H- -if -, Western Salmon in the East Following is from the pen of George II. Graham, Fish and Gamo Commis sioner, Springfield, Mass., in tiio Ore gon Sportsman. No more interesting experiment has ever been carried on in the lino of fish culture than what has been done in the past ten years with the Pacific salmon known as "Chinook" in some of our New England lakes. The splendid re cord that has come from Lake Suna- pec, N. II. and more recently what has been the result of planting these fish in Lake Qulnsigamond in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts, attracts the attention of fish culturists and ang lers all over the country. Knowing whnt had been the results of planting these salmon in Lake S una pec and be lieving that equally good results could be obtained in the old Hay State the Commissioners on Fisheries & Game began to look around to see whe-e to try the experiment. Thcyfound in Lake Qulnsigamond what they con sidered an ideal lake; it has a large area of "deep water and is very cold in places. It lias a large amount of food for the salmon to feed upon in the shape of landlocked smelts which seem ed to bo increasing nt an enormous rate. The lake was screened at the outlet so as lo prevent the young fish from going down stream and when the fish were planted they were good sized fish from four to six inches long. Ten thousand of these fish were planted during the fall of 1012 and uunng July of 1814 or within about twenty months from the time they were hat ched, over COO salmno were caught by the anglers, ranging from one and one half to five pounds each. These fish were caught both trolling and still fishing with live bait, and as there has been no limit on salmon in Massachusetts one man caught' over twenty fish in one day. The salmon that were planted in Lake Quinsignamond were kept in the hatchery until they were from four to six inches long, nnd when they were planted they were well able to care for themselves. This lake, like so many others in our incw ungianu states, was well stocked with pickerel and perch and there were so many of these fish that doubt was freely ex pressed that the salmon would all be eaten up bofore they had a chance to grow. The aci all fishing is salmon fishing mi s 't .i a sport that has been enjoyed bj o...y a few pcoplo during the past fifty years. In recent years one in orticr to secure any sport oi tins kind had to have a fat pocked boo;. and lots of leisure time. In the early history of New England most of the w PORT ORFORD REPORTS W .9 (From Port Orford Tribune.) large rivers were noted as salmon rivers and the salmon ascended the river every year to lay their spawn in fresh water, but since the rivers have been dammed to make powo, the fish have been unable to ascend and it was only a few years nfter the dams were built when our salmon were all gone.

It is no wonder then that much interest has been dis played by sportsmen nil over the coun try in the experiments that have been carried on with the Pacific salmon known as Chinook salmon, m our lakes of New England. There has never been a fish introduc cd into our eastern waters that has ap pealed lo our sportsmen ns much as has this species of salmon and when it is known that the government is in i n position to furnish millions eggs from the fall run of Chinook salmon without injury to the commercial in terests and by taking the eggs that will nt be otherwise used it is no wond or that our people are interested in having the eggs sent to New England, No -activity of the Bureau of Fisheries has been more successful from the angler's point of view than has the work done with these salmon.

It might-be of interest to publish the names of the tribes in and near Port Orford at that timo that could help the tribe here and many was here and did help. All these Indians spoke one lang uage and were of one nation. They were divided into twelve hands.. The Na so mah band was at the mouth of the Coquille. Quah tomahs, at the mouth of Floras creek.

The three men were rctu'rninir from Bandon where they had attended the Moose celebration. At a noint n bout eight miles from this city n tire blew out and ns the car wns hugging the outside of the road nt the time, it shot over the edge before Mintonye, wno was steering, could straighten it up. The car rolled down to meadow, stopping bottom up and pining Mr. Barton down with his face in the dirt, from which dangerous position he was rescued by the other two. A passing Fordist loaned a nuw inner tube, and the car was righted and driven into town with its passengers, Mr. Barton assisting Mr. Mintonye in steering. Examination by Xray showed that Mr. Mintonyc's arm wns broken close to to the shoulder and he will be laid up for some weeks Coquille Herald. INTERESTING PACTS TAKEN F.tOM THE OREGON ALMANAC The Almanac also indicates that limestone is found in the Northern end of Curry County. It indicates that the Mountains between Curry and Jo sephine County contain limestone, gold, silver, coal; platinum; copper; marble, mineral paint, asbestos, fire and brick clay. Coos County expended for roads nnd bridges in 1910 $172,720.03 and in 1913 $199,030.80, and front 1903 to 1913 in clusive being a period of 11 years, a total of $9GG,GG2.22. Only five Coun ties in the State have expended great er sums in tlio same lenght of time, namely Clackamns, Douglas, Lane, Mnrion nnd Multnomah. All the Counties in the state during that pe riod of 11 years have expended a total of $18,392,012.04, of which sum Coos alone has expended very nearly one eighteenth. It states that Coos County, having 102S square miles is about one third lnrger than the state of Rhodo Island, and gives this County twenty one bil lion feet of standng merchantable timber, lists 82 percent of Curry's population as American boin.
