The cod in particular is. sensitive to the dis tant: approach of his most deadly entmy and one single porpoise in the, vicinity will drive thousands of cod to more distant feeding grounds within a few minutes, At Thunder River, for example, the Labrador Fisheries Co, Ltd, had built up a large and growing business. About 40 beats were in the village fleet and these were owned by their operators. The men also Owned their homes and wete quite comfortable. Their fish was scientifically prepared and shipped as far west as Toronto, . The first porpdise invaded this H z ground in 1926 and the catch i ately diminished. In 1927 it paid but scanty attentiga to thatim- mediate locality, Last year por. poise attacked ip large numbers and 'practically drove all fish away. To theet this the government and the parent company brought in heavy rifles and equipped unters with dum dum or explosive bullets. Some of these tore holes as large as sau- 3 eshy parts of the purpoise without killing them, but as a rule dum dum shell reduced the speed fish to much raw oil and bad odor. Meantime edible fish had gone and the residents, unable to make eén- sh, and ; : ough money at parpoise hunting, had to-follow them. The chase carried the fishermen to the tip of Anticoss ti and here good fishing was encoun tered again.

CUT RATE WAR N JAPAN SILK TRADE Steamship Lines Are in Competition (By Percy Whiteing, Canaciun Press Staff Correspondent) Tokio, Aug. 21.--The Japanese silk and especially raw silk carry- ing trade which has for many years been one of the most important items of cargo for steamships ply- ing to Canadian Pacific ports snd thence across Canada by rail to the tills in the United States is now in a peculiar position. The immediate dificult situation has been brought about by a rate war provided by various Japanese ed boat owners, especially the waska! Line, operating betwesn Yokohama, and Seattle and other Pacific coast ports. This line, which is not a member of the trans-Pacific freight confer< ence, has béén cutting rates to such an extept that recently the Cana- the vast area.

Twenty-five years ago a large portion of the silk trade was in the hands of foreign merchants of Yo- kohama, but year by year the Jap- anese companies have been secur- ing a practical monopoly. Amon these the great firm of Mitsui an Company ships a great deal of its silk by its own vessels, In former times silk cargo de- pended entirely on rapid transit by steamer and rail from Yokohama to New York and ig this connec- tion the Capadian Pacific Railway held and still holds the pre-eminent position.
