Now those are the only type of re frigerator cars that are beinc built. The Pacific station keeps checking up on measures which were devised some years ago to prevent the discoloration of halibut aboard boats between catching and landing. This dis coloration- Is still being kert' under control. Another problem which the station recently had before It was that of milky, chalky halibut. It was found that this was due to a disease of the fish and nothing could be done about it. There has been no increase in Incidence. . " A new program designed to determine the relative nutritive value of the proteins of certain British Columbia coast fish has been the task of Dr. J. M. It. Beverage who a year ago replaced Dr. B. E. Bailey as biochemist of the station. The flesh of spring salmon, halibut, flounder and ling cod was found to be of about equal value In proteins. There were also experiments with beef, milk and egg albumen for Drotein vain it was found thai fish was slightly better than meat and considerably better than eggs and imiit. uowever, experiments for vitamin B content of flesh of the four fish and pork reacted definitely in favor of the nort These protein experiments were earned out with the use of rate and mice. The Pacific fisheries Experimental Station has been collaborating with the British Columbia Council for Industrial and Scientific Research n surveying the sea weeds of the coast and, as a result, there have been found considerable quantities of a certain species of seaweed frpm which can be produced agar, a thickening material which Is widely used and which was formerly imported from Ja pan, mis opens up the possibility of a new industry of sizeable proportions on this coast. This district is also to be surveyed. New problems In connection with kelp have also been under investigation. War has shown that such things' as lute and camouflage nets can be made irom Kelp which also yields we'll own a General Motors alginic acid, raw material for a number of useful products.

THORNHILL Prince Kupm reople Among Those Who Made Ascent TERRACE, Sept. 17 Near the top of Thornhlll Mountain the B.C. Forestry Service has a cabin called the "Lookout" which can be reached by a trail beginning near the base of the mountain at a point about 6 miles from Terrace along the Lakelse Road. During the months of July and August a man is posted there to keep a sharp look-out for fires. Pat McNeil of Smith-ers was the watchman this The mountain is 4870 feet high, but It Is about 8 miles by trail to the cabin and it takes 3 hours of steady climbing to reach it. However, the scenery near the mountain top and the magnifi cent view from this vantage point make the climb well worth the effort. Through the courtesy of S. G. Cooper, forest ranger, the names of a number who made the climb this summer have been obtained and they Include the following Prince Rupert Margaret station as accountant, and pur chasing agent but is due for re tlrement soon.
