It was a good thing to have that statement in the legislature in reply to queries by the local member. If in two or three years we are able to drive to Skeena City we shall riot have much cause for complaint even though many people expected that they would reach Terrace by that time. It seems that northern members had their innings when the minister had his estimates for northern ridings before the committee of the whole house.

Even this early in the season this is in I dicated. What herring there are in Alaska this year are so I small that many of the boats have refused to take them, choosing instead to make the run to Prince Rupert for 1 me oau oi superior quality, some; see in the Alaska situation this year the results of over-flshlng for her- in these quarters it Is prophesied that there may be no improvement for many years. Others take it, however, as being merely a peculiar year. Shotttd it tarn out to be an actual depletion of Alaskan herring, it would mean that in future yen greater bait store would have to be put up at Prince Rupert to take eare of the requirements of the Atnerican as well as. the Canadian .fleet. , Capt.
