mer is being reflected by an increas-
ed demand for automobile licenses.
Toward the end of spring a class Of
motorists who keep their cars in the

ment experiments with feeding hump
back salmon in salt, instead of fresh
water are proving so successful at
the station near Jacksons Cove on
Hood Canal that the young salmon,
fresh from the hatcheries, may be
held In salt water rearing ponds in
the future wherever such plan is
feasible An Alaska nexperiment at
Ketchikan showed the humpies grew
in six months time to eight inches in
length in salt water rearing ponds.
Ir fresh water at the end OF six
months they were mere "fingerlings."
Part of the 45,000,000 Alaska humpy
eggs which were take Mast year and
hatched during the winter at Puget
Sound plants are represented by the
young salmon in the Jackson Cove
pond. In little more than two
months time they seem to have reach
ed six-months' size of fresh water
