Waterfront Whiffs Halibut Fishing Season Closes; George Frizzell New Boat; Float Contract is Source of Gratification This Indicates that the fishing boat operators, particularly me Americans, took advantage to a gfeater extent than ever before of Prince Rupert's strategical position for the handling and shipping of their product. The result was that Ketchikan, lacking a transcontinental railway, and Seattle, located too far away from the fishing grounds, both lost ground in any aspirations they might have to su-. premacy as halibut shipping ports. This has been in spite of more or less sporadic campaigns that have been maae by eitner port to eimm lnate Prince Rupert from compeU lout port oi tne r acme coast.

TORONTO VANCOUVER (TlMHN.N.B, M Has The year's production assured of being about one million pounds ahead of 1928, as far as landings at the port of Prince Rupert are concerned, the gain being due to increased American landings with the volume of Canadian landings about on a level with last year, the 1929 halibut fishing season on the Pacific coast closed yesterday. Landings are expected to be very heavy during the first two or three days after the closing of the season, but it is anticipated that by next Friday all boats will be accounted for and the last fish in. Preliminary figures indicate that Prince Rupert will be the only port on the coast to show an increase In landings over 1928, Seattle and Ketchikan, the two other principal landing DOlnts showing decreases. Bill ShrubsaU, announcement of the taking over of whose premises on the government wharf by the new co-operative fisheries concern was made this week, is now in Victoria, where he is identified with the staff of the newly established cold storage plant.

Without desiring to boast unduly, it is at least significant that sixteen Norwegian Rap delsel engines, which have been considerably advertised in The Dally News during the past few weeks, have been sold locally already. This Is a record which other engine dealers might well envy. Most of the engines which have been bought will go into trolling boats, while a 35 h.p. motor has been purchased by Rupert Marine Products for a new boat it is reported that company wllll build. Installation of Rap engines locally will be carried out by Arnt Solnelm, who has opened up a new machine shop on the Pacific Salvage Co.'s wharf.

Doc's Birthday "Seventy years and all's well," our old friend Doc Clapperton may say as he receives the hearty congratulations of many friends on having attained that anniversary of his birth on Wednesday of this week. The beauty of the thing is : that the years are passing so light- ' 1 ly over the head of this popular citizen that he almost seems to be getting younger day by day than older. In any case, appearances are that he should still have a goodly number of anniversaries ahead of him and all will Join In hoping that such will be the case. The only thing that troubled Doc1 this birthday was that the blessed ' old Princess Mary had to come in Just at the dinner hour, thus incon- venienclng plans for an adequate! birthday party which friends had arranged in his honor. Needless to I say, of course, he got there late.' The festivities were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Mitchell where Doc was presented with a handsome bathrobe by the Presbyterian Church choir. The last twenty years of his life, Doc lias lived In Prince Rupert and he can qualify as one of the most esteemed of Prince Rupert's old-timers.

The party found a number of other nuniing parties there, including some from Anyox and Alice Arm.

Library Board May Be Illegal Matter Referred To Secretary l'ubllc Library Commission at Victoria of The question arose at the meeting of Uic Prince Rupert Library Board last night, President Black in the chair, as to whether the board was improperly constituted and had been so since its formation a number of years ago.
