If It were anything more than that, Prince Rupert would have reason to feel uneasy. About 6.000 cases of canned salmon were shipped to Vancouver last week aboard the Union steamship Catala which loaded the cargo at the elevator dock. The salmon, owned by NeLeon Bros, was labelled here by Wells i P R i Ltd. It was the last large shipment of Skeen River salmon to be sent south. About 50 percent of the tagoi placed on salmon in the Ket-1 chikan district during the past summer have been recovered, according to Dr. w. F. Thompson, director of the Fisheries Research Institute.
