V.\nPRINCE RUPERT, B.C., SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, 1915.\nPrice 5 Cents.\nNO. 60.\nPrince Rupert Fast\nBecoming Emporium for\nFish Trade of Pacific\nThe port of Prince Rupert is fast\nbecoming the centre of the fishing\nbusiness ou the Pacific Coast. Local\nresidents do not realize the extent to\nwhich the trend of busines is turning in favor of this city, but the fact\nremains that shipments are going\nout every day to various parts of\nthe world.\nThis week, as an instance, there\nhas been practically two trainloads\ntaken out, with further shipments\nby express ln carload lots. Among\nthese shipments was a consignment\nef 190 cases making up two carloads,\nwhich went out yesterday bound for\nLiverpool, Eng. This shipment was\nfrozen salmon from Mill Bay Cold\nStorage, operated by Henry Doyle.\nMr. Doyle is making his shipments\nby way of Prince Rupert, but the\nsalmon consignment is somewhat\nnew, especially when forwarded to\nEngland.\nEarly in tbe week a full tralnload\nwent out of frozen halibut and other\nfish consigned to eastern points in\nCanada and the United States.\nThese shipments were by refrlgera\ntor cars over the G.T.P. The Cana\ndian Fish & Cold Storage Company\nsupplied the greater part of the\nshipments.\nYesterday there were four carloads sent forward by express re\nfrigerator cars, including the two\ncars for Liverpool. Another fast\nfreight train of refrigerator cars\nalso was sent forward by the local\ndealers over the G.T.P.\nPrince Rilpert is coming into its\nown rapidly as a fish emporium. The\nsummer should see very rapid development along these lines.\n _o-\t\nBaptist Church.\nWire in Trouble South.\nOwing to bad weather south, the\ntelegraphic communication over the\nGovernment line was interfered\nwith last night.

P.\nWpi. Leask, Albert Leighton,\nCampbell and Chas. Powell.\nWm. Leask was elected\ncouncillor.\nRyan,\nJohn\nchief\nDuring the month of January the\ncatches of fish have not been as\nheavy as In some previous months\nat this port. This has given the opportunity to local companies to get\npart of the frozen fish sent forward.\nThe month, which started well In the\nline of herring fishing, has fallen off\ntowards the \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0close, and no herring\nhas been taken In commercial quantities in the harbor for some weeks.\nThe value of the catch from this\nport during January represented a\nvalue of about $44,390. There were\n16,722 hundred weight of fish taken.\nOf this quantity halibut was represented by 625,00;0 pounds, which, at\n5 cents a pound, represented $31,-\n250. In view of the fact that January is usually a rough month on the\nbanks this catch for the month is\ncreditable. .\nSalmon, being practically all of the\nspring variety, showed 24,000\npounds taken, which, at 8 cents a\npound, represented $1,920. Of other\nvarieties cod was represented by\n10,000 pounds.\nHerring showed 1,000,000 pounds,\nwhich, at $1 a hundredweight, rep-\nSoles were repre-\npounds, flounders\nand skate by 200\nresented $10,000.\nsented by 3,000\nby 4,000 pounds,\npounds.\nOf sliel 1 fish, crabs were taken\ntbe extent of 6,000 pounds.\nWHEAT IS SOARING; .\nBREAKING ALL RECORDS\nFURTHER DETAILS OF\nPROPOSED FISH CO.'Y\nG.

Naden,\npresented a very full report relative\nto the industrial life of the city and\ndistrict during the year. Included\nwere also Interesting statistics which\nare given. The report was as follows:\nPrince Rupert, B.C.,\nJanuary~22,~19T5.\nTo the Members of\nThe Prince Rupert Board of Trade,\nPrince Rupert, B.C.:\nGentlemen,\u00E2\u0080\u0094As you, are all aware,\nthe year 1914 has witnessed the outbreak of the most terrible conflict\namong the Powers of the world that\nhas ever happened in history. The\neffect of this outbreak upon the financial markets of the world has\nbeen unparalleled. It has resulted in\nthe almost entire cessation of capital\navailable for development and industrial work, and for this reason has\nhad the effect of causing a slackening up in the amount of development work which was under under\nconsideration and in process of construction in Northern British Columbia. However, it is a matter for congratulation on the part of the communities of Northern British Columbia, and especially that of Prince\nRupert, that notwithstanding tbe un-\ni.sual conditions existing, the yearjflc)(\n1914, on the who'e, has still witnesed North\na steady progress on\nroad to\nwards the making of Prince Rupert\nCity of the Nortli.\nFrom present indications, the year\n1915 will witness a continuation of\nthese conditions, which will necessitate a readjustment on the part of\nthe community of former conditions,\nand compel the public to devote their\nefforts more along the line of local\ndevelopment of the various natural\nresources that lie at their door.\nThe most important question by\nfar now in front of the community\nis that of the fishing industry. The\nlinking up of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway has inaugurated the\ncommencement of shipments over the\nline of fish products to the Eastern\nmarkets. These shipments are increasing every month, and united effort is urged on the part of the community to help place this industry on\na satisfactory basis.\nit is with much pleasure that I\nsubmit the following data and information in connection with the progress of Prince Rupert and Northern\nBritish Columbia and of the work\nperformed by the Board of Trade\nduring the year 1914.\nTHE PUBLICITY BUREAU.\nIn January last the Publieit.*\niBureau was established on a working\nbasis, and a concrete plan started for\nI the purpose of obtaining belter Pub-\nl'or Prince Rupert and the\nFrom the point of view or\nPublicity and of fostering local Inter\nthe Premier publicity work is recognized as be--been made to various papers, with\ning of communal benefit, and is con- the usual anict:.>.t of success as to\nsequently supported by a general the publication of the same. Latter-\nlevy on the community, the work in iy the war has had the effect of\nPrince Rupert has been borne by a crowding out this matter, but gener-\nin\nin need of financial assistance, aud\nbusiness management, even to get\nthem properly equipped to catch fish,\nwhich, as every master fishermen can\ntell you, is the- first principle to work\nfrom. My opinion is that if a strong\nlocal company was organized all of\nthese boats you would want, and\nmany others from Southern British\nColumbia ports, would take stock\nin such a company to the value of\ntheir net interest in the boats and\nequipment, as it could be easily\nshown that such an arrangement\nwould be distinctly to their advantage, as well as to the advantage of\nthe company.\nLarger boats of tbe size and capacity that would be decided on by\nmen of years of experience could\nalso be obtained on the same terms,\nas many independent fishermen on\nthis coast of limited means who are\nstruggling along as best they can in\nlarge as well as small boats, in some\ncases In debt for a portion ot tbe\nboat, would gladly welcome an opportunity of improving their chances\nIn coming to Prince Rupert and joining such a company.\nThe articles of organization and\ncharter would have to be worked out\nby business men and fishermen on a\nsound business basis and provision\nmade for a large directorate of the\nbest men obtainable who would become interested in such a company\nand who are directly interested in\nthe city in other ways, together with\noutside men who might be obtained\nthat would take an interest and'\n!stock in such an organization.\nCapitalization.\nfew public-spirited citizens alone.\nally speaking considerable interest\nhas been shown in the outside press\nas to Prince Rupert and the North's\nprogress. This part of tbe Bureau's\nwork is a most important one, as\ntlle value of publicity obtained by\nwell planned press matter is universally recognized, and In this particular line the Bureau has made an excellent showing.\nTne natural resources exhibit in\nplact at the Board of Trade Rooms\nthe work of the Board of\nTrade, the Bureau has jusllfletl its-jll\"'\u00C2\u00AB' Interesting features\nexistence, and you have now the P\"* \"r the Board Inadvl\nfoundation laid Of a valuable asset tr> I l\"\"esont.\nEntertainment,\nA series of luncheons have been\nheld throughout the year. They\nhave been an unqualified success in\nkeeping up local interest, and with\nthe valuable assistance of various\ngentlemen who have addressed the\nmembers at these luncheons on\ntopics of interest, have assisted materially in the work of keeping tlie\ncommunity posted with up-to-date\ninformation as to the progress of\nPrince Rupert and the North. These\nluncheons have also been the means\nof adding considerably to the\namount of publicity obtained, inasmuch as the speeches made have\nbeen reported In full In the local\npress. The thanks of the Board are\ndue these gentlemen and the press\nwho have so kindly assisted in making these genial gatherings the success they are.\nA business men's excursion was\nrun in July under the auspices of ^red strangers andI other,\nthe Board to Granby and Stewart.\nThis excursion was attended by\nabout one hundred and Ill'ly members and guests, and it was Intended\nto be* the\nones, but the outbreak of,war In\nAugust last, and ffle conditions resulting, made the continuance of\nThe company should start with a\nsubscribed capital of from $100,000\nto $250,000 in $10.00 shares, 2.r> per\ncent, to be paid on completion of\nthe organization and the balance as\nrequired, but no call to exceed over\n10 per cent, of the amount subscribed, within a specified time.\nLocation.\nMy opinion is that the most central\n.point obtainable, that could be se-\n!cured for the least money, .should be\nis a most complete one, and has been selected, A portion of (lie Provincial\nthe subject of favorable comment bv!(lovel'n\"lenl years al \" nomlnal rent- Tllis ldea\nI this collection on hand at the Rooms!1 iu\" \"\"\"e we\" Bware does llot n,eet\nthe representative of the Provincial\nGovernment collecting samples for\nthe Panama Exhibition was enabled\n| the views of a great many citizens,\n! but I have yet to find a man who\ncan give any valid reason why it\nshould not be used for this purpose;\nand why should it not be?.

This favor\ngranted by the Board has been generally appreciated.\nMembership.\nAt the end of 1913 the membership of the Board of Trade was 77.\nThis membership has been increased\nto 188 In 1914, of whom 111 are in\ngood standing as at December 81,\n1914. This increase of practically\n100 Is most gratifying and gives a\npractical illustration cf the good\nfeet of the policy of conducting\nup of the G.T.P. in Sep-\nthe linking \t\nteniber last.\nIn reviewing the progress of this\nindustry during the year 1914 I,\nfirst of all, wish to particularly draw\nthe attention of the Board to tbe excellent work done by tbe Special\nCommittee, consisting of .Messrs.

The question\npresentation of a souvenir\npresident of the G.T.P. has been indefinitely postponed owing to tlie\nfact that the outbreak of hostilities\ncancelled arrangements for an official opening of tbe transcontinental\nrailway.\nIn handing over the Publicity Department of the Board of Trade to\ntbe new executive I feel that, with\n(he foundation laid in 1914, the\nwork of the Bureau in ensuing years\nwill be the means of rendering valuable assistance to the community in\nthe matter of fostering the movement for a larger and more prosperous Prince Rupert.\nTransportation.\nOn April 7, 1914, the final connection was made in the Grand\nTrunk Pacific Railway, giving Prince\nRupert through connection with\nWinnipeg and tho East, and (be first\nstandard train from the Enst arrived\nIn Prince Rupert on April II. Owing\nto the outbreak of the war, the official opening of the line was postponed, but a regular standard train\nschedule was established on the 2nd\nSeptember between Prince Rupert,\nEdmonton, Winnipeg, and Fort William. Most of you arc familiar\nwith the extent of this gigantic undertaking, from which Prince Rupert\nlias its Inception, but it is worth\nwhile mentioning that to date 3,149\nmiles have been constructed Easl of]\nPrince Rupert lo Fori William,\nequipped throughout with Su-lb.\nsteel rails, with no curves of a\nsharper radius than 0 degrees, with a\nruling maximum grade of half of one\nper cent., and that the cost of building the first 100 miles Enst from\nPrince Rupert was $8,000,000, showing lhe gigantic nature of the project, and the engineering difficulties\novercome,\n\" At tiie present time b regular passenger service is maintained of .three\nliains weekly, carrying mail, during\nthe summer months, and of Iwo\ntrains weekly during the winter\nmonths, each way, with every prospect of augmentation during the\ncoming summer, There lias also\nbeen a regular freight service niiiln-\nt Ined between Prince Ruperl and\nEastern points,\nSteamship communication lias\nbeen maintained during the past year\nbetween Prince Rupert, the South,\nand adjacent points, by a service\nas follows: The Canadian Pacific\nRailway, with a service of three passenger boats and one freight steamer calling regularly; the Union\nSteamship Company, two passenger\nand two freight, boats plying between\nPrince Rupert and points north and\nSouth (way points not touched by\nother direct service) ; the Pacific\nCoast Steamship Company, two boats\nmaking six trips a month; the Grand\nTrunk Pacific Steamship Company,\nsummer months five steamers a\nweek, in winter months three boats.\nA service has also been made by\nthis Company to the Queen Charlotte\nIslands, which Is capable of considerable Improvement, as settlers on\nthese Islands are placed at a great\ndisadvantage in the marketing of\ntheir produce \"under the existing\ntransportation facilities.\nFisheries.\nAt the present time this industry\nIs by for the most Important feature\nof loi il development, it lias par-\ncome i'-.'n prominence since\nlent foundation for the united efforts\nof the community of Prince Rupert\nin pressing these changes which are,\ngoing on at the present time. The!\nthanks of not only the Board of\nTrade but of the entire community\nare due these gentlemen for the efficient manner in which they have\nhandled this question.\nThe position of Prince Rupert in\ntlle competitive fields of this industry prior to the completion of the\nrailway was not as strong, as we\nmight have wished, but I am glad to\nsay that this weakness no longer\nexists, and at the present time Prince\nRupert has become a recognized factor as port of entry and a shipping\nport for the fish products of tbe\nNorthern Pacilic. You are all aware\nof the serious view that is being\ntaken of our entry into this field by\nSeattle and Ketchikan, who, up to\nthe present, have held the major\npart of this business, and the concerted effort being made by these\ncities to retain control of this Industry, and It will require earnest\nwork on the part of the whole community of Prince Rupert to protect\nand assure Prince Rupert her share\nof this profitable industry. I am\nglad to note that at the present time\nconcerted effort is being put forward\nby the entire community in an endeavor to influence the change in existing regulations, which are onerous\nas far as Prince Rupert is concerned.\nIn September last the first regular\nservice was inaugurated of fish\nshipments over the G.T.P. Railway,\nand between September 9 and December 31 not less than 4,740,430\nlbs. of fresh and frozen fish was\nshipped to the Prairies, Eastern\nCanada and (he Eastern cities of the\n'United Stoics. Practically all the\nlarger towns in the East have drawn\nupon Prince Rupert for part, of their\ntisli supply, and where previously\nPrince Rupert as a Ashing centre was\na matter of rumor only, she is now\ntaking the place rightfully hers, as\nbeing the strategic point of tbe most\nnatural and quickest route to these'\nmarkets,\nAt the iuVHeiii time the industry\nlocally is handicapped in several\nways. It is at a disadvantage as regards certain regulations in force.\nwhich we hope will be changed in\nthe near future. The cost of ice.\nbait and distillate is at present too\nhigh, bul there is a promise of this\nbeing rectified in the near future!\nami I hope to see arrangements effected whereby Prince Rupert Is\nplaced on. the same basis In these\nmatters as her Northern neighbor.\nKetchikan,\nThere were 42 canneries operated\nlu the district duling the year 1914,\nThe Naas and Skeena rivers have\nregularly each year contributed\nlargely to the salmon pack of British\nColumbia and the figures of the total\npack for 1914 are Interesting:\nSalmon Puck of Northern British\nColumbia, 1111 I.\nTotal \t\nThose figures show\nover 1913 of $445,160.\nDuring the year 1914 prices obtained for fresh fish at the wharf\nPrince Rupert have been good, and\nthere has been no difficulty in disposing of all fish landed, as the demand has far exceeded the supply.\nThere is great need of wharfage\naccommodation for this industry in\nthe future, and it is to be hoped that\narrangements will eventually be\nmade for the localization of this\nbusiness by t\nvalues in gold and silver. At 14 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00C2\u00A3\ncents per pound for copper the gross\nproduction from this mine will\namount to $78,000,000, It Is probable that about 75 per cent, of the\ngross value will be spent for labor\nand supplies, and it is certain that\na large proportion of this amount\nwill find Its way to Prince Rupert.\nIn the Hazelton district . development work has proceeded steadily\nand several of the mines in that district are beginning to show up very\nfavorably. Proved mines have been\nmade of several prospects and others are in a fair way to prove that\nthey are worthy of taking a Place j (irawn a\namongst the producing mines of|from the\n93,840 j British Columbia.\nIn other districts there has also\nbeen a certain amount of work done.\nOf these districts Portland Canal is\nworthy of mention on account of the\ntunnel driven by the Portland Canals\nTunnels, Ltd., of Victoria, which has\nproceeded far enough to show that\nthe work and money spent on this\nproposition has been justified. The\nOmineca district owing to rumors of\na projected railway has had considerable attention paid to it, in connection with bydraulic leases.\nThere are no new developments in\nthe several coal fields of Northern\nBritish Columbia. Most of these\ndistricts will take considerable time\n^^^^^^ installment of a fish ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\nwharf as it is urgently needed in |to develop and bring' to tbe transpor\nSkeena River steamer traffic Included in coastwise traffic during\n1912-1:1. The railway has now replaced this service up river.\nProvincial.\nThere wire 441 pre-emptions recorded in 1914 as against 489 in\n1913. This shows a decrease. There\nwere 54 land purchase applications\nfiled against 353 in 1913. There\nwere 213 mining claims recorded\nin 1914; this is a slight increase\nover 1913. There were six Crown\nGrants issued for mineral claims; 94\ncoal licenses were taken out in 1914,\nand Sun gun licenses.\nThese figures show a decrease\ngenerally over 1913, but this Is\nchiefly due lo the fact that the completion of the railroad lias with-\nlarge floating population\ncountry, previously engaged in construction work, who In\nprevious years filed on pre-emptions\nfor speculative purposes. There Is a\ngenera] increase in bona iide settlement. The slump in land speculation is responsible for the decrease\nin land applications. Mining and\ncoal claims recorded show that interest in these two industries is still\nwell maintained.\norder to keep pace with the growing\ndemand for wharf accommodation.\nAgriculture.\nNorthern British Columbia is gradually taking its place amongst the\nrecognized farming centres of British\nColumbia. A steady progress towards settlement of the interior and\ntbe islands adjacent to Prince Rupert is being made. The year 1914\nhas witnessed a better class of settler coming in to take up land, and\nalthough development, owing to the\nvastness of the district known as\n.Northern British Columbia, is slow,\nit is coming steadily. The Government (Provincial) has installed several experimental stations -at different points, and the results obtained\nat these stations-are satisfactory in\nevery way. The outstanding difficul-j\nty agriculture has to contend with\nis lack of transportation and markets. This is a condition that time\nwill ameliorate.\ntation slate.\nConsidering financial conditions,\nwhich are always a large factor in\ngoverning development work in mining areas, Northern British Columbia from a mining point of view Is\nshowing a steady improvement in\nher position, and it is a matter of\nsatisfaction to be able to say that\nthere is no doubt that eventually\nPrince Rupert will become one of\nthe recognized mining centres of\nBritish Columbia,\nThe Lumber Industry.\nThe state of this industry during\nthe year 1914 has been almost normal, but a decrease is shown In the\ntotal cut. Conditions in the lumber\ntrade have as you know been almost\nuniversally quiet throughout British\nColumbia, hence Prince Rupert and\nthe adjacent districts have also witnessed a quiet period. At tho present time there are ten working\nplants In operation in Northrn British\nColumbia.

It has a cemetery of\n57 acres. Ten and one half miles of\nplank roadways. Five miles of planked sidewalks; and three miles of\nsewers. It owns such public utilities as electric lighting and power,\ntelephone, and water. The fire department is modern, well equipped,\ncentrally situated and efficiently\nworked. The assessed value of real\nproperty for 1914 was $20,959,020,\nwith $2,834,1(10 improvements, and\nthe rate of taxation was 13.975\ngross. As the single tax plan is the\none that has been adopted by the\ncity, no charge is levied on Improve-\n| ments. During the past year there\nhas been issued 124 building permits with a total valuation of $001,-\nC75, showing a substantial increase\nover 1913,\nThe year has witnessed the connecting up of the new water system.
