  ALASKA 
  FISHERIES 
  AND 
  PUE 
  INDUSTRIES, 
  1913. 
  

  

  From 
  the 
  foregoing 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  noted 
  that 
  the 
  law 
  does 
  not 
  forbid 
  the 
  

   preparation 
  of 
  salmon 
  bellies, 
  but 
  it 
  forbids 
  waste 
  of 
  good 
  material, 
  

   which 
  has 
  frequently 
  occurred 
  in 
  the 
  past. 
  

  

  Favorite 
  methods 
  of 
  disposing 
  of 
  the 
  remaining 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  fish 
  

   are 
  dry-salting 
  or 
  use 
  for 
  dog 
  food.
