Xew Westminster, Sept. 23— There is still no prospect of a settlement of the strike of the fishermen in the Fraser river, and one thousand fishing boats are tied up which should l>e employed in the taking of 1 an unusually heavy run of salmon, known to the trade as pinks. The oemand of the strikers for a higher price is based upon the price paid' by United States canners^ for the same grade of fish. South of the International line the canners pay twenty-five cents per fish, but the British Columbia canners refuse to pay >:>-ven cents. Time is the essence of the contract in the fishermen's strike in that the salmon run only for a period. If they are not taken while the run is on they get to the s]>rt\vning beds and escape capture. The pinks are a cheaper grade of salmon than the sockeye, but th» cheaper grades are all that remain (.f the once famous salmon fishery of the Fraser.

F. J. Johnson Seventh Avenue. Fred J. Starkey, the Nelson man who created "a position for hiniBelf by acquiring an intimate knowiedge of the mining resources of the Koot. enay and by systematically boosting them, had an unusual experience in England last week. Hon William Sloan selected Mr. Starkey to represent his department in connection with the B. C. mineral exhibit at the Wembley exhibition. While in the old land the Nelson man decided to hunt up his brother whom he had not heard from in many years. He found him but the brother refused to accept Fred as a member of the family until the visitor had a chance to establish his claim. Word had been received years ago that Fred had died. This was probably about the time when Fred was a&sociated with Pat Rus sell, now of Vancouver, in selling butter irrrd-eggs. They did well at this, but branching out Russel became a meat and fish king, on the coast, while Starkey built" up a reputation as the recognized mining authority of the Kootenays. PROGRESSIVE PARTY WILL CONCENTRATE ON PRAIRIE PROVINCES Robert Forke the Progressive party leader, will concentrate his efforts in the "approaching: election in the three prairie provinces. It is not likely there will be more than half the former number of Progressive in the field. In the prairie provinces ii. is assumed there will be 48 Progressives contending for 54 seats. In the other province*; the nominal Progressive candidates will be Independents rather than Forke followers. The Progressive movement has come down in the scale from one claiming national proportions to one of a nurcly farmers' party. What the Progressives lose on the prairies will be.jargolj picked up by the Liberals ami will go to offset their losses in Quebec and the Maritime province!-; FAMILY WIPED OUT BY FIKE INT MINERS HOME IN SOUTH WELLINGTON.
