SOUTHEAST ALASKA. 



General cojiditions. — The season in Southeast Alaska was quite 

 satisfactory as a whole, although at the outset it was feared there 

 would be a bad failure. Especially was the run of humpbacks bad, 

 and several of the formerly best streams were almost destitute of fish. 

 Later, however, there were good runs, which continued quite late, and 

 the result was rather more than an average pack. The red salmon 

 run was generally scant throughout Southeast Alaska, and spawning 

 fish in the lakes (except at Naha) were unusually scarce. 



There was a notable falling off in the dry-salting of dog salmon, 

 mainly on account of weakness in the Japanese demand for this 

 variety of fish. For this reason, and because of the lack of pink 

 salmon, more of dog salmon was put into cases than ever before, and 

 the advance of prices indicates that tliis was profitably done. 



Notes upon various localities. — In several instances unusually heavy 

 packs were made, Funter Bay and Sitkoh Bay being conspicuous in 

 this respect. On the other hand Loring and Wrangell fell short of 

 their customary output. These two commonly put up many more 

 salmon than any other Southeast Alaska plants. 



The Kasaan Haj cannery was destroyed by fire just at the close of 

 operations and a good part of the pack was lost in the flames.
