For the present, however, the inves- tigators currying on the work express no opinion as to its prob- able results. Previous study has shown that sockeye which have been trans- formed by some chance into a landlocked Ash will reproduce their kind but their kind ls a small, stunted fish, of say, only six or eight inches in length. But will the rule work the other wayT Or, to phrase the ques- tion diiferently, will young ko- kanee go to sea if given a chance and then, when they have come to maturity, reproduce sockeye such as are born from the nor- mal sea runsT It's a question of importance, for kokanee themselves are of practically no commercial value but success in the present ex- periment would make them worth a good deal, indirectly, since the sockeye salmon of the sea is one of the most valuable Canadian fish. )Vhat's Being Done The experiment which Canada has begun is being conducted in the Cultus Lake area of British Columbia, and the Fish Culture Branch of the Dominion Depart- ment of Fisheries and the Bio- logical Board of Canada, which operates under the control of the Minister of Fisheries, are co- operating in the undertaking. A few weeks ago the sta(T of the fish hatchery at Nelson col- lected some 300,000 kokanee eggs in Redfish and Kokanee Creeks, which are tributaries of Kootenay Lake, snd transferred them to the Smiths Falls sub- hatchery in the Cultus Lake dis- trict. The eggs will hatch out at Smiths Falls next spring and the fry will then be placed in retain- ing ponds where they will be held until the spring of 1934. Then they will be marked and set free in Sweltzer Creek which leads to the Chilliwack River and thence on to the sea. Two years after that it will be time for them to return to Sweltzer Creek and spawn, if they are to behave like normal sea sockeye, for salmon come back from the salt water to spawn in the same stream where they themselves were born. A careful watch will be kept or these marked koka- nee, and, although the layman, of course, is not familiar with the practice, the plan followed in work of this kind makes it a comparatively simple matter to maintain an eificient watch by utiBzing a series of "fences" whereby fish may be held for ex- amination as they ascend a spawning stream. Then, when it is seen whether or not the marked koksnee fry went seaward and returned a- gain to spawn like normal sock- eye, it will be possible to form at least s tentative opinion ss to the likelihood that the kokanee can be made an eA'ective agency In increasing the British Colum- bia sockeye stocks. It may be, of course, that the present experiment will not be conclusive. I"urther investiga- tion may be necessary before positive conclusion can be reach- ed, but the expense entailed is negligible as no additions to the regular stafi'5 or equipment of establishments concerned will be involved. sg &ustsevwvwtp-vw&t&&&w~~&t&s&tss&&ntds&&t&sve&tktpetvk&- u&v &&u&t&s~ A I ROql kROUq NLW YFAR I I A Happy New Year I JEFFERIES'UPERIOR MEATS Gtovernment Inspected Only ",TURKEYS - GEESE - DUCKS - CHICKENSmith 's Grocery THE RED AND WHITE STORES Itm&lilvely no cold ntnrage birds Your Choice of 400 of ihe fhnicsnt Birds BASIS, hulf or whole.

Mayor E. H. Bridgmsn report- ed to the council that on the date mentioned the Harbor Commis- sion placed a rope across the Low Level road west of St. David's Avenue snd stopped use of the highway, allowing access only to those who signed a per- mit. "In doing so, the Harbor Board was guilty of trespass, its action being illegal and high- handed," declared the mayor. "It showed a dishonest intention to take something which belongs to the city and which cost 052,000." He also declared "that the board's action leaves no doubt that if it could, it would steal this road and take ft from the city. As this is 1 legal matter, I recommend that this City CouncB instruct the solicitor to take immediate action to protect the city's rights." bfayor Bridgmsn explained to the council that on December 12 all persons desirous'f making use of the road hsd to sign a form "applying to Vancouver Harbor Commissioners for per- mission to enter upon and trav- erse their waterfront roadway from Esplanade to Moodyville, North Vancouver." The name of W. J. Enwright, acting secre- tary of the Harbor Board, was attached to the form. Commenting on the situation, Mayor Bridgman stated that the Harbor Board has nearly one and a half miles of waterfront, not improved, on which the city loses more than 660,000 a year in taxes. The city gave four street ends to the Harbor Board and granted it the right to build a tunnel under Esplanade. The city expended 68000 on a water- msin to serve the area and 652,- 000 on the concrete highway known as the Low Level road. "If I had known in time that a rope had been placed across the road, I would have ordered the chief of police to go down there and cut it," declared the mayor. "I can not understand why this was done, unless it was sn attempt to establish legal ownership of the road. This «dll have to be fought to the last ditch."
