A special dispatch to the Seattle
Times from Vancouver says: 1.-THE
terrible waste of sockeye salmon on the
Fraser still goes on. The run at this
writing averages about 600 TO the boat
and there are about 5000 boats. From
500 to 900 fish are caught in half
hours drift. The run is unprecedented,
but the slaughter is appalling. The
federal government has steadfastly re-
fused tile use of the humane American
trap on the ground that the fish would

strating the folly of the stand taken by
the Canadian government. While the
fish are kept alive for days i'm the traps
on Puget Sound, two thirds of the en-
tire catch OH the Fraser is being thrown
away. The river is putrid with rotting
salmon and hundreds and thousands
are fostering in the sun OH the banks OF
the river. Members of the provincial
government are making weekly trips
to the American traps and it is an
open secret that next season the local
legislature intends to force the issue by
getting hold of the administration of
the fisheries and placing traps in the
Canadian waters in spite of the Do
miniOn government"

They Want Traps

A strong effort is being made by the
Canners' association of British Column
bia to get the Dominion government
to premit the construction and opera

the fishing GROUNDS ana some OF the

Canners' association and from the re-
port of the excursion as published In
the Victoria Colonist 1t Is evident that
they have become convinced that the

yincial canDerymen at serious disad.
vantage which the Dominion govern
ment should remove BY permitting the
use of traps along the coast OF Vancou-
yer island and in the waters OF the
Gulf of Georgia. One Of the visiting
legislators is quoted BY the Colonist as
saying: ..-;..,s

Bordeaux Mixture

The Country Gentleman says that
1.-THE latest estimate of Bordeaux mix

stances have been recommended as
cheaper and better, there is no better
fungicide than Bordeaux, and no better
insecticide than Paris green. While
for some special fruit diseases some
other fungicides seem better than Dor.
deaux. yet for general use nothing has
taken its place. We cannot commend
the made-tO-order mixtures, for the
best results are secured with Bordeaux
