AN APOLO-viV io MR. DIXON
Editor Leader: Kindly allow
me space to set myself aright
with uiy life-long friend, Dixon.
m Mr. Dixon, in his able reply
In your Issue of the 15th, to my
little piece relative to the great
salmon industry on Yaquina bay
Intimates that I have been mis
informed as to tha work done at
this hatchery. I want to be
right; don't want to say or do a
thing that will hurt a friend fi
nancially or otherwise, so will
Friend Dixon please answer me
the following:
Did the large force of men, be
ing five or six, while experiment
ing with the so-called hatchery
close the river when forced to
6top them to get eggs, then force
them into the fep where they
were sorted, dipping out the fe
males, then opening the small
gate so the males could go up
the river to view the natural
spawning grounds? Were they
allowed tlii3 great privilege of
visiting the birthplace of tliem
selves and ancestoia through
mercy or otherwise?
Did this large force of men put
In racks at bridge Twenty-one,
also near the mouth of Thorn
ton creek, both on Yaquina river,
thus keeping the salmon from
going to their spawning grounds
on Yaquina and Little Elk riv
ers? If so, why was it done?
I have been told this but want
to be right. Was the Elk salmon
hatchery abandoned by a peti
tion of all the fishermen on Ya
quina river and bay? I h?ve
been so told. The trout industry
being almost an experiment (a
good word,) is it a fact the river
has been closed during the en
tire run of salmon this year, and
not a single salmon has got un
Big Elk this season, but instead
during the season the salmon
have been caught at the experi
ment station, ripped open to se
cure the eggs to feed said trout,
and at this time the salmon are
held In large numbers in the
river below the obstruction.
You and I are old scttlers-r-ia it
not a fact that prior to this
hatchery Yaquina was full of
salmon each year, that formerly
we had two canneries running
on Yaquina bay, besides Billy
Toner was shipping tons of fresh
fish? It is estimated that there
was 100 fish boats in use, em
ploying 200 men, which is a
' great many more than 5 or' 6.
If the experiment has nothing
to do with us having practically
no salmon, how do you account
for it? Please explain. No dearth
of salmon on Alsea to our south
or Siletz to the north. Two can
neries run this year and all fish
ermen did well on each of these
streams, and the females are al
lowed to accompany the males
to the natural spawning; ground.
I have not heard any complaint
of scarcity of trout in either of
said streams. Who does Marsh
Simpson blame for the great
scarcity of trout? There is a
great loss somewhere, what
caused it? Is it not a fact that
salmon trout when not detained
by racks or wire netting, go to
the natural spawning grounds?
I sympathize with Marsh in the
great loss of trout, in fact our
sports formerly went to Elk City
to fibh, came back with lots of
trout and reported such a good
time, having been treated roy
ally, but this season all visited
Siletz where trout was plentiful.
Before the hatchery we had an
abundance of salmon, especially
sllversides. You being on the
ground nd U bring only hearsay
with me, will you please explain
why both salmon and trout are
bo scarce in Yaquina and so
plentiful In Alsea and Siletz, yet
the Commission has been so
heroically spending money doing
the work of nature for Yaquina
and neglecting the other two
streams? Did not the 200 fish
ermen, besides the army of other
employes in the business bring
more money into the county
than the hatchery ever has, be
sides the railroad formerly ran
a special each year giving our
Valley friends an opportunity to
troll for salmon. Each excur
sion left more money in the
county than the 6 or 6 hands
employed earned in one season.
I don't want to knock ' the
county but you say that "hatch
eries turn out 90 per cent of all
eggs taken while the eggs de
posited by the salmon only 10
per cent mature." Is this not
simply estimated, and if so was
the estimate mnde by the same
person who estimated that Lin
coln county has 1000 deer and
therefore must have a law that
our stockmen must not ubo dogs
to protect their 9,761 goats and
sheep, as appears on the tax rolls
of 1914. No deer on tax rolls.
Do you know of any great in
crease of either game or fish and
where, in Oregon, where this
riBQ ana uame Board has bad
full power with its vast amount
of money, drawn from the peo
ple, using same as they saw fit,
without passing one dollar
through the state treasurer's
office as all state funds are band
led and audited? Our people
want results, have we got them
on the Yaquina bay? As I may
be misinformed but want to be
right, please answer.

THAT ELK RIVER .
SALMON HATCHERY
Editor Leader:-
I would like to say a few words
about the fish hatchery, especi
ally to agree with Mr. Dixon
when he says it was past the ex
perimental stage and all the old
time fishermen will agree with
me that it is a demonstrated fact
that the way it has been worked
here; it will in a few years more,
exterminate the salmon. He
says that there- is a gato where
the salmon can go on up the
river, but he don't say that it is
a hole two fbot square in a per
pendicular wall and discharges
the water on a smooth floor
about 8 by 16 foot square, and
has about a 12 foot hend with nil
of Bis Elk behind It, and the
water m tnls pen is Just foam
and is seldom ever thren fpst
deep, so you see the fish have
to put on some steam to get
throueh. Ho tells von that. thiv
sort the fish over In this pen and
Keep tne ones tnat tncy want to
spawn, but he don't rv that
they don't hold them for the
eggs to ripen as tncy did in days
gone by. but SDawn them with
a butcher knife and use the eggs
for trout bait. Hs says that the
trout hatching is an experiment,
but he don't tell vou that, it
could not help this country
wueiuur mey natcn any eggs or
not, as thev onlv eve the ovn
here and ship them to Bonne
ville and never put any of them
back in these waters. Thin vpar
will about finish the trout. The
six horse team industry has
dwindled down to a two man loh
and it won't take but one man
to run it next year on suckers,
for there are Dlentv of them in
Lincoln county. If there wasn't
what few steel heads we have
left would not have to beat their
life out at these racks waiting:
for the butcher knife route to
tne spawning prounds.
NOW about corntn T rlnn't
think that I know any more
iiiwui mm man orotner Crosno,
as we have both of us put in
about all of our spare time for
me last s yearn following . a
hound doer, but we hnth bnn
that a few years ago we had lots
vi eaimon ana no coyotes and
now we nave lots of coyotes and
no salmon. Nov I suppose you
will be told that I am irresponsi
ble and a kicker of Improve
ments and industries, but I have
told nothing but what anyone
can find out for himself and I
wish everyone interested would
Investigate right now so we
would have a few trout and steel
heads left And say when you
come just take a pike pole and
6ee how far you can stick it in
that hole that the salmon go
through. If this rack was open
ed now we would save the spring
run of fish. Hoping that some
one who has the right Bort of a
puu win neip ub in this matter,
I remain,
Yours trulv.
