SALMON CATCH IN
COLUMBIA IS HEAVY
Final. Pack of Canneries for
Season Is Estimated at
389,000 Full Cases.
VALUE RUNS IN MILLIONS,
Effect of War la Felt by Cold-Stor
age Men In Disponing of Stock

' Vmst Vear Kecord Pawed.
ASTORIA! Aug.":.MspeciaL) "Tha
best In years." Is tha way all connected
with the salmon fisheries of the Colum
bia River describe -the season closing
August 15. It wag not a record-breaker
by any means, for the time waa when
the csnnefles on the Columbia River
packed (00.000 full, cases of salmon.
almost double the" amount put up this
year, but that is another story- ,
The season, however, haa been most
profitable, exceot tor the cold storage
men and tho glllncctera who operate
at the. mouth of tna river close to the
bar. The 'uprlver wheelmen are also
a little disappointed, the low water of
the last few. weeks materially curtau
Ina; the otch there.
Taken aa a whole the pack of Spring
salmon la approximately 2S per cent
ahead of the amount put up last year,
the - canned pack being considerably
better and the pickled or cold storage
dragging somewhat.
Total Pack Eatlmate 380,000. v
The total canned pack for the season
Is slightly more than 3S9.000full cases
of 48 pounds each, and is about 110,000
cases In excess of last year.
The cold storage output for the season
proximate S10 tierces.' or about 1200
tierces less than a year, ago. The steel
head run waa light and practically none
of them lias been f rosen.-. .
The war. however, has so disrupted
the market for the-plakled or cold
storsge product by -shutting off the
principal market, Germany, that the
greater portion of these large salmon
went into cans. Two of the cold-storage
plants have not been In operation this
year, their fish going direct to the
canneries and only one plant on the
river has frosen a notable quantity of
steelhearis.
Beginning in Juljv the salmon en
tering the river averaged smaller until
the proportion between large and small
fish was about halt and half, and that
is the way they have continued since.
War t aaaea Slump la Market.
-Aa a direct result ot the continuation
of the war in Europe, the cold-atorage
men are having considerable difficulty
in disposing of their packs and the
market Is slow. On the other hand the
demand for the canned product is good
and bids fair to be much stronger in
the Immediate future.
To obtain accurate figures on the
pack is practically impossible for the
double reason that packer are adverse
to giving out statistics, and so great a
Dortion of the pack Is put up in half
caaea of II pounds each. A conserva
tive estimate place the canned pack
at STt.SOO rases aa they run, or ap
proximately 20.140 full cases.
As 20 tons of raw fish are required
fur each 1000 cases, this pack repre
sents ii. 340.000 rounds of raw salmon,
The cold storage or pickled output com
prises 210 tierces, each containing 800
pounds of cured fish, or 1100 pounds
of raw salmon, a total of 3.476.000
pounds. At the ruling prices paia. mis
means that the sum or ii.hj.uto u
been paid to the gillnetters. trappers
and others for raw fish this season.
Figuring the wholesale prices at f
a full case for canned salmon and 16
cents a pound for pickled fish, the
cured product from the Columbia Itiver
fisheries during the season now com
ing to a close is worth In the markets
of the world the enormous sum of S3,-
