NORTHERN AND CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA'S NEWSPAPER PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1030 TREATY SHOULD jBIG PACK IN j KETCHIKAN Canned Salmon Production There This Season Exceeds 1929 By Vf. . 100,000 Cases Operations Close Cannery and Trap Operators In High Spirits as Season's Op- erations Conclude j KETCHIKAN, Alaska. August 20: A fish pack of 437,300 cases for this seaso nls forecast by cannery superintendents operating plants in Ketchikan. This is approximately 100,000 cases more than was packed by the same plants last year. ! The salmon fishing season was formally closed in the Ketchikan zone lost Saturday night. This area ' embraces all the locations from Cape Fax to the north end of Ora-, vina Island and Behm Canal.

A high spirit over the season's at tainment is mantfstt by cannery- men and trap operators at Ketchikan as the operations draw to a close. The past season started off badly, but daily gained momentum until a final check reveals that the .1 showing of fish throughout t Is, reason for optimism in ig the future possibilities of the !mon packing Industry in Alaska. TriM. some of the Independent tnipmen have not fared well. However, they look only to the future and the possibility of better luck next year. The fact that the season shows an increase of nearly 100.000 cases over the previous year does not tell the whole story. There has been at least 30 more fish caught in the local area this year Uian last. This is clearly shown by the number of fish required to the case over the 1010 season. During the past years the general average was about 12.4 while this season the average Is Well over 18. Without doubt the trap locations to ttie south of Ketchikan have been the big producers of the present season. Traps in the area from the International boundary' to Lucky Oove have produced about 76 of the fish received by the Ketchikan packers. APPOINTED TO LIQUOR BOARD W. J.
