In the opinion of the gentle- men who have been investigat- ing the fishing situation for the President of the Booth Fish- eries, every man who can should buy a boat and get get busy. The slogan, “Buy a Boat,” raised by Geo, W. Nickerson in his address on “Fishing” at a Board of Trade luncheon some time ago, evidently the right one. Our recent visitors have had a world-wide experi- ence in the business, and their was opinions must carry weight. Certainly, the concessions granted by the Dominion gov- ernment are very valuable, and have already brought tangible results, but, according to Mr. Smithers, we must strive hard to develop a large Canadian fishing industry So long as there is the possibility of counter action from Wash- ington, at the instigation of the large interests in the South, it is unwise to depend too much on the trade we are getting from American bottoms. A reform in the fishing li- cense regulations, as suggest- ed by Mr. Nickerson, would do much to create a large Cana- dian fishing fleet here. A gen- eral expansion sof the industry than the procuring of a share of what already exists. Prince Rupert is ideally situated as a base for such an expansion, ‘being near the banks, and at the same time being the termi- nal point of a transcontinental railroad second to none on the here. is much more desirable continent.

It is a principle of law and equity that stolen goods can always be claimed by the owners, no matter in whose hands they may be or by what means the holders obtained possession. That the thefts were committed with the approval of the gov- of the day does ernment not affect the situation, for the FRED STORK’S HARDWARE rightful heirs were not con-| The Pacific has made a slight advance to- ward eliminating the possi- bility of profit from the idle) holding of land.
