M of the salient reasons why the Seattle
falr deserved assistance was so happy
that it is said to have convinced Chalr

3 the conditions under 'which the Seattle
exposition win do nuijt as conirascea
with those when the Portland fair was
constructed:
"All ronnt'iirllnii work t the Tjwia

r: onions. or example, tne Dasic price

J at. Portland ' was $8 4er 1.000 feet; at
. Peattle the 'basic price Is $13 and has
11 been as high as $15. Prices of lumber
at Portland and 8ttle are now identi
cal. The price of lumber . at the Port
land exposition was lower than It has
been for many years.
$ "Again, It was not necessary to as-
semble the government exhibit for
5 Portland, as It had been brought to

:' : :"Sif.; .-'iThe .Department .realizes the importance "of the various questions affecting the salmon fishery in the Colum
bia Rivet .brought up in your letter of the 18th ultimo, and has taken this opportunity to make a thorough investiga-

rthe; rjunofT 'saimon- inuthat stream iwiU .be reduced to such a degree that thousands of fishermen may be thrown out
' of. ernplojyn'ic,nt and much capital 'rendered idle. ' 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.
Respectfully yours, (Signed) OSCAR S. STRAUS,
' Secretary.
BILL NO. 318 EMBODIES GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND SHOULD PASS. IT IS A SQUARE DEAL FOR ALL
VOTE 318 X YES
Bill No. 333 was framed to foster the selfish interest of a single locality. It is against the Government recommen
dations and will mean a heavy tax on the State to carry out its provisions. It favors monopoly and is unfair. It should
not pass.
