which is taken as surprising, when it
is known that Southeastern Alaska
packers garnered scarcely anything
from those fisheries.
The packs of the several Columbia
River companies doing business on
the Nushagak are reported, as fol
lows: I Alaska Fishermen' Packing Co.,
42.000 cases.
j Columbia River Packers' Asn.,
51.000 cases.
) Portland-Alaska Fishing Co., 58,
A00 cases.
j The Henry Villard should be in
j within the next 10 days, and will be
j followed by the ship St. Nicholas, of
j the Columbia River Packers' Associa
tion, and the Berlin, of the Warren
interests, from 12 to 14 days later;
and it is hoped that all may arrive
without 'any loss to match or ap
proach the record of last year which
saw the finish of the good ship John
Currier.
The consensus of the reports from
the north, while affirming the sharp
shortage in the Southeastern Alaska
fisheries, lends balance to the situa
tion, by crediting the general supply
with a round million cases from the
Bristol Bay district and the market is
thus restored to a normal standard.
