New-York tribune., 1905-01-22
By p. 7. McGrath

catches were so small that every year there were
fewer vessels engaged In the work.
Compelled by these adverse conditions to devise
some other expedients for continuing in business
which represented livelihood to them the Norwegians
turned their attention to the chase of the rorqual
whales in the around their coast The practice
of employing rOwboats found to be unsatisfactory
and dangerous against adversary swift cunning
and fierce, and abandoned, and the modern
system gradually perfected, of using small speedy
steamers, specially built for the work, and attacking
the whale with a the bow, which discharges
bomb harpoon that eXplodes and kills the creature
Furthermore, the old time habit to hense ire
the outer coat of fat or bubber) the whale at
and try the oil from this fat in boilers the
whae-ship's deck, then abandoning the krang,
carcass the sharks to sink to bottom, although
this represented the flesh and skeleton or vesiXths
OF the total bulk of the creature besides much of the fat
which adhered thereto, wasteful was the process
of hensing in those days But by the modern method
the whale towed land, and all the oil extracted
from the fat flesh and bones by steam heat in whale
factory" and lattery the residue has been converted
fertilizer and by-products while the baeen though
not nearly SO long as that OF the bowhead is still
of assured commercial value.
Hence it is that while the rorqua yields less bone
oil the conversion marketable products of every
scrap of his anatomy together with the economical
conduct of the business that whales abundant
and killed the coast with only small outlay
for coal and crew, makes the enterprise extremely
renunerative one The greater of the whales also
in this: the rorqual IS OF the largest in
bulk and weight of all creatures that have in
habited the land since the world was made.
X
OF the three varieties into which this species is sub
divided, the greatest-the "blue-back" or sulphur
bottom is sometimes ninety feet long, and weighs
as many tons, this being about one-third more than
the weight of bowhead cachalot. This whale owes
both its popular names TO its color. The NOrwegans
call It the first from its blushgray back and sides, while
the Newfoundlanders dub it the latter owing to the
yellowish tint of its underbody. The humpback,
the second of the rorqual family is designated from
the low hunp-like form of the dorsal fin, and runs
from fifty to seventy feet, sometimes yielding as
much oil as a blueback The third is the" tinback,
the graceful and active of all the whale genera
1t ranges from forty to sixty feet long and while
its baleen small IS noted for its excellence being
the finest in quality next to tha- OF the bowhead
The gross weight of these Is from fifty to
hundred and they equal in size and power
to SIX eight elephants evidenced by the fact that
New-York tribune., 1905-01-22

they will tow whaling steamer of hundred tons,
with her crew. coal stores and equipment and engines
reversed, through the water for hours at tenknOt
clip, when the harpOOn fails to strike vital part,
until pain and loss of blood render them helpless.
The greatest resort of these rorqual whales to-day
is the Newfoundland seaboard, for there are found
in abundance the aninacule and small fishes they
use for food They may be killed within few miles of
the shore and sometimes many five got in
a single day by steamer.
In manufacturing them every portion of the animal
is put to use. When the whale is tOwed in heavy
chains attached to its tail and 1t IS dragged by
steam power up a s1anting wharf machinery being
able to lift it bodily, Then the fat is stripped off,
into chunks, fed to mincer which reduces it to
particles, thence emptied into tank where steam
heat extracts the oil and ultimately the refuse passes
to the guano- house. The meat contains perCen-
tage of oil also. which is expressed in the same man
ner and the residue adds to the stock of guano The
bones comprising the structural parts chopped up,
ground to powder and mixed with the meat for the
fertilizer. The baleen is ceansed, and the fins
cut off, being of similar material, and utilized for
much the same purposes To such perfection has the
business been brought in Newfoundland that factory
can dispose of four whales every day.
The gains from this business are enormous. Whaling
companies earn annual dividends of forty to fifty
per cent and the shippers of the whaling steamers,
who handle the harpoon-gun as well, make from
twenty-five hundred to three thousand dollars a
year ordinary members OF the crew pocketing eight
hundred a thousand. Consequently there is
wild rush to engage in 1t, and whaling companies
are being promoted on every hand The Newfoundland
Government limits every factory to fftynle coast
area and allows only steamer to each, eXacting
a fee of fifteen hundred dollars year for license.
1t has over fifty applications for these and the
movement has spread to Canada, also which Govern
ment having nearly forty applications before 1t, is
enacting legislation to the effect as Newtound-
lands; so that every foot of the British North
American seaboard will be patrolled, and the speedy
depletion of the gigantic CetaCeans be accomplished
Old whalemen however, say that the industry
should exist for thirty years to This new wha-
ing method was introduced into Newfoundland only
years ago and its progress has been something
phenomenal The value of the products has grown
within that time from fifteen thousand six hundred to
five hundred and ninetythree thousand dollars and IN
1904 probably reached million and quarter through
the larger take and the doubled quantity of by
products because all the guano houses were not IN u
operation until late in the previous season Every
whaling institution employs hundred men constant
w. in conducting the various processes, and the
industry is of greater Importance to the island
than its celebrated sea-hshery.
AS illustrating the changed conditions in the island
New-York tribune., 1905-01-22

NCRlAG Ioo5 no fewer than eight hundred and fifty
4 j nine whales were killed IN Newfoundland
waters and last year the catch should have
reached two thousand as ten steamers operating
against only four previously. This enormous total
VIII be quadrupled few years hence when the industry
is extended Labrador and maritime Canada and
the world then viii witness slaughter of these crea-
tures unequaled IN ancient or modern times.
The whales which form the object of this industry
termed rorquas and altogether distinct from
the better-known and almost extinct species
the boWhead Arctic whale and the cachalot
sTerrn-Waae. Both of these latter have been vr-
tually eNterrInated by mans relentless pursuit for
hundreds OF wears, until to-day the chase of them
being abandoned because 1t Is absolutely unproduc
tive The rorqual has owed its immunity from capture
heretofore its nomadic habits, its high speed, de-
fying al efforts OF rOwbOats sailing ships

winter flom the sparsely settled
districts on the grounds that
sufficient interest would not be
taken to call out representative
vote. But the same doubtless is
true in such localities in holding
caucuses and conventions. We
see n reason why after year or
two, at most, there would not be
a greater interest in direct pri-
mary than there now is IN the
caucus.
The bill introduced last winter
had some objectional features,
but that does not argue that a
good law on that question can
not be made. 1t will be directly
in the interests of the people if
properly framed.

himself in behalf of an appealing
platform may rest assured that
his labors strike home to the
heart of the community by their
exalting influence upon the pub
lie ideal. He may not make
dollars out of public affairs, he
may become the laughing stock
of vulgar manipulators-wise
guys, but despite it all he touches
vital spot of the national life
with bene6ceuce. And he has
the consciousness of services
rendered which will in time bear
the best kind of fruit for all con-
cerned. Let us then still be
hopeful an do the best we can.
Decay is essential to reorgan-

mates and nourishes an upbuild-

litical ethics reflect the morality
of the citizenship. And the
elevation of politics can best be
accomplished by cultivating
higher and purer ideals in the

! To the young-the rising
generation-l would especially
recommend the cultivation of
honesty and the contemplation
of ideals. Not for the sake of
wealth in money, not for praise
or glitter, but for the satisfaction
of your own conscience, for the
calm and purity of your own soul.
The consciousness of having
done right, the knowing that
you have rendered honorable
service to your felloWmen makes
room in your heart for an extacy
of feeling unknown to the greed y
selfish and narrow minded.

on earth. Salvation comes from
within; money, place, power, all
cannot buy it.
There is but one redemption
between man and Omnipotence,
viz: conduct and thought-your
life!

State Treasurer Mortensen's
name has been added to the list
of those who have returned their
passes. When a thief broke in
to the treasurer's house and stole
his ANNALS and some other valu-
ables, Treasurer Mortensen noti-
fed the railroads of the theft of
the pasteboards. The roads so
notified renewed them. In the
meantime the republican state
convention had adopted a plank
declaring railroad passes to be
detrimental to the interests of
the people and then Treasurer
Mortensen promptly returned the
passes with his compliments.
The state officers who have re-
turned their passes are Governor
