  split 
  open 
  in 
  the 
  usual 
  manner 
  of 
  preparing 
  pickled 
  salmon, 
  it 
  is 
  said 
  

   that 
  there 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  no 
  difficulty 
  in 
  marketing 
  them 
  at 
  a 
  

   profitable 
  figure. 
  Evidence 
  of 
  this 
  may 
  be 
  had 
  in 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  a 
  

   few 
  barrels 
  of 
  trout 
  prepared 
  in 
  the 
  orthodox 
  method 
  at 
  a 
  cannery 
  

   in 
  central 
  Alaska 
  have 
  commanded 
  a 
  price 
  as 
  high 
  as 
  $20 
  a 
  barrel. 
  

   A 
  few 
  barrels 
  of 
  pickled 
  Dolly 
  Varden 
  trout 
  were 
  also 
  packed 
  at 
  

   Eagle 
  Harbor, 
  on 
  Kodiak 
  Island, 
  this 
  season. 
  On 
  Cook 
  Inlet 
  45 
  

   cases 
  of 
  Dolly 
  Varden 
  trout 
  were 
  canned. 
  

  

  As 
  an 
  experiment, 
  a 
  few 
  cases 
  of 
  Dolly 
  Varden 
  trout 
  were 
  put 
  up 
  

   this 
  season 
  in 
  southeast 
  Alaska 
  by 
  the 
  Kake 
  Packing 
  Co. 
  The 
  fish 
  

   came 
  from 
  the 
  traps 
  and 
  were 
  put 
  in 
  haK-pound 
  flat 
  cans. 
  The 
  

   experiment 
  was 
  considered 
  a 
  success 
  and 
  further 
  efforts 
  along 
  this 
  

   fine 
  are 
  anticipated. 
  

  

  There 
  has 
  been 
  some 
  misapprehension 
  upon 
  the 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  public 
  

   regarding 
  the 
  laws 
  of 
  Washington 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  sale 
  of 
  trout. 
  Mr. 
  L. 
  H. 
  

   Darwin, 
  State 
  fish 
  commissioner 
  and 
  chief 
  game 
  warden, 
  advises 
  

   that 
  the 
  laws 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  prohibit 
  the 
  sale 
  within 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  aU 
  

   varieties 
  of 
  trout 
  save 
  the 
  Dolly 
  Varden. 
  These 
  are 
  not 
  protected 
  

   and 
  may 
  be 
  handled 
  commercially. 
  The 
  law 
  also 
  provides 
  that 
  no 
  

   species 
  of 
  trout, 
  the 
  sale 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  prohibited 
  in 
  the 
  State, 
  may 
  be 
  

   had 
  in 
  possession, 
  even 
  though 
  it 
  be 
  imported 
  from 
  another 
  State. 
  

   It 
  wiU 
  be 
  seen, 
  however, 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  bar 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  Wash- 
  

   ington 
  to 
  the 
  commercial 
  utilization 
  of 
  DoUy 
  Varden 
  trout

   EULACHON. 
  

  

  The 
  eulachon, 
  candle-fish, 
  or 
  "hooUgan" 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  variously 
  termed 
  

   in 
  Alaska, 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  toothsome 
  member 
  of 
  the 
  smelt 
  family 
  which 
  has 
  

   a 
  wide 
  distribution 
  in 
  the 
  coastal 
  waters 
  of 
  the 
  territory. 
  It 
  is 
  very 
  

   rich 
  in 
  oil 
  and 
  possesses 
  food 
  values 
  much 
  in 
  excess 
  of 
  the 
  recognition 
  

   generally 
  given 
  the 
  species. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  favorite 
  fish 
  of 
  the 
  natives, 
  who 
  

   utihze 
  it 
  for 
  food, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  for 
  the 
  extraction 
  of 
  oil.
