extensions of the business and pro-

necessary to prohibit it by legisla

lowing ample time for the present
concern to wind up it's affairs. The
Bureau has already through the De-
partment recommended to Congress
an early tentative date, in part for
the sake of eliciting the facts on
which to base a reasonable interim.
Evidence has been taken On both
sides of the question and a common
ground reached for settlement of
the question which is believed to be

tinuance of the herring fertilizer
and oil industry is likely to become
inconsistent with public policy res

to allow a liberal term before any
prohibition upon the industry shall
become effective, and upon the fix
ing of this term the question may
be said to pend. A few years delay
in the Inauguration of this change,
intended to hold Indefinitely, is a
matter of little moment to the fish
cries, but of imminent Importance
to the industry"

my God; where thou diest, will
