FISHING BOAT CAPTAIN GIVES
 AWAY C0DF|SH
Prices of Hahbut Advance to l234 and 9 Cents
 a Pound Here E

Capt. Andrew Brensdal of the ! halibut schooner Dagny doesn't look like Santa Claus. The fish ing boat skipper wears no whiskers, l and his yellow waterproof clothes and hip rubber boots folded down from the knees resemble in no wise the traditional attire of the jolly generous patron of the Christmas 1 festival. But to the human flOt- ! sam and jetsam, white and native, along the city's harbor line yester- day, the fishing boats master seemed like the Yuletide benefactor in disguise.
 800 or 600 Pounds
 The captain unloaded 500 or 600 pounds of fresh deep sea codfish and gave it away to any and all corners. News of the free cish spread rapidly into the hooks and crevices of the waterfront, and in { few hours all the catch had been carried off, a fish or two at a time. Goldfish are usually thrown away by the halibut boats on the banks, but all the harvest. of the species that came up with the hooks of the Dagny when she lifted them for the last time, was thrown into the hold and brought to port for any and sundry folks who either can't or won't work.
 Shipped to Seattle
 The Dagny's halibut catch, which brought 12 cents first grade and 8 cents second grade from the Se- bastian-Stewart Company was shipped fresh to Seattle.
 Halibut prices advanced late yes- terday afternoon on the Juneau Exchange. Twelve and three fourths cents and cents were the figures commanded by 1900 pounds landed by the Mabel, Capt. Ole Jackson. The ouyc. was the San Juan Company, and the purchase J was shipped fresh to Seattle on the steamship Farragut last night. Fern Has 5000 Pounds
 The Fern, Capt. John Lowell, with 5000 pounds of halibut ar rived in Juneau this morning The hailing will probably be offered this afternoon. If the price is not satisfactory, Captain Lowell said he would ship the fish on his account to Seattle on the Northland to- night.
 The Sitka, with 112,000 pounds representing catches of several
 boats on the banks, is due in Se-
 attle tonight or tomorrow morn-
 ing. Results of her trip are await
 ed with great interest by both
 buyers and fishermen here. -
 It was reported in Juneau today that the Sitka had been prevented / from landing at Prince Rupert by ! the fishermen who are on a strike
 A dispatch from Ketchikan to Tht
 Empire this afternoon said the Sit
 ka cleared from Ketchikan direc+
 for Seattle and under federal law
 could not have stopped at Prince
 Rupert unless in case of accident.
