  In 
  the 
  southeast 
  Alaska 
  salmon 
  canning 
  industry 
  there 
  were 
  in 
  

   operation 
  127 
  stationary 
  and 
  36 
  floating 
  traps, 
  a 
  total 
  of 
  163 
  traps; 
  in 
  

   central 
  Alaska 
  there 
  were 
  84 
  traps 
  in 
  the 
  canning 
  industry, 
  2 
  in 
  mild- 
  

   cure 
  work, 
  and 
  1 
  in 
  pickling 
  operations, 
  a 
  total 
  of 
  87 
  traps, 
  all 
  sta- 
  

   tionary; 
  and 
  in 
  western 
  Alaska 
  there 
  were 
  13 
  traps 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  

   canning 
  industry 
  and 
  4 
  to 
  pickling, 
  a 
  total 
  of 
  17 
  traps, 
  all 
  stationary. 
  

   Assembling 
  the 
  foregoing 
  figures, 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  total 
  of 
  231 
  stationary 
  

   and 
  36 
  floating 
  traps, 
  or 
  a 
  grand 
  total 
  of 
  267 
  traps 
  throughout 
  Alaska 
  

   for 
  the 
  year 
  1913. 
  During 
  1912 
  there 
  were 
  273 
  traps 
  devoted 
  to 
  

   canning 
  and 
  5 
  to 
  pickling, 
  of 
  which 
  242 
  were 
  stationary 
  and 
  36 
  

   floating. 
  Thus 
  there 
  were 
  11 
  less 
  traps 
  in 
  operation 
  in 
  1913 
  than 
  in 
  

   1912. 
  The 
  falling 
  off 
  occurred 
  in 
  southeast 
  Alaska. 
  Fewer 
  can- 
  

   neries 
  were 
  in 
  operation 
  in 
  1913, 
  and 
  while 
  some 
  companies 
  put 
  in 
  

   traps 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time 
  this 
  year, 
  other 
  companies 
  lessened 
  their 
  

   number. 
  

  

  In 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  salmon 
  industry 
  there 
  was 
  a 
  total 
  of 
  

   238 
  purse 
  and 
  drag 
  seines 
  operated 
  in 
  Alaska 
  in 
  1913 
  as 
  compared 
  

   with 
  474 
  the 
  previous 
  year. 
  The 
  falling 
  off 
  was 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  absence 
  

   of 
  the 
  fleet 
  of 
  Puget 
  Sound 
  purse 
  seiners, 
  which 
  invaded 
  southeast 
  

   Alaska 
  in 
  1912, 
  and 
  also 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  fewer 
  canneries 
  were 
  operated. 
  

   In 
  the 
  matter 
  of 
  gUl 
  nets, 
  the 
  figures 
  for 
  1913 
  show 
  2,470 
  as 
  compared 
  

   with 
  2,240 
  the 
  year 
  before. 
  The 
  gain 
  was 
  chiefly 
  in 
  mild-cure 
  

   operations.
