J. R. Morgan Ltd. has a contract tosupply Pacific Mills at Ocean Falls with some ten million feet of logs and, in addition to this, will supply the requirements of the Bilmor Spruce Mills. The Pacific Mills Ltd. is taking some fifteen million feet of logs from the Swanson Bay district through M. Smaby who has about eight pow '?4 M.

The distribution from our Provincial hatcheries of millions of salmon eftfls to renew the harvest that goes into the nets; the Treaty between Canada and the United States for the protection of the Pacific Halibut (March, 1923) providing a close season from November 16th to February 15th; modernized canneries, 83 In number, and sane Federal Fishing Laws, carefully administered, are the foundation of an industry that will continue to grow.

Much as hasbeen done todevelop and conserve our fishing industry, there still remains a great deal to be accomplished. Tho vast new of our waters and the extent and ruggednew of our coast make organized protection and administration extremely costly. But the safeguarding of our fisheries Is n matter which now commands the earnest attention of our government, who realize the importance of conserving this basic industry. As the oldest industry of our Dominion, fishing has been one of the largest revenue producers, and it Is significant that Canada's youngest Province, in less than twenty years, should secure n leading position in the world market. This aggressive search for foreign business has been an asset which undoubtedly has created .one of the most amazing records of our basic industries. Well may we be proud of our Fisheries!
