In an interview with the lorn!
cannerymen we learn that the supply
of salmon has taken a decided slumr
in this vicinity. Owing to the recent
heavy rains they have gore up the
streams in great numbers and duuring
the past week they' have fell far short
of their expectations. W'liile the
supply begins to get short about this
season of the year, it was hardly ex
pected that it would take such a sud
den drop. Recent information frns*.
the Sound stated that the salmon run
in that vicinity had been far short
of what was expected. Ress than one
week ago information was received
that the entire pack for the season
had been only 125 thousand cases, of
pink salmon, about half what it
should have been. The canneries on
the Sound very seldom get the benefit
of the nmin run of fish before the
15 of August but in view of the fact
that their pack less than one week a
go was about half that, of other years
it is good evidence that their pack
this season will be extremely short.

The Cordova railroad has been clos
ed down until the repairs to the road
bed and bridges can be made. The

road is in operation again_Ex.
