B. RICHARDSON • ? Botwood, Nlld. Z (continued from last week) I do not think Ireland was the on- ly place visited by St. Patrick, for a snake was never known, so I am told, to be seen in this country. Toads, bullfrogs, lizzards and such like, are not to be found. One other thing which was quite cpnspicuous by its absence is the old garden pestâ€" the potato bug. When I asked abou? them I was informed that they never heard of them. When jou hear o: a place as clean from such as these, it must be God's Country. Newfoundland, at one time, was known as the homo of the caribou, but no longer, aj this animal is al- most extinct. I have been told by the old timers that 25 or 30 years ago, it was very easy to go out and shoot down as many as you liked. Ihey v.-erc killed off the same as the prairie buffalo and was a sad over- sight of the government in not hav- ing a close season; they have now, but the damage is done. The fur bearing animals are scarce, most fur coming from Labrador. The rabbit plays a prominent pai: he.e and unless the government puis on a closer season in 6 to 8 years' time they also will be classed as the caribou. Frcm the first of Oc:- ober to the first of March is the close season. Thousands of rabbits are caught in "slips' or as wo knov,- it, snared, and sold at 45 cent3 per pair. In the city of St. John they Jrir:' 75 cents a pair.

"Where Quality is Higher Than Price" BiX ninR 18 one of th« largest industrlea of its kind her«, put up in round, fiat tins, and sold to the public at 35 cents a tin. There is one thint; I forgot to mention, which is wort'.i knowinf; is squid fishing. I cannoi explain the nature of these fish, they arc not a shell fish, as the lobster, though they live on the ocean beUs, and used for fishermen's bait. They are also caught in large qiiantitles and sent to the canning factories an^' put up in tins such as I said for ra'j- bits. This is a great deli'::acy on the American markets, known oii;.y as fillet of sepia, and which they are entirely v.'clccme to. Mining â€" an old but new industry; copper and lead have been mined here a great many years ago an>i some of the old mines are still to be seen in and about Tilt Cove in the nortli parts. Thess were wo:-ked, the markets not being very good at the time they were abandoned. But noi £0 tc-day, they are coming back with many more and richer discov- eries and in the near future will be r. country of rich mining fields. I will touch on one mine and i: will give you some idea of the wealth of mineral, the Buchins mines, own- ed and operated by the American Smelting Company of mostly Ameri- can and British capital. This mine produces lead, zinc, copper, a small •)C :enrage ot silver in almost a pure ttate. When mined, one ship- ment being worth half a million dol- lars. In the ore sheds at the poi:, lies over two million dollars worth, waiting for the boats in tha sprint- to take it to Germany for smeltinf. Now this ij only one company as yet and the future looks good. In the mining industry. Iron is also mined in large quantities. The lumbering industries, outsice tlie pulp v/ood are not great, there v.; no hard weed to spealv of, timber is ^mall, and any lumber that Is manufactured is small. Tho next I will try and cxclain in the sealing, which at this time of v/riting is at its height. The sealing fleet leaves St. John on or nbout the lOlh of March, some dozen ships, r.nd in favorable conditions, generally reach the" scaling grounds in four day:, scaling not to commence before the loth of the month. Every day the news comes into St. Johns by radio, just how the vessels are doing throufrh ijugh weather ,T-ii ice, and their daily catch is radioed in. The season's ' catcli at the preent time is about two hundred thousand. I suppose I am like the majority of Canadians, always tak- ing fci- granted that a seal was a scinl, and that was all that was nec- essary. Par from it. The seal that is caught and killed are the baby seals, or white- coats. The growth of the young seals is marvellous, gaining »Ti weight from the time boin to 4 pounds a day. The old ones are not as valuable as the young anC the old male seal is called the "Hood." A good day's catch is 1,400 to 2,000. One would hear ot them panning 1,000 with 500 on board. This means that they have killed 1,500, leaving 1,000 on the ice to be loaded when possible. One would almost imagine that the slaughter of seals every year woul soon make them extinct, but it does not seem the case. The season lasts till the first of April, the best seal- ing grounds being off the south coast. The seal as to value, is rich, tho oil being taken, the leather useiT for shoes which is much superior to the cow leather. Everyone now I3 watching for the return of the seal- ers and watching for the results of the catch, to see how they stand on the sweepstakes. These arc raised by some half dozen associations just like a lottery. Prizes distributed; are cash, the price of a ticket being 10 cents and the prizes range from $3,000 down. I have explained as fully as I can the sealing. ' Education â€" One of the most notice- able things of the country is the educational system, one of the greatest neglects any country coula be guilty oi. i feel for the children who grow up, and am sorry that his education is limited. The par- ents are only pai'tly to blame. A child goes to school if ho wants to. If he chooses otherwise, he may do so ihere appears to be very little dis- cipline, no truant officer to see thai the children attend school and my l)elief is that all this laxity is caused by the schools :being at, and run by, the head of the churehcs. Each de- nomination has its school, Methodists Anglican, Salvation Army, Ootholics. in my present place oi living there are five schools with six 'tcachci-j I.i all within a three mile l.mit. Oi course there is no government per- lect in all respeicts, ons vital point that should have the attention of the Government. It is the one thing that people are crying out for and I believe m the iiear future, there will be a big improvement. Tho people, at one time, were al- most different as to the outcome. The country has been for a number of years in a political turmoil in so far as to have no government heads for some time. Last fall brought alK)ut a new government. The peopia responded and with a great majority elected the lion. Sir Richard Squires as their Premier. All hopes arc centered on Sir Richard and the people are optimistic enough to have faith in him and believe ha will ilo more for their bc'oved Island than has ever been done before, let ua hope so, and bring the country so she will be recognized as one of the richest and most prosperous islands of the British Colonics. She can be as she has all the resources of back- ing up. Thevc arc no finer people to meet than the Newfoundlanders â€" a sup- pressed race, kept down by the meag- ;-c> wages of these large companies, that are worth millions with a petty sum of 2") cents an hour and also high tariff, with living expenses ai almoot double what it should be. Is it to be wondered why the Kons and daughters leave the country and go fa-i' afield? One company I have already mentioned, the Buchins Mines had a present given to them â€" miles of rich mining land, with no taxes, or i^eturns to the government for 20 years. No country can thrive on the like of this. I have said quite sufficient of this and trust anyone reading this letter will take no of- fence at what I have said. My heart is with its people and the country â€" a country that somo day, just like Canada, will come into its own, and I believe the day is not far away. The climate is not as many people would think. A great manv have , thr. st.me idea of this country as . tho Yankees have of Canada â€" Ice land snow- :'.x)und all the yeai- round. I was asked by certain parties if 1 had ever put a winter in thiscount.-y replying in thx- negative, I was ai."- d:-cssed as "My son. v;hcn you see a winter here, you will go back to Can- ada with your tail between .your legs." From what he told me I waa (.^.♦♦x-c«<~:-:-;-K'«x-:-:~>«X'<~K~:~x-x quite ready to leave then, bat knowing how cold some parts of Now Ontario is and the exper- ences I have had in the north country, I thought I would waite and experience it for the once. There is very little difference from the Ontario winters and perhaps three weeks to 7 month later with soring. Very high, cold and raw winds and a beautiful summer until the first of November. I have not experiencea it colder than 12 below zero, though the cold winds make up for the low temperature. So now, my friends, I must con- clude my letter and trust you will be able to wade through these jumT>- lings as best you can. V/ith best wishes to all, -GEO. B. RICHARDSOJJ..
