REPORT OF INSPECTION OF THE SALMON FISHERIES. 



The annual inspection of the salmon fishery of Alaska was made in 

 1906 (luring the period from June to October, and was conducted 

 upon the usual plan, the agents visiting the various localities so far as 

 possible in person. The customary observations and inquiries were 

 made to ascertain the condition of the streams and the methods of 

 fishing, to discover any illegal practices or nonconformity to law, 

 and to recommend measures for the protection and promotion of the 

 salmon industries. The inspection in southeast Alaska, except at 

 Dundas Bay and Yakutat, was made by the agent, jVIr. Howard M. 

 Kutchin. The assistant agent, Mr. John N. Cobb, canvassed these 

 two localities and central and western Alaska, the revenue cutter 

 Rush being assigned to his service tlirough the courtesy of the Treas- 

 ury Department.
