COAST ABOUNDs IN FISH.
Pacific Region Will I'm Time supply
the Whole Country.

Pacific Region VIII I'm Time supply
the Whole Country.
The extensive coast line Of the terri
tory seems everywhere abundant with
halibut, which has become almost a
luxury in the East. There the fishing
is done at great hazard and at long
distances from markets, while In Alas
ka the fisherman leaves his home in
the morning and returns in the even
ing with the fruits Of his labor.
A little off the coast of Alaska and
in many places among the numerous
islands along the shores there exists
great cod banks. These are little
known and while they are now fished
to some extent it might be said the in
dustry is wholly in it's infancy. When
we consider the enormous extent of
these banks as compared with those off
the New England coast and the very
few fish now taken on them as COM
pared with the large numbers taken on
the Atlantic it can readily be seen to
what an extent this fishery can also
be expanded. Here also the element Of
safety is greatly in favor Of the in
dustry ON the Pacific coast. At present,
in small way. both halibut and cod
are shipped clear across the continent

to Boston and New York. With better
and cheaper facilities the markets Of
the United States will soon be opening
up to the Pacific.
The salmon fishing is now wholly
done for canning and in a small way
sailed. The extent to which this part
OF the industry has grown is more IA
miliar to the world than any other.
During the last few years the fresh
fish industry has made inroads even on
the cannery supply and mild cured sal
mon is now being shipped all the way
to Germany for smoking. During the
last winter buyers from German
houses In Hamburg have appeared in
Alaska towns and eagerly taken all the
product they could secure. This is but
beginning, and development in time
in the way Of improved means Of trans
portation will extend the shipping of
salmon fresh from the waters of
Alaska to all parts of the world-Pa-

GARIBALDpS ROMANCE.
Yelled English Woman Who Entered His
Life in His Later Years.

Achille Fazzari, one of the closest
personal friends of Giuseppe Garibaldi,
has revealed in an interview published In
The Trlbuna of Rome a romance in the
later years of the Italian patriot. The
heroine Is q Mrs. Collins, an English
woman, who with her husband lived on
the Island of Caprera, where Garibaldi
made his home for many years.
The couple had a hut on the island,
but only tenanted it in the widest
weather. The greater part of their time:
was spent atioat in sailboat on which
they originally reached Caprera
They lived mainly on the fish they
caught, on goats flesh and on wild birds
that the man shot; but every fortnight
they made a voyage to the nearby island
of La Maddalena, where Collins landed,
made necessary purchases and got his
letters.
The woman never left the boat and all
the time that it remained close to the
shore she kept her face and head muf-
fled up in a thick veil. This was the
cause of endless speculation among the
peasantry.
Mrs. Collins was graceful, with the.
step of youth and vigor, and she had a
melodious voice. One theory was that
the pair had eloped and she was afraid
of being recognized; but this seemed to-
be negatived by the fact that Collins.
made no effort to hide his identity.
Finally the story got abroad that she
had been beautiful, but had her beauty
destroyed through burning or scalding,
so that she was now repulsive to look at
Her husbands affection was undimin-
ished-they seemed to be devoted to each
other-but she could not bear to have
strangers see her. Hence the isolation
in which they lived.
This story held good until Collins died.
His wife dug a grave for him with her
own hands in a sheltered valley in
Caprera. She remained on the island for
some years, but she discarded the veil.
Then she was revealed as a beautiful
woman, and it was at once concluded
that unreasoning jealousy on the part of
her husband had driven them to solitude
Now comes Fazzari with the statement
that very shortly after Collins death
Garibaldi made the acquaintance of the
beautiful widow. The result was a pas
sionate friendship or platonic love, at
least on the lady's side.
tiers to Garibaldi, beginning in 1860,
when he was in Italy, taking part in
the war of unifcation. All are couched
in terms of devotion.
When asked what the end of the ro-
nance was Fazzari started new mys-
terry.
LET it remain secret" said he, and
no persuasions would induce him to talk
any more.

CATTLE DRIVING IN AFRICA.
Experiences of Drover on Thousand
Mile Trek.

J,RJ. Reynard. who has just completed
the long trek from the north, in CONVEX
satiol with a representative OF The Her.
aid, gave~a few of the experiences of the.
road. He started from the neighborhood
of Fyfe, close to the German East At
and reach Lomagundi, over thousand
miles distant, at the beginning of last
February.
The journey could be done quicker, but
haste often means loss i'll stock, and in
out of the way places of the globe time
counts for naught. The first portion of
the journey was uneventful. In the sec
ond stage of the trip, between Mpika
and Serenje, known to cattlemen as the.
starvation area, travelling was slow, food
was scarce and the cattle could only pro-
coed by short stages. Fly was bad in
places, but this insect only infests short
strips of country and by passing through
by night loss was averted.
Lions were also persistent and fol-
lowed the cattle down almost to the
Zambesi, but strange to say did not
make their presence heard, nor were any
seen south of the river. Whilst making
one of the nocturnal trips across the
fly belt, Mr.. Reynard had rather an
exciting experience with lions. The cat
tie had been resting throughout the day
and at sunset the order to march was
given. The herd was split up into four
lots, each in charge of a reliable ma
tive.
All went well until about 10 o'clock
and good progress was being made. The
night was excessively dark and suddenly
vibrating through the darkness came the
roar Of lions. The marauders were at
lacking the last mob of cattle. The herd
boys fled in all directions and the cattle
stampeded. 1t was too black to see the.
attacking Iorce, but the frightened bel
low of the cattle and now and then a
cry which plainly told beast had re-
ceived it's death blow was evidence that
the lions were at work.
When day broke one of the divisions of
cattle was scattered, and it was not un-
til evening that they were all collected.
Three cows and calves were found killed
and partly devoured. Two other cows
were badly mauled. During the trek
down the herd was attacked FIVE times
by lions, and on one occasion a bullock
was carried off right under the eyes of
the frightened natives
Another cause of loss was the numer-
Gus game pits made by the natives.
These are dug in close proximity to the,
cattle track and several beasts fell into
these pits, hidden by the long grass. and
