FISHERIES ARE
PRODUCTIVE
Fisheries Products .of fsf9iO
Are More Than Seven
and a Half Million

OLYMPIA. June THE annual re-
port of Fish Commissioner John l..
Riseland made Yesterday to Governor
Hay, shaws that the total value OF the
products of Washington's fish indus
try for 1910 was $7,5OO,564. While the
total shows shrinkage in value COM
pared with the extraordinarily pros
porous year of 1909, 1910 is regarded
by Commissioner Riseland as satisfac-
tory.
AS the salmon attains it's highest
mark every four years, the next big
salmon run is not due until 1913.
"The season of 1909 was the most
prosperous in the history of the in
dustry," said Commissioner Riseland
in his report. THE quantity of the pro-
duct handled exceeded that of any
ceding year and owing to the splen-
did prices obtain the value was great
er than that of any other year by
$3,16S. .64S.30. The season of 1910, for
an off year, was also the banner year
of the industry
Salmon Half of Total.
The salmon fisheries supply more
than one-half of the total value of
the fish products. Washington is bet
ter supplied with fish hatcheries than
any other state in the Union and the
policy of the state has been to con-
serve the fishing industry.
In the Grays Harbor district the
value of the canneries and fishing
appliances is 1923, ,425. In the operation
of the plants $4,000 was paid to la
Dor. The total value of the output was
S441,150.
The report shows that 12,162 per
sons are employed in the fishing in
dustry, and that the earnings of labor
for the year ending March 81, 1911
We're $3,514,S65.
