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 following table shows the shipments of such fish in recent 
years:

GUAM. 
Since annexation, this country and Japan have been competing for 
the trade of this island, which, in earlier years, Japan controlled quite 
largely. During the last two years shown in the statement, however, 
the United States has secured the advantage. The following table 
shows the extent of the trade, which is made up almost entirely of 
salted or pickled salmon, only 900 pounds of fresh salmon, valued at 
$92, having been shipped by this country to Guam in 1908. Since 
1909 all the fishery products imported have been lumped under one 
heading and it has been impossible to distinguish the salmon from 
_ the other species,
