Output. — The table of products shows the quantity and value of 

 each species packed, with the size and style of cans. For the first 

 tune southeast Alaska leads in both quantity and value of pack, due 

 to the large increase in the number of canneries operated there and 

 the high prices realized for the cheaper grades of salmon, which are 

 packed mainly in this section. In western Alaska there was a con- 

 siderable decrease as compared with 1910, but in the other two sec- 

 tions the mcreases were more than sufficient to overcome this loss. 

 The pack as a whole is the largest ever produced in Alaska, and it is 

 reasonable to believe is as large as a proper conservation of the 

 resources should permit.
