| Notes | "The conditions on [coastal] ... streams this year were anything but favorable. Owing to the excessive dry weather and continued drought, the streams were all at a very low stage during the greater part of the fishing season; in fact, lower than for years past. This, in a measure, prevented the salmon from coming in, and in consequence the industry suffered, as did our hatchery work,.. While the total pack this year is practically the same as in 1907, it shows a falling off of 50 per cent on Chinooks. …We now have permanent hatcheries on the following streams: South Coos, Siuslaw, Yaquina, Umpqua and Trask. It is my desire to locate also on the Coquille, Alsea, Nehalem, Siletz and Nestucca." Statistics show fry liberated from hatcheries. |
