Mr. James 'began his life work in Burgoyne near Tara, Ont. as a school teacher, and about forty- seven years ago he came to 'Price- ville and established the tannery and harness shop. which he carried on successfully for several years. In 1870 he married Anna Irwin, young- est daughter of the late Alexander Irwin, of Artemesia. .With whom he lived happily until her death twelve years later. He is survived by five daughters, as follows;â€" Mrs. Bowes, of Markdale, Misses Jennie, Bertha and Edith. at home; and Mrs. Herman McLean. of Priceâ€" Ivine, to whom the sympathy of all gis extended. Cartnev C. James was born in Bailieboro Co. Cavern. Ireland‘ in 18-13. In 1850 the familv came to Canada and settled for a time in Toronto. His father was postmas- ter at Woodbridge, known then as BGI'\\'iCk. From there they moved to Ohio. where in .a short time, father, brother and a cousin. who resided with them, all died in the space of '3 or 4 years. Dr. Mahafâ€" fy, an uncle at this time was prac- tising in Orange Valley, and know- ing of the reverses which his sisâ€" ter’s family had met. sent for them to return to Canada. The family settled on what is now known as the Montgomery ‘Farm in "Orange Valley, and there attended the pub- lic school. In those days wild deer and pigeon were numerous and Mr. James has stated to the Writer that he has seen a large herd of deer lying peacefully resting on the farm behind the house. also that he has seen parts of the sky abscured by theflight of Wild pigeons. l‘ ' Are you thie'chap? ;Someome is always repining, {Someone all the time is whining,. ;meone sees no bright sun shining 3 Are youthe chap? :Someone never gives ‘a smile, ' Are you the chap?

They are called gill nets be- cause the fish swimming along the bottom of the lake cannot see the nets, which form a sort of fence be- .ore them, and so they swim right into them and their heads go right ithrough the meshes. But when they ltry to wriggle free again the strong l net catches them behind the gills and there they must remain, helpless prisoners to the appetite of men. lThese particular fishermen, whose Iheadquarters are on the sandbar at Hanlan’s Point in the summer time, have about 3,000 yards of net in all, lwhich is comprised of eight nets. {Each net weighs about 20 pounds, iand before the war used to cost $4 a pound, but the flax from which these extra strong nets are made has al- lways come from Russia or poor rav- :aged Belgium, so now these coun- gtries have been compelled to raise the 1 price of flax, with the result that now ;he formerly did, but $120. . The average life of even the best for nets is only two years, and to last ieven that long they must have lots of gmending. Every morning the fisher- 'men may be seen on the Island pa- tiently winding their nets like huge newspaper articles of the 'Drys versus the Wets.

T HERE are four plants in on- But the weather is not always fair and sometimes the waves are moun- tainous high when the little launch puts forth at evening with its cargo of nets, or in the early morning when we are all calmly sleeping in our beds, the fishermen drag up the drip- ping nets with their precious load of fish, which may come to our tables that night perhaps, for us to eat with never a thought to spare for the men who brave the dangers of the lake to furnish us with food. a good fish net costs not $4 a pound but $6. The fisherman when he needs a new net must pay not $80 for it, as he formerly did, but $120. “The_ average life of even the best of nets is only two years, and to last even that long they must have lots of mending.

It is not a very long season, and lasts really only from April until Au- gust tor Whitefish and trout, but in the tall the herring season com- mences and lasts until quite late, for it seems that with fish as with every- thing else, each species has its own' 'â€"â€"â€"v particular season. The average catch is usually about 150 pounds daily and is brought fresh and glistening from the waters right into the city to a wholesaler, who gets it out to his customers in a surprisingly short time, while it is still beautifully hard and firm, and as different to the fish which has to travel long distances (even though carefully packed in ice) as it can possibly be. There is no- thing to equal the flavor of our Whitefish it it comes to your table crispy, fresh from the cool green depths of the lake. “Why,” said one sun-tanned fisherman to me, “there’s nothin’ on earth to beat ’em! You get a boatload of nice, fresh white- flsh and you’d just think from the smell of ’em that you had a whole boatload of fine, fresh cucumbers! That’s just the way they smell when they’re fresh, Miss!
