T he B.S.A. rifle is play- 
ing as important a part 
in the enforcement of terms 
as it did in the winning of 
the great victory. 
Thousands of soldiers of 
the Allies are marching 
through Germany today 
armed with B.SJV.’s. 
MeritEstablished 
TheB.S.A. proved its merit 
in the War. As long as 
memory lasts the B. S.A. 
rifle must be associated 
with the stubborn defense 
against the pitiless aggres- 
sion of the enemy, and 
with the final triumph of 
Allied Arms. 
Future B.S. A. products 
must benefit from the re- 
markable war-time effort 
and experience of the

1 UNIDENTIFIED FISH 
A. J. Sprague, fish culturist for the 
Alaska Fish and Game Club at Juneau, 
has discovered something different in the 
fish world. It was while Mr. Sprague, 
Charles Davidson, Charles D. Garfield 
and Frank Metcalf were planting 7,000 
sockeye salmon fry in Turner Lake, 
about 25 miles from Juneau, that the at- 
tention of all these men were directed 
to this strange member of the finny 
tribe. The sexes are almost identical in 
appearance, except that the developed 
ova of the female fish gives her a more 
round, plump appearance. Those seen 
and secured were around six inches in 
length. 
The upper and lower jaw of this 
species of fish, also the head, is decidedly 
sharp, more so than in the salmon or 
cut-throat trout. This gives the fish the 
appearance of the king salmon. 
The caudal fin is deeply forked, base 
of caudal fin is very narrow, head small 
I and to a sharp point. Dorsal fin high 
and to center; very sharp pointed. The 
eye is rather large, greenish blue in ap- 
pearance. 
. The color of the fish is deep* indigo 
blue above lateral line and silvery be- 
low. It fades rapidly when taken from 
the water. There is an entire absence 
of spots, which would otherwise assist 
in classifying or identifying them with 
the trout or salmon markings in a fish 
of this size. 
DEATH OF A CANADIAN 
SPORTSMAN 
T O the many fishermen who visit 
Bathurst, N. B., every year to en- 
joy the good fishing to be had there, 
the recent death of Mr. Henry Bishop 
will come as a heavy loss. He was the 
one man at Bathhurst to whom fisher- 
men went to for advice and direction. 
Many prominent sportsmen have been 
entertained at his fishing preserves and 
it was largely because of his unbounded 
enthusiasm for the Nepisiguit as a fish- 
ing stream that it became so well known. 
Year after year anglers from all parts 
of the country came to Bathurst and 
were always sure of a cordial welcome 
from Mr. Bishop. He will be greatly 
missed by a host of friends. 
THE ANATOMY OF 
THE CANOE 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 159) 
This shell is covered with wide cotton 
duck, which should be specially woven. 
This covering is stretched tightly over 
the shell and is filled with a preparation 
that dries hard in from two to four 
weeks. Then the canoes are finished up 
with gunwales, seats, etc., and painted 
in whatever colors are desired. Canvas 
covered construction gives a very dur- 
able canoe. They are about the same 
weight as the average all-wood canoe 
but not lighter. They are tough and can 
stand the exposure to the weather with- 
out bad results and they can be easily 
repaired.
