CROSS-BREEDING SALMON.
Of great popular as well as scien
tific interest and value are the ex
periments Dr. E. V. Smith, assistant
professor of zoology in the Uniter—
sity of Washington, has made in
cross-breeding salmon. For the pres
ent, the interest is mostly scientific,
ut it often happens that scientific
discoveries prove to be of immense
commercial value later on. He has
succeeded in crossing the king and
river salmons. Now he will try
cross-breeding the hump, dog and
sockeye salmon with the king and sil
ver and with each other. Out of all
these experiments may come a fish
of greater food value than any now
known. It is yet too early to pre
dict with safety such a result, though
the possibility of it is reasonable.
It is the opinion of scientists that
species of salmon have resulted from
cross-breeding in times past. There
is supposed to be a relationship be
tween trout and salmon. Especially
is this said to be true of the trout
of Washington.
Dr. Smith conducted his experi
ments at the Auburn hatchery. King
veggs with silver salmon sperm were
first used. Cross-breeding resulted,
but the new fish were not satisfactory.
There were many malformations and
many dead fish. One of the charac
teristics was a slender neck. But
when king salmon sperm was used
on silver salmon eggs, a hardy fish
was developed with characteristics of
both the king and the silver salmon.
There are now many of these crosses
at the hatchery, but they have nol
grown to a size to determine their
food and canning qualities. Nor can
it yet be told whether the crosses
will have the king color.
Dr. Smith thinks a very satisfac
tory cross would be between the king
and the sockeye. He will try experi
ments along this line, too.
Cross-breeding of fish under direc
tion of scientists is not altogether
new. It has. been carried on in Eu
rope, where species of trout have
been crossed, but it appears that there
are no reports on the kind and val
ue of fish resulting..
Dr. Smith is also making a study
of the food of salmon at the request
of the United States Fish Commis
sioner. Salmon eat crustaceans, it is
known. Herring also feed on them.
Whether it wrould be desirable to kill
off the herring in order to leave more
food for salmon is a serious ques
tion, however, for the reason that
as the salmon grows older they eat
herring. Efforts will be made to de
termine whether "any useless fish in
the sea eat the same food as fish
that are useful to us.”
The balance of nature may, after
all, be best, at any rate until scien
tists can demonstrate beyond perad
venture that useful fish do not need
for their own food what are known
as useful fish.—Ex.

Government Sends Valuable Shipment
on a Freighter—Carry Marine
Insurance.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.—The
big freighter Eureka left here today
for the Philippines with a shipment
of $1,000,000 in gold coin for the
sublreasury at Manilla. The gold is
stored in a specially constructed room
below decks, which it is believed will
not be subject to any pilfering from
members of the crew. Electric lights
will make the approaches to the
room as light as day.
The government has also taken out
marine insurance on the shipment,
which is something rarely done by
the government, which prefers to
take its own risks.
FRISCO TO HAVE
A HOME SERVICE
SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.—The
merchants of this city have decided
that instead of sending north a pas
senger ship fro mthi scity to Nome
a freighter will be chartered to take
goods ordered here by northern mer
chants but that no effort will be
made to secure passenger business.
Upon investigation it was discov
ered that several cargoes of merch
andise can be sent from here at the
opening of navigation and it was then
determined that a freighter would be
sent from here instead of sending the
goods to Seattle for trans-shipment to
a Nome boaf at the Spirit City.
