of 1t in the future Next to II comes
the halibut. which is only in its be-
ginning. although from five to ten mil
lion dollars year are now spent upon
that industry in wages and supplies.
There are more than l.400 men EN-
ployed in halibut fishing in Alaska. and
the annual catch is almost 100000
pounds and is rapidly growing.
There are also large cod fisheries in
Alaska. and the cod are said to be
equal to those caught on the Banks Of
Newfoundland. Much of the cod Ash
ing is about the Aleutian Islands. and
there are many vessels and stations de-
voted to the industry. The amount Of
cod caught last year was more than
fifteen million pounds. which was an In
crease of 20 per cent over the catch OF
the year preceding.
In addition to the ordinary cod. they
are now catching black cod. fish of
about the same size as the ordinary

restaurants make a special feature of

the backs of the fish, which are kip

They are served with drawn butter.
There is prospect that an extensive

of label which implied that it was

The label read: This salmon is war

The most of the catch went to the

l am surprised at the extent of the
fishing industry Of this part of the
world. The ocean floors of southeast

many varieties: and there are large

There are many fish in Boring sea, and
the Yukon and kuskokwim rivers are
filled with fish of one kind or another
The total value of the Alaskan catch
for 1914 was almost s2O,00O.0 900, and
altogether we have caught enough fish
In these waters to equal about thirty
times what We paid for the territory.
The total value up to date has been

The most of this has been made up

varieties. but none of these can COM
pare with the possibilities, suggested by
the further crossing of some of the
japanese varieties with some of the
forms that deserve to be called Amer
lean.
Stimulating the breeding of goldfish
is not as fantastic a proposition as it
may appear. Those who are acquainted
with the conditions of the industry
know that fabulous prices are paid by
wealthy connoisseurs for a single fish
of select breed. A specimen exhibited
at the bureau of fisheries was valued
at $1,000.
The vogue that goldfish acquired in
Japan and which is retained with an
ever-increasing popularity may be
transplanted in America with note
worthy effect. says DR. Smith. The love
of the purely beautiful which pervades
all classes there is an index of sig
nihcant feature of the Japanese char
acter. In the thousands of landscape
gardens. parks and temple grounds all
over the Land of the Rising Sun there
are lakes and ponds stocked with turtles.
carp and goldfish. and one of the ia
vorite amusements of the crowds that
flock to such places is to feed the fish.
Just as in Venice, where there Is al
ways a vender ready to supply one
with corn for the doves of st. Marks, so
at the public resorts of Japan there is
always a person ready to provide hol-
low balls of colored rice -four to be
thrown into the water. The balls are

not bend In the least.
Much of the fish in the cold storage
plant was salmon, which had been
frozen and stored away to be shipped
as needed throughout the year. In
some of the rooms / noticed that the
noses had been cut from the salmon.
The manager told me this was to mark
the character Of the fish as to it's color.
Some of the salmon have flesh which
Is white or light pink. while the flesh
OF others is red. 1t Is impossible to tell
the color of the flesh without cutting
open the fish. and so the white salmon
are marked by slicinG their noses. The
manager says there is really no differ
ence In the taste or quality of the SAL
mon according to its color. although
tne dlnerent colors bring different
price in the market
And in this connection comes a
story, which Is fairly well authenti-
Gated. of how one of the salmon kings
started his fortune in the fish industry
on the basis of the then despised light
colored salmon. This man had put
up his cannery at a location past
which the fish came in great numbers
on their way in to spawn. He was
right in his selection of a site and
the salmon were caught in vast guam
light pink variety, and the fisherman
was in despair. At that time no light :
colored salmon had been shipped and
the demand everywhere was for SAL
mon of an almost red hue. The man

Rupert is the baby port of the north
ern Pacific. but 1t has already become
one of the fishing centers of this part
of the world. Nevertheless. the town
is only six years of age. and the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway. which connects
it with the east, has just begun to
run its through cars. The place al
ready has more than S5,0O0,0O0 invested
in it's fisheries, and included in that
amount are thirty-five canneries and
seven large cold storage plants. Prince
Rupert has hundreds of sailing vessels
that are now going back and forth to
and from our fishing grounds. 1t has
ninety-nine gasoline launches used for
the same purpose and forty-one hsh-
ing vessels moved by steam. There
are about fifty American boats that
land cargoes of fish here every week,
and each train that goes eastward over
the Grand Trunk Pacific railway carries
carloads of fresh fish to the cities of
the United States. More than quar-
ter of million pounds of halibut were
recently sent to New York and Boston
in a single train load. and more than
two hundred million pounds of that fish
have been landed here in one year.
The fish are packed in ice the moment
they are taken from the sea. and are
kept in cold storage cars until they
reach the market. which is less than
two weeks from the time they leave
the hook. / am told that fish can be
kept perfectly fresh for a month by
the present methods of catching and
packing.
The most of the fresh fish shipped in
this way are halibut, which are caught

ing the placing of Alaskan hall
but and salmon on the breakfast tables
of the people of the United States.
This business has been rapidly grow
ing. The fish have been caught in
Alaskan waters. put upon ice and
brought to ketchikan. from where they
were shipped to Seattle. At Seattle they
were put in cold storage cars and sent
over the American railroads to the
markets.
Now the Canadians have established
new fishing port at Prince Rupert,
b. c. This port is the terminus of the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway. 1t is 500
miles nearer the fishing grounds than
Puget sound. and ii is claimed that fish
from our Alaskan waters can be land
ed there and be transported through
Canada to our cities two days sooner
than when shipped via Seattle. This
means that, If other conditions are
equal, most of the fresh fish caught in
Alaskan waters for shipment to the
east will be shipped from Prince Ru-
pert, and that il will become the head
quarters of the Alaskan fishing indus

supplies from the Canadian stores. In

down into the sea in such a way that
the baited hooks rest on the bed of the
ocean. The lines are of great length.
Some of them are sixty miles long, so
long that when loaded with fish it
takes the steam engine on the fishing
vessel the better part of a day to wind
them up. They are divided into sec
lions, each section having a float or
buoy that rests on the surface. and is
marked by flag in the daytime and at
night by a light. The line lies right
on the bed of the sea. Attached to it
are hundreds of hooks and each hook
is baited. The halibut swallows the
bait and is caught on the hook and
held there until the line is drawn up.
These fish always feed on or close to
the bed of the ocean.
Some halibut fishing is now carried
on direct from the ship. A few years
ago it was all done in dories small
boats, which were taken out for the
purpose in large vessels. The men
would go out in the dories to set the
lines and later bring the halibut back
TO the vessel.
The fishing parties usually stay out
from ten days to three weeks. They
carry ice with them and the moment
the fish are taken from the hook they
are cleaned and put in the ice and
kept there until they reach the cold
storage plant. They are washed as
soon as they are landed and shipped in
cold storage cars direct to the mar
kets, or they may be kept for some
time before shipping In the latter
case they put into freeZerS, where
they remain for twenty-four hours at
temperature of ten or twenty degrees
above zero.

with the contents changed at frequent
intervals.
The bureau of fisheries is greatly in
terested in the establishment of
aquarium societies and in the increased
attention to water life that is thereby
aroused. The greater the knowledge of
the habits and needs of water animals
and sympathy with the work of the bu-
reau in conserving the fishes and other
inhabitants of our ponds, lakes, streams
and coastal waters"
A growing interest is said to exist
in the United States in the keeping
and cultivation of goldfish. This in
terest is one phase of the attention
which young and old are devoting to
the study and care of living creatures.
1t is aided in big cities by the facility
with which desirable material may be
obtained at reasonable prices for
stocking aquaria and ponds.
The Aquarium Society desires to &C
ceIerate the development of this in
terest and to stimulate it in such a
way that the public may be awakened
to complete understanding of the
fundamentals which underlie and gov
ern what aquarium lovers call a bal
1t is intended also to organize search
ing parties to visit the many tribu-
taries of the Potomac and nearby
streams to hunt aquatic specimens,
study their scientific worth and discuss
the results of their researches at the
societys meetings. These meetings
will occur every month, and will be
open to the public for the discussion of
timely aquatic subjects.
1t is to be hoped that a magazine
may be published at some future date
which will be devoted to the many sub
jects and interests allied with aquatic
life In short, the aim of the society
will broaden the support of the
public grows stronger and keen inter-
est begins to manifest itself; this, the
supporters deem inevitable, the
whole question is one which teens with
genuine educative value. Or it may
be approached from the artistic stand
point, and the installation of goldfish

the fish themselves are beautiful and
interesting. but because their presence
helps to exert a truly cultural in

the waters of Alaska. They move about
in large schools, some of which cover
several square miles. Twice a year
they swim to the shores to spawn. They
come by the millions. and in such large
schools that they can be scooped up
from the water right into the boats.
Last year great haul was made along
the face of the dock of the New Eng
land Fish Company at ketchikan. One
end of the net was made fast to the
wharf, and the herring were dragged
out by the thousand. At that same
time more than 1000 barrels of herring
were taken up by four seines in the
Tongas narrows
One way of catching these fish is by
driving nails into a board so that they
stick out several inches. The boards
are then dragged through the shoals
and the fish catch between the nails
and are pulled by the boardfuI into
the boats. In one year more than a
million pounds of herring were caught
at Prince Rupert and frozen by the
cold storage plants to be sold for bait.
Something like $4,000 pounds of cod
fish are annually taken for the same
purpose.
The most of the ha1ibut are caught
with the hook and line. The fishing
however, has nothing gamey or sport
ing about it, The lines are dropped
