Winter Herring Fishing In Norway.

The fishing industry is one of the lead
ing industries of Norway. The bleak
barren and inhosDitahle northern coast
hreasting the storms of the north sea. is
dotted with thousands Of homes built by
fishermen. who snatch their living from
the sea. From October until January
when the codfishing season opens up on
the Lofoten banks. the fishermen In that
part of the country go idle and spend the
earnings OF the spring Fishing. or live on
credit. In order TO provide the fishermen
With an opportunity some national econo-
mist. interested IN fishing, proposed that
the government make an appropriation
so that an experiment could be made
drifting with seines for winter herring off
the coast. This mode of fishing has never
been tried. although experienced fisher
men claimed that the large. fat winter
herring could he caught in drift nets In
dividual fishermen did not have the means
to experiment. and capitalists were not
inclined II risk their money on an inYio-
walton. The matter was finally brought
before the StorthinC al it's last session
and an appropriation of eco crowns was
placed AZ the disposal OF three picked
fishermen Of Aalesund. The first expert
nent was made i'm October and proved
successful beyond sll expectations AS
soon as the innovation had passed its ex-
perimental STAKE the money bags of The
capitalists were opened Hundreds -
dories and smaeks have been equipped.
and II Is estimated that the catch Of win
ter herring Off Aalesund since las. Oc-
tober has brought the fishermen. after
paying theanterest on capital invested. the
snug little sum Of 5aGp1 crowns The
warehouses along the water front oe
Aaiesund have been turned into fish de-
pots where hundreds OF men, women and
children are busy preparing sailing and
packing herring. The winter drifting for
herring has proven a veritsb3e Kiondike
to the poor fishermen of Northern Nor
way.
