THE ALASKA SALMON AND THEIR PRACTICAL
 PROPOGATION
By \. J. Sprague.

I am writing this little book, dear reader, for the benefit of the Alaska Fishermen, for we are III interested, from the big canneryman to the little gunny- sack fisherman of the spawning streams. I want a little heart to heart talk with all the thou sands of Alaska fishermen.
 We all live in Alaska and de- sire to continue our residence here. The fish business is the largest industry in Alaska, and we, as fishermen, must see that lit is taken Care of and that the industry is not destroyed thru greed or lack of intelligent pre- >ervation 2rd propagation. This is no one mans job Everyone rust do his part, and that means all of us.
 We all know there is some
 thing wrong when we have spasmodic runs of salmon in diff
 terent districts of our inland waters. On off years we always pat ourselves on the back and i say, "Oh, yes, next year is the big cycle year" And when the fish do not come, we explain it away in one breath by making i q goat of the bear, seagulls, fish ducks, all species of trout and other fish; eating all the salmon eggs or to storms or lower water stream conditions, It would be good policy for us to be hon. est with ourselves. We all know that for centuries, nature has provided for all this loss, and she has fixed immutable and iron laws. For, to start with, she has given the power to any one species to destroy without placing a limit to destruction.
 Cranky, I don't believe that there are any more seagulls to- day than there were twenty years ago). When any living creatures become too plentiful, nature has her own way to de- Stroy and annihilate them. Just leave it to her. She will establish that balance or eQui- librium necessary. Her iron laws hold from the minutest form of life to man himself
 Now, just a word about the trout's devouring all the salmon

FISH HATCHERIES

In March, 1921, a m all pamphlet was issued by A. J sprague, ex-Superintendent of Territorial Hatcheries in Alaska, entitled The Alaska Salmon and their Propagation" It is HOW out of print and since we nave received many requests for a copy of this little book, we are printing it in sections from time to time as space will per init.
The Alaskan., 1929-02-08

Ieggs. Possibly it has never oc- cured to one person in a hun dred that the young salmon, during his stay in fresh water, before going to his future home in the seas, eat the eggs and young of the trout during their spawning season.
 For nature intended this to be so, in order that the trout may, not get too plentiful. On the other hand, she has given to one female salmon three thousand eggs. Why? So that a few may reach maturity, and The balance feed her other crea- lures.
 Comes now, MT. Self1shman, and upsets and destroys all of : this balance. He would take all ! and put back nothing Now make no mistake in this matter, for nature does not intend to stand for any of that kind of stuff. We are only fooling our selves. It is like the farmer |that takes the crops off his land and in turn has to fertilize it, and put in another one. And, Mir. Fisherman, that is just what we have got to do with the sea. We have got to put something back, and at least allow a cer- tain per cent of a yearly run If salmon up to their spawning grounds to seed the beds for the l future generation. If we don't we may just as we'll grab our blankets and say, ITO the Pio- neers' Home at Sitka for us,' or, "Where do we go from 1 here?" We can't get in on the Siberian fisheries for the JapS and the Reds have beat us to it They got there first, and any how, just at the present time we don't know who to make ar engagements with yet.
 Now let's call a spade a spade ' a spade in this fish business All of you fellows know how tc get the fish, by all the clever { devices set by the ingenuity o1 man, from the modern floating trap to the gunnysack fisher man of the streams, and why Lot all of us help a little bit on 1he propagation end of the business? Honest now, don't get sore, and lose two weeks sleep because 3 few salmon get by your nets and racks during the night of high water and es- capped up stream to seed their spawning beds for future pre- servation of the species. Let's look into the propagation end of this most important fish ques-
