VIRGIN ISLANDS 



Of recent years the following shipments of domestic salmon have 

 been made to these islands: 



ALASKA 



It seems like "carrying coals to Newcastle" to ship canned salmon 

 to Alaska, from which Territory more than half the canned salmon 

 of the world is produced, and yet a small business is done each year 

 in this line, most of the product going to the mining camps and towns 

 somewhat removed from the fishing sections. 



The table below shows the shipments of such fish in certain years. 

 After 1914 the shipments were lumped together with all other kinds 

 of fish and thus prevented the listing of salmon separately.
