  FRESH 
  SALMON. 
  

  

  Shipped 
  from 
  Alaska. 
  

  

  As 
  for 
  several 
  years 
  past, 
  considerable 
  attention 
  was 
  devoted 
  during 
  

   1913 
  to 
  the 
  shipment 
  of 
  fresh 
  salmon 
  to 
  Puget 
  Sound 
  from 
  Petersburg, 
  

   WrangeU, 
  Juneau, 
  and 
  Ketchikan. 
  The 
  fish 
  are 
  packed 
  in 
  ice 
  in 
  

   boxes 
  holding 
  about 
  450 
  pounds 
  and 
  are 
  handled 
  by 
  the 
  regular 
  

   steamship 
  lines. 
  This 
  year 
  shows 
  a 
  falling 
  off 
  in 
  the 
  quantity 
  of 
  

   salmon 
  handled 
  in 
  a 
  fresh 
  state, 
  which 
  condition 
  may 
  be 
  explained 
  

   by 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  other 
  means 
  of 
  disposal 
  have 
  seemed 
  to 
  offer 
  a 
  more 
  

   substantial 
  return. 
  The 
  records 
  show 
  that 
  during 
  1913 
  shipments 
  

   of 
  fresh 
  salmon 
  from 
  Alaska 
  aggregated 
  645,956 
  pounds, 
  valued 
  at 
  

   $51,727. 
  In 
  1912 
  shipments 
  totaled 
  1,188,649 
  pounds, 
  valued 
  at 
  

   $87,463. 
  

  

  Marketed 
  Locally 
  in 
  Alaska. 
  

  

  No 
  definite 
  figures 
  are 
  available 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  exact 
  quantity 
  of 
  fresh 
  

   fish 
  distributed 
  and 
  consumed 
  in 
  Alaska 
  through 
  the 
  local 
  markets. 
  

   With 
  the 
  increase 
  of 
  population, 
  particularly 
  in 
  certain 
  sections 
  of 
  

   southeast 
  Alaska, 
  this 
  industry 
  has 
  grown 
  to 
  considerable 
  propor- 
  

   tions. 
  Careful 
  estimates 
  place 
  the 
  total 
  consumption 
  of 
  fresh 
  fish 
  

   purchased 
  either 
  at 
  local 
  markets 
  or 
  from 
  fishermen 
  at 
  500,000 
  

   pounds, 
  valued 
  at 
  $40,000. 
  Of 
  this, 
  50 
  per 
  cent 
  is 
  halibut, 
  35 
  per 
  

   cent 
  salmon, 
  and 
  15 
  per 
  cent 
  is 
  miscellaneous 
  fishes, 
  including 
  black 
  

   cod, 
  herring, 
  bass, 
  and 
  other 
  species. 
  Local 
  prices 
  vary 
  from 
  an 
  

   average 
  of 
  7 
  cents 
  per 
  pound 
  for 
  halibut 
  to 
  10 
  or 
  12 
  cents 
  for 
  salmon. 
  

  

  FROZEN 
  SALMON. 
  

  

  The 
  freezing 
  of 
  Alaska 
  salmon 
  was 
  carried 
  on 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  

   other 
  cold-storage 
  business 
  at 
  several 
  different 
  plants 
  in 
  Alaska. 
  

   These 
  included 
  the 
  Taku 
  Canning 
  & 
  Cold 
  Storage 
  Co. 
  at 
  Taku 
  Harbor,
