January 7, !9St. j. r. uuiiuc, me eauie "ipuiiM, wno siaieii iai summer when he tdd controlling interest iii lh famoiis mine on HudM.n Hay Mountain that he would spend the proceeds by further invest ing in this district, i. apparently living up tit that promise. Prince Hupert comes now to take even more interest in him since Ihe announcement wa made Saturday hat he had Itoughl three section of towttsite immerlv. The nr.?e renorled was low tint it at lea-1 shows that Mr. Dulhie has confidence in the future of the city. The, fact that the moribund holding eompxny ha disposed of the property to a rsal live huiues man wilt ', gratifying lo the city n a whole though it i not expected that ,'fr. Dulhie ha anything more definite in view at thi lime than speculation. ' Prince Rupert Is Logical Site. It is, but logical that Prjnee Rupert .should be chosen a the site for the Department of Marine and Fisheries' Pacific Coast praclirnl biological station. Heing the reutre of all'UritMi .Col urn Ida's fisheries, there are assembled here the majority of the producers beide many handling interest. The port is also more convenient lo Ihc natural ejement of the fihries which is an important consideration. While a biological station may wit meo.ii a great deal from a coutruclion laiidouil t'(e number of employee it will posse, it should prove a fiAH'.ier attraction to various fishing iu- iereis and will also be of much advertising value. The placing or surh a station hijre j. an , acknowledgment ofiPrince nuperlV position of imporlaiufe a fnsheffjsherie,ire concerned. The appointment of a local maiiMo the1 biological hoard vi-a a similar acknwledgment. Board of Trade Valuable Body. The reading of an annual report of a Hoard of Trade pres.V dent brings home lo Hie average citizen the' importance of the work that te being carried out by that organiiation not only for the benefit of its own businessmen members but for the .community and district at large. The efforts of the Prince Jluperl Hoard of Trade during have h?en diverse indeed and have been resultant in no small measure of results. The organization ha functioned in a manner that no other body ha done and it work ha been very essential, 'Without the Hoard of Trade Prince Hupert might not possess many thing today that she ha. It i aii institution that may nol be appreciated very greatly while il N alive but once let It die and it would be greatly misled. While there was a large increase in membership of the board lal year, Ihere are still many persons in the city who are deriving benefit from it but are not contributing very materially to its upkeep. The citizen of Prince Hunert hould he solidlv hehiml ih Hoard of Trade and the best way of show ing support i by joining u. uifl larger its membership the greater wilt be it- influence also. The most of the member consider their j early fees money very welt spent productive f indirect returns in a measure that far exceeds the investment. i Ketchikan Paper Shows Its Hand. title the Ketchikan Chronicle 'defends the 2c tariff on Can. adian. halibut entering Ihe United Slates and say that ths tariff nas i,c?u of much . benefit to-the American fishermen, it is Mill a a n-i-ineu nere inai uie same .mencan -fisherman are agitating Mmugiy lor removal or the tariff.

In fact, thft general belief here Is that Ketchikan do- not believe inai such would benefit American fishermen. To hack that as sumption, we have Ihe statement of American fishermen them-ees on the question. A Mjuiificant point in the course of tbf recent discussions, on the closing- of the jKrt of Prince Hupert to American fishermen was the opposition of members of lh Deip Sea Fishermen' Union to the measure on the grounds that ii wiMiiu ue working a nartlsnlp on American fishermen.
