PORTLAND, May 1.-THE salmon canning
business on the Lower Columbia Is still in
an unsatisfactory condition A number of
Gamers have accepted the terms OF the
union and are paying 81 each for fish, but
most of them are using their own boats and
nsts and taking fish only from people who
owe them, and the boats are restricted as
to the number the can bring in. Some
canneries have refused $50 FISH per day, ss
there Is the greatest run of fish in the river
ever known At this season. No canner
cares 10 pack many fish st 81 each. but the
Gamers who have customers for fancy
brands East must Till the order or lose
trade.
On the upper river. from Kalama to the
Cascades. the uuion rules are ignored and
the fishermen are making much money
selling fish At ) cents q pound. The can
ners will pack all they can get at that price,
and there is large demand for ish TO
ship fresh to towns along the rail.
roads and the Sound. The high
water. which brings up plenty
OF fish has interfered with the success of
the wheels at the Cascades, washing the
cribbing away from some, and the wheels
in general are not catching many fish.
High water and the troubles arising from
the strike of the union fishermen have
proved blessing to the fishermen above
Kalama. but disastrous to all below.
