FOREST AND STREAM. 
159 

pack of red salmon and other salmon for 1902 
amounted to 4,631,320 cases (84 pounds in each), 
worth on average about $3.50 a case, or $9,- 
207,520. The pack for 1904 was somewhat 
lighter, being valued at from $6,000,000 to $8,- 
000,000. The fisheries are located chiefly about 
Bristol Bay and the Island of Kadiak, but the 
species runs in some thirty different Alaskan 
streams. 
The codfish is as abundant in the north Pa- 
cific as in the north Atlantic, but the limitations 
of the market have prevented the development 
of the industry, except to a limited extent about 
the Shumagin Islands and in the Sea of 
Okhotsk. The herring and halibut have also a 
large and growing importance in Alaska. 
It may be noted in passing that the markets 
of California, especially those of San Francisco, 
fall short of what they ought to be and many 
fish are served in a condition far from the best. 
Even our best hotels are none too particular in 
this respect, for which reason our eastern 
visitors often wrongly infer that our fish are 
not so good as those to which they are ac- 
customed at home. The fish are just good, but 
in our glorious climate they keep longer without 
decaying. In being thus kept, however, they 
grow very stale and lose their fine flavor. The 
difference is not in the fish, but in the care the 
dealer takes of them, and as to this our people 
will sometime grow more exacting. 
The following is a list of the chief food fishes 
of California arranged in systematic order, be- 
ginning with those of simplest anatomical struc- 
ture. They are graded in classes, A, those of

The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh- 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days, 
“to swap lies.”
