CENTENNIAL FEATURE
Colonel Moody, Royal Engineers Constructing the Cariboo Road
In 1858 when British Columbia was made a colony, its population was composed of thousands of gold-hungry men from all corners of the world. Many of them were wild and lawless. To maintain order and also to survey roads and towns, the British Government sent out a detachment of 150 Royal Engineers under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Richard Clement Moody. The engineers, commonly called "sappers," camped in that part of New Westminster where the penitentiary now stands. This accounts for the name Sapperton now given to
that area. During the next five years, Col. Moody and his engineers made a wonderful contribution to the young colony. They surveyed the city of New Westminster; started the road which is today the Hope-Princeton Highway; and designed churches and schools. However, their greatest achievement, and one which was most needed by the miners at that time was the construction of the old Cariboo Road up the Fraser Canyon to the gold fields. Today the Cariboo Highway follows their original wagon road.

Meet Makes No Decisions
Members of the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission concluded six days of discussions on important fishery matters in the North Pacific Ocean in mid-August. The 18 delegates attending the sessions included representatives from Canada, Japan and the United States, but nothing concrete earned out of their deliberations. Under the tri-partite treaty of
1953, measures were taken for the protection of the salmon, halibut and herring stocks in international waters adjacent to the North American coast. Japan agreed to refrain from fishing these stocks of fish under certain specified conditions.
To fulfill these conditions the United States and Canada must prove, within reasonable limits, to the Commission's satisfaction, that the stocks in question are being fully utilised by their fishermen. In addition, it must be established that programs of scientific research are in operation with the cojective of increasing the average yield of the stocks to a maximum and further, that the protected stocks are adequately safeguarded by fisheries conservation regulations.
The Honolulu meeting, which was held in the form of a special committee session, had as one of its primary purposes preparations for decisions on these questions. At the time of the next annual meeting of the Commission, which will be held in Tokyo on November 4, the Commission is expected to determine whether these stocks of fish continue to qualify for abstention from fishing by Japan. Canada also abstains from fishing salmon of Alaska origin in the Bering Sea.
Since the Commission has not previously been required to make such determinations, commissioners considered it essential to hold this preparatory meeting and "to classify the many difficult and highly technical questions involved."
Although decisions on whether the salmon, herring and halibut stocks continue to qualify for protection could not be made at the meeting, representatives of the three countries expressed the belief that the meetings had been of great value in clarifying the issues and procedures involved and, in this way, expediting the work of the annual meeting.
In addition to their formal discussions of the "abstention" questions, delegates took advantage of the opportunity to discuss informally a number of other important
questions which are currently concerning the three countries and the Commission.
Views were expressed by each nation's commissioners on questions of relocating or confirming a provisional mid-ocean line which at present limits the eastward extension of Japanese salmon fishing operations.
In addition, the delegates heard explanations by each country's representatives on questions related to the problems of conservation measures in high seas areas where stocks of salmon from Asian and North American sources intermingle.
Technical questions related to the agenda for the Tokyo meeting and arrangements for preliminary meetings of the various special committees were also given very careful consideration.
Spokesmen for the three national sections stated that the sessions had been of the "utmost value in clarifying issues and contributing to increased common understanding of the difficult fisheries ques-
tions with which the Commission is concerned." The following took part in the
sessions:
From Canada, George R. Clark, chairman of the committee; Commission members John M. Buchanan, James Cameron and Roger T. Hager. Dr. A. W. H. Needier accompanied the Canadian delegation as technical adviser.
From Japan, Iwao Fujita, chairman of the Commission; Commission members Kenjiro Nishimura and Kyuhei Suzuki. Messrs. Kei-suke Arita, Tohru Sone and Hiro-shi Ohki were technical advisers to the Japanese delegation.
From the United States, Commission members Edward W. Allen, Milton E. Brooding, and John H. Clawson. The United States Commissioners were accompanied by Messrs. A. Suomela, D. L. Mc-Kernan, W. C. Herrington and C. E. Atkinson.
Roy I. Jackson, executive director of the Commission, and Hiroshi Kasahara, assistant director, attended the sessions.
