' The Federal .Government is without any jurisdiction whatsoever in the premises arid the'duty of cdnserving the salmon supply in the;Columbia devolves on! the States of Oregon, Wash- ington,' and Jdahqf but this Department has been charged by Congress with important fish-cultural operations in the vColutnbia; bashy, and This felf, impelled' from time to 'time to direct attention to the necessity for giving adequate protec-' :ttion,itO; the:j,varipusifpecies-, of--: salmon 'frfqaehtinr'.hat.'-stream. ".The Department is convinced that the run of sal--mon in ."theColumbia--can be amply maintained for an - indefinite period if artificial propagation is supplemented by ' rational vurotection ; but artificial bropaeatton alone cannot cope with the situation, and. as a matter of fact, the recent : experience of the; Department has shown that its, beneficent labors are rendered almost futile by the failure of the states to appreciate this fact. ( . ; !' ; f "TherDeFtertment sees no reason for advocating the elimination of fish wheels from the river, as there is no evidence to show that this "form of apparatus is particularly destructive to salmon. A condition that is specially favorable for the passage of salmon namely, very high water renders the wheels unserviceable and, on the other hand, periods of very low water, when the fish are much restricted in their, movements, are also unfavorable for the wheels.' During the past two be three seasons the catch of . salmon by wheels has been comparatively small; but even if it were very large it would be a fact of no special significance in the present connection. The Columbia River is, however, made to yield a quantity of salmon far greater than regard for the future supply permits, and the drain is yearly becoming more serious. No one familiar with the. situation can fail to appreciate the menace to the perpetuity of the, industry that is furnished! by the concentration of a tremendous amount of fixed and floating apparatus of capture in and near the mouth of the river. - This apparatus comprises about 400 pound nets or traps; over 80 long-sweep seinesand more than 2,200 gill nets, the last-having an aggregate approximate length of over 570 miles; and these appliances capture more than 95 per cent of the fish taken in the Oregon and Washington waters of the river the figures of. 1904 being nearly 34,000,000 pounds, or 98.7 per cent of the total yield. Under such conditions, it is self-evident that but comparatively few fish are permitted to reach the upper waters where the spawning grounds are tocated. The details of the measures necessary to place the salmon industry of the Columbia River on a permanent basis can not be elaborated by the Department at this time, but in general it may be said that there should be (1) a restriction 4 on the amount of apparatus employed in a given section; (2) an adequate weekly close season covering possibly two days at first but reduced later if the circumstances warrant it;-(3) an annual close season, preferably at the beginning of the salmon run, and ( t) joint arrangements between the States, so that protective measures may be harmonious.
