The report circulated yesterday that
cannerymen had formed. or were about
to enter into contracts with fishermen to
pay cents a ',ound the coming season
Is without foundation and misleading A
canneryman yesterday said II was too
early to base any calculations on the price
OF salmon for next season, and no stated
price could be given until shortly before
the season opened. This has been the ex-
perience between cannerymen and fisher
men for several seasons past, and reports
giving the price OF salmon TO be paid
next season often deceive fishermen and
induce them into investing heavily In
gear, especially when they are led 20
believe the price will be cents pound.
The price OF salmon the coming season
Is entirely problematical and most OF the
fishermen on the river are aware Of this
fact and are governing themselves ac-
cordlngly. Very little twine as yet has
been given out by the cannerymen, and
the fishermen have scarcely made any
preparations and will not for two or three
weeks yet, when the actual work Of put
ting up gear for next season will com
mence There is very little likelihood that
contracts will be entered into between
cannerymen and fishermen. II has never
been done and there Is less cause for the
fishermen 10 do II this season than
ever before, as tho cold storage plants
win pay the highest market price for
salmon Fishermen. however, are hope
ful that the price Of salmon next year will
be as good II not better, than last sea
