LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

HOOVER DECLARES
SALMON INCREASE
ALASKA AMAZING
i ALASKAN PACK 6,307,000 CASES
COMPARED WITH 4,500,000 IN
YEAR 1925
Secretary of Commerce Hoover,
commenting on a report on the large
increase of the Alaska salmon pack
of 1926 submitted to him by Henry
O’Malley, commissioner of the Bureau
of Fisheries, stated orally that the re
sults shown, especially in view of the
government’s conservation program,
were “amazing.”
Mr. O’Malley reported that the
Alaskan pack up to August 25 was
6,307,000 cases, which compares with
less than 4,500,000 during all of 1925
He asserted that he anticipated an
increase for the whole of this year
of nearly 50 per cent over the 1925
pack.
The Bureau of Fisheries issued the
full text of a statement from its Se
attle office regarding the 1926 salmon
pack as follows:
Gains Nearly 2,000,000 Cases
The tentative estimate is 6,307,000
cases, as against 4,459,937 cases for
the entire previous season. When
final figures for the fall pack this
year become available, it seems prob
able that the total Alaska pack in
1926 will be about 56 per cent larger
than that of last year, and will be
exceeded only slightly by the pack
of 1918, when 6,605,835 cases were
put up and which was the largest in
the history of the Alaska salmon in
dustry.
Going into certain details of the
preliminary figures to August 25, this
year, it is noted that Southeast
Alaska shows a total of 2,828,000
cases, as compared with 2,802,414 in
1925; Central Alaska, 2,069,000, as
against 1,052,593 in 1925; and West
ern Alaska 1,410,000, as compared
with 604,930 cases in 1925. Com
paring the packs by species, the fol
lowing results appear:
Approxi
mate pack
to Aug. 25, Entire pack
Cohos ... 139,000 161,010
Chums - 767,000 1,078,680
Pinks . 3,239,000 2,110,593
Kings .—. 45,000 49,978
Reds - 2,117,000 1,09,676
Total ...6,307,000 4,459,937
The foregoing shows the striking
increase in the packs of pinks and
*tds, each rtf which totals over 1,
000,000 cases more than in 1925. Most
of the increase in pinks occurred in
in Central Alaska, although Southeast
Alaska shows a very substantial gain.
All three general districts show an
increase in reds, but the chief ex
pansion this year was in Western
Alaska, where the pack of reds was
approximately 1,360,000 cases in 1926
as against 554,250 in 1925.
The notable increase in the pack,
even to August 25 of this year, is in
the face of futher restrictions upon
fishing by the department’s regula
tions, which have been deemed ne
cessary for conservation purposes in
certain places. It indicates the ef
fectiveness of such regulations, the
broadening in scope of which has
been possible under authority of the
new Alaska fisheries act of June 6,
1924.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
says the price of coal in the United
States has doubled in ten years.
