Dry Pass has two shoals which block navigation except at flood tide stages of water. It is used extensively by small boats and its improvement to permit nayi tion by them at all stages of wa ter, it is said, would give them a protected passage from Heceta Island and vicinity into Sumner Strait.

This was made known here today by Wallis 8. George, President of the com- pany. “The bait shortage which pre- vailed not.only locally but at all other peints at the close of the season last November is a thing of the past,” Mr. George said to- day. “We are receiving supplies in goodly quantities. The fish are in excellent shape for the time of the year. We will not have any difficulty in supplying all demands when the season opens.” The local company is making preparations to fill the ice re: quirements of a large number of boats, also, Mr. George said. It now has 1,100 tons in storage and this will be increased to 1,500 tons, which will fill the large ice storage room. —rtr——— No_Egg for Wife Uses Revolver Pty BERLIN, Jan. 10—Because her husband did not buy her an East. er egg, Grau Gertrud Speer, age 26, fired a revolver at him, wound- ing him seriously. At the trial, only just concluded owing to the husband's slow ro- covery, it came out that the mar- riage, which was only a year old, had not been a success. The cli- max ecame when the husband last Easter bought a present for him self, but nothing for his wife. #Not -even an egg did he giv: me,”. she wailed, “and that made me mad.” Frau, Gertrud she also said didn’t know that a revolver, fived |' trom a distance, could be so dan: gerous.
