Ox-Gart Trails 0f Early Days

LHDIGENE HAT, Alta... March 15 -—Bwaying wagons drawn by sturdy buLock teams have left an indel- ible trail, reminder-of the traffic 0f eflrly days to one oi the west's first outposts. Though much ground has been ploughed up deep grooves of “Old Bull Trail" are still clearly visible in many places between Medicine Hat and the site of his- toric old Fort Walsh. I

The ‘l0 mile journey was travelled by the ox-cart from Fort Benton, Montana, before the arrival of the railway in the "l0’s. With a guide one can follow the old trail from here to the place where Iibrt Walsh

Ruts in the trail are from six to l0 inches deep and very wide. Unit- ed States wagons were wider in gauge than the Carlaoim vehicles, and in shallow spots from five to 15 nits, made in wet weather when wheels straddled the grooves, can be counted. It was in 1875 that Major Janice Morrow Walsh built a government police poet at Oypreso Hills, in

' L ‘ L , at that time the hub oi all roads leading io and from Fort Benton, 1'15 miles to the south. Two mifes away was the scene of the Indian massacre oi May, 1813, when 1'1 drunken whisky-traders killed 40 lodges oi Indians, wiping out an entire tribe. J. St. Leger McGunn, fur trader and freighter of half a century ago, said his firm alone freightcd about 8,000 curtloads northward over the "Old Bull Trail" from Iibrt Benton every year. When the railway came the police moved from Fart Walsh to Maple Creek. Cypress Hills valley was con- sidered “No Man's Land." Ravines and plateaus covered with trees afforded excellent shelter for the outlow and renegade. Today noth- ing remains for Fort Walsh but the cellars dug into the prairie.

Court Orders Auto Plants Evacuated

(A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

CHICAGO, March 15 -— “Sit- down” strikers occupying Chrysler Corporation automobile plants suf- fered a setback in the courts fo- day in an order directing 5,000 men to leave the property.

The squatters, encamped in eight Detroit plants, panned to vote on whether they would leave by nine a. in. Wednesday-the time limit set by circuit Judge Allan Camp- bell. Contending “respect for law and order and the courts is men- acecl," he issued an injunction at Detroit providing a penalty oi $10,- 000,000 for non-compliance and naming, among others, John L. Lewis. head of the committee for industrial organization.

Lobster Scarcity Keeps Price High on Boston Market

(By The Canadian Tress)

BOSTON, March 15—Scarcity of lobsters is a problem with Boston importem as it is with fishermen in Canada's Maritime Provinces who supply this market, the world's greatest for crustaceans.

If you think the broiled delic- acy the waitress sewed you was FY1004 Just a. trifle too high, con- sult your old economic primer on the law of supply and demand.

“For? explained aleadingwhole- saler, “lobsters aren't raised like so many cattle. You've got to go out and flsh them. Go back 25 or 80 years. In those days a. fish- erman went out in Boston harbor in a. rowboat with, say, 40 traps. He would think it nothing to re- turn with more than 500 pounds oi lobsters after a day’s fishing. Up he went to the market and sold them for eight or nitle cents a

P. But today's picture of lobster harvesting is totally dlflerent. Bos- tonfls supply has been depleted. Mas-such ts fl hermell, withmo- dern gear, and with thousands en- gaged in the industry supply the local market with 1,883,673 pounds a year. Maine's supply is fast be- ing depleted and Boston hastum- ed to the still productive waters of Maritime Canada, and along these shores fishing is getting tough, too

"The men have fast motel-boats, powerhaul their tram and set out about 150 to 200". But this does not mean mass fishing, the impor- ter hastily explained. “Because if the fish man hauls 500 pounds of lobotcns a. week he thinks he is doing o pretty good job. So you can see why the retail prices for lobsters are rather high."

The importer told the story fur- ther—of storms which wreck fish- ermeafs gear and leave him pen- niless, or loss of life in garnering the delicacy and the hardships known too well along Maritime shores.

made 260 and 219 applications, re- spectively, but iolfowing the Sep- tember record, applications fell off to 116 in November and B’! in De-

SaysArmyNeecled To Stop Illegal

Lo bstel_'_

(Continued from page l)

“There has been a substantial dcrease, years ago farmers used to place smelts on their land for zer- tilizer, and I recall in one area some years ago we had 20 convic- tions for the fishing of smelts in the spring."

Illegal Smelt Fishing

Questioned about the evidence

of Etarl Riggs and Ilester Ledwich concerning their statements that thousands and thousands of pounds of smells were illegally caught in the spring of the year, Mr. Gal- lant said he felt they were not i.\1 a position to know this, and that Riggs’ testimony to the effect that he had informed the witness of this was correct but not much good as he was unable to give the sup- ervisor any names of those who were fishing the smelts illegally. He admitted that it was no doubt true Riggs had reported the matter to him. At one stage of his evidence concerning the “poeching" of lob- sters in Prince County, Mr. Galsnt remarked, “an officer in that dis- trict hes an awful time, he gets little co-operatlon from the people. while in other sections of the pro- vince, the officers get considerable information."

Mr. Gallant said the pennlis for the transportation oi canned lob- sters worked alright the first year, but that it was like any other law, there were loop-holes in it the sec- ond year.

"Do you feel the inspectors have too much work to do?" asked counsel.

"Yes, they surely have."

“ZDo you feel if the 181-0 EH01‘! was abolished it wouid help the il- legal fishing situation?"

“No, I do not think so."

“Do you think the m0v1fl8 0i

the line from Carey Point to North Point will have any effect?" “Well, it is worth a. trial at any rate." Mr. Gandhi said he was in favor of a. size limit for lobsters, and thousands of small lobsters. be- tween three and a. half and six in- ches were fished each yeflr- H9 told the commissioner, that in rc- cent years there had been little dif- ficulty with the fishermen i-llfivflil‘ as berried lobsters was concerned. They usually WW1“ not buns ashore berried lobsters.

“It is my opinion that berried lobsters are not to any F955 9K" tent fished now by the lobster fish- ermen," remarked the witness.

Other Witnesses

John E. Jardinc, Vlllll86 579m was the second witness yeilifldiiyi he denied ever fishiXlB 1°b5i¢Y5 lliegaliy and also denied ever bringing ashore and canning ber- ried lobsters. He said he had‘ b91111 operating a cannery at Crown Point, Queens County for over 30 years and lust year was his P001‘- est season, he having packed but 20 cases oi lobsters in i936.

"Why was there such a. decided decrease?"

"Scarcity of lobsters in that area."

L. 1.. Noorlan, an employee of De- Blois Brothers was then re-called and gave Commission counsel a statement of the purchases of De- Biois Brothers of canned lobsters in 1934 and 1935, he said some of the lobsters had. been delivered without permits, but he had not been suspicious they had been il- legally packed.

Mr. Gallant was re-ceiied and questioned briefly concerning the payment of costs by W. H. Tid- marsh for keeping his factory open a couple of days after the ' ‘

Fishing

date oi the season in 1934. He said the last three days of the season had been stormy, and Mr. Tid- marsh along with Joseph Arsenault, H. H. Cox and. Lloyd Cox had op- erated a day or so after the clos- ing date. Correspondence between the witness and the department was pfaced in evidence, and a let- ter written by the witness recom- mending that the charges be with- drawn was the factor in assessment oi costs only the witnes said.

Only a Joke

The witness said that he recall- ed Inspector Mchelian informing him of Mir. Tidmarsh jokingly of- fering him a. bribe, but he felt this was only a joke, as Mr. Tid- mnrsh had always willingly co-op- erated with the Fisheries Depart- ment officials.

John Rattenbury, oi the fin-n of Nelson Rattcnbury, was then called and gave a statement of the lob- sters purchased by the firm in 1934-35 and 36. He said he was not suspicious of any of the purchases being illegally packed, but added that in years gone the company hfld refused to buy canned lobsters and he believed they came from the Covehead area of Queens County.

The next witness was Ernest MacInnis, Charlottetown, he said he was a fisherman but had never ‘fished illegally. He felt that doinB away with the fall season was un- fair to the fishermen as if there was only one season, the market would become flooded with the re- sult. the price of lobsters wouid go down and the fishermen wouldimui- fer.

Mr. Macfnnis expressed the 0D- lnion that the captains 0f PM?“ boats would be men vemd with conditions, and referred to the fact that two patrol boat captains who gave evidence here, were merchants-

Outllnod Patrol Work

Daniel Taylor, Nine Mine Cieek. told oi being a. member of the pa- trol boat crew. Gull Ranser _ln 1934 or 193s. He gave an outline of the work carried on while he was e anemic-er of the crew and felt that one season was the best thing for the industry-

He expressed the opinion that all the patrol boats were effective for was the destruction of Sear. and said they were not fast enough to catch the “poachers" boats.

Daniel McDonald, Charlottetown merchant and lobster packer testi- fled that last m1 ha had racked approximately 12 cases of lobsters in the home of James Mallard. Clear springs. King's County MW the close of the early season. He said the lobsters had been 801d W N. Itattenbury of this city. in WWO separate shipments.

McDonald testified that the lob- sters were caught by Mallard and, packed iby himself. and the two split the proceeds share and shore giikg, on august 4 Mallard was caught fishing illegally. and 5°!” 60 odd cans of lobsters seized by the officers. and this was the finale of their illegal operations-

“What did you do with tilt‘ sheila?"

“They were buried."

"About how many lobsters would 12 cases represent?" ’

"About 230 pounds to the case.‘

He said that he favored a size limit for lobsters, as at a cannery he was in charge of in the legal season aibout 30 or 40 per cent 01 the conch was lobsters under five inches in length.
