The regulations regarding the taking of fish from streams with nets are being rigidly enforced by the game authorities of both the Dominion and Province.

Livestock Commissioner V. T. McDonald, of ahe live stock branch of the department of agriculture for B.C., brings word from the East that next year's convention of the newly organized Western Canada Livestock Union will probably be held either in Vancouver or Victoria. Feeling that their interests have not received sufficient consideration at the hands of Eastern breeders, comprising many of the existing livestock associations, the new western association, which was formed at Calgary in the spring, resolved to demand fuller recognition on the boards of the various Dominion breeders' associations. Those on which western interests are not as yet reprseented at all are: Clydesdale Horse Association; Hackney Horse Society; Belgian Draft Horse Association; Jersey Cattle Club; Dominion Swine Breeders' Association and Dominion Sheep Breeders' Association.

It was decided to ask the Dominion department of agriculture to divide the proposed grant for a national fair among the different provinces for fat stock shows in winter, or such other shows as each province might decide upon. It was felt that the obstacles were too many to make a single national show a success. When Is a Feather Not a Feather? Customs officials on the American side of the International boundary line are becoming expert in the judgment of women's head adornments, and the real from the unreal can now be picked half a block away. Since the law forbidding the wearing ot feather than ostrich nlumes and feathers of domestic fowl came in force on the American side, ladies from this side in crossing the line have to undergo a close inspection in so far as their head dresses are concerned. If the wearer has an aigrette or a tail of one of Chilli wack's beautiful pheasants in her hat she must deposit the feather for safe keeping with the guardian of the American customs.

When she returns that portion of her detailed hat. is handed back to her. Should she never return it will possibly be come a curio in one or the national museums. only possible way for the Canadian ladies to prevent their wings being clipped is to remain on this side of the boundary and do their shopping here. Those who must shop on the other side of the line are now working on a contrivance by which 'this detaching and attaching of plumage may be made by the pressing of a.

spring. The long tailed hat on this side becomes a bob tailed one on the other side, and presto! a long tailed one again on the Canadian side. It's easy! SOCIAL and PERSONAL R. C. Pattee, clothier, was a visitor in Vancouver last week.
