PROHIBITION IN
 CANADA IS TO
 BE WATER-TIGHT

OTTAWA, Aug. PA deputation representing the Dominion Prohibition committee waited upon the Premier Sir Robert Borden, for the purpose of laying before the Government certain proposals with regard to prohibition in the provinces. The Premier was attended by Sir George E. Foster. Min. ister of Trade and Commerce. and the Hon. C. H. Doherty, Minister of Justice.
 At present most of the provinces have prohibition, but not a a full meas. pre of prohibition, owing to the pos sibility of sending liquor in from one province to the other. The deputa. ton presented for the consideration of the Government a draft Dominion Temperance Act" which was exceed. ingly far-reaching in it's provisions. It provides for the prohibition of the manufacture of liquor in Canada or it's importation and also forbids the inter. provincial traffic in liquor as well as the advertising of liquor for sale, Government, it was proposed, might introduce the measure and provide for it's reference to the people. 9th CT stringent recommendations were also made by the deputation.
 In reply to the propositions of the deputation, the Prime Minister said that the Government intended to make the present act, which is known as the Doherty Act, by means of amend tments so effective as to meet the re quirements of the provinces. we in tend to make it water-tight," said the Premier, whereupon Sir George Eos ter wittily interposed, You mean 'whiskey-tight."

THE GERMAN DEAD:
 AN ADMISSION

The Germans are no longer taking pains to conceal the fact that their dead soldiers are being rendered down" to secure oil and other prod ucts.
 Herr Karl Kosher, the correspond ent of the Berlin Lokalanzeiger on the Western front, published on April 10 the first definite admission In a description of the battlefield north of Rheims he wrote:
 We pass through Evergnicourt There is a dull smell in the air, as if lime were being burnt We are pas sing the great Corpse Exploitation Es- tablishment (Kadavererwertungsan- stalt) of this Army Group The fat that is won here is turned into lubri- eating oils, and everything else is ground down in the bones mill into a powder which is used for mixing with pigs food and as manure.
 Herr Rosner conveys this informat- ion with no comment but the remark that nothing can be permitted to 20 to waste"
 Here is confirmation of an article in the Paris Journal published on March g It is quoted from the Technical paper Chemichez Zeitung Chemical Gazette) of November IS last this an. nouncement:
 "Thermochemiche Vern Eckbol. sheim (Strassburg). On account of the departure of our manager, we re. guire an engineer free from military obligations, to direct, technically and commercially, our factory for the des- truction of dead bodies. The name of the factory (said the JournaD leaves no doubt respecting the nature of the work carried on in this thermochemical factory. That is to say. it is not solely destruction by heat, but it also comprises the chemi cal treatment and utilization of the bodies.

COMMUNICATION

Ketchikan, Alaska, August P, 1917 The Progressive-Mine
 ketchikan, Alaska.
 Dear Mr Rivard
 I believe it will be of public inter- est to correct through your columns a few misunderstood points regarding the fisheries law and regulations and operations hereunder, with especial reference to commercial trout fishing.
 So far as the protection of the fish cries of Alaska is concerned there are but two acts of congress now in force Those of June 14th and 26th 1906. That of June 26th is the one having especial reference to regulat- ing the fishery methods, etc.
 All fishery operations have equal privileges and restrictions under this act and trout fishing on a commercial basis is as legitimate an enterprise as is salmon fishing or any other con- mercial fishery in Alaska. It is like wise as permissible to fish trout in the same places and with the same regard for the law as to fish salmon.
 Copies of the Fisheries Laws Regu- lations and if desired explanations and interpretations can be obtained by calling on or addressing any of the regular officers of the Bureau of Fish, cries in the Southeastern Alaska Dis trct
 Very sincerely yours,
 Ernest P. WALKER,
 TnSnector Alaska Service
