
studies of insects, particularly
ants, were demonstrated. He
wrote several entertaining books
upon the habits of this insect that
proved popular. His writings, in
fact, cover a considerable field
and are marked by a keen obser-
vation of natural phenomena and
animal and vegetable life, and his
style is at onee sympathetic and
lucid.

As a member of parliament he
was identified with several legis-
lative measures of a popular
character, among which he had
the credit of securing the stata
tory observance of bank holidays.
As a financier he was almost
equally prominent, the, great
banking house of Lubbock & Co.
being one of the institutions of
England.

DOMINION GOVERNMENT HAS

The dominion government has
decided to establish a big first-
order light at Cape St. James,
following an examination which
has proven that it is the only lo-
gical point to mark the southern
entrance Hecate Strait. Deep
going through to
Prince Rupert will proceed by the
outside passage and after losing
sight of the big light on Triangle
Island, the next star in the aid to
navigation firmament to be pick-
ed up will be Cape St. James.

Within a few years it is fore-
easted that almost as many of
the vessels will be using the out-
side passage as ply up and down
the inside waterway. As a result
the government has decided to
have the coast well lighted so
that navigation may be rendered

McCARTY’S ESTATE.

Luther MeCarty, the heavy-

only twenty-one years of age.
He fought his first two years ago

Watkins Adams, champion heavy
weight of the Northwest, in two
rounds. Then he beat Joe Grim
in Calgary, the latter bout prac-

tically being his start in the ring.
Here is his reeord:—

far Jess difficult and the danger
of accidents reduced to a mini-
mum. ‘The lights on the outside
passage will not be so numerous
as those in operation on the in-
side route, owing to there being
much more water and far fewer
treacherous rocks,

Next year it is expected that
work will be started on the new
Bonilla Island lighthouse, which
will also be one of the guiding
lights in Hecate Strait. The
lighthouse tenders will have an
exceptionally busy year keeping
pace with the enormous amount
of work which is to be under-
taken. The new steamer Este-
van will be of great assistance

 

and will relieve the pressure
greatly.
