DAILY EDITION 'St 98 86 .75 $5.00 $7.50 Saturday, July 9, 1927 BEING LEFT TO DRIFT Dr Simon Fraser Tolmie, ConservaU ve organizer for the province of British Columbia and formerly minister of agriculture in the Dominion government, tells the newspapers in the south that Central British Columbia has in the past been left to drift. Now what does the Honorable gentleman propose. He proposes nothing.' He knows or ought to know that the provincial government maintains a representative in the Bulkley Valley and another in the Nechaco who help place new settlers, gathers information and lead in all matters for the betterment of the farmers. The government encouraged the growing of timothy seed and provided cleaners for the use of the farmers. They put in force the Land Settlement Act to induce settle ment. They were successful in inducing the erection of an abattoir in .Prince Rupert by P. Burns & Co. to handle the cattle raised by the farmers. The elevator was erected by the party which Dr. Tolmie criticizes and this has been the one greatest factor in the recent im provement in farming conditions. While Dr. Tolmie was minister of agriculture in two successive Dominion governments the need for an experimental farm in the central part of British Columbia was just as great as it is today but he did nothing to remedy the situation, yet he now comes out and suggests that the King government should So what his government refused to do. , . Dr. Tolmie is a fine man. We know him personally but we do not like to see him misrepresent matters in the interior of the pro ; vince. Probably he is misinformed.

The game being played at Geneva by the three friendly powers Great Britain, United States and Japan to secure supremacy each for his own country, is an intensely interesting study in diplomacy, and especially the part being played by Japan. Nippon realizes that the under seas craft and the air craft are going to be the greatest power of the future. While Great Britain and United States were having a friendly wrangle over cruiser and battleship supremacy she said little, but she put in her word to keep both as low as possible. Then when submarines were mentioned she suddenly loomed large in the discussion and asked to be placed almost on an equality with the other two larger powers. . A lot more discussion will be necessary before anything definite is;decidea upon and in the meantime it will be interesting to follow the trend of affairs at the Geneva conference. 1 i Men who are anxious for the Dominion Tory might spend the summer addressing political HALIBUT CONSERVATION Halibut conservation is undoubtedly one of the problems of the day and it wjll be necessary to take some action tq,cpntinue the in dustry. Probably the fisherman know more than 'anybody else what means are desirable to protect, the fish so it is very desirable tha they make their wishes known.' This is the time to do it. The should bombard the international commission with any ideas they may have. After action is taken by the authorities it is useless to set up a howl. The time to act is now, while the plans are being made. Edmonton isadvert1sing herself as the Eastern portal to Jasper National Park.

It is Serious When The Kidneys Go Wrong These letters tell of two cases in which Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills afforded thei desired relief. For about half a century Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills have been known to the public as an effective treatment for the relief of kidney ills. Before that they had been for years .proven in private practice. Surely they have stood the test of time. And to-day they are more popular than ever before. Why! Simply because they produce the desired result. You Know when you use them that you are not experimenting with an untried medicine. Mrs. Fred Martin, Box 61, Bradford, Ont., writes: "I em highly recommend Dr. Chase's K.iL. Pills, as I used to suffer gunie with gravel in the kidneys and tried several medicinal with no results, until one day I decided to try Dr. Chase's K. L L. Pills and obtained so much benefit from them that I am now never, without a box in use and one in reserve. I certainly wish Dr. Chase's Medicines f'ery success." Miss Mary- Pettipas, 168, Upper Water St., Halifax, N.3., writes. "I suffered for two years with kidney trouble and tried a great deal of medicine, which did not help me at alL I was so nervous I could not rest at night. A neighbour advised me to try your K. & L.

Halttock; Iloth Tell of Depletion of Fish on Hanks MAY CLOSE MASSETT International Action Likely tj Follow Representations in He- i gard tu Conditions J VICTORIA. July 9. Outrtnred that the bailout fisheries of the North Pa.j clfle are on their wy to "disastar." the' International fishery commission , Is planning K tike the fishing Industry ; into Its confidence completely before, recommending ery regulations for wring the givst Canadian and Amertean food resource. Next fall members of till commission wUl hold a general mating when fishermen and everyone Interested u the Industry will be given an opportunity to speak. John P. Bab- oock. chairman of the eommlssloo, an nounced In an Important statement is sued here. Following this conference with the men operating In the halibut business. the commission wUl. draft an Interim report to the Canadian and United States governments, Mr. Baboock An nounced, snd Intimated that closing of some of the halibut banks to fttblBg as an experiment In conservation would be one of the proposals considered. MA!ETT AMI POM LOCK Features of Mr. Babcock's carefully- prepared statement, the first detailed summary of the commission's work yet Issued, sre: Alarming depletion has occurred in the southern halibut banks, once the chief source of bslibut supply, until now If the Msssett and Porttock banks were closed altogether the total catch would scarcely be affected. Fishermen are going further and further out to sea for halibut, and while, with more Intensive fishing methods the total catch has been practically maintained, this process "cannot go on without disaster." The halibut fishermen themselves. realizing the danger ahead, are almost unanimously In favor of closing some of the more depleted fishing banks l.MT CATCH 1IKC1.IMM! In the southern banks the catch per unit of gear declined from 450 pounds :n 1906 to iorty-seven pounds In 1926. Biological studies of fish with the use it tagging methods, the first thorough investigation of this kind ever undertaken, indicate that the halibut do not form a homogeneous race but comprise a variety M races which may mingle when the) re mature. These studies show further that the younger fish can be treated and protected as separate units, bank by bank information upon which the commission can judge to some extent of the results of any regulations which it may propose. At the same time It Is "an open ques tion as to whether the fishery can be cdnservlngly administered," but the commission Intends to continue its scientific studies when the halibut ses- bn opens sgaln next winter. The propped cloving of halibut banks is a scheme which will require earnest consideration and would be only an experiment. Banks closed in this way might produce breeders and reseed themselves or they might not. Mr. Babcock's statement, given out after a recent . meeting of the fishery commission In Seattle, is in part al follows: THOMPSON' ItKPOKT "Dr. W. F. Thompson, director of the International fisheries commission's Investigations, laid a wealth of detailed information before the commissioners their meetings held In Seattle recently. "The commission ha, as has many times been stated, engaged in a study of the halibut fishery and the Ufa history of the halibut for the Canadian snd United States governments. A vast amount of data has been collected to lestabllsh the condition of the fishery, and experiments have been conducted to disclose the facts in the life history cf the halibut, which are essential to the administration of the fishery. depletion kykuyh iieke "The statistical data indicates clearly that depletion has taken place every where, the degree of this depletion far exceeding anything which could possibly be confused by minor errors such as difference In gear used. But the most striking decline has been on the southern bank. In 1906, when the British Columbia fisheries department obtained our first really reliable records, the catch per unit of gear in Hecate Straits was In the vicinity of 450 pounds. Through the years It showed a steady decline to 1914. when it was approximately 143 pounds, snd we have found that since then the rate of decline has continued evenly, until in 1927 the yield was but 47 pounds per "skate." Almost equally striking results are available for other banks. SOrrilKIEN BANKS DEPLETED "The totsl landed from the whole coast has not markedly declined, the highest' recent year being but 10,000,000 pounds below the year of maximum return. The total yield has not, however, been maintained on the southern banks. There the decline In total taken has clearly begun, so that to maintain the total for the whole coast the fishery has bad to shift to the westward. There the yields from the individual bt.ilcs have Increased ! despite tbe fact that the actual abundance Is on the decline, tbe amount , taken from the banks near Kqdlak hev-i Ing tripled In the last three years. This j shift of the fishery with the decline 'of the southern banks was taking place erly a I'll, and has continued oot- latently Stat. Tb. prat eaauuM go on wtthevt eUwater.

There are big-headed, alow-growing rae, and smell-headed, fast-growing race, but on th offshore' hankt there la earn evidence that these races Intermingle when mature. "Some prog res ha also breo made in tbe study of spawning places and deptha at which spawning occurs. Ft lag tertfllaed egg hav been take at a epih of over two hundred fathoms, and few larvae have been taken, smaller than any previously recorded. This material is important from th suudpolavt cf the drift of the eggs and larrae. and the corresponding spawning mi grations of the adults, but the materiel so far ob tallied from this line of work Is scant. Just as It was weil under wy our field work vat stopped, the chartered halibut fUhlng vaasel Seandla was wrecked and til the xpenal deep sea apparatus was lost.

TM la particularly true of the demonstration that the younger fish oan be treated and protected as separate units, bank by bank. So complete Is the Information at haiuu that the commissioners have a splendid basis upon which to Judge of the results of any regulations in effect or proposed. com tittscK ritornvEi) "It Is proposed to invite the principal officers of the Fishermen's asao-etatioM, the Vesssi-Owners' Auuetotlon and the leading halibut dealers on the Pacific ooaat 'to visit our offices at tbe University of Washington, Seattle, where the director and his staff will show them the nature of the data that has been compiled In order that they msy be fully Informed of tbe drift of the evidence which the commission has accumulated. 'This wilt be followed by a general meeting, when aU Interested parties will bi ssked to express their vle-7s. Following that conference the commissioners tinxdraft aft interim report for presentation to their respective governments.'' no chaWukelT in time allowed passengers in port The question of a longer stop at Prince Rupert for the east-bound passengers was sgaln the subject of mention at the board of trade meeting last night, Thomas McClymont presiding. A letter from B. C. Keeley. head At the coast steamship service, was read In which It was explained that It would be almost Impossible to make any change at present. This reply was not very satisfactory and the opinion was expressed that Prince Rupert was as usual being made the goat. After It was suggested that the company would probably snake some changes another season, tbe matter was allowed to drop, the letter being referred to the trade 'and navigation committee for further consideration.
