Flsh Warden Van Dusen has visited
the Clackamas river hatcheries to de
termine, ' if possible, the cause of the
present shortage In the supply of sal
mon eggs, and has left for Ontario to
Investigate conditions there. 'T first
noticed the decrease in the number of
eggs taken In the hatcheries along the
Columbia," said Mr. Van, Dusen, "and
although the falling off was unusual,
I attributed it to the heavy fishing on
the river, but when the Ontario hatch
ery reported similar conditions I was
convinced that It was- no local condi
tion, but general. I can't account for It
satisfactorily. It is serious to the sal
mon industry of the state and must be
overcome. If possible.-. The Columbia
river has been fished to death this year,
and this may be one of the causes for
