Mostly this is due to the spelling of Indian names, but also it grows out of the collision between the names of stations and post offices or villages and schools. Take the example of Terrace . The incorporated village is Terrace, the school is Kitsum Kfi-!um, the river Kitsumkalum and the lake which it drains is usually spoken of as Kalum Lake, while the word Kit-sumgallum seems to be interchangeable with any of the others. Now, forgetting the historical significance of these matters and dealing with them from a Utility standpoint, we have the following suggestions to make: Have the name of the school changed to Terrace. Call the river Kitsumkalum. Rename the 'ake Kalum Lake. We suggest this action to the Terrace Board of Trade and village council and shall use those names in this paper until it is officially decided otherwise. Everyone knows Terrace, which is a suitable name based on the natural terraces which are so picturesque at the interior village . Usage has named the Lake Kalum and the river might well perpetuate the o'd Indian name. It seems to vary on the different maps between Kitsumkalum and KUsumral-lum. The jdeparnent pi . ;edUqa(jipn is already uHng.Hha name Terrace in crjnnectibn'With school aupoinUneite'and other matters and the official name udtbe"corrected at once. In a news article todav " p KvcRiified ''Kitsumkalum," which is correct, instead of "Terrace." which is incorrect, and as a result most of the, readers of this paper will wonder where the place is. If wd said "Terrace" they would know immediately. '' NATIONAL VIEWPORT1 ' Fred Kergin when discussing univerityjlfe v before the Rotary Club on Thursday spoke vpf getting: the national viewpoint in place of the home town viewpoint; He intent even have carried it further and mentioned the desirability of getting a world viewpoint in place of a purely na tional viewpoint. Insularity is one of the things we have to f jgljt atfiIinB,$ in Prince Rupert. We are to some extent cut off from the rest of the world and we are ant to get restricted in our outlook. We see nothing much beyond our own home town. While the local newspapers try their best to give a smatterincr of wor'd news, the possibilities along this line are limited. We meet chiefly our near neighbors and seldom discuss auestions of more than local interest. Then when we get a spell of inclement weather we tend to become morose and self centred . To overcome this we suggest a course of wide reading, inchiding Canadian. British and American neriodicalf . A rad'o is also a means of keeDi'ng in touch with the outside, particularly in musica' matters. Studv clubs, reading clubs and similar grouns are very useful . They are a great improvement on bridge clubs. Freauent visits to the outside and the hearing of addresses by prominent people such as those fostered by the Women's Canadian Club have a eood effect. A P'pf? Runort develops she will tend to become more national in her interests and the matter will right itself. Politics is largely a matter of oratorv and sentiment Fliminate both and only business remains. put up fall varieties. Though this is the first season it has been in operation, the Humpback Bay cannery already has a very satisfactory pack. TIIE DAILY NEWS Saturday, August 21, 19 !0 Waterfront Whiffs Halibut Landings Away in Excess of Last Year With Canadian Also Ahead Now ; New Cold Storage ' Plant; New Facilitfcs at Digby Island Halibut landings at the port of Prince Rupert for the 1929 season to date are now well over one million pounds in excess of the record for 1928, this year's! landings now aggregating 19,011,350 pounds, aa( compared with last year's 17,815,800 pounds at a similar date. The increase is mainly due to greater volume of American landings, which now amount to a total of 13,259,500 pounds, as against last year's 12,169,400 pounds . After lagging be- uuiu lyrtiiduiau ittiiuuign, uuncvci, have also jumped ahead to a total of 5,751,850 pounds, as compared with 5,674,400 pounds.

P. Babcock) Halibut mature in their eleventh year, though a small percentage haa been recorded at eight. Hal ibut of forty )'par,c.f!,?KG haye been recorded. The growth of the halibut is slow, and they grow, faster on southern banks than. on the more northerly. On the Mas- sett banks fish nine years old have length of seventy centimetres, while the seventy centimetre length fish on Shumagin banks are in their eleventh year. There is also a great difference, in tho weight attained by the females and the maids. Females weighing upward of 400 pounds have been taken. From 100 pounds upwards the fishermen term the feu.ales "whales." The largest females produce as many as 5,000,-000 eggs. The mature males are much smaller than the females. They do not atta'n a weight much over eighty pounds even at thirty years of age. The study of racial cnaracter- istxs lias been most productive. I The fish taken from some banks can be dislincUy recogniied as eharacte-istics of that section. There is a difference in head, length, body, width. In the Gulf of Alaska the fish on the Yakutat banlts show an affinity wlh those on the Shamagin; and those on the rrimLered- Island banks, in south eastern Alaska, with those on the Jlassat bankr. in British Columbia. It is evident that each bank has its 6wn average, rate of growth. When it is rememlered that this rate of g owth is the net result of ; between eight and eleven yearn of' life, during which extensive wan derings mk'ht have been under taken by each fish, the difference ;roves that the individual fish must have remained more or less under the particular types of environment to produce such differ ences. The difference in the rates of growth On various banks Is eon- irmetf by other racial study and by tagging.
