Developments in B. (.
 Fisheries

A most important feature of the British Columbia salmon fishery this Year has been a mutual agreement for arrangement among the packers by which the amount of gear used is voluntarily reduced For some reason the movement has been sur rounded with considerable mystery, but a recent consular report from Vancouver attributes it to the recent consolidation of important packing interests and states that Swear agreement has been signed by which the number of sainas ia cut this year about 50 per cent, and the number of gillnets by 25 to 30 per cent. The arrangement is said to have been effected by consent of practically all the packers, in the realization that unless the industry should take eff fective steps toward conservation the government would reduce the fishing time to point where it would not pay to operate.
 Accoring to private advices, the new arrangement is quite agreeable to the fishermen, as it is the desire of both fishermen and packers to pre- vent an increased closed season, and they are now working along lines agreeable to all interested in the pre- servation of the salmon. Some in terchange of gear between the vari- ous areas may be effected according to conditions developing during the season, without necessitating an in crease of gear by any one cannery. At the same time, the government restriction on transportation of raw fish over long distances, in which the packers are generally cooperating, is expected to result in an improve ment in average quality of the pro- duct.
