HALIBUT PRICE HIGHEST IN THE
 FISH INDUSTRY
Local Fishermen Unable to Go to the Banks Because of Stormy
 Weather.

Halibut is the highest in price in the history of the industry on the Pacific Coast and at the present time is bringing from 12 to 15 cents per pound in Seattle, with but very little offered.
 The present stormy weather makes it impossible for the larger boats to fish on the ocean banks off the Alaskan coast, and the smaller boats are also greatly ham, dicapped on the inside waters of Southeastern Alaska by the freez- ing weather encountered. The To- cal halibut dealers do not expect muchc fish to be caught until about the first of February. In the mean time it is likely that the price will range around 15 cents per pound.
 With halibut at it's present high price, the fishermen would reap a harvest if the weather would break so they could fish because they op- crate on shares and the higher the price the larger the share paid to each fisherman.

WILLIAM PAL0 IS
 FOUND GUILTY OF
 A SERIOUS CRIME

William Palo was found guilty last night by the jury hearing his case on the charge of assault with a dan gerous weapon. Palo was charged with having used a pocket knife on Oscar Forstrom during fight in the Yukon Bar last winter.
 The evidence in the case was very conclusive. to the minds of the jury, and they were out but a short time before returning the verdict of guilty.
 The evidence was to the effect that Palo and Forstrom had been unfriendly for some time and that numerous fights had occurred be- tween the two men previous to the cutting. During the day. before the cutting took place. Forstrom and several Of his countrymen had been around town drinking together and finally Forstrom and Palo met in the Yukon Bar. Palo nagged at Fors- from and tried to get him to fight, but as Forstrom was leaving the next day for Whitehorse to go to work. he told Palo to forget their differences. While the men were standing at the bar Palo suddenly
 dashed ForsJrom with his pocket knife, innicting two dangerous cuts on his abdomen, above and below the belt. The two men then clinched and were rolling on the floor when the officers appeared on the scene.
 Forstrom was sent to the St. Ann Hospital for treatment and for sev- eral weeks lowered between life and death. Palo was sent to the Federal iail after he had been searched and ! bloody pocket knife had been 'ound in one of is pockets by. the of- ticers.
 Palo during the course of the pres. ent trial admitted on the witness ,tand that he drew his pocket knife and opened 1t before he started the light with Forstrom.
