There is one kind of angling which only a few men have ever enjoyed, and which is in most respects on an equality with salmon fishing. It is fly fishing on the lakes to the Far North for the immense forked tailed grey trout. * Generally these noble fish, which run up to 60 pounds in weight, are taken by professionals in nets, or in deep cold water by weighted trolling spoons. Just a favored few know that when. the ice is leaving the lakes and there is open water around the edges, the trout will rise greedily to the right kind of a fly and give all the gport their weight and agile appearance warrants. The idea was probably developed from the common Indian custom of building a bright fire on a rocky point just at this season, and spear- ing the fish as they came splashing around at night to investigate. When once it was known that the fork tails left their deep-water homes and circulated near the surface when the ice was still about, the rest was easy. But let no decrepid or poorly equipped fisherman imagine that he will land these beauties as boys jerk out suckers from the mill streams in the spring. A long stout line is es- sential. A heavy, not too pliant, rod ghould be used. The gut leader should be of salmon quality. Small sizéd single hooks are probably best, though some men use a double hook, as is commonly tried for salmon. The flies themselves should be dark, with a bit of tinsel and a dash of scarlet. It must be remembered that the time of flies is not yet, and there Is no particular model to be imitated. The strike of the grey trout is often peculiar. Once the writer was some- what listlessly watching his fly floating on the still water when, with- out any sign or a ripple, or splash, it disappeared, sucked in by a 27- pounder, who fought like a whale for twenty minutes without once show- ing himself until he gave one mighty convulsive leap to mark his surrend er to superior .force, On another occasion, when in- structing a youmgster in the art of fly fishing; the hook struck the water, and disappeared.

One of the most systematic and probably the largest reclamation scheme ever carried out in British Columbia is now nearing completion at Pitt Meadows in the Frasef Val- ley. Six thousand adres of rich Aallu- vial land, formerly of little value for agriculture, are affected. The im- provements inaugurated, occupying a large force of men for many months, have entailed the expenditure of ap- proximately $200,000, With the Van- couver market only twenty miles away and accessiblo over good roads, the reclaimed land has a splendid sit- uations It will be 'given over prin- cipally to market gardening and dairying, Fronting on the Pitt river just be- low the point where it leaves Pitt Lake, the reclaimed asea was waste land until men, practical but vision- ing spirit of the syndicate of capital- ists (among whom were some of the best known men in Vancouver) which secured the tract from the Dominion Government. One of the clauses of the agreement was that a certain carried out within a given time. The syndicate employed Mr. W. H. Bur- well, of Vancouver, as engineer, Mr. Burwell's plans included both dyking and drainage the former ne- cessitated by the tides, which flowed over the land duringsseveral months of the year, and the latter by the fact of the almost perfect level of the land. A syke twelve miles in length was constructed. This was ten feet in height and about six feet wide at"the top. The cost of this, with flood gates, key ditch and pump- ing station," was over $100,000. Believing that the large initial'out- lay would be justified, the contrac- tors for the drainage work brought into the province a large ditching machine costing $15,000, the first of its kind to be used in the Pacific Northwest. It digs a ditch nine feet wide at top and five feet deep, at the rate of six lineal feet per minute, There was forty miles of ditch for this modern giant to excavate. Along east and west lines the canals were placed every quarter mile, and on north and sout™ lines, every mile. In addition, ditches were dug along all the road allowances, the material fought in and out of the water for half an hour before he gave in. An English sportsman was quite | | exasperated when he had a like ex- | perience, | "It's nothing but a beastly big | chub," he averred. "I have often had them do the same in the Old Land. Nothing but an eel sucks] in bait that way." " He changed his mind when, after | three minutes of vigorous splashing! and fighting, the monster smashed his tackle and made off! yenerally, however, the grey trout dives to the deepest part of the lake after a preliminary tussle to test thy strength of the line. There is no fear of the hooks tearing away when it has been drawn well into the interior of that leathern-lined bony mouth. The strain upon arms-and-rod as a big fish keeps on diving is some- thing to be remembered. And the feeling that line is swiftly running out and must reach: an end before long is- thrilling also. The one thing to do when one of these monsters starts for the under regions is to put on the drag. Realized His Nationality. "At lunch time to-day," writes a Montreal newspaperman in a recent article, "a friend stepped up to my table in the restaurant and said, shaking hands, 'Good-bye, I am off with my brother to-night.' He is an accomplished ' engineer; he is over forty-five, and so beyond the age at which he might be called. He has an excellent position. His brother thrown up being used for the road embankment, The establishment of good roads, consequently, will only entail rolling and the application of surfacing gravel. The reclaimed tract has a clay sub- soil with a covering of from eighteen inches to two feet of rich alluvial deposit. In production it is expected to equal other bottom lands in the Fraser Valley. ¥ The era of systematic dyking and draining is beginning in British Co- lumbia. Down in Richmond muni- cipality at the mouth of the Fraser they are considering a scheme for dvking and draining several thousand acres, now non-productive, at the east end of Lulu Island near New Westminster. The area is within eight miles of Vancouver, and if the plan is successful the lantl affected will' rise enormously in value. The lands already dyked in the Fraser are among the most productive in British Columbia. Delta municipality alone produces annually foodstuffs worth over $1,000,000. ' Canada's Wheat Yield.

Germany Has the Most Perfect Sys-| tem In the World. In view of reported eases of Ger- | man espionage in Canada, and of the | excitement produced in various cen-! tres throughout the Dominion by the movements of supposed spies, it is; interesting to know something of the! scale upon which the German system of espionage is known to be organiz- ed in the theatre of war of Europe, | which is of course the very heart centre of the system. { At the start it is well to recall the fact that the excellence of the Ger- | man intelligence system, which con-! tributed so powerfully towards the! German success in the Franco-Ger-| man war of 1870, was the result of an elaborate spy system, carefully! organized within the borders of France during peace times. | After the conclusion of 'the 1866 campaign against Austria, Stieber, Minister of Police in Prussia, who! was to Bismarck and Von Moltke, what Fouche was to Napoleon, was '. His aim and object was the organi- zation within the boundaries of France, of a spy system preparatory ' | to the pending war. Stieber, in all, between 1866 and 1869, made four journeys through the length and breadth of France, by the end of | which time, aided by very able as- | sistants, he accomplished far-reach- | ing results. ! A peculiar feature of the system | instituted by Stieber at that time, and still maintainéd, Were the "fixed | posts." The ordinary idea of a spy | is one who is sent to travel in a for- eign country in some disguise, and who returns to his own country with information thus acquired. But. this traveling spy suffers very great dis- advantages. Like every traveler in a foreign country, without any rea- son for being there, he is the object | of suspicion. He has no time to get thoroughly into touch with useful channels of information. The spy on the "fixed post" is on | an entirely different footing. He | attracts no attention, since he lives as an inhabitant of the place he 1s in, and, moreover, plies some trade, | which gives him a very good reason ! for being there. | In 1890 Stieber, still at that date ! Minister of Police in Germany, was | sent through France and subse-| quently established a branch of the German Secret Police to deal with "political actions." This term, it was explained, included the destruc- tion of the strategetical railways in | France on the ou'break of war, go 'that the -French mobilization might be retarded. But this part of the scheme miscarried, thanks to the vigilance of the French intelligence agents, How perfect a spy system has been introduced by the Germans into Canada is not stated, but it is known that there have heen German spies in Canada within the past five years, and that some of them have been ! identified and tracked by the military and police authorities. Owing to the military censorship imposed upon the cable and wireless telegraph services, it is difficult for | the German agents in Canada to get | their reports across the Atlantic | Ocean promptly; but in the absence | {of a censorship over the land wires and mails, communication of a sort! is open through to neutral countries. German Goods Denied Entry, Hon. J. D. Reid, Minister of Cus- toms, has obtained one of the many | circulars with which Canadian mer- | chants are being deluged these days | | from agents of German and Austrian | firms in the Inited.States. .The eir- | cular is as follows: a "After having been eut off from our connection abroad since Aug. 3, we are glad to advise that we have re-established cable communication with our friends. "We are glad to inform you that our Hamburg factories are in opera- | tion and goods are being made up. Arrangements are now being made to ! ship these goods via neutral ports, | and we believe that the new routing | will be in good working order very shortly. We may of course be in- | convenienced by some delays, but this will be only for a short time we hope. { "We shall keep you further posted | | on developments in the meantime, | We beg you not to be alarmed as to possibility of not being able to secure { | the goods for which you may have | aced orders with us, » "In the meantime we shall con- | | tinue to' fill orders from our stock, which we hold at the disposal of our | | ustomeps without 'advance as long las it ladts." - The Customs Department, since | the issuing of the imperial proclama- { tion prohibiting trading with the { enemy, has taken drastic steps to pre- | vent any of the goods crossing the j border, and so far there has been a i complete cessation of trading with | the enemy. The same vigilance will | be maintained during the war, [" Evening Strolls Risky. | | Two young men of the Cuthbert {party from Canada disobeyed the | Paris order a few weeks ago that all citizens should be indoors at nine {o'clock in the evening, and went for {a stroll.

In his flurried attempt to remember French and his hotel, one of them {said We was staying at the Hotel de fale (City Hall), then, when the sol- | dler gasped, he said the Hotel de | Europe (in Switzerland), and by the | time he remembered the Hotel de Louvre, at which the party were stop- ping, a big crowd had gathered. From these a man stepped forward who spoke English, and the two were able to scan but took no more evening' strolls, P| c------------ Social Tact. Mrs. Green--You spoke just now of social tact.
