Cannery Packs Almost Normal
 Some Districts

KETCHIKAN - The salmon pack in Ketchikan this year will be about S5 per cent of the normal pack, ac- cording to statements obtained from the local plant.
 During the last three or four days the salmon run has increased consid- erably with the result that the can neries now have greater supply of fish. Many canneries which prepared for a heavy season and which have been disappointed are now working to capacity and their mana gers yesterday reported the situa- tion much more optimistic. If the run experienced in this dis trict during the past number of days continues without lesseninF until midnight August IS, local cannerymen expect that the pack for the plants in Ketchikan will normal seasons.
 60.000 cases of salmon put up This figure is equal to the amount on hand at a similar period ir 1923 and 80 per cent of the amour canned at this time last year.
 The Libby, McNeil & Libby can, nery had S.100 cases canned last evening. about 5000 cases behind the amount canned last year or a corresponding date. The largest part of the Libbey. McNeil & Lib by pack has been put up durinc the past three days. officials Of the company reported. and they ex. pect to reach their normal figure f the present run keeps up.
 The Stuart Packing Co. reported their pack as so per cent of tn, normal amount.
 The Pure Food Cannery had ap- proximately 20000 cases of salmon canned yesterday As they were completing their cannery last year and have added much new equip ment since then. no comparison can be made.
 The Northland Packing Co. had 1S.o00 cases packed yesterday, ap- proyimately 10000 cases behind the mark at this time in 1924. Off, ficials of the company said yester- day that they did not expect to reach the normal pack as the run has come too late to enable them to make their usual amount.
 The Fidalgo Island Packing Co plant has 53.000 eases of salmon canned to date, 1000 cases less thar at similar period last year. Last year was an unusual year for that plant though, it was said yesterday as an unusually large run of chums was experienced. Their pack this year therefore is believed to be equal to that of other normal years
 The New England Fish Co., had 27.000 cases packed yesterday Their pack of red kings. medium reds and pinks is heavier than 1924.
