FISHERIES OF ALASKA, 1908. 



13 



from Olio of the company's canneries at Ugashik. Four traps were 

 operated in Kvichak River and Bay, two by the Alaska Packers 

 Association and two by the Nortli Alaska vSalmon Company. 



The sahing phmt of the Northwestern Packing Company, on 

 Kvichak Bay, was sold to and operated by Nelson, Olsen & Co, The 

 Lagoon Salmon Company operated at Nelsons Lagoon and Mr. Peter 

 M. Nelson on the Igiishik River, 



In southeast Alaska the run of red salmon was small, but in certain 

 sections this was more than made up by a large run of humpbacks. 

 This year the cannery men in the vicinity of Ketchikan, in order to 

 prevent an expensive fight for red salmon, the species most sought 

 after, met and agreed to so divide up these fish that each plant would 

 get a quantity proportioned to its total outfit. By agreement of 

 the fishermen operating in Boca da Quadra, this year no fishing was 

 allowed inside of a line drawn from the old saltery, just outside the 

 mouth of Quadra Stream, across to the opposite headland. This was 

 done to protect the stream run of red salmon, the old hatchery at 

 the head of Quadra Lake having been reopened.
