The Time* Will Do that Job of Printing RIGHT
THIS SEASON’S
SALMON PACK
BELOW RECO
Details of Pack of Western and
Central Alaska Up to Early
in Month of August Is
Rather Depressing
The Pacific Fisherman in its Aug
ust number prints the Following sum
mary of the salmon canning condi
tions along the coast of Alaska:
Western Alaska pack in 1918.—
Kings, 18,301 cases; reds, 1,729,622
cas^; medium reds, 15,979; cases:
pinks, 24,724 cases; chums, 98,905
cases. Total, 1,887,591 cases.
Early reports of a short pack from
the Bristol boy district have often
proven erroneous in the past, but
advices received from a number of
sources during the past few weeks
are in substantial agreement to the
effect that the pack of this section
is only about 40 per cent of that in
1918. These reports were sent out
at a time when packing is usually
about at an end; and while the final
total may show some improvement
the pack is evidently shorter than
for a number of years. Western
Alaska has not fallen below a million
cases since 1911 when the pack was
743,206 cases; the smallest output
since then being 1,316,171 cases in
1915.
The Herendeen Bay pack is very
light, the three consolidated canner
ies reporting about 18,000 cases at
the close of the season, near the end
of July, compared with about 65,000
cases last year and 19,500 in 1917.
The Bering Sea canneries were all
ready in good time this season, and
a very fair pack of kings was re
ported, but the red run was ex
tremely disappointing, and the prin
cipal shortage is in this grade.
The only favorable report from
western Alaska is from the Yukon
river cannery, which had some 40,000
cases, mostly fancy kings, before
the end of July, with a pack of me
dium reds still to come.
Central Alaska pack in 1918
Kings, 21,818 cases; reds, 662,829
cases; medium reds, 47,904 cases;
pinks, 358,491 cases; chums, 313,196
cases. Total, 1,404,238 cases.
The run, even in neighboring parts
of this district, seem to have been
very irregular. By the end of July
the canneries west of Chignik report
ed between 30 and 40 per cent of
their normal pack, and were w’aiting
for chums, which did not appear. At
Chignik, on the other hand, the
pack was reported about up to that
of last year on the corresponding
date. Reports from Cook inlet are
conflicting, bu£ the pack so far
seems to be short, the last report
showed one of the canneries with
75 per cent of the 1918 pack to the
corresponding date, and stated that
others were farther behind than that.
This section has made a poor showf
ing for several years. On Kodiak
island reports indicate about an
average output in the Uyak bay dis
trict, while the run on Alitak bay
has been very good, with a large
pack of reds.
Prince William sound showed very
poor results until recently, and a
large proportion of the pack consist*
t ‘ “ " ---- ———i
I
ed of chums. Later advices from
some of the canneries are somewhat
more encouraging. A heavy run of
reds appeared in the Copper river
before the season opened, and most
of them got up the stream, although
some packers of the Cordova dis
trict made a good-sized pack of Cop
per river fish at the beginning of the
season. For the past month, how
ever, the run has been rather light,
and the outlook is uncertain. One
of the Cordova plants recently re
ported 60 per cent of last year’s pack
for the same date.
Word comes from Ketchikan that
the salmon run on the west coast of
Prince of Wales island was quickly
grabbed by the canneries, and that
it has now ceased. The information
is that the canneries in that section,
like those of Chatham and Icy straits
and elsewhere in southeastern Alas
ka, have got up about a 50 per cent
pack, and they do not expect to do
much better than that.—Ketchikan
