The consolidated Whaling Corporation operates three whaling stations at Kyuquot and Rose Harbor on Vancouver island and at Naden Harbor on Queen Charlotte Island. It also has stations at Bay City, Wash., and Akutan, Island, Alaska. The season's catch for 1917 was 379 whales and 500 for 1918. It is believed the catch will show a falling off this year. The Kyuquot station had taken 157 whales up to the end of October. The principal whales taken are the finback and humpback. They measure from forty to eighty-five feet in length and average one ton in weight to every linear foot. They yield from three to ten tons of meat each. Ten steamers are used in hunting them. Bone meal used as fertilizer and oil used in the manufacture of soap are the principal products of the industry. A whale will produce from fifteen to seventy barrels of oil. Every particle of the great mammals is utilized.
