are looking forward to their offering
for the cause of spreading the Cos
pei outside of this parish. It is being
gathered in the mite-boxes, and the
offering will be presented on the
afternoon Of Easter Day. Money is
being earned in various ways. Some
are gardening, others cleaning yards,
bringing in coal and kindling, deliv-

done too numerous to mention. Max

the cooking of good things are fov-

matter of self-denial, money which
went for movies and soft drinks and
tobacco before Lent, now will often
find its way into the offering.

Salmon prices have been stiffen. ing during the past 10 days and pinks are now selling at a dollar,
 Salmon experts in Seattle now figure the holdover and 1921 pack less than a normal year pack, which is a good indication that January will see the salmon mark ct much improved, and every prospect that the holdover and new pack can clean up to allow a clean sheet for the 1922 pack.
 The loss of the Great Britain market has been a great blow to the salmon export trade, and al- though the export business is i'm. proving it yet remains below nor maj. Buyers have come to realize it will be impossible to buy hold overs or new pack below certain figures, and there is indication the orders will increase, say sal mon brokers in Seattle.
 It is estimated the pack in Southeast Alaska will be about 300, GOO cases. Copper river is a failure. and Western Alaska is short. The Canadian pack will be short, and so far there is no indication that there will be much of a pack on Puget Sound. Ia ken as a whole, the salmon situ- ation is more encouraging than other commodities packed at high cost on declining market. Dis patch.
