play. Nothing but the Truth" are being held every day under the di- rection of Vice-Principal Douglas Macdonald. The plot is especially good and the whole play lends itself in surprising manner to high school production. The dialogue is witty. the action forceful, and the whole piece very entertaining.
 Bob Bennett. young business man, has to double s1o.000 in five days for his sweetheart Gwen Ralston. He invests it in an origi- nal manner-by betting the s10,o0o that he would tell the truth for 24 hours. From this point on. the story moves rapidly to the end.
 Such q condition cannot help but provoke laughter and fun from any kind Of an audience, and when tell ing the truth results In losing busi- ness, breaking up homes, love- affairs, and friendships, one can well imagine the trials that young Bob Bennett experiences during those 24 hours.
 Milton Kramer. who plays the leading rol"-that of Bob Bennett is right at home" on the stage and interprets his character with just the right amount of hnesse. This is not surprising as MT. Kramer has taken part in amateur theatricals for some time and always makes good appearances.
 Emma HiIlas. who supports Mir. Kramer is exactly the right type for the role, The part calls for an in- genue who is perfect lady under all conditions, in all circumstances, and Gwen Ralston as Miss Hills plays the part has certainly all Of these attributes and more too.
 The play is to be presented at the high school auditorium on Friday evening. December 9, at o'clock Tickets ar" going 10 be sold next week by the pupils of the school Dancing will follow the production

Still a Gamblers Chance.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enquirer.)
1t is high time that authoritative protest be
entered against some of the transoceanic fights
and against long distance fights that have
no more important bearing aerial navigation
than to accumulate evidence of the. things al
ready proven Too many lives already have been
lost in practically fool-hardy ventures. Too many
lives have been lost in ventures to gain large
prize money some of which has had nothing
better than private advertising back of it.
When one or more of these daring spirits
meet with misfortune happened to seven who
started over the Pacific Ocean to win private
purse the Federal Government is looked to tc
send relief and 100000 spent out OF the
United States Treasury in vain search So
the facilities of the Government and of several
South American States being concentrated tc
secure traces of who hoped off to fly to
Brazil, alone, without any means for communi-
eating location for making call.
1t is true that much of human progress, and
of scientific development has been due to the
initiative of private enterprise. Much depend
ence still must be placed upon that same initia-
tive But something must be done to check the
loss of human ife the lives Of some of the
most daring of manhood and womanhood in the
pursuit of gaudy bubbles of prizes, the winning
of which can prove nothing that has not already
been proven.
Possibly none of the transoceanic flights has
been essayed under foolhardy impetuosity
than the recent from England to Canada
and those from Canada to England. The late
ness OF the season Wnen tney were attempted
was a sufficient warning of the cold fogs and
sleet that inevitably must be encountered. 1t is
to the credit of the Canadians that in the face
of the st. Raphael disaster, PROFESSIONALLY due
to fog and sleet, they had the courage to admit
defeat and turn back. The same credit Is due
the Frenchmen who attempted fight from
France to the United States and to the hacker Of
the proposed German fight, who, while not call
ing his pilots off, warned them that at this late
season the flight was fraught with almost in
surmountable hazards

QUARRELING WITH DEPARTMENT OF
COMMERCE.

The Department OF Commerce estimates that
80 900, 900 quarts of liquor were smuggled into
the United States within the last year The
Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals flags the the statement as a. msrepre7
sentation, and proceeds to show that less than
half that amount of Scotch whiskey was ex-
ported from Great Britain to the United States,
Canada New Foundland. the Bermudas, Bahamas,
West indies Central America, Pacific Asiatic
ports. etc.
The Board OF Temperance. etc, says moth
ing of GIN rum. brandy. wines and beer. ale,

determine how many quarts shipped into
the United States from Canada.
Perhaps the Department of Commerce Off

CAUSE OF SALMON SHORTAGE.

An ottawa dispatch says salmon Gamers, fish
ermen and Others fearful account of the
future of the salmon supply along the entire
Canadian Pacific Coast 1t is agreed thai over
fishing has prevailed until salmon runs in all
British Columbia waters becoming less and
less
Drastic regulations are proposed to remedy
the situation, and just now, according to the
OTTAWA dispatch. the Gamers, fishermen and
Government working plans to reduce the
number of canneries and the gear in those
waters.
The attention of friends who insist that
the shortage of salmon in Alaska is due wholly
to traps is respectfully called to this condition.
They have traps in British Columbia They
rely upon seines for their salmon supply yet
they too, are suffering account of shortage
OF fish, and they agree that it is due to over
FISHING.
Is more conclusive proof needed that the pres
ervation of the salmon supply does not depend
upon the manner in which the fish taken
but upon the quantity of them that are caught?
Does this situation not make the position of
the Alaska political ring look supremely foolish

Salmon Fisheries.
(Prince Rupert News.)


The salmon fisheries situation Is one to be
studied carefully. For many years the number
of licenses each river were limited and these
were apportioned among the canneries. Prince
Rupert Board of Trade strongly opposed the sys-
TEN and eventually 1t thrown open to every
one to fish Now 1t is proposed to go back
to some system of restricting the number Of
fishermen.
There a great many things to consider
in discussing this question. II there is restric-
ton, the question will arise as to who is to
control the licenses Also whether the restric-
ton shall be in the number of Asiatic licenses
or white or Indians The admission OF motor
craft is also somewhat involved in It,
without at present expressing an opinion
until it is seen what the proposals are to be.
we suggest that all fishermen and others inter-
ested study the question carefully and make
their wishes known either through the Federal
authorities by public meetings or through the
newspapers. IT is useless to kick after definite
action Is taken.
Also 1t might be suggested that any means
of protecting the fish other than by restricting
the number of licenses might be set forth SO
that the best possible protection be given the
salmon without injuring the industry or those
employed in the fisheries
