Herring
Taken
on
Coast,
Declares
Speaker,
Quoting
From
an
Authority
In
an
address
to
the
Rotary
Club
yesterday
on
the
fish
eries
of
British
Columbia
Major
Motherwell
stated
that
a
:
good
deal
had
been
heard
about
herring
recently.
Thisj
year
there
was
one
of
the
biggest
runs
in
many.years.
Dr.
i
McLean
Fraser,
the
best
authority
on
this
fish
on
the!
coast,
had
stated
that
the
few
herring
taken
on-this
coast
was
but
a
drop
in
the
bucket
of
the
whole
supply
which
was
very
large.
I
Major
Motherwell
said
the
fish
were
veryireaky.
One
year
they
would
appear
and
the
next
they
would
not
be
othere.
This
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
general
supply,
It
was
thought.
However,
an
Investigation
was
being
made
and
the
life
history
of
.the
fish
on
this
coast
studied.
Asked
after
the
luncheon
by
a
Dally
News
representative
if
he
had
seen
the
articles
and
letters
In
the
paper
dealing
with
this
subject,
the
Major
said
he
had
read
them
all
nnd
the
stand
taken
by
the
paper
was
correct.
The
information
given
was
correct.
