canning and shipment represents here busi-
ness OF not less than S65, 900 per annum.
Had accurate statistics been kept, it is proba-
BILE this figure would be much enlarged. The
salmon fishing is very doubtful as perms-
nent industry, as the waters of the rivers are
SO muddied that few spawning grounds are
left and the run of salmon is not to be relied
upon. Experts agree on the statement that
the salmon are being rapidly driven from the
rivers by the condition of their waters. These
several businesses, where not carried into
other items specially noticed, represent
trade for 1881 of 1861, 900.
