WANT SEASON TO

BE EXTENDED

Fraser River Salmon Fishers
Complain of the Poorness of
the Season's Catch.

 

 

(Canadian Press Despatch)

New Westminster, Aug. 2.—Ask-
ing that the close season for sock-
eye salmon be raised from August
25 to September 15, so that fishing
may go on, a deputation of fisher-
men here have requested Reeve
Weart to take up the question
with Chief Inspector Cunningham
and the Dominion government.
It is necessary for an order in
council to be passed so that the
season may be extended, therefore
immediate action is imperative.

The big run of sockeyes which
has been expected stili holds back.

Favorable reports dave come
from the mouth of the river, a
number of fish having been taken.
Sockeyes are still priced at 35
cents each.

 

SOLD FOR $3,000

 

Steamer Santa Resa to be Dis-
mantled and Salved
(Canadian Press Despatch)

Los Angeles, Aug. 3.—The wrec-
ked steamship Santa Rosa has been
purchased by R. W. Borbaley, of
Los Angeles for the sum of $3000
cash. The purchaser has under-
taken to salve the cargo on a thirty
per cent basis. The payment
of the $3000, which is in reality
for the hull enly, is contingent
upon the amount of salvage se-
cured.

In order to facilitate the salving
of the vessel, a trestle will be built
out to the wreck, which lies in a
position just off the shore line.

 

THINK PRICE TOO HIGH
Winnipeg Press Objections to

the Street Railway Purchase

Scheme.

Winnipeg, Aug. 3.—The propo-
sition to buy the street railway
company for $24,000,000 is re-
ceived in rather a hostile manner
by all three of the Winnipeg daily
papers.

They express the suspicion that
rates on transportation, power,
light, and heat cannot be reduced
if such a large sum is paid for the
allied plants. They want’ the
company’s books audited by a
civic expert as a preliminary to
any negotiations.

ISLAND AT STAKE

 

Claims that Anticosti Does not
Belongto Henri Menier

 

Montreal, Aug. 2.—An action
for the recovery of such an enor-
mous sum as $40,000,000 is but
seldom heard of, but that is the
amount that will shortly be the
subject of a claim which is to be
made in the Quebec courts. The
action will be against Henri Me-
nier, the chocolate manufacturer
of Paris. Mr. Menier is the re-
puted owner of the island of
Anticosti.

It is claimed on behalf of the
Lemieux family that they are the
real owners of the island of Anti-
costi. Mr. Menier purchased the
island from a man named Parent,
now dead, but it is stated that
he did so at his own risk, and that
no clear legal title was ever ac-
quired by him. It-is claimed by
the attorney for the plaintiffs
that they possess the titles, which
are all in order and ready to be
produced in court.

MILLENIUM COMING
Will be Here About the Time
the Line is Through
Four years hence, in 1815, the
kingdoms of this world are to be
shattered, according to Mr. A. I.
Ritchie, who addressed a conven-
tion in Toronto recently. The
speaker dealt with the significance
of the “seventh day of rest,”
which is mentioned in Genesis,
from the chronological viewpoint.
“History,’’ he said, “‘both Biblical
and secular, tends to show that the
actual length of the ‘seventh day’
referred to in the Bible is 7,000
years, and that of these close on
6,000 have passed. Thus the
world is now rapidly approaching

the millenium.

HELPLESS ABOVE
NIAGARA FALLS

Terrible Plight of Motor Boat

Party Whose Engine Broke
Down in the Dark.

 

(Canadian Press Despatch)

Welland, Aug. 3.—A_ terrible
tragedy was narrowly avoided las:
night. Two young men and two
young women from Niagara Falls,
N. Y., were in Niagara River
above the falls in a motor boat
when the engine refused to work.
Unable to locate themselves, they
paddled around in the darkness,
fimally getting into the forebay of
the Ontario Power Company, but
with no idea of their location.
They had a wonderful escape from
going over the falls.

The United States Government
has on several occasions in recent
years issued commemoration coins
celebrating notable events in the
history of the country. These are
offered for sale at a premium and
the profits go to help the funds
of the Exposition or celebration
in connection with which they are
issued. In connection with the
Chicago’ Worlds Fair in 1892
there were issued Columbian half
dollars and quarter dollars in
silver. The former bears the por-
trait of Christpher Columbus and
now sells for about 75 cents. The
latter bears the portrait of Queen
Isabella of Spain who befriended
Columbus. This is the only United
States coin which bears the pvr-
trait of a foreign monarch. These
coins sold on the World’s Fair
Grounds for a dollar, but they
may now be bought for 75 cents.
In 1900 the Lafayette silver dollar
was issued bearing the busts of
Washington and Lafayette. On
the reverse is an equestrian statue
of Lafayette. This coin sells for
about $2.00 or over. The St.
Louis) World’s Fiar 1904
commemorated by a gold dollar
bearing the busts of Jefferson and
McKinley— it sells for about $3.00.
