Mr. Ker- shaw received tails and tins ot 100 salmon from a single trap owner on the Columbia river that were plainly marked hatchery fish. When the hatcheries were placed in operation on the Columbian river a system of marking was adopt- ed for the purpose of ascertaining if any of the sal- mon turned out in the river returned to their native spawning grounds, and in what length of time. The marked fins and tails received by Mr. Ker- shaw were found to be salmon that were turned out of the Kalama and Chinook hatcheries four years ago. The spawn of these fish was taken in 1900. and the young salmon turned out in 1901. The fish were marked in a manner that leaves no doubt of this fact- The small bones in the fins were cut down and a hole punched in the tail. The cutting of the bones in the fin is just the same as a man losing a part of his fingerâit never grows out again. The Columbia river was practically depleted of salmon when the artificial propagtaion of the fish was commenced on that stream, and the past several years has demonstrated that it has been restocked by some means. While only a part of the fish were marked when released from the hatcheries, the fact that one trap owner on the river found at least 100 of these salmon during the past season is conclusive evidence that artificial propagation is the only solution of the prob- lem to prevent the depletion of the salmon fisheries. Mr. Kershaw asked a number of the Columbia river cannerymen and trap owners to watch for the marked salmon, but during the rush of the season it was ap- parently overlooked, as only one response has been received.
