The Kerckhoff Dam, property of the San Joaquin Light and Power Company, that has recently been completed, near Aubery's on the San Joaquin, prevents the passage of the salmon to their formet breeding grounds on the upper reaches of the river. The Merced River will no longer afford a spawning ground for salmon, as a large irrigation project is planned that will hold bfck the flood waters of the Merced in a lake to be made by the construction of a high dam across the river near Exchequer. Plans had been made for the construction of fishways over the small dams in the Merced River, property of the San Joa- quin Light and Power Company, and arrangements made for their construction, but the plan of the large irrigation reser- voir makes it impracticable to attempt any further efforts to perpetuate the run of salmon in the Merced River. With the completion of the Kerckhoff Dam and the proposed dam at Exchequer, the spawning grounds for salmon on the San Joaquin River and its tributaries are practically all cut off from the breeding Shimon. During seasons of normal rain- fall a few salmon will probably spawn neai.' Fiiants, below Power House No. 4 of the San Joaquin Light and Power Company. This area is very small and would not have any effect in keeping up the run of salmon in the rive
