C., assisted by H. z. Burkhart is busy with a crew of men today making a passage way for the salmon on the rocks at the falls on the netchikan creek to the spawning grounds abQYe. l. is matter of grave pan.ie concern, especially to she rsiing interests that on account of the low water in the creek that this year the fish have been unable to scale the falls and reach the spawn ing grounos above. Thousands of the splendid salmon are making despe- rate fight to climb the rapids only to 5esI themselves 10 death on the rocks or failing hack perish in the pools below. This not only means the de feat of their lie purpose for these noble creatures but also the loss of aSmheriess young fish to go out to sea later. and bence a disaster to the fisheries in the near future. So the men who are making way for the iish to reach the spawning grounds are rendering a valuable public ser vice.
