BREAKING RECORDS IN
SALMON EGG TAKING
Hope This Years Fish Run In
Puget Sound Will Increase.

Olympia, Wash.-All the salmon egg
taking records of this state were
smashed this year as the result of the
enormous number of eggs obtained
from the Columbia river and the Grays
harbor districts, according to State
Fish Commissioner l.. Fl. Darwin.
Unprecedented November storms and
high water We're handicups. but on the
Columbia river the state procured more
than 45,OOO.O0O salmon eggs. On Grays
harbor. where the Chehalis hatchery
last year took 22,591 900 eggs. there
have been procured this year to date
44,OO0.OOO eggs, and all are now in the
hatcheries. The three large salmon
hatcheries on Puget sound are busy
taking eggs, and 1t is expected the rec
ortis will he broken in this district. or
close to 5O.OOO.OW eggs procured.
1t Is expected that the haicheries this
winter will have l5O.OOO.OOO salmon
eggs to care for, and the number of
young fry will he the largest ever nur.
tured in the states history.
The entire product of the hatcheries
this winter will lc released in Puye,
sound next fall. BY 50 doing it is
hoped to increase the run of salmon
there In spite of the heavy increase o
salmon taken in recent years.

The Great Northern inaugurated a
new system on this division this week.
Heretofore engines have only been re-
quired to make the run from one di-

new schedule an engine going out of
the round house at Williston will run
through to Havre and vice versa, but
new engine and train crews will be
substituted at this point. Passenger
engines alone will continue to go in
the round house here. The object in
view is the saving of little labor and
consequent decrease in the pay roll.
Should the new method be successful
about dozen men will be thrown out
of employment at this place and in
the future the round house force will
consist of hostler and a boy, the lat
