Of Puget sound sockeyes and piuks. and Alaska pinks the ap. proximate catch for the season is only a little bit over 100000 cases, while last year it was more than 100000. This, in spite of the cutting off of much of the European market, is bound to send the price up to a certain extent.

 It is reported that hundreds of acres of willows along Nome river are being destroyed by worms which threaten to destroy all the willows of the country. As the willows are the natural protec- tion and food for the birds and animals during the winter months the loss of these by worms may be very serious one.
