He insisted on reading every one and is answering each with a personal note, aHwhigh half of theni Saturday, January 25. 1830 SALMON FISHING The salmon fishermen and canners are having a controversy over the method of conservation. Briefly, the fishermen say they want the open door policy, giving every man a right to fish if he so wishes as now in force under the federal regulations with the provision that if too many operate in any one area the number of hours to the week be reduced. On the recommendation of the canners the Provincial Government has promulgated a set of regulations provMinjr a definite number of nets to each, cannery This is a problem for the fishermen and cannprs to wrestle with. The canners undoubtedly should have some protection, for it might easily be that if the fishermen united they could close up any cannery they wished by refusing to sell it fish. On the other hand, the fishermen should be fully protected, but how this is to be done will be for the rival interests to work out among themselves. PORCHER ISLAND MINE It now looks as if there might be a real mine on Porcher Island at Surf Point, not far from Prince Rupert Work has been proceeding there steadily for several years and little has beerf said about it. Noah Timmins, the famous eastern mining man, is interested in the property and yes terday we were able to announce the nurchase bv them of the Surf Inlet mining equipment which is to be moved to Porcher Island, This would not be done if the prospects were not good, It will be a great thing for prince Rupert if a real mine k developed at the island. THE IMMORTAL 3IEMORY Today is the anniversary of Scotland's immortal bard, Robert Burns. It is a day which Scotsmen the world over honor,Prinee Rupert being no exception to the rule. It is fitting that his memory should be kept green. While some of his efforts are even yet criticized, it is true that he contributed many poetical gems to the literature of the world. That is the thing that Scots will ever remember and it is well that they should. The famous Robert Burns was born on this day in 1759. He startled the world in 17S6 with a little book which proclaimed him a true poet. In his brief career, particularly during the last five years during which he farmed at Dumfries, he poured forth song after song of emotional tenderness and made himself immortal. Death claimed him at the age of thirty-seven in 1796. TRUSTEE ELECTION Today vre are advertising the election of a trustee to fill the position vacated recently by Mr. Gilchrist. It is to be hoped that some suitable person will offer for the position. It would be a slur of the public spirit of the community if the trustees had to make the appointment sub-J ject to tne approval ot the minister of education. STRONG PROTEST We have a strong protest from Queen Charlotte Islands against the manner in which the fisheries inspector was chosen at that place. The letter is a very interesting one and it flays the federal government rather severely. It ciaims mat tne appointee is practically a newcomer and has had n experience at the work, whereas the person recommended by the fishermen and residents was turned down. As a matter of policy we cannot publish a letter which deals w ith personal matters of that kiad. We recognize 'the bmy of the man recommend a1 would like to have seen him get the position but emrid not ponsibly give the detail which the letter contains.' If the department is wrong in this matter we hope the people there will make their protest very strong. folks who had shaken his hand onl campaign tours, mayors who had entertained him, chambers of commerce which had been his luncheon hosts. He had no notion that any but close friends and relatives would remember his birthday, and was quite surprised, on emerging from hisTlfth Avenue apartment at the usual morning hour to go to his office, to find several reporters waiting ln front for a word.

R. W. Cameron, chairman of the executive committee, was hot present so there was no report from that committee. Speaking to the financial report, Mr. Tinker pointed out that, Since total hospital days during the year had been considerably Increased, there had been correspondingly larger grants frorn, the city and government. X-ray fees collected during the year, amounting to $1,280.60, showed an in. crease of 80 over the year previous. Mr. Tinker felt It was. his duty' to express' lee?n appreciation for the work of Miss Harrison, lady superintendent, and members of the nursing staff. Numerous testimonials as to the excellent ser vice that wa being given ln the hospital had been received. The same remarks might apply to H. W.' Birch, the managing secretary. The entire staff was deserving of congratulation.

Lodge Valhalla Affair Success Large Crowd Attended, Whist nrive and Dance Last Night in Metropole Hall A successful whist drive and dance was held by Lodge Valhalla last night in the Metropole Hall. There were 20 tables of whist and the prize winners were: ladies' first, Mrs. A. Ivarson; second, Miss Ounborg Pearson; consolation, Mrs. Essen; men's first, Andrew Sund; second, George Fritz; consolation, P. Prltchard. Dancing followed the playing of cards and the affair kept up until 3 am. with about 150 persons ln attendance. Between dances, Mrs. Jarvis McLeod sang several songs which were much appreciated. K. Hallberg was master of ceremonies and Ralph Johnson presided at the door. Music was by Hanson and Farstad's orchestra. Delicious refreshments were served. The committee responsible for the success of the affair consisted of Mrs. O. A. Johnson. Mrs. George Fritz, and Mrs. K. Hallberg, assisted by lodge members.

Under the table used this past year, a horse could race for jrnall purses and win often without much of a change ln classification. Next year Up to the 2.18 class, the, move will be quicker and more equitable. Under the new order, a horse will be eligible to the 2.30 class until it wins $5(1; 2.29. $100; 228, $200; 227, $300; 2.26, $400: 225. $500; 2.24, $600; 223, $700; 2.22, $800; 221, $900; 220. $1000; 2.19, $1500; 2.18. $2000, 2.17, $2500; and 2.16. $3000. The list for the fastest classes remains unchanged. The new tables should work out to the advantage of the tracks giving the smaller purses and to owners of all except a very few horses campaigning over them.
