THE CLOSED HALIBUT SEASON.

That there should be closed habut season i agreed by virtually all interested parties Unrestricted taking of that species of fish, at all of tht regardless of the time of spawning cannot hell but constantly diminish the supply and deplete the banks from which at present goody is de rived There to be, however, difference among fishermen to the time that restrictions should be placed the halibu fishing
 The claims of the local fishermen that the spawn ing is from November until in January con- fict with the views of Seattle fishermen who arc voluntarily observing from January Is to March 15 closed season, ostensiby the reason that this is the spawning period. From Prince Rupert comes confirmation of the stand taken by the local fisher men. In warning given ed:orally to halibut in terests against taking of the fish during the spawn ing the Prince Rupert News under the caption Kill ing the Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs" said:
 In connection with the annual figures for
 the halibut fishing industry a note of
 ing might here be sounded These figures
 looked very good from business point of
 view, but there is factor that may be lost
 sight of. Towards the last of the year there
 was an exceptionally large quantity of ha-
 but marketed at this port. Some of that fish
 which came especially in the month of No
 vember, should not have been caught Pos
 sibly none of it should have been taken.
 Anyone who has the best interests of the
 halibut fishing business at heart must feel
 thls way about it. In November the ha-
 put are hled with spawn, and that month in 1921 the biggest halibut fishing
 month of the year and in the history of this
 port. Millions of future fish were sacrificed
 In the catch that made single record
 month here. The making of close season on
 halibut fishing would prevent the taking of
 these fish at this tme It is to be hoped
 that the time is not far off when this very
 necessary action will be taken While it
 might reduce the taking of fish now it would
 ensure the perpetuation of the industry The
 catching of habut thus without close
 season seems something like killing the
 soose that lays the golden eggs"
 If there is any real doubt existing as to the 'pawnng period it should be easily cleared up and H is of importance that it be done No arbitrary 9Fed season should be fixed by any certain group of hermen in combination with the buyers unless if s for the benefits sSf the industry through propaga- N or the hsh The attitude of the fishermen iowa, d foluntarlly establishing a closed season witho-; awaiting the enactment of restrictive legislation is N''iny Of commendation It shows a realization on cir p7rt of the need for preservation of t,e industry.
