Dirusing Ihe no Little Benefit For Ketchikan. Friday. December 21. 9iX Ketchikan interests have long fought strenuously to stop the landing of American halibut fare at Prince Rupert, in the ' belipf that thi would brim? Ihe bulk of the traffic to the Alaka port, where the fih would be prepared 'M hipmeiiL Thi would he ieaiiiie in a large way only u the boxen fin were shipped in bond through Prince Rupert; to .hip via .Seattle for Ihe Halern markeL i conidered impraclicabie. It would Ihen be up o Ketchikan lo provide ampl terminal and transportation farililie for prompt and regular movement of the fish, which would le quile expeiiive. if at all possible. As a matter of facl few people oulsjde of Ketchikan believe such an arrangement feasible. That port would doutdles get more halibut than at preenl, but il i not believed lhal Ihe great bulk of Ihe catch would ever lie land.-d there. Some believe lhal a large part of Ihe catch would le frozen al Ihe various plant in Alaska. whoe requirement would be aUmt doubled by Ihe proposed co?d eaon; Ihe balance be ing either handled freh through Ketchikan or brought direr lo Seattle. It i evident lhal the Alaka freezer would reap some advantage, which might outwrigh difficulties in other direction. The fishermen, however, feel lhat thi would place them at a marked disadvantage in the mailer of prices, and do nol greatly relih Ihe ida of fihing for Ihe freezer a a reg ular thing. More would be lauded at Seattle than at present, bull Uii alo preenl important difficulties and would be imposih!e had the. fleet generally nol b?en equipped with diee! engine. It would meau holding fish five or ix da longer in the -Itfud, which could nol be done afler long trip. It would mean ten day or more additional for e?ch round trip, with the extra cot of fuel and food, a well a Ih? waste of time for kipper and crew, adding heavily to the expene of the operation. It seem likely lhal, in general, fish which would not stand long shipment aHer reaching Seattle would bs lauded at Ihe freezer, other fare; in great pari bein? brought lo thi part. Step Would Be Serious One. One phase worthy of consideration is that so far diruion of Ihe matter at iue ha be?n of an amicable nature. Comparatively few American interests give any strong approval lo Ihe preenl tariff restriction, and many feel that Congress did nol intend lo place a duly on fresh or fmzn fish coming through Canada, if owned continuously by American interests. So Tar, under Ihe existing condition, it seem poille lhat Ihe regulation which have occasioned most offen-e in Canada may yel b relaxed. If, however, Canada should definitely enmmil ilself o retaliatory nieaure. it will not be easy ( recede from it Mitiou. At Ihe same time, such measure. would be likely to .arouse aiitagoni-m in the Hniled Stal. which may be persuaded but i not likely lo be moved by oulide pressure.
