u E $ TON
 of HONOR
hu Rutk, 0xoA4..

he began a restless stride up and down the room.
 He was thankful for Sheb's sake that the strike had come while he could still enjoy it, but for himself Even with the money, which of course would soften some of the hard spots, what right had he to ask woman like Anne Wilmot to share his life?
 ] As he walked up and down, he | glanced critically about the big, bare room, trying to picture her in | it.
 No. he had been worse than mad to dream that his love-and hers could compensate for everything else.
 His hands dropped at his side. All the eager, hopeful light had lied out for his face. He sat down at the table again, folded the let ser which he had written and ad- dressed 1t. He did not seal the envelope, however, but sat staring off into spaee-lost in thought. At the sound of something stum- bling against the steps outside, he lifted his head sharply. "Who's Ithere?" he demanded, unbolting the door and peering out into the night. There was no answer, but as he i threw the door wider something urched against him. A tendril of lair brushed his cheek. "Anne-!" he muttered dazedly. He drew her inside and showed he door to with his foot. She gas struggling for breath. He felt 1 the motion of her hands to her heart. You've come all this way alone-in the dark"
 He pushed her down into a char and bent over her. She was sor- " sight. Her hair was loosened. The skirt of her filmy gown was in ribbons, her shoes were heavy with mud. She looked up at him de- spairingly-it seemed the words would never come. She had run all the last part of the way, and her heart pounded so painfully against her side that every breath was like stab. Glenn covered her cold, briar- hands with his; warmed them against his lips.
 i Its your reservoir" she man. aged to say. They've hired a Mexican named Tony, to dynamite it-right at the spot where it could never be rebuilt. They mean to do lit tonight. You must go-at once!
 He was on his feet in an instant. She heard him cross the room then the click of a revolver being loaded. He looked anxiously at Iher but she checked him. I'm all right" she repeated. You mustn't Hose a minute
 Glenn was shaking himself hur- Iriedly into his coat. You know what it means" he said gravely, your coming to me-?"
 She looked up at him bewildered- fly. "No-I hadn't thought"
 well. don't bother your head about 1t now he broke in. Just drop down on the couch there and try to get some rest. But-be sure Ito bolt the door behind me first. Good bye"

 In the main, the difficulty arises only as to cruisers. The other types of ships are not of great con- cern as between the two countries But the British have been unable to see why the United States needs SO many of the biggest type, 10000 ten cruisers, with their 3-inch guns So far as the practical application of parity goes, this is the major unsettled question
 Diplomatic Compromise
 Of course, in the end, the whole problem must be solved by diplo- matic compromise, rather than by mathematics, for parity in practical application can be no more than Q relative term.
 Even if the two navies them selves were exactly equal, there still would remain the question oi the relative military value of naval bases, and the potentialities of arm ing merchantmen in time of war
 Despite it's complexities, there i' optimism in both Washington and London over the question of parity At this writing, it is, pehaps, the enc major project of the confer .ence which appears nearest solution

lP PROTECTION OF
 SEA HONS TO
 END APRIL 30
PRESENT REGULATION EXPIRES THEN BUT PROTECTION MAY
 BE EXTENDED

The regulation Of the United States Department of Commerce which protects sea lions from being killed, unless found in the act of destroying food fish, expires April 30, of this year. It is reported, however, that the Department is considering a new regulation which would continue the protection for another two-year period.
 Alaska fishermen, particularly salmon trollers, have criticized this policy of the government and are opposed to any protection for these mammals. It is generally under stood that eastern conservationist influence is responsible for that policy.
 The trollers claim the sea lion is highly destructive to salmon and herring, both being consumed in large numbers for food, and that it kills many which it dose not eat. Representative of trollerS who were in Juneau at the 929 session of the Alaska Legislature told legis- Ilators that more salmon were taken by sea lions in Alaskan waters than were taken by fish traps and all other gear combined Estimates of the number in waters between Dix on Entrance and Cape Spencer run anywhere from few thousand to 100000.
 Several years ago the British Co., lumbia government removed pro- tection on them and launched an active campaign of destruction. Since then the numbers in local waters have largely increased and many fishermen have contended they are being driven from British Columbia waters north.

NetU Fisheries Rulings Made By
 Bureau Fisheries

A new fisheries policy in which
 competitive canning and fishing
 would be abolished thru the limita-
 tions of both canning and fishing
 licenses was recently pronounced
 for British Columbia by s. L. Howe, Provincial Commissioner of Fisher ies for that Province His state ment is regarded as one of the most important in the history of the sal mon fishing industry in that Prov lince.
 It is claimed for the policy that lit is designed to protect existing investment, the fishermen engaged in the industry, and to conserve the fishery resources. It is designed to put an end to competitive effort by limiting gear and equipment with which the industry is seriously burdened.
 The notable features of the new policy are:
 Limitation for five years of the issuance of licenses to salmon can |nery and dry saltery operations to plants now in eXistance and where .operated or licenses in 1928 or 1929; the issuance of licenses on the con- dition that each plant will receive fish only from a designated amount of gear; failure to comply with this requirement. to result in withdrawal of licenses, similar restrictions will apply to pilchard reduction plants pending the outcome of current in- vestigation on fresh fish or freez- ing operations.
 The issuance of licenses to plants and their regulation is within the authority of the Provincial Govern ment. The issuance of licenses to and regulation of individual fisher men is under the Dominion Cow ernment. Thus, while it is not pos- sible for the Province to directly restrict the number of fishermen'S licenses to be issued in any area, by limiting the gear from which any cannery may receive fish it ac- complishes that end indirectly.

For the first time of Capt Pete Sather's long residence there the bay is frozen over for distance of one and one-half miles with six-inch ice. The op- orators in the quartz camp are completely corked up, as it were.
 On Nuka Island, where Capt. and Mrs. Sather have large fox ranch, six inches of snow covers every foot of it, which is also different from former seasons. Pete says it showed four days without letup.
