1909] Completion of Fishery Report 



In memory of first Legaie a head chief died a long time before First 

 the white people came and also three other head chiefs named Legaie 

 Legaie, also Paul Legaie, a head chief of the Tsimpshans nation 

 who died a Christian at Port Simpson B. C. Jan. 7, 1891, aged 

 45 years. Paul Legaie said the day before he died to his people 

 one thing I hope, I would like to die in a lonely place so no 

 one would see me and I hope my people will not find me for five 

 hours for I think I should be in heaven by that time, and if 

 they find my body after that, they can do as they will. His 

 body was found eight hours after. God gave him more than 

 he asked for. 



Returning with me to Stanford at the end of the Prince 

 summer, Dr. Prince and Mr. Francis H. Gisborne, 

 the charming and scholarly Parliamentary Counsel 

 of Canada, spent a month or so at the University. 

 We now completed a series of regulations to be sub- 

 mitted to the two governments for joint approval; 

 this document consisted of sixty-six articles covering 

 all matters of importance concerning boundary fish- 

 eries and their conservation. 



Our report ready, we proceeded to Washington, 

 where we found Bryce eager and interested so 

 much so that he asked us not to affix our signatures 

 until late at night, when he could escape from an 

 official dinner at the Embassy and be himself a wit- 

 ness. I have already mentioned the remarkable re- Bryce and 

 semblance in personality and to some extent in Mutr 

 appearance between John Muir and James Bryce 

 the same racial type, the same tremendous interest 

 in nature and humanity, although Bryce dealt mainly 

 with men, nationalities, and nations, and Muir, 

 "treading the Earth's crust in reverence," with can- 

 yons, waterfalls, glaciers, trees, and birds. 



The report duly signed, its regulations were at once
