  than 
  1 
  per

  by 
  lines 
  and 
  dip 
  nets. 
  The 
  previous 
  year 
  seines 
  took 
  

   30 
  per 
  cent, 
  traps 
  32 
  per 
  cent, 
  and 
  gill 
  nets 
  36 
  per 
  cent. 
  In 
  comparing 
  

   these 
  two 
  seasons 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  noted 
  that 
  the 
  catch 
  by 
  seines 
  decreased 
  

   from 
  30 
  per 
  cent 
  in 
  1913 
  to 
  27 
  per 
  cent 
  in 
  1914, 
  and 
  similarly 
  traps 
  

   showed 
  a 
  decrease 
  from 
  32 
  per 
  cent 
  in 
  1913 
  to 
  31 
  per 
  cent 
  in 
  1914. 
  

   The 
  proportion 
  of 
  the 
  gill-net 
  catch 
  in 
  1914 
  increased 
  to 
  41 
  percent, 
  

   ai 
  compared 
  with 
  36 
  per 
  cent 
  in 
  1913. 
  This 
  was 
  brought 
  about 
  very 
  

   largely 
  by 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  in 
  western 
  Alaska, 
  where 
  gill 
  nets 
  are 
  used 
  

   extensively, 
  the 
  run 
  of 
  salmon 
  was 
  very 
  good, 
  while 
  in 
  southeast 
  

   Alaska 
  where 
  the 
  catch 
  is 
  chiefly 
  by 
  seines 
  and 
  traps, 
  the 
  run 
  of 
  pink 
  

   salmon 
  fell 
  off 
  nearly 
  one-half 
  in 
  1914. 
  

  

  The 
  total 
  catch 
  of 
  salmon 
  in 
  1914 
  was 
  54,651,915, 
  as 
  compared 
  with 
  

   59,915,128 
  in 
  1913, 
  a 
  decrease 
  of 
  5,263,213. 
  In 
  1914 
  gains 
  of 
  approxi- 
  

   mately 
  3,350,000 
  chums, 
  1,230,000 
  reds, 
  and 
  500,000 
  cohos 
  were 
  

   recorded, 
  but 
  kings 
  fell 
  off 
  22,000 
  and 
  pinks 
  decreased 
  10,325,000.
