Thr was followed by the luncheon U half past twelve at which all the Walters were guests erf the board of Babcock Tells About i Halibut and Possible Means of Conservation i ADDRESSES LARGE MEETING IN CiTY HALL WITH .MAYOR NEWTON PRESIDING AND PROVES VERY INTERESTING The story of what has been done by the International Fisheries Commission and of what it is proposed to do interested a large audi- ' encc in the city hall last evening when J. P. Babcoek, chairman of the commission, kept the fishermen and others there assembled for over an hour while he explained the work at length, with Mayor Newton presiding. He paid a tribute to the men who rescued those aboard the fishing schooner Scandia, when she went on the rocks and also told an interesting story of the work of scientific men in the Mississippi to illustrate the value of scientific study. Mr. Babcock said: The work of the International Fisher- : lea the Halibut Commission has pro- jresncd, steadily since its creation In the fall of 1924. A vast amount of data has been assembled to display the condition ol the halibut fishery and to disclose the lite-history of the halibut. Statistical records since 1914 have been compiled. They Include the total landings and the log records of almost every halibut fishing vessel engaged on the Pacific coast since that year. The log record Include the movement ol each veesel, the. time- takes, the lo-eaflty whete fishing was conducted, the. ESCAPED FROM CAIn! ADA POLICE Jumped From Motor Bus as he Was Nearing UJS.

Don,, .Black esesped from Clkascnla officer aawunt of gear fished each day. and the j here last night while being taken to number and estimated weight of fish Seattle from Okalla to face trial In taken. The log records collected In 1923 give the returns the catch from over 250.000 odd thousands of skates. For the study of preceding years the returns for the units of skates obtained varied from 10.000 to 63.000. The log records are regarded as repre sentative of the distribution of the fish ery. They show that the centre of risn- tng operations shifted from Hecate 6tra!t In 1910 and 1911 to Portlock Bank in 1926. It is. however, chiefly as a measure of abundance that the log records are most valuable. They show that In 1920 the a-.erage catch per skate was about 47 pounds, that In the vicinity of Taku- tat about 80 pounds, and that for the region of Kodlak between 100 and 110 pounds. The comparison to show the rate of decline Is most significant for the older areas such as Hecate. There the catch, which was 450 pounds per kate In 1906. and 143 pounds In 1914. bad dropped to 47 pounds In 1926. The records for other localities are not so complete but they show a decline. Cl.COKDS COMI'I.ETE Our market records are complete, they xiver practicality all the landings since 1914. They give the weights, classes. vessel and prices and the location from which the vessels "hailed." These records, like the log records, show that there has been a steady drift to the westward banks since 1919. The westward bank records show a remarkable Increase In the total catch despite the decline In catch per skate. The bank records from Southeastern Alaska' to Goose Island show a marked decline In the total catch and that It Is due not to a decrease in the fishing fleet but to a decline In abundance. The southern and long fished banks are becoming steadily less productive even when a period as short as five years Is taken. From the market and log records much other data has been obtained Including the seasons fished on different banks and the percentage of email fish landed. In addition to the log and the market records, valuable data has been obtained by tagging fish. Up to June 22. 1927, tags of the strap pattern fastened to fish totalled 7.682. of which, up tc that date. 971 have been returned. When the size and the high value of the halibut tagged and liberated Is considered It will be recognized that ft Is a large number, more especially as only fish In prime condition were'used.' ' '' Of the fish tagged and liberated on the southern banks In 1925 and 1926, close to 16 per cent have been returned, notwithstanding that more than half of these fish were tagged and liberated less than a year ago. By tagging, the commission has shown that there has been little migration from southern banks. The average movement ahows at the end of a year was leas than twenty miles. The records for the second year do not show any material difference. Put in another (continued on page twoi connection with a Jewellery robbery.
