The tests have gotten under way
at giant Bonneville Dam.
For uncounted centuries salmon
have been ascending the Columbia
River once a year to lay their eggs.
In the upper reaches Of the stream
the tiny salmon hatch and grow
into fingerlings. Then they de-
scend to the ocean and q goodly
number are eventually caught and
find their way to Americas dinner
tables. .--.
Salmon leap up cataracts in their
annual migration. but they can't
hurdle Bonneville Dam. Conse-
Quently the Government designed
'hsh ladders" - great, curving
aqueducts connecting the upper
level Of the dam with the stream
below. The ducts are 40 feet wide
and the ascent Is made by means
Of q series Of little waterfalls, each
l foot high.

the salmon run has started.
I'VE anticipate no difficulty what

Colby M. Myers. acting district en-
gineer at the dam. "A portion of
the fishway system has been in
operation since the middle Of Feb
ruary.
The fish that have appeared
have passed with no difnculty and
no evident delay in finding the
hshway entrances"
In case the ladders should not
work for some Of the more timid
salmon, the dam also has q system
OF nsh elevators. They work much
like the locks at the Panama Ca

The fish swim into water at the
bottom Of q shaft and when there
are enough passengers: a gate
closes behind them. Water then
flows into the shaft until it reaches
the level Of the water behind the
dam. when a gate is opened and
the fish are supposed to swim out.
And they do. A rising wooden
