RACKS ARE FULL;
[ Partial relief from existing high
i prices has come to Interior Alaskans
this summer in the form of an un
I usually heavy run of salmon, the
1 streams having been so full of fish
since the early part of July that
■ every wheel in the country has
yielded substantial returns to its
owner, many fishermen along the
Tanana and other Interior streams
; having reported record catches.

drying racks along the Yukon river
and its tributaries, from Bering sea
t*> Dawsc.-i, which were idle the
greater part of last summer because
of the scarcity of salmon, are crowd
ed to capacity this season and show
up like great red blankets, spread
j thickly along the river banks.
I The runs of salmon up the Yu
!kon, beginning with the kings early
in the summer, are said to have
i been heavier than in a number of
years past. And favorable water
conditions have made it possible for
owners of fish-wheels to take maxi
mum catches. The Carlisle cannery,
to the operation of which strenuous
objection was made by Interior Al
askans because of the shortage of
fish last summer, appears to have
jhad little effect on the run of fish
i this season. The salmon came up
| the Yukon in such great numbers
that the cannery catch caused no
losses to the natives and white fish
ermen above the cannery. And it
is claimed that few of the fish
caught in wheels bore evidence of
having come in contact with the
nets at the mouth of the river. Last
year, a very large proportion of the
‘large fish taken were net-marked.
The Carlisle cannery began oper
ations early this season and is said
to have put up a pack of 60,000
cases of kings, after which opera
tions were suspended for the sum
mer and the operatives sent back to
the States. Xo attempt was made
to take dog salmon or silvers, prob
ably because of the low prices pre
vailing. Many of the coast can
neries have large quantities of
canned dog salmon left over from
last year, and the demand for that
variety is not at all brisk just now.

OLDT1MER LONESOME;
WRITES TO THE NEWS
The News is in receipt of a letter
from G. A. (“Joe”) O’Connor, for
mer blacksmith in the employ of the
Alaskan Engineering commision, who
went Outside last year. The old
timer was lonesome, he said, and
longed for a copy of The News. “It
was always company for me, and
you bet I miss it.”
“Joe” spent most of the winter
in Missouri and had the Tv. there.
“You bet it tamed m.,' n,* writes,
“and lots of them died.” From
Missouri he went to Kansas to have ■
!
a look at the coal mines and the |
drilling for oil. He saw them shoot;
several wells, but says the flow was
small.
“I stopped only three hours in
Seattle,” the letter continues. “I j
was struck for $20 before I got off •
the wharf, and three times uptown. !
I thought it was time to get out1
and I went.
“I made money on the trail com
ing out. I sold my horse for $300,
clearing $250. And I made about
500 percent on the furs I brought
out. The fur warden never looked
at me. I guess he thought I was a
tramp.”
From Kansas, O’Connor went to
Texas, and then came back to Wash
ington, it being his intention to
