The Wizard made the test of the situation and there was no Injury and little hardship for thoso on board although, of course, the replacing of a. crankshaft is a long Job and the Wlnard will lose considerable time as well as having to meet a large expense In the bargain.

Additional Telegraphic News be found on l'.i;e 6 will assist the turning industry of B.C. It was said that recent atate- ments of government ofuc:aU and many reference to the subject In the press, not only In B.C.. but throughout the dominion have attracted public at tention to the necessity for aooie action designed to conserve the salmon fishery of this province. The attitude takec by men well versed In the financial possibilities of the salmon fUhlng industries indicates that unless something of a very restricting nature -.atull he given legislative effect, a very fruitful source of commercial return will be denied to 3.O. Experts' suggest that unless this course of action- is taken in the Immediate future a capital In vestment -of .approximately 30 .000.000 will be wiped out. This means of course a serious menace to the employment of several thousand fishermen who at the present time depend almost entirely for their living on the salmon fishing Industry. It is well understood that representations already have been made to both federal and provincial governments on behalf of the fishermen and canners. with a view to the obtaining of such restrictions as wUl preserve the Industry. OTIIEK KEMTKICTIOX.H It is also suggested that other res triction might be Imposed on the building of new canneries. Experts horoughly conversant with the fishing industry in B.C. auggest that any sup port and encouragement of this nature which might be extended would be a gTcat boon in an economic sense to this Important Industry. The fact that the salmon pack this year will be only about half that of 1923, lends emphasis o these argument and representations. It will be understood that employees a:.t employers alike not forgetting the business community, are vitally inter ested and concerned in the economic considerations that are involved In this Industry. Apart form the fact that it la neces sary to conserve the salmon iisning Industry however, there is an interna tional matter which demands consider ation from both provincial and federal authorities. This Is a racial question. Up to the present time, as far as the salmon canning industry is concerned, Japanese have been restricted to fishing. It is a matter of record, however. that up until 1922 the industry actually was dominated by the Japanese. Also, as a matter of record the govern ment of Premier Mackenzie King, soon after it acquired office, appointed what is known as the Dull commission to Investigate all the factors associated with the industry. Thla commission, it will be recalle'd recommended to the gov ernment that certain restrictions be placed on the activities of the Japanese and, as a matter of fact theee recommendations were put into effect immediately afterwards an'd fishing licenses to Japanese were reduced hy 40 per cent In number and the follow lng year these were reduced by another fifteen per cent and the present regulations provide that Japanese licenses are to be reduced ten per cent per year until they are eliminated altogether. JAPANESE ACTION There are three classes of fishermen on the coast namely trailers, gill-net-ters and ' seiners. Practically the only places In which the Japanese trollers are permitted to operate today are Vcluelet and Clayoquot, on tlte west coast of Vancouver Island and there are only about 50 of these. Japanese gUI-netters operate In considerable numbers only on the Skeena River, where they represent about 20 per cent of the total and on the Fraser river where they represent another twenty percent of the total.

Last Friday the support of the provincial gox'ernment was asked for drastic reductions in salmon fishing operations by a number of H.C. canr.ers. Premier MacLean received the delegation and listened sympathetically to their requesls. The canners asked the provincial authorities to support their proposal to the Dominion government that it reduce drastically the number of fishing licenses issued on this coast and the amount of fishing gear used. The delegation thought that while Premier Mac-Lean and Attorney General Manson were in Ottawa at the conference of provincial premiers they might ' be able to do something which would TRIAL HALTED MURDER CASE Juryman Becomes Separated From His Fellows and Judge Orders Them Dismissed VANCOUVER, Oct. 11.
