Apply iaZS..-ttSi, SliiOBE, SANBOSN & CO. STATEMENTS A2JD SUGGESTIONS Eeport of the State Pish Commission. The Oregon fish commissioners MessraF. C. Reed, R. C. Camp bell and E. P. Thompson have completed their second annual re port, and submitted it to Uov. rminoyer. I he principal points of interest in the report will be embodied in Gov. Penmiyer's bi ennial message to ttie state legis lature. From a copy of the com missioners' report the following extracts are taken: "The past season has been a fair ly successful one on the Columbia river, both to fishermen aud pack- ters.' The price of fresh salmon wa3 somewhat higher than in for mer 'years, but the market for canned salmon was also better, and, -under these circumstances, twenty-nine of the forty canneries on the river started up during the first part of April and continued to run until the first of August, when all closed in accordance with the law. Each year since the sup ply of salmon began to decrease Itnere has been a variance between the fishermen and packers in re gard to fixing the price to be paid for salmon on the rivers. W hue this is beyond the control of the commission, or even the state, we believe if the latter will make suf ficient appropriation each ear for the support of a few hatching sta tions, that the supply of salmon can thereby be increased to such an extent tbat fishermen can make better wages at lower prices, aud so the cost to the consumers of this valuable food can be greatly reduced. To bear us out in this we will compare the prices i paid to fishermen and receivod-by; packers during the seasons of .1879 and 1880, with the prices received by each during the past season' of 1S8K. In 1879 and 1880 the fish ermen received 50 cents and (50 cents each for salmon aud all of them made good wages. The packers received from $4.25 to f4'.75 per case, and at these figures made a fair profit on the invest ment. During the past season fisher men received fcl and &1.25 each for salmon, add at these extremely high prices received very poor compensation for their labor. Thu packers received from 6.5 to $6.80 per case, and at these fabu lous prices did not make 4 per cent, per annum on tht-ir invest ments The difference in cost be tween 1870 and 1880 and 1888 is increased more than 4 cent per pound; thir, on an average pack of 400,000 Cdej. amounts to the enormous sum of 8768,000 to the consumers, while neither fishermen nor packets are benefited by it. There are serious difficulties to contend with in enforcing the present lawbut the greater part of the packers and fishermen are fully aware of the fact that the salmon industry of the state needs protection, and have observed the law very well tho past season. The few that were disposed to vi olate the law were watched as closely as they could veil be, c n sidering the large- field on which they have to operate and our lim ited means nf dealing with them. We had the sheriffs of the differ ent counties along the rivers ap point deputies to look after 'and arrest all violators; we also hired steamers and.patroled the river ourselves several Saturday nights during the season, and made one or two trips a month up the river, besides going whenever and wher ever we could hear a word of com plaint about the law being violated. We give the officers of Washing ton territory due credit for the able manner in which they assisted in this matter. The commissioners then give in detail the number of instances when the law had been violated, and the penalties imposed in cases where tho guilt of the parties were establishoaT As mentioned-in our last report, Washington territory in 1881 re pealed mat part of her law making September a close month, so that as the statutes now stand, it is lawful to fish for salmon in Wash ington territory during the month ot September,- and-'Unlawtul jm Oregon. This makes it difficult to enforce thit p'arV of the law; yet we- succeeded m dof mg so this season lar net tej-"tna,n. w6 anticf - pated, tbennlv prcp w'e an ar- Iit'jS. ,! .; r t;l rt WM maae being at Coluo. rz. In our last report und-r this A L ndnn author his written topic, we atated that the wording thirty n vels in thre years. This of the present law was insufficient heals -the rerori of any -living to make it operative in. all its min, but the writer's enormous parts, and at the proper time we labor has brought him only $l$0d. would recommend some changes.

Uliu Uiau auKC3b lUUICI UllCa5il V and protection legislation. The iaw sas "it sbaMI be un lawful to take or fiah for salmon," etc., but in the clause creating the petialu, it omits a part of the above, and makes a person liable to a fine for catching salmon only at times forbidden by law. The law does not prohibit per sons from having salmon in their possession during the close times; consequently any ono can possess salmon on Sundays, or during the close months of March, August and. September, aud all that is necessary for them to do is to swear that they were not caught during the close time. The law does not prohibit the common carriers in the state from receiving and transporting fresh salmon durinsr the close tunes; if it did so the law could be more easily enforced. Again, the difierent kinds ot hsh commonly called salmon are not named. No one seems to know if a steelhead, blueback or silverside is a salmon under the law or not. A person may catch any of these varieties during the close .times and claim they are not salmon. The courts then must decide if they are or not, and somebody must pay the costs, which is usu ally no small item in. such ca-es. It seems to be the general im pression that the fine of 6500 or one year uu jail ,iu tfie present law is excessive. - That portion of the present law regulating the s ze, of lrieshes. tor gill-nets and seni-,anl the diitanci s apart for slats nn vvejrs or fish traps, was evidently Traitud io protect the small fish. It U th gent ral belief that all, or nearlv all, (if. the salmon, both larjie ami small, which ffO up the river ,il ueir their spawning ground-. Hoivevvi, it may bu welt to pm teot the -m .ll ones, as they are of no comtueroi.il value; but this could be done as well, or beuerv bv statina- the minimum si.e ot - each variety to be taken, and al' under this sie to bo returnc! to water alive, with a severe penaltv for killing. . nCCOMMKXDATIOXfc. The section of the present law fm bidding the throwing of saw dust into the Columbia river or its tnbutaiies is almost use ess as n now stands, as it oiilv takes effect below the cascades of the Colum bia and the tails of the Willamette, making it local in its character, and by some considered unconsti tutional. To remedy this we would rec ommend that the law bo made seneral throughout the state, and j sawdust dumped on land liable to oveiflow during high water per iod, must be secureu in such a manner as to prevent Us washing into the river. Many salmon are taken from the streams of this state and sen! to our markets or canneries alter their bright silver sides have turned to a dull gray or aim. st black, and their red flVsh has be come nearly white, as alvvavs oc curs when they near their spawn ing time. This is a pernicious practice, as the salmon is really as unfit for food when it reaches that stage, as any food'aniraal when it reaches its parturient state. To Temedy this we recommend pro- moiling inecaicuingoi any vaneijr of salmon from or near their known spawning giounds for anv purpose whatever, except for arti ficial propagation. While we are making sugires tions as to laws that should be parsed to preveift the royal salmon from being caught and exterminated from our rivers hy the devices of raan,- let us not forget that thm have other m trial enemies all along o"u"f coasts andin alj our rivers. The first perhaps great est of these are the seals and sea lions. Thev begin to prey upon the salmon in tho ocean and follow them inio and up all our streams 'Hundreds of seals can b" seen in the month of July at the dallelSjoC"- tr,SIrIi',-tiSf,hUlt,it",h'ilrt j-the Columin river, a distaucd jjf - 200 miles from its mouth fbeen estimated afier careful obser. mouta.
