SALMON PACK OF ALASKA IS
 HALF NORMAL
With Few Plants Operatir! the Total Is Less Than
 for Many Years Past.

According to figures compiled by the Pacific Fisherman, the total pack of canned salmon in all of Alaska for this season is 2,3000OO cases. This is little more than half of last year 's pack of 4.390,937 cases and the low est since 1907 when 2169,S73 cases were brought from Alaska.
 The pack of the entire Pacific Coast may be roughly estimated at a little over half of that of last year. With total carry-over from last year of not to exceed 2,000000 cases, the total supply of salmon available for the next year is about a million cases less than the total pack of 1920 The outlook is good, it is said, for a complete cleanup of canned salmon before next summer.
 Southeast Alaska
 With but 31 canneries operating in Southeastern Alaska as compared to so last year, the pack is estimated as being slightly over 500,000 cases. as compared to 2,2O2,276 cases last year and over 3,000,000 for each of the three years previous. The pack will be the smallest since 1905.

BETTING BANKER Ei IaF
 CLOSES HIS DOORS

BERLIN, Aug 27-Disaster has overtaken the proprietor of one of the largest combined betting and banking institutions in Germany. Karl Kohen, who recently rose from a horse-meat butcher to a millionaire by the same methods several others have used, sent out circular letter to his thousands of customers, in forming them the business had been turned over to a receiver, and that he would be unable to pay the enor- nous dividends promised.
 His scheme of playing the races with their money was not at fault however, he insisted. but the govern ment had levied too exorbitant tax on his business, which, combined with some unwise iloans, forced him to close the doors.
 1 Included in his assets, amounting to nearly 40000,O00 marks, is lux uriously furnished villa and racing stable, large farm, quantities oi 1 jewels and banking institution with 40 branches scattered throughout the country
 The government has made nc charge against Kohen, but has begun investigations. as similar firms con tinue to do rushing business.
