of

to

Loutet's

came
after
a
long
and
bitter
fight
between
tyro
rival
factions
for
the

the

Though

In

in

These
are
a
few
facts
brought
out
by
Major
J.
A.
Motherwell,
chief
inspector
of
she
Dominion
fisheries
department
In
Vancouver,
in
an
ad
dress
before
members
of
the
Canadian
Credit
Men's
Trust
Association
at
Hotel
Georgia
In
Vancouver
recently.
The
fisheries
department
employs
approximately
.400
persons
during
the
season's
peak,
he
said.
They
operate
two
steamers,
43

and.

The

pack
to
September

accfirdlng
to
Major
Motherwell
was
as
follows:
sockeyes,
462,-913;
cohoes.
105,997;
pinks,
1.090,-
!
338,
and
chums,
77,387.
The
total
is
1,813,604
cases.
Seaplanes
Effective
The
moral
effect
of
the
seaplane
on
fishermen
who
violate
the
aet
has
been
remarkable,
the
chief
Inspector
stated.
Fishermen
who
violate
the
law
become
suspicious
of
every
gull
and
bird
they
see,
he
added.
In
one
exceptional
week
a
single
plane
seised
seven
seine
boats
violating
the
law
in
ttie
vicinity
of
Queen"
Charlotte
Islands,
he
related.
Referring
to
statements
regarding
the
depletion
of
salmon,
Major
Motherwell
declared
it
is
caused
by
Canadian
fishermen
as
well
as
others.
"We
are
too
fond
of
saying
It
is
done
by
the
American
side,
'
he
added.
A
certain
amount
of
anxiety
ha
been
felt
regarding
saJmon,
h;
continued,
but
the
government
has
been
aole
to
create
such
a
system
that
thre
is
no
cause
for
worry,
the
pack
in
recent
years
shows
conditions
are
being'
token
care

'
he
said.
Ixnv
Water
Responsible
Major
(Motherwell
said
that
re
cently
his
department
was
forced
to
close
certain
streams
because
of
ow
water,
but,
due
to
rain
In
the
localities
affected,
this
situation
has
been
clarified
and
the
streams
are
now
In
good
shape.
Men
engaged
In
catching
fish
have
had
a
good
season,
the
speak
er
said,
but
those
who
do
the
canning
have
not
been
quite
so
fort-nate.
They
have
had
competition
with
United
States,
Siberia
and
Japan;
in
addition,
prices
have
been
ow,
he
stated.
'
It
has
been
a.
common
belief
that
the
Oriental
monopolises
the,
fishing
business
in
.B.C.,
he
told
the
members.
This
was
true
several
years
ago,
when
they
controlled
48
per
cent,
of
the
licensed
business,
but
this
has
been
reduced
to
24
per
rent
by
the
department,
Major
Motherwell
said.
