PACKING HOUSES BLOCKED
Some of the Boats Come in With
as Much as Three Tons and
Very Few Fall Below
1200 Pounds.
The long-looked-for hatchery run of
salmon has at last entered the river.
Yesterday receipts at the canneries
were so heavy that the offerings could
not be cared for. and. while the boats
were not limited during the day, the
packing houses were blocked. It was
a repetition of the conditions existing
last year at this time, and the spec
tacle gladdened the hearts of all As
torlans. A. big run of salmon was reported
to have entered the river on Saturday
night's flood, and receipts on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday were gratifying.
However, the fish were not the hatch
ery run, but rather the advance guard.
Tuesday night the run Increased, and
' yesterday all of the receiving docks
were piled high- with great fish of un
equaled quality. Many of the boats
h made two deliveries during the day,
, and so far as could be learned all of
the offerings of salmon were accepted
at the various institutions.
. Nearly all of the packers paid the
original prices yesterday, 6 cents be
ing given for fish weighing over 27
pounds and 5 cents for fish under that
weight It was stated that the Tallant-
: Grant company had reduced the price
to 5 cents for all sizes of fish at 4
o'clock yesterday morning, but the
, other canneries paid 5 and 6 cents. At
the Kinney cannery late yesterday
afternoon 6 cents was paid for large
, fish, although the higher priced salmon
were canned and not sent to the cold I
storage plant The receipts at the cold
storage were too great to permit of any
cannery fish being sent there. It was
freely predicted last evening that all
of the packers would reduce the price
to 5 cents flat this morning.
Some Inspiring Scenes.
The scenes at the various packing
houses were indeed inspiring. From
all points of the compass heavily
laden Ashing boats were to be seen
making for the canneries. The boats
were loaded almost to the guards. Al
ready there were long lines of waiting
boats at the canneries, and the Incom
ing fishermen raced along Wore the
afternoon breeze In order to get a
good place In the line. The receiving
docks were stacked high with fine
salmon, and the cannery forces worked
the afternoon. A newspaper repre

Hatchery Operations.
The work of taking eggs at the Sal
mon river hatchery began July 20 and
up to the last reports received they
had taken 100,000 Chinook eggs.
From the Clackamas river hatchery
I learn: That the work of taking eggs
began about the same time (July 20),
and that they had already succeeded

her to remain at her post for two
years with a possible extension of time
to a third year. During that time she

Startles Lenox Diplomstio Circles by
