HAL|BUT MARKET
 TAKES A JUMP
Fish Sold Yesterday for ii Gents a Pound-Six Hundred Pounds
 Changed Hands.

SEATTLE, Jan. 12.-Halibut sold here yesterday for Il cents pound wholesale. The fish has been bring ing and 5 cents pound. The mar ket is short and only 600 pounds of fish changed hands.
 Prince Rupert, the terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific, has become great fishing port and many of the fishermen who heretofore brought their catches to Seattle for trans shipment to the eastern cities now go to Prince Rupert because it is nearer the Alaska fishing banks and the Canadian fish dealers have agreed to take all fish offered at cents pound no matter what the price may be in Seattle. This has resulted in most of the fishing boats taking the catch to the Canadian town. At Prince Rupert the fish are placed in refrigerator cars and sent to eastern cities. The catch coming from the northern waters finds ready market.
 Fishermen of this city state that the Seattle fish dealers manipulate the prices SO that the fishermen re- ceive but little for the catch. Sever a Investigations have been made but the conditions do not change. Com petition with Prince Rupert may re- suit in fairer deal in this city for the fishermen.

Naturally they move only on the best chausee roads, and these are extremely sparse in Po- land, but the frost has now set in, which will doubtless facilitate traffic of every kind, provided the snowfalls are not too heavy.

WELSH HIGH SCHOOL OPENS.

The Welsh High School opened last
Monday. Sept. 9Th, with an enrolment
of over three hundred. This is the
largest enrollement for the opening
days in the history of the high school,
and it is expected that by the end of the
week it will reach 32S. 1t has been
necessary to ad number of new desks
inthe elementary grades.
All the members of the faculty of last
session have returned. except Miss
Julia Mcmahon, who has been replaced
by Miss lone Robinson. The faculty
now stand as follows: Prof. l. r. AyleS.
worth, principal; A. S. H, Trappey,
Misses lone Robinson, Ethel Ling, Ka-
thryne Duncan. Elsie Reeve, Ruth Nc.
Lees, Marguerite Wetzel, and Daisy
Mcdowell. On account of the fact that
THIS year there IS an eleventh grade and
no extra teachers, it has been quite
difficult for the principal and his assis-
tantS to make out a satisfactory system
Of schedule of subjects. Unfortunate
ly, it has been necessary to cancel all
classes in penmanSnip, music and art,
! mechanical drawing, and manual train
ing, the latter course being the distinc.
tive feature of the school in this par
iSh. The local board and Superinten-
dent are now considering means which
will enable them to give to the Welsh
faculty another teacher, so that the
above subjects will be reinStated on the
schedules.
By the lend of the week nearly all ex
aminations for conditions will have
been disposed of, cIasSifcations com
| pIeted, and the school will be running
smoothly once more. All the apparat
us for the outdoor gymnasium is nov
being installed, and this will AFFORD
plenty of play and exercise for the
school children.
