Fairhaven's Superior Advan =

Fishing Industry
The Early Organization of a
Strong Local Company
Probable
Firemen's Farewell Ball at the
Pavilion---Social Hop at
Thistle's Hall

A late census bulletin shows that in
1889 there were 9, 1896 men employed in
the fisheries on the Great Lakes, and
that the value Of fish taken during the
year was $2,Gl5, 7S4 This is pretty
large industry. Fifteen kinds Of edible
fish are caught in the Great Lakes.
The trout is increasing in those waters,
but the whitefish is decreasing in all
lakes except Superior. But large as
the industry Is on the great lakes it
will sometime be larger on Puget sound
and Beliingham bay should be its
headquarters. The extent Of the posi-
bilities for the development of the fish
cry industry here are hardly appreciated
by our people. A few Of our citizens
seem to have some conception of its pos
sible and probable magnitude and
are now doing work which will
doubtless result in the early org aniza
ton of a company with ample apita
10 handle the business on a scale com
mensurate with its importance.
Within the past year it has become
leading and highly profitable industry
at Tacoma, which is fully one hundred
miles further than Fairhaven from the
best fishing grounds and especially the
great halibut beds of Rosario strait and
the waters most frequented 10y the sill
yer salmon, which command the high
est price in the markets Of the cities ofI
the Mississippi valley, which can be
reached in five days from here. Some
very effective work has been and is be-
ing done toward making this the most
important fishing point on the Sound.
The shipment of salmon, halibut, stur-
geon aud other fish direct from here TO
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee,
Chicago, st. Louis and other inland
cities may be expected at an early date.

Work Of Congress.


Congress got finally settled down tc
work on Monday of this week. The
anti option bill was brought up in tile
Senate, and seems likely to be the
occasion of a more determined struggle
than last session. Many petitions, both
for and against the bill, were presented.
Mr. Hoar, from the Judiciary Commit
tee presented bill providing penalties
against persons, not ships crew, wl'c
aid or encourage riot on American
ships, which was passed.
Many memorials and bills were pre-
sentei id the House, which took their
places on the calendar. Mr.. Cummings,
of N. Y, secured the passage of reso.
luton to investigate charges that the
postal authorities exclude newspapers
from the privileges of the mails without
previous notice to publishers, and OF
other irregular practices. Several bills
have been introduced upon the currency
question, and that subject will come up
for early action, and will probably be
the most exciting subject of discussion
during the session. A comprehensive
bill to enable national banks to increase
t..eir circulation and to suspend further
purchases of silver was introduced by
Representative Andrews of Massachu.
