The first shipment of Columbia river fresh salmon to Copenhagen, Denmark, was recently made when the steamship Oscar II on it's last trip from New York to Copenhagen delivered S0,00O salmon at that port for consumers in COpen- hagen, Berlin. Paris, and other Euro pean cities. The fish were forwarded from the Columbia River district to New York in refrigerator cars, and to Copenhagen in cold storage, where they arrived in excellent condition. They were consigned to a prominent wholesaler in the latter city, who for warded the greater portion of them to branch houses in Berlin and Paris The construction of enormous ferries for service between the island of Den mark and the continent and the open ing of the new line a year ago have brought Copenhagen and Berlin into closer social and commercial relations. This improvement in transportation facilities between the island on which Copenhagen is located. and the conti nent is of no little economic import ance to the United States. As an achievement in modern commerce and transportation the shipment of fresh salmon from the far western part of the United States to Berlin and Paris, via Copenhagen, certainly is worthy of mention
