TILE sALMoN SEASON.
Prospects For Large Yield Not Very
Flattering This Year


on the 10th inst, says the Portland
Telegram. the salmon fishing season
opened on the Columbia river, but the
present indications are that the salmon
industry this year will yield a much
smaller revenue than for many past
seasons. y
Hon. George T. Myers, an authority
upon this subject, said to a Telegram
reporter today that the cannerymen are
in no way anxious to obtain salmon at
the fishermen's prevailing figures,
which are cents per pound, they--the
cannerymen-getting but s1.S5 per dozen
cans, per cent of for commission, at
which price they made no money last
year AS to the run Of the fish, he said
that as yet they are scarce. which he
attributes to the earllness OF the sea-
son.
The market is almost barren OF Co
lumbia river salmon. because very little
Of the pack has been disposed OF. Mr.
Myers added:
ut is somewhat singular to encoun-
ter so much backwardness on the part
OF buyers. and TO find scarcely anything
in the market but a few Alaskan fish.
This believe is due TO the tight money
market. for the people are economizing
in their expenditure for food as in all
else.
There will be one-half OF the usual
number OF canneries only operating this
year. and the prospects for profitable
trade are decidedly slim. This is my
opinion at the present moment, al
though have not SO thoroughly looked
into the situation as | shall do later.
However, feel that am correct in
these premises, unless there is an early,
radical change Of times for the bet
ter"
