  COD 
  FISHERY. 
  

  

  The 
  cod 
  fishery 
  in 
  Alaskan 
  waters 
  in 
  1914 
  was 
  carried 
  on 
  more 
  

   extensively 
  and 
  with 
  better 
  success 
  than 
  in 
  1913, 
  when 
  results 
  were 
  

   considered 
  very 
  good. 
  The 
  vessels 
  fishing 
  off 
  shore 
  did 
  well 
  and 
  the 
  

   shore 
  stations 
  made 
  large 
  catches, 
  while 
  good 
  prices 
  have 
  been 
  

   realized 
  on 
  the 
  season's 
  product, 
  although 
  the 
  European 
  situation 
  

   complicated 
  matters 
  somewhat 
  for 
  a 
  time. 
  One 
  new 
  company, 
  the 
  

   Northern 
  Codfish 
  Co., 
  with 
  headquarters 
  at 
  Seattle, 
  entered 
  the 
  

   fiel4, 
  and 
  several 
  of 
  the 
  older 
  companies 
  increased 
  their 
  facilities 
  

   during 
  the 
  year.

  The 
  Alaska 
  Codfish 
  Co. 
  suffered 
  the 
  loss 
  of 
  the 
  schooner 
  W. 
  H. 
  

   Dimond 
  (376 
  tons), 
  which 
  was

  have 
  returned 
  with 
  a

   of 
  codfish. 
  No 
  lives 
  were 
  lost.

  was 
  the 
  second

  Codfish 
  Co. 
  before 
  that 
  concern 
  suspended 
  operations 
  two 
  years 
  

   ago, 
  was 
  sent 
  north 
  this 
  year 
  by 
  the 
  newly 
  organized 
  Northern

  of 
  Seattle. 
  The 
  fleet

  (171 
  

   tons),
