FOUND A COAL MINE

Manchester, n. Hone of the coal
dealers in Manchester in screening
coal this winter had thrown out a ton
or so of slate and rock which he had
drawn away and dumped. An en-
ploye of one of the mills while going
home one night saw the pile and in
the darkness thought he had almost
discovered a coal mine. Fearing that
some one would discover it and get
the treasure away from him he pro-
cured a wheelbarrow and spent a good
share of the night in wheeling the
pile to his home. In the morning he
built a good wood fire in his stove
before light, and put on a bod full
of the coal. To his surprise things
did not seem to warm up as he ex.
pected, and looking in the stove he
found the fire was entirely out. His
disgust may be imagined when an ex-
animation disclosed the character OF
his find and he thought of his hard
nights work in wheeling it to his
| home.

representatives of the Boston Cham

AS stated by the gentlemen named
the most valuable asset of the State
is going to waste, and about 10 pei
cent, of woodland territory is now
good for nothing to anybody, because
it has been denuded of its timber

taxable property, and it is better fol-
the Commonwealth to bring it bach
by the re-forestation. At present the

To FIGHT AGAINST
STEAM TRAVELLERS
Fishermen Claim Monopoly Is
Sought by Big Concerns.
HAVOC OF THE GILL" NET
Federal Prohibition Against Ruthless
Groundfish Destruction Urged,
Must Act at
Once.

Boston.-The enactment of a law to
prohibit the sale of fish caught by
steam trawler methods, and to pre-
vent the importation of such fish into
the United States is to be advocated
by men in the fishing industry who
declare that without this relief finan-
cial interests will obtain a monopo-
ly on the fishing industry, despoil the
fishing banks, reduce the supply of
fish and raise the prices to the con-
sumner.
Already it is claimed that this has
been done in Europe The authori-
ties there learned of the employment
of this method too late. Today they
get inferior fish at high prices in
Europe which have to be caught off
Ireland or 1000 miles north Of En-
gland.
Since the United States has no
control of waters outside the twenty
mile limit the opponents of the steam
trawler method say It would be i'm
possible to restrain the steam traw-
lers from their method of operation.
Only an international law would do
this, and before the two or three
years had elapsed before such a law
could be secured it is claimed that
1t would be too late, that the harm
would have been done.
There is one man on whom the
fishermen base their hopes of saliva
ton. He is A. r. Alexander, dean of
the United States government fish
cries experts. Mr.. Alexander has
seen the steam fishing boats at work.
He recently saw the gill net" in OPP
Grafton when on cruise on the
Crest. He knows all about the beam
trawl, tn e trawl dredge and the
otter net. The gill net" is the des-
pair Of the fishermen
These interests are said to be al
ligned with the fishermen against the
steam fishing syndicate backed by
bankers. There is over $1,000, 900
paid annually for the catch of fresh
fish brought to Boston.
1t is claimed that should the
speedy passage of a law prohibiting
the sale of steam-caught fish fail
that the monopoly would be effected
and have in its grasp the entire sit
alton. Prices could be boosted be-
yond the power of the fishing indus
try to stop.
