Salmon by the Ton.

"f the present run of salmon con-
tinues, the packers will get all the fish
they can handle for 3 cents a pound"
said the foreman Of a large cannery to-
day. Never has there been a better run
OF fish. Every cannery in this city is
swamped, and several have limited
their men TO 1000 pounds each. At one
large establishment 100 tons, comprising
10000 salmon, had been received up to
3 o'clock. This cannery will run night
and day, and even then will have more
fish than can be handled. The high
boat, so far as reported, came in this
morning with 1880 pounds Of salmon,
the result of a nights work. The haul
brought S216. This morning a fisher
man who had worked all through the
strike arrived down from Kahma. He
said he had earned about $1,000, which
he considered enough for one season.
He received 41-2 cents for his fish,
