WHAM-: MEAT POPULAR
NEED MORE PLANTS
HOQUIAM, Nov. 6.-—The erection
another whaling station upon the
Pacific Coast, probably in California,
is said to be contemplated by the of
ficials of the American Pacific Whal
ing company, owners of the Bay City
station here. The whaler Aberdeen
is now being put into shape for a
cruise down the coast with the offic
ials of the company who also control
several stations in British Columbia.
The growing demand for whale
meat is said to he the principal rea
son prompting the establishment of a
second plant on this coast. Orders for
whale meat have come into the com
pany front many points east of Chi
cago. To handle this growing trade
the company built a large cold storage
plant at its station this summer.
The whaling season here ended this
week with a total catch of 20'.l
wiiBies. I iiis is tne smallest eaten
made here since the station was estab
lished eight years ago. Last year ap
proximately 250 whales were taken
and during the best year the catch
exceeded 300 whales.
Some years ago a company was
started here and in San Francisco to
establish a whaling station on the
coast of California near the Oregon
line, but this never materialized. Ex
cellent whale fishing was reported by
that company to exist off the Calif
ornia coast.
