Salmon Species May Be Re

FISH CAUSE OF TROUBLE
For 15 Tears V. S. and Canadian
Governments Have Sought a
Conservation Treaty.
TACOMA, Wash.. Oct. 16 (Special.)
The efforts of the state of Wash
ington, through State Fish Commis
sioner Darwin, to propagate the
Puget sound sockeye have proved suc
cessful. The sockeye, which is of
Fraser river (Canada) origin, is the
greatest of all Puget sound salmon
runs and is the finest of known
species. Its depletion has been due in
a large measure to overfishing and
partly because of s slide in the Fraser
river in 1913.
For 15 years the governments of
the UnKed States and Canada have
been trying successfully to negotiate
a treaty providing for identical regu
lations to conserve the fish, and for
joint efforts at propagation to restore
them. At this time there is a treaty
waiting ratification by the American
senate and the Canadian parliament,
both bodies of which are trying to
remedy the situation.
Propagatloa Ia Difficult.
Propagation of the sockeye has
been a particularly hard task. They
(pass through American waters first
on their return to their spawning
.grounds, thus giving the American
fishermen tr first chance to capture
them. Naturally considerable conten
tion has arisen between the Cana
dian dominion and British Columbia
provincial governments and the fish
ing interests of Washington. The
Canadians assert they are hatching
;j'sh for Washington fishermen. The
failure of an" agreement has disgust-
d much hatchery DroDagation work
In Canada.
The sockeye differs from all other
salmon species in that it is the only
one that remains in fresh water until
the spring of the second year of it3
existence before seeking ealt wata.'.
While fishing experts have been able
to restore chinook salmon to the Co
lumbia river, through hatcheries, they
have not been ' able to meet with the
same success with the sockeye.
Experiment Is Tried.
The sockeye have heretofore en
tered only one American stream, viz:
the Skagit river. The United States
bureau of fisheries conducts a hatch
ery which takes the eggs of all the
sockeye which ascend the Skagit.
The state fishery department in
1916 made arrangement to ascertain
if the Fraser river sockeye could not
be successfully transplanted to Amer
ican streams and propagated in them.
As a result 1,287.000 eggs were ob
tained. These were hatched at the
state Samish hatchery. The resulting
fry were placed in Lake Samish. The
reason for the liberation or the fry
into a lake was that the sockeye will
not enter a stream to spawn whose
source is a lake.
As the sockeye is a four-year fish.
Commissioner Darwin attributes the
Increased run this year to the. Samish
hatrhery experlement. The great
value of this work lies In the demon
stration that the sockeye run can be
restored by artificial propagation.
Just the same as the other salmon
runs have been restored by the ob
servance of proper hatchery and cul
tural methods. .

UNIVERSITY OF" OREGON, Eugene,
Oct. 16. (Special.) That men earn
ing money to go through college do so
by working on all sorts of jobs, from
cleaning stovepipes to milking cows,
is disclosed by a perusal of the rec
ords of the employment bureau of the
Y. M. C. A.
There are enough jobs on hand to
keep the Job seekers busy, stated
James H. Price, student director of
the employment bureau. So far the
Y. M. C. A. has placed 26 men at per
manent work for their board, 8 men
on steady work for their rooms, and
has directed the part-time workers
to 486 hours of work.
Digging of ditches and other un
skilled labor on the campus whereby
from 10 to 30 students have earned
the sum of $5 for-eight hours' work
on Saturdays has been completed.
This work has raised the scale of
wages since the townspeople wanted
to pay only 60 cents, an hour for stu
dent help, but in competition had to
pay at least 60 cents.
One of the most unique jobs a cer
tain student has is that of boxing in
structor to a 7-year-old boy. This
lad is being sent to public school, and
.so his mother wants him to be pro
ficient in the art of self-defense.
Consequently, she hired a student to
teach her boy how to spar.
Another peculiar Job offered is for
a man to do housework. Records
show men do the following work
while going to school: Wash dishes.
wash windows, clean houses, wait on
tables, wax floors, P.ick apples,
shovel coal, sweep floors, mow lawns,
shingle houses, mix cement,, drive
busses, repair shoes, drive peanut
wagon and act as salesmen.
