The fish arrived in’ splendid condi- tion and met with a good recep- tion from traders who were pay- ing prohibitive prices for home- caught fish. Mr. a big Thomas Robinson, fleet for owner of trawlers, is re- the There has been a growing scarc- ity of halibut during the last year or two and Mr. Robinson es- tablished a private company to supply the demand. The recep- tion given to the first consign- ment amply justifies regular and larger shipments. Orders were received from all parts of the country but were refused, as_ it intended to make this an ex- clusive feature at Grimsby. That this will have the effect of in- ducing other wholesalers to en- ter the Canadian trade can hard- ly be doubted. Each year we conspicuous’ shortage Salmon is practically the only fish hitherto imported into this country; and with the large sup- plies available in Canada there is no reason—given an effective organization—why a big export trade should not be built up. ol sponsible importation. is experience a of fish, Goethals Is Governor Washingin, Jan. 27.—Presi- dent Wilson signed the executive order today putting into opera- tion on April 1 the permanent government in the canal zone.

Do Not Accept All Statements Mr. Scott threw out suggestions to those contempla- several ting investment or engaging in agricultural pusuits in British Columbia, “Don't put your money into anything without a careful investigation of its mer- its. Don't expect 100 per cent. profit in a short time without risk. Don’t buy agricultural lands without first seeing them and satisfying yourself that they are as represented. If impos- sible to see the land yourself se- cure the services of some one well qualified to judge, and then instruct him to examine the lands and report on them _ for you. Don't expect to get the best results from farming or fruit- growing if you have no knowledge of the business. Don't accept all hear to the statements you as the profits to be made out of either. Don't rush in and buy land as soon as you arrive in the province—take time to look round, Don’t think that money can be made out of farming without hard work. Don't at. tempt to farm more land than your capital will allow, and don’t put all your capital into land. There was a fine opportunity in British Columbia for those who had the capacity for work and the brains to carry on agricul- ture on scientific lines. British Columbia was no place for the idle, but it was the place for men with a natural! liking for country life, and possessed’ of a suffi- cient income, who wished to leave the stress and turmoil of our cities and live a peaceful life in a matchless climate. Me- chanics, artisans and clerks were not wanted, and would find it ex- tremely difficult at present to get employment. British Brains and Capital In conclusion, Mr. Scott said: “What we want is to see our great country developed by Bril- ish muscle, British brains, and British capital, The American is quick to see opportunities, and a very large amount of capital from America is invested in our timber, minerals and fisheries. Nothing can keep us back. We are at the gateway of what is destined to become the greatest highway of the world. Up to date luxurious vessels plough the waters of the blue Pacifie to China, Japan, Australia and New Victoria and Prince increasing by each of these Zealand.
