NAVIGATION TO OPEN SECOND WEEK IN MAY Steamers' First Task Will be Hauling Wheat from Fort Vermilion. When navigation opens on the Peace river, which should be about the first of next month, there is every reason to believe that a wireless system connecting Fort Vermilion and Fort Worth with Peace River will be established. Mr.

V. Lloyd- Owen, who is manager of the Lord Rhondda interests in Western Canada, has just returned from a trip to Ottawa, and he interviewed the Dominion government in this respect. The establishing of this connection would serve to open up the north to a marked degree. It is the intention to have the proposed system under the control of the R. N.

W. M. P. In the opinion of Mr. V.

LloydOwen the northern rivers and lakes will attract considerable of the tourist trade this year. Much of this traffic will be drawn from that which heretofore has gone to the West Indies, Jamaica, which is now hampered on account of war conditions. In anticipation of taking care of the Increased trade Peace River Development Corporation, Limited, which this has exclusive control of transportation in the Peace River district, is improving the service and adding new facilities to its system. Officials and employees of the company are on ground early this spring, and when the ice clears everything will be in readiness to commence a busy season. Mr.

H. J. Hutchinson, chief engineer on the steamer D. A. Thomas, left this city on Saturday to overhaul the engines of his steamer for her season's work.

BOY DROWNED IN COQUITLAM RIVER Six-Year-Old Aylmer McKay is Found Dead in Stream With Fishing Line Tangled Around Him. PORT COQUITLAM, April Aylmer McKay, six-year-old son of Kenneth McKay, teamster of this city, was drowned while fishing in the Coquitlam river on Saturday ing, the body being found at about 10:30 by a search party in sever. feet of water off the end of a projecting log about 200 yards south of the C. P. R.

and road bridges and close to the boy's home. The body was found entangled in the fishing line and it was apparent to the searchers that the little fellow had fallen off the end of the log and was unable to save himself owing to the treacherous nature of the current in this portion of the stream. Coroner Dr. George A. Sutherland investigated the circumstances and has declared an inquest unnecessary.

It appears the brother of the deceased had refused to take his younger brother, with him on his fishing trip, latter's pole and went away leaving him in the garden digging for worms. On the return of the elder brother at about 7:30 the little fellow was missed and the search instituted. The body was found by a man named Rhodes. This marks the second drowning fatality in a tew weeks, a old child recently being drowned by slipping down the bank near the parents' home on 1 Prairie Road and being found dead in the road ditch.

After visiting all the likely spots in in the fishing grounds two of the largest steamers of the New England Fish Company's fleet, the Canada, Captain Prince, and the Kingsway, Captain Freeman, returned to port during the week-end with a total catch of only 33,000 pounds of halibut and 13,000 pounds of cod. These vessels were out a little over three weeks and their haul was the poorest made by local boats of this size for many weeks. The vessels struck -fairly good weather and the fishermen have to the conclusion that the fish come, not there. The Kingsway's catch only amounted to 15,000 pounds of halibut and 5000 pounds of cod. The Canada's catch was 18,000 pounds of halibut and 8000 pounds of cod.

They average catch of these vessels is easily 50,000 pounds of halibut and 25,000 pounds of cod.

From the Peace River Crossing up to Hudson's Hope, in this province, it is approximately 330 miles, while from the Peace River Crossing to Vermilion Chutes is 280 miles. The company has two steamers on the route. These are the D. A. Thomas, which, by the way, is Lord Rhondda's own name, and the Lady Mackworth, which steamer is named for his daughter.

One of the first commissions of these boats when they open the schedule into the north will be to haul out 10,000 bushels of wheat grown last year at Fort Vermilion. Last year a similar amount was brought out and was shipped direct to Europe, via Fort William. It is 1000 miles from where this wheat is grown to the U.S. border. In the Fort Vermilion district there is approximately 3,000,000 acres of the finest wheatgrowing country on continent.

Autos at Vermilion. These vessels carry practically all the freight that goes into north. Last year two automobiles were taken to Fort Vermilion and these machines are probably enjoying the distinction of being the farthest north of any SO This country is so level, it is said, that it is possible to motor for miles across country.

Phone Sey. 603 War Cariboo Will Go Direct from Ways to Assembly Plant -Launching Postponed One Day Announcement was made by off; cials of the William Lyall Shipbuilaing Company this morning to the etowing to the decison of the Imperial Munitions Board to take the Cariboo direct from the builders' ways to the Ogden Point assembly plant, it has been found necessary to postpone the launching of that vessel from 5 p.m. on Tuesday until 5:30 o'clock on Wednesday. When the War Cariboo swings out into the inlet she will be picked up by one of the tugs chartered by the Imperial Munitions Board and headed for the gulf. She will be the first of the locally built vessels to be taken direct from the ways to the Victoria plant.

The vessel is officially known as hull 23. The officials announced this morning that the next vessel, hull 24, will be ready for launching in about 10 days. The keel for the first of the six vessels which the company is building to its own order has already been laid and work is being pushed the new order. This keel is laid on the berth of the War Puget, which is now at the assembling plant. The company expects to deliver this vessel early in September.

So well advanced is the work on the Imperial Munitions Board order that it is said a launching could be held every two weeks until the five hulls are all in the water. The company some months ago planned its work so that the last the six ships would be out of the yard by the middie of May. With the Par Puget launched and the War Cariboo scheduled for "salt chuck" Wednesday there are four remaining in their berths. The fifth vessel is planked and caulking will start immediately and the sixth and last of the order is about 25 per cent planked. The third and fourth boats are about ready for the water.

LAYING KEEL War Power's Birth Will Soon See Steamer Taking Shape. The Wallace Shipyards have commenced laying the keel for steel vessel No. 99 on the berth lately vacated by the "War Power," which carried the yard designation of No. 98. The No.

99 is an exact duplicate of No. 08. COAL FOR GOLDEN GATE. The barge Acapulco, in tow of the tug Tatoosh, has passed up to Nanaifrom San Francisco. She will transport a cargo of coal to the Golden Gate.
