Riddell, authorized at a noon meet ing of the general committee on re ception and arrangements to go to San Alaska Pack Shows Alarming: De cline and Rise in Prices Is Deemed Inevitable. Shortage of the salmon pack is pre dicted, unless fish soon become more plentiful. The Pacific coast salmon pack in 1918 was 10,100,000 cases, but unless the Puget Sound district makes good, the pack will not exceed 6,000,000 cases. It is getting doubtful about Puget Sound, although the fish are be ing optimistically expected. All along the coast the fishing con ditions are reported as unsatisfactory. A small pack will probably mean an in crease in prices, so the consumer i: particularly interested in the non-ap pearance of the fish. In the Columbia the first two weeks of the season opened big. and the catch was tar greater than lor the same period last season. Then for a time the catch equaled last season and of late the catch has decreased. There is still time for last seasou's catch to be equaled, as the spring season does not close until August 25. At the rate the fish are coming into the river, the pros pects are not encouraging. i ne snaa ana DiueoacK packs are short.but the chinook is even or better than last year. Reports from the Oregon coast streams indicate a light pack. The Lmpqua and Rogue and the fisheries at aldport are not doing what they nopea ror. Western Alaska is 50 per cent short and southeastern Alaska is little bet ter. The indications point to half j pack in Alaska. In some parts of Alaska the pack has fallen as low as 5 per cent.
