Salmon Trollers ! Rolling in Money
Chronicle and Empire Report

The following taken from the Empire of Juneau and similar ar ticle published in the Chronicle of Ketchikan point out in screaming letters that the king salmon trOller is not the poor laborer but roll ing plutocrat.
 King salmon trollers in the vi- cinity of Sitka are reaping a rich harvest, taking advantage of a heavy run of that variety of fish. according to Captain M. J. O'Con- nor, agent in charge of the U. S.. Bureau of Fisheries, who returned here today after spending several weeks around Baranoff Isand. The boats, he said, are averaging $1,000 per trip, at the prevailing price of 20 cents per pound.
 One troller alone sold his fish taken in two trips, in about two weeks time, for $470. This fisher man was putting out halibut gear when the run struck him. He took in 12O large kings on halibut gear and. these combined with the hali- but taken brought him $2S6. He returned with this fare to Sitka, outfitted with trolling gear and his first trip resulted in catch which brought hib $184.
 ''The run, Captain O'Connors said, is very heavy, and the fish themselves are unusually large. Many fish were caught in the vii cinity of Biorka Island"
 The Chronicle in another issue point to the fact that one of the reasons set forth by the trollers for the present strike, is the per- centage of small king at 8 cents does not permit of any profit tc the troller. We are prone to believe that someone had pipe dream ol took a puzz1e too much of the nee. tar that makes one loquacious.
 One trip one thousand dollars Ten trips, ten thousand dollars A hundred trips a hundred thou sand dollars. These swivel chai "experts" and Lawmakers" for th' salmon industry know as mucl about the industry as hog know about heaven.
