LOCH COLO
SAN JUAN FISHING AND PACKING
COMPANY WILL PAY MORE
FOR FRESH HALIBUT
Announcement was made today by
G. C. Henderson, local manager of the
San Juan Fishing & Packing Company
that from now on eight and five cents
would be paid for fresh halibut, the
cold storage having considerably in
creased its capacity last spring by ad
ditional coolers and the installation
of its own ice making plant.
It is expected that this increase in
price will materially increase the
number of boats arriving from the
halibut banks, as heretofore most of
the fish have gone to Sitka and Ketch
ikan on account of lack of fueling fa
cilities and the lower price paid for
halibut. With the erection of the oil
tanks here and the increased price
paid for fish there is no reason why
Sewrard should not become the cen
ter of the halibut fishing industry, as
the banks are right against the mouth
of the harbor, and extending west
ward for an hundred miles.
The local company received 15,000
pounds of fresh halibut today from
the banks.
