The visiting officials accorded courteous consideration to the various matters placed before them. In turn, the local Interests evinced every willingness to co operate with the work of the authorities Insofar as seems Just and practicable. Representatives of the Northern British Columbia Fish ermen's Association, Deep Sea Fish ermen's Union and the Canadian Halibut Vessel Owners' Association were congratulated on the effective manner in which they presented their cases. With halibut boats tied up and little If anything doing In the way of salmon fishing, the local waterfront is a rather quiet place these iull days. About the only fishing activity now going on is in the cod fishing line at which a few small boats are working. There will be nothing in the way of very exten sive activity, however, until her ring seining starts early next year. In January it Is expected some sal mon trolling operations will start. It Is reported that some of the waterfront business concerns are contemplating closing down alto gether for the months of December and January. , j C. S. Mathers of the sales staff of the Atlas Imperial Diesel Engine Co. at Oakland JOal., has been appointed manager for the company at its East San Pedro branch in the principal fishery centre of South-em California. He had been located at the San Diego branch for three and a half years. Mr. Mathers is another Canadian who has made good in the United States. He is a brother of F. D. Mathers, who has long been active in the salmon fisheries of British Columbia and who was formerly one of the chief officials of the B. C. Packers, having been located for some years in Prince Rupert. Halibut Catch The Pacific Fisherman, In a rough, preliminary estimate, places the halibut production on the Pacific Coast for the 1931 season at approximately 42.000,000 pounds, representing a decline of some 8,- 000,000 pounds from the official to tal of 50.466.632 pounds for the 1930 season. "The lost can be accounted tor." says the Pacific Fisherman. largely by the reduction in the length of the fishing season which this year was approximately six weeks shorter than In 1930. At the beginning f the fishing season last spring operations were practically suspended for five weeks owing to disagreement between the vessel owners and fishermen. Furthrmore, the new international treaty regulating the halibut fishery closed the eason November 1 Instead of November 15. Thus the season was sub stantially shortened at both ends with material restriction of production natural. This tendency was further aided by the withdrawal of a considerable number of boats to other fisheries as a result of low prices prevailing for halibut. "Although Seattle did not again achieve leadership over Prince Ru-Dert in October, Its landings of 1.-613,300 pounds during the month represented a substantial gain over the 1.051.950 pounds delivered there In October. 1930. Prince Ru pert's landings for the period were considerably ahead of Seattle's but the northern port fell far he-hind Its business for "October 1930.

Capi. Chris F. Aune and his crew of twi men barely made shore where they secured shelter for two weeks until their signals were sighted by the halibut boat Spray which took them to Cordova. Prior to the public session of the International Fisheries Commission here on Thursday of this week, the conference board, representing local halibut boat owners and fishermen, had an interview on Wednesday afternoon with the members of the commission. Various matters were informally discussed and a lood deal of the ground of the public hearing was covered In a preliminary way. Metal Lining It Is reported that at least one Prince Rupert halibut boat during the coming winter will be equipped with sheet metal In the flshhold This is a step which has already been taken with excellent results on Atlantic trawlers and Is said to be logical as far as halibut and salmon trolling boats are concerned. The metal to be used is non-corrosive In fresh water and salt, remains bright and smooth regardless of chemical conditions and makes the task of cleansing and sterilizing the fish-hold an easy one, insuring the land ing of fares in the best of condition. Capt. Andrew Einmo has been using his American halibut boat Polaris, which la well known In Prince Rupert, in freighting supplies between Seattle and South eastern Alaska points during the past fall. The first trip is said to have proven quite profitable so Capt. Einmo loaded his second cargo. J. W. NlcholU. comptroller of the Canadian Fish tt Cold Storage Co, in a recent interview, stated that, while business had been difficult for the past six months, he believed it was now "turning the corner." "We believe it to be a fact." said Mr. NlcholU. "that the fish business reflect conditions as quickly as any. At least, this Is our experience. We fully expect that the stocks of frozen halibut on November 15 will be materially below the figure of November 15 last year and, with the low price at which frozen hail-but is being quoted, we are hopeful for a clean-up of frozen stocks which, unquestionably, will have the effect of giving us a healthy start next season. For the first time in eight or nine months we are feeling optimistic." A petition from United States troll fishermen that the Dominion of Canada release to their owners the Amerlean fishing boats Queen City, May, Tlllle M. and Sunrise, which were seized in 1930 for being unlawfully in Canadian waters, was recently forwarded by the Uni ted States Department pf State to the Dominion Government at Ot tawa. The Canadian minister of fisheries replied that he did not look with favor upon such action because It was held the United States government had warned the fishermen that they must abide strictly by the law. The four boats were seized off Rose Spit, Queen Charlotte- Islands. Holland, only some 12.600 square miles in Itself, possesses a colonial empire 70 limes as large.
