to the stream on an approach from the
opposite direction. The incoming SAL
mon followed along the beach on which
the trap was set, not laying a, course
as boatman would to get by it. They
were as effectually prevented from en-
teTlng the stream as if the trap had
been built straight out from one shore
to the other.
The abuses of the trap system are
varied. In many instances, when there
are enough fish on hand to run the can
merry for the time being, the traps are
still left open, and the salmon crowd
into them and are left there to rot. This
is done to prevent the fish from getting
into the traps Of competitors farther up
stream.
The law also requires that every tirr11
taking fish from the streams must take
up the propagation of salmon and put
back into the water ten minnows for
every matured fish they catch. In COM
pliance with this act one firm this year
released 50,000,000 fry. There is no way
of telling what becomes of these small
fish, They have many enemies that lie
in wait for them, and it is doubtful if
one out of every ten of them lives to
reach salt water, or to return at matur-
ity to its Birthplace Seattle Correspon-
dence of Boston Herald.

are inspected and placed in elevated
boxes with Slated bottoms and left TO
drain.
The next step in the process is ac-
complished by placing the fish in pock-
cts on a revolving drum, which carries
them around to series of rapidly-moy-
ing circular knives that divide the meat
into choice cuts, just the size required
to fill the cans then being used"
There are nine sets of these revolving
knives across the cannery and it is re-
markable to see them all running at
once, some cutting for one-sized can
and some another. After the cutting
$50 tidy young women pack the meat in
the tins. Following number of minor
processes, to insure perfect cleanliness,
the cans are steamed for twenty-five
minutes and afterwards submitted to a
heat of 240 degrees Fahrenheit for an
hour, which thoroughly cooks the meat
and the hone.
The two great industries of the north
west are fishing and numbering, and
they are similar in the one respect that
fearful waste is practiced in both.
Sometimes the traps fill up faster than
the Gamers can dispose of the fish,
and when this happens dreadful loss
ensues. -
While I was preparing this article the
following dispatch from Astoria, Ark,
was published:
During the past few days the run of
salmon has been SO heavy as to compel
the packers to decline to receive further
catchs, and as result the beach for a
distance of two miles is piled high with
dead fish, dumped there by the boat
load. Hundreds of tons of valuable food
have been lost in this way, and the city
council has had to take steps to have
the putrid mass removed. Great bon
zres will be lighted and the decaylng
fish destroyed by. fire.
All of these flesh were destroyed as
thew entered the Columbia river.
Among them were thousands of mature
females hurrying to the spawning
grounds to deposit their eggs. Every
one intercepted meant the lessening of
the progeny by many thousands Con-
sidering the wholesale manner in which
these valuable fish are taken before
they can accomplish their habits of re-
production, it seems almost marvellous
that the species has thus far escaped
total humiliation. The law has been
formed to protect them, but their de-
struction continues in the most ruthless
manner.
Howard M. Kutchin, special govern
ment agent, tells this instance Of traT
so arranged that it obeyed the letter OF
the law, while in reality 1t violated and
defeated the spirit of the same.a The
law says that Instructions must not be
placed in the mouths of streams. To
avoid this the trap was sea pust outside
the mouth and built diagonally outward
from shore until 1t became practically q
fence although IL left q wide entrance
