SALMON PACK GAINS
 IN ALASKAN WATERS

An increase of six per cent is
 noted in the Alaskan salmon pack
 through August as compared with
 the same period last year, and the
 gain will be further augmented by fall fishing, according to Lewis
 Radcliffe, deputy commissioner of the Commerce Departments Blu
 reau of Fisheries.
 A tentative estimate of the pack for the 1881 season to August 31
 has been made by the Bureaus Ser
 attle office in cooperation with the
 Association of Pacific Fisheries.
 The total to that date was 5,335,4 ,461
 cases, as against 4,639,500 cases in 1880 to August 31 and 5,C32,326 for the entire season of 193O
 It is of interest to note that the output of red salmon in 1881 is almost double that of the preceding year and also shows a fair increase over the average for the five-year period. This was due primarily to the splendid runs in the important Bristol Bay region, particularly on the east side of the bay, where there were good runs and escape ments in 1926, the brood year for l a large proportion of this seasons ! fish. Excellent runs of pink salmon | the waters of Southeastern 1 Alaska, with the resule that despite l curtailed operations the production l of this species was well above the average for recent years, although it was substantially less than the 1880 output.
 Comparing the preliminary fig ures for 1881 with the average for the five-year period from 1926 to 1880, by districts, both Southeastern 1 and Western Alaska show gains of approximately six per cent, while l for Central Alaska there is de- cline of II per cent.
