HUMPBACKS COST SB
CENTS APIECE NOW
BELLINGHAM, With., Sept. 6.—
Although there has been a marked
Increase during the past week in the
number of humpback salmon taken
at the salmon banks and In the traps
of Puget Sound, prices have soared
to an unprecedented height. The run
of “humpies" is hy no means as large
as it was four years ago, but prom
ises to be a life saver for many of
the canners and trapmen, even tho
the price last wpek ranged from 20
to 30 cents, with an average of 25
J cents for each fish sold. Usually
humpbacks can be bought for 5 cents
| each.
Most of the smaller canneries are
! being run almost to normal capacity
| as a result of the rtin of humpbacks.
I although the larger plants are not
getting nearly enough fish to keep
! them busy. Just how long the run
will continue cannot be forecast, and
that is the question which will de
cide whether the canners will break
even or lose money.
With humpbacks at a record price,
sockeyes continue to climb in the
same ratio. Last week they were be
ing sold for 75 cents apiece in the
straits. The proportion of sockeyes
was about one-fourth of the entire
take, the remainder being mostly
humpbacks, with a few springs and
fewer silvers. The run of silver sal
mon is expected to start in about two
weeks, but canners are holding out
little hope that it will tend much to
' improve the situation. The appear
ance of the humpbacks is taken to
mean that the sockeye run—small as
it was—is over.
Although the price of live fish is
exceptionally high, the Sound pack
ers hope to break even and make a
small profit. The prices of canned fish
this fall will be higher than ever be
fore.

SIXTY THOUSAND ARE
HOMELESS IN SALON1KI
—
LONDON, Sept. 6.—The first de
tails ofthe disastrous fire at Saioniki
last Sunday is contained in a Reuter
dispatch from that city which says
60,000 persons are homeless and that
the property loss is enormous. Insur
ance companies are interested to the
extent of 2,000,000 to 3,000,000
pounds.
The military rendered all possible
aid but the scarcity of water made it
almost hopeless to attempt to subdue
the flames. Refugees are camping on
the outskirts of the town. The desti
tute are being cared for by the en
tente military authorities, the Brit
ish having 30,000 in their charge.
Food and fresh water are very scarse.
The whole sea front from the cus
toms house to the famous White Tow
er, with its fine buildings, including
the famous church of St. Dimitri and
several other churches and mosques,
was destroyed. Three enemy planes
flew over the city and dropped bombs
while the fire was burning.
