V. How the North Pacific salmon fights its way to spawning grounds sometimes as far as 2,000 miles upstrmm is one of’ nature's abiding miracles. Fed by snows high in the mountains above, the rivers cascade down to the sea through deep chasms, narrow gorges and echoing canyons. Up these the salmon must travel. Sometimes, before falls that cannot be jumped, he hurls himself against the mass of falling water, and using tail, fins and gills, Sterally "swims“ up the falls, He will succeed, or die in the attempt. By forcing the salmon to surmount such obstacles, nature seems to have deliberately set out to exterminate it. Yet so strong is the spawning instinct, she salmon survives. For commercial canning, salmon are caught at file peak / of physical perfection. A FAVORITE BRITlSl-i COLUMBIAl PACKERS ummzo - Vancouver, B. c.

C. Ballantyne, acting Progressive Conservative leader in the Senate, today urged. that the Government cancel its contracts to bulldTrlbal destroyers in Halifax. Whil he did not pose as an author ty on naval construction he said when he was a member of the Montreal Harbor Commis- sion “many years ago" he had accompanied the late Hon. L. P. Brodeur then member of theLlb- eral overnment, to where the question of such naval ships in Canada was surveyed. It was agreed the cost would be too great. During the resent ‘ the Senator said . G, Mills, Detpultg’ Naval Minister, had said tho - ' tor four years one of the Tribal destroyers built in Canada was now in commission at a cost (I $8,000,000. The same type of de- stroyer, according to the Deputy Minister, could have been built in the United Kingdom for 83,- .000. “I am under the impression that three or foul: more of this class of destroyers are to be con- structed (in Canada) and I do hope the Government will cancel the contracts," Senator Ballantyno said. "Most of our destroyers and cruisers have been either bought from the United Kingdom or re- ceived from that country as a free gift. The two destroyers that arrived on the Pacific Coast a tew days ago are much more mod- ern than the Tribal destroyers bo- lng built at Halifax one of which has already been finished. "For that reason and for the sake of economy the Government would he well advised to proceed no further with construction of that class of vessel, Many mil- lions of dollars could be saved there." » Plaaiis Guilty of Ilurdsr WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.
