President Roosevelt and his fiscal

little talk today of actual tax details
was taken as a further indication that
at least the first phase of the plan

Previous reports had described the
immediate tax plans as aimed primar-

Bristol Bays total salmon pack
for this season, which closed last
Saturday night is 1893 1903 cases, ac-
cording to figures compiled by the
U. S. Bureau of Fisheries office
here. This compares favorably with
the peak year of 1884 when 1,739,-
678 cases were put up. Last sea-
son only 2 limited catch was per-
mitted in the district with the re-
suit that only 242,100 cases were
packed.
With Bristol Bay furnishing this
size pack there is indication that
the total pack in Alaskan waters
will go over the six million-case
mark, according to L. G. Wingard,
Alaska Agent for the Bureau, av-
eraging up to the normal, but,
perhaps, not reaching the banner
year of 1884 when a total of APP
proximaately 1.250,000 cases were
packed in Alaska. However, it is
expected to surpass last season
when the total pack was just over
100000 cases.
% Canneries Operated
Twenty-three canneries operated
in the Bristol Bay region this sea-
son compared with 81 in 1884, the
additional ones this year being
located at Egekik and Nushagak, but
this was offset to large degree by
the fact that the big double can
merry of the Bristol Bay Packing
Company at Peterson's Point burn
ed to the ground recently with the
loss of all the seasons pack in that
plant.
In commenting on the season in
Bristol Bay, Mr.. Wingard said:
THE run on the Naknek and Xvi
chak rivers was remarkable in its
volume and continued strong
throughout the entire season. This
run was entirely responsible for the
tremendous pack. The Egegik river
run was only average and the Nu-
shagak river run was poor"
