WORLD'S SALMON SUPPLY

Salmon Commit Suicide When Four
Years Old if Not Killed Before
Reaching That Age.
Nearly all of the world's supply of
uuincu mimon is packed on the Pa
cific coast, and since the business was
organised In a methodical manner In
lss about 55.000,000 cases, worth
about $220,000,000. have been packed
and sold on the market.
More than IS, 000,000 cases have
been packed on the Columbia river,
1,000,000 cases In Alaska, 10,000,000
cases In British Columbia and 5.
00,000 on Puget Sound. For the first
few years the Sacramento river had
a monopoly of the business. Then It
began In a small way on the Colum
bia. In 1876 the first canneries were
built In British Columbia; two years
later, In Alaska, and in 1891
two Frenchmen, Dr. Monod and M.
Oofroy, went to Belllngham and start
ed a little cannery the first on Pu
get Sound. It failed the first year,

delphia Press.
Mr. Onfroy saw that the money
was Is the fish and not In the packing,
ao he hustled around and secured
options upon all the best locations for
traps. Any man can locate a fish trap
anywhere on the shore by following
the same rules that regulate mining
and homestead claims, and he very
soon took up all the best locations,
and, having them as assets, organized
new company. The next year he

Vlnol Substituted lor Cu4 Liver Oil a
Wonderf ul liupror-.ent.
Mr. Brock, of the Brouk McCo
mas Co., whose name is so closely as
soclated with Vlnol, the wonderful
discovery, Is by this time becoming
used to answering questions. Yes
terday, In answer to a reporter, he
said: "People are not making an
many Inquiries of me as they did.
am now having my Innings, and you
may be sure I am improving them
by asking questions. This talk of the
difficulty of introducing a new dis
covery Is one of your newspaper fel
low's yarns. Let the discovery be all
right, and it goes right on and Intro
duces Itself. All you need to do Is
to give It a little shove and make li
stand out before the public. It will
do the rest. Yes, I did have to an
swer a great many questions for i
few days I will admit that; and, of
course, I am not entirely through yet.
But Vinol's friends are talking for it
almost as well as it talks for Itself,
and good news, as well as news of
that which will do good, get around
pretty fast,
"You see it was not a very difficult
thing to explain. Everybody grasped
the idea in a minute, when I told
them that the real value of cod liver
oil existed In certain active principles
always found in the liver of the live
cod. It. was not very hard work for
any one to believe that these same
principles could be obtained by a spe
sary to have them connected with
the disagreeable and vlle-smelllng
grease that formerly was a part of
the remedy which they had known as
cod liver oil. Well, that Is about all
I had to fell them. It is not very
hard work for even a child to compre
hend that given a certain extract that
contains valuable medicinal princi
ples, that Just the right amount can
be administered, and even a child
could mix this same extract In the
t'eilclous table wine which we are
using, and which, so prepared, goes
under the name of. Vinol.
"Yes, Indeed, any number of people
have already found out the value of
Vtnol, Lots of them are coming to
me every day and tolling me that
they knew It was necessary tot them
to take cod liver oil, but they could
not do it. They are now telling me of
the good tncy are deriving from Vln
ol. and I am surprised myself at the,
rapid way such benefits show them
selves. This is where I nW asking
my questions and collecting a nice lit
tle batch of information In regard to
the good that is being done in this
city to people we all know. Will I
publish any of it? Oh, I do not think
I will. Not for the present at least,
and of course I never would without
the full permission of the people who
tell me their stories. Many of them
say more than they would like to see
In print, they are so enthusiastic on
the subject. Yet. perhaps, I will in
a few dayst be able to give you the
names of a few of the best known
people in the city, who are" warm ad
vocates of Vlnol, and doing more in
a minute to gain new converts for It
than I could In a week,
consolidated with the Pacific Steam I clal process, without its being neces.
miming company at Ban f ranclsco,
which was working in Alaska, and
they called the new concern the Pa
cific Packing & Navigation company.
Floated on Water.
It was one of the biggest corpora
tions ever floated on water, with V
00,004 of stock and 15,000,000' g(
bonds, which were sold for cash in
the open market to a confiding pub
lie, and more than paid the entire cost
f the plant and the promotion. It
was soon developed, however, that the
business could not even pay the Inter-,
est on he bonds, and there was noth
ing to (Jo but to 'go into court and ap
point a receiver, whB has peen
ping (he company since.
This . I
compuny tuts an immense
amount of property, however, includ
ing 19 canneries in Alaska and on
Puget Sound, 40 fish traps, which
practically monopolize the Puget
Bound, fisheries and as many more in
'Alaska, with a big fleet of steamers,
schooners, scows, tugs and other flat
boats and fishing things. 1
Not only In Puget Sound, however,
but all along the coast wrecks are
trewn and millions of dollars of In
nocent money have been sunk In en
terprises tt lh6 wildest description
ever tnw promoters and speculators
got hold of the business.
The ease with which the raw ma
terial can be obtained and the steady
and increasing demand tor the fin
ished product offered an Irresistible
temptnllon to speculators and adven
turers to engage in the salmon pack
ing business. The public went wild
over their schemes and fought each
other for the opportunity of investing
their money In water. Conducted up
on a rational and conservative basis
there Is no better business, for the
fish and the market are both certain
and the demand never ceases.
Fish Commit Suicide.
Although every salmon commits
suicide when he is 4 years old, if he
is not captured by the trappers before
his self-destruotlon, each female fish
leaves a million or more eggs and a
large proportion of them are hatched
Into healthy "fry" by artificial care,
" This business has been Intrusted to
competent scientific men in all the
Pacific states, and they plant the riv
ers annually Vwith billions of young
fish that go out to sea before they
celebrate their first birthday and re
turn again to spawn and die when
they are 4 years old. The United
States government also plants mil
lions every year and exercises a gen
eral supervision over the business,
which is growing annually.
Where the Pack is Sold.
Of all the salmon packed on the
pacific coast about 45 per cent is sold
and consumed In the United States,
40 per cent In Europe and 15 per cent
in the rest of the world. The English
people are the largest consumers In
proportion to population, and will ab
sorb about 1,300,000 cases every year.
All of the British Columbia catch
Is sold in London except about 150,
00 cases, which are consumed in
Canada. Between 400,000 and 600,
00 cases are shipped to London by
sea from San Francisco. The English
market demands the best quality. The
cheaper qualities are sent. to China,
Japan and India, about 100,000 oases
to each country under ordinary cir
cumstances; about 50,000 go to Aus
tralia, 50,000 to Africa and 50,000 to
South and Central America.
