MAKE BIG HAUL
OF HERRING
There was a little excite
ment on the bay at noon
today. The fislh boats, Margar

quite a haul in-the iherring line.
The Margaret alone getting a
hout two hundred barrels of
the fish and the loither boats a
bout the same. The Margaret
delivered her fish as soon as
she caught them to the hali
bnter Seattle, which arrived up
this morning from Seattle, her
first trip this winter. She is
as fresh as a pumpkin, all
dressed in a nice new float of
white, and instead of a halibut
boat a casual observer wtoaild
think that she was n private
yacht belonging to a millionaire
newspaperman.
The halibut boat Prospector,
of the New England Pish com
pany, passed through this mio«rn
ing for Prince Rupert with a
fi 11 cargo of fish. 9he will un
load (he fish at Rupert and
they will lie rushed over the
Grand Trunk Pacific to Boston.
Heretofore all the boats were
compelled to go all (he 'way to
Seattle but that is now eliminat
ed since the G. T. P. road has
been completed. The fish can
he landed at Rupert and be
half way to Boston ;n the
same time that it formerly tiokj
to go to Seattle.
