CALIFORNIA. 



In Eel River the runs of all species of salmon were very poor. For 

 the first few days of the season the catch was very heavy, after which 

 the run dwindled down to almost nothing. Nearly all of these were 

 shipped fresh to San Francisco, where the dealers claimed that most 

 of them arrived in bad condition. 



In the Sacramento River the run was a very fair one, and all of 

 the product was marketed in either a fresh, mild-cured, or smoked 

 condition, none being canned. The interesting table following shows 

 the daily deliveries of chinook salmon to one of the mild-curing plants 

 on the river, and the total and average weights of same.
