Yield, However, Varies According to the Run of Fish--The Multifarious | Sockeyes--Fish by the Million--An Almost Unbelievable Sight -- Mar- velous Instinct of the Salmon -- At a Cannery. While we are congratulating our- | selves upon the size of the Western ! harvest, we must not forget tha: Can- ada's wealth is not drawn exclusively | from the soil. The sea gives us a mighty contribution to our support. It is through the cod, the lobster, the mackerel, and the salmon that we de- rive the larger degree of profit. The yield from the fisheries, however, var- ies according to the run of fish, and especially is this the case as regards salmon. The Multia ous Sockeyes. One year in every four years the rivers of British Columbia are crowd- | ed with the luscious "sockeyes." For three years the visitors are few, but on the fourth the rush is so tremendous | as to be unbelievable by those who have not witnessed it. The pheno- menon is one of the curiosities of na- tural history. Indeed, there are many strange phases of this fishery puzzle. , The fish are hatched far up the riv- ers, and thence they find their way to the sea. How is it that these same fish return to the place of their birth? How does it happen that they can se- lect from among the many openings along the coast that which leads to the "old homestead"? ~ Where have they spent the period intervening be- tween their departure and their re- turn? No investigator has been able to discover their whereabouts in the ocean during their absence from home They are not seen; they are not caught; in fact, they are out of existence, so far as human knowledge of thelr habitat is concerned, from the time they leave 'the rivers until in vast numbers they reappear. How does it happen that ghey come quadrennially, like a Methodist conference, or a Pan- Presbyterian assembly? What knowl- edge have they of the passing of time, and of the proper period to place be- tween one event, the outward passage, and another, the return? Fish by the Millions. It is a marvelous instinct--that which impels the fish to move away and to return to the spot which they have left, four years after their emigra- tion. This year is the year of the great salmon run. From July 1, when fishing commenced, until the beginning of September the activity at the river mouths and in the canneries has been unprecedented, and the yield has been enormous. Of canned salmon the sup- ply will be very great. The business of catching the fish and of doing them down is one of the most interesting of the Western operations. In catching some six thousand men are employed The fishermen sail out to the mouth of the Fraser in what we should call mackinaws, akd spread their nets, sine of them of great length, across the likely routes. These nets are of the proper size to catch by the gn the larger fish, and to let the smaller pass | through om their journey up the river When the net is hauled up it is a mass of shining, wriggling creatures, all of them good, fat, healthy salmon. At the Cannery. The scene at the cannery is ome of marked activity. As the fish arrive they are cast at once upon the wharf, and are passed to the first handlers-- Chinamen--who behead and clean them They then move on to the next pro- cess, in which they are cut to the pro- per size to fill a can When thus treated the empty cans, in procession, move along a bench, and the work- men deposit a section of a salmon in each one as it passes. The filled cans glide to the next process, the laying on of the covers by machine Auto- matically, the can 'travels towards the soldering table. Then it tilts on to fts side, and the cover runs through a This seals the fish hermetically. Boiling follows, and whtn the cans are cool the fish is ready for the market A salmon can be carried through all the processes, from the wharf to the canned article, fn about five minutes. During the sea- son forty canneries work night and day, making hay. or rather canned fish, not only while the sun shines, but when the moon is up Value of the Industry. The value of the industry changes with the run. In some years the cash yield Is not very great. In others It is large. In 1893 the canned salmon ex- ported was worth $870,378 There came a big salmon run in 1887, and the fig- ures for that year reached $3,430.000. Then there was a drop to an annual product of a million or less In 1991 the big run again occurred. and the result was an export trade of $5,012,000 For the succeeding years the catch has been small. But 1905 is the quadren- nial immigration of salmon, and large figures are looked for. Nature has hitherto attended to the supply of fish The growing catch, however, has rather frustrated the efforts in that direc- tion As a consequence, our Fishery Department has taken up the problem, and for some years fish hatcheries have been in operation on the Fraser River. The hatcheries are protected by dams approached by a weir. Here, a month witnessed ago. a Strange scene was The surface of the water below the weirs was disturbed by tHe fins and backs of thousands and tiwusands of sockeyes waiting the chance to pass through to the spawning grounds. On one day when the gates of a weir were opened the salmon pushed into the re- served waters at the rate of 360 a min- ute by actual count. The idea of the hatchery is that the salmon shall be induced to spawn in waters that are protected from fish that feed upon the fry. Here the voung salmon are kept until they have reached a fair size whep they pass out by milllons--20.000,- 000 is the figure for this year--to the sea to fatten. and to return either to the spawning grounds or to the can- neries. It would seem tha: the salmon business has been brought to a science The care that is taken to preserve it and to multiply the fish ought to make {t a lasting industry, adding continu- allv to the wealth of the country.

A re- view of his report is published in The Labor Gazette, and this sets forth not only the success of the experiments de- scribed, but the favorable outlook for similar work in the Dominion. In the settlement at Fort Romie, California, the colonists selected were destitute, but had some efperience in farming work. To these men the land was sold under contract at $100 per acre, plus the cost of improvements. The pur- > payable in equal annual instaliments, spread over a period of twenty years, to which was added interest on deferred payments at the rate of five per cent. Chattels, such as horses, stock, implements etc, were | ®old to the colonists upon a five-year system, under which the price was made payable in equal annual install- ments, to which was added interest up- on all unpaid balances at the rate of six per cent. per annum. Every set- tler is reported as having done well, A statement in detail is given of in- terviews with the several heads of families, over twenty in number. In every instance the surplus value of liabilities constituted a considerable percentage, and in some cases nearly the whole of the total value of the farm, though the time of settlement had averaged only a few years, in some cases but one or two, and in no case more than seven. These people, who a few years ALO Were in the position of day laborers, are now for the most part on the highway to considerable prosperity, and already possess happy homes, healthy families, pleasant surroundings, and a sufficiency upon which to live. The colony at Fort Amity, California, DOES NOT REST ON TRAFAL- GAR ALONE. Eis Distinguishing Traits--Were Boldness and Audacity in At- tark--His Noble work for the Mother Land. We are close upon tne centenary of the great naval battle of Trafalgar, an event often recalled by the venture of the Russian Baltic fleet to the far east and {ts annihilation in the strait of Corea. In the battle of Tra- falgar, fought October 21, 1805, off the | coast of Spain, Lord Nelson was killed was composed largely of men of no | previous exgerience in farming. The land having been bought, the families were imported by degrees for the most part from Chicago, and settled upon twenty-acre lots. Hardly any of the settlers possessed capital, and in many instances the Salvation Army was obliged to pay the cost of transporta- tion to their future homes. Certain men with experience were selected for their instruction, and to this end placed among them as colonists. The results, according to the report, include the turning of a block of waste » Where a population of about persons are living in happiness, health, and comfort, with a good prospect of being entirely independent, and in some cases comparatively wealthy. The Dominion Government has given a practical approval of the colonization scheme of the Salvation Army by do- nating ten townships for the purpose, insisting, of course, that the free grant requirements as to settlement be com- plied with, NEW DIGNITY FOR LORD GREY. Becomes a Grandfather Through Birth wf. Eldest Daughter's Son. Says the Marquise de Fontenoy: Through the birth of Lady Victoria Grenfell's little - son, the Governor- jeneral of Canada and the Countess Grey have attained the dignity of grandparents. Lady Victoria is the eldest daughter of Lord and Lady Grey, and her debut was signalized by a wonderfuf ball given for her in 1897 by her uncle, Capt. Holford, the King's equerry, at Dorchester House, from which mansion, now eccupied by the American Ambassador to the Court of St. James, she was married four years agd to Arthur Grenfell. I may add that she is a god-daughter of the late Queen Victoria. Her husband is one of the nine sons of the late Pascoe Gren- fell. The eldest of the nine sons, who bore his father's name, and who played in the Eton eleven against Har- row in 1880, met with a fate that re- mains to this day shrouded in mystery; for, being in Africa about the time of the outbreak of the Matabele rebellion, he started, just before it began, on an expedition northward, with the inten tion of making his way to those great lakes which are the sources of the Nile, and from thence down the river to Cairo, a trip subsequently safely per- formed by Capt. Grogan and other ex- plorers. But Pascoe Grenfell was nev- er seen or heard of again after his de- parture, nor the most diligent search, carried on for years regardless of ex- pense, ever disclosed the slightest trace or clue to his fate. Another brother, namely, Ceclli Grenfell, is married to Lady Lilllan Spencer Churchill, one of the sisters of the Duke of Marlbor- ough He served for a time as alde de camp to his father's brother, Gen. Lord Grenfell, now commander-in-chief in -Ireland, but has since become a stock broker. Another brother was killed at Omdurman, and an uncle is the famous athlete, William Henry Grenfell, M. P., of Taplow Court, who twice swam across Niagara ¥ . What's In a Name? A curious collection lopes is possessed by George Wilson, secretary to Mayor Urquhart, enve- lopes upon which the Mayor's name is misspelled. Some are very much awry, while others miss the correct method by only the transposition of a letter or two, says The Toronto Star. One man who leans to phonetic spell- ing writes it "Urkert." Another chap who tries to exhaust the alphabet has it Erqueheart. "Erchart" appears sev- eral times, but the limit was just about reached when one man wrote "Eckwa- of old enve- heart." "Eckert" is common, and then there are "Ukhert," "Ukuhart and even "Burkhart." Eckert was utilized once, and #0 was Urkuhurt, "The pronunciation of the name puz- zles about a fourth of the people who come In" said Mr. Wilson. "The other day a man asked for Mayor 'N-q-hart' Another man sald 'Urk-hurt' He gets 'Uk-wort' and 'Ek-hurt' and 'Ur- kurt,' and 'Her-quirt, and 'Uk-qua- hart,' and 'Her-queer-it," and one fel- low Saturday said 'You-que-heert.'"

The British fleet under Nelson went into action with twenty-seven ships of the line and four frigates, while the combined French and Spanish fleets which he attacked numbered thirty-three ships of the line and seven frigates. When Nelson lay dying he was congratulated upon the completeness of the victory and told that fourteen or fifteen of the enemy's ships had surrendered. "That is well," sald he, "but I bargained for twenty." The evening of the battle several French and Spanish ships reached the harbor of Cadiz, whence they had sailed to meet the enemy, and one in- trepid Spanish shlp recaptured five ves- sels that had been taken by the Engs lish. Some critics declare that the vie- tory of Togo over Rojestvensky was greater than that of Nelson at Trafal- gar, notwithstanding that Nelson has always been credited with having "an- nihilated the enemy" on that memor- able day. Nelson's fame, the greatest in the naval annals of England, does not rest upon his achlevement at Trafalgar or upan any one war. For. eleven years preceding his death he had been a ship commander, squadron and fleet com- mander and commander-in-chief by turns. As a reward for a victory won over the French at Aboukir, in 1798, he was created Bagbn Nelson of the Nile and In 1800 was raised to the rank of viscount for defeating the Danes at Copenhagen. Like Napoleon he destroyed his enemies with terrible and unvarying certainty. Nelson's distinguishing traits were boldness and audacity in attack. Twice Nelson disobeyed the orders of his chief, the second time being at Copenhagen, where his disobedience won the vic- tory. When Nelson's division was get- ting the worst of it at Copenhagen the flagship hoisted the signal, "Leave off action." Nelson said bitterly: "Leave oft action! Now, d--n me If I do." Turning to the captain of his own ship, he told him to keep his signal for close action flying, then purposely placing a telescope to his blind eye--a souvenir of battle--continued: "You know, Foley, that I have only one eye and have a right to be blind some- times. 1 really do not see the signal D--n the signal anyway! Keep mine for close action flying Yes, nail fit to the mast. That's the way I answer signals to 'leave off action." In an. other hour he, the subordinate, was dictating terms to the vanquished Prince of Denmark. Nelson's bluntness was often dis- played in action. At the battle of the Nile one of his ship commanders, in great glee over the prospect, exclaimed, "If we succeed what will the world say?" Said Nelson: "There is no 'if about it. We shall succeed, but who will 'live to tell the story is another Trafalgar the captain of the flagship Victory told the ad- miral that he could not take the ves. sel through the enemy's line of battle, as had been ordered, without running into some one of three of the enemy's ships standing across the course. Said Nelson: "I cannot help it. Go aboard which you please. Take your choice" At Trafalgar he said, "If the signals cannot be understood a captain can- not do wrong if he lays his ship along- side of the enemy" 'This he called the "Nelson touch," and {it probably played a greater part in winning Tra- falgar than the oft quoted signal, "Eng- lands expects every man to do his duty." Nelson was killed by a French sharp- shooter, who fired from the tops of the Redoubtable when that ship was in the embrace of the English flagship. Some circumstances 'indicate that he felt the approach of fate when he set out to engage the enemy. It is sald that he even gave orders in London about a coffin. The night before the battle he wrote letters to Lady Hamilton, the woman who had a remarkable influence upon his life after his victory of the Nile, and to his 'adopted daughter," Horatia. After giving the instructions quoted above to his captains he ex- claimed on parting, "I shall never speak to you again." Among some letters, sold in London recently, with a collection of Nelson relics, is one to Lady Hamilton con- taining a passagh which Indicates that Baron Ne n of the Nile could make love as ardently as he could fight It reads: "All womankind are plain to me, but one only do I know that is all my fond heart ean wish, and when In any way I prove false to her may God's ven nee light upon me" Nelson's attachment for Lady Hamil ton led to a separation from his wife fo whom his last words were, "I call God to witness that there is nothing in you or in your conduct that I wish otherwise" A Trafalgar his final thoughts were upon Lady Hamilton and Horatia, whom he left "a le gacy to my country' Thames Water.

Man With the Long Row of Medals Earned Them. Pretty nearly 70 years of age, t- Major Martin, who came in from d- say, says The Toronto World, is a pretty lively old boy. He was here to join some comrades in the 54th anni- versary of the battle of Alma, and he wasn't a bit ashamed of the object of his visit, On his breast he wore a row of medals that made 'him compar- able with a Christmas tree, but they were the medals from his Sovereign, and were nice to look at on the tall, 'straight old chap, with the jpon bit of whiskers, whose excuse for displaying them was that he had earned them, and sverybody seemed glad to see them were they were, The clasps on the medal which Sergt.- Major Martin prizes most bear the tes. timonial of Alma, Balaclava, Inker- man and Sebastopol, They are cross- Ing a light blue ribbon, with a gold edge, over the Crimean medal, and they lead the way to the other decora- tions of the veteran. The second one, with the pink and green ribbon, is a reward for service in the Turkish war of "84 and '55, after the Crimea, and the one with the green badge above it is the imperial long service medal, Sergt.-Major Martin also wears the imperial medal for long service, and the medal of the Imperial Army and Navy Veterans. When he saw all his active service he was with the 21st Scotch Fusiliers, and to-day he has all the earmarks of the old soldier. On his right breast he wears the badge of the 48th Black Water, which was pre- sented to him a couple of years ago, and makes him an honorary member of the regiment.

Roger McFee made his annual visit to Toronto on the 30th August, and after taking a hasty look around the exhibition grounds departed, with his son, Andy, for the family homestead west of New Liskeard, in Temagami region. Roger carried with him out of Dineens' store $1985 in gold coin, being the value of 210 mink and musk- rat pelts, the proceeds of last 's trapping In the wilds of New Ontario. This is the seventh consecutive year that the Dineen Co. have pald Roger McFee in yellow gold for his bundles of pelts. The hardy Scotch trapper has no respect for money that is not gold, and cannot be persuaded to ac cept ordinary paper money for his val uable pelts. He has not learned the commonest methods of financing as practiced in the business world The mink pelts which McFee brought to the city are among the finest Dineen Co. has ev been fortunate enough to secure. The skins are of uniformly good quality and bsought a better price than is generally offered. McFee is of Scotch parentage and was at one time in the services of the Hudson Bay Co. He married an Eng- lish girl who was housekeeper at one of the posts and located in the Tema- gami district years ago, gradually working southward, and finally taking up land for farming purposes. Al- though the three McFee boys have de- veloped into rough farmers and woods- men, the father is a veritable ploneer, and is sometimes away a month at a time alone, hunting and trapping in the forest He sells exclusively to the Dinesn Co. McKee stated that he and his son would do more hunting this season, and he expects to bring down $3,000 worth of pelts about this time next year, The Tale of the Silver Fox. The story of the discovery of the mineral wealth in the Cobalt district has not, 80 far as we are aware, been giv- en to the public.

The hammer missed the mark, but scraped he moss off an outcropping of argen- tiferous ore. The apparent richness of the rock attracted the attention of La Rose, who straightway procured some dynamite and began blasting opera- tions on a small scale. With samples of the ore in his pocket he hurried the next day to Halleybury and consulted a solicitor or claims' agent, who re. ceived half an Interest in the claim as payment for his services. Bubsequent- ly La Rose parted with half his re- maining property to some one who un- dertook to develop it, and in the end he sold what he had left for $25,000 Hig original claim, now the La Rose Mine, has since produced a million dol- lars' worth of sliver.--London Adver- timer. ¢ Canadian Imperialism.
