SALMON INDUSTRY. 
A very material increase occurred both in quantity and value of 
products in the salmon industry of Alaska in 1918. In view of the 
unprecedented returns for 1917, the results of operations during 1918 
were Very satisfactory. As willusually be the case, some sections pro- 
duced smaller numbers of salmon than in the preceding season, while 
notable gains occurred in other places. This oscillating movement 
of the salmon runs does not affect all districts alike at the same time,
