YUKON CANNERY LOST MONEY ON
 SILVER SALMON

The fall run of salmon on the lower Yukon was a complete failure in so far as the Carlisle cannery at the mouth of Qwiguk slough was con- cerned, according to late arrivals in Nenana from the mouth of the river. Officials of the cannery, it is reported, claim a loss of fully $100,000 as a re- suit of the failure of the fall pack, the silvers being so scarce that it was impossible to put up more than sixty case some days, and many of the employees, who were under contract for the season, spent the greater part of the fall loafng around the plant
 Had the cannery been closed after the early summer run the profits for the season would have been very sub
 stantial and those i'll charge of the outfit are now lamenting the fact that they did not quit while the quitting was good. But they had visions of another big cleanup during the fall, and risked the spring profits waiting for the salmon which did not come. When it finally became apparent toI the management that there would be no fall run of fish. the cannery outfit was shut down and lowed into winter quarters at Andreafsky, The seasons pack aggregated about 57,OO0 cases, practically all of which represented
The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-14
the early summer canning. /

While it is generally agreed that the operation of the cannery worked great hardship on native and white settlements along the lower Yukon and it's tributaries, by causing short age of fish along the streams. reports indicate that considerable numbers of fish were caught higher up on the rivers For instance, it is stated that salmon were much more plentiful near Dawson than along the lower Yukon This is accounted for by the eXplana- tiOn that the fish swim deep on the long journey up stream, coming closer to the surface as they near the spawning grounds. Use of deeper nets, it is contended, would have enabled the natives along the various streams to have made larger catches, but in asmuch as the natives rely chiefly upon fish-wheels, which have pro dlced abundantly in past years, the deep net theory will not lessen the complaint against the cannery.
 This has been an off season for salmon" said G. s. Martin, who recently reached Nenana from the lower river. All the old-timers claim that the run was the poorest in years And practically all of the king salmon which entered the mouth of the Yu- kon early in the summer were caught by the Carlisle outfit, very few being permitted to get up the river"

WASHINGTON. July 22.--The strong
diplomatic pressure which the Ad-
ministration has been exerting on the
Japanese Government to force a state
ment concerning the return OF Shan
tung to China on a stipulated date
has not yet brought results, but Presi-
dent Wilson'S understood to be hope
full of obtaining timely aid from Toxic.
The difficulty is described by the
Japanese to be international politics
in Japan" but this reason for with
holding a definite statement is not
regarded here as constituting a
serious obstacle
Officials OF the japanese Embassy,
therefore, are still being persuaded TO
do everything in their power to bring
action from Toxic.
The japanese Charge d'Anaires, Kat
suji Debouchi, is doing his utmost to
stem the tide of American sentiment
against the japanese on the Shantung
matter and has discussed the question
at length with the State Department.
He has been advised pointedly by Amer
lean officials to urge his Government to
make a definite statement and the be-
lief here is that he has been hoping his
Government would do so.
The Japanese Governments first stand
was that the Shantung question would
bs handled bv direct negotiation be-
tween Toxic and Pekin, but that these
nese officials had ceased criticism of
Japan and withdrawn their imputations
OF Japanese bad faith. The Adminis-
tration here accepted Japan's profession
of good faith and did not question the
Toxic promise to protect Chinese rights.
but at the same time II was emphasized
that a public statement of a very def
mite character was imperatively re-
Quired.
Unless such a statement came in the
near future, II was emphasized. Presi-
dent Wilson's position would be increas-
iLgly embarrassing and the prospects OF
acceptance OF the treaty by the Senate
materially lessened.
One great obstacle, so far as the Jap
Rnese Governments present plans are
concerned, admittedly comes from the
watchful policy OF the Chinese. who are
ready to srrutinize closely any Japanese
statement with view to dissectng its
true meaning for the American public.
Foi this reason anything but a bona
fide and definite pledge on the part OF
Japan TO restore Chinese rights fully
might only aggravato the situation, it is
explained.

PARIS. July 22.-Should the Ameri-
can Senate ratify the peace treaty
with reservations. the French Parlia-
ment probably would do likewise.
Careful investigation in the Parlia-
mcnt lobbies shows an increasing dis
satisfaction with certain parts Of the
treaty deemed disadvantageous to
France, principally the Rhine clauses,
because of the letters of Marshal Foch.
The French Parliament does not
want to take the lead in making reser-
vations, but If the American Senate
acts before the debate here is con-
cluded. which is not likely to be before
the last week in August, and should
the Senate vote for reservations. there
seems to be ne question that a major
ity in the French Parliament will vote
for the same action. This prediction
Is made not only by members of Par
lament. but also at the French For
eign Office.
CIemencenu's Attitude in Doubt.
What Premier ClemenCeau's attitude
would be is a matter of conjecture, but
II America sets the precedent the indica-
tions are that he would be obliged to
make this concession to the supporters
Of Marshal Foch. who are becoming nu-
mat SItnufinn In Pa rlin -
ment turns n good deal on the American
Senate. whose proceedings are being
followed very closely here.
The principal reservation here would
be that the French should occupy the
approaches to the Rhine. 1t is evident
from information impaired 10 THE SUN
by various members that the Foch let
ters which Premier Clemenceau produced
have made tremendous impression,
supplemented by the statements which
the Premier made at the secret meeting
of the peace committee OF the Chamber
OF Deputies last week.
1t appears now that the Premier was
asked during a heated session OF the
committee why in the Council of Four
he had not followed the advice of his
military experts He replied that Pres
!dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd George
had given him the choice between a
military occupation Of the right bank
OF the Rhine by France alone or an
alliance, and he preferred an alliance.
Did you question Marshal Foch at
an?" Clemenceau then was asked. To
whUh he replied
YES. l questioned the Marshal. who
told me he preferred the occupation by
France alone to an alliance II the alli-
ance was not to contain any military
convention"
