WILL MADISON'S HATCHERIES' GREAT WORK Annual Report of Fish Warden Makes RemarkaXle Shewing Tor Oregon., RESUME OF PAST SEASON Fishermen Profited Greatly by Artificial Propagation-Big Increa.se In Amount of Fish Handled. M COHMXRCIAL ST. tad U KLXTXXTH ST. The report of Fish ' Warden Van Dusen of the year 1903 was presented at the session of the state fisheries board held yesterday. In submitting! the detailed report Mr. Van Dusen says: "I am very much pleased to state that the Columbia river demonstrated again this year that artificial propagation Is the one thing that la preserving the great salmon industry. It is to the fisheries what the sowing of seed ts to the farmer, excepting that it is more far-reaching In its effect, as it is lay ing the foundation for a gradual increaa ing harvest each yenj. While artifi cial propagation of salmon hus been In vogue on the Columbia river for only few years lr a systematic manner. the results' obtained again this year which is the third in succession, have been sufficient to indicate Its wonderful possibilities and to convince even the most skeptical of its great benefits. "The first systematic hatchery work started on the tributaries of the Colum bia river was In the year 1895, when 7,687,000 chlnook fry were turned out by the United States government and the state of Washington the Oregon department not getting started with its part until the year 1899 and siqce then the yearly output has been grad ually increased, until now the com bined output of the three departments. that is, Oregon, Washington and the United States government, will be this season over 70,000,000 chlnook fry. This riyer. The fish were first noticed 'on the SSd day of (July,,when the schooner was erulslrtg about ll miles from Cape Hancock, and during the entire day and the day following the schooner was completely surrounded by , this school of fish, which extended for miles In all directions. They appeared to come from the southwest. 1 , i "It was four or five days thereafter before these fish entered the rler and the fishermen began to reap a harvest the like of which was never before known In the history of our flaherlea Two weeks after this another school of salmon, almost Its equal, entered, the river, but it was too late to be harvest ed, on account of the law prohibiting the taking of salmon fram the water of the Columbia between August IS and September 10. There U no doubt that salmon enough could have been secured, without In any way Jeapordls ing the Industry, to have packed an other 100.000 cases, and by so doing given to the fishermen an additional quarter million of - dollars, for, when the season closed, the canneries and packing establishments were blocked and the fish were to be had from all sources. Glllnetters were limited and not allowed to deliver only a certain number to the boat, and the seiners and trappers were taking ? them In boundless numbers, with no apparent limit to the supply. . ... Qood Year For Gillnettera. The season was again what would be termed a glllnet year and It Is safe to say that the glllnetters were paid more money than ever before; they all made big catches and good prices ...

Men's, Tokg Men's and Bop'Overcoats were paid them throughout the season. The traps and wheels and eelna did not do so well In proportion, on account of the long continued freshet In the river, which Interfered considerably with the success of their operations. The .fish without doubt were In the river from the beginning to the end of the season, aa clearly shown by the numbers taken .by the glllnetters, but conditions were such that they could not be caught by these other contrtV' ancea. All the canneries on the river show an increased pack.

Roger, druggist.' as it did in the year 190L The re sult of the combined efforts of the three departments since the year 189S is very gratifying and shows, per taW herewith submitted, that the complete number of chlnook fry turned out in to this great waterway was nearly 300,000.000. "The fishing season on the Columbia river for the royal chlnook, which Is the salmon that has been given the principal attention In the art of artl flclal propagation, proved Itself .this year to be the best that has been for many a year, and surpasses by 4,073, 722 pounds last year, which was the banner year. This means an additional 1200,000 paid to the fishermen for the raw product and nearly half a million dollars to the canners and dealers for the canned and packed product Thin is a wonderful fihowlng, considering that the artificial work carried on with this fish during 1899-1900, the season the young fry were planted, did not cost the state of Oregon $5000. "There was a falling off of 60 percent with the' blueback salmon and 3 1-2 per cent with the steJheads, but with It all, on account of the fine showing made with the chlnooka, there was a general Increase of nearly 20 per cent The production of the coast streams also shows an increase this season over last of 1,146,882, pounds, this increase showing principally with chlnook and sllversldes. " "This makes the entire Increase of the product for. the Columbia river (state of Oregon side) and the coast streams 5,168,877 pounds. "- 'Throughout the early months of the season on the Columbia there was no perceptible increase; on the contrtry, it appeared as if a shortage was to oc cur. The season opened with the river full of fine, early chlnook, which was, without doubt the result of the upper Clackamas river hatchery for It was very noticeable that those that were not taken by the lower river fishermen all turned Into the Willamette and Clackamas rivers and were caught In Immense quantities by the Willamette and Clackamas river fishermen, prln clpally In the. confines of the Clacka mas river. After this run had passed by, small runs would occur from time to. tljne,' bot 'nothing very heavy until the last of July, when the pilots cruls ing off the mouth of the river in their pilot schooner reported that the ocean was literally alive with salmon, which were headed for the mouth of the Co lumbia, and that they were deliberately leaping and jumping over one another at tons or raw nnn ror eacn iooo tt coses, the cold storage product equalls g 133,125 cases of the canned product. I Extensive arrangements are being mude at all of the packing houses to Increase the facilities for handling this cold-torllire nroduct another year, so ft aa to be in shane to take care of all! ft. the salmon offered by the fishermen tt i and not have to restrict them when theg large runs come, as has been the coael during the past three seasons."
