At

the

will
lift
on
another
phase
of
the
annual
fishing
drama
when
the
sockeye
season
on
the
Naas
and
Skeena
Rivers
opens.
Sockeye,
the
to
grade
in
canned
salmon,
is
also
the
earliest
of
the
gillnet-caught
salmon
to
run
up
the
rivers
to
their
spawning
grounds.
From
June
29
until
September,
jeeen
canneries
in
the
Prince
Rupert
area
will
be
busy
with
the
canning
of
sockeye.
pinks,
chums,
coho
and
other
varieties.
The
operations
will
employ
thousands
of
fishermen
and
cannery
workers.
Reports
from
both
the
Skeena
and
the
Naas
indicate
that
there
will
be
good
runs
of
sockeye
on
both
rivers.
Given
two
or
three
weeks
of
fair
weather,
the
season
will
be
off
to
an
excellent
start.
So
far,
more
than
500
gill-net
licenses
have
been
Issued
for
the
Skeena
and
100
for
the
Naas.
More
licenses
will
be
taken
out
as
the
season
gets
under
way.
Last
year,
there
were
S78
gill-net
licenses
issued
for
the
Skeena
and
173
for
the
Naas
River.
Fishermen
anticipate
that
the
number
of
boats
on
the
rivers
this
year
will
at
least
equal
the
number
last
year.

Reports
from
Vancouver,
where
a
negotiaUng
committee
of
the
i
organized
fishermen
on
the
coast,
both
native
and
white,
has
been
dealing
with
the
Salmon

Operating
Committee

prices,
tell
of
the
settlement
this
week
I
of
the
price
schedule.
For
sock
eye,
the
fishermen
will
receive
15
cents
a
pound
for
all
areas,
which
Is
an
increase
over
last
year's
prices.
The
agreement
of
pinks
and
churn
prices
opened
the
way
for
the
start
of
the
sockeye
fishing
on
the
opening
date
tomorrow
night.
A
"fair"
run
of
spring
salmon
is
reported
on
the
Skeena
River
although
it
is
not
as
good
as
It
would
have
been
had
the
weather
been
brighter.
The
same
holds
for
the
off-shore
trolling
grounds
where
catches
have
been
lighter
than
the
original
heavy
run
war
rants.
Dark
weather
sends
the!
fish
down
Into
the
deep
water
and
consequently,
they
avoid
the
trolling
hooks
and
gilinets.

Reflections
By
W.J.
A
fellow
who
earned
a
living
with
a
lead
pencil
attended
a
Dominion
Day
railway
excursion
to
Terrace,
umpteen
years
ago.
The
morning
was
chill
and
grey.
Rain
was
due
any
minute.
Ten
miles
out,
a
hint
of
brighter
skies
was
not
unwelcome
and
further
along
mUt
and
clduds
began
peeling
off
th
peaks.
Terrace
was
hot,
sunshiny
and
cheerful.
We
observed
in
a
dining
room,
generous-sized
pitchers
of
cream
and
great
bowls
of
strawberries.
No
stint,
anywhere!
It
made
the
perfect
start
for
what
became
an
afternoon
and
evening
jDf
unqualified
enjoyment.
Well,
how
times
do
change!
Here's
an
item
in
The
Empire
dated
June
27,
1907
'that's
forty
years
ago),
which
says
"there
are
no
fewer
than
five
trans
portation
companies
doing
business
in
the
fair
young
city.
Five
wheelbarrows
engaged
in
commerce,
to
be
explicit.
How
the
Indian
bandsmen
surprised
and
Intrigued
Prince
Rupert's
early
citizens
who
had
never
heard
of
them
prior
to
the
first
observances
of
Dominion
Day?
In
their
most
extravagant
fancies,
they
never
suspected
native
musicians
wearing
gorgeous
uniforms
and
fondling
costly
Instruments
so
far
In
the
untrodden
north.
Fresh
from
down
East,
they
could
not
picture
melody
on
the
march
over
streets
which
existed
more
in
theory
than
actuality.
So
they
wrote
home
and
told
about
It.
As
i
matter
of
fact,
the
Indians
had
a
good
deal
to
do
with
putting
a
kick
Into
the
national
1
HflrS
how
a
South
American
would
say
"asphalt
shijles".
But
strangely
enough,
here
in
British
Columbia,
most
people
would
simply
say
"Duroid"
shingles
Instead.
You
see.
Duriod
has
become
so
well-known
that
many
people
think
It
applies
to
ALL
asphalt
shingles.
Actually,
the
name
"Duroid"
is
an
exclusive
trade-name
that
appears
ONLY
on
shin
gles
made
by
Sidney.
Genuine
Duroid
shingles
have
an
enviable
reputation
for
dependability
and
long
serrice.
For
your
own
home,
you
can
be
sure
ol
getting
what
you
ask
for
Genuine
Duroid
Shingles
