"ESCAPEMENT SMALL"

Commissioner O'Malley is report. ed as being deeply disappointed at tho escapement at Anan Creek where only about 25,OOO salmon had escaped to spawning beds; and at Olive Creek was even less satis- factory.
 We remember when the Alaska Packers at Wrangell alone put up 67,OOO cases of salmon by the 1st of August from Anan and largo number of scoWloads of sal mon shipped to Loring at the same time; Santa Ana cannery put up the same year 35,OOO cases of sal mon from the same district without the use of single trap. Lake Bay put up about 10000 from that area and the Kasaan, ChomIey and Yes Bay canneries further drew on the this famous stream.
 To see 100000 salmon In the la gOon at Anan was a common sight witnessed by certain men now pro- minent ill the canning world.
 Hauls at the mouth of the Anan creek were not satisfactory if less than 10000 and it was q common sight to see hauls of 3O,OOO along the Point Warde shores below the creek. And the Commissioner has the temerity recently to tell old. time fishermen that an escapement of 100000 salmon to Anan was a satisfactory escapement.
 The "illiterate" native will tell Doctor Gilbert that there is no mys. tery in the non-appearance of the salmon, the only mysterious thing being the fact that the. fisheries has lasted as long as it has in spite of the intensive trap fishing and the Bureau of Fisheries.
