In Ms report to the state board of fish commissioners, reporting for the month of April, Fish Warden Van Dusen says: "The Chinook salmon fry raised at the Ontario salmon hatchery thla past season hare alt been turned into the Snake river, the total output of the station being 22,660,235. In planting of the. fry "extreme care w; taken to scatter them as much as slble and not overtax the food capac lty of the river with any one batch. The work of Mberating them began March 3 and lasted until April 26, ex tending over a period of 55 days. Dur tng he month of March not to exceed 300,000 were turned out during any one day, but during April the water became considerably warmer, which caused them to develop more rapidly, and the average dally output was al most 700,000. They were all taken as fur as possible from the hatchery and turned loose in the main water of the Snake river. Recent experiments made by the United States bureau of fish ertes show that the chlnook salmon fry begin their migration as soon as they are able to swim. If thla be true, and we have no reason to doubt it, those that were raised and turned out at thla hatchery thia season should, with very few exceptions, make the long Journey to the sea, for the waters Schilling's of the Snake river have been quite high and riley and afforded the heat opportunity for them to keep out of eight of their natural enemies." The report adds that the cost of hatching this number of fry waa JS838.73 an average of S9 cents per thousand which la much below the usual cost of propagating salmon.
