Heavy Herring Catch in Japan.

that upwards of 10000 tons of salt
herring have been shipped from Ma

this season by the Japanese firms who

business at Nanaimo has been a
golden harvest to the Asiatics engaged
in the trade, they having a practical
monopoly of the curing business.
There is only one white firm of any
Importance now operating there.
whereas a few years ago there was
scarcely a Jap or a Chinaman in the
herring trade in this province. There
is about a thousand tons awaiting the

Orient in few days. Her sister ship,
the Gumeric, took 1900 tons few

.CUGGENHElM RACE
AN ASSURED FACT
MONEY HAS BEEN RAISED FOR
BACKING OF TRANSCONTl-
MENTAL RUN.
Manufacturers Object to Event, But
Hearty Support Elsewhere VIII
Pull i: Through.

The transcOntinental automobile
competition for the ,Guggenheim trO-
ply is now an assured fact as Seattle
promoters have succeeded in raising
$4,000 necessary to insure the contest
The money is to be used in the pay
ment of cash prizes for the winning
cars, together with $4,000 given by Mr.
,Guggenheim. The money has been de-
posted with the contest committee.
The trophy and the cash prizes will
be delivered to the winners at an elab-
crate banquet to be given by the Seat
tie Automobile club in honor Of the VIC
tors.
According to dispatches received in
Walla Walla and elsewhere the Manu-
facturers' Contest association has
adopted resolutions in which it was de-
cided not to lend the support of the
automobile managers to the race. OBJ
lection is based on the fact that the
entry blanks characterized the contes:
as a race" thereby encouraging the
ing ordinances in force in the great
majority of states to be traversed by
the contestants. There is no doubt
however that the transcontinental
event will be held.
The manufacturers contest associa-
ton is evidently laboring under a mis-
apprehension, for at no time has the
event been designated as other than a
contest, and in no part of the entry
blanks, is it referred to as a race.
The news that the necessary money
has been raised in Seattle to insure the
contest is more than welcome to the
automobile association of Walla Walla
as they are counting on entertaining
the pathfinder car on it's arrival as
well as providing for the proper recep-
ton of the contesting cars when they
pass through the city.
