Tfie pilchards are being! caught in salmon nets. The fish are of good quality for salt I i Ti. ; l t.. : i- l u. Kippering, ih is iweiuy-siA yeais muuc piienuiua iiuve uecu seen in any quantity in waters adjacent to Prince Rupert, according to William Sim, Porcher Island, one of the old timers nf the district. jj The sockeye pack to date in prac- tlcally all divisions of District No. 2, of which Prince Rupert Is the head- Quarters, comoares favorably with last year. Total pack figures are( j however, greatly decreased owing to the fact that the canners generally are not desirous of putting up pinks for which, in any case. It Is an off j cycle year. On the other hand, the sockeye pack is well up to expecta tions for the cycle year. The sockeye season closed for Rivers and Smith's Inlet last night while It has not been decided whether sockeye fishing on the Skeena River and other parts of the district will end on August 14 or 21 although it Is expected that it will probably be the latter date. With the closing of sockeye fishing, it is expected that no more than one or two canneries in the entire district will remain open to put up cohpes. The sockeye pack - for the Naas River up to the end of July totalled 3,123 cases as against 18,629 cases at i similar date in 1930. In connection with this, however, it is fair to note (.hat only one cannery is operating an the Naas this year as against three in 1930, the remaining two this season operating as camps and sending their fish to the Skeena River. The total pacic for the Naas River this year to date was 9,907 :ases, as against 47,421 cases at a tlmllar date in 1930. On the Skeena River to date this season the sockeye pack was 84,461 2ases as compared with 92,839 for the corresponding period last year. The Skeena River total was 115,942 cases as against 161,828 cases. The central division pack up to the end of July this year had totalled 45,403 cases as against 165,453 ?ases at a similar date in 1930. The sockeye pack for this season stood at 20,264 cases as against 28,740 cases. In Rivers Inlet the pack of sock eye is 64,336 cases this season as against 98,283 cases last season while the 1931 sockeye pack in Smith's Inlet is 12,732 cases as com pared with 36,537 cases. .... Halibut prices continued low at the port of Prince Rupert during the past week and American' landings remained light, totalling 252.500 pounds whereas Canadian landings aggregated 260,500 pounds, making the total for the week 513,000 pounds. The high price of the week for Canadian fish was 7.3c and 3c which the Livingstone was paid for 8,000 and the low price was 5.1c and 2.5c which the Cape Deale received for 39,000 pounds. The high American price of the week was 9.1c and 4c which the Inger and Defense received for catches of 6,500 and 14,000 pounds respectively. The low bid for American fish was 5.9c and 3c which the Alten accepted for 40.000 pounds. .... Public Sessions Here The International Fisheries Commission will hold a public hearing in Prince Rupert In November at which discussion win be invited on the closing of nursery halibut areas, limitation of catches in certain depleted areas, the. duration of the close season, the clearance of vessels and such other matters as may be brought up by anyone Interested in the industry. The members of the commission are John P. Dabcock, chairman. Miller Freeman and W. A. Found.

It has also been announced that Dr. William F. Thompson, director of Investigation under the International Fisheries Commission, will give a number of lectures for the people In the Industry, explaining Investigations that have been made and conclusions reached. The schooner Dorothy, under charter to the International Fish- eries Commission for research work, fhas been endeavoring to net eggs. and larvae of halibut In Hecate Straits for scientific investigation purposes. .... Salmon Moving The bulk of the 1930 salmon pack, with the exception of pinks of which a large quantity still remain unsold, has now been marketed at fluctuating prices, an official statement says. A small pink pack is being made by most of the canners this season with a view to equalizing conditions. The sockeye market is strong and there should be no difficulty for the canners to dispose of this variety at a profit. There Is also a good market for first class cohoes with a brisk demand for chums. Canning operations will conclude in practically all canneries this month and. from all indications, there will not be an over-supply for next year of any variety of canned salmon. Next year a distinct flllp may be expected in the Industry with the B. C. Packers probably getting back into operation again on a more normal scale. . Alfred Dyb, halibut fishermen, who suffered a broken back when the halibut boat Sea Bird was caught and disabled In enormous seas during the tragic latter days of the 1929 fishing season, died re cently at the marine hospital In Port Townsejid, Wash., where he had been confined since the Injury which was sustained when the pilot house was swept from the Sea Bird. . . John E. Berg, manager of the Marlyn Fish Co. at Ketchikan and president of the National Bank there, still believes that the solution of the halibut fishermen's market ing problem lies in a single sales company such as the United Pacific FUhprlMi AnrijmvnrfkH tn crt. tin nn I the coast this spring, . . . The well known American halibut boat Franklin, having been withdrawn from liallbut fishing in June, has since been engaged In salmon, seining on Puget Sound. Capt. Carl Sather and his partner, Chris Nelson, recently purchased the third Interest of their former partner, A. Nelson. In the vessel and arc now her sole owners. . . . New Engine Installed Capt. Martin Jacobsen has a new engine this summer in his well known halibut schooner Addlngton, having replaced a 80 hp. engine with a 75 h.p. Atlas-Imperial dlescl. -.' There have been fewer gasoline powered boats fishing for salmon on the Skeena River this season than last when 472 were licensed. The year before that there were 263 gasboat licences. . . Installation has just about been completed of a 12-14 Regal engine In Harry Scott's power cruiser Lila in place of an 8-10 h.p. Palmer. Harry was not after more speed but rather power. As soon as the installation has been completed, he will leave on a timber cruising trip down the coast.

Wright Crosses Atlanta After Interesting stay In Canada's Largest City A letter was received at the Dally News office today from Rev. T. II Wright, former United Church pastor at Hazelton, written on board the steamer Athenla on which Mr. and Mrs. Wright were sailing to the Old Country after a visit of interest in Montreal. During his stay in Montreal, Mr. Wright made his headquarters with his brother, A. M. Wright 'of Verdun. Quebec, and while there he baptized two children of his niece. He also attended two lectures at the summer school held in Mac-donald College, the chairman of the school being Prof. Gilford formerly of Columbia College. New Westminster. Another incident of Mr. Wright's visit in Montreal was an interview with Sir Arthur Cur-rie, president of McQlll University, who gave him a fine letter of introduction in case he should visit France. The letter of introduction read as follows: "I am giving this letter of introduction to Rev. T. H. Wright whom I have known for the past thirty-seven 'years. In fact, when T first went to British Columbia in 1894, I lived In Sidney where he was minister of the Methodist Church. He has had a long and honorable career In the work of that church and is now on a year's leave-of-absence. His son served with us and was, unfortunately, killed August 12, 1918, at Amiens." Continuing his letter, Mr. Wright said that Montreal seemed to be very busy. The chief activity was the building of a large bridge and also a tunnel under the Canal He had a very pleasant stay of five days In the great Industrial city. Hospitality may have been unsophisticated In the old days, but It didn't take the varnish off your furniture when It spilled. LOOK! At these bargains. We still offrr our ltock at reduced prices.
