He followed Rev. S. Turl and spoke on the Baptist Men's Brotherhood in Canada. The third speaker was Mr. K. Bennett, of the Baptist. Mens Movement of Great Britain. There was a splendid discussion, that was entered into by dele- gates from all sections of the British Commonwealth.

That evening he attended the fifth session of the Congress, at Wcstminister Chapel. BuCkm8' liani Gate. Rev. D. G. Wyle was

cliaiz-man. The worship service was concluctcd by Dr. Malcolm Guthrie. The theme was: "Bap-

tists and Missionary Enterprise". Dr. Williamson spoke for the Baptist Missionary Society; and one of the outstanding addresses or the Congress was given by Dr. J. B.

They had about an hour at St. Paula, and then trudged two

miles across bomb - shattered areas, where whole blocks ' of great once-towering structures

now lie in nibble on the ground. It is a tragic spectacle of war and destruction; after” awhile they went along the shore of the Thames River, and could see ships and a number of small boats a short distance away; They went past a fish market and saw tons of various sorts of fish. and at last reached the old human slaughter-house, t h o London Tower. There great heroes and delicate queens and others of royal blood have lost their heads. They went to the top- most pinnacle of the Tower, and looked out upon Greater London and were shown the prison which a few years ago held Ru-

'evening they went to the Bap- tist Congress at Westminster ,Chapel.

Sydney I-I. Murley. President of Lampoon, Fraser 8: Huth, Inc., who has been engaged in the for business in England and America for H1 years.-will retire at the end of this year having passed the retirement age of the parent firm, Hudson's Bay Company. Mr. Mur- ley has spent his entire career in furs. As I. boy of fifteen in his native England he was employed by the firm of Blatsrpiel, Stamp & I-leacock from 1900 to 1909. From 1909 to 1920 he was with the English auction house of A. 8: W. Nesbitt. Leaving them he started his own business in London and also in New York. After I few years this was dissolved and he started a new business under the name of S. H. Murley Co. Ltd which was in existence until Jan- uary Lst. 1935. That year he be- came Director and General Man- ager of C. M. Lampson Co. Ltd., parent firm of the present Lamp- son Fraser 8.: Huth, Inc

When the Hudson's Bay Company bought the controlling interest in Lampsons, Mr. Murley came to New York for H. B. C. to found the present auction firm as a combination of Alfred Fraser Company and "Frederick Hutch 6: Company, both of New York, and C. M. Lampson. After found- ing the auction house he re- turned to England until 1940 when he returned as president of Lampmn, Fraser 8: Huth. While in New York the past eleven years Mr. Murley has been active in a number of trade campaigns and has been a very worthy citizen and popular with the trade. During the years that W. Chester 5. McLure and the writer were buying furs for the Hudson's Bay Company of London,we alwaysmade it a point to, pay a visit to Mr. Murley, whom we found most friendly and likeaible. He is a thorough judge of furs and those who were in the silver fox business in the early years will remember the firm of A. 8: W. Neslbitt that he was con- nected with. He was considered one of the best judges of silver fox.

Those of us who have been in the silver fox business since 1913 will remember Alfred Fraser, who was one of the first to appreciate the beauty and quality of Prince Edward Island silvers and it was through hisfirm, C.M.Lampson 8.: C0,, that Charles Dalton. the Rayn- ers. Gordons and other marketed their pelts at such big prices. There was something very solid and reliable about Mr. Fraser and hisfirmand in later years his brother, Robert, repcscnted Lamp- son'.; in New York. He was very anxious that we should preserve as much historical data as poss- ible about the industry and of- fered to send facsimilics of prices and other details regarding the pel-ts that the pioneers marketed through Lampson's. Somehow this offer was not taken advan- tage of, which is regrettable as there is probably no more roman- tic feature to the fur industry than the domestication of silver fox here and the fabulous stories of wealth connected with it. Thus one by one those who are familiar with the pioneers such as Alfred Fraser, Robert Fraser and now Syd-ney H. Murley have either passed on or have retired from

business and I new generation with new ideas has succeeded them.

latter has interfered with the marketing program of Mid-West Fur Breedcrs' Association by claiming sole rights to the name "Silverblu". It asks the court to declare that the name lisilverblu" is not a proper trade mark and not exclusive property of the defend- ant. In addition to demanding use of the name ”Silverblu” the plain- tiff. also asks for cancellation of registration of the name as a trade mark for mink pelts and fur coats and that defendants be per- Detually enjoined from preventing the use by plaintiffs or others of the name ”Silver-blu" for the appropriate variety of mink ani- mals, mink pelts or mink coats... Our view of the above is that the complaint seems perfectly reason. able as everybody has been using the name ”Silverblu" and it has gone on too long to mark it for any particular number of ranch. CPS.

Michael Dedc-rer. president of the Seattle Fur Exchange, on a recent visit to New York, stated that ranch mink in western and north-wee-tern sections of the United States have shown a su.b-- stantial improvement in quality in the past season, on improve. ment estimated at 25 per cent. He attributed this improvement to changes in feeding habits. Where the western and north-western ranches formely used mainly a fish diet for their crops they are now feeding a higher content of meal and cereal and the result is bigger sizes and better quality. Production of ranch mink is now fairly steady with very few new- coniensun the field. Explaining this statement Mr. Dederer said that the majority of fur farm- ers in business today started on a shoe string.

Puthermore. he said,it costs I mmllmlm 01 S1500 to raise a mink and in some instances as much as Shh. A rancher who gets an average Price of 925 makes less money than he would if he were employed by Someone. Mr. Dederer ventured. The small rancher has a tough time making a living. Any rancher with less than 150 females finds it difficult. Those with 150 to 400 breeders start making money and the big rancliens do quite well. He said that mink is pretty well sold

Island Odds And Ends

Mr. Willard Jordan's successful attempt at rehabilitation of game fishing, as told in Friday's Guar- dian, makes encouraging reading. What has been done at Lot 40 can be done at many other places in

unused mill ponds are well suit- ed for adaptation to the new idea. Every stream in Prince Edward Island which flows to the sea, and up which sea trout swim each year is a possible site for a "new Lot 40." It takes little imagination to understand that this successful venture, if repeated in twenty or thirty other parts of the Province would greatly enhance the is- land as a tourist attraction. The fishing at Lot 40 is beyond any- thing expected and there are much better streams than Lot 40 on which to repeat the experi- ment. American sportsmen quite fre- quentiy charter planes for fish- ing expeditlons into Northern On- tario or Newfoundland. They spend thousands of dollars on planes, guides, food and accom- modation. In some cases these expeditions are quite arduous and made at considerable dis- comfort. Trout fishing. of the most satisfying kind, can be had at Lot 40 or any other area sim- iliarly improved at little cost and under far pleasanter conditions. Lot 40 is a little over twenty miles from Charlottetown. Those who have fished there recently have left Charlottetown at 6:30 p.m., caught a good basket of trout and returned to Charlotte- town well before tcn o'clock. There are no treks through wild- emese country as in Ontario, or other parts of the Dominion. Fishing is all that anyone would desire and there is no discomfort whatever. C O I

There are many old milldams in the Province, some of which have "gone out". These can very easily and cheaply be reconstruct- ed, and improved after the fash- ion of the Lot 40 property and undoubtedly will give equally good results. The money obtained from fishing licences would fin- ance the reconstruction of these ponds at the rate of four or five a year and it would be in the in- terests of the authorities to go

ahead with a number of these pro- jects as quickly as possible. After a year or two, the Province could I

then be advertised with confid- ence as one of the best trout fish- ing regions in Canada.

Because of its geographical for- mation, this Province has the whole Atlantic Ocean from which to draw sea trout, and the Lot 40 experiment proves that the trout will find their way into the pond when entry has been made easy for them. Once in the pond. it has also been proved that they go af- ter a fly with enthusiasm.

There are a few streams in the Province which at present are be- ing polluted due to commercial activities and it happens that these are among the best in the

Province. It would seem only common sense that some step should be taken to end this de-

struction of valuable fishing areas. In New England and other parts of the United States literally mil- lions of dollars are being spent to reclaim game fish streams, which have been denuded of fish by careless commercial practices. It will take years to bring them back to the point, where they will again produce fish. but the United States Government thinks it worth while to spend the inonvy.

It is claimed by experts that no stream anywhere has ever been completely fished out by ordinary fishing methods. Where fish have habitually spawned, it is believed that they will always abound in fair quantities. Where they have become extinct, the wastage from commercial factories has killed

them and made It impossible for them to reproduce. In this Prow- ince in scores of places. the fish have had a hard struggle to suiti- vivc because of netting spearig and jigging. yet in spite. of t gentry who resort to this illegi- al work. there is hardly a stream which does not yield a good catch sometime during the suinme'i' one of the most commendable features of the experiment at Lot 40, lies in the fact that it permits the fish to reach deep water in a pond where it is practically im- possible tatnet them. They can be netted on the way in from the see, but they move up-stream quite fast and the greater part of each new "run" will reach any pond constructed in the same fashion. The time during which they can be netted is therefore limited. Previously they lay in narrow streams until. they were cleaned out. Even only partially exploited Mr. Jordan's experiment will mean much new tourist money in ou' Province each year.
