King and Pierce counties. Some five years
ago the navy department at Washington,
anticipating such a crisis as the present
and realizing the necessity of a greater
knowledge of the Pacific coast coal sup
ply, began an Investigation into the
quality OF the various Goals mined on Pu-
get sound. The L. S. s. Yorktown was
ordered 10 Puget sound II. March 1894.
to test the coal and report. Her command
er. Capt. William NJ. Folger. spent over
month In practical daily steaminS trials,
and made lengthy technical report,
signed by the examining board of en-
gineers, A. e. Bates, j. NJ. Pickereil and
Albert Mor.,z that Blue Canyon and
FaIrhaven Goals were the best of those
tested. as safe as Comox or other British
Columbia Goals. and showed greater evap-
oraiive efficiency.
This trial was supplemented in 1858
by three months test on the Il. S. s.
Mohican, one of the old navy. Her COM
mander. Capt. Dennis Mullen. reported in
substance as did Capt Folger.
In April. 1894, The Blue Canyon Ccai
Company was awarded the contract for
coaling all OF the thirteen United States
vessels then on their way to the Boring
sea to enforce the sealing regulations. and
with few exceptions, the government
has not used British Columbia Goals since,
and has bought thousands OF tons OF Blue

days ago the department at Washington
awarded the Blue Canyon company con-
tract for 500 tons of coal TO be delivered

On April ~. owing to the certainty of war
with Spain. the department asked to he
released from both these contracts. stat
ing that its plans had been altered and
would not require coal at those points.

then cents and finally cents. The duty
would make an addition Of 4 cents per fsa,
or from 70 to 6 per cent. Cn the cost OF
material. The Canadian fishermen are
strongly In favor Of the duty. and as
there are about 40ue OF them holding IL
censes and as many more boatmen, their
influence is locally strong.
They say the American laws permit the
Use of trap nets. which are fastened to
stakes driven into the bottom while the
Canadian lava allow only the ordinary
long net floating on the surface and dis
tended by small weights. The American
traps get the first OF the catch and that IS
one reason why the AmtTiCAu usli are
bought in the Canadian canneries. Each OF
the cannertee. more than forty n number.
Is allowed to take out twenty licenses,
ana the remainder OF the 100 licenses are
held by Individual fishermen
Last year the run was SO large that the
canneries were forced to limit the daily
catch Of their men and that fact created
all the elements essential TO an agitation
for protective tariff. The fishermen saw
the fish all about them. but could find no
sale. They were paying so for q license
while the Americans paid nothing. and the
latter were using easier. but more de-
struetive methods. forbidden by the Cana
dian Law.
Tha most reliable estimate places the
Canadian consumption at LOO coo cases. or
about one-tenth of the total product. With
such large export the question of taxa
ton at home Is regarded as one Of great
Importance. Last seasons run and pack
IN British Columbia were phenomenal
reaching 1.0l541 cases. as against 60l, SO
cases the year previous. OF this pack, the
thirty-three canneries on the Fraser river
put up SS0.4S9 cases. the remainder being
put up on the Skeena river and other
smaller rivers and inlets adjacent to the
Fraser
Some OF this salmon Is caught In Ameri-
can waters. and Is consequently regarded
as imported. 1t has hitherto been the es-
tabished custom to waive the duty of half
cent pound on this import.
