First Thresher Introduced Into Salmon River Country. The gradual advance of settlers and home makers upon the broad ranges of the upper Salmon river, and the inevitable end of the immense stock raising industry of that district. Is evi denced In the Introduction near Pol lock of the first thresher to be brought Into the range country, says the Grangevllle, Idaho, correspondent to Spokane paper. The machine has been purchased, by William Lamont Jnd will be used on his wheat rancli. This vast territory, which a few years ago was given over to roaming bands of livestock and had become one of the most famous of the ranges of the northwest, has, within the last two or three years, gradually changed In its nature. The land Is being cot Into smaller areas and the value of the soil for grain raising Is being appreciated. Here and there throughout the terri tory embraced, homes have sprung up and across the old grazing lands may be seen broad stretches of growing grain. It Is probable that several other machines will follow this pio neer in a new country. But one feature is lacking to make this country one of the largest grain raising districts In the state trans portation. At present It means a long haul to place the product on the mar ket, but with the completion of the railroad projects now under way or proposed, the upper Salmon river will be well supplied with means or sena ing its grain to the buyers. What About Salmon Protection ? That the food fieh of our state need better protection than Is aow afforded Is agreed, Tou hare already or doubtless will Teoerre considerable literature on the subject, but no matter how attractive the argument, stop and oonalder how much It may be colored by aelf-lnterest The United States Bureau of Fisheries are the greatest expert authorities on the subject and have ao ax grind. Read vwhat they say: v Deportment of Conmerce and Labor O&ce of ths Secretary, Wcshbgtoo, D. C. Hon. Charles W. Fulton, United States Senate, ..v. ' 1 Washington, D. C a, Sir: The Department realises the Importance oFThe various questions affecting the salmon fishery In the Columbia river brought up In your letter of the 18th ultimo, and has taken this opportunity to make a thorough investigation of the matter. There can be no question that the status of the fish ery Is unsatisfactory, and that under existing conditions the trend may be expected to be steadily downward, with the result that in a comparatively few years the run of salmon In that stream will be reduced to such a degreethat thousands of fishermen may be thrown out of employment and much capital rendered Idle. Th Federal Government Is without any Jurisdiction whatever In the premises, and the duty of conserving the salmon supply in the Columbia devolves on the States of Oregon, Washington and Idaho; hut this department has been charged by Congress with important flsh-cul-ture operations In the Columbia basin, and has felt impelled from time to time to direct attention to the necessity for giving adequate protection to the various species of salmon frequenting that stream. The Department Is convinced that the run of salmon In the Columbia can be amply main tained for an Indefinite period If artificial propagation Is supplemented by rational protection; but artificial propagation alone cannot cope with the situation, and, as a matter of fact, the recent ex perience of the department has shown that its beneficent labors are rendered almost futile by the failure of the states to appreciate this fact. The department sees) no reason for advocating the elimination of fish wheels from the river, as there I no evidence to show that this form of apparatus Is particularly destructive to salmon. A con dition that Is specially favorable for the passage of salmon namely, rVry high water renders the wheels unserviceable ami,, on the other hand, periods of very low water, when the fish are much re sit rlcted In their movement 5s are also unfavorable for the wheels. During the pant two or thre seasons the catch of salmon hy wheels lias been comparatively small; but even if It were very large It would be a fact of no sipecial significance In the present connection. The Columbia river is, however, made to yield a quantity of salmon far greater than regard for the future supply permits, and the drain Is yearly becoming more serious. No one familiar with the sit uation can fall to appreciate the menace to the perpetuity of the Industry that is furnllwl by the concentration of a tremendous amount of fixed and floating apparatus of capture In and near the mouth of the river. Tills apparatus comprtsra about 400 pound net or trans, over 80 long-sweep seins, and nore than 2200 (rill nets, the last having an aggregate approximate length of over 870 ndlea; and these appliances capture more tlian 05 per cent of the fUh taken In the Oregon and Washington waters of the river, the figures for 1904 being nearly 14,000.000 pounds, or 98.7 per cent of the total yield. Under such conditions. It Is self-evident that but comparatively few fish are permitted to reach the upper waters where the spawning grounds are' located. The details of the measures necessary to place the salmon Industry of the Columbia river on a permanent basis can not be elaborated by the department at this time, but In general It may be said that there should be (1) a restriction on the amount of apparatus employed In a given section; (J) an adequate weekly close season covering posibly two days at first, but reduced later if the circum stances warrant; (3) an annual clone season, preferably at the beginning of the salmon run, and (4) Joint arrangements between the states, go that protective measures may be Iiarmonious.
