Dear Sir: In response to your
questions of March 29, permit me to
' say that It Is now fifteen years
since Or. Gilbert and I studied the
salmon problem for the United StateB
Fish Commission. Since that time
Dr. Gilbert lias been engaged In var
ious researches for the government
and many of our former opinions
have been modified in the llgljt of
these recent developments. It now
seems probable that the small Chin
ook salmon running in the river are
all young males. They are sexually
mature and the greater part of them
die on the spawning beds. As no fe
males are found among these young
fish, it would seem that tholr des
truction can do no harm. As it 1b
the adult males nre sufficiently num
erous to Berve the needs of the spec
lei:. Regarding the young fish, I have
changed my former opinion since I
discovered through the researches of
Dr. Gilbert that there are no female

This could be done by forbidding the

by preventing fishing on certain

What About Salmon Protection?
That the food fish of our state need better protection than is now afforded is agreed.
You have already or doubtless will receive considerable liturature on the subject, but no
matter how attractive the argument, stop and consider how it may be colored by
self-interests. .
The United States Bureau of Fisheries are the greatest expert authorities on the. subject
and have no ax to grind. .Read what they say.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR
Office ot Ihe Secretary, Washington, D. C.
Hon. Charles W. Fulton, ' -
United States Senate,
Washington, D. C.
, ,slrU, Tho l'nnrtmont realizes tho Importance of tho various questions affecting tho salmon fishery In the
Columbia Rlwr brought up In your letter of tho 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 fishery is unsatisfactory and that un
der 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 degree that thousands of fishermen may be
thrown out of employment nnd much capital rendered Idle. The Federal Government Is without nny jurisdiction
whatever in the premises, nnd the duty of conserving the salmon supply in Columbia devolves on the States of
Oregon. W ashington, and Idaho; but this Department has been charged by Congress with Important fish-cultural
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 con
vinced that tho run of salmon In tho Columbia can be amply maintained 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, tho recent experience of the Department has shown that Its beneficent labors are render
ed almost futile by tho failure of tho Slates to appreciate this fact.
The IHuirtniiiits. sees no ntimm for advocating Hie elimination of fish wheels from tho rlv.T as there is
no evidence to show (hat thin form of uiuiitiis H piirtlciilnrly destructive to salmon. A condition that is six-chilly
favorable for the passage of salmon niiiiiely, very high wnter renders the wheels unserviceable mid on the
other hand, h-i-IIh of very low water, when the fish nre much restricted In their movements, nre also unfavorable
for (he wheels. Hiii'Iiik the (Mist two or three seasons the catch of salmon l.y wheels has been romimrativclv
hiiuiII; but even It It were very lame It would ben fact of no sieclnl similflcance in the present connection
The Columbia ltlver Is, however, made to yield a quantity of salmon far greater than regard for the fu
ture supply permits, and tho drain Is yearly becoming more serious. Xo one fumlltui- w ith the situation can fail to
appreciate ,. .,. , ,. ,H-i H-t ulty of the industry that Is furnished l.y the concentration of a tremendous
iiniount of fix.sl and floating apixiratus of raptor.' in and near the mouth of the river. This apparatus roiiii.Hsvs
nl.oiit toil HMiml nets or trap", over NO long-sweep seines, and more than U.sEio gill nets, the last Imvlmr an air
(regale approximate length of over .170 miles; ami these appliances rapture more than 11.1 iter cent of the rish
taken In the (Mvgon and Washington waters of the river, the figures for 1904 being nearly 34.000,000 pounds or
US. 7 per cent of the total yield. I'nder such conditions. It Is self-evident that but comparatively few fish are
permitted to reach the upper waters whore the spawning grounds are located
Tho details of the measures necessary to place the salmon Industry of the Columbia Rlv?r on a permanent
basis cannot be elaborated by the Department at this time, but In general It may be said that there should be ill
ii rmtrlrllon on the amount of apiralus employed In a given section; U) an adequate weekly close season rover,
