t - THE SUNDAY OKEGOMAX. PORTLAND. AUGUST 8. 1909. 6 SALMON RUN TOO HEAVY TO HANDLE Bellingham Canners Forced to Ship by Trainload to Out side Factories. ALL PAST RECORDS BROKEN Sunday Closed Season Will Give Chance to Empty Traps and to Let Fleh Ascend Rivers to Spawning Gronnds. - BELLING HAM. Aiif 7. From noon Yiday until midnight last night. when ihe weekly close, season commenced, 1.739.000 soekeye salmon were taken from traps and by seiners and landed at the canneries of Bellingham. Blaine, Anacortes and the lower Fraser. Rec ords of all previous catches have been broken, and salmon to the value of more than half a million dollars are being packed by the canneries of Puget Sound. Gulf of Georgia and Low er Fraser River. At midnight last night the traps lifted or closed to give the fish an op portunity to proceed to the spawning grounds on the Fraser River. On the American side of the line the closed season lapts until t P. M. Sunday. On the Fraser side It lasts until after mid night Monday morning. If the closed season had not fallen Just when it did traps would have had to be cut to liberate hundreds of thousands of salmon, as every cannery is swamped and operators are In des pair of handling the catch, though the plants are run 24 hours dally. Last nl?ht s catch will not be all packed be-' fore Monday morning, and by that time more fish will be arriving from the traps. While the closed season gives the fish a breathing spell. It does not help the cannery workers who are dropping from fatigue at the machines, and suf ficient kelp cannot be secured to keep the lines fully supplied with fish and take away the filled tins throughout the whole 24 hours. For the first time In the history of the Industry, fish are being shipped to distant canneries to be packed. Ar rangements have been made to send many carloads to the canneries on the Columbia, and already a tiainload has been dispatched to the canneries on Grays Harbor. Purse seiners and glll netters at Blaine and Point Roberts may be compelled to sell their catch to the upper Fraser canners on the Canadian side, though but 10 cents slon of the University of Oregon Bummer school, which closed yesterday, was the most successful of any yet held a' Eugene.

The students also were more representative, coming from near ly all parts ot the state and Including in addition to regular and prospective university students, many high school and upper grade principals and teachers.

Mazamas to -Mount Baker Is the es tablishment of the northern limit of growth of the "noble fir" tree- M. TV. Gorman, the president of and official botanist with the Mazamas. bears a commission from Dr. C. S. Sargent, di rector of the Arnold Arboretum, at Jamaica Plains, Mass., connected with Harvard University, to determine If the tree grows in the vicinity of Mount Baker. When the Mazamas were hers three years ago, Gorman mads an effort then the find the growth on the northeast slope of the mountain, but all his ef forts were unavailing. Since that time he has heard reports, the same having reacnea Harvard University, that the "noble fir" does grow on the south ern slope of the big mountain. The "noble fir" has been found In Clark County, Washington, and In the past this has been the most northern point on the North American contl- j nent where It has been known to grow. ma tree is Dy no means rare, but bot anists consider It of great importance to know the radius of Its growth. In appearance it is practically the same as the ordinary fir of this country, save that the cones stand upright from the branches Instead of being pendant. Gorman, three years ago, established beyond a doubt that Mount Baker is the dividing line for vegetation between Alaska and the southern country. The plants, shrubs and trees gathered in the valleys around the Mazama camp far up Wells Creek in 1906 were of a mixed variety, some of them tending to the Alaska classes, and others to the species of growth found to the south.
