(182) stand, the American fishermen have direct access to the Prince Rupert nirket and the advantages It affords through its strategic position ind transportation facilities only through sufferance of the Canadian government "American halibut vessel owners are ready to admit that exclusion from the Prince Rupert market would prove ruinous to them, but serious loss to Canadian business 1 without giving Canadian fishermen appreciably higher prices for their fish. They point out that the closure of Prince Rupert to American vessels would have several effects. It would take from that city several hundreds of thousands of dollars spent there annually by the American fishermen. It would result in much larger landings of halibut at Seattle and Ketchikan. Prince Rupert would still secure a considerable portion of the American fresh halibut business, the fish being forwarded from Ketchikan and other Southeast Alaska ports In bond, but the American frozen halibut business would be almost entirely lost to It. "Students of the situation declare that closure of Prince Rupert would give decided stimulus to the establishment of freezer, particularly floating plants, near the Westward banks." The federal department of tUh crios has at last broken up tho seal snout racket. The government has been paying HEADACHES 'Needless pains like headaches are quickly relieved by Aspirin tablets as millions of people know.

Suspicions arose when the Indians who turned in the large consignment said they would accept half the bounty If the government could not afford to pay the entire sum owlng.The payment was deferred. Meanwhile, reports brought back by sea lion hunters helped to solve the mystery. Sea lions arc slaugh tered off the west coast as well as iilr seals because of the destruc-ion they cause among salmon and ahcr varieties of fish. The sea lion lunters were surprised to find arge numbers 01 sea lion pups hose snouts had been cut off. Examination subsequently showed '.hat the noses of hair seals and young sea lions are practically iden tical. Experts have discovered a means of distinguishing them, however, and all noses received in fu ture will not only be counted but subjected to a severe test. The Indians have been warned that sea Hon snouts will not receive a bounty when masqueraded at hair seals. RETURNING FROM VACATION J.
