HOOD CANAL. Jan. /, 1901.
Hood Canal sendeth greeting TO the

you a happy new year and new century.

had Christmas tree at the church in the
evening.
Miss Bertha Latham and Chester Eells
return the first of this week to their schools
at Tacoma and Snohomish, after having
spent the holidays at their homes at River
side and the reservation.
The Hood Canal steamer service during
the holidays was the most unfortunate of
any time since the memory of the Oldest
inhabitant. it is thought. The Olympic on
the Saturday before Christmas left Seattle.
but lost her rudder, went back and OBJ
tanned another and started again, but lost
part OF It, She however managed to get
through, but twenty-four hours late. The
Lady OF the Lake went off on towing ex
petition Sunday, intending to be back to
Seattle Monday morning for her regular
run, but was delayed twenty-four hours
and SO lost that trip on Monday. Tues
Gay the Olympic was on the dry dock for
repairs and lost her trip. Wednesday the
Lady of the Lake came through to Union
City all right, but in starting to leave
backed into some logs7and broke her rud-
der, SO that she could not 60 back on that
day. Thursday the Olympic came up
and went back in good shape on Friday,
the first to 60 to Seattle since the previous
Sunday evening. But Friday the Lady
had not recovered from her mlsfortunes
and failed to make her appearance. Satur
day the Olympic started, but ran aground
at one place and had to wait about twelve
hours for the tide to float her, and so was
that much late. Consequently the travel
ing public of the Canal has felt very
cranky.
The report of the weather gives 1924
inches of rain, which is nearly two inches
more than the average for December, the
extremes having been 5.57 in 1894 and
go. 20 in 1897. The mean temperature
was 43.6 degrees which is four degrees
warmer than the average of eight years.
The highest temperature was 90 and the
lowest rs. There we're twenty days on
which rain fell, twenty-five cloudy ones,
four partly cloudy and five clear ones.
The rainfall for the year was oI.I2 in
ches, more than eleven above the average
for seven years 1t is the most that has
fallen during any of three years except in
1896, when "a. 81 fell. 1896 gave us the
least, 65.36. Sixteen and a quarter inches
of snow have fallen, none in any months
except February and November July
gave US the warmest day, $50, and No
vember the coolest, ID O. The average
temperature for the year has been $3.50
which is about half degree warmer than

The Skokomish Hatchery.

j. w. Blackwell, superintendent o.
the Skokomish Fish Hatchery, was II
town Monday and stated that the
plant has commenced to turn out 1T:
fall salmon, of which 1,565, 900 eggs
were secured. This number of fish is
somewhat beyond the capacity OF the
hatchery, after large proportion o
the eggs are changed into wriggling
/ minnows, and the large ones must be
turned out to make room. During the
fiscal year, beginning April 1st, this
hatchery has handled over thirteen
millions of eggs, of which 100000
| were steelheads. which were turned
out last August.
The Skokomish hatchery is the only
plant which has ever successfully
Matched the splendid stee1head, and at
the Falls of the Skokomish river,
where the Fishway is located, is the
only place on the Sound where steel
head eggs can be secured. The cycling
station at the falls was established
late in the season, and came near
proving a failure until the way of Sc
curing the fish was found, So that this
season it is expected to secure enough
eggs to fill the hatchery.
The Skokomish hatchery is credited
with being the only one out of the
thirteen owned by the state which can
be operated all the year round. With
the steelheads in the spring and the
several kinds of fall salmon, this hatch
cry has two Matching seasons, while
all the others have but one run of fish
and are idle half the year. Supt.
Blackwell has had several years of
experience in propogating and hand
ling fish, and has learned many things
about fish culture, which can only be
gained by long experience and close
observation. For the next two months
the fish can be seen, in all stages Of
growth, and it will be worth the while
of any of our readers to drive over to
the Skokonish and spend few hours
at the hatchery.
