ALASKA HAS FINEST
HALIBUT INDUSTRY
THE SITUATION IS
CLEARLY DEFINED
Editor Of Leslie’s Weekly Hits Nail
On The Head
(From Leslie’s Weekly)
Alaska has the finest halibut in
dustry in the country. It wants
to keep it It is in danger of losing
it unless the government fights to
retain it as loyally and vigorously
as Canada is now fighting to take
it away. I found the halibut fish
ing question a live one, especially
at Ketchikan, a center of the in
dustry. The Grand Trunk Paci
fic has been completed to the north
west corner of Canada, terminating
at Prince Rupert, a few miles from
the international boundary between
British Columbia and Alaska. Alas
ka has no direct rail connection
with eastern markets. These con
ditions with the present American
shipping regulations are throwing
an enormous volume of trade—the
catching, icing and shipping of fish
caught on the Alaskan Banks for
the market of the United States—
into the Canadian channel, thus
building up and supporting Cana
dian towns with American resources
and capital.
Alaska asks for legislation that
will require vessels engaged in fish
ing for the American market to
discharge the fish at an Ameri an
port, so that if Canada wants our
fish the Canad.m raiiroad can es -
tablish a ferry service from Prince
Rupert across to thj nearest Ams
kan por', .va'ei is Ketchikan, a dis
tance of 90 mi1a*. This can be tra
versed in a few hours. Seattle is
interested in procuring this trade.
The completion of the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railroad to Prince Rupert
brings it *300 mi! as nearer the fish
ing banks than .Seattle. Prince Ru
pert, with ru ! connections with the
eastern mark ms oc the United Sta
tes, has an adviar.-arj over Seattle
because it re iu’ras two or three
days foi vho steamer trip from Ket
chikan to Seattle a long journey
for fresh fish by water when re
frigerating requirements are not
provided as in trai spomion by rail.
Heretofore, millions have been
disburse! in outf t n.j boats, wages
and percentages paid to crews of
fishermen, but Prince Rupert is
taking this business. The fish
from the Alaska i banks for ihe
American markets are shipped to
the Canadian side. There the of
ficers, crews m 1 fishermen are
paid off and the vessel is outfitted
for her next vo/ijj back to Amer
ican waters, the Canadian port be
ing the only on; touched at. The
money to pay these bills comes from
New York, Boston and Chicago and
the fish come either from inland
waters of Alaska or the high seas.
Thus we are pouring money into
Canada and losing not only our trade
but our fishermen, as many of them
are now mpving to the Canadian
side.
Alaska asks the pertinent ques
tion: “How long would Canada per
mit a Montreal corporation, operat
ing British vessels, engaged in the
taking of fish from the waters of
British Columbia, to operate these
vessels out of Seattle, making the
port their Pacific headquarters, buy
ing their supplies and hiring and dis
charging their fishermen at the
American port, and then to ice and
box the fish at Seattle for shipment
to Montreal over an American rail
road?” Secretary Redfield at Wash
inton is taking up the question. It
will give him a splendid opportunity
for constructive, helpful work. Nor
should he overlook the vital fact
NOTICE

ikan Volunteer Fire Department, Tues
day, October 5th, the fire chief was
instructed to take charge of all in

In compliance with the above in

that the Canadian government will
not permit our boats to compete in
this market. This is the policy of
Great Britain always. Only recently
the suggestion was made in the
House of Commons by Sir Edward
Cornwall that in giving war orders
for spelter in America, there should
be discrimination in favor of metals
made in the United States from ores
produced in Canada, so that even in
the urgency of securing war sup
plies Great Britain never forgets to
discriminate in Canada’s favor and
against the United States.
