Bob Hanna suggested that Dun-das Island was on the U.S. boundary and would be the next area for traps. Charles Lord asked if it was not true that the B. C. Packers and other companies would be wanting traps if the Canadian Fishing Cb. obtained them. Fred Mdthers, representing', the B. C. Packers, said his eomnAnT was ho'tdlrectly' Interested .InT traps. The point that struck hlm'f wus- that the American traps took 7GO.000 fish annually. These all w-nt ur Pierce Canal to Ameri can waters so far as he could' learn, and spawned in Alaska .' mms. It seemed only right to him that Canadians should have their share of the fish. His company did not want to do any fishermen out of a job. In answer to Mr. Beynon, Mr. Mathers said it was true that his company had on a past occasion secured five sites on Pierce Canal but he did not know what the present status was. He did not think they quite grasped the situation. At nresent the Canadians got none of the fish. By putting) in traps they would have an op-j t oitunity to get fifty per cent of them. Bob Hanna asked if putting in traps would conserve the fish. Mr Muther xprsssed the op-, tnion thaf.if hey-vJIshed out every fish that 'location it would not injure tho Canadian ''sherman. In answer to Mr. Reid, and, other questioners, the witness aid the advantage of traps was that the cannery obtained a steady production. The fish would not be caught appreciably any, i cheaper. The question of conser-'vatlon did not enter It. What the1 Scanners wanted was a steady sup- were ere caught. cuukiii.
