AMERICAN SALMON RETURNED. 
A significant sign of what is to be expected 
is the fact that 23,000 cases of American. sal- 
mon which were eine in warehouse at Liver- 
pool have been reshipped to Boston and New 
York, says the New York Fishing Gazette. 
Such a thing as this never happened before in 
the history of the salmon business, and it shows 
that the United States and Alaska canneries 
will not this season produce aificient salmon 
to meet the home demand. Not a solitary case 
of American salmon will be exported this year. 
Fisheries Inspector Sworid, of New West- 
minster, has been advised by the Customs De- 
partment at Ottawa to strictly enforce the regu- 
lations prohibiting the export of raw salmon 
from the Fraser River for canning purposes. 
In past seasons American canners have always 
come to the river and disturbed the price mar- 
ket by offering advances on local prices for sal- 
mon which they could take to the Sound can- 
neries for packing. The export prohibition has 
effectually stopped that practice. 
The report from the Alaska canneries that 
their pack is short 50 per cent. means that the 
United States, as pointed out by The World’s 
financial department some time ago, will not 
export any salmon this year, and that the entire 
supply will be used locally. 
GROUSE REARING. 
IN a report from Forfarshire, N. B., a corres- 
pondent of the Shooting Times refers to the 
condition of the grouse in Scotland as follows: 
“The prospects for sport among the grouse 
are about an average in this neighborhood, and 
broods contain about seven birds. The old birds 
went down on well-filled nests, but the hatch- 
ings were disappointing, inasmuch as many of 
the eggs were chilled, and a good number of 
the young ones drowned. The rain storms have 
been severe and continual. During one week it 
rained for four days almost without a break; 
the tender game birds could not battle against 
these conditions of weather, and many dozens 
succumbed. I have reared a large number of 
grouse this season, but the weather has retarded 
my endeavors very much. The method I used 
was the Circle System with which I have been 
very successful. Out of eighty-four eggs set, 
seventy-six hatched, and of these sixty-two are 
at present on the ground. The rain and cold 
were responsible for the death of a number of 
the chicks. It would be interesting to learn the 
results of other preserves who have reared on 
the Circle System, and to know the percentage 
of eggs hatched and the number of birds reared. 
I shall be obliged if you will inform me what 
mixture of seeds to supply the birds with to- 
ward the latter end of the season.” 
INDIANS AND AINU COMPARED. 
A recent issue of the Japan Times, pub- 
lished at Tokyo, contains a criticism of ‘“Geroni- 
mo’s Story of His Life’ (Duffield & Co.), in 
which the writer, Mr. Yone Noguchi, draws a 
parallel between the American Indians and the 
Ainu of Japan. “Both,” he says, “are warmed 
by the sun, rocked by the winds, and sheltered 
by the trees. They believe in God. Perhaps 
the most interesting feature of the Ainu’s faith 
consists in the fact that while they are poly- 
theists, they yet recognize as superior one 
supreme God, towering above all, while their 
single word for ‘God’ conveys the beautiful sig- 
nificance, “The Over-Shadower,’ or, ‘He who 
covers.’ In ‘Geronimo’s Story of His Life’ we 
read: ‘My mother taught me to kneel and pray 
to Usen for strength, health, wisdom, and pro- 
tection. We had no churches, no religious or- 
ganizations. no Sabbath day, no holidays, and 
yet we worshipped.’ 
“Our hairy Ainu are peaceful, only excited 
in their bear-hunting; but the American Indians 
were simply happy in fighting, always ready for 
the warpath. * * * The simple minds, both 
of the Ainu and Indians, are active enough in 
their own way; they have enough to tell their 
own stories from their own standpoint, and also 
their own opinions upon matters of the world in 
general, although they are said to believe that 
silence is golden.”
