The 10-acre pond will hole some 500,000 salmon fingerlings with supplemental feeding under natural conditions. This will be the third and largest such project in the state’s efforts to supplement and establish fish run* in coastal streams. Three ponds built by Menasha Ply wood Co., North Bend, on that firm’s lands along the south fork of the Cos River have been leased to the commission for several years for the consideration of one dollar. “The timber companies have ex pressed a genuine interest in the im provement of our fisheries resource” -aid Albert M.
