At Kinney's cannery yesterday a most
unusual Circumstance occurred. 1t is the
generaG ~sUppoo,tion Fo'at salm2l eat moth
ing after entering fretGl water and this
theory is borne out IN the great majority
of cases. But yesterday afternoon a fish,
ernan delivered five large salmon to Kin
ney's weigfner, which, besides being to-
tally different in shape and color to the
fish ordinarily caught at this season OF
'the year, were full of smail sardines.
n.yree of the salmon were females and
two males. There were no signs OF
spawn in any of the former.
Evidences seem to point to the migra-
ton Of several Fraser river Gamers to
Puget sound for the conduct of their
salmon canning industry. The Oceanic
Canning Company, with a capital of $25,-
900. has been incorporated by British Co
lumbia c%annerymen to put in a plant
with a capacity of putting up $1,000 an
nuaily at Richardson, on Lopez island,
and 1t is stated by the New Wl1atcom
Blade that arrangements are nearly per-
fected for the erection Of a canaery at
Griswold, on Shaw island. Next season
Will probably show a marked increase In
the Sound salmon pack. Yves End
