FISH THAT

ITHoUGH it may be hard TO
"A teach an old dog new tricks,
it's easy. apparently. to teach
them to that sporty fish, the sal.
mon. For. as is pointed out by
Robert Bradon in an article in
this weeks Liberty, engineers are
striving TO devise a plan by which
salmon can be trained to climb
fish ladders 80 feet high in their
annual migrations up Pacific
coastal rivers to their spawning
grounds.
Unless this can be done, the
writer explains. 1t is feared that
the dams erected in the rivers
for hydro.electric plants will pre-.
vent these spawning migrations
and eventually kill off most of
the salmon.
Already" the writer points
out, 'the Pacific salmon have
been trained to climb AZ feet. The
highest fish-ladder in the North
west is that high. and it is in the
Willamette River at Oregon City
Fails. The magnificent fish used
to climb those falls without aid
from man, but when a paper
company built its plant and
diverted the flow the water
became too shallow for the fish
to make the climb, SO artificial
steps were blasted in the falls to
enable the fish to ascend them by
easy stages. A salmon can climb
straight up falling water to a
height of IA feet"

breath came kissing through
clenched broken teeth. His whole
appearance bespoke the fighter al
the end Of his rope.
Arson, badly mauled, with a rib
or two broken, bleeding from nose
and mouth, his shirt hanging in
tatters from his heavily-muscled
shoulders, was in scarcely better
plight. In a last desperate effort
to end the encounter, he made a
fierce rush for the other.
Smith met him with a swinging
fist, and silhouetted against the
white sheen of a breaking sea,
Campbell saw that he held a be-
laying pin in it. With a quick
duck of his head, he lodged the
blow and Il came down on his
shoulder with a understanding
thud. He lost all control of him
self then. snarled wolfishly, and
leaped back TO grope among the
cotled ropes for a similar weapon.
The captain and steward came
upon them waging a terrific duel
with the wooden club-like pins.
There was no science to their
MISUNDERSTANDING but the dia-
bolical desire to beat each other
to a lifeless pulp. Along the rail
they rushed or retreated, smash
ing recklessly - their rasping
breathings, their throaty growl-
ings mingled with the thud Of
blows on flesh and the clashing
as pin struck pin. The sight ap.
palled the captain.
For Gods sake he began,
then added commandingly: stand
clear, you Campbell, and I'll let
him have it-v'
Disarmed
'No, no, don't shoot! howled
Arson without turning his head.
i've got him-where 1 want him
-now!" And as he spoke, he
brought his weapon down with a
bone-smashing crack across his
adversary's knuckles, and the
clatter which followed told him
that Smith was disarmed.
The eX-second mate lost his
nerve then, made an Intellectual
attempt to whip another pin out
of the rail. and failing to grasp
one with his broken fingers. ran
away and made a mad spring into
the lee main-rigging. Up the rat.
