DEsPIsE NOT THE
 HUMBLE HERRING
Chicago Fish Buyer at Prince Ru- pert Sees Great Future for
 Herring Industry

"I see no reason why Prince Ru-
 pert should not be a Western Glou.
 ccster." said Mir. Axel Johanson, ot Chicago. last evening, Judging from what have seen and 1T all | hear
 10 correct. There is big money in
 herring right now and it seems Co
 me that now is the time to get after
 these other varieties of fish which heretofore have not found a mar ! ket, The demand exists at the pres.
 cnt moment, and if this trade is cap tured now, it will stay"
 Mir. Johanson has been in the city for the past ten days looking over the possibilities of Prince Ru- pert as a fish buying center He represents a large Chicago house of fish curcrs and importers, and is on his way to Alaska to buy herring for this coming season. There is a scarcity of herring in the United States just now. Heretofore, sup plies have been got from the Allan tic coast, from Norway. from Scot land, England and Holland, but with the scarcity Of shipping, the i'm ports from Europe have fallen or, and arrivals are very indefinite. Last year was a large quantity Of salt herring shipped through this port for the United States. from Al- aska, and it is with the intention of buying further and larger quan- titles that Mir Johanson is making this trip.
 If I could buy herring here, | would" continued Mir. Johanson. or have been speaking to some of the local fishermen, and they assure me that there are an kinds of herring here practically all the year round. only they have not been gone after commercially. ! may say that the average price or herring Whlch we would pay at present is about $l5 per barrel of 200 lbs. While this is the average price. some grades would be worth more. and some less. And for good herring. there would be market an the year round.
 "Black cod put mp in the same manner. salted and barreled, would bring the same price, Sl5 per barrel, and as | understand that large quantities of this fish have been thrown away in years past, be Iieve that it is only a matter of time until you have here large in- dustrics interested in these two var ioties of fish alone, just as some other firms are interested in halibut chief Iy. The time seems 10 be ripe for. additional attention being paid to other varieties of fish, and for one, will be very pleased to gee Prince Rupert herring on the market per Rupert News.

Then came the double barrel muzzle

This improvement innovation, by the

all wanted to see whether their gun

modern improvements in fire arms
were Objectionable. The pump gun,
operated by the slide action and shoot

they contained extra loads for the kill

would escape the double barrel men

Secretary Baker Assures Sen

That There Shall Be No Dis
elimination Against South
BY THEODORE TILLER.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Continued
reports that the war department had
formulated policy against further can
torment construction in the south, and
might halt additional buildings at a
number of camps, has caused Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and Senator
Simmons. of North Carolina, to enter
vigorous protests against the rumored
discrimination.
Senator Smith wrote a letter to Gen
eral Marshall, in charge of construc-
ton, denying claims that the labor
shortage in the south was such as to
interfere with further construction at
environments. lie contended that the
labor situation is no more acute in the
south than elsewhere, and that section
was the logical place for enlarged can
comments. Copies of this letter were
sent to the higher officials of the de-
partment.
Senator Simmons today discussed the
matter with the secretary of war and
learned that he has not approved any
policy which will stop building at south"
crn environments or for the removal In
part of southern training camps. Re
ports have gone so far as to indicate
that the cause of alleged labor short
age. shipbuilding and other government
ENTERPRISES in the south would be ma
terially curtailed.
Senator Smith said today he oelleVed
+be situation is now in satisfactory
shane and there was no cause for alarm
He added. however, that the south has
RI he constantly on guard to protect its
interests and retain it's share of govern
ment enterprises as against the INDUS
trial centers of the north and east.
The war department now has in prog
ress endorsements of various southern
cantonments, but within the past few
days semi-off1cial reports have been pre-
valent here that an army board opposed
additional construction and desired to
place il elsewhere.
While the exact contents of the report
or the details of the curtailment pro-
gram are not obtainable, the conference
between Senator Simmons and Secre-
tary Baker today disclosed that such a
discriminatory policy has not been
approved by those high in authority and
indications now are the south will not
suffer.
Senator Hoke Smith and Senator Sim
mons informed the war department that
the south has not seen congested condi-
tions of the east and north, that its
railroads are not so overtaXed and con-
ditions generally favored enlargement of
existing camps in that section. Labor
he asserted, is as readily obtainable in
the south as elsewhere and Secretary
Baker admitted the truth of this state
ment.
