CONGRESS LEADERS
 SPEED UP BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-With only five weeks remaining before the final adjournment of Congress, Administra- tion leaders are renewing their ac- tivities in behalf of the three princi- pal pieces of legislation which have been marked for passage at this session, namely, the Rural Credits bill, the Army appropriation, and the Ship Subsidy measure. Leaders in both the Senate and House are de- termined to utilize every means to bring about the passage of the princi- pal issues for which the Administra- tion stands. That there is no more time to be lost is the concensus of opinion among the sponsors of the bills, and the remaining weeks of the session will probably see some viz orous action on both sides of the two Houses.

Statistics of the salmon pack of the season of 1922 for Alaska, British Columbia, Oregon and Washington have just been issued by the Bureau of Commerce, copies of which were received by the local office of the Fisheries Bureau on yesterdays boat. The figures show some interesting features, as compared with last years pack The total pack for Alaska this year amounted to 4,49916 cases as against 2,596,826 of last year. Of this number there were packed 2,O69,485 Reds, an increase of 303,687 cases over those of 1921; 1,659,26S Hump backs, as against ,984 of last year; 564,3 cases of Chums, an increase of BOSSES, or more than double the Chum pack of last year; while the pack of Kings fell off, last years figures being 44,994 and this years amounting to only 30,555.
 Of the Red salmon pack Western Alaska put up by far the proponder- ating amount with 1,404011 cases, Central Alaska coming second with 535,373 cases, and Southeastern Alas ka tagging far behind with 130,101. Southeastern Alaska far more than made up for the discrepancy in numbers, however, with a total pack of 2,014.99S cases, of which 1,332,187 were Humpbacks. Central Alaska's total pack was 989,73S cases, in which the Reds and Humpies took first and second place, Humpies num- bering 314,279 cases. These totals are material increase over those of 1921 when Southeastern Alaska put up a total of S03,071 cases, Central Alaska accounted for 643,099 and Western Alaska had record of -1,15O.656.
 The striking feature of the packs in Southeastern Alaska this year is the great increase in Humpbacks, last years figure for that district being only 416,7S1 as against the 1,332,1S7 of this season. Central Alaska put up many more Cohoes and Chums and increased last years pack of 7,147 Humpies to 14,279, while the pack in both Reds and Kings fell off somewhat. Western Alaska increased it's pack of Reds by 326,187 cases and it's pack of Kings by 13,040, while it's pack of Cohoes and Chums materially decreased. The enormous run of Humpbacks has been the outstanding incident of the sea- son, but for which the Southeastern Alaska pack would have shown a marked falling off, whereas Western Alaska shows a decided increase in the principal species on which it de- bends. But for the Humpbacks, also, Central Alaska would have been short.
 The total pack for the year for North American waters amounted to 6,443,349, of which Alaska supplied two and a third times as many cases as all the other districts combined, the Oregon and Washington pack being 655,7O9, and that of British Columbia, 1,28S,478, or a total of 1,944,1S7, as against Alaska's 4,4a9,162 cases. Of the total pack for all dis tricts the Reds predominated with 2,452,295 cases, the Humpbacks came second with 2,243, ,123, the Chums took third rank with S89,725, the Cohoes fourth with 474,12S, the Kings being last with 384,07S.
