The lowly seal i owe of th big reaaon for
portioa of th present high cost of Bring. At
least th ravage of the ! ar reepooaibl Tot
th xtrem gost of bothySwh and eanned ffab
along th Columbia river at this tim. -
It fa Mtimated that saafa aloo eonawme oo.
000 pouad of salmon each day during th
spring-cummer si a arm along the Columbia, th
total Idb from these pests during th entire year
being estlmsted ta round numbers at $0,000,000
pound. Thia sum fa staggering." especially to thus
days of high living cost.
Efforts bar been mad at - various intervals
to rid th salmon industry of th Columbia river
of this snnerl law, but tber have net bo
effective during recent years b sea nee fishermen
ar head trapped to their work of catching th
spoilers. - i
"Som year ago. before s law waa pssssff pro
hibiting such its." say Chris K. Henry of th
Columbia Fishing company of Pillar Bock, "th
ffahrmea almost, rid th river of seal by tg
I of so ealled sturgeon hooka. A law w
ceased mohibittng th waa of these hook to
effort to aav th sturgeon satpphr. and sine then
tb sturgeon have practically disappeared, while
th seal have, multiplied. There fa therefor bo
longer any need of such a law. whU it repeal
would give the fishermen a weapon to rid th
river of th -greatest flan tnisvt tnat ever
fated.
"Th seal fa vary wise and nsee many tricks to
obtain th fish It want."
Mr. Henry fa going back to th river, and wm
operate a gillnet. Th demand for nan fa so
keen and the pric so high that even with small
catenae fishermen oaa max excellent wage.
