Arnold Graham and James Wallace,
of Marshland, returned last Sunday
from Alaska, where they have been since
last spring with the Peninsular Trading
d Fishing company, at their cannery,
which the company built this season on
an island in Comptroller bay, off the
mouth of Copper river. Their cannery
only put up about 5000 cases of salmon,
as the best part of the season was nearly
by before the cannery was completed.
They state to the Mist, that several of
the canneries erected last year had good
success, but most of those built this year
were 80 late in getting started that tue
season was too far advanced to do much,
besides many of them were built by men
who had no previous knowledge of the
country, and they failed to get good To-
cation, as it appears that the salmon do
not run in ali the streams In paying
quantities. The boys do not report life
any too pleasant in that far off land.
Their cannery, with the exception of two
others, is the farthest north of any in
Alaska, and half-hour's walk from the
main shore would take them to snow and
ice in July.

TROUBLE ON THE "JEANIE."
Fishermen Complain Abou: King Salmon

The following is from the San Fran
cisco, Chronicle of the 1st:
The steamer JeGnie arrived from
Prince Williams sound last week with
$1,000 cases of salmon for the Pacific
Steam Whaling company. The men
were paid off on last Saturday, and for
some time afterward the air around the
Office of the whaling company was sui
phurous. The cause of the trouble was
learned yesterday by Chronicle reporter
from Charles Anderson and number of
other fishermen who shipped from here
in last February On the Jedais.
According to the story Of Anderson,
hs and his companions shipped for SD a
month, and were to receive l cent on
all the smaller fish caught. The ques-
ton regarding king" salmon arose.
and Herrick, ths superintendent of
king fish in the sound. The men said
that they knew better, and it was
agreed that if any were caught, cents
(the usual price, would be paid for
each. With this understanding the
steamer sailed. She put into Astoria,
and there the fishermen's union, hearing
that the men had shipped for So less
than union rates. held meeting and
asked the Jeanie'S men to uphold the
rates. Mr.. Herrick, hearing of this,
voluntarily offered his men the additional
IS each.
The catch at Prince Williams sound
was good one compared with those of
the neighboring canneries. The men
worked day and night, living on the
bank of the Copper river, with but little
covering over them. The food supplied
to them consisted of coffee, sugar, hard
tack and salt meat. King fish were
caught in plenty, and when the home
ward voyage commenced the men were
we'll satisfied with the seasons work.
Herrick remained at Portland, and Cap
tain Humphrey, superintendent for the
whaling company, knew nothing of his
arrangements with the men, and all that
the company would pay was S45 month,
and only l cent for every fish caught,
large or small. The fishermen had no
alternative but to accept. They have a
strong desire to interview superintendent
Herrick on his return, however, and
propose to bring a suit against the Pa
cific Steam Whaling company for the
balance due them.
