Mrs. van Wyk's father, Lude-vick van Rensburg, trekked from the Cape before the Great Trek of 1838 started, and set-ltde at Magaliesburg, In the Northern Transvaal where she was born. The family then moved to Bloemfontein, from there to Ladybrand, also in the Orange Free State, and at the time of the Basuto Wars to Flicksburg, where there were then only three houses. When she was a child of 10 living at Ladybrand, the Basuto chief, Moshesh, came to the house and demanded entry and food for his followers. Fearing for their lives, the family ad- Imitted him, and Mus. van Wyk. and her mother waited on the chiefs. When Moshesh left he 'carried off all her fatlier's ! cattle. On another occasion Mrs. van Wyk fled from the Basutos, taking a child with her to the banks of the Modder River, where she hid in a cave, filling the opening with rocks and stones. She remembers President-Paul Krug-er, President Steyn, General de Wet and President Brand. Seven of her children arc still alive. At present five genera-i ! tions of the family are living. All her family records were ; lost in a fire during the South 'African war, but she still pre-j serves a very tattered Bible, es-! timated to be 300 years old, I which she can still read, and I which she says is to be buried with her. She is still remarkably active, and her grandchildren say that she climbed Stafford Hill (a koppie adjoining the town) when they refused to accompany her. SOLVE IRRIGATION PROBLEM NEW DELHI 0L. C. Roye, Punjabi engineer, claims to have solved the irrigation problem of certain tracts in India where no canal can be constructed. He has demonstrated the use of a "wind motor" which can work even in a wind velocity of five miles an hour and, if fixed to a well, can give a discharge of water equal to that ofHwo Persian wheels at a maintenance cost of less than a dollar a month.

W Waterfront Whiffs Record Halibut Landings Novel Publicity Stunt New Engine for "Full Moon" 60c; 7 The four-day interval since midnight on Tuesday when Area Two was closed to halibut fishing has seen almost a million pounds of halibut added to regular boat landing at Prince .Rupert, bringing the total for the -12-day season to the record figure of 9,437,000 pounds. Never since quotas were put on by the In ternational Fisheries Commis sion has such a catch been landed at this port. It is interesting to note that this year's landings at Prince Rupert c:.ie laregly from Canadian boats. American landings constituted a much lower percentage of the total catch this year than ever before. Out of the 0.437,000 pounds brought here from the regular halibut' fleet, 8,037,500 pounds came from Canadian vessels, while 1.423 500 was landed from American boats. Bulk of the American-caught fish was landed at the Alaska I norts for transport by packer to 5-aMIe. or else shipped to Prince Rupert by packer for freealng or for rail shipment to the United States market. Thousands of pounds of American fish passed over the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage Co. wharf in this way. A 200,000 pound shipment arrived here from Ketchikan on Friday by packer for that purpose. Fish handled that way. however, was not Included In the halibut landings here. The Prince Rupert Junior Chamber of Commerce is taking advantage of an opportunity for a novel type of publicity at th? national conference of the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Canada convention to be held in Edmonton next week. Belns shipped to the Alberta caDitall in charge of Pres'dent Cliff Ham. who is the local delegate, are 200 pounds of fresh halibut', which will constitute the piece de resistance at avsnecial banquet at the Macdonald Hotel. This, however. Is not all. Also going east are two cases of specially packed salmon in tiny cans with special labels which will be placed as Tuest markers and souvenirs at the banquet table. The tiny tins of salmon were Specially packed for the occasion by B. C. Packers, and arrived irj Prince Rupert on the Cardena on Friday. The idea of a SDecial Prince Rupert dinner was conceived by Gordon Durk'n. a member of the local Junior Chamber, and was viewed with considerable warmth by both the membershm and the management of the Macdonald Hotel. Pr?sident Ham, who left the citv today bv car for Burns Like after which he will continue by train to Edmonton, promises that he will wring the final ounce of publicity value out of the banquet. The canned salmon novelty was arranged by the Prince Rupert publicity council, and the labels printed locally.
