The wheels of the Industry will once again be I turning in full swing.

Many boats have also been leaving Seattle and the Alaskan ports. Probably more boats than usual will be on the banks ready to cast their gear Immediately it becomes legal to do so. Success of the season's' opera tions will depend, of course, upon the nature of prices to be paid by the buyers of fish.
