*s this paper sees it is to regu
.a.e the number of hours ;he
'traps are allowed to fisl. daily.
To attempt to put the traps out

go back to the days of hand
labor as compared with mach

may be raised against the traps
in this respect will apply eq

mechanical device which must
supplant labor to a greater or
lessor extent Senator Suther
land used to see gravel thawed
in hi- district by the use of the
open fire alone, now all of ij.
is done by steam. Would he
favor the abolition of the steam
thawer because it puts men out
of employment and because it
v, ill lend to work out the gold
deposit- sooner than the old
■method*? The trouble is that
it is too easy to attack an in
