DEER AND TROUT ON LINE.
Stories of Remarkable Catches Made
in North Woods.

To kill a deer and catch trout at
the same time out-Nimrods Nimrod
and out-Izaaks Walton. A fisherman
has just done the trick on the Arrow
lakes The deer weighed 200 pounds
and the trout ten. The fisherman was
trolling for trout when several deer
swan past his boat. One was an old
buck and the man managed to catch
hold OF him as he was going by.
Having no gun, he tried to kill the
animal with clasp knife, says the
Toronto Globe. The buck objected SO
strenuously that he got away, swim
ming off with the fishing line upon
his horns. The fisherman bailed out
his boat and started in pursuit After
two hours rowing he caught up with
the deer, and with oars and knife sue
ceeded in Staying it. While the chase
was proceeding big trout got on to
the hook and after the deer was safely
landed the fish was secured. 1t is
quite a common occurrence to see
deer swimming in the lakes of British
Columbia. but to capture one and a
trout at the same time is infrequent.
Conductor Mckay, of the Nakusp
and SLOGAN branch of the Canadian
Pacific railway, previously held hon
ors in Kootenay for securing a wild
animal in unique fashion. He, While
on a moving train near NaSusp, shot
and killed a big bear, but the fisher
man has put him in the shade. Even
the captain of the OkaAagan lake
steamer, who secured an eagle by
shooting 1t from the pilot house, has
had his fame eclipsed; while Neil
Getthing, who tried to lasso a deer
from the deck of the old steamer w,
Hunter on SLOGAN lake, and failed by
a horns breadth, is quite outdistanced.
The only man who can come near
to the fisherman's record is w. Han,
of South Vancouver who a few days
ago killed an old bear and three cubs
who were eating his strawberries In
a big patch just outside the city linn
it's; but he had no fish with which to
adorn the tale he told the reporters.

sEARcHlNG FOR DIAMONDS.
Early Experiences of One Man in
South Africa.

J. B. Robinson. the South African
millionaire, told an interviewer his
early experiences in searching for dia'
monds. The news spread like wild
fire through the countryside that a
White man was giving away wagons
and oxen for bits of stone. / set all
the natives who came to work to seek
diamonds on one side of the river,
says Mr.. Robinson, land | fetched up
my own so men to hunt for diamonds
among the bushes and scrub on my
side of the vaal Next morn
ing at sunrise l was startled by a loud
halla-bullooing, and, looking out, /
saw whole gang of my men rushing
toward me in a state of great excite
ment. One of them had found dia-
mond of good size; they all had come
to see what l would do with it. What
will you give me for it?' says he. :
will give you ten cows | replied, and
sent the man into the herd to take his
pick, and he marked ten of the best
COWS as his own. They had never
dreamed of making such a bargain,
Ten cows for a bit of stone; Off they
went again, and found diamonds every
day; they all became rich, and I ac'
cumulated a good store of precious
stones We made a belt full of small
pockets, in each of which we placed
a diamond When the belt was filled
my partner girded it about his body
and started for Cape Town. He never
took off his belt until he reached Lon
don. And it was in this way that the
first consignment of African diamonds
reached London"

JAPAN AND TOBACCO
WANTS TO CUT DOWN IMPoRTA-
TON FROM AMERICA.

Japan wishes if possible to cut off her I'M
portation of American tobacco. The sale
Of tobacco in Japan is a government mo-
nopoly and was one OF the securities on
which the japanese raised one of their nu-
merous loans to carry on the late war.
The country is great manufacturer and
consumer of cigarettes, and the making of
these cigarettes depends largely on the i'm
portation of bright tobacco from the to-
bacco belt of this country.
For a number of months past the Japa-
nese government has had a representative,
Dr. Ikeda. in this country, studying the
cultivation and curing of American to-
bacco. and there called at the Agricultural
Department today another representative
OF the japanese government, Mr.. Tokuki-
chiro Abe who was after informa ton on
the statistical side of the tobacco growing
industry
He was introduced to the Secretary Of
Agriculture and turned to the bureau
of tobacco statistics, where he loaded up
with facts and figures as to the product
of the bright tobacco region in this coun-
try. Mr. Abe has been in this country
about five weeks and will sail in week
for Japan to lay the result of his inyesti-
cations before the government
This government has been free to extend
him every courtesy and make his invest-
cation as easy possible; for It Is not
thought that the japanese government can
get along without the importation or
American tobacco. Mr.. Abe had with him
a number of samples of Japanese cigar
cites, some of them made OF straight Ameri-
can tobacco, some of Japanese tobacco and
Turkish mixed and some of Japanese and
American mixed. They were very fair
samples of cigarettes too
All of the brands had English names, the
LILY" the Oriental and several other
sorts. They looked and tasted precisely
like American cigarettes of the same grade,
but one of the interesting things about them
was that they were sold al retail for about
~ cents per package IN Japan, and the
Japanese government imported the tobacco,
manufactured II and sent the product back
to the Pacific coast, where II paid the in
ternal revenue tax and sold In competition
with the American cigarettes. This was
explained simply by the phenomenal cheap
ness of labor in Japan. The packages were
good and the interior wrapped in tin
foil with some of the brands accompanied
by parafined paper mouthpieces. Each
package was labeled in English with the
name and the words, Bureau of tobacco
monopoly" On the other side of the pack
age was the legend of origin in Japanese.
Cannot Get Aroma.
Mr. Abe said that the great trouble was
that while the growers were able to grow
excellent bright tobacco. so far as locks
were concerned, in many parts of Japan
| they could not get the aroma. and they
| were not able to sell the Japanese-grown
| cigarettes In competition with the imported
| tobacco. The government was studying this
problem. but Il was d question whether II
would be able to make UP, with fertilizers
| and curing, the natural deficiencies In soil

ME-. COMPREHENSIVE
ELECTION OF THREE NEW BIsH-
OPS FAVORED.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 12.-At today s
session of the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South the COM
mttee on episcopacy made report rec
ommending the election of three new bish-
ops. The report, it is thought, will be taken

alton of Bishops John C. Cranberry and o..
p. Fitzgerald on the superannuated list

Bishop A. Coke Smith because of poor
health. The salaries of active bishops were
