THE salmon pack this year discloses
one important fact, viz: that the Alas

and that the Columbia river, with
proper care will furnish millions of
the unrivaled Chinook salmon, when
the memory of the salmon of the
''teeming waters of Alaska" will have
gone glimmering through the dreams
of things that were. This is just the
opposite of what was thought would be
the case, but facts demonstrate the
certainty of the idea.
