Dec. 1-1, 1927 FISHERMEN AXI) XKW REGULATIONS A j?reat many titihermen do not ye. aeern to understand the purport of the proposed new fishery regulation. Two points eem to stand out clear. One is that the tithing must be conducted in much a way that sufficient salmon will get to the spawning grounds each yeer to insure continuation of supply. Another point is that no government can step in and say one Canadian citiren can have a license arid another cannot. Then comes the question, how is the fishing to be kept within reasonable boamla without at the same time doing iajuatice to anyone and so that the best possible ue may be made of the product? The department has made a proposal. The coast waters wHl be divided into fishing areas. One of these, let us say, wWl be the Skeena River including Prince Rupert harbor. Suppose the normal number of gill netting licences to be one thousand. With that number fishing, the weekly clone season will be 48 hours. The moment the number exceeds one thousand, the closed seaion jumps automatic I ly to GO hours. That would make fishing leas productive to fishermen and canners and the tendency would be to lower the number of fishermen who would operate there. If the fishermen numbered twelve hundred, the close season would again jump to 72 hours. This is prely an imaginary case. Licenses would be issued for Skeena River district only and before another license to fish elsewhere was issued the Skeen River Hcwnse would have to be cancelled so as to keep track of the number issued. Under this scheme fish caught in the Skeena area would have to be marketed at one of the canneries in that area unless sold to the Cold Storage for f reeling or to anyone shipping them fresh- to the market. The chief idea in the scheme is to reduce the number of fishermen pperating in order that the river may not be fished out. CHIEF OBJECTION OF FISHERMEN The chief objection to the scheme by the fishermen is contained in the clause which prohibits fish' being sent from one area to another. That has already developed very clearly. We are not taking any part in the argument except to point out that the clause does hot eero essential to the scheme, no matter how desirable it may or mar not be. The fishermen think they get a better price with the market open but to that the canners dissent. It will be for the fishermen to lay their views clearly and plainly before the department in this regard forgetting everything that has gone before. If they have a better scheme they should propound it, but It must not be one that will interfere with the rights of. a citizen to fish 4f he so wishes. REGRETS DEPARTURE Many expressions of regret are heard at the fact that Lieut. R. P. Ponder is leaving the city and on that account is forced to give up his work in connection with the Royal Canadian Naval Vol-, unteer Reserve, which he organised here. He was Most enetgetic, i painstaking and courteous and carried out his onerous duties und$rt ' r difficulties which might have daunted one with less perseverance than be. j Both Mr. and Mrs. Ponder will be missed here. It seems a pity that arrangements could not have been made to keep such good ; citizens here but the powers that be have ordained otherwise. The good wishes of all will go with them. CHRISTMAS IN LOCALLARDERS Opportunities to Uuy Almost Everything Needed for Propel Holiday Celebration ' With Christmas only tn days away, the f torts dooiilu:i are now acquiring . Uiit expectant, anticipatory atmosphere so much asu catted with this time of the year. The mingled odors of the grocery atom arc gtastatortly easlting and the gaily decorated windows full of toys are a Joy to behold, bringing up visions of all the past Chrlrtmiui mornings when alf t us were on the verge of re titration of our unknown m-lohes This week nets the local stores all well itockM with all the mafcinV for a Merry ChHsOnsn dinner. Among the fruits available are grapes, pear. Florida grapefruit, bananas, navel and Jap oranges while there are also good supplies of cauliflower, lettuce tomato?, cucumbers. radishes. green onions, sweet potatoes, parsley. Brussels sprout celery, spinach. Hubbard squash and Spanish onions. One of the things noticeable this year, however. Is the wastage in the Jap oranges which perhaps partly accounts Tor th higher price than last year's. At the beginning of the season this is rather unusual and so far baa not been accounted far. Raisins are now aa cheap as Uiey probably will be Utla ! season, and an Increase in price Is promised tor the first of Use year. Christmas being yOver by that time. hoawrei. most people should worry. Cranberries to go with the Christmas turkey promise to be short. They are scasee right now with the price at 35c per lb. Batter took another rise In price yesterday and afaould soon be retailing at 56c a pound. Beef prices bare been steady for the past two weeks and will continue high. The retail price this year la roughly ten cents a pound higher than It was at this time last year. Live cattle are still coming Into the ccal sbbatolr and at the end of this year fully 300 head will have been 'jroiiuht In from the Bulkley Valley. A nice bunch of live lambs also arrived Um week from Houston Just east of Smithern and they were M nke hH of fed lambs as could be wished for. Eggs .his week are slightly cheaper with supplies more plentiful. Supplies of pork are however rather disappointing, the quantity offered at Edmonton during November being only 3S per cent of those offered In November 192fl. The consequent scarcity wUl doubtless have the effect of causing all pork pro ducts to go higher. Turkey promise to -etail at from 56c to 60c, geese from 38c H. S.

Tor the iat week or two In Prince Rupert several radio seta have been making the night hideous with Interference, consisting ot howls, roars, shrieks and long continued low and high whistles With the exception oX one or two sets causing a steady whistle moat or the disturbance la from a number or one to three tube regenerative sets. A great number of these sets are at present being sold very cheap In Vancouver, all terrifo!-. noisy li: reception (causing noise m se up ;o five miles away) and win not give good reception here, so rar from trie broadcasting a taste ns People using these seta possibly do not realize that their set la acting like a broadcasting station, as rar as their n!gbbrs are ooBcernrd. sod ruWilog their reception. The government rad-lo department have warned all uses against these noisy sets. People using tttem get little or nothinK themselves, but often ruin a splendid program for those having good sets. Practically all sets that receive good are absolutely quiet and do not bother other users and It Is a shame that the noisy w's continue to be used. I suggest t.irtt ii interested in good reception hem what a good quiet set will do, auu endeavor to either get a good set or learn to operate the noisy set quietly, as hy careful handling It u possible. Several k people who cannot get any othir an uement have set', and I believe pe' pi.- using sets should keep this in mind: especially tbmt young children be not permitted tc apertment with the dials, to the annoyance of other users.
