LET US REFLECT
One fish trap at Foggy Bay (near Ketchikan)
caught over 400,000 salmon this year. Through
this medium, about $10,000 will be left in Alaska.
If these same salmon had been caught by resident
seiners, the very least amount for expenditure in
Alaska would have been $40,000.
AS TO POPULATION
The trap employed two single men for two
months who will now drift back to Seattle.
The seiners would have comprised eight crews
at 50,000 fish each—far more than the average for
this year—totalling FORTY MEN and counting
their families, which makes a total of ONE HUN
DRED SOULS. Take your choice.
IN CANADA
Where traps are not allowed, a great many
hauls of 20,090 salmon are made—and even now
when King O’Malley has prohibited us from fish
ing, the Canadians are catching salmon—some
that have to pass through our waters, too.
