Home people, think that even If there wn no freshet there would tie no big run of fish, because, no fish were turned out of tho hatcheries In JB3, ami as the sal mon return to their spawning places In four years, VW would see no fish. Tho majority seem to thlnir. however, thai tho fish retum In four years from tho time they K0 to sea, which occurs when tlM-y are one year old, or five years from tho time thev am tirririnrntiwl nn.i n. many tlwiusands of young fish wen propagatM In Ii2, there should bo a large mn of fish this year.
