WILY JAPANESE ENGAGE IN SALMON INDUSTRY

VANCOUVER, B.C., Monday, July 21. -- That the Japanese, after having for many years bought practically all their canned salmon from Seattle and Vancouver, have recently commenced the industry themselves and are producing at a price that will be a great factor for the Pacific Coast to deal with a few years hence, is reported from an interesting itemized report published in the weekly bulletin of the government's trade and commerce department today.

The British consul at Hakodate has drawn the attention of the British Board of Trade to the beginning of the industry and it is said that Japanese who have worked in Washington State canneries have made machines and superintended operations through their experience in Pacific Coast canneries.
