ANNUAL SALMON
PACK DECREASES
SAY SCIENTISTS

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 16.-
Dr. Barton w. Evermann chief ichthy
oIogist of the United States Fish Com
mission, and Professor Charles II. Gill
bert of the Stanford geological department
have returned from a three months So
journ in the Alaskan waters, where they
have been investiga ting the salmon ques-
tion on behalf of the Government. Pres
ident Jordan was in charge of the expe-
ditiOn until July p, when he returned to
California from Skagway and left the
work to the supervision of DR.. Ever
mann. The party went north the AL
batrOss, the Fish Commission steamer
Among the other members OF the party
were Captain Swift of the AlbatrOss, j.
N. Wisner, superintendent of the Gov
ernment fish hatcheries in Washington
and Oregon; A. b. Alexander, in charge
of statistics and methods; Cloudsby Rut-
ter, Stanford graduate, permanent Gov
ernment naturalist on the AlbatrOss; Dr..
Harold Heath of the Stanford zoology de-
partment; F. NJ. Chamberlain of the Fish
Commission. and Harold b, Jordan, O4.
son of President Jordan and Deputy Fish
Commissioner.
Dr. Evermann will leave for Washing
ton, d. c., at once to prepare report on
the work done and observations made by
the party When seen this morning he
said:
The three-months trip was most pleasant
and profitable the weather being delightful
during the entire time. We visited every
salmon cannery and saltery in Eastern kadiak
Island-Kadiak Island being the headquarters
OF the expedition. Shuyak Island and Chiguck
Bay were also visited, ana we inspected thor
Oughly the'large salmon hatcheries on A1oguak
Island and the Goldfish hatchery on Shumagin
Island
The salmon industry is in fairly good con-
dtion but not fourishing as it was last
year or in previous years The pack IS grad
ually decreasing in size year by year 4 here
IL no question in my mind as 10 the TACT that
there Is a steady falling of in the abundance
Of salmon. There is still, however. an enor'
nous annual CATCH last years being worth
SS. 600. eco.
The purpose Of the expedition was to look
into the facts determine what was causing
the annual decrease and embOdy the results
in report to Congress. The commission Will
recommend to Congress that extensive Govern
uent hatcheries be established throughout
Alaska The present method of attempting 10
preserve the industry by regulations IS not
ADEQUATE The commission has concluded that
if the hatcherfes are established the supply
will meet the demand. and the only regula-
tions necessary will be those governing the
hatcheries.
In addition to the study Of salmon, the mem
hers of the party spent considerable time in
collecting aquatic animals-partcular attention
being paid to deep-sea dredging. The results
were very satisfactory.
President Jordan and DR.. Evermann Will
make the preliminary report to the Unit
ed States Fish Commission within few
weeks. but it will take nearly year TO
nreDare the final report
