Reporta received here from the On
tario hatchery ho.v thit the new
method of hatching salmon la result
ing In a much larger output of fry.
Under the old aiiueealng process about
4000 egg were taken from each female
salmon, and usually a few hundred of
these eggs were destroyed In handling.
Now the belly of the fish Is slit open
and the eggs shaken out. At Ontario
7,7116.000 eggs have thus far been takm
from 1636 female sulmon, the average
number from euch salmon being 4795.
There are about 1600 salmon yet to be
spawned and It Is likely the output
there this season will be fully 15,000.000.
At the Salmon river plant l.MW.OOO fry
have been hatched, but Superintendent
Wlsner, of the United State hatchery
on the Clackamas, ha promised to turn
ovir nn adlltlonal 2,000.000 to the sal
mon rlvor plant. On the Grande Roiule
3.000,000 egg have been taken, and it is
the Inbmtlon to secure a alte a few
mile tbove the present ouo for next
season's work. Few fish hnv been
taken on the Clackamas this year,
there being a notable scarcity there.
