This atateinent Is wholly untrue. No halibut at all is being caught at Newport now, nor has there been since about October 1. There is only one'fishlng boat in the bay now. the Sea Foam, whlcli has been tied up at Elk City since about the first of October. KIk City Is the head of navigation on tho bay. "I would like to have the editor of The Journal come out Into the open and explain whether he intended to misinform the public or whether ne Is .Ignorant In regard to conditions, and If the latter, why he did not call on some one who does know and get the correct information, instead of trying to make the people believe they are being robbed 1 by the fish dealers of Salem. . To substantiate for theeneflt of the DeoDle of Salem my statement that the Capital Journal is clear off in Its editorial, either Intentionally or Ignorantly, I quote from the Ore gon Dally Journal of January Z?i 'Record prlcerare ruling for hal ibut in the Pacific northwest. A ves sel reaching PMfcet Sound Monday sold at 30c a pound, the highest price for this liah ever, known in the wholesale trade.
