Newspaper Page TextMEDFORMIAIL TRIBUNE, anLOFOUD, ORUCJON, SUNDAY, APRIL J), 1911, PAGE SEVENS ;Uncle Sam WASHINGTON, April S. Fishing for the cIugIvo salmon with n pnlr of pliers and a button, Undo Sam lias practically succeeded In solving the mystery of the life history of this lordly fish. It was not merely a fishing c.xpc dltlon for the fun or It, but a serious nttampt on the part of the govern ment Ichthyologists to lift the veil of mystery which has enshrouded the salmon. 'Recently, however, the bureau of fisheries hit upon the Idea of mark ing specimens of the fish and- trac ing their movements. The button Is clamped through the tnll of the sal mon. One face shows the words "U. Sa Fish," the other the number with which the scientists "christen" the specimen. The location chosen for the mark ing of the salmon was the Washing ton state fish trap, a few hundred yards nbove the head of Sand Island. IL was selected by the government bucanse It marks the limits on the north of the area over which the glll nat fishermen operate. Standing as Itldoes on the line which separates the glllnettors field and the set traps, It , is especially well located for tho experiments. lThero were 59 fish marked and liberated on August 11 25 chlnook salmon, 10 slivers and 18 steelhcnds. These fish ranged In total length from 41 to .103 centimetres for the chlnooks, 4 7 to 78 cm. for the bII vors and 71 to 00 for the stcelheads, demonstrating that while the fish wpre small In number they were well distributed in size. Information of tho Import of the experiment was given out to tho fish ery Interests on the Columbia river with the request that they record the place and details of the catch of any marked fish. jThelr co-operation resulted In the capture of 17 out of the 59 marked fish, representing 29 per cent of those liberated, which was a favora ble proportion, considering tho 12 to 15 days of the closed season. Of the 17 captured six were chlnooks, six silver salmon and five steolhoads. The period between the time of lib eration and recapture of all speci mens was 57 days. iThe record made by the officials UDon tho receipt of tho buttons and i'iViI talis, which has just been made public hero, sheds considerable light on the life history of the salmon. Hy coniparliiB tho facts recorded at the time of liberation with those of thf time of capture scientists have been j able to figure out something of the individual history of each fish. Hy examination of the button scientists were able to tell whether the fish spent his time in salt water or fresh. The degree of corrosion of the alu minum button gave an index of the time spent In salt water. Whero cor rosion occurred extensively In a short tlnio It was assumed that the fish spent most of his time In concentrat ed sea water. An examination of the records showed that each group of the three species liberated Included certain In dividuals that apparently lived in sea wntor long enough to produco corro sion of the marking buttons. 1 Chinook No. 113 was caught six days after liberation and by a purse solne operating near Republic Spit. i a V, One Car Unloaded Saturd 4 ; Warehouse and Salesrooms 10th and Oakdale f-- - --" - - ApuaHMMWnMBMPiMPiw4WMabpaii tJTtl'iflfCpll'"IT-''lr'T?-JliTI1-l- 1" -III I iH"TTfTihV"'?' -f - Studies Traits of Salmon a point marked by the wreckage of a vessel whlcn obstructs the channel off the south shore or Sand Island. It Is four miles down the river from the state trap, The nlumlnuni mark ing button or this salmon was qulto smooth, demonstrating thnt the rish had not gone out Into tho sea. It Is probable, therefore, that this salmon spent his time swimming back and forth In the tidewater or tho vicinity In the process or accllmitlzation. Whether or not It swam long dis tances, either up or down Btream, can not bo ascertained. Silver salmon No. 97 had the most deeply corroded and pitted button ot the entire series. It was more cor roded than chlnook No. 123, which was out 31 days. No. S9 was also a deepluy corroded button. These two fish, 89 and 97, therefore, bear evi dence of a considerable sojourn In salt or brackish water. Steelhcad No. 124, out 33 days, shows slight corrosion, but No. 98, out 52 dnys, shows marked corrosion. It Is evident, teroforo, tat No. 124 spent little time in tidewater, while the coroslon or the button or the lat ter Indicates considerable contact with salt water. The speed or migration Is divided Into two periods, first, the migration through the various stages of tide water, and, second, the mlgrntlon up the river when once within fresh wa ter. This experiment was launched in tho tidewater zone, hence. It can not solve o'thor speed period. The hypothesis Is, however, that salmon travel at nn average speed that Is ap parently uniform for different Indi viduals under similar conditions. This Is demonstrated somewhat by the fol lowing recerd: Number 76 was 28 days out and traveled 210 miles, 75 was out 2 7 days and traveled 210 miles, S9 was out 30 dnys and traveled 30 nillea and 79 was 33 days out and, accord ing to record, It traveled 210 miles, In the sunimnry of conclusions giv en by the officials, It Is stated that ADVERTISE zr you Want a Cook Want a Clerk Want a Partner Want a Situation Want a Servant Girl , Want to Sell a Piano Want to Sell a Carriage Want to Sell Town Property Want to Sell Your Groceries Want to Sell Your Hardwaro Want Customers for Anything Advertlie Bally In This Paper.

T - -- - - - - - "T'lM - V - - 1 'i'-r,. ,., , '. , ' the observations are entirely too fow to make the deductions absolutely conclusive, but that the rollowlng facts arc satisfactorily established: 1. That salmon tnke rrom 30 to 40 dnys to pass through brackish water within tho limits of the fishing wa ters at the mouth of the Columbia river. 2. Th (ft salmon spend considerable time swimming back and forth in tldcwnter during the acclimatization to fresh water is Indicated by the fact that two fishes were taken below the point at which they were marked; by the corrosion or the aluminum mnrklng buttons by salt water, and by the long time spent by certain rishes In reaching the lower limits ot rrcsh water. 3. When wholly within fresh wn tor, the silver salmon and the steel head mnko tho mlgrntory journey nt an averngo speed or rrom six to sev en and one-hnir miles a day and prob ably more. 4. There Is little evidence thnt the process or marking or that the par tial obstruction or the course by rish lng gear does more than produce a temporary checking or the migratory Journey.
