There is a general holiday and a program of sports and games has been prepared which will prove of interest. Labor Day is designed as a recognition of the importance of labor in a democratic community and we take great pleasure in commending the celebration to the people of Prince Rupert as one worthy of wholehearted support. NO BANK AMALGAMATION We strongly urge on the dominion government that they exercise their right in preventing the amalgamation of the Bank of Commerce with the Standard Bank as against the best interests of the banking system and of the people of Canada. Should the time come when the banking fysteras of Canada get into so few hands that competition is eliminated, there is grave danger that steps may be taken by the people to curtail their rights as wholly unnecessary. As it is they geta great many privileges which would undoubtedly be denied to a monopoly. If there was need of this particular amalgamation, we should offer no objection but we are told there is no real need. The merger is simply in the interests of economy. To that we are opposed and we believe the people of the country will also be opposed if it is explained to them. Cut Throat Fishing In Lakelse Subject of Article by Visitor In Canadian Outdoor Magazine (By James Clyde Gilbert in Rod and Gun in Canada) We left Edmonton early in the evening. I promised Jim that by daybreak we would be in the mountains. This was his first trip west ana ne was an eagerness. We had five pieces of baggage be sides a wardrobe trunk. Most of this was fishing and hunting gear and his greatest anxiety was that we would in some manner leave one of the five. He had to follow the porter with his truck full of bags and trunks to make sure his beloved rods were riding safely. At thirteen one worries over such momentous things.

It is solid and lard-like at ordinary temperatures. When irted these fish have been used as andles. a wick having bean placed in them. They are whKe, scarcely silvery, from ten to twelve Inches long.

Gathering up our poles. Kennedy kit and other duffle, we plied into Mr. Burnett's -ar and started for Lakelse Lake some twenty-five miles south of the railroad. Mrs. Burnett followed us with Mm.

A be-whlskered gentleman somewhat resembling King Oeorge and a mighty fine man by the way whose name I Hart came down to get our bags.

Jim, Bob, Stan and I ac companied Burnett and Fulton In two boats to a point about 300 yards north of the wharf. Near the mouth of a creek we found the trout leasing fall about the boat. I lost two leaders in the savrg rusk of several fish and finally put on a heavy six foot gut leader. I was fiah- lnf with Mr. Fulton who la an attorney of Prinee Rupert.
