PACIFIC SALMON FISHEBIES. 249 
ALASKA. 
In 1891 several of the canneries operating at Karluk, on Kodiak 
Island, combined forces and built a hatchery on the lagoon at that 
place. As the cannery men were at swords’ points in regard to their 
fishing rights on the spit, in 1892 the hatchery was closed. In May, 
1896, the Alaska Packers Association broke ground for a hatchery 
at the eastern end of the lagoon, near the outlet of Karluk River, a 
short distance from where the hatchery was located in 1891, and 
operated it until 1916, when it was closed temporarily. 
In 1892 Capt. John C. Callbreath, manager of the Point Ellis 
cannery, on Kuiu Island, operated a small hatchery on the left bank of 
Kutlakoo stream. It was a very primitive place, and an exception- 
ally high tide destroyed the whole plant in September. It was never 
rebuilt. 
Capt. Callbreath, however, after seeing to the operation of the hatch- 
ery, had returned to Wrangell during the summer, where his attention 
was again attracted to hatchery work, and in the fall of 1892 he 
built a small hatchery on Jadjeska stream, Etolin Island, about 200 
yards from its mouth. The stream is about one-half mile in length 
and is the outlet of a small lake. Finding the location unsuitable 
Capt. Callbreath removed the hatchery in 1893 to the northern side 
of the lake, about three-eighths of a mile from the head of the outlet, 
where it still stands. The owner’s intention was to build up a stream 
which had a small natural run of red salmon until it had a large run, 
with the hope that the Government would then give him the exclusive 
right to take these fish from the stream for commercial purposes. 
The experiment was kept up until the end of the season of 1905, 
when Capt. Callbreath’s failing eyesight compelled the cessation of 
the actual hatching. Until 1910 a man was stationed on the stream 
during the run of spawning fish for the purpose of lifting them 
over the dam, so that they could reach the spawning beds at the 
head of the lake, and the project was abandoned entirely shortly 
thereafter. The owner’s expectation of a big run as a result of 
hatching operations was never realized. 
In 1896 the Baranof Packing Co., which operated a cannery on 
Redfish Bay, on the western coast of Baranof Island, built a small 
hatchery on the lake at the head of Redfish stream. The following 
winter was so cold that not only the flume, but the whole cataract, 
froze solid, and as the hatchery was thus left without water the eggs 
were put into the lake and left to their fate and the hatchery closed 
down permanently. _ 
In 1897 the North Pacific Trading & Packing Co., at Klawak, 
Prince of Wales Island, established a hatchery near the head of Klawak 
stream, close to Klawak Lake. In 1898 the plant was moved to the 
mouth of a small stream entering the lake about halfway up the
