OF
Juneau Dispatch, July 11th: Dur
ing the present week there have
been more salmon in the waters of
Southeastern Alaska than could be
handled by the canneries. In fact,
all records have been broken for the
ph<Mominal run on salmon and the
earlv date at which it occurs.
Friday of this week the cannery
at Fuiiter Bay put up 3,5S0 c;ises
of salmon, which is the record for
that place for a single day. The i
capacity of this cannery is 140,000
casei for tho season and it expects)
to complete the pack much earlier
ihaa usual this season. 1
On the same day the best single
-lay's record was made at the Hawk
Inlet cannery of 2,775 cases. Should
the run continue, this cannery ex
pects to complete its pack of 120,
UOi) cases inside of another two
we»ks.
From all parts of Southeastern
Alaska come reports of a heavy run
of salmon now under way, with
mora fish than the canneries can
handle.
The Columbia river pack was
earlier and was marked also with
a heavy run of fish, and the same
is true of the canneries to the
westward along the coast of Alas
ka and as far north as Bristol Bay.
Some of the canuer.vmen 'believe that
the favorable climatic conditions are
largelv responsible for the large
and early run.
