 Progress for the Season.

Four thousand cases of salmon nave already been packed at the Libby, McNeil & Libby cannery at Taku Harbor as we'll as 45 tierces of mild cured king salmon, accord ing to Superintendent c. F.. Ahues Of the plant, who arrived at Juneau th.s morning on the company s ten Ier. Fxcursio:
 The run of king salmon at the Taku River continues fair, according to MT. Ahues, and the gill netters there arc making considera ole money. As yet not many fish have been taken from the company traps south of the cannery. Although they have been lifted several times, no great number of fish havo been taken from them. The big tender William B. is in Icy Straits today lifting the traps there for the first time, so it is not yet known how the salmon run is in that vicinity
 F. Svensson, superintendent o9 the salmon packing division of the Libby, McNeil & Libby Company, has recently left the Taku Harbor plant and is now in this city await. ing a boat to Yakutat, where he will inspect the company's plant. He will remain there for several weeks and then go to Western Alaska on his annual inspection of all the plants belonging to Libby, McNeil & Libby.
