A Norwegian correspondent states
that the biggest salmon fishway in
Norway was recently completed at
Malang falls, on the Maal river, south
OF Tromsoe, in the northern part Of
the country. 1t was started in 1908
and Is $4,000 feet in length, having
been built through the solid mountain
wall. The expense has been borne
partly by the national government and
partly by the commune. The salmon
fishing has been poor in the Maal river,
owing to the unfavorable condition of
the spawning beds below the c~ataracts.
Above the c~ataracts are excellent
spawning beds, but the salmon could
not reach them because of the abrupt.
ness of the falls, which are seventy
feet in height. Now that the salmon
will be able to reach these beds
through the new fishway It Is believed
that the Maal river will become an
excellent place for salmon fishing and
the money spent on the fishway will
doubtless prove a good investment.

this week been sent to the Famine Re-

Relief Fund. This latest sum, like all

600 worth of flour represented in the
cargo of the Buford, have now reached
the grand total of $l02, 100.
Letters received during the week
from the famine field show that up to
the present time there has been no
diminution in the distress. The Rev.

of date March IA: 1.-THE impression
seems to have got out that the present
famine is less severe than that of three
years ago. think the others who like
myself are engaged in famine relief
work, will bear me out in the statement
that not only is the present famine
fully as severe as that of three years
ago, but also that it is extended over a
far greater area. l myself have seen
only the afflicted parts of my province
of Anhui, but speaking for them, can
say that there is absolutely no COM
parison between the need that exists
now and that of the former famine, =
