ISHERIES IN
 SIBERIA ARE IN
 BAD CONDITION

Vladivostok, Oct 4.-The fishery
 eason this year must be considered
 an absolutely lost one to the Rus iians in the far East.
 The reasons for this are many First of all the industrial workers of Jikolaievsk, the peasants and the -oreign residents have suffered great Y at the hands of the partisans, the
 illage having been destroyed and burned. Secondly, the fishermen of Vladivostok, with the exception of those belonging to the smaller cor porations, did not go to the fishing grounds, political disturbances claim ing their attention more.
 Thus the fishing industry this seas on has been wholly in the hands of the Japanese. The board of the Far Eastern Fishing Industry sent only one ship this year to guard the fish cries. This was the Commander Boh- ring. Unfortunately the ship went aground several miles from Cape Lo- patka. in Kamchatka. Therefore the merchants as well as the country are faced with great losses.
 The Board of Fisheries and the fur companies have received information to the effect that unlicensed boats have made their appearance in the prohibited regions. These boats are said to be engaged in catching cod in the fisheries close to- kamchatka, WIllle OH tie iolduu Ol uluneys the crews are engaged in trapping beav- CTS.
 A considerable amount of furs. es- pecially fox. otter, sable and bear. was recently brought to Hakedate by ships of the Russian volunteer fleet. These furs were secured from the eastern and western coasts of Kam- chatka. It is also reported that a ves- sel that paid a visit to the prohibited pesetz (artic fox) nurseries carried away large quantity of contraband f11rS
