McReavy's Fish Ladder.

LAKE CUSHMAN, WASH, March 49,
An appropriation of $500 has been Sc
cured by Senator McReavy, of Mason,
for the construction of a fish ladder on
the Skokomish, about three miles be-
low Lake Cushman. This will allow
the rainbow trout, which swarm in the
river below the falls to get into the
lake and the river above, and will
open to them and the salmon the great
spawning beds in the upper river
Thousands of salmon ascend the
Skokomish every year, which get no
farther than the falls and die there,
unable to deposit their spawn in a
suitable place for it to mature. The
establishment of hatchery On the
lake or the river is all that is now
needed to keep up the supply of salmon
which each season is furnished by
Hood canal to the canneries at Port
Angeles and Seattle. The magnitude
of the business and the Importance of
keeping up the supply of fish, which
furnishes the means of subsistence for
thousands living on the shores of the
canal can hardly be overestimated,
and the appropriation of $500 to build
this fish ladder is but the first step to-
wards the accomplishment of a great
need and Senator McReavy deserves
the thanks of every resident of the
Hood canal country.-P-I.
