The whaling Industry Is having q
good season this year, In spite OF the.
dark predi ctions which have been.
made recently: Owing to the tremen-
dous dividends which have been paid
xpon the whaling companies' shares
during the last two Of. three years
there were several new companies:
started and everybody thought that
the limit had been overreached. The
shares OF nearly all the companies
went down on the exchange and It
had been predicted that several new
ventures would not be able to earn
anything. But as the season draws
toward the end the reports from the
different hunting grounds are very IA.
vorable and many companies have al
ready closed their books and divided
enormous profits among their stock
holders. It is estimated that this sea-
son will show nearly 25,000,000 crowns
as net profit from the whaling indus
try OF the country. It is fact, how
ever, that the amount OF whales shot
far surpasses the natural yearly out
put OF the species and it is pity to
note the fact that several of the hunt,
ing expeditions kill SO many animals
that they only take the latest part of
the blubber and let the balance of
the carcass go adrift. In time to come
this will undoubtedly be sorely re-

lay his hands on the money in the

his wife to Roanoke, and on tho night

the government for all but $1,000 of tho

Silsberger. who spoke with slight

taken the money because his salary,
$50 month, was not sufficient to make
both ends meet
