Some Interesting Points of the Early History of the Great Salmon
 Industry.
VERY CRUDE METHODS
First Cannery Was Built Built on a ScoW in the Sacramento River
 by Wm. Hume.
(Ry EDWARD F. MARTINI


 It is not generaJy known that the great industry of salmon canning had its inception in California.
 The first cannery in the United States, the first in the world exclu- sively devoted to salmon, was on a scow or houseboat opposite Sacra- inento on the river of the same name.
 In 1852, William Hume came to California from Augusta, Maine, and, with two friends, built a cabin on the banks of the Sacramento op- posite to what is now K street of Sacramento City
 Hume had heard of the salmon of California before leaving his New England home, and figured that there would be more money in fish ing, which was not overdone, than in digging for gold, which was. So, before starting for the Golden State, he made long gill net of mesh, large enough for use in salmon catching.
 lie nad gained more or less Knowledge of salmon and salmon fishing from experience on the Ken nebec River in Maine. where. as all so on the Penobscot. and. in fact. all other rivers in Maine, salmon were rather plentiful seventy years ago, and. besides gill nets. weirs and fish traps were built in the more desirable locations, seins also being favored by some of the ex- perts.
 Pioneer Salmon Fishers.
 The Humes were pioneers in the

salmon fishing business, and made money at it for several generations, in fact, since the year 1780, as in- deed they should, for they learned it from their Scottish ancestors, who were salmon fishers and salmon catchers on the rivers Tweed and Fay hundred years before the time of their New England sons.
 In 1856 Hume returned to Maine. He had found good thing and wished more of the Hume family to be in on the deal < He remained in his old home only long enough to induce his brothers John and George to accompany him back to Califor- nia When there, the three got busy immediately and gave the sal mon no rest.
 In 1863 George Hume returned to Maine, looking for the right kind of man to help him out on a plan he had in mind. He found him in the shape of Andrew Hap good, a down east Yankee, who could do almost anything with tools. His intimates said he could build man-of-war with a pack knife. @'.
 Hapgood himself was something of a pioneer in the canning game, having for several years, so Hume was informed, been engaged in put ting up Holsters near the Bay of Choleur in the Province of Quebec, also experimenting with salmon in small way.
 Hume hunted up Hapgood and salmon, until the lobster man be- came enthusiastic himself, agree ing, under certain conditions, to come to the coast in time to handle the catch of 1864. for the plan Hume had in his mind was the es- tablishing of cannery on the Sac ramento river.
 The conditions, the principal one of which was a proper financing of the venture, having been complied with, Hapgood came and a cannery was built on a scow which was moored close to the cabin at the foot of K street.
 Prosperous Business.
 The venture paid from the very start, although a market had to be worked up. timed salmon being an unheard of thing up to this time, the price uncertain, rarely more than two dollars a case, and the pack of each year the scow-cannery was operated but two thousand cases. still the partners did all the work themselves. Their living ex- penses were Title or nothing. and.

beyond the cost of tin and solder for the cans, nearly all the money taken in was profit.
 The tools and machinery were of the most primitive kind, really the only machinery" being boiler thirty-six inches in diameter, for the cooking, notched stick for measuring the lengths in which the salmon should be cut to fit the cans, and a butcher knife to do the cutting.
 Hapgood made the cans, using ner's shears and soldering iron. He also did the cooking, attending which there was much mystery. One end of the scow was partitioned off for cook room. A hand hole was cut through the board partition, and through this the filled cans were passed, no one butS partner being permitted to see what then hap pened, or even allowed in the room, cooking or no cooking.
 In spite of there being no labor saving devices and of Hapgoed be- ing over worked, they prospered and, finally, salmon not being plentiful and desiring to expand, thing i'm possible where they were, at the end of two years they moved to a location on the Columbia river, where their business increased more rapidly than they could handle it.. Opposition came also, but, with people learning how good can sal mon was, the demand increased and there was no recession of prices, on the contrary, a gain rather than a loss.
 Development Of Industry.
 The first year of their Columbia river venture 1000 cases were put up. The second year 1S,000, the average selling price for both years dollar and sixty cents per forty eight pound case. Hapgood and the Humes built better than they knew. Fifty years after they start ed to blaze the trail in California there were a hundred and fifty can neries in operation on the Pacific Coast, the output close to S,000,- 900 cases, 380,000, ,000 pounds, with selling value around four dollars case, this before the war boomed prices still higher, and with the present year the most prosperous the salmon packers have ever known.
 Truly this is great oak to grow from so small an acorn, but then in 1 1864, with no set place to market their pack and with poor transpor- tation facilities, it would have been a question just how many moro the Humes could have sold than the D. 900 eases cooked in their scow boat cannery.
