Sea Lion Leather.

Large numbers Of sea lions on the
British Columbia coast which destroy
annually vast quantities Of fish food
may be slaughtered and their hides
placed on the worlds leather market,
II a proposition which comes from
Premier Oliver and has the approval
Of many experienced fishermen, is car

1000 to $500 pounds, the hides being
nearly an inch thick. These hides
make tough and durable rough

"lotuS EatersO

Few flowers have been more identi-
ned with the worlds history than the
mysterious lotus of Egypt. The phrase
iotus eaters" is a common one in lit
erature. and is used to describe those
who live in dream world. The food
made from the dried seeds of the
Egyptian variety seems to have had
an effect similar to various opium
products, and once in the clutch of the
drug the lotus eaters forgot both past
and family. and went incoming about,
Obvious of demands made by society,
Kin, or even their own physical wants.

CAN'T RUSH TO sAGHALIEN
Japanese Government Bars All but
Business Firms Approved by
War Office.

There will be no rush of adventur-
ers to the new fields for exploitation
opened up by the Japanese occupation
Of Russian Saghalien. according to Mr.
Aurakami chief of the fishery bureau
Of the department of agriculture and
commerce, who is quoted in the Yo-
miuri:
"None except those who really mean
business and are In position TO Sc
riOuSlY transact business will find any
place for them in Saghalien," said NJ.
Murakami "All rights there, are In
the hands of the military command
and anyone thar wants TO 90 there,
now must obtain a permit from the
war Office. Certainly the forests there
will yield plenty of wood pulp and
other raw material, while there are
rich coal mines and possibly Oil wells.
But the chief product of that region is
the output of the fisheries"
Speaking of the fishing rights in Sag
halien Mr., Murakami said that after
consultation with the army command
laievsk for those rights over which the
army command is able to furnish pro-
lection. No detailed report of the auc-
ton has been received. The bidders
had to file their applications with a
deposit TO guarantee their good faith,
and they had to be persons who were
qualified by long experience in fish
cries In that neighborhood.
The Yomiuri says that many repu,
table business establishments have
been holding back from enterprises in
Saghalien for fear of the competition

ton. transmission, distribution and
sale Of electric or other light, heat or
power, and transmission lines or other
means for the transmission snd distri-

Halifax, n. S., Oct. 3f-Captain
Zimmerman of the Lenenburg fisher
man Delawanna expressed the opinion
today that his vessel was too heavily
ballasted for the light weather in
which Captain Marty WEIGH piloted
the Gloucester schooner Esperanto to
victory in yesterdays race. In pre-
paration for the second race tomor-
row of the series for the speed
championship of the North Atlantic
fishing fleets, he supervised some
changes in his boat.
A tug towed the Delawanna out in
to the harbor, where several tons Of
rock ballast were thrown overheard.
Alterations were made in several Of
the sails which did not At we'll enough
TO satisfy the skipper and after the
schooner was brought back to the
dock considerable material which was
considered an added burden was taken
ashore. Captain Zimmerman express
ed confidence that the Nova Scotia
boat would give a better account of
herself tomorrow.
Captain WEIGH said tonight that the
Esperanto was ready for the second
race Only a few minor changes in
the boat were necessary today. AS
the series is for the best two out of
three, q win for the Massachusetts
schooner tomorrow would give her the
right to carry the trophy back to Cape

"a SENATORS
TO Be CHOSEN
ON, TUESDAY

. Washington, Oct. 31.-A new House
of Representatives and slightly more
than one-third of the Senate will be
chosen in Tuesdays general election.
While the presidential campaign has
eclipsed all others in interest the con-
gressional fights, particularly the SEN
atorial contests, have received much
attention from the leaders of both
parties.
Both Senator Harding and Governor
elect a congress in which their re-
spective parties would have a major
ity. The heads of the congressional
and senatorial campaign committees
have been especially active, emphas-
izing the Importance of the senatorial
elections because the Senate which
meets next March 4, will be called up
on to dispose of the question of peace
with Germany.
The present Senate is composed of
4S Republicans, one Progressive Re-
publican and AZ Democrats, which on
strict party vote has given the Re-
puDllcGHS d llldJoTitH VI WV.
Thirty four senators will be elected
Tuesday, the terms of 80 expiring next
March and two being selected to fill
unexpired terms caused by the deaths
of Senators Bankhead of Alabama
and Martin of Virginia. These two
places are certain to be filled be DEM
ocrats.
Seventeen Of the 32 senators whose
terms expire next March are Demo-
Gratis and Is Republicans. The Demo-
Gratis to obtain a majority must cap
ture at least two senatorial seats from
the Republicans. Leaders OF both
parties are claiming accessions TO
their present strength. Four hundred
and thirty-five members of the House
Of Representatives are to be elected
Tuesday The number necessary Tor
majority is 21S.
The present membership of the
House in 100 Democrats, 232 Repub-
licans: two independent Republicans;
one Independent and one Prohibition
ist. with nine vacancies. To obtain
a. majority the Democrats must gain
81 seats. as eight of the nine vacant
seats normally are held by Repub-
licans.

NOMINEES FINAL WORD

Marion, o., Oct. 31.-In a final cam
paign statement tonight to the Amer
lean peoples, Senator Harding declar-
ed Tuesdays election would turn on
two clearly drawn issues, the Paris
League Of Nations and a constructive
domestic policy. The League issue as
presented by the Democrats, said the
Republican nominee, could be summed
up simply in this question:
Shall we enter the Paris League of
Nations. assuming among other obli-
cations the obligations of Article X?"
To this question he said, the Demo-
Gratis answered YES" and the Repub-
licans answered No"
"No' to Wilson League
He asserted that the country al
ready had answered NO" and that in
consequence the Democrats had
sought to deceive" the people as to
the real nature of the League issue
by making it appear that the Repub-
licans were opposed to any interna-
tional association at all. In domestic
affairs, he declared. there was clean
cut issue between the "follies" of the
Wilson policy and definite con-
structive policy" proposed in detail by
the Republicans.
Co-indident with issuance of the
Senator's statement he made public
a telegram to all Republican nominees
for the Senate, saying that the people
everywhere must understand that
choice of Republican Senate, will
be a contribution to United Amer.

and Civil wars, were three black
automobile hearses, each bearing the
name of one of the hunger strikers.
The hearses were escorted by a
guard of World war veterans.
Not q cheer marked the process
sion's progress over it's short line of
march to the Common, and only the
snatches of music from the band at
the head of the long line broke the
silence of a Sunday afternoon.
Each marcher wore mourning
