204 PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES. 
IMPORTS OF FRESH SALMON. 
For some years it has been the custom of the canneries on Puget 
Sound, when fish were scarce on the American side and abundant on 
the Canadian side, to import fresh salmon to fill out the domestic sup- 
ply, and the Canadian canneries would do the same when the conditions 
were reversed. In 1904 the Canadian Government prohibited the 
export of fresh sockeye salmon to Puget Sound for packing purposes, 
and in 1910 an effort was made to have Congress retaliate by enacting 
a similar law for this side of the line, but the bill failed of passage. 
The table below shows the yearly imports of fresh salmon from 
British Columbia:
