GRUB IS FISH
WRITES FRENCH
i NOW IN'FRISCO
—
Grub is grub and at that mostly
fish, and hard to get, no matter if
you have the money, is the way Neil
I S. French, expresses it in a letter re
i reived in Seward. Mr. French was
i formerly with J. L. Graef but is now
working in San Francisco.
"We have had summer weather
here so far this winter" writes French
“and have had no rain which is work
t ing a great hardship, drying up things
and not permitting of grain planting.
It looks as if grub was going to be
scarce and the government is now
putting eveiy old kind of fish on the
market, including shark, and even this
is hard to secure, under the name of
grey fish, at 6 to 11 cents a pound.
Salmon has been seling at 25 to 27
cents a pound and there has been no
halibut. Common old black cod is
selling from 7 to 10 cents a pound. I
toll you the people will have to come
to fish. Now the government is put
ting the limit on what food you can
purchase even if you do have the
money, it doesn't do any good for
you are only allowed so much. I tell
, you it is fierce and if you don’t believe
