Amendment to the Fishery regulations as proposed by the government occupied a good deal of the convention's afternoon meeting. An open door policy for the fishermen as well as the fish-packers was strongly insisted upon. The convention heartily endorsed the efforts being made on the part of salmon fishermen on different parts of the coast to market their I own product.

INGENUITY IN FLYING Pilot Dorbrandt Dropped Stones to Ascertain If Lightly Frozen Lakes Could Be Landed on Considerable ingenuity is reported to have been used by Pilot Frank Dothrandt In his recent search in tht Atlin district for Captain E.

He used this plan when making a forced landing on the night when he ran out of gas on his return from Liard River Post to Atlin. It was dark and all he could see was a light in an Indian cabin and a grey streak -which he took to be water or ice. He was not sure whether the rocks had gone through the ice or not, but the plane stayed on top when he landed. It is evident that flying in Northern British Columbia is a very haaardous business at this time of year when the winter freece-up is starting.. It is quite possible that the missing aviator might have met disaster tjy plunging through the ice of a lightly frozen lake when essaying a landing.

City Gets Only $16,250 From Governments For Relief Work Which Will Not Help Very Much At a special meeting of the city council last night it was decided to enter into an agreement with the provincial government to undertake relief work in the city at a cost of not less than $32,500, of which half the cost will be paid by the city and the other half by the federal and provincial governments. This sum of $16,250 is all the city can get from the governments for its reliefs . .. work and It will not go very far ,f ' uv,u ., th. v,i, k although it wlir be better than nothing. It means that only the bona fide residents f the city will be able to get relief. The city asked the governments for $45,000 as Its share, the city : .

The city council k still planning to the do the work on Eleventh Av- enue and the engineer will make a recommendaUon as to how much construction should be Included in fa meeting of the c(wncl next Tu night. It wUl take befofe peop,e m lty with the municipal law so that It wUl be more than two weeks be- fore relie work cn be got under way and even then It depends upon tne vte ' the ratepayers Tne olty had under consideration the building of the road from Sixth Avenue bridge to the fishermen's floats but so far the agreement for the right-of-way with the railroad company has not been signed and even If the work should be done, only a few men could be employed on it at one time. The whole cost of this would be about $16,000 so that other work would also have to be done to make up the required amount. In view of this the city council was unanimously in favor of the Eleventh Avenue work as being the piece tfiwork that could be handled, .most, suitably or relief purposes. Most of the property abutting on the work to be done is owned by the city and construction will have to be done under a general bylaw at some time even If It Is not done now. Under local improvement, the city would still have to pay most of the cost as owners of the lots. For several reasons It was impossible to make a final decision ln the matter last night so adjournment was taken until all Information in regard to the work could be obtained, Missing Seaplane Was Very Close Here Just in Be fore Engine of Lost Ship Missing River Rescue Plane Is Out On Quest Again Today Word that a seaplane, presumably that of Robin Rena- han, had been seen by natives nel at Salmon River, about seven miles below Watson Rock and some twenty-five miles south of here, shortly after six o clock last Tuesday evening, and a fruitless all-day search north and south of iann were the latest developments yesterday afternoon in the quest for the Alaska-Washington Airways j moi ana iwo companions wno, have been missing for ten days on a flight from Vancouver to Atlin.

I think it will be generally conceded, however, that the prepon-dering factor in this by-election was the argument that North Vancouver snouw not pcer itself ln opposition to both the Dominion and provincial governments.
