EXPENDS A MILLION DOLLARS
THIRTY-FIVE FISH TRAPS
ALREADY PURCHASED.
Immense Cannery Will Be Built at
Fairhaven, Wash, to Handle
the Entire
Catch.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Feb. A special from
Fairhaven, Wash, says a trust is being
formed to control the salmon output of
Puget Sound. Already thirty-fiVe of
the best-located fish traps in Whatcom
and Skagit counties have been pur-
chased, and others are being negotiated
for. The deal has been conducted so
secretly that nobody suspected what
was in progress until to-day. The pub
lie has not yet heard of it. Options on
fish traps were secured thirty to sixty
days ago by r. Onffrey and E. Bartlett
Webster, representing themselves and
capitalists of Chicago and New York.
Ten days ago the options were taken
up and the first payments, due Febru-
airy 1, were promptly met.
Over 81, 900 is said to be involved
in the deal, three-quarters of which
will be spent in acquiring fish traps
and other sources of supply, together
with appliances. An immense cannery
will be built at Fairhaven and, as far
as possible, the trust will can the entire
catch of its traps.
For the past four years the salmon
canning business of Puget Sound has
been growing by leaps and bounds The
new Canadian regulations are driving
Frazer River Gamers to American
waters and it was expected many new
canneries would be erected this season.
The formation of the salmon trust will
change these plans. Since the new
canneries must obtain their supply
from the traps which the trust has
purchased, the trust will hold the key
to the situation so far as salmon can
ming Is concerned. Together with the
Alaska Packers Association, owning
immense canneries at Blaine and Point
Roberts, it will be able to dictate the
price of fish and, consequently, the
price of canned salmon
The traps secured by Onffrey and
Webster include the most famous
money makers on the lower sound
traps which have fairly coined money
for their owners during good seasons.
Among them are Wright's, Pixies, XIII
dale's and Alsop's. 1t is believed the
purchasers are connected with Booths
fish trust, recently organized In Chi
cago, and having for it's object the con-
troll of all important sources Of fish
supply In the United States.

CANADIAN CABINET
MEETS IN NEW YORK
Holds a Conference With Members of
the High Joint Commits

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Almost a full
meeting of the Canadian Cabinet took
place in this city to-day. The Canadian
members of the High Joint Commission
came from Washington and from Otta-
wa arrived David Mills. A. c. Blair.
William Fielding and Clifford Sifton
members of the Laurier Cabinet. j. S.
Tarte, another member Of the Cabinet,
is expected to arrive later. The Min

Laurier and the High Joint Commits
sioners at the Waldorf-Astoria and a
long conference was held. 1t was said
that the matter under discussion was
connected with the proceedings of the
international conference, and it was
presumed that Sir Wilfrid Laurier be-
fore deciding upon some possibly i'm
portant point, desired to personally
confer with his Ministers and had
adopted the plan of meeting in New

conference will probably extend over
until Monday, when Sir Wilfrid Lau-

PROBABLY A PLAY
FOR REINFORCEMENT
An Incident on Board Of a German
Warship That Is Made Much
of by Frenchmen.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-Two German training
ships, the Charlotte and Stosch, are at
present in the Mediterranean, visiting
Algerian ports. Some surprise was
created by their putting into Oran the
other day. AT present they are at AL
giers.
1t looks as though Germany is also
making bid for impeachment. for when
a pilot boarded the Charlotte at Oran and
began to give his directions in English
her commander, Captain Vuillers. stopped
him with the observation, They only
speak two languages on board our yes
sels-German and French.
This looks like pin prick for England.
The French papers chortle over the in
cident. After all, as the eloiguement took
place on land, rapproachment may we'll
be attempted on sea.
