| Notes | "…Hatchery work on the minor Coast streams has a favorable outlook. Logging has hampered hatcheries on those streams in past seasons, but Mr. Van Dusen thinks he is finding ways to meet this difficulty. Logs by being rolled into streams to wait for a freshet to wash them down either choke the streams so that salmon cannot approach the hatchery racks or tear out an ordinary rack when the freshet comes. By making the racks strong and giving them a flat, smooth surface on the top, it is found that logs are carried over, by the higher water, without difficulty. Since this plan was followed on Yaquina River, three years ago, the take of salmon eggs has been increased from little or nothing to 6,000,000 and 8,000,000 eggs a year. The plan has been applied to Siuslaw River, and Coquille River will come next." |
