THE ALASKA SALMON FISHERIES. 
The output of the fisheries of Alaska for 1903 compares favorably 
with the season of 1902. While in 1903 the pack was 290,614 cases 
less than the pack of the preceding year, the advance in the price of 
salmon caused the value to exceed that of 1902 by nearly $1,251,000, 
the latter year yielding 2,536,824 cases, valued at $8,498,360, while in 
1903 the output was peat cases, erin a value of $9,748,799. Of 
this amount the Alaska Packers’ euaeaiaon canned 1,267,693 cases, 
in addition to salmon salted and placed in cold storage. 
The decrease in the pack of 1903 was not wholly the result of the 
small run of salmon, but was in a measure due to the smaller number 
of canneries operated, and to the fact that many of the canneries in 
southeast Alaska, on account of the low price of salmon at the begin- 
ning of the season, had contracted for a smaller number of cases than 
they would have packed had the increased value been foreseen.
