Hudson Bay, Sept. 9: 0; Huge cast iron vats filled with sand support the dock at this fur trade post on the .ast shore of Hudson bay. They aie the only memorial to the days when the hunt fcr whales flourish in this sub-Arctic region and rugsed sailing ships set out for England with barrels of whale oil in their holds. The capture of white whales, from 10 to 15 feet long, was simplicity itself in the days when the market was strong. From the post buildings h.agh over thj river the widi,uiie wuueis coum see scnuois oi wnaies maicn.g tneir way uj the stieam. After the big mammals passed the wnales suuug strong nets across the river ana when the whales came down again they weie trapped. Haroid linderganen, veteran ot the Hudson's way Company sv-d.ce, sam thai wnen the whales reached the net they always remained absolutely motionless for a tew moments. Then tney would run short of air and attempt to reach the surface, only to find they were entangled. Sme died by drowning 'but the majority were Killed by spearing or shooting.

Eighty years ago as many as 1,000 whales a month were taken. ' Even now white whales are ' no particular novelty and they sometimes provide a bit of pleasant : variety from seal meat for the Eskimos. i To capture the white' whale the 1 ingenious Eskimo developed his! own harpoon which is still used -ffectivelv by an ever-decreasing band of hunters. One trader said regretfully he had heard a band of young Eskimos wondering how their fathers and grandfathers managed to take se-ls and whales with harpoons.

Si.m kayaks sail bounce over rough seas but in front of the paddler in the cockpit is a high-powered rifle Instead of a harpoon. Excellent shots, the Eskimo quickly grasped the mechanics of the modern rifle, Just as he understood th ' .-) ncple of the internal combustion engine without much diff;ulr.y. Captain J. O. Nielsoh, skipper of the Fort Charles, said Esk'mos learned for thSnrelves that a rifle used for many yen rs tended to lose its ac curacy through the end of the barrel becoming bell-mouthed. Somewhere they obtained a hacksaw and patently sawed it until the "belled" part was removed. 'r fron' s)"ht was moved backward and the accuracy of the weapon restored.

IT f . . . i : .. f w 1 I Widening Seal Cove Artery The need of improvements tp the road leading to Seal Cove was ; stressed last night at the Trlnce Rupert Chamber of Commerce meeting by John Gurvich and, after considerable discussion it was 'referred to the Housing Commit tee for action. Mr. Gurvich said the condition of the road was poor and danger- ous. He feared that there might be an accident as the traffic was heavy and would be worse when the housing work got under way. He suggested that the clty was badly in need of proper construction machinery. It was necessary to spend about $50,000 on various apparatus in order to do good work. If tenders were called for reconstruction and widening ol the road now he felt sure It would not cost anything like the $70,000 estimated, by the city engineer. The people who were putting in jthe sewers for the new houses could handle it better than any- I A number of members spoke urging the need of the HOTEL ARRIVALS I'rince Rupert I J. Walmslcy and T.
