London, Feb. 9—The Cana- dians at-+Salisbury Plain have been served with metal identifi- eation dises preparatory to their leaving for the Continent. New equipment has been issued to them. NO EASY MONEY FOR METLAKATLA INDIANS The city solicitor presented the Council with a report on the de- mands of the Metlakatla Indians for a yearly payment of $500 for certain imagined damages to their reserve at Shawatlans by the city hydro-electric. Before the city commenced op- erations the Indian Department was communicated with and re- plied that the eharge for cross- ing the reserve would be nominal apart from any damages done to the property. The reserve in that district contains ten acres and according to the city solicitor is worth about $5 per aere. The city has already paid $250 for this conces- sion, which would buy out the land several times, and besides this no damage was done to the land. With regard to the Indian claim that the blasting of the stream has damaged their fishing grounds, the Fishery Depart- meént declares that it has improv- ed them, as’ Shawatilans Lake is now far more accessable as a spawning ground than fermerly Indeed, the department had this in view, in any case. No damage was therefore done to the fishing grounds. The advice of the city solicitor, therefgre, was that the Indian Department be notified that the sum would not be paid under any circumstances. If the nominal sum paid for crossing the land was not enough, then an impartial party should go over it and assess it. He opposed the local Indian agent having any- thing to do with it —————— MARKET BYLAWS.

The chairman of that,com- mittee said that as far as he knew there was the formation of one underway.
