SALMON WHEEL ON A scow,

Puget Sound and the ,rivers flowing
into 1t salmon fishing and canning
have been carried on successfully for
years. Within the last five years the
increase in the number OF canneries
has been enormous. The cannerles
are built, as a rule, in the center OF the
various fishing grounds and vary in
size according to the extent OF the
grounds. Nearly every form OF appa-
ratus known to be adapted to salmon
fishing has been brought into use.
Trap nets were the latest to be intro
duced, but have become recognized as
most effective in salt water, and on
them the trust will depend for the
greater part Of its catch. The nets are
hung on heavy frames Of permanent
construction. They are placed in shall
low water along the path taken by the
salmon on their way from the sea to
the spawning rivers. There are no
trap nets in the Straits Of Juan de
Fuca, because the salmon do not skirt
the shores OF that channel. The nets
are found, however, on the southern
end Of San Juan Island, in Deception
Pass, Canal de Haro, Rosario Strait
and various bays in the vicinity. Purse
nets, which, like the traps, require con-
siderable outlay for operation, are
used further up the sound for the later
running species of salmon. The drag
seine ia used by the individual fisher
man, who brings his catch to the near
est cannery in his own boat and sells
the fish for few cents apiece. The
phenomenal abundance of salmon, the
perfection to which their preparation
has been carried and above all the firm
hold which the canned product has Sc
cured in the markets throughout the
world, are the reasons which the
United States Commissioner of Fish
and Fisheries gives for the wonderful
growth and success OF the salmon in
dustry. Five species are recognized
the quinnat, sockeye, silver, hump

Having successfully fioated trusts
controlling iron, steel, tobacco, oil, SUI
gar and score of other things manu-
featured or produced in the East, the
Wall street trustmakers are reaching
out for lines of trade which have not
yet been pressed into a combination,
after the new century fashion. The
savory salmon of the Pacific coast,
from the Columbia river to Behring
Sea. has for years been the object of
fierce commercial warfare. With the
formation of the Pacific Packing and
Navigation company, which was incor-
porated in New Jersey last week with
a capitalization of $4,000, 900. this
warfare is ended. Fighting companies
TO the number of at least fifteen have
been merged into the trust and the
stockholders have ceased to worry or
to cut each others throat for the pos
session of markets. Nearly all of the
big companies in Alaska and Wash
ington which are not already in the
Alaska Packers association combina-
ton have signified their intention Of
joining the salmon trust. II is esti-
mated that they will pack 100000
cases this year, and that without add
ing materially to the canneries already
In operation the pack can be increased
TO $500 900 cases by next season. Be
sides the canneries, fish traps, wheels,
and trap nets, the trust absorbs large
fleet OF steamers and sailing vessels.
The Pacific Steam Whaling company
has half dozen large steamers, to say
nothing Of a score OF cannery tugs.
other Of the companies operating in
Alaska own steamers and large sailing
vessels. The Alaska Packers associa-
ton, with headquarters at San Fran
cisco and fishing grounds all along the
western coast, is the rival of the trust,
and a lively competition is expected.
D. K Armsby & Co., who represent the
association in New York, say that
with the purchase OF big canning
plant at Anacortes, which has Just
been constructed. the Packers associa-
ton will put up so per cent of the
worlds supply OF salmon this year
A fight between the old and new trust
would be interesting, but Wall street
men believe 1t will be avoided. On

back, dog and steelhead salmon. The
quinnat is highest in quality. and with
the steelhead stands most in favor for
the fresh trade. The caneries would
use nothing except sockeye could the
specie be obtained in sufficient numbers
to satisfy their demands. The other
varieties are used to complete the pack
and form the cheaper grades. The
sockeye salmon runs from six TO
twelve pounds in weight, and is popu-
lar with the canneries because of the
depth and stability of its color and the
firmness of its flesh. The sockeye run
is at it's height in July and August,
and in those months the greater part

of the salmon pack is taken. Every
fourth year the run OF salmon is much
larger than usual, according to the sta
tistics OF the last twenty years. The
largest run ever known was in 1897,
when the fish were taken in such
quantities that the Gamers could not
handle more than half the catch. An
other phenomenal run is expected this
year, according to the four-year scale.
On this expectation the salmon trust
is depending for good start. Most Of
the labor employed In the canneries OF
Washington and Alaska is Chinese. II

been employed in the postal service OF
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Boston went out of operation. and the

looks like step backward. 1t Is prob

TO have refused to continue the aRs
