RECORD HALIBUT PRICE
AT KETCHIKAN IS PAID
i Ketchikan 'Onronicie.)
The ei.s power boat Pioneer, of
the halibut fleet, Captain Ingwuld
Hansen, and a crew of 15 men. ar-i
lived late yesterday afternoon front
the banks with^ a catch of 70,000
pounds of halibut which were sold1
!r> a combination of buyers consist
ing of the San Juan, Sebastian, Wash
ington. Itlpley and Dorerflus compnn-1
ies at 16*-3 and 9Vi; cents per pound, j
These prices are the highest paid i
in Ketchikan for a catch of this size,1
since the war; and the tact that the \
\lanieda will sail south today made j
ii pc.-sille to move the e rgo at once,!
thereby making the inducement to,
lie local buyers to pay the price, j
Tit • per capita profit to the crew'
will not roach the amount of several
catches in the immediate past owing!
to the number of men comprising!
the crew, but it shows that Ketchi
kan buyers are alive to the benefits!
to lie derived from a quick sale and
s'Vnall profit.
The Yakutat came in this after
noun from the deep sea fisheries
with 40,000 pounds of halibut which
was sold in the local market at 16% *
and &'-j cents n pound. This made!
a total of 110.000 pounds of halibut'
sold here today.

shipping a pleasure—and a profit.'
