JOHN'S, Nfld., Nov. 23. A definite change in the configuration of the Burin peninsula resulted from Monday's earthquake. Hon. Georce Bartlett said on arrival here yesterday. He witnessed the tiflal wave which swept, in from the Atlantic 40 feet hinh two hours after the nuake denuded the Burin peninsula shores of habitation and irr places swept inland, destroying bridges and highways. The .1 it- in ' ueuui list may ioiai 4U. Bartlett saw the wave from the deck of the steamer Daisy which was raised high above the Government wharf at Burin on (the crest of the wave and then touched bottom where ordinarily there is eighteen feet of water when the wave receded and the vessel settled safely. Mr. Bartlett said that where vessels of fifteen tons could previously ride at anchor, the disturbance had left Burin coastal waters too shallow for navigation. Telling of the disaster, Mr. Bartlett said that cries for help came through the dark when the wave struck. Rescuers from the Daisy searched the houses riding on the seas on Burin Inlet but found no survivors. In the upper room of one house a light continued to burn spectral in the darkness as it floated over the water. Erpm one, .of these floating houses Mrs. Vincent Kelly of ejly8.,Cave rjpfjjued two of her children and then went, ba aes-perate effort to save the third.

PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., SATURDAY, NOV. 23, 1929 PRICE FIVE CENTS 1 j "If a local inspector were appointed to carry out the provisions of Federal and Provincial vegetable and fruit inspection acts, the source of complaints that are frequently heard in Prince Rupert as to poor grade of produce from the central interior districts could De practically elimin ated," declares H. L. Frank, pioneer Terrace rancher, who was a visitor in the city today. This is Mr. Frank's answer to the demand that has been issued in Prince Rupert for improved quality of produce from' the interior. Both federal and pro vincial statutes provide ior ine making of these Inspections, Mr. Frank points out. He explains that the Dominion act requires that 5 must be the Tffi S wv Very limit of ;,ni,hi, unsalable nr or ..nrirrstze underside Droduce. as far as notatoes are con cerned, while the Provincial Fruit Act has similar provisions. Sta tutes also require that the producer must put his name and address on every container of his produce he sells. It is then up to the consumer to make complaint If the quality of the produce Is not In accordance with the act. As a result of these complaints, fines may be Imposed upon the producers if the produce is found to be not up to quality. As matters now stand here, Mr. Frank points out. there Is no en couragement for the farmer who Is shipping produce of the required quality and grade. "I, myself, have been shipping produce complying with the act for ten or fifteen years and I am getting no oetter price ior my produce than Is the farmer who ships poor goods." It is Mr. Frank's suggestion that the city council might take the matter up with a view to having an GERMANS IN RUSSIA RIOT Citizens of the Fatherland Deprive of Lands May Come To Canada RIOA.
