514 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
Besides the waters of the State already noticed those of and near 
Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay have for years furnished a large supply 
of salmon to canners and the fresh-fish market. Just outside of the 
harbors, along the coast bordering Chehalis and Pacific counties, fine 
food-fish of numerous species are known to be abundant, but as yet 
are unsought by fishermen. 
The business of 1899 is here shown by counties, giving the persons 
employed, capital invested, products in pounds, and their value 
to the fishermen, together with the amounts taken by the various 
appliances.
