were soon reviewer OF their burdens
and turned into the pasture. Boni-
eacio took the native muleteer away
to his quarters and Gerry and the
stranger passed through the house to
the kitchen.
A patriarchal hospitality came nat
urally to the inmates of Fazenda
Flores. 1t was tradition not only on
that plantation but throughout vast
hinterland, where life was rude and

ing. There was but one rule to the
stranger: He must keep his eyes to
the front. Jake Kemp had evidently
learned the brief code. He ate raven
ously, poured down coffee with the
recklessness Of man that draws on
limitless power to sleep, and made
his few remarks to Gerry and to Ger
~ alone.
Gerry was feeling strange elation
that he strove in vain to account for.
This was an American but beyond that
they had nothing in common. New
York and Texas are connected only by
fiction. Perhaps it was just curiosity.
Curiosity invaded linn. What was a
Texas cowboy doing on the road past
Fazenda Flores with a mule-train of
orchids? AS an opener he declared
himself. "My names Gerry Lansing"
he said. "I've settled down here"
"So?" said Kemp, as he drew from
his vest pockets the markings of ciga-
rette. Gerry had seen the yellow pa
pers and the little bags of faxed to-
bacco. They struck convincingly tie

complished the cigarette.

an idea to establishing a link, like
you.''
"Reckon you're I'm Moo Yawk," was
Kemp's next deliberate contribution
to the conversation.
With that, talk Jagged. Gerry in
stinctively avoided the question direct
and Kemp vouchsafed nothing more.
Not till Gerry came upon him hitching
up his loads early next morning did
he speak again and then he said with
a CLINT in his eye that was almost a
smile, II guess them's the first orchids

diamond hitch"
Here was an opening but it came
too late. Gerry did not try to follow
1t up. Once more in the saddle Kemp
seemed to acquire sudden new ease
of body and mind. He hung by one
knee and stirrup and leaned over
toward Gerry. stranger" he said,
"I'm much obliged to ye. It's a long
way FIN the Alamo to Moo Yawk, but
the hull country's under one fence"
He waved his hand and was gone af-
ter his pack-train, lifting his mule with
his goose-necked spurs into a protest
ing canter. Two weeks after his pass
ing, as evening was settling on Fa-
zenda Flores, the echo of a mules
mincing steps on the bridge made Ger
ry look up from his work.
'Howdy," said Kemp and paused on
that to measure his welcome. He was
satisfied and urged his tired mule on
towards the house. Gerry walked be-
side him and learned that the ship
'ment of orchids had just caught the
steamer at the coast. Kemp unsaddled
his mule and tossed the harness and
'slicker upon the veranda. AS Gerry
was closing the gap into the pasture
Kemp came up and stood beside him.

usual solid lines Of plantation head
quarters. Great, rough-hewn beams;
towering rafters, built to carry the
heavy tiles and to bear their burden
for generations; unceiled, vast rooms
with calcimined walls; all these were
not outside Gerry's experience in the
new land. The strangeness came with
the rugs and the linen, the etchings
and the furniture, and last and most
significant, the shelves and shelves Of

Kemp took a cigarette from his

Gerry shook his head. Kemp drew

ragged clipping. One could read in

sons for each.
 From about the middle of May to the middle of July the halibut feed on the banks off the coast of Oregon and Washington. From about Aug. 1 to Nov. 1, the best grounds are in Hecate straits, south of Prince Ru- pert and Ketchikan. After Novemb- CT and until about April, most of the fish are caught from Icy straits just south of Juneau to the most northerly and western known feeding grounds .-Portlock bank.
 The halibut fishing on the coast was inaugurated in the early eighties, when an American company operating from Puget Sound, commenced fish ing halibut for local consumption and for Eastern markets, making ship ments by refrigerator car service fur nished by the Northern Pacific Rail way company, which had completed it's road to tide water on Puget Sound. This company operated one small fishing vessel and iced and loaded it's catch into cars on the open dock of the railway company at Tacoma.
 From this small beginning, which was entirely experimental the Ameri- can fresh fish industry grew and ex- banded so that in 1914, before Can ada had commenced the campaign for it's absorption, the American invest ment represented a cash outlay O. over $5,0OO.OO0. The halibut and sal. mon fleet aggregated nearly four hun dred American documented vessels, and the vessels and freezing and stor- age plants furnished employment to thousands of American citizens.
 The First Canadian Try For Ameri-
 can Markets.
 The first attempt by Canada to com pete in the American markets, was made by the Canadian Pacific Railway company-a government aided road in 1899, when through it's influence an order in council was procured accord ing to certain American vessels sub sidized to fish for American markets from Canadian port, the hitherto un- granted privilege of discharging the American catch in Canada in bond for movement to a United States mar ket through Canada free from the payment of the Canadian duties. This was ostensibly open to all American boats, but contained the restriction direct from vessel to cars" which re- striction was not enforced against the subsidized interests which establish ed freezing plants at Vancouver, BIC.
