commissioner Henry G. Thomas yet,
Int he is advised by Consul General J. G.
Foster at Ottawa that the Hon. Ray
mond Prefontaine, Canadian minister oil
marine and fisheries, has said that there
woud be no seine fishing at Misslsquoi
hav during the next two or three months.
Il will be recalled that in letter to the
secretary of the North American Fish
and Game Protective Association Feb.
ruary II Minister Prefontaine declined to
prohibit the issue of spring seining licen.
SEES to Canadian Fl hermen. The matter
was then taken up with President Roose-
welt who was understood to be willing to
see what influence he could bring to bear
upon the Canadian authorities so long as
Vermont and New York had agreed to
stop spring seining on their part, and it
is believed that this new decision OF Min.
lister Prefontaine is the result of negoti-
atoms from Washington. Eighteen bar
rels of fresh fish have been shipped from
East Alburg by Canadian fishermen
since March 1, Notwithstanding the re-
port from St. Armand, Que, that there
was no seine fishing in Canada. Tie
fishermen report unusually large hauls
for so early in the season.
