COLD WEATHER ON
THE WEST COAST
Wm. Semar. who came ove**
from ;he \\ ts! t.oast last nigh,
reports that matters in general
arc very quiet there. The cold
weather of the last two or
three weeks has prevented the
i:sual run of Spring salmon at
this time, and is generally
hampering business. So bad is
ihe ice that the Forrester was
frozen in at Rose Inlet where
she had gone for a pile driver,
ru.d the crew were compelled
to sheath her hull with plank
before "bucking” the ice on
tLe way out. So bad was it
that the two inch planks were
v. orn completely through be
fore she got to open water.
