FrHnkness OF Minds
I'VE thought the war had effaced
the legend that upon debarking in
France one arrived in a bad place.
The Rev. Stanley Fisher proves that
the war has done nothing. The fault
Is in the frankness Of our morals
which do not cover hynocritically
some facts concerning ones private
lie, whereas on the other Side Of
the Atlantic one conceals them to
make them worse We take publicly
drinks containing a small amount OF
alcohol on the sidewalks OF our
cafes, whereas the YSnkees. before
America was dry, enjoyed their vio-
lent cocktails in bars carefully hid
den from sight
aNoyv, our friends on the other
side ARE seized with n great viz
tue They drink only water and
are persuaded that the little
Eiddy girls Of France are the
daughters of the devil.
But the ten thousand American
students who. according 10 the rev
erend himself attend the schools OF
Paris, are certainly not Of this opin-

SEA LION HIDES
MAY GUT COST
Of LEATHER
Hunter Declares Material

for Shoes.

WORLD DEMAND

nRINCE RUPERT. B. c.. Jan. "a
Premier John Oliver has been
preaching the ACCESSIBILITY of
slaughtering sea lions which inhabit
the British Columbia coast by thou
sands and work destruction among the
cod. halibut. salmon and other food
fish and tanning their hides to reduce
the present world leather shortage.
James Cessford. who was once in
the business Of tanning sea lion hides.
declares the industry can be put OF
an immensely profitable basis. When
Classford went 10 Alaska for gold
during the klondike stampede he
saw vast herds Of sea Hons on the
a few miles from this terminus Of the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway. After
IS years in Alaska. he started a sea
lion tannery and made money until
he was forced by personal circum-
stances 70 abandon the business.
Killed 700 in 20 Days.
Three companions and I went on
our first seal lion hunt TO Queen Char
lotte Sound said Cessford and
killed zee in 20 DAYS. The lions haul
out OF the sea on the most dangerous
rocks TO bask in the sun These rocks
are caldrons when the winds sweep
the waters over them So there are
only about three hours between tides
when they can be hunted The hunters
climb upon the rocks above them and
from this point Of vantage can pick
them of at their ieisurs-
The Hons always look Straight
out 20 sea and never detect the
point from which death IL being
rained among them A long as
they do not catch a glimpse Of the
hunters they do not plunge into
the ocean no matter how many OF
their companions, fan about them.
i takes crack shot to kill them
Their only vulnerable spot is just be-
hind the ears. A bullet planted there
cuts the jugular vein Their hides are
so thick that they turn a glancing
bullet and II they are only wounded
they flop into the water and sink in
stantly-
The rocks haunted by the lions on
Queen Charlotte Sound are Of volcan-
lie origin and their surface Isl like
pulverized glass. It Is impossible 70
slip on them even when they are wet
4 pair OF boots made OF ordinary
leather would be cut TO pieces on them
in a few hours.
II cattle used fhese rocks a.
bedding places their hides would
be torn 10 ahreds In a short time.
But the hide Of the lions are not
even scratched. This f. sufficient
TO demonstrate the quality OF sea
lion leather.
"a lion will weigh from 1000 to
$500 pounds The hides are about an
inch thick and make the finest OF
rough leather. such rs is used for
Workmen's gloves and saddles. The
chief trouble seems 10 BE- that It
wears 50 well that manufacturers Of
other feathers buck II because Il re-
duces sales.
The sea lions OF this coast would
furnish an ineXhaustible supply OF
hides. They should be killed not only
because their hides are valuable, but
because they destroy thousands OF
tons Of edible fish every season Tt
takes 50 pounds Of fish a day TO feed
