Norman Watt Dismissed by Minister of Finance for Political Activity Hon.' W. C. Shelly, minister of finance, called at the Court House yesterday afternoon and personally notified the government agent, Norman A. Watt, of his dismissal from the provincial government service, effective June 1, on the alleged grounds of having been active in politics. Mr. Watt, who served three years overseas and was badly wounded at Cambrai, became government agent here on October 1, 1921. Apart from the bald statement that the grounds for his dismissal as alleged were wholly untrue, Mr. Watt declined last night, in conversation with a representative of The Daily News, to further discuss the subject. It is announced that a group of local Conservatives will meet Mr. Shelly on his return here this evening and will try to induce him to reconsider his ARTICLES ON PEACE RIVER HJVDI 3 "u The Peco River is very mucii In the public eye today.

Clemens andDr.Lupy , Clemens, experts in fis,h(inefernatters, ina ienot-t to JlqnJ S. L. Howe,, commissioner1 of fisheries fdr the proving of British Columbia, state that they expect a good sockeye rurt' pn the Skeeha River this year Hsir calciilatioiis are based on information in regard to seeding, and on previous ! u-i7cx icntc, ivmi eApecuaiion Demgsec at i4U,uuu cases. ; The Naas expectation is poor, the catch there having ; Deem noticeably declining or re-. cent years. The report on these two r.vers follows: "The run of 1929 will be derived from the seedlings of 1924 and ; 2926. In 1924 the pack consisted of 146,747 cases, and the samplings , of fish taken in that year snowed i that the five-year-old fish made up '75 per cent of the run. The re-jpoPvS from the spawning bed in-, spec lions art both Lakelse and Ba-bin Lakes stated that large numbers of sockeye reached the streams, and in general the runs twere exceptionally good The prospect of a torge return of five-)ear-od fish in 1929 should therefore be good. ' 'In 1926 the pack amounted to 70,784 cases and the run was made up of 53 per cent of four-: year-old fish. The spawning j beds were reported m having been very well seeded. In view of these facts it would seem that a large run, possibly producing a pack in the neighborhood of 140,000 caees, may be expected." Naas River Drs. Clemens make no forecast for the erratic Naas River. Tvbay call attention to the fact that tlie 1928 pack of sockeye wtos the smallest on record only 5540 cases and state that: ''Although the certainty of an unmistakable decline in the run of sockeye to the Naas has impressed itself during tho past few years, up to the present time it has not been necessary to face the possibility f eomplete failure in the near future. While predictions and exiwctancy in the Naas run are in general unreliable, one cannot conceive of any condition which could produce in 1933 anything but an exceedingly small run. registrar general of Manitoba, ' "Unless the taking of sockeye In pioneer of the provinee, dtfd last j the Naas River is prohibited in tho night. . jycar 19M, we can look for nothing jit!" but complete anlhilatton of the i run which occurs inhe five-year cycle, 1923-1928-1933-1938."
