Henry Woodward is the leading man in the new pro- duction capable cast of support ing players has enhanced the making of the picture.

MOOSE TO DEDICATE HALL '. WITH OPEN HOUSE TO THE
 PUBL IC ON THANKSGIVING

Next Thursday evening the mem- bers of Juneau Lodge No. TOO, Loyal Order of Moose, will have a in their renovated and generally overloaded club rooms, to which not only are all members of the order invited, but the public in general, as well. Con- ing as the house-warming does, on Thanksgiving night, the members of the local order feel that the af- fair will truly be a Thanksgiving event as they are now in practically a new lodge room, with various ad- ditions to the general hall building, which are in the nature of club room with all of the surroundings of home.
 The committee in charge of the housewarming will be on hand to give the glad hand to all guests of the evening and hundreds can be accommodated. In the new hall, an orchestra will be on hand and those who care to, can dance. In the club room there will be cosy chairs, in front of the new fire place, and a light luncheon will also be served.
 The committee having. the house. warming arrangements in charge consists of H. R. Shepard, John Pas tel, George L. Spanfellner, James Carlson, Olaf Bedding, T. E. Hall, R. H. Stevens and E. s. Larson.
 The Fraternal Spirit.
 The new hall and general club rooms is the result of the fraternal spirit existing among the 300 mem bers of the local order. The exca- vation of the basement was done by members who donated their labor. When one handles pick and shovel and then uses the wheelbarrow to cart away the dirt, etc, giving the use of this manual labor free, it shows the right sort of fraternal- ism of the members. And the Moose Lodge is like many other fraternal organization, not always having the ready cash for improvements of their property in large way, so the individual members again show ed their zest and came forward and loaned the lodge the $5,OO0 which was required to make the new lodge room and general club rooms.
 Therefore, with all of this in

the game laws states that pickerel
may be taken by angling and spear
ing between May first and the follow
ing March first. Section ninety per-
mits of the taking of that kind OF
fish in licensed fish houses up to APP
ril first.
The proper construction of these

the taking of pickerel by any method
except that they may be speared in
licensed fish houses during the month
of March.
The limit on the take of fish fol
any one day is twenty five and the

cat fish and bullheads may be angleo
for in March and April and can be
speared at any time without limit
These species of fish can be bought
and sold at all times. 1t is also pro
vided that artificial lights may be used
in the spearing. of these kinds of fish

URGE DsONBAYRoAD
Claim Made That Railway Will Great
ly Aid Fisheries.

Iy Aid Fisheries.
The Pas, Man., March 11.-[By The
Associated Press.l Prof. Prince,
dominion commissioner of fisheries,
has taken sides with. the faction
which is urging the federal govern
ment to complete the railroad through
the wilds Of Manitoba and the north
west territory to Hudson bay. Prof.
Prince has declared that the Hudson
bay fisheries are more valuable than
the Pacific fisheries in the Prince
Rupert district. The Hudson bay
railroad was projected originally as a
short route for shipment of grain from
the prairie provinces to Europe The
plan was opposed by various interests,
one argument being that the Hudson
bay port would be available only four
months in the year.
The road was started in 1912 and
when war conditions halted construc-
ton, steel had been laid for 332 miles.
The total route of 424 miles from The
Pas to Port Nelson, on Hudson bay,
has been graded. 1t is claimed that
much Of the construction work has
deteriorated and friends of the pro-
posed route have told government Of
ficials that unless the work is COM
pleted this year, past construction
will be a total loss.
