from here, and Taeoma trot the order.
Portland harbor might accommodate
any transport that may be used In the
hauling; of thle lumber to the Philip
pines, and daUy la loading- larger tramp

PRICE OF SALMON

Action of Cold Storage Men May

PLANNING TO PICKLE
SMALL SIZED FISH
Result Will Be to Force Canners to
Pay More Money for Catch Rea-
' soned That Shortage , of Puget
Sound Sockeyes Will Help Outlook
(Special .piapateh to The JoaraaL)
Astoria,' Deo. 1. In tha opinion of
salmon packers, tha cold storage men
of the Columbia river will next season
accept 1 0-pound fish for pickling pur
poses. , Heretofore tha. cold storages
have confined themselves to handling
35-pound flah, smaller -salmon being
considered not large enough for the
trade; but next seaaon the limit will
probably be decreased by five pounds.
Should this action be taken, salmon
packing on tha Columbia will be revolu
tionised. The cold storages have ele
vated the prloe of the raw material,
and the reduction of the limit would
mean a atUI further advance In price.
The canners heretofore have been able
to secure under-sised fish at 6 centa a
pound, but If the cold, storages accept
such salmon they will pay a centa. and
the packers will be compelled to meer

choice grades. v
Packers are confident that Columbia
Viver prices will soar next year, and al
ready It Is predicted that 11.10 will be
the opening price for halves, tl.fi for
flats and ll-7t for tails. The Puget
sound run of sockeyes will be a failure
for at least three years to con and
some sound fish dealers have ueclared
that the run will never again assume
Its erstwhile proportion and It la reck
oned that the Columbia river product
will be -left almost alone in the high
grade market. This will make It com
paratively simple for the packers to
fix prices to suit themselves, and If
they -can but get together tha figures
quoted above will prevail. '
Made XdtUe Money.
Of late yea re the packers have made
little money. The- fish for which they
pay cents a pound goes into first class
cans, while (-cent -salmon seldom gets
out of the second and third grades. This
leaves tfie'rinargln of profit so small
that business interruptions eliminate
profit. Petty differences haatoed In
the . way of agreement In the past, but
the sentiment Is growing that closer re
lations' are necessary.
As evidencing the value of advertla
Ing, the statement of a prominent packer
relative to the creation of a market for
"Alaska reds" Is Interesting. When
Alaska reds were first packed thev could
not be disposed of. Ths trade demanded
Columbia river fish and the . sockeva.
The Alaska product had no claim for
greatness and the proepeot waa dark.
It occurred to a prolific packer one day
that the color cry might be set up to
aavaniage, ana nil u waa tnea.
Dry Made Qood. .
The Alaska packers declared that
color was everything and that fish which
were not red were not good. The cry
made good, and now the trade In other
words, the brokers demand red fish.
As a matter of fact, the color of salmon
has nothing to do with ths quality, but
the trade cannot do made to believe It.
The tendency of the fishing Industry
Is toward, tha cold storage business.
Every year the cold storage output In
creases, and it la estimated that It per
cent more fish will be pickled next year
tnan was put in orine aunng the osst
season. It tne trade wants canned sal
mon, it must pay. more for It, for the
packers must compete with tha cold
storage men for the raw material.
