  PICKLED 
  SALMON. 
  

  

  Early 
  in 
  the 
  season 
  prospects 
  for 
  a 
  remunerative 
  return 
  on 
  pickled 
  

   salmon 
  were 
  so 
  unalluring 
  that 
  interest 
  in 
  this 
  field 
  of 
  endeavor 
  was 
  

   much 
  lessened. 
  This 
  was 
  particularly 
  true 
  of 
  southeast 
  Alaska, 
  

   where 
  mild-cure 
  operations 
  and 
  the 
  demands 
  for 
  canning 
  diverted 
  

   attention 
  from 
  the 
  pickling 
  of 
  salmon. 
  As 
  a 
  matter 
  of 
  fact, 
  the 
  only 
  

   concern 
  in 
  southeast 
  Alaska 
  engaged 
  in 
  a 
  strictly 
  pickling 
  venture 
  

   this 
  season 
  was 
  the 
  Holbrook 
  Fishing 
  & 
  Packing 
  Co. 
  In 
  central 
  

   Alaska 
  there 
  was 
  considerable 
  activity 
  along 
  this 
  hne, 
  although 
  the 
  

   Cordova 
  Fish 
  Packers 
  Association, 
  which 
  was 
  organized 
  in 
  1912 
  and 
  

   put 
  up 
  a 
  good 
  sized 
  pack 
  of 
  salt 
  salmon, 
  did 
  not 
  operate 
  this 
  year. 
  

   Saltery 
  operations 
  were 
  conducted 
  near 
  Katalla, 
  at 
  Abercrombie 
  (on 
  

   the 
  Copper 
  River), 
  at 
  Eshamy 
  Bay, 
  at 
  Seward, 
  and 
  at 
  two 
  salteries 
  

   in 
  the 
  Kodiak 
  region. 
  It 
  was 
  in 
  western 
  Alaska 
  that 
  the 
  greatest 
  

   activity 
  in 
  salt 
  salmon 
  occurred. 
  The 
  heavy 
  run 
  of 
  reds, 
  and 
  the 
  

   overtaxing 
  of 
  canning 
  facihties 
  stimulated 
  salting 
  operations 
  very 
  

   perceptibly. 
  

  

  The 
  saltery 
  doing 
  business 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  Lagoon 
  Salmon 
  

   Co., 
  at 
  Nelson 
  Lagoon 
  in 
  western 
  Alaska, 
  was 
  operated 
  again 
  this
