WANT FISH HOOK INVENTED HOLD
 HALIBUT BAIT
GENIUS HAS OPPORTUNITY TO DEVISE TACKLE POLLING
 THE COD.

Fortune awaits the man who shall invent a selective fish hook. Alaska demands such a device. The halibut industry is marking time awaiting its coming. So says Andy Grosvold, merchant, ship chandler, fox rancher, dealer in fsherman's supplies, post master, notary public and leading citizen of Sand Point
 Tile selective fish hook is not MT. Grcsvold's idea. He merely presents a problem for solution. Radio sets have been made selective, it is ar gued. Should American inventive genius be baked by the need of sim liar improvement in fish hooks?
 Perish the thought!
 Ralph Grosvold, son of Andrew, is still in Seattle, where he is taking a course in radio mechanics. Upon his return to his westward home, next March, he will personally oper- ate the wireless station which is owned by his father, who is perhaps better known turnout this region of the Territory as King of the

shumigan Island fox farmers.

Shumigan Island fox farmerS.
 Mrs. Ralph Grosvold passed thru Seward a few weeks ago returning home on the last trip westward of the steamer Starr.
 Sand Point is on Unga Island, way out to the wstward, so far west that it is almost to the point where the East begins. Close to the tip of the Alaska Peninsula and in sight of the Aleutian Islands that all but link Alaska With Siberia. And near Sand Point are the new halibut banks that are expected to put the Ameri- can halibut fishing industry on it's feet again-or should one say sea legs-and send largely increased car goes of that kingly fish to Seward and Seattle.
 There is just one obstacle to the rapid development of the new hali- but fisheries, and that is that the codfish are so exceedingly numerous that they constitute nuisance. Good halibut banks have been discovered around the Shumagin and Sannak Islands and that in the near future they are likely to bring quite a fleet of halibut vessels to this part of Alaska.
 Last year the halibut ship Scan- dia and several other vessels en- gagged in the same business called at Sand Point and told about the great quantities of halibut that were to be had, ad where it is claimed that the codfish were so plentiful that before their gear got half way to the bottom, there would be a cod fish on every hook. So before it would be possible to give the hali- but chance to bite, the codfish would have to be cleared out.
 There is the problem for the inven- tor. To invent fish hook that will reject the hungry codfish and tempt the lordly halibut.
 MT. Grosvold advocates the estba- lishment of cold storage plant at Sand Point and is urging the Alas ka committee of the Chamber of Commerce to see what it can do to interest entreprising capital in the project. If this were done, many halibut shipments that are now going to Prince Rupert, B. C., would be diverted to American ports.
 Sand Point is one of the best har bors in this part of Alaska, and is near the course of all vessels ply ing between Seattle and the Kusko- kwim River, Bristol Bay, Nome, Arc tic Sea ports and Siberia.
