THE FISH INDUSTRY
ON THE PACIFIC COAST
lBv Frederic n Haskinl

Excepting the oyster and the her.
ring, the salmon has the greatest
commercial value of any fish and the
salmon fisheries of the Pacific coast
of North America produce the finest
in the world. The American salmon
fishing interests, including California
Oregon, Washington and Alaska, to-
gether with British Columbia, repre-
sent millions of dollars of investment
and produce millions of dollars of out
put annually Five species of salmon
are found in the northern Pacific wa
ters, the most important and best
known of which is the chinook, uuin-
nat or king salmon. 1t is known from
the Ventura river in California to
Norton sound in Alaska and has been
found on the Asiatic coast as far south
as southern China. There is no rea-
son why it is not likely to be found
even in the Arctic regions.
The king salmon changes color
somewhat with the seasons. In the
spring the body is silvery with more
or less numerous round black spots
upon the back, dorsal fin and caudal
fin and the side of the head have a
lustre resembling tin. In the fall the
color is in some places black or a
dirty red. The average weight of
this fish is about twenty-five pounds,
but individual fish weighing from sew
cnty to 100 pounds are sometimes ta-
ken. One salmon was caught in Kla-
wax Alaska, in 1909, which weighed
10Y pounds dressed and without the
head The size of the fish is apt to
vary according to its habitat. The
average weight for southeast Alaska
salmon is twenty-three pounds, for
those of Columbia river twenty-five
pounds, while those in the vicinity of
Sacramento average only sixteen

revive the trade in salt ;rring from
the Pacific coast to Chiaa which fell
behind last year. The Aering catch
of Alaska last year amounted to more
than 10000 tons and that Of the Pa
cific coast states to about sixth of
that amount. A plant 1T Killisnoc,
Alaska, has for a number of years
been making fertilizer aad oil from
herring, turning out an average of
10000 barrels yearly. 1t is said now
that about $4,000 tons Of cheap salted
herring could be mark tsd each year
in the Asiatic countries at from $50
a ton upwards. To iiany it would
seem that this would be Il more profit
able utilization of the 1. h than in the
manufacture of fertilizer and oil.
These demands for che.p fish, how
ever, are in the minds of many fish
experts serious menace to the her.
ring industry of the flture. Appli-
cation has been made by number
of trade organizations for locations
in Alaska to prepare herring for the
Asiatic trade and to e.nploy Japanese
labor in doing it, but there is strong
opposition on the ground that this
would tend to rob the government of
one of its greatest resources in Alaska
and prevent the settlement of that ter
ritory by desirable class of citizens
by the admission and the encourage
ment of these Asiatic operators.

GAMBLING AND GOVERNMENT.

A hundred years ago an Engl:sh
government was not ashamed. to be
common gambler. Oct. Is, 1926, the
last state lottery was drawn in Eng
land. The government lost a revenue
of a million and half dollars per
annum. Few English speaking people
of today realize how respectable the
lottery has been in some of the most
brilliant periods of their history.
One of the first great English state
lotteries on record in the reign of
Elizabeth, when "a very rich lottery
general of money, plate and certain
sorts of merchandise was set forth
by her majesty's special order in 1857.
The greatest prize was reckoned at
$25, 900, of which $4,000 was to be
paid in cash, $4,000 in plate and the
rest I'm good tapestry meet for hang
ings and other covertures and GER
tain sorts of CLOTH Four hundred
thousand lots were offered at 10 shill-
ings each, certain number divided
INTO halves, quarters, eighths and even
sixteenths "for the convenience of the
poorer classes Every kind of per-
suasive advertisement was to be used
Ito provoke the people to adventure
their money" and when subscriptions
were slack the queen issued an argu-
mentative proclamation setting forth
at length the advantages of the
scheme $50 that any scruple, suspi-
cion, doubt, fault or misliking espe-
cially of those that might be inclined
to suspicion might be dispeled and
Everybody have his reasonable con
tentation and satisfaction"
In 1912 James |, ''in special favor
for the plantation of the English col
onies in Virginia" granted a lottery
to be held at the west end of st.
Paul's. They were frequent in later
years with prizes of all sorts, from
money and jewels to collections of ar
NOR, libraries and even park of deer.
In 1869 a lottery was floated with a
capital prize of $4,000 to be won at
the risk of one penny. Each share
cost that trifling sum and only one
was to win.
Parliament passed act after act au-
thorizing lotteries for revenue. In
1876 a measure went through for
building bridge across the Thames at
Westminster by lottery consisting
of 125,0O0 tickets at $25 each. So
successful was this venture that 9th
ers were sanctioned one by one until
the bridge was completed Great mu-
nicipal undertakings in London were
financed in the same way. So it went
on growing in scale until parliament,
in a spasm of virtue, abolished lot
teries once and for all.
One way or another, in frank and
reckless betting, under the flmsy veil
of speculation, or made more respect
able in forms of industrial venture"
at all times and in all countries the
human instinct for gambling finds its
satisfaction. Today the Italian gov
ernment smiles openly upon that in
stlnct, conducts public lotteries for
the people and turns the proceeds to
public ends. The French government
treats gambling with austere toler-
ance, holding itself severely aloof.
but collecting big percentages from
the profits of casinos and gaming ta-
