38 FISHERIES OF ALASKA IN 1907. 
these 168,597 cases; in 1906, 349,767 cases, and in 1907, 570,767, an 
increase for 1907 over 1905 of 402,170 cases. The pack of red salmon 
was largest in 1905 (1,587,343 cases); this year it was 269,539 cases 
less. While the pack of dog salmon was larger in 1907 than in 1905, 
it was considerably less than in 1906, and the same is true of the pack 
of cohos. 
Taking the ‘‘1-pound tall,’’ which is the common size can, as a basis 
of comparison, it is seen that there has been a uniform increase in 
price each year over the preceding year. In 1905 cohos averaged 
$3.20 per case; in 1906, $3.63 per case, and in 1907, $3.91 per case. 
Dog, or chum, salmon averaged $2.69 per case in 1905, $2.87 per case 
in 1906, and $2.97 per case in 1907. Humpback, or pink, salmon 
averaged $2.95 per case in 1905, $3 per case in 1906, and $3.16 per 
case in 1907. King salmon averaged $3.28 per case in 1905, $3.78 in 
1906, and $4.18 per case in 1907. Sockeye, or red, salmon averaged 
$3.38 per case in 1905, $3.77 per case in 1906, and $4.59 per case in 
1907.
