Bhanks in Vancouver Province) We stood oh the wharf and watched a halibut trout unload It'a a fascinat ing operation, I 'assure you wonder, loo, 1 how the little craft stows away all the multitude of fish that we saw come up In a continuous stream from out of the open hatchway. But 'there they are glimmering and white In the bright northern sunshine, tons of them; 42,000 pounds, we were told, constituted the cargo. The boat was about the size of a coupe. It la the speed, however, with which this slippery freight Is handled that counts and. holds the uninitiated onlook-er spellbound. Keen-edged knives, wielded by experts, separate the fish's head from Its body, with sweep and with a rapidity that U marvellous'. In fact, It Is Just one head after another, Is an absolutely wrong Impression, MOIiLKV ( ITV Prince Rupert has all the up-tolate contrivances, except street cars, that most cities possess. It has first-class electric light, telephone and water plants, owned and operated by the municipality. The hotel accommodation Is exceptionally good equal to any In the West. Prince Rupert Is well supplied with educational Institutions, having live public schools and a high school T In 1024 a new building was completed, costing 4225.000; It .1 of brick and tile, accommodating 550 scholars. The city has a well-equipped hospital, and churches of every denomination hold forth in well-established premises. Since 1920 large Improvements In road making throughout the municipality have taken place. When the townslte was planned by the company which controlled It. plank roads were laid. Instead of levelling, as Is usual, the planks were built .tip' on' piles to gain a reasonable evenness of travel, giving the' city a rather tenipprary ap-pearnc. . '. Gradually 'hofwrji these piaktshift Jtja'ds wore ;out, ind lri -place 'Vftbenv the city, lathers have been substituting properly graded and paved' surfaces. Today wt find the plank road of the beginning has practically disappeared and In its -stead are good substantial thoroughfares. The Canadian National Railways Is spending a considerable sum, about 130.000, In making rf public park out of what has been, up to the present time, a stump-filled unkept section, which lies between the waterfront and Second Avenue. This Is the alte on which the railway company will eventually erect a hotel. In the i meantime beautifying operations are ! going on, adding a mucli-needed im provement to the appearance or ine city's entrance. The iharbor at Prince Rupert Is exceptional because of Its extent and easy approach from the open sea. It Is fourteen miles long by one to one and a half miles wide, free of. currents, with no dangers or obstructions to navigation. In fact, It Is classed among tte best harbors In the world.

The next act Is when some well-fed city dweller sinks his fork with epicurean pleasure Into the delicious White meat of King Halibut. But my intention la to give a com prehensive. If possible, but brief description of our northern metropolis. Many of us who live snugly here among the delights and conveniences of Co. Ltd. of Prince Rupert was organized In 1907. Its plant Is now the largest of Its kind on the continent, devoted exclusively to the cold storage of fish. The company operates twelve months in the year wlthVan annual payroll of 1300,000. The cold storage occupies a building of six storeys, containing 781,-000 feet of refrigerator space and Is equipped with three Ice tanks. It can a modern city, Imagine Prince Rupert . manufacture 100 tons of Ice dally and is still extremely primeval, and that has an Ice atoraee caDacltv of 2.0IM Its atmospheric conditions are of such i tons. Twenty-five degrees below tero Is a damp variety that oilskins are the j the temperature maintained the year people's perpetual attire. All of which round In some of the freezing rooms; visitors to the plant step fast when they reach this section. The ordinary atmosphere of 4 degrees above zero, which prevails outside the freezing rooms, feels like a Chinook breeze after you come out of the Arctic regions. Yet the employees look healthy and well, many of them being old-timers on the Job. One room, thirty-eight feet square, contained 425.000 pounds of solid frozen fish, piled high to the rafters like cords of wood. In another room are 275 tons of herring, packed In fro?n blocks of fifty pounds each; these are sold to the fishermen for halibut bait. One hail- but of 245 pounds Is on view for the startled eyes of the timid sightseer. Huge examples of spring salmon, spider crabs, odd-looking devil fish and other freaks of the briny deep are there to greet the shivering vision of the landlubber. (iOVKHNOIl-UKMItAIS VISIT .The company's distribution Is worldwide, and It operates what Is probably the largest fleet , of privately-owned fishing, vessels. in Canada.

The plant Is now being electrified In all of Its departments. The first unit of this system was Inaugurated recently, when the Oovernor-Oeneral of Canada visited Prince Rupert. His Excellency Viscount Wllltngdon touched the button that switched on the new power In the first section fitted for electric control. Some Idea of the magnitude of" the fishing Industry might be gi lived by the statement put forth by the Prince Rupert Board of Trade as to the .value of the catch, In that district, for the year 1924. It totals 115.452,498. Pishing la, of course, Prince Rupert's greatest source of wealth, but other Industries such as mining, logging, grain shipping, the Canadian National Hallway yards and shops, the drydock and new grain elevator, an institution that is more than living up t6 expectations all contribute substantially to the town's prosperity. To the north Is Stewart, the Portland1 Canal region, Anyox and the Naas River district, while to the east Is Hazelton, Terrace and the famed Skeena Valley; they all pay tribute' to Prince Rupert as being the "big" town and shopping centre of the region. .
