LossTERs FOR FRISCO.
First Shipment Known Made from
Portland to Pacific Coast.

Portland, Me, Nov. 19-For the first
time in the history of the lobster trade
barrel of Holsters weighing so
pounds was shipped by S. A. Skillngs
& Son to the Western Fish Co. of San
Francisco. 1t will take six days for
the Holsters to reach their destination
and the farthest point they have ever
been shipped heretofore has been to
Denver where it takes four days for
them to be delivered. At Chicago the
Holsters will be iced again and possibly
at one other point on the way the ice
will be renewed in the barrel
The usual weight shipped from Port
land to Chicago is 140 pounds but ow-
ing to the long distance there are go
ing only 80 pounds were placed in the
barrel. The Holsters were packed in
rock weed which is not usually done.
The Western Fish Co. takes all the
FISK Of shipment and hopes to open a
market for Holsters on the Pacific
coast where the only fish they have
which resembles a lobster in taste or
appearance is the craw fish If this
shipment is successful it Will probably
result in an increased trade for the
'obster men here.
The close time on Nova Scotia lob
sters will end Dec Is, but it makes
little difference to the. Portland dealers
as all Nova Scotia Holsters are shipped
directly by boat to Portland.
