"During the past year the Chamber has supported actively with Its membership the Victory Loan drive, war savings program and the United War Services appeal. Several Addresses It was our pleasure to hear sev eral addresses during the year on current topics and the speakers were listened to with Interest. Hon. William Asselstlne, Minister of Trade, and Lloyd Craig, British Columbia trade representative in Ottawa, addressed the board on trade developments ln the province as a result of the war. Alan Corma:k spoke on shipbuilding with particular reference to Princp Rupert. Major O'Brien discussed for our benefit the problems of war finance and the Victory Loan. Capt. G. W. Marsden R. C. E., spoke on conditions in Germany prior to the outbreak of war. To these gentlemen we have accorded our appreciation and our thanks "Invitations were extended to H.

Sawlog production shows a slight increase over 1940, which year showed the remarkable increase of 80 percent over 1939. War requirements and the entry of the United States into the war have -intensified the demand for aeroplane spruce, most of which has been coming from the Queen Charlottes. It is of some interest that small shipments of aero stock have moved through Prince Rup ert in 1941, destined for the Bri tish Supply Board. Mr. St. Clair indicates that the forest products market will be steady In 1942 but that operators are feeling the pinch of priorities in securing machinery parts and new equip ment. Also a shortage of man power Is becoming more and more evident throughout the district. "Mining The report of Dr. Joseph T. Mandy, district mining enelneer. on conditions in the mining industry is very much ap predated. Dr. Mandy points out that the Industry has been affect ed by world war conditions.

As an alternative It was urged that a short-wave station be es and auctioned off. Good prices were realized on most classes. Mr. Preston states that the sale of farm products ln Prince Rupert appears to be deadlocked, with perhaps a lack of co-operation on both sides. "Fisheries We thank James Boyd, Supervisor of Fisheries, for his report covering the landings and values of fish in District No. 2 during 1941. The fishing industry, major factor in the economic well-being of this port, would appear to have kept ln step with the record of general Improvement in the year Just closed. Six and a half million dollars worth of fish of al varieties was landed in the district. Of this .otal 75 percent was Canadian and 25 percent American. The comparative 'figures are five mil lion dollars ln 1940 and four mil lion dollars in 1939. Canadian halibut landings totalled 9,680,000 pounds, compared with 9,590,000 pounds in 1940. For about the same quantity th fishermen received $125,OOj moie than in 1940, or a price-average increase of 15 percent. The figures on American halibut landings are 10,040,000 pounds in 1941 as against 11,210,- 000 pounds in 1940, in this case a drop of over a million pounds. 1 am told that this can be accounted for to some extent by a change in the lay-over regulations, causing more trips to go south. Canadian salmon landings for the year totalled 64,030,000 pounds with a value to the fishermen of $3,536,999. The comparable figures for 1940 are 65,201,600 pounds, valued at $2341,019. Although the salmon catch in 1941 was over a million pounds below the previous year, the fishermen received $1,-195,981 more. This Is accounted for largely by the higher prices paid for cohoes, chums, and pinks. A total of 778,000 cases of salmon were packed in this district, an increase of 35,000 cases, over 1940. The statistics quoted here are approximate only as final figures have not been received in all cases. "Lumbering We are indebted to District Forester R. C. St. Clair for a concise report on lumbering and logging. The comparative statement for i940 and 1941 on materials produced is as follows: "Sawlogs, 1940, 223,000,000 board feet; 1941, 227,000,000 board feet. I J.H.

Lacking this co-operation little progress could be made ln solving our problems. I acknowledge gratefully the assistance given me by Arthur Brooksbank. Without the aid of an experienced secretary, the President would be lost ln a maze of uncertainty and indecision. You are to be congratulated on retaining his services for the coming year. Acknow ledgment Is made of our debt to Arnold Flaten, who has again been kind enough to audit the books of the Chamber. Thanks are due to our Honorary President for con slderate help and we congratulate Mr. Pattullo on having passed, ln 1941, the quarter century mark in public service to this city and to the Province of British Columbia, The assistance received from our Honorary Vice - President, Olof Hanson, is likewise acknowledged. Mr. Hanson has been untiring on our behalf, whenever help was re quired.
