It is very gratifying to local people that such good use is being made of the big yard, although, of course, it could handle ten times the work if it were fortunate to be able to obtain it. The outlook is that operations may continue on comparatively as large a scale even into summer. There are five new construction jobs in progress at this the Canadian .National Coast time besides the reconditioning of steamship to ply between Prince the steamer Prince William and Rupert and Skeena and Naas River overhaul of many fishing vessels i cannery points In freight and pas- in preparation for the coming sea son's activities. j Chief among the construction I jobs are the steel tug and barge for ' use of the Canadian National Rall-: ways on Okanagan Lake, fabrication of which is now getting started after considerable delay owing to failure of the steel material to each here on time. Under the .big shipshed, frame work of the tug, including the steel ribs, is now being erected. Soon work on the barge will start. Both craft will be taken knockdown on railway cars to Kelowna, where they will be reas-J lembled, workers of the local yard ' ;oing south to do the work. It wBl ; be well along Into summer before ; this job Is complete. Capt. Pete Thompson's new 54- foot halibut boat Is now in process .of being planked up. While it is understood that a Gardner diesel ;nglne is to be placed In this vessel, apparently a final decision has not yet been made. It will probably be a couple of months before the boat Is ready. Johnny- Eyolfsen's new 41-foot trolling boat is rapidly n earing completion. In it is to be installed a 20 h.p. Vivian engine which is expected to be on hand within a week's time. This is going to be one of the finest looking trolling boats in these parts. , Lines have been laid for the new 37-foot fish packer for the Canadian Pish it Cold Storage Co., the contract for which was recently award- id to the yard.

The big job on the vessel has Included the complete gutting out of the ship, only the engines not being interfered with, and new accomodation for rassengers -and freight holds has been btdK throughout. The inly housing above and open to the deck is the pilot house forward and i a neat combination observation-smoke room aft. Everything is built In below with portholes flush j to the sides. This should fit the vessel well for operating in rough' waters. Further advantages arej her snappy speed and shallow draft When complete, and there is not! much more to do in the way of ac-1 tual construction, she should prove jo be i well appointed, comfortable and seaworthy little craft. Fur-1 niihings have yet to be installed. 1 No work has yet been done on the j two big Canadian National Steam-1 Seigneur and Oanadlan Winner, which have been tied up at the yard, since last fall with Capt. N. P. Hocking of the Winner and two nates standing by. steam having oeen blown down in the vessels. Before they are recommissioned In jervlce In the spring, it is understood that both ships will be given a general overhaul here. Meantime, the yard Is quite busy m the work of overhauling smaller craft. The halibut boats Tramp, Ternen, Embla, P. Dorreen, Helge H. and Pair of Sacks are among the fishng vessels undergoing repair In terial is being awaited before con-, wclpatton of the forthcoming struction can start. The vessel will be a sister ship to the Chief See-gay, which was built for the company last year, and will be equipped with a Fairbanks-Morse full diesel engine. The big reconditioning job on the 3teamer Prince William, which has occupied several months' time, is now about completed and the ves sel will soon be ready to enter serv ice.

The noted boat Kelpie, formerly owned by the late William Schelim and now the property of Tony Coco of Seal Cove, is also undergoing work at the dock to fit her for service as a trailer. Tom Dybhavn's boat Palander is another vessel undergoing general overhaul. The forestry boat Lillian D. was hauled out of the water onto the pontoons on Thursday for cleaning, painting and general repair. She will be on the dock for about a week, It is expected. Fishermen's Floats Work having now been instituted by the contractors, John Currie & Son. the new fishermen's floats, being constructed just east of the drydock by the federal department of public works, will soon commence to take definite form. Part of the ramp from the railway grade is now built and the pile driver Js on the scene ready to put down the dolphins to which the floats will be moored. Then actual float construction will be able to be proceeded with. All material is on the ground. It is to be hoped that, by the time the floats are ready or not so very long afterwards, the necessary arrangements will have been made to have the connecting road down the east side of Hays Creek constructed. There has been a slight slowing up In preparatory work following the decision of the boat owners all along the coast to defer commencing of halibut fishing operations : this year until two weeks after the I legal opening of the season on February 16. Now that the fishermen themselves have taken the initiative in this matter, the authorities should not hesitate longer In ex- ! tending the close season under ln-I ternational agreement for the extra . two weeks as has already been pro- I posed by them It Is a wise move If j for no other reason than the fact that weather the latter part of February Is usually very rough, oftcn making .fishing nigh, impossible and endangering the lives and property j of those who venture on the deep I at that time. There may also be the reason, as has been suggested, I that It may tend to prevent an early season glut of fish on the market, 1 although it is a little difficult to understand just what is meant by , that, for it would seem probable ... ... . ' A I 1 I 1 m I wiai, nu maiier on wnai aaie nsn-ing should start, the boats would pretty well always go out together and return around the some time, J throwing the same quantity of fish , if not more on the market, From , the other standpoint, however, it is certainly an excellent move, should do no harm to any one and might well be made a permanent innovation. , Resurfacing of the raid to the drydock by application 'of dirt and ! gravel is now being carried out. The j rains of the winter have played havoc with the surface of the road and the Improvement is welcomed by motorists if by no one else. Salmon Regulations Prinoe Rupert and Northern British Columbia salmon fishermen have not only protested against the proposed regulations of Hon. S. L. Howe, provincial commissioner of fisheries, to govern salmon fishing on the coast, but have offered this week what should prove to be an effective list of proposed fishing measures to take the place of the offending Howe pronouncements In doing so, the salmon fishermen not only demonstrated their own initiative but also their willingness to undergo considerable sacrifice to the end that conservation of the fish may be effected. Their outstanding proposal Is that the legal length of all gill nets and seines should be reduced from 300 to 176 fathoms. Such a measure would, no doubt, -ut down the catches greatly mod allow a great deal more of the fish .3 get lij to the spawning grounds. There are none who know this better i'aan the fishermen, and b$-:auie of this, they have been receiving general commendation (or the d.uUs proposal which might be .xpe-Jted to have considerably ad-e:-sc effect upon them. The flsh-snuen see in the proposal of Mr. Howe to limit cannery licences to those existing now and in the plan 1 of allotting a limited njunper of fishing licences to each cannery and no more the threat of a monopoly such as they have for years fought against, receiving the fairly consistent support of at least the Do-1 minion authorities In that fight.' And it will be over the dead opposition of the fishermen that such regulations would be ever Invoked. They have signified their intention of fighting them to a finish. The substitute regulations proposed by the fishermen may bear repition here. They are as follows: First, that the length of gill nets in district No. 2 be reduced from 200 to 176 fathoms; second, that seines be of uniform 178 fathoms length; third, that drag semes be abolished altogether; fourth, that seventy-five per cent of all salmon eggs that were formerly taken from the Skeena to the Fraser River for propagation purposes be again removed but transplanted In creeks of the central Interior and Queen Charlotte Islands; fifth, that obstructions, such as concrete blocks, be placed at fishing boundaries In creeks to Drevent Illegal fishing above the boundaries; sixth, that flagrant breaches of fisheries regulations be in future subject to complete eon-, flscation of boats and gear; seventh, that actual warfare be instituted against hair seals by employing men to shoot and exterminate them; eighth, that similar warfare be declared against sea lions; ninth, that there be single instead of double control of the salmon fisheries, and that that control be In the hands of the federal authorities; and, tenth.' that all glllnetting be In future prohibited in that part of the 8keena River known as the Herring llunninr During the past week the herring run started at Pearl Harbor and seining got under way with very fair results considering it is the Oammon & Watt's Bertha B. and first of the season. Two boats, Punt nic tlkna'm Prariartta am an. SPINACH 2 gaging in the seining. The former boat is taking the fish for 'the Rupert Marine Products Prince Rupert reduction plant, the while the latter is harvesting the fish for the Oanadlan Fish & Cold Storage Oo.'s bait store. Boats of both companies are packing the fish Into Prinoe Rupert, several loads being brought In during the past week. Finding of 'his constant companion, a terrier dog, dead on the beach, has led to the belief jhat William Lane of Lewis Island, well-known old-timer of this district and trolling fisherman, may have lost his life when his boat swamped. It is Just over a month since Lane was last seen and the search of friends has failed to reveal any trace of him. He was getting well along in years and was one of the picturesque figures of this part of the coast. HEINZ KETCHUP Large slse.
