The importance of this fishery may properly be appreciated and better known if it is realized that w the anywhere in the Unit but is served in the chances are in favor of its having come from the waters off the coast of Alaska. some this may seem exaggerated statement, but the fact is that approximately 85 per cent of the halibut ed in this country comes from of which Alaska furnishes a large share- the Pacific coast, Some of these fish shipped through Alaskan ports, but their souree of supply is nevertheless the rich halibut banks off the coast of ritory. the chief markets of does inferior article, as th care is exercised in halibut from Alaskan waters, and this means the possible quality to the con- sumer. Most of the halibut for astern markets are frozen and glazed with a sheet of thin ice. which forms a hermet ing, and then each fish is wrap- ped separately in clean parch- ment paper, around outer inmanila paper. and an ecavering oO shipped the boxed storage to Easte kets.

Columbia, direct to the East may lessen the quantity of hal- the hali- ibut handled through Ketchi- taken kan, which is the principal! centre of the industry in Alas- ka. It is mot so much a ques- tion of individual or independ- ent fisherman suffering any loss as the result of the bid which Prince Rupert is making for the control of the halibut industry, for the fish- ermen may sell their catch where they can obtain the best price, but it is, however, the concerns buying and freezing halibut in Alaska that may be hurt as a result of being forced to compete with the Prince Ru- pert companies, whicli have a distinct advantage in the mat- ter of transportation to the markets of the East. The mer- chants of southeastern Alaska who deal in supplies used by halibut fishermen will feel to a certain extent, also, the loss of trade, although it is not be- lieved that this will be as ser- ious or will be felt as much as may seem apparent at this time. The privileges of shipping in bond are such that fish may be sent through Prince Rupert to points in the United States duty free. The granting of termanal rates by the Grand Trunk Pa- cific Railway to shippers 0! halibut at Ketchikan, 90 miles distant, would do much toward insuring the retention of the business to southeastern Alas- ka, but the granting of such rates and privileges can scarcely be expected in the im- mediate future.
