DAILY EDITION GREAT THING FOR PRINCE RUPERT Fishing is the one import- ant industry upon. which Prince Rupert could confid- ently rest her future, and one of the recent events that ac- centuates and gives force to this statement is the fact that the United States government has recently taken off the duty on Canadian fish, both fresh and frozen, and they are now going into the United States free of duty. Mr. George Col- lins, of the big cold storage plant, believes this the great- est thing for Prince Rupert that has ever happened in her brief history. Its intent and object un- doubtedly was to give cheaper fish to the citizens of the country south of us, and it may do that. But the cus- toms duties were paid by the Canadians on this side, and as they are not called upon to pay these duties any longer it means a saving of one cent per pound upon every pound of fish imported. A shipment of two carloads has already been made to New York by Mr. Col- lins since the duty was taken off. The saving to the Cold Storage Company was © $200 upon each car. And it will be the same upon each subse- quent car. The greatest rival the fish- eries of this province have al- ways had up _ to the present were those having their head- quarters in the neighboring state of Washington. But there the Attorney-General of the state has -just handed down a decision that every person and every corporation in the state engaged in the business of buying, selling, preserving or otherwise deal- ing in salmon, other than can- ning such salmon, must pay to the state a tax of ninety cents per ton. It means that every eH Tuesday, Oct. 7, 1913 cannery will have to-pay this ninety cents per ton on all fish caught in their traps other than the three per cent. allow- ed to the cannery itself, and that they must pay the license on all they sell. It also means that fish taken by every other kind of gear, when the same is not directly owned by the com- pany which cans the fish must pay ninety cents a ton. This applies to the owners of traps, purse seines, drag seines, gill nets, ete. So that now the Prince Ru- pert fish men have the advan- tage over their rivals of the state of Washington of the one cent. per pound formerly paid in duty, and of the 90c per ton the Washingtonians have to pay as a state tax. What will be the result of this is easy enough for anyone to grasp. It means that the much more favorable condi- tions offered on this side of the line for much more pro- fitable investment in the fish- ing industry will be eagerly grasped by American capital- ists; that as Prince Rupert is the centre of the best fishing grounds on this coast and as the Washingtonians will have to pay a tax of 90c per ton on all fish taken in adjoining waters, they will hasten here to enter the business and boom up our fishing industry as it has never been boomed THE DAILY NEWS WHO’S SPEAKING? por panne | Go fy & SIM AAG .

(2.—An ovation was accorded Sir Gilbert Parker, British parliamentarian and novelist, in, this city, his home town, when he delivered an address to a public meeting in the armory tonight. Hundreds were unable to gain before. Congress in its wisdom, no doubt had an eye on Prince Rupert as a coming’ source from which to secure cheaper fish food for America’s teem- ing millions and hence the re- mission of the duty. Anyway, it is, as Mr. Collins says, the greatest thing that ever hap- pened for this port, and soon after the railway is in com- plete operation Prince Rupert will be world-wide famous for something else beside being its terminus. “FROM HOME TO HOME.” HOTEL ELYSIUM Sid.

Mayor Wills extended the city’s wel- come, Sir Gilbert's address was on “Canada, Twenty Years After.” This country, he said, always had been happy in her premiers, who have represented her at the imperial conferences. He praised the French-Canadian element of the population. “The national heritage of con- federation will never be complete until the Great West had added another seal by a Western prime minister,’ he declared. Turning to the naval question he said that whatever form the bearing of part of the empire’s burden might take he felt sure that when it stood complete it would be the expression of Can- ada’s duty and her own recogni- tion of responsibilily for crown security.
