Sir Henry Thornton and President Beatty both recognize it and the politicians know it and say they know it. All that k needed stew is to see that advantage is taken i of the situation and that the fact be impressed so thoroughly that it may be generally recognized and the port utilized. Now that the New Year resolutions are pretty much at! forgotten we are once more hack to normal. HALIBUT FLEET AWAY The haMbut fleet is away once more and in a few days will be returning bringing their catches to this port. Much will depend on the condition of the weather as to the catches they make and to the prices paid as to whether the fishermen do well or not. We wish them every success and hope they will make money this year. Sledge hammers are all right but not for driving tacks. OLD OMAR'S POEM The popularity of the Rubaiyat translated from the Arabic is due very largely to the splendid translation of Fitzgerald,. The book has been printed in 144 editions in Britain, 90 in the United States and there have been English editions printed in other countries. And yet the English poet who did the work, is reported to have said: "I hardly know why I print these things which nobody buys." That was away back in 1859. Gradually the beauty of ttie verses has sunk into the consciousness of the race and today th poem based on the original by Omar Khayyam are as well known to many people as the Bible. An editor is always flattered when he sees his published idea adopted later by someone as his own. yOUR BOUILLON, MADAM !
