roads leading into Warrenton, and all

Of the Lewis and Clary Is in better

main road 10 the bridge approach re-
quires very little repair, A few small
bridges have fallen to pieces or are de-
cayed through nonusage. These repairs
can be easily effected and the expense
attending same win be slight.
"The west side approach is ready for
travel" said Mr., Adalr, "and II only
remains for the draw to be fully placed
and the east approach built to bring the
bridge into general use. This can be ac-
complished In less than three weeks"
Colonel Adair has always been an ar
dent supporter of the proposed improve
ment and his friends consider 1t quite
appropriate that he should be the first

Commissioner Kershaw Gives an
Estimate Of Probable Out.
put Of Hatcheries.

\ According to Fish Commissioner Ker-
shaw. OF the state OF Washington. the
output Of the Washington hatcheries In
the Columbia river district for the pres
ent season win exceed 2o.000.0oO. A re-
quest for statement from Mr.. Ker-
shaw elected the following reply:
We have taken at the Kalama hatch
cry 6.l2s470 eggs and from the Wind
river hatchery 2,4so.oO0 eggs. At both
The Kalama and Wind river hatcheries
We had The misfortune. early in the sea-
son. TO lose our racks during the Sep
tember freshit. Had 1t not been for
this We would probably have taken over
20 100000 eggs in these hatcheries. At
Wenntchee. Methow and Chinook hatch
cries we are not through taking spawn
yet, but probably win take in the neigh
borhood OF 10000 900 In the three hatch
cries
'on account of the failure of the sock
eye run on the sound, which has caused
a great falling or In our license money,
we have closed down four hatcheries on
the sound and three hatcheries on the
columbia river. and in all instances
this year we are only securing eggs of
the best variety of fish, entirely disre-
sarding the humpback and dog salmon
spawn"
II Commissioner Kershaw's expecta-
tions are realized, the total output OF
hatchery salmon on the Columbia river
district will be close to 100000, The
Oregon state plants will turn out more
than s0,0O0O0o eggs, the government
plants will produce more than 100000
and the Washington hatcheries will
propagate more than 2O,00OO00. This
years output will be the largest in the
history of the artificial method Of prop
ogation.

ANOTHER CANNERY TO RUN
North Shore Plants Capacity IL
BE Increased.

The launch Triton went up the river
yesterday to secure the piling necessary
for the proposed extension of the north
shore cannery of the Columbia River
Packers Association. The cannery is
located at Hungry harbor and has not
been operated since the formation of
the association. During the winter
months extensive preparations will be
made there and the cannery will be
capable of handling $4,000 or $4,000 cases
Of salmon next season.
"The refitting Of this plant will en-
able us to care for our offerings Of fish
next season." said Samuel Elmore yes
terday, 1T Is remarkable, but never
theless true that the Chinese contrac-
tors apportion only about certain
number Of men to each plant, and we
will be in better shape with an ad-
ditlonal cannery so far as labor is con-
cerned. If we undertook to enlarge one
of our other plants to the capacity of
25,0O0 cases, we would be unable to Sc
cure the necessary Chinese laborers;
but we will probably experience no
difficulty In getting full crew for the
north shore plant. Just why the Chinese
contractors have adopted this apparent
policy of limiting each cannery to a
certain number of men is mystery
which I have never been able to satis-
factorily solve"
1t has been rumored for some time
that the association will enlarge its
cold-storage and freezing facilities for
next season, and Mr.. Elmore was ques-
toned about the matter.
"well, I guess we are not liable to I'M
crease our cold-storage capacity" he
said, with significant smile. TT is
possible, however, we may enlarge our
tlsh-freezing department. Plans have
been prepared with this idea in view,
but no decision has yet been reached"
