Hunt Sea Lions To Protect The Salmon Leave the sea lions alone, free to carry on their depredations uncheck- ed, and the British Columbia salmon fishery would suffer .seriously, and that's why the Dominion Department of Fisheries sends one Cif its vessels to the Pearl and Virgin rookeries, west of Rivers Inlet, to carry on a lion hunt for a few days every year. This year over 1,100 lions and pups were destroyed on these two rookeries when che hunt was carriel on by C.G. S. Givenchy in June. Bad weather interfered with operations, especially at the Pearl Rocks, and the lions were very wild and difficult to reach but, nevertheless, the result of the hunt will be that the sea lion family won't work as much damage to the salmon fishery in the future as they would otherwise have accomplished, The purpose of these annual hunts is not the extermination of the sea lions; the hunts have been undertak- en for some years but the lions are still numerous â€" too numerous to suit the salmon men. The purpose sought is noit to exterminate the herds, but to keep them within something like reasonable limit in numbers and thus to protect the salmon resources, which mean so much to British Columbia and, indeed, to the Dominion. Just how much these resources do mean is indicated by the fact that, in normal times, the value of the production from the British Columbia salmon fishery may be as much as §16,000,- 000, and even more. The salmon runs are worth too much to allow them to be jeopardized by mai-auding sea lions. Alfred Wright Passes BELFRY â€" BENSON Mr.- and Mrs. E. J.

Goo^ Orchestra. Admission 25 cents. Alfred Albert Wright, explorer and pi neer settler of northwestern On- tario, and president of the American brancn of J. A. Coates & Son, Ltd., needle manufacturers of Redditch, England, died at his home 100 Riggs Place, West Orange, N.J., on Saturday of last week. Until he was disabled, as a result of a clash with Indians while on an exploration trip in 1877, Mr. Wright was active in the opening of the Hudson Bay section of Ontario. In his youth he was a fur trader for the Hudson Bay Company, and later, when transcontinxintal railways began to poke northward through the brush forests, he joined the surveying party of the Canadian Pacific. With a fellow explorer, P. Carr, he founded in 1870 the town of Commanda, in Lake Nipissing district of Ontario. Seven years later Mr. Wright was shot in the right leg by an Indian, putting an end to his life as an ad- venturer. He became interested in the needle industry and for nearly fifty years had been associated with T. A. Coates & Son, Ltd., whose plant is at 589 main Street, East Orange He was president of the Shrimpton Needle Company of England and president of the International Collec- tion Agencies of West Orange. He was the oldest member of the Kiwanis Club of the Oranges. Born 'In Flesherton, the teon of George Lowe Wright and Frances Mathilda Wright, Irish emigrants, Mr Wright was married i-i 1876 to Miss Emeline Edwards of Fl.oherton. The ceremony was attended by all the res- idents of three neighboring towns, forty in all. At the time of the golden anniversary of their marriage on August 28, 1926, the couple were remarried and there were also forty people present, but all relatives. An orchestra composed of relatives, play- ed the wedding march, and after the ceremony the couple departed on a second honeymoon to Canada. Besides his wife, Mr. Wright is .sur- vived 'ty three sons, Robt. G. Wright of East Orange, N.J., and A. Stanley Wright and Benjamin Wright of West Orange; four daughters, Mrs. Wm. Chabert of Ria Piedras, Porto Rico; Mrs. Frank H. Landon of Hartford', Conn.; Mrs. Robt. B. Smith of New York, and Mrs. S. M. Abrams of West Orange, and a brother, John W. Wright of San Francisco. Mr. Wright's many warm friends m this district were very sorry to hear of his death and sympathy is extended to the sorrowini? members of his family. A New Barley Market To Ontario farmers Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy passes the information that the National Breweries Ltd. of Montreal have authorized the pur- chase by the Canadian Malting Co. of 1,000,000 bushels of high-grade, Ontario-grovirn barley, suitable for malting, at a minimnm of 55 cents per bushel basis, track Montreal. The Minister warns that this barley must be sound, clean and reasonably free fi-om other grains and weighing 48 pounds to the bushel. This is an equivalent of grain known as "Three Extra" and should be easily obtained by the average Ontario farmer. Sev- eral OntarijO counties have long re- garded barley as a fine cash crop and it is hoped that this announcement will give them new confidence and will stimulate producton. "A price of .'55 cents basis, track Montreal, would mean f.o.b. prices approximately as follows. Main lino Chatham *and surrounding points, 4' cents; off lines or side lines or radial lines in same territory, 37 cents; Cen tral Ontario points, say from Londor to the Lake Simcoe (iistrict, 42 cents: east of that and on to Montreal, 4P cents. These would represent the approximate f.o.b. prices pfiid to shippers and in the case of barley, Iht farmer would, in many cases, be the shipper. Thase prices would apply only to carlot shipments. This offer is considerably better than pi<c?ent- day prices on the Monlreal market. Are Practising Steadily Since the Old Home Week picnic on Civic Holiday the young men and boys of town have been practising la- crosse in the skating rink practically every night. They have become quite enthusiastic over the game and hope to become expert snoitgh to place a team in competition with oth- er towns. Already the boys are showing marked improvement in their grame, and if they keep up their prac- ticing as at present should be able to make a good showing in a game. AN ARMYJF TRAMPS For years the world's tramps con- sisted very largely of middle-age<l and old men, but a great change has come with the increase of unemployment during last and this year and it is not an uncommon thing these days to see young men asking for food and shel- ter. When a man is willing to work and cannot find employment he is to be pitied. The danger to the state is that when the depression is lifted and there is work and bread for all, these young men will have drifted into the ranks of the shiftless who consider the state owes them a living. The no- madic life they have led for a year or more will have the tendency to make bums out of these itinerants. A report in the Kitchener paper in dealing with this large army of job- less many of them anxious to find work, goes to say: The jobless army or at least that battalion of it which has taken to an aimless driiftin;? th;.-...'.'out the coun- try, is a queer homogej; : ous admixture of men, There are those whose spirits are damped, whose courage is broken; there are those, they say, to whom present conditions constitute an excuse to indulge a congenial dis- taste for work; then there arc those, too, who, with a commendable philo- sophical outlook, maintain a cheerful outlook. Examples of these three classes passed in review here recently in a local restaurant, although many pat- rons may have missed the little by- play. The first man entered. He was drawn and haggard looking. Un- certainly, he stood first on one foot and then on the other, trying to mus- ter his courage to ask for a "handout.'' He failed, however, as the eyes oif the paying patrons searched him. He turned irresolutely, shambling shame- facedly toward the door. The pro- prietor called to him. "Hey, my man, where are you go- ing?" Then, in a softer tone he ad- ded, "would you like a meal?" The man, very much like a beaten child, sobbed. Tears welled to his eyes as he said simply: "Yes, I'm hungry." A second man entered. Hs bear- ing was jaunty. "Say," he said, "how about getting a bite to eat?" "If you're really hungry, I guess we can help you out," renled the man- ager. "Come on back to the kitchen.' The seeker for food, smiling broadly, followed the owner. Suddenly he stopped. . " Say," he said, "will I have to do any work for this dinner?" "I think we can find something for you to do," replied the manager half humorously. "Well, then, no, thanks; I don't want to eat." With that, he turned and walked ?ut. Two men entered shortly after. They were of serious mien, but theii shoulders were broad, chests out. "Could a couple of fellows down on their luck promote something to eat?'' one of them asked. "We hate to ask, but we have to keep alive, although " and he smiledâ€" "I don't know why." They were men of superior stamp. They asked humbly, but not cringin.^:- ly; there was no air of braggadocio about thorn. Soon they were seated, and before them were spread two full-course din- ners. They tucked napkins under their chins, and looked at each other across the table I'or a few seconds and bowed their heads.

Drivers of horse-drawn vehicles are still careless about carrying lights or reflectors after sundown. Surely these people value their lives more •chan the price of a cheap reflector. There is a good sized movement under way in ten counties of Central New York, where people are signing agreements stating they will pay theii bills promptly. The plan started in one small centre at a luncheon, and then the idea spread. Thobe who are signing the agreements say they be- lieve that paying bills is one sure way to restore confidence and put money into circulation by a very simple process. We agree.
