ANNUAL SALMON PACK
 NOT UP TO NORMAL Fish Commissioner Henry OMalley Makes Statement After Exten-
 sive Western Trip

Fish Commissioner Henry 0'Mal- ley who returned to Juneau Thurs day afternoon from a trip Of g days duration to the westward, Is author fly for the statement that the 1927 salmon pacK VIII De less than nor nal unless there should be phenom- enally heavy runs of fish during the remainder of the season. Except for the Prince William Sound focal fly Mr. 0Malley reports all the eanneries in the westward as fall Ing below the average-sized packs. The run of pinks in Prince William Sound has been up to that of other good years.
 Within the past ten days there have been noted increases in the run of fish and in some places where eanneries had been ordered to sus- pend operations to add to escape ment to spawning grounds. the or ders were suspended when notable heavy increases in the runs were observed.
 In the Juneau district the 9th day of August is the date for the suspension of taking salmon and in the Ketehikan district the season closes a few days later.
 In the Cook Inlet district the pack this year was only about one-sixth less than that of last year on simi- lar dates but in the Bristol Bay dis triet the falling off was fully one third.
 Commissioner OMalley is at a loss to account for the falling off in the run of fish this year although it is not unusual for a lean year to fol- low a good year and last year was one of the best in the history of the canning industry in Alaska.-stron- CTS Weekly.
