FRISCO SALMON MARKET

The canned salmon business has been gradually gaining strength and volume for the last month, and though not obtainable below the opening figures has before this com pletely disappeard from the market. Some buyers are still holding back, but the trade everywhere is beginning what it usually is at this time of year, nor what it should be in view of the eXeremely low prices, the present situation gives much more encourage ment than was felt month ago. Rumors of price-cutting have turned out to be for the whatever may been for a time to realize that the pack this year was not so enormous as was at first supposed, and that the prevailing prices will give great impetus to the con- suming demand. The fact : that salmon is demanded for consumption is we'll indicated by the rapidly growing number of repeat orders received from those who have already purchased i'll a moderate way; trade to actual conditions is reflected in the marked in crease of new business from the larger markets, especially within the last two weeks.
 Notwithstanding the com petition of medium Reds, which have been in compara- lively fair demand, Pink sal mon is beginning to show more strength being purchased Chums, but this year find diff ficulty in filling their require ments of that variety.-Pacific Fisherman.

WILD HORSES HAVE
 BECOME A MENACE

The Canadian government is confronting a new problem. according to late reports from the Peace river country.
 During the rush to Dawson in iS97-9S, a great many pioneers travelled through the Peace river on the famous Edmonton trail. Many had horses which they were forced to abandon in many instances. Now the Canadian ministry of agriculture has been request ed to take steps to protect the settlers from the depredatiOns Of wild horses. It appears that these horses have made raids upon the ranches of the new settlers in the Peace river valley, killing domestic horses and leading others away which have been imported at consid- erable expense. The wild hor- ses are supposed 10 be decen- dants of the horses abandoned during the gold rush.

 TO GET MARRIED

If the fees established by the Territorial law providing for the recording of deaths, births, and marriages, takes preced- ence over the fee bill for re- cording certificates of this nature, it will cost 20 cents less to get married. More over, the stork can keep busy without any charge being laid mp against his work in the re- corder's office. Neither will 1t cost anything to record the fact that one has snuffed out this mortal coil.
