Monday of this week the Ona
Good Roads Club put in a big
day on the new road. Several
friends of the Club who have not
joined as yet helped the boys
out as they wanted to make
Monday a banner day on the
road, owing to the fact that they
must put in their crops before
devoting any more time to the
road. However, in a few weeks
dav evenlnc PlntpB wr nnroort the work will be resumed. Road
for 125 persons and every plate i Supervisor Weber reports that
was taken. Mr. Paris Parks, ex
superintendent of the flsh hatch
ery on Big Elk river, and J. C.
Dixon were present from Elk
City by invitation. Mr. Parks
was asked to make a statement
of the way the hatchery had
been conducted and the number
of salmon that had been propa
gated there during the last ten
years. The figures given by
Mr. Parks were as follows: Year
1904, 4,129,600; 1905, 7,247,645;
1906, 9,926,501; 1907, 3,894,708;
1908, 3,778,336; 1909, 1,491,309;
1910, 352,851; 1911, 3,033,860;
1912, 1,703,493; 1913, 8,816,200;
Grand total planted ln Big Elk
-and Yaqulna rivers and their
tributaries, and. Drift creek and
its tributaries, 39,353,905. This
is certainly a splendid showing
for so small a hatchery. Mr.
Parks explained that at first the
flsh were turned loose when
they were too young not able
to take care of themselves and
were devoured by the trout and
other enemies. He said now
they were kept in pools and fed
until they were three and a half
to seven Inches long and could
take care of themselves. He
also explained how the en
croachnicnt of civilization had
about 200 days' have been do
nated to date, and it will be a
question of a very short "time
until that particular strip of road
is completed. Chester Ryan of
South Beaver spent most of last
week with the boys on the road
and Conrad Thompson, who is
living at the Ryan ranch at pres
ent, came over to help the boys
one day. We feel encouraged
and wish to pass our enthusiasm
along.
