INTER-MOUN-
TAIN FAIR


The Idaho Inter-Mountain Fair 10
be held at Boise October 1915 prom
ises to surpass any previously held,
5oth as to number OF exhibits and n
attendance. Last year the management
did away with bar and gambling
features and with pool selling ana
book making in connection with the
aces, thereby sustaining consld r
able loss in financial way, They
hope to see this loss overcome by
increased patronage and urgently in
vite every county of the State to be
represented this year.
The premium list shows most at
tractive offers, Live stock, A2ricul-
tural, Horticultural, Mining and In
dustrial exhibits forming the back
bone of the fair.
The Woman's Department will give
ample opportunity for displaying OF
products of culinary skill, Needle
and Fancy Work, Art and Children IS
Work.
A comfortable rest room will be
provided for the use of mothers and
their children during their stay at the
Fair and one of the attractions will
be the awarding of the different
prizes to babies entered in a contest.
Another feature, of special educa-
tional value, will be the Stock and
Poultry Judging Contest open tG az

age.
The Racing Program promises son
interesting sport, there being three
$2500 stakes and five $1,000 stakes
besides several smaller attractions.

to record SAat the aggregate output of the
hatcheries from 1872 to 1909 was about 20 bill
lion of which over 13 billion represents the
work of the past six years
In making his original plans for the sys-
tematic investigation of the waters of the Uni
ted States and the biological and physical
problems they present, Commissioners Baird in
sisted that to study only the fooGfshes would
be of little Importance, and that useful conclu-
sions must needs rest upon broad foundation
of Investigations purely scientific in character.
The life history of species of economic value
should be understood from beginning to end
but no less requisite is 1t to know the histories
of the animals and plants upon which they feed
or upon which their fod is nouriShed; the his
tory of their enemies and friends and the
friends and foes of their enemies and friends.
as well as the currents, temperatures, and other
physical phepomena of the waters in relation
to migration, reproduction and growth.
In pursuance of this policy the bureau has
secured the services of many prominent men of
science, and much of the progress in the arti-
fetal propagation of fishes in the investigation
of fishery problems and in the extension Of
knowledge Of our aquatic resources has been
due men eminent as biologists who have been
associated with the work temporarily. Their
services have been the services of specialists
for particular problems, and through them the
bureau has not only been able to give to the
public the practical results of applied science
but has contributed to pure science valuable
knowledge of all forms of aquatic life.
The Importance to the fishing interests of
the work of the bureau in connection with the
economic fisheries is widely appreciated and
freely acknowledged. The statistical inquiries
of the bureau afford the only adequate basis
for determining the condition and trend of the
fisheries and the results of legislation, protec-
ton, and cultivation. Among the numerous
special matters in which the bureau has bene
flied the fisheries the following may be men
toned:
BY bringing to the attention of American
fishermen new methods and new apparatus
new fisheries have sometimes been established
and new fields exploited.
BY the introduction of cod gill nets the win

nall billions Under arrangement with the
Canadian authorities, two egg-collection sta
tons for whitefish cisco, and lake trout are
maintained at points in Ontario.
While surveying new bank" on the coast
OF Alaska, the government steamer Albatross
in 20 minutes made the experimental catch of
cod and halibut shown in one of our illustra-
lions. AS result of explorations of the Al
batross on the Pacific coast, fisheries of great
Importance have been established there.
The hatcheries ON the rivers and lakes of
the Pacific coast are devoted almost exclu-
sively to the various salmons. In California,
where the bureau established a salmon hatch
cry as early as 1872 there Is one central or
main station, at Baird, on the McCloud river,
with important collecting stations two other
tributaries of the Sacramento. In Oregon a
central hatchery at Oregon City on the Will
lamette river, has three subhatcheries on trib-
utaries of the Columbia, in Oregon and Wash
ington, and three subhatcheries on tributaries
of the Rogue river, Oregon in addition to sew
eral egg-collecting station.
The interests of the large salmon fisheries
of the Puget Sound region are safeguarded by
hatchery Baker lake, the Skagit river
significant feature of artificial propagation
on the Pacific seaboard is that in the Columbia
basin the Matching of the acclimatized shad has
begun on a small scale, and In the Sacramento
basin the cultivation of the acclimatized striped
bass has commenced under conditions which in
dictate that more eggs of this species may be
obtained in California than in any of the states
to which the fish is native.
The hatcheries in the interior regions con-
stitute the most numerous class, and their
output reaches the largest number of people.
Their operations are addressed chiefly to the
so-called game" fishes, which, while caught
mostly by anglers nevertheless constitute an
important element of the food supply. At these
stations large numbers of fish reared to the
lingering or yearling sizes before being re-
leased; for this purpose more or less extensive
pond areas are required.
The fsh-cultural work of the federal govern
ment has now attained magnitude that can
not readily be comprehended, and is increas-
ing at an exceedingly rapid rate. Especially
marked has been the increase in the hatchery
product during the past ten years, owing in
part to the extension of operations at existing
stations, and in part to greater efficiency of
methods and appliances. The work during the
fiscal year 1909 reached larger proportions than
ever before, over three billion fish being pro-
duced and planted
While the bureau does not lay undue stress
mere numbers and considers the vitality
of the fish and the conditions under which they
are planted as of paramount Importance the
foregoing figures are certainly very suggestive
and as further statement of the magnitude of
the fsh-cultural work, it may be OF interest

ter cod fishery of New England was reyolu-
tionized. In a single season shortly after the
of such nets began few Cape Ann
(Gloucester) fishermen took by this means over
5000 900 pounds of large-sized fish, and as much
as $4,000 has sometimes been saved annually
in the single item Of bait.
By the dissemination Of information regard
ing new fishing grounds important fisheries
have been inaugurated. Thus when the abun-
dance of halibut off the coast of Iceland was
made known by the bureau, a fishery was be-
gun which yielded from $4,000 to 100000 an
nually to the New England fishermen
Owing to the appalling mortality among the
crews of the New England fishing vessels,
caused in large part by the laundering of YES
sells at sea, the bureau many years ago under
took the introduction into the offshore fisheries
of type of craft which would combine large
carrying capacity and great sped with en-
HANGED safety. BY correspondence, discussion
in the daily press, personal interviews, ex-
hibtion of models and finally by the actual con-
struction of a full-sized schooner (the Gram
pus) with the requisite qualities, the bureau
was enabled to inaugurate momentous change
In the architecture of fishing vessels; so that
for long time the New England schooners
have been constructed on the new lines, with
q consequent minimizing of disasters and de-
cided increase in efficiency.
In other fisheries and regions the bureau
has likewise advocated improved types of YES
sells and boats especially adapted to local con-
ditions, and has published plans and specifica-
lions embodying the results of studies of the
fishing fotilla OF the world.
The results of the bureaus efforts in this
line in saving life and property, in increasing
the usefulness of the vessels, and in improving
the quality of the catch as landed, cannot be
estimated but the beneficial effects may be
partly appreciated when it is stated that during
the ten years ending in 1883, when the old
types of vessels were in use, there were lost
by laundering from the port Of Gloucester
alone so vessels. valued at more than 100000,
with their crews of 895 men, while during the
ten wears ending in 1907, the losses from this
cause aggregated only a fourth as many YES
sells and men.
