u. s. FISHERMAN WARNED B1
CANADA
Seattle fishermen were warned
recently that the Canadian Govern
ment has protested to th* 'ted
States Government relative to the
visits of American fishermen to
Vancouver Island ports in violation
of the fisheries treaty between Can
ada and the United States.
It is charged that American fish
ermen visit ports of Vancouver
Island when not compelled to do
so by stress of weather or for
making urgent repairs as in so do
ing lay themselves liable to seizure
of the vessels.
The treaty provides that United
States fishermen shall not visit
Canadian ports unless to seek shel
ter from severe weather or to make
urgent repairs and that no supplies
shall be purchased in such ports
other than food and water.—Can
adian Fisherman.

SEINING EXPERIMENT FAILS;
REGULATION GEAR INSTALLER
The new Prince Rupert halibut
boat, Helen II, returned to port re
cently, her attempt at seining for
halibut having proven unsuccess
full.
The vessel tried the scheme out for
about a week on the Hecate Sraits
grounds but the results were un
satisfactory, little if any of the de
sired fish being taken. On return
ing to port, a gurdy and long lin
ing gear were installed on the
Helen II and she returned to the
banks to operate in the conven
tional and approved manner. She
has a crew of six men aboard. Capt.
Hovmuller is reported to have some
hope yet for this pet scheme of his
and he may give it another try-out
in the fall It was with consider
able expense that he installed the
seining gear on the Helen II.—Can
adian Fisherman.
