Protests Flood 0f Power Plant On Sacred Spot

(By Thomas T. Champion, Cari- adlan Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, Aug. ill-Commercial encroachmcnts upon the Sea of Galileo. in Palestine is a matter to which Joseph A. Leckic, My. for Walsall, hopes to secure the spec- ial attention oi the Colonial Oﬂice lh particular and the British pub- lic in general.

"The trouble has arisen," says Mr. Leckie, “owing to a concession given some years ago to the Pales- tine Electric Corporation empower- ing them to use the loke as a kind oi reservoir for the storage of wa- ter for generating electricity on the Jordon just bci0\v tho lake. Dur- ing the dry season thc level of the lake is considerably reduced below normal level, while during the rainy season the lake ls raised consider- ably above its normal level. “These variations have wrought much mischief to the native ﬁsh- ermen and boatmen and other us- ers or the lake, and have greatly interfered with its amenities and sacred associations. It should be explained that the lake is shallow, except in the middle, and has gent- ly shelving shores s0 that a drop or a rise oi o. few feet makes a very great diner-once or. its shores. Much oi the exposed surface is most unsightly, and the ﬁshermen have great diﬁiculty in launching their boats, while the inhabitants generally have equal diﬁlculty in drawing water IOY their domesﬂc needs. Also during this period stagnant mols are formed which serve as a breeding place for mos-

quitoes which are a, pTincl f c of malaria and other epidemic dis eases." MB-lwlm Macdonnld, the new Co- lonial Secretary, has written Mr. Leckie that the ﬂooding at Tiber- las, which had caused damage to property, including the buildings of the Church of Scotbind Mission, has been checked. Thc ﬂooding at lthe Roman Catholic Monastery at ‘Capernaum-a specially sacred spot \ —!ll$ been Stopped. and permanent plans are being carried out by the ,clectrlc oorpomtlon to prevent its l recurrence.

I fSport Season Month Hones

MONTREAL». Que“ Aug. 10-—.r.. . little over a month the hunting season will open and the Nlmrods who have been talking about hunt- ing all summer long will soon have the opportunity to get out into the woods and marshes for their fav- orite sport, according to Mr, c, K, BOWEN. head oi the fish and game department Canadian National Rail- ways. The moose hunting season in Quebec has been cut one month and this. year hunting for moose will be permitted north of the St. Lawrence River from September 10 to November 30, south oi the St. Lawrence from September 20 to November 30. The deer season will be September 1 to October 3i in the eastern townships, October 1 to November 30. Caribou hunting will be permitted in the Gaspe Penin- sula from September 20 to Novem- ber 30.

According to reports made by some of the game olilcials game is plentiful this year, stated Mr. How- ard. Nova Scotia with its splendid waterfowl shooting and big game is sure to attract many local, as well as Eastern United States sports- men. It is certain that New Bruns- wick, which oﬂers plenty oi moose, deer and bear, as well as upland birds and waterfowl will receive its share of sportsmen.

The Province of Quebec also has a great appeal, stated Mr. Howard. The speckled trout ﬁshing season in Quebec will not close until Sep- ember 30, so the sportsmen have an opportunity or combining trout fishing with big game hunting trip. In Northern Ontario the earliest hunting allowed is in the territory north of the Canadian National Railways Cochrsne Winnipeg lino where the season opens on Septem- ber 15 for moose. deer and bear. The Prairie Provinces are usually associated with goose and duck shooting but each yesr seesagrast- er num‘ of gunners out after Hungarian partridge which were introduced into Western Canada s number oi years s80. very fast in

bring them down.

The Rocky Mountain territory ad- jaoent to Jasper national Park. Al- berta, will notice a good many hunters this season after bis same. big horn sheep, Rocky Mountain goat, grizzly and black bear. cari- bou, moose and deer, veteran ont- ﬁtters and guides for this territory being available as Jasper. Albert-a- »With these splendid hunting terri- tories across Canada within easy reach by rail where comprtent guides and outﬁtters can be easily secured there are excellent pros- pects for a good hunting season this year stated Mr. Howard.

Horses G0 Out In Old London

(Canadian Press)

LONDON, Aug. 19—W:thln ﬁve years, it is predicted, the London dray horse will be so rare in Lon- don as to be regarded as a. curios- ity. the streets oi 1040 being prac- tically entirely ire oi horses. The Ministry oi Transport is hastenin! this condition by plans to substi- tute horse-drawn traﬂlc by a. com- pletely mechanired system, and some o! these plans will be carried into effect shortly.

The busiest streets in London will be closed to horse-drawn traiﬁc in the near future by regulations soon to be issued by the Department. Already there is a device operating in Oxford Street between certain hours. Later an edict w l be issued that horse-drawn vehicles will not be allowed in London at all alter a period oi from three to ﬁve years.

Under existing tramc legislation the Minister of Transport, 1.. ﬂore- Belisha, has the power to put an end to tramc by horse in London's streets. His department, however, has no intention or driving horses irom the streets until their owners have had fair warning of the 1m- pending fate oi the equines, but ﬁgures show that already the horse is a rapidly diminishing quantity.

In i083 there were only 81.015 horse-drawn vehicles in London, compared with 210,278 in 1024,
