First Thresher Introduced Into
Salmon River Country.
The gradual advance of settlers and
home makers upon the broad ranges
of the upper Salmon river, and the
inevitable end of the immense stock
raising industry of that district. Is evi
denced In the Introduction near Pol
lock of the first thresher to be brought
Into the range country, says the
Grangevllle, Idaho, correspondent to
Spokane paper. The machine has
been purchased, by William Lamont
Jnd will be used on his wheat rancli.
This vast territory, which a few
years ago was given over to roaming
bands of livestock and had become
one of the most famous of the ranges
of the northwest, has, within the last
two or three years, gradually changed
In its nature.
The land Is being cot Into smaller
areas and the value of the soil for
grain raising Is being appreciated.
Here and there throughout the terri
tory embraced, homes have sprung up
and across the old grazing lands may
be seen broad stretches of growing
grain. It Is probable that several
other machines will follow this pio
neer in a new country.
But one feature is lacking to make
this country one of the largest grain
raising districts In the state trans
portation. At present It means a long
haul to place the product on the mar
ket, but with the completion of the
railroad projects now under way or
proposed, the upper Salmon river will
be well supplied with means or sena
ing its grain to the buyers.
What About Salmon Protection ?
That the food fieh of our state need better protection than Is aow afforded Is agreed,
Tou hare already or doubtless will Teoerre considerable literature on the subject, but no matter
how attractive the argument, stop and oonalder how much It may be colored by aelf-lnterest
The United States Bureau of Fisheries are the greatest expert authorities on the subject and have

O&ce of ths Secretary, Wcshbgtoo, D. C.
Hon. Charles W. Fulton,
United States Senate, ..v. ' 1
Washington, D. C a,
Sir: The Department realises the Importance oFThe various questions affecting the salmon fishery
In the Columbia river brought up In your letter of the 18th ultimo, and has taken this opportunity to
make a thorough investigation of the matter. There can be no question that the status of the fish
ery Is unsatisfactory, and that under existing conditions the trend may be expected to be steadily
downward, with the result that in a comparatively few years the run of salmon In that stream will be
reduced to such a degreethat thousands of fishermen may be thrown out of employment and much
capital rendered Idle. Th Federal Government Is without any Jurisdiction whatever In the premises,
and the duty of conserving the salmon supply in the Columbia devolves on the States of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho; hut this department has been charged by Congress with important flsh-cul-ture
operations In the Columbia basin, and has felt impelled from time to time to direct attention
to the necessity for giving adequate protection to the various species of salmon frequenting that
stream. The Department Is convinced that the run of salmon In the Columbia can be amply main
tained for an Indefinite period If artificial propagation Is supplemented by rational protection; but
artificial propagation alone cannot cope with the situation, and, as a matter of fact, the recent ex
perience of the department has shown that its beneficent labors are rendered almost futile by the
failure of the states to appreciate this fact.
The department sees) no reason for advocating the elimination of fish wheels from the river, as
there I no evidence to show that this form of apparatus Is particularly destructive to salmon. A con
dition that Is specially favorable for the passage of salmon namely, rVry high water renders the
wheels unserviceable ami,, on the other hand, periods of very low water, when the fish are much re
sit rlcted In their movement 5s are also unfavorable for the wheels. During the pant two or thre seasons
the catch of salmon hy wheels lias been comparatively small; but even if It were very large It would
be a fact of no sipecial 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 sit
uation can fall to appreciate the menace to the perpetuity of the Industry that is furnllwl by the
concentration of a tremendous amount of fixed and floating apparatus of capture In and near the mouth
of the river. Tills apparatus comprtsra about 400 pound net or trans, over 80 long-sweep seins, and
nore than 2200 (rill nets, the last having an aggregate approximate length of over 870 ndlea; and
these appliances capture more tlian 05 per cent of the fUh taken In the Oregon and Washington waters
of the river, the figures for 1904 being nearly 14,000.000 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' located.
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 on the amount of apparatus employed In a given section; (J)
an adequate weekly close season covering posibly two days at first, but reduced later if the circum
stances warrant; (3) an annual clone season, preferably at the beginning of the salmon run, and (4)
Joint arrangements between the states, go that protective measures may be Iiarmonious.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) OSCAR S. STRAUS,
" Secretary.

Whole Family Injured.
Saturday, while driving from their
homestead and on nearlng town R. B.
KIrkwood, wife and 4-year-old son,
Robert, were thrown from the wagon
?nd severely injured, says the Pasco
Express. Mr. KIrkwood had several
ribs broken, Mrs. KIrkwood had the
point of her elbow broken and the
little boy, who received the worst In
Jury, had his arm broken In two
places and his shoulder fractured.
They left immediately for Seattle,
where they are all In the hospital do
Ing well.
The cause of the trouble arose from
the tongue of the wagon dropping
from the neckyoke and one of the
horses being young, veered around In
such a manner as to spill the occu
pants into the road.
