Snow Upon Foliage.

Tsurayuki of Japan (88o-o5o) probably
was the ranking poet of his day. His stanza
about winter exquistely portrays the effect
OF snow upon foliage;
When falls the snow, 10! every herb and
tree,
That in seclusion through the wintry
hours
Long time had been held fast, breaks
forth in flowers
That neer in spring were known upon the
lea.

has nothing gamey or sporting about it.
The lines are dropped down into the sea in
such way that the bated hooks rest on the
bed of the ocean. The lines are of great
length. Some of them are 90 miles long, so
long that when loaded with fish it takes the
steam engine on the fishing vessel the better
part of day to wind them up. They are
divided into sections, each section having
float or buoy that rests on the surface, and
is marked by a flag in the daytime and at
night by light. The line lies right on the
bed of the sea. Attached to it are hundreds
of hooks and each hook is baited. The hall
but 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.

markets in the eastern part of the United
States. They are consigned to wholesale
dealers, who usually have their sales on Fri
days, so that if they arrive earlier in the
week they have to wait until then before
they go to the retailers. 1t takes about TO-
600 pounds of fish to make one carload.
Large quantities of fish are now frozen
and held here for some time before shipping.
A great deal of balibut is sailed and put in
hogsheads for shipment Each hogshead
holds about $50 pounds, and when full it is
worth about $lO0. The halbut intended for
sailing is dressed before it is packed. 1t is
hung by the gills to a hook, and is then
sliced in two, the back and the front form
ing great slabs of snow-white meat. The
backbone is cut out the front or belly has
no bones After cleaning, the slabs are
sprinkled with salt and put into the hog,-
heads in layers, with layer of salt between
each two layers of fish. Some halbut is
smoked, and in this form it may be found N
almost any grocery store.
During my stay in Prince Rupert and
Ketchikan | have gone through some of the
big freezing establishments. Each town has
its cold storage plants, where haibut and
salmon are frozen to be kept for some time
before shipment The frozen fish are not
thawed until they reach the larger cities and
towns of the United States, where they are
sold l wish | could take you through the
biggest cold storage plant of Prince Rupert.
1t has a capacity of 100000 pounds OF
fish Its buildings are right on the harbor,
and the fish are frozen stiff as soon as they
come from the wharves.
During my stay have gone through the
freezing chambers, whose walls and pipes
are covered with frost. Their temperature
is far below zero The cold air is produced
by the use of ammonia. and the smell OF the
ammonia almost overcame me as | walked
between the great masses OF fish laid one
upon another, like so many sticks OF core
wood. | took up one of the smaller fish anf
let it drop on the floor. 1t was as hard "a
stone and the noise was like the crack OF {
pistol | examined the fish, but there wa:
no bruse nor dent in the flesh. | stood it OF
end, resting the tail on the floor, and 1t die
not bend in the least.
Much OF the fish in the cold storage plan
was salmon, which had been frozen anf
stored away to be shipped as needed
throughout the year. In some OF the rooms
l noticed that the noses had been cut from
the salmon. The manager told me this wa
to mark the character of the fish as to 1t
color. Some of the salmon have flesh which
is white or light pink while the flesh of 9th
ers is red. 1t is impossible to tell the colo
of the flesh without cutting open the fish
and so the white salmon are marked b.
slicing their noses. The manager says Their
is really no difference in the taste or qualit.
of the salmon according to its color, al
though the different colors bring differen
price in the market.
And in this connection comes a story
which is fairly we'll AUTHENTICATED OF hoV

PRINCE RUPERT, B. {

:: !: :: !: :: !: 8: !: !:
STH-oQlllo.%3 HAVE come from Alaska to
Mn British Columbia to write
M Ill lN of an international cOmpll-
vel I'LL ISM cation regarding the plac-
IN - ~ ing of Alaskan halibut and
SGYS&S4 salmon on the breakfast
tables of the people OF the
United States. This business has been rap
idly growing. 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. I.
This port is the terminus of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway. 1t is 600 miles near
er the fishing grounds than Puget sound,
and it is claimed that fish from our Alaskan
waters can be landed there and be trans
ported 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 Alas
kan waters for shipment to the east will be
shipped from Prince Rupert and that it will
become the headquarters of the Alaskan
fishing industry Our fishermen will come
here to live and they will buy their fishing
supplies from the Canadian stores In other
words, the Canadians rather than the Alas
kan Americans, will get the chief profits out
OF the business.

salmon are running. They are exported in
a frozen state from the cold storage plants
throughout the winter The exports of
Alaskan halbut are rapidly increasing. 1t
used to be that all the fish of this kind con-
sumed in Our markets came from the Allan
tic ocean Eighty-hve per cent of it now
comes from the Pacific ocean, and the bulk
from the fishing banks off the coast of Alas
ka. Alaskan halibut is now used in almost
every part of the United States.
The fishing center of the territory is still
Ketchikan and there are also fleets that
make their headquarters at Petersburg, Ju-
neau and elsewhere The extent of the fish
ing grounds is enormous, There are some
banks that seem to be paved with halibut
and the vessels bring them in by the thou
sands of pounds. A single party has been
known to catch 100000 pounds in day and
$4,000 pounds day is not uncommon. NOT
long ago one of the boats that went out
from Ketchkan brought in more than a
quarter of million pounds of fish. The
whole cargo had been caught i'll one week,
and every pound of it had been taken with a
hook and line.

And in this connection comes story,
which is fairly we'll AUTHENTICATED, of how
one of the salmon kings started his fortune
in the fish industry on the basis OF the then
despsed light-colored salmon. This man
had put up his cannery at location past
which the fish came in great numbers on
their way in to spawn. He was right in his
selection of site and the salmon were
caught in vast quantities. They were all,
however, of the 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 salmon Of
an almost red hue. The man canned his
catch and sold it by means of label which
implied that it was the only sanitary fish on
the market The label read: This salmon
is warranted not to turn red in the can
The most of the catch went to the southern
states, and the drummers selling it did their
business so we'll that in many of the cities Of
that locality you can hardly sell red sal
mon. The people think it is spoiled, and
has, therefore, turned red i'll the can.
am surprised at the extent of the fishing

In order to bring this about the Canadian
parliament has recently passed laws enabling
American fishermen and American vessels
to land their cargoes at Prince Rupert free
OF all duties, and to send them in bond over
their railroad through Canada on the way
to our markets. The citizens of Prince Ru-
pert are doing all they can to encourage the
industry, and as a result the people of south
eastern Alaska are greatly excited The
town council of Ketchikan and its CONNER
cial club have requested Secretary Redfield
of our department of commerce to give them
protection, and bills to that end will probab-
ly be introduced into congress this session.
The Alaskans demand that all fish caught in
Alaskan waters, if shipped free of duty to
the United States markets. shall be sent out
from American ports and they say that the
Canadian railroads which carry the fish can
easily send boats to Ketchikan, which is only
a half day away, for their cargoes.

Some halibut fishing is now carried on
was all done in dores or small boats, which
were taken out for the purpose in large yes
sells. 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 markets, or they
may be kept for some time before shipping.
In the latter case they are put into freezers,
where they remain for "a hours at temper
AZURE of 10 or 20 degrees above zero.
The next step is to dip each fish four or
five times in fresh water until it becomes en-
tirely incased in a thin sheet of clear ice. 1t
can then be held in cold storage at tenn
perature OF four degrees below freezing un-
til it is needed for export. The fish get a
fresh coating of ice before they are shipped.
They are then wrapped separately in vege-
table parchment paper, and are packed In
paper-lined boxes of 375 pounds capacity
and sent eastward in the cold storage trains.
The bulk of the halibut fishing is now
done by independent fishermen in small
boats, although there are fishing companies
with fleets of large vessels The companies
buy from the independents.
The fishermen who go out with the
steamers are often paid by their catch; and

| have become greatly interested in the
halbut industry during my stay in Alaska
The fish is one of the most interesting that
swim the seas. 1t is the largest of the flat
fishes. | have seen many which, if stood
upon their tails, would reach high above my
head and some which | venture are over
three feet i'll width The average halibut
weighs about 100 pounds, and some have
been caught that may weigh as much as 800.
The halbut swims on the bottom OF the
sea, and chiefly on banks, several hundred
feet below the surface. 1t devours all sorts
of fishes. One of its favorite foods is the
herring, which is caught here in great guam
titles and frozen that it may be kept and used
for bait
The herring are found in nearly all 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 bV 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 thou
sand. 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 driv-
ing nails into board SO that they stick out
several inches The boards are then dragged
through the shoals and the fish catch be-
tween the nails and are pulled by the board
full into the boats. In one year more than a
million pounds OF herring were caught at
Prince Rupert and frozen by the cold stor-
age plants to be sold for bait. Something
like $4,000 pounds of Goldfish are annually
taken for the same purpose.
The most of the halibut are caught with
the hook and line The fishing, however,

From what | saw here the fears of the
Alaskans seem we'll founded. Prince Rupert
is the baby port of the northern Pacific, but
it has already become one of the fishing cen
tiers of this part of the world. Nevertheless,
the town is only six years of age, and the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway which con-
meets it with the east, has just begun to run
its through cars. The place already has
more than S5,00O000 invested in its fish
cries, and included in that amount are IS
canneres and seven large cold storage
plants Prince Rupert has hundreds of sail
ing vessels that are now going back and
forth to and from Our fishing grounds. it
has 90 gasoline launches used for the same
purpose and 4 fishing vessels moved by
steam There are about so American boats
that land cargoes of fish here every week,
and each train that goes eastward over the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway carries car
loads of fresh fish to the cities of the United
States. More than a quarter OF million
pounds of halibut were recently sent to New
York and Boston in single train load. and
over 2O0000,0O0 pounds Of that fish have
been landed here in one year. The fish are
packed in ice the mC~lent they are taken
from the sea, and are sept in cold storage
cars until they reach sc market, which IS
less than two weeks from the time they leave
the hook ! am told that fish can be kept
perfectly fresh for month by the present
methods of catching and packing.
The most of the fresh fish shipped in this
way are halibut, which are caught through
out the year. Fresh salmon are sent only
