SYSTEM

Compromising on the request
of Eastern fish buyers that Se
attle halibut vessels postpone
their departure for the fishing
banks for at least two weeks to
permit further reduction in cold

fleet made the opening of the
season, February 16, and tire
rest will sail one week later
February 23.

from participating in Territorial
affairs.” That plank should elect

hate Cole.—Seward Gateway.
