SALMON PACK E 100000 CASES
 OVER LAST YEAR

Heavy catches in Southeast AL aska waters since the opening ot the season August 9 continue to be reflected in the pack reports-but the cumulative total as of August 27 tells startling story in itself.
 Comparing cumulative totals at the end of a heavy fishing week in both 1948 and 194S seasons, the report shows l.041 800 cases of sal mon packed this year, as against 64O,7721a in 1948-an increase of a good 100000 cases.
 As fishing in the outside waters off Chichagof and Baranof Islands was delayed this week, the figure is even more significant, for it does not represent all of South east Alaska.
 District totals, in number of cases, are as follows: Ketchikan- 421, ,442; West Coast-142, ,122; Wran- ell-Petersburg-l71,21 ,218, and, in Ju- neau areas, Eastern-42,7l7; Vest ern-219,l27, and Icy Strait-45.- 174.
 The report is by the Fisheries Division, U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service.
