PACKS BY CANADIAN AND AMERICAN CANNERS 



Many people on both sides of the boundary hne have been under the 

 impression that the American fishermen on Puget Sound have been 

 by far the greatest offenders in so far as the quantity of sockeye 

 salmon taken has been concerned, but a table ^^ prepared by Mr. 

 J. P. Babcock, assistant to the Commissioner of Fisheries of British 

 Columbia, for the years 1891 to 1919 and by the author, from various 

 sources, for 1920 to 1927, does not bear this out entirely. Previous to 

 1891 most of the fishing was done by British Columbia fishermen. 

 The table follows:
