Early Ad. Copy is appreciated Aeeordlng to reports received from Ketchikan quite a number of the halibut boats there have signed with J. E. Berg, banker and fish dealer of that city, to ship their fish on consignment to the eastern mar kets, an advance payment being made when the fish is landed. It Is simply another experiment towards the end of co-operative marketing. Mr. Berg, it will be remembered, was prominently identified last year with the efforts of the. United Pacific Fisheries. Hurry On Purchased The British steel diesel ship Hurry On. a vessel of about 1000 tons, which some years ago was used in coast freighting by Cana dian National Steamships and more recently has been operated on the Mexican coast, was recently purchased by the McOhle Transportation Co. of Vancouver and is to be placed In the carrying trade between fishery plants of Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlottes and the Pacific states. Dur ing the past winter the vessel has made several trips, taking two full cargoes of fish meal to Southern California, canned salmon and other products to Vancouver and Seattle, and bringing salt and fuel oil from California and miscellan eous supplies from northern ports for use in the fisheries. The vessel was recently at Seattle being equip ped for more efficient service In these lines this year. The Hurry On Is a modern and first-class freighting vessel and the principal Improvement which has been made is the installation of tanks for fish oil with a total capacity ot about 68,-000 gallons. Much of the new tank capacity Is located on deck and does not Interfere with other cargo space below. It Is expected that the Hurry On will be kept busy In this service practically all the year around.

Prices started off at a fairly good level with the highest bid for Canadian fish 11.1c and 4c which the Melville received for 6,000 pounds. However, toward the end of the week, there was a falling off to 6c and 3c which was the prevailing price yesterday.

Owing to the low price situation two American boats the Yakuts t, with 35.000 pounds, and the Sunset, with 35.000 pounds, left Prince Rupert for Seattle to market their catches. On Wednesday of this week 14 carloads of halibut were shipped by express from Prince Rupert three cars being fresh and 11 frozen.

Union diesel engine while the Pair of Jacks. Capt. Axel Peterson, has vessel is at present engaged In patrolling ot the halibut grounds hereabouts. Harry Scott, who has not been In town since January 9, arrived on Thursday afternoon from his logging operation at Baker Inlet In Orenvtlle Channel. He will be here for a two weeks' holiday. Coming In on Thursday his gasboat Uia re ceived quite a dusting in a heavy southeast gale off the mouth of the Skeena River, two 100-foot radio poles which were In tow being lost after going adrift. "Undoubtedly we would not have got in at all If I had not been one of the better a new 45 h.p. Western Enterprise skippers,'' Harry averred with char- diesel. The engrries in both cases were purchased through the local branch of Edward Llpsett Letd. Co-operation Breaks Up Co-operation between the American and Canadian halibut fleets, which was once so very close, seems to be gradually diminishing. The recent closing of the Prince Rupert branch of the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union was an evidence of this so far as the fishermen were concerned. There also appears to be a disposition on the part of vessel own ers of the two countries to work out their destinies separately. W. Hunter Wells Ltd.. of Wells Ltd.. sampling, strapping and label ling experts of Vancouver, has established a new commercial air ser vice on this coast under the title of Wells Air Transport Ltd. The new concern has a six-passenger Fair-child seaplane and a Fleet one- passenger seaplane. These planes are available for charter service all along the coast.

It is rumored here that Vancou ver boats tendered lower than those of Prince Rupert for the charter of fishing vessel to the International Fisheries Commission for use of the scientific staff on the halibut grounds and that a southern boat will probably be chosen. It is understood the Vancouver tenders were as low as $20 per day. Several Prince Rupert boats tendered but the lowest bid was $25 per day. Bad Weather Delays Fleet Stormy weather of the past week delayed a number ot the local halt- but boats in leaving on the first trips ot the season to the fishing grounds. Several of the vessels will be getting away this week-end. Capt. Oeorge Cook was all ready to depart this week-end tor his first trip ot the season to the halibut banks with his boat Teeny Mtlly which was resplendent In a brand new coat of paint throughout which was administered during the past week at the McLean shipyard at Seal Cove. The local halibut boat Johanna Capt. John Wick, got away to the fishing grounds for her first trip ot the season on Wednesday of this week. It was the second start tor the Johanna which developed a leak on going out at the opening of the season and had to return here to be repaired at the dry dock. Will the halibut fishermen wear strings of pearls as they follow their hazardous calling on the briny deep this season?
