The salmon pack to June LIST was 1885,
O)O cases. about 1870 lighter than last
year. Up to that date the run had been |
"scrubby." The number caught were
up to average, but considerable pro-
portion ware small. Since the 1st the |
run has been excell ent. An opinion pre-
walls among cannery men that last years
pack of 55O,oO cases will nearly be
reached this season, which closes by
August 1st. 1t is understood, however,
that fishermen will continue later than |
August lst, provided the catch will JUS
tify. The Oregon and Washington |
Legislatures each passed laws forbid
ding fishing after August lst., but as it
would be hard f,r the prosecution 10
prove whether fish were caught in Ore |
eon or Washington Territory watels,

ing among fishermen were reported TO |
