Waterfront Whiffs Labelling Salmon at Prince llupert-Camosun Back On -Run Bella Coola to New York by Canoe sary apologies to (.he halibut is probably the best known product of British Columbia's waters, tn cans it travels abroad year after year, sustained by its gastron-cmic appeal and the bright labels that are wrapped about iU metal containers. And that brings us to the crux of things labelling. Prince Rup?rt has a labelling industry that this season alone has accounted for almost 70,000 cases and will put stickers on another 5,000 cases before it is finished for the season. A case, incidentally, contains 43 one-pound cans. Labelling of all salmon cans in the Prince Rupert area Is j done by Wells (P.R.) Ltd., whose parent company, Wells Ltd., Vancouver, labels the salmon pack for all of the companies except the Canadian Fishing Co.. which does its labelling privately. At present, Wells IP.R.) Ltd. Ls -working at the Canadian government elevator where, so far this season, 30,000 cases have been labelled for Nelson Bros. Another 10,000 cases are still to be done. With two labelling machines in operation, labelling crew? finished three weeks ago ! v fVirt CVaaha t, I 1 1 r vii. mc ujitcua ruvcr, wjiere mey The saga of salmon fishing a story rich with the dramatic elements of danger and conquest of the elements has been told many times, often in ithis col- j , limn, and the processes 01 canning are not exactly un-i: ; known but there is a phase of the salmon fishery, jj i which is part of the life of Prince Rupert, that is rela- Bi B ' B !

Bl The salmon with any neces- ence to the sales organizations of the big Alaskan canners who could have their packs labelled and stored in bond here until required, for shipment. The mat ter of sampling should cause little difficulty, he believes, because samples could be sent as read ily to American government inspectors at Seattle as Canadian samples are ncr sent to Vancouver. At present, he says, salmon storage facilities at Seattle are stretched to their limit and there is a large back-up of canned salmon in Alaska. Labelling done in the govern ment elevator warehouse for Nelson Bros. Included 2,500 cases of sockeye, 10,000 cases of coho, 10,000 cases of pink and 13,000 cases of Keta, An additional 9,000 cases of sockeye and 1,000 cases of pink were labelled at the CN.R. dock warehouse where it was stored because the elevator shed could not hold the whole amount to be labelled here. Incidentally, Mr. Whalen says, practically the whole of th's year's Skeena pack is destined for the domestic market, much of it .going to eastern Canada. Back on her regular run after being out of service for three weeks for annual ovehaul, the Union steamer Caraosun docked did 35,000 cases at Inverness and ihefe at 8:30 Friday morning North Pacific canneries. This, of northbound for Ketchikan, Pet-course, was only a fraction of jersburg and Wrangell.

The Camosun was about 100 cases an hour. The under command of her regular cans are taken unlabelled, from skipper, Capt. Harry McLean, the unsealed cases, run through The Chilcotln, which replaced the machine, re-packed and re- tne Camosun for the last three sealed and piled ready for ship- weeks, is now in dry dock for ping.

B 1 As well as being labellers, Wells Ltd. are also authorized government samplers, and out of every "code" or day's pajk from the cannery, a number of sample cans must be taken at random and sent to the government In spection laboratories at Vancouver where Its quality Is Inspect ed. Each can in a given day's pack Is marked with a company ; code which tells the day It was packed, the kind of fish inside the can, and where the fish was caught. In the sampling process, about 3 cans out of every thousand are sent down for laboratory inspection to assure thar the fish is up to the government standard of quality. Harold Whalen, local manager of Wells Ltd., sees an opportunity for the labelling and storing of Alaska salmon ln bond at Prince Rupert. This port, he says, has more than adequate storage facilities, which could be put to use for the benefit of Prince Rupert and with added convenl- Iow Available! LOOK FOR THE NEW RED AND WHITE GOLD SEAL LABEL 1 1 of the Canadian Pacific coastwise service will be berthing again at the provincial government dock for the first time In years They have not been seen there since early ln the war when the waterfront space was needed for naval and other purposes connected with defence. The Northland Transportation Co. has changed its route in northern waters, calling at Sitka first, after Juneau, rather than Haines. The steamer Alaska will sail directly from Juneau to Sitka, then up to Haines, from there to Skagway and then back to Juneau. A a result of the recent mishap to the Union Line steamer Chelohsln, the vessel will be out cf service for about three weeks, that much time being necessary for repairs and annual overhaul. The Chelohsln, when she swung on a submerged rock near Min-, strel Island, damaged rivets,! propeller and a seam. The Car- dena will take her place for the time being with the Catala back on the Vancouver-Bella Coola- Prince Rupert route. The suggestion has been heard that for the protction of steel-heads, the present closed season, December 1 to 31, be extendd to a two-month Priod, December 1 to January 31. It may be con sidered. -.Early next year the largest motor liner ever built ln Sweden will start, her schedule between New York. and Oothenberg. She! Is called the Stockholm, is 525; reet long, 11,000 gross tonage, and has yacht-like lines, Her speed will be 19 knots. There are many new features embodying passenger comforts and conveni ences for officers and crew. Her lines are sleek and modern. She has a raking stem and a long after-body with cruiser stern. ALASKA CANNING REGULATIONS I'LANNEI) a code for the regulation of salmon canneries is coming up for study in Juneau during the' first week of January with the public Invited to attend all the hearings, which wll) be prelimi nary to the formulating or a safety and sanitary constitution, Announcement was recently made by Henry Benson, the territorial commissioner of labor. Whatever Is to be done will apply, or course, to Alaska only. Mr. Benson admits that safety measures for the workers are not up to the standards of modern industrial processes which means reduced manpower and Increased expense to the canners. Mat ters to be Investigated will in- 1 elude problems such as water : supply, housing for employees and the disposal of waste. One million feet of pulpwood logs, assembled here during re- t cent weeks from the Crawford i Moore Logging Co. operation at 1 Khutzamateen Inlet in the Naas River area, was contained ln a flat raft with which the Pacific Mills tugboat Wireless left here early yesterday afternoon for Ocean Falls. The raft contained 22 sections which had been brought here by the smaller tugs I C. R. C. and Phlppen.
