 Freezing and Storage Prohibitive for
 American Firms.
 The government plant quotes Amer ican firms rate of 11ac per pound for freezing, inclusive of one months storage, and Hc per pound per month for storage thereafter. The American firm must furnish it's own cutler but the Canadian company reserves the right to prepare the fish for freez- ing and for preparing and boxing for shipment. For this service it is not willing to make a fixed price per pound, but advises it will perform these services at cost plus ten per cent. The government plant does not accept responsibility for the quality of it's work and requires a waiver of claims from it's customers. The ex- perience of American interests with that plant in the matter of ice does not justify them in entrusting it with valuable cargoes of fish to be frozen. Neither do the manipulations of Or ders-in-Council by the Canadian gov ernment which places American firms at a decided disadvantage, serve to encourage American interests in the establishing of freezing plants of their own at Prince Rupert lest that ever flexible weapon an Order-in-Council be invoked to place them at fur ther disadvantage in the battle for American markets. They are be tween the devil and the deep sea"

The first of the series was the card party which was given Thursday evening and which proved to have been more successful than was ever hoped for. Prizes were won by Mrs c. F. Radenbaugh and MT Nels. Gibson, which the Booby prizes were awarded to Mrs Britton and MT. Austin. After all expenses were paid the Association has left the sum of S15.00 with which to start their work.
 During the evening refreshments were served, after which Mrs. Brindle entertained the party with several Sc. lections at the piano, and Dr. Brown gave a short talk on the work the As sociation hoped to do this winter. which is to give hte necessary help to all those who are in need, old, sick o; in trouble, to the extent of it's means. All those who wish to help this good ork may apply to Dr. Brown for membership, or by patronizing their entertainments during the coming sea son.

A Later Modification of Interpreta' tions Accommodates Vancouver

 ern U. S. Markets.
 It was soon discovered that the modification of the meaning of the 0rder-in-Council was too sweeping in character for proper Canadian pro lection and that in it's zeal to favor the Grand Trunk Pacific and the gov ernment plant at Prince Rupert, the Canadian government had discrimin- ated against it's other child, the Can adian Pacific railway, operating from Vancouver, and that the new inter- pretation prevented Canadian com panies at Vancouver from buying American fish in the Prince Rupert market for shipment East via the Canadian Pacific railway. This over sight was promptly remedied. A lightning change" was affected in the interpretation of the flexible Or der-in-Council" and presto! it appear ed in a new dress which permitted the carrying of American fish in bond via Canadian bottoms only from Prince Rupert to Vancouver, thence by rail to American ports. American com panies are afforded no relief by the interpretation permitting shipments by Canadian steamers to Vancouver thence by rail to U S ports. Rates made on such combination to Puget sound and delays to such shipments before delivery to the rail line at Van couver made it more economical to sell the American catch at Prince Rupert and purchase Canadian fish for the American market.
 Decreased Price to American Fisher
 men - Increased Cost to Ameri-
 can Consumer.
 It will be apparent that these friendly acts" of the Canadian gov ernment with it's made to order" in terpretations have assured a monop- oly of American fish to it's proteges the Canadian companies, business and railroad at Prince Rupert and by shutting the American culls and sur plus fish not required for Eastern shipment out of American Western markets until they have passed thru Canadian hands, has greatly increas- ed the retail cost of halibut to the consumer in the United States mar kets and has at the same time de- creased the wholesale price paid the American fishing boats for their fish at Prince Rupert.
 Conditions Imposed Prevent Use of
 Government Plant by American
 Concerns.
 It will doubtless be claimed b. Ca nada that the freezing and storage fa- cilities of the government plant at Prince Rupert, are open to American Louses. Theoretically, yes. Pcacti cally, no. The catch and purchases oS the Canadian company are given preference at it's plant American concerns must wait Even in the fur nishing of ice for rail shipments Amer ican interests are served only alter the Canadian company's shipments
