SHARK INDUSTRY
A THRIVING ONE
Over so Tons Taken In Week On Parker
IsIand-0rientals Pay High

VICTORIA, June 10-With the sup
ply of raw material unlimited, an industry
new to this country is fiourishing at
Parker Island, between Galiano and
Mayne Islands. on the Gulf of Georgia. 1t
is the business of catching sharks. and a

city. who operated the first shark catching
machinery on the island, declares there

here to Alaska are their feeding grounds.
Mr.. Macdonald said. Taking them from
the bottom of the sea IS automatic Nor

real hook for catching them. which works
ON a swivel. comes from there and the SO
called c0d-livcr oil. which invadeS the
markets of the world is really shark
liver oil, manufactured in Norway
Nothing is wasted in shark plant.
There is no finer fiSh-meat than that
made from the bodies of the sharks. As a
fertilizer it is superior to dog fish. The
head of the shark is fun of glue of a
highly valuable quality and the fins are
a much priced Chinese food delicacy,
Orientals here paying as much az SO a
pound for it. The liver content runs from

about 10 per cent is glycerine. Shark 5
teeth are in demand in many parts of the
world and fetch a high price for the man
ufacturc of ornaments. What bones there
are, and they are few. go into the fertil-
iZcr part of the industry.
The greatest interest in this new in
duStry Is being manifested in the manu-
facture of hides. Several American com
panicS have been formed and much re-
search work is being done at present. The

featuring hip-bootS from shark hides and
they are declared to be completely water

which cuts on source of income would
seem foolish to most business men.
That is what the congress did i'll max
ing the appropriations for the bureau of
standards for the year 1920-21. One of
the many valuable works of the bureau Is
the preparation of standard samples OF
IRON steel alloys, ore, etc. These are IN
demand not only by the construction de
partments of the government but by
thousands Of manufacturers who are
ready and willing to pay for them. The
appropriation for 1920 was $4,000 and
the fee value of the samples issued in that
year was more than $11 900. In spite of
that the $4,000 was refused in the next
year. . E.s g.
As the annual report of the bureau
mildly says:
: Certainly only lack of understanding
of the situation could have led congress
to fail to provide this appropriation OF
$1,000 for work which brought to the fed
eral treasury more money in fees than
the sum appropriated.
Instinctively the editorial pen starts
after congress. Shortsighted," penny
wise and pound foolish" the phrases come
at call. .
