Steamer North Star Arrives In
From Nushagak River
NORTHERN PACK SATISFACTOR
Supt P. A. Berglund Reports Season
Free From Illness, Accident, And
All Untoward Conditions--Packs Of
the Columbia River Concerns.

True to the expectation OF her
owners, the Alaska Fishermens Pack
ing Company Of this city, the stout
little steamer North Star entered
port yesterday morning, docking at
the A. & c. pier at 9 o'clock precisely
after a pleasant voyage OF II days
from Nushagak and the Bristol Bay
salmon fisheries. She having left
there on Tuesday evening, August 6,
with the company's big carrier, the
ship Henry Willard. on her hawsers.
She dropped the ship "a hours later,
and sped home with her good news
81 satisfactory pack. OF no sickness,
accident nor death. and everybody
we'll and in the best OF spirits with
the seasons work and results.
Fifteen minutes after the Star had
bcrthed, Superintendent P. A. Berg
lund, the company's chief representa-
tive in the north, was in the Bond
street Office shaking hands with lot
Of people who were all glad to see
him and hear his cheerful account OF
the 1908 venture.
He and his party OF the North
Star brought down plenty OF home
mail and business dispatches, from
those who will be tardier in getting
out. and after seeing that property
bestowed went into conference with
his employers on business matters.
Enough was learned from Mr.
Bergland, however, to indicate, that
all the concerns fishing, canning and
packing in the Bristol Bay district,
had gone north this year with outfits
TO meet and handle normal pack,
but had met with conditions that ex-
hausted their last resources OF supply,
which is taken as surprising, when it
is known that Southeastern Alaska |
packers garnered scarcely anything
from those fisheries.
The packs OF the several Columbia
River companies doing business on
the Nushagak are reported, as fol-
lows:
Alaska Fishermen'A Packing Co.,
$1,000 cases.
Columbia River Packers Assn,
$1,000 cases.
Portland-Alaska Fishing Co., sS,-
700 cases,
The Henry Willard should be in
within the next 10 days. and will be
by the ship St, Nicholas, Of
he Columbia River Packers Associa-
ion, and the Berlin, of the Warren
interests, from IL to IA days later;
md it is hoped that all may arrive
Without any loss to match or ap-
roach the record of last year which

'urrier. ,
The consensus of the reports from
he north, while affirming the sharp
hortage in the Southeastern Alaska s
sheries, lends balance to the situa-
ion, by crediting the general supply h
nth a round million cases from the
Bristol Bay district and the market is r
hus restored to a normal standard,
