the Page and other events cut down
the usual attendance ot the Craters
club meeting in the Dlnty Mohr ban

A trip to the Gold Ray and Savae
Rapids Dams was made yesterday by
deputy state came warden, W. R-
Coleman. accompanied by Frank Mil'
ler, W. E. Brayton and a representa
live of The Mail Tribune.
"The fish ladder at Savage Rapidi
is the best ladder on the coast, said
Mr. Coleman, "and I'll prove it to
you."
I'pon arrival at Gold Ray the party
went down through the power house
to the ladder. A big run ot Chinook
salmon was on and hundreds of fish
could be seen lying in the riffle about
30 feet below the lower lead wall be
yond the end of the ladder. Every
now and then one of the big fellows
would take a tremendous rush against
the current in an attempt to get over
the wall and into the channel of the
ladder.
The current .at this point must
i flow ten miles per hour, yet the fish
with fins and tails vibrating make
torpedo-like speed against it. The
spattering and sizxling of their fins
can be heard above the roar of the
invitation extended to the Craters by I""' Puring over the dam. They

i Winter Wheat Decrease.
WASHINGTON. May 8 A winter
wheat trop of STS.zST.OOO bushels,
or 1.4 per cent less than the 1922
crop, was forecast today by the de
partment of agriculture. The fore
cast was based on the condition of
winter wheat May 1, which was 80.1
Her cent of a normal, and on the area
Xtomaining May 1 to be harvested.

shoot like torpedoes at the wall
Then spat: They butt their noses
against the wall and fall back stun
ned.
The wall Is too high. Only about
one out of five fish that attempt to
get into the ladder get over the wall
and into the channeL The majority
waste their wonderful energy, batter
ing their bodies against the wall and
fall back into slower water to rest for
another attempt.
"Now that you have seen this."
said Coleman. "I want to tell you that
these fish don't come down the river
or up the highway. They're going
up the river and they come over the
Udder at Savage Rapids. Now let s
watch 'em go up this ladder."
The party climbed along the side
of the Gold Ray ladder to the top.
The top pool had a number of beauti
ful big salmon In it that had con
qaered the wall at the bottom. Many
ot them were badly battered and few
had made the climb unscathed.
The final rush from the top pool
of the ladder, where the water fines
snd bubbles like a giant seidletz
powder, to the still water beyond the
dam is the hardest step of the ladder
with the exception of the leap over
the bottom lead wall. The pool Is too
small (or the big fellows to get a fly
ing start In.
Following the visit to'the Gold Ray
dam the party drove down the high
way to Savage Rapids dam and walk
ed across the top of the structure to
tne tish ladder.
No difficulty Is experienced by the
fish at the bottom of this ladder
which is exceptionally easy to enter.
The water In the pools is deep, the
lanuor Is not as steep as that at Gold
Ray and the fish mount It easily. In
addition the bottom of the ladder if
much easier to find. Although many
ot me tlg tellows fight the current
at the other side of the river, the
same as they do at Gold Ray. th
fish that start toward the botom of
tne ladder enter it with ease and
make the trip up In a few minutes.
Coleman advocates alterations In
the lead wall at the Gold Ray ladder
tnat will make it easy to enter from
downstream. enlarging a hole
a considerable distance up the ladder.

says Coleman. "The Gold Ray a(j.
