 He would have the government take one or two little lakes where sOckeye spawn and prove the correctness of his theory, anG if satisfied apply it to the larger streams.
 1T do not want you to get the idea that I wish to dam the Fraser River" he said.

lakes.-Canadian Fisherman.


 Fraser River
 In connection with Millar's theory of an eight year cycle, it is we'll to recall the history of the Fraser River sockeye runs. In 1913, there was not only a large pack for that District, but the Fraser River was blocked at Hells Gate by hundreds of tons of rock from the construction operations Of the Canadian Northern Railway. This block ing of the Fraser is regarded by many as the worst blow ever dealt the British Columbia Fish ehies.
 If the fOur-year cycle were de- pendable, there should have been a small pack in 1917. But as matter of fact in British Co., lumbia and Washington there were packed 535,152 cases of sockeye, a perfectly normal year. The eighth year period from the big rock slide witness ed the lowest point of produc- tiOn from the Fraser River. for in 1921 a total of only 137OOO cases of sockeye were packed, of which the British Columbia can- cries packed only $500 cases. Since 1921 the figures have more or less cOrresponded with the runs of eight years before.
 It will be interesting to watch the catch this year, 1929, which will be two eighth-year cycles from the blocking of the Fras- CT in 1913.

health from taking an active part
in politics during the last years of
his life.
