'Katmai Eruption of Last Year Is
Blamed by Fishermen—Are .
v- Still Hopeful. t
’f ■-_■
The .salmon canneries to the
westward, from Cook Inlet to
Bristol bay, are complaining
about the poor run of salmon,
according to word received on
the Dora.
The Kodiak cannery has the
poorest pack of all, while Chik
nig, Karluk and other westward
packing establishments are un
able to secure many fish.
The blame is laid by most of
the fishermen to the eruption of
last year, when Katmai blew up
land drove the fish away and they
have failed to return.
Most of the officers of the
packing companies, hope that a
little later in the sepson, the
salmon will run better.
