CANADA ABOLISHES
TRAPS AGAIN
The steady increase of fish
production in British Columbia
can be traced directly to the
absence of fish traps. Due to
pressure of cannery interests,
that government granted lcenses
to fish traps. They reconsid
ered however and traps are
gone again, to the great dis
gust of the Pacific Fisherman,
from which paper we quote;
“On Again, Gone Again”
The situation in regard to
the Wales Island traps of the
Canadian Fishing Company,
Ltd., reminds one of the Irish
railroad man’s telegram, “Off
again, on again, gone again,
Finnegan.” After having been
promised, licenses to operate
these traps were refused early
in the year, but were granted
about a month ago, after the
new government came into of
fice. A few weeks later, fol
lowing Premier Meighen’s visit
to Prince Rupert, they were
canceled by order in council.
HUGE SALMON SEIZURE
The largest seizure of food
stuffs ever made in the Oregon
district under the provisions of
the Pure Food and Drug Act
was completed by deputy U.S.
marshals and representatives of
the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry,
when approximately 26,900
cases of alleged adulterated
canned salmon were seized at
the Luckenbach Steamship Co.’s
dock. The shipments were the
property of the Alaska Port
land Packer’s Association and
were brought to Portland from
their plants at Naknek and
Nushagak, Alaska. The seiz
ure is said to be valued at ap
proximately $250,000.
According to the complaint.
the shipment contains articles
of food in which “filthy, de
composed and putrid' animal
substances” have been substi
tuted for normal salmon. A
number of smaller seizures
have been made recently by
the U. S. Government, follow
ing investigation by the Bur
eau of Chemistry, but this is
the first of this magnitude.
