BULLETIN OK THE UNITED STATES PISH commission. 365 



Every step is intensely interesting. In some houses scrupulous clean 

 liness marks every stageof the work. Every implement, lank, ami table 

 used, as well as the floors and hands of the, Chinamen, must frequently 

 he washed. Mr. lhune even carries his notions of neatness so far as 

 thoroughly to wash and wipe the cans before filling them. Yet, ifpos 

 sible, Mr. Kinney excels him in nicety. Not even the odor of fish could 

 be detected in his establishment at the time of my call. 



There were taken and canned along the. Columbia last year 620,000 

 cases of salmon, containing 48 cans each. Complaints of a lighl run of 

 fish this season are general, but the supply maybe ample for all demands 

 next year.
