If

CONGRATULATIONS

PRESIDENT
Prince
Rupert
is
great'y
honored
by
the
fact
that
the
Canadian
Fisheries
Association
has
chosen
T.
H.
Johnson,
manager
of
the
Canadian
Fish
&
Cold
Storage
Company,
to
be
their
president
during
the
coming
year.
Mr.
Johnson
is
well
fitted
for
the
position
and
will
doubtless
carry
on
the
work
of
the
association
with
dignity
and
efficiency
.
The

him

his

people
generally
will
join
us
in
doing
so.
PREMIER
TOLMIE
AND
THE
HIGHWAY
A
despatch
from
Victoria
yesterday
stated
that
Premier
To'mie
at
the
Conservative
picnic
at
Bowker's
Beach,
Victoria,
made
a
public
announcement
that
the
Government
was
looking
into
the
possibilities
of
linking
up
the
road
system
of
the
United
States
through
British
Columbia
with
Alaska.
We
are
glad
to
know
that
Dr.
Tolmie
is
interested
in
this
project,
but
there
seems
to
be
a
general
feeling
here
that
the
Provincial
Government
hesitated
a
long
time
before
making
any
announcement
about
the
highway
to
connect
Prince
Rupert
with
the
south,
but
seems
eager
to
help
our
American
friends
.
We
expect
to
see
Alaska
connected
with
the
south
"by
means
of
a
highway
at
no
very
distant
date,
but
the
first
thing
in
which
Prince
Rupert
itj
interested
is
in
having
a
highway
connecting
Princa
Rupert
with
the
ret
of
British
Coumbia.
It
is
much
more
important
than
the
Alaska
highway.
All
we
ask
is
for
first
things
first.
Give
us
a
highwav
here
and
we
shall
be
ready
to
back
the
Government
in
building
the
other,
but
we
refuse
absolutely
to
be
sidetracked
in
favor
of
the
more
spectacular
project.
THE
PROVINCIAL
SECRETARY
iVMfbaving
a
a
lengthy
visit
from
the
provincial
secretary
in
the
To'mie
administration,
Hon.
S.
Ii
Howe;
whp
is
also
commissioner
of
fisheries.
We
are
glad
(d
have
him
in
the
city
because
we
feel
that
the
better
we
are
known
and
our
potentialities
realized,
the
sooner

We
hope
Mr.
Howe
will
come
often
and
stay
as
long
ai
possible.
We
are
always
glad
to
welcome
a
minister'
of
the
crown
and

one
who
is
interested

in

Migration

Salmon
During

years
1925-26-27'
and
28,
the
various
species
have
been
tagged
along
the
British
Columbia
coast
as
funds
and
opportunity
have
permitted.
Five
kinds
of
spring
salmon
have
been
tagged
during
three
seasons
on
the
west
coast
of
Vancouver
Island
and
the
results
have
shown
that
approximately
CO
per
cent
of
the
fish
go
to
the
Columbia
Kiver.
A
considerable
number
turn
into
the
Strait
of
Juan

the
ma
jority
of
these
going
to
the
Fraser
River.
Two
tagged
fish
were
captured
in
the
Sacramento

California.
In

spring

the

have

and
