Pack.
The Association’s pack of salmon
for the season was as follows:
! Soekeye . 9,461 cases
Ked . 677,074 cases
King . 25,931 cases
i Coho . 20,939 cases
Pink . 240,427 cases
Chum . 50,208 cases
Total .1,024,040 cases
Salt Salmon .527 cases
.name is.
During 1915 the general markets
for canned salmon have been very ir
regular. The stupendous war has dis
arranged the trade, the transportation
and the finances of the world. Lack
of transportation facilities, almost
prohibitive freight and exchange
rates, together with the closing of the
Panama Canal, have seriously inter
fered with the prompt and economic
distribution of the pack. Contrary to
general impression none of the gov
ernments of the warring nations have
purchased canned salmon in large
quantities. Only to Australasia have
the salmon shipments been made
normally and in usual quantities.
Almost before the results of the
season’s operations were known,
prices of the lower grades of salmon
became badly demoralized. Goods of
I these qualities were sold regardless of
cost, a number of salmon concerns
have been forced into liquidation and
many others have lost heavily. Our
company has not reduced its opening
prices, and as a result of having
made early and large sea transporta
tions arrangements has been able to
distribute considerable of its output
at satisfactory prices.
The failure of the salmon runs at
several of our more important sta
tions has reduced the 1915 pack in
comparison with those of the previous
four years, and this, together with the
above mentioned disturbing elements,
have curtailed the profit on the year's
business.

tions. During 1915 from the 30,240,
000 red salmon eggs taken in 1914
at the Karluk Salmon Hatchery, 27,
704.000 fry were liberated and 41,
135.000 red salmon eggs were taken.
From the 22,500,000 red salmon eggs
taken at the Fortmann Salmon
Hatchery in 1914,^0,820,000 fry were
liberated and 26,520,000 red salmon
eggs were taken in 1915.
In Alaska the Government continu
ed operating large salmon hatcheries
on McDonald Lake and at Litnik,
Afognak Island.
Physical Condition of Plants and
Fleet.
The canneries, hatcheries, ship
yard and fleet of the Association have
all been kept in a very high class
condition, and more than fully equip
ped to meet all demands on them.
Each cannery has machine and gener
al repair shop ; every cannery dis
trict is provided with shipways to
