WILL JAN SEAL FLESH
 AT PRIBILOFF ISLANDS
(By Associated Press)

SEATTLE, Feb. IA complete cannery for the packing of seal meat was landed at the Pribiloff island seal roOkeries by the United States fisheries bureau steamer Roosevelt which has returned here from it's winter trip to the north. The gov ernment will can for export all seal meat not required for the population of the islands.
 H. J. Christoffers, assistant agent of the bureau of fisheries in charge of the Seattle office, says that the flesh of young seals is quite palatable and tender, having the consistency and texture of prime beef It has been used on the seal island for many years as the only fresh meat available, while seal brains and livers are of the fin est quality.
 One would naturally presume that because the seals live on fish their flesh would have a fishy flavor" said MT Christoffers, but this is not the the case. The fishy flavor is all in the bones and for this reason the bones are removed from the meat be- fore it is cooked. Only the shoulders are used and a three-year-old- bull will yield from 50 to 50 pounds of choice meat. It is the intention of the government to preserve all the meat of the seals killed hereafter.
 All the parts of the seal carcass will be used, making high grade sofe leather, while the lining of the throat is transformed into a very thin, tough leather"
 This year for the first time since 1910, there will be unrestricted kill ing of seals by the government, and it is expected that about 35,000 will be slaughtered, furnishing an immense quantity of meat in addition to the valuable belts. In the seven years of protection, the Pribiloff seal herd has more than doubled, the census of 1917 giving a total of 463,374 In 1916, 116,. 977 seals were born at the rookeries.
