The Bella Co6éla Courier con- tinues a weekly criticism of the administration of the Pro- vineial road work under Wil- liam Manson, M. P. Bella Coola Valley was always a stronghold of William Manson's, but when he appeared at a public meet- ing there a few weeks ago to oe defend his policy many of i his erstwhile friends openly ri showed antagonism. The Courier claims thousands of dollars have been wasted on useless work while roads greatly needed remain unbuilt. Seniblasiienatnesintel{ )attemeoeeesnantint WHEN THE WHALE DISAPPEARS. Elsewhere in this found an article attle propounding the theory that the killing off of the whales in the waters along the Alaskan coast ruining the herring industry, just as a similar condition did, in Nor- way. The argument is that as the whales no longer chase the herring into the shallow waters and consequently herring do not school in the small bays until they are ready to spawn, at which time they are useless issue wil! be from Se- is a for food. Fait The theory is not greatly credited here, where there is one of the best herring banks aciggae Thursday, Nov. 27, é in the north, There were very few whale here jast-winter, yet | tremendous schools of herring | were found in the harbor through the season and big catches were made. There is also a theory talked of among the fishermen that the disappearance of the whale will ruin the salmon runs, The claim in this instance that the whale stirs up the deposits on the bottom of the sea and the salmon, who unable to zo to the bottom, follows the whale and feeds upon the driftings. There no scien- tific data to back up this theory, but it nevertheless, being peddled by some publie men in- terested in the fish business. Killing off the North ‘Pacific whale as now being done will undoubtedly disturb the domestic economy of the deni- zens of the deep, but there is Is Is is is, is no tangible evidence to show that it will effect either the herring or the salmon. ne a The discovery of Hon. George BE. Foster that. Canada might develop a big trade in flour with the Orient is not a new idea. Earl Grey propounded the same scheme in Prince Rupert over four years ago and intimated that this city would be the great port of trans- shipment. The Hon. Foster thinks a different kind of flour will have to be made to suit the Oriental taste. That may be but the Japanese and Chinese in this country take very kindly to the standard white flour, while the Hindus use the whole wheat flour and seem to like it.

According to statements made in a Seattle newspaper, as a re- sult of interviews with prominent Seattle men interested in the fisheries industry death is cer- tain for the herring and halibut industries of Alaska if whaling operations are continued in the north, “The greatest season in the history of Alaska whaling was recently brought to a close,” says the report. “In the history of the world’s whaling there have been perhaps few successful and only one company was in opera- tion with three small whaling craft and a station at Port Arm- strong, Southeastern Alaska. It is now claimed that as a result prospects are that the herring in- dustry for 1913 will be & miser- able failure. Herring men de- clare what promised to grow into one of the most valuable of all Alaska’s industries last year has dwindled to almost nothing through the record § killing of whales during the past summer. At first they thought the herring were just a little late in running. Now, they say, it is practically certain that there won't be a run. “Norway faced just such a problem a number of years back. Year by year its fishing industry dwindled until finally it reached the stage at which it is claimed the Alaska herring industry so is OLD BILL MINER'S TEN COMMANDMENTS “Never Take What Belongs to Another Man; Rob Only Corporations” It was the boast of Bill Miner, the New York correspondent of the Telegraph that long spectacular carreer that he never the train robber, says, throughout his did a “really dishonorable thing” —that to say, dishonorable according to the strange code of the outlaws with whom for over 50 years he had been intimately associated in the Far West. He specialized on express trains, holding them up at times single- handed. Among the ten * commandants he obeyed was one which said “Never take what belongs to an- other man; rob only corpera- tions.’ Others were ‘Never fail to help a woman;” “Keep every man’s goodwill; and ‘Give a fel- low money when he needs it;” “Never say a bad thing about a man when you can say a good one; Don’t squeal.’ He devoted haif his time to robbing and half to recreation. There was ae time, twenty years ago, when he maintained a swell house in New York, with English servants, and when he spent the fashionable season in London, living in the best hotels and dining in’ the most luxur- ious restaurants. His great weak ness, which finally led to his downfall, was strong drink. “If TI had only been a teetotaller,” he lamented, “I might have been a leading politician.” is INFORMATION WANTED Any person having seen cr heard anything of Fred Hucker, please send information to Ann Hucker, Ketchikan, Alaska, Box 73.

An investigation was made by the Norwegian government and to whaling was attributed the loss of what had once been one of the most valuable of Norway's industries. Whaling, thereafter, was prohibited and today Nor- way's fishing industry again flourishing. “The Norway investigators re- ported that the whale, when feeding, drives the herring and other small fish of this class into is shallow waters, where they are followed by the larger inshore fish, such as the cod, salmon, halibut and other such. It was claimed that the herring, with the the whales killed off, only came into the small bays and fjords of Norway during the spawning sea- son, When they are nearly worth- less. “Speaking of the situation, Mr. H. W. Starrett, one of those in- terested in the protest of the fishermen, said: ‘Stringent meas- ures should immediately be taken to put a stop to whaling in Alaska. Norway found such a move neces- sary, and now it has become a choice with us between whaling and the combined herring and halibut industries, one the bene- factors of thousands, the other of benefit to only those same Nor- wegians who were driven from their own country and have taken up operations in Alaska.” Prince Rupert’s Progress. Nothing could better exemplify the ‘growing importance of this port than the increased number of travellers that pass through by boat and train. The traffic on the G. T. P. boats is by far in ad- vance of other years. As for the train passengers one wonders what so many men could possibly be doing in the country consider- ing that the road only extends a few hundred miles. The service both ways seems to be used to its full capacity. * * > Another sign of the rapid pro- gress that is being made in put- ting this town into shape for its great destiny the removal of many of the old landmarks. This time it is the late G. T. P. office building, formerly the Kelly- Carruthers store, that is doomed, The building is already partially wrecked and will soon be removed to make room for plans in con- nection with the new hotel, . is . * The excavation for the new G, T. P. Hotel is being rushed along. A gang of men employed in stripping the surface of all mus- keg and this will soon be accom- plished. After that there will be a small amount of rock work. Before spring the site should be in shape for the commencement of that magnificent structure. is EEE GUARANTEED BY THE GOVERNMENT of CANADA ‘ i HORSES FOR CHISANA Freighting Line Went Into Oper- ation on Monday Vancouver, Nov. 25,.—Another ishipraent of horses for the new HERRING MEN DECLARE INDUSTRY HAS DWINDLED TO NOTH- silage line to be operated during ING THROUGH RECORD KILLING OF WHALES DURING PAST SUMMER. the coming winter, between White Horse and the Chisana gold diggings, by the White Pass and Yukon route, were sent north last night, together with a quan. tity of freight for Dawson and other Yukon points.
