THE SALMON—FISHERY 339 
Hudson’s Bay Company gave far the highest prices on the 
coast these last two years. Were it not for them, the fishery 
would be practically abandoned. 
Last year, 1908, a new method was tried. Mr. E. Gibb 
of Aberdeen, Scotland, brought over a large tank steamer, 
in which to carry home to England live fish. He is fishing 
in a way new to Labrador, pursuing the fish with a floating 
trap-net. What will be the outcome of the venture, it is 
impossible to foretell. He has brought houses, men, and 
tackle. Three trips in a year would fully satisfy him.
