Alas. Herring Tagged
 To Get Migration Data

The tagging of Alaska herring. begun experimentally in 1892 by the United States bureau of fisher ies and continued in 1888, was ex- banded during the past season. The herring are tagged with metal belly tags during the spring spawning season, the tags being retaken dur ing the June-October fishing season by means of electromagnets in stalled in the reduction plants, ac- cording to a recently released bu- reau of fisheries bulletin.
 Leaving Seattle March 10, 1884, aboard the fisheries vessel Heron, Dr. G. A. Rounsefell and E. H Dahlgren, assisted by Mir. Christey, proceeded to Craig on the west coast of Prince of Wales island where S4O0 tage were affixed, then moved to Sitka, tagging 13.000 more. The tagging work in Alaska at this time of the year is decidedly unpleasant Snow and hail, with temperatures low enough to freeze a skim of ice on salt water, make the necessary hand work under Wa ter a decided hardship
 New Tags
 A tag. modified from those used in the experiments of previous yea s. was used on about 18,0O0 of those tagged, the change consisting of having the tag stamped out of ni"kel-plated sheet steel, and in in creasinq the size to about double that of the previous tag. The larger size makes the operation of taggine much more easily seen on the mag nets.
 Corrosion. which might be expect ed to occur on the ferrous metal. does not take place in the body cavity of the fish, and the recovered

Beaver Season Opens
 First Time Since 1882

Guided by numerous reeommeu- dations of traders and trappers and by field reports of its Warden per sonnel, the Alaska Game commis- sion is permitting an open season on beaver in southeastern Alasha from April to April 30, 1885, both dates inclusive, with a bag limit ol 10 beavers per trapper, according to information received from the com missions headquarters at Juneau.
 Exception is provided for the Glacier Bay National Monument, Chichagof and Baranof islands and the posted area in Mendenhau val ley near Juneau, in which places no beaver may be taken.
 The skins of beavers trapped dur ing the open season above provided for shall be presented for sealing to a game warden, or other person designated by the commission, with in sixty days after the close of the season, together with affidavit of lawful taking as has heretofore been required,
 Arrangements have been made by the commission to seal all skins brought into the various Southeast ern Alaska communities, in addition 10 which the commissions warden personnel will make numerous con tacts with beaver trappers on the trapping grounds.

 VESSELS
 TIED UP

Negotiations b betwee Il halibut fishermen and buyers resulting in no agreement, the next step chosen by the Fishing Vessel Owners asso- ciation and the Deep Sea Fisher mems union is to make personal ap- pGcation for an REC loan to buy the production of the Pacific fleet.
 ketchikan agents of the two fish ermen's groups have received word that Harold Lokken, manager of the vessel owners, and Harold Grotle, agent of the fishermen union, will go to Washington next week for this purpose. according to the Chronicle.
 Buyers will guarantee no mini mum price to the fishermen on the grounds that it will interfere with the sale of frozen stocks now on hand.
 Twenty percent more halibut is in storage this year than last and the minimum asked for this year production is an average of 2 cents a pound over the price paid for the frozen stock. These factors, buyers assert, will make the present pro duction unmarketable. On the other hand, fishermen have shown that they cannot operate for a price as low as prevailed last year.
 No break promising in the ensu ing deadlock, the producers are as.. ino- paa1pggr4,cf5Av Eipou4a poration loan of $S0O,O00 with which to buy up their own product. It is indicated that they plan to use the money to advance the fish ermen enough for operating and i'm mediate expenses, storing or dis posing the product as the oppor- tunity affords and settling up ad- ditional earnings after the fish have been marketed.
 Plans of the fishermen do not in- clude going into competition with fish dealers, but rather are laid along the line of absorbing the sur pluses that the dealers are not able to take care of at acceptable prices.
 Just what getting such a loan will require of the vessel owners and their association remains somewhat vague, but it is generally felt among members of the industry that the move would be within the pow CTS of the government agency.
 The association is an ineorpor- ation. Papers pledging security to a possible loan were recently signed by members of the association pre- paratory to the move, offering the product of the fleet, backed by yes sels comprising it.
 All vessels are remaining tied to their moorings until a settlement has been reached meanwhile, in cluding ships in Seattle, Alaskan ports and Canada.

Road Allowed ThruB.C.
 At Americas Expense

VICTORIA, B. CT. D. Patullo today said that British Columbia is ready to facilitate construction of the proposed international highway through British Columbia, but can not appropriate any money for the road.
 The announcement was made as the legislature was preparing a de- bate on a resolution to the effect that if the road is built the Alas kan panhandle should be given to Canada.
 While the premier did not say so, his statement is taken to mean that the British government would have no objection if the United States built the road through the province at it's own expense.

CORDOVA CANNERIES MAY CLOSE AS
 PACKERS REFUSE TO MELT DEMANDS

Late reports from Cordoya are to the effect that it is feared the can neries will not operate in that sec tion during the coming season as the packers cannot meet the de- mands made by the Copper River and Prince William Sound Fisher mems association.
 The prices drawn up by the Cor dova organization were as follows:
 Independents-Reds, 321a cents; humpbacks. cents; dog salmon, ' cents; kings. S1.50.
 Company men-Reds. 16h cents. humpbacks. cents; dog salmon. cents; kings. 75 cents. The price program also included a scale to be applied in the event company men pay their own fare to Alaska.
 The Cordova chamber of com merce two or three days afterwards received a telegram from the Prince William Sound Packers association stating that the demands made on the packers were considered unrea- sonable and impossible under the existing conditions. The demands were unanimously rejected at meeting attended by all the packers in the district. Packers earnestly desire to cooperate and pack but these demands make it impossible, said the message.
