SHORT FISH
PACK THIS
SEASON
> ■ —
Although the salmon run is now
in full swing along Icey anti Chatham
c*~r*:*^ it is believed the Junasui dis
trict will not get a full pack fa**
the season- and the entire Alaska
pack may drop as low as seventy
per rent of pontnl on account o
failure of ^fthcr sections- particularly
the Bristol* bay section- where it
reporttal- only a fifty per cent pack
will be secured.
Th«* Port Althrope and Hoonah
Packing companies are leading in
the Juneau section. These two con*
corns are running a neck and neck
race hut both an* at least ten days
behind their records of last year.
This has been caused by the latrt
run of fish.
The Pacific American Fisheries
and Bell cannery in Icy straits
have about one-half the amount
packed of that of a year ago. Funter
bay appears to be more behind than
any other cannery in Chatham
straits. This has been partly cause!
by the robbery of their fish traps
and time taken by the tender in
protecting the set gear from rob
bery.
Both Tee Harbor and Auk bay are
not getting up a normal pack The
Libby. McNeil St Libby plant at
Taku Harbor is also behind last
year.
I^ast season Bristol bay packed
about 1.600-000 cases. This season
the pack may not be over S. >0-000.
The run was late in that section- and
reports indicate the run is late
all along the coast. It is predicted
the short run will he a heavy one
as the fish appear to be now com
ing in large numbers.
" . _ n.i_.1_
At Petersburg the PetersbU'j?
Packing company is behind >n the
pack* as well as the Sanborn Cuttinc
company at Kake. Bumbier bay ;s
makincr a prood showing but also falls
behind last year. These canneries
have out more jjear this season than
last.
The run a year apro started abou*
July in the Ketchikan district.
It is believed the run will not start
there this season until about the 27th.
This would compare with the late run
in all other sections, and indicate the
pack in that section will be correspon*
dinprly small.
Most of the packers now admit the
nack in Alaska may be the smallest
in years, but it is not discouraging
nor alarmintr as there will be a prood
market and most of the canners will
pret enough fish to cover their ordi
nary contracts. In most cases* tho

IDAHO INDIANS NOW
|H) TRADING DIRECT
WITH POST COMMANDER
POCATELLO- Idaho. July 20— Fort
Hall- within ten miles of Pocatello- is
the trading j»ost for three tril»es of In
dians— the Bannocks- Lomhis and
Shoshones. There are 2-800 of the
three tribes on the tract* which cm*
braces many thousands of acres, not
all cultivated. Some live along the bot
toms- in wickiups and modern tents,
and follows up the old system of the
“blanket” Indians. Others cultivate.
Every Saturday they appear at the
historic trailing post- where they are
given their allotment under the super
vision of Major H. H. Miller- superin
tendent of the post. In early days
Captain Bonneville stopped at the site
for several days- and Generals Custer
and Fremont went through this way.
Today a different condition exists
and while some of the older tribesmen
live in the primitive way- the major
portion furnish supplies along the
more active line, are active stockmen
and farmers- and some are wealthy.
One of the braves who died recently
left his heirs $50-000. He had resi
dence property close to Blaekfoot
owned farm land- and knew the de
tails of a hank account. He was a
Bannock Indian.
One of the “braves”- an educated
and prosperous farmer- drives one of
the highest-powered cars in Idaho- and
takes keen delight in clipping seventy
miles an hour off the state road that
was built through the sand of the res
ervation.
