k. r. Kendall, general manage* of
the American Van company is not op
tinustie regarding the future outlook
for the Alaskan fisheries unless a
more satisfactory system of fish prop
agation in the territorial waters is
adopted. Mr. Kendall declares einpha

being fished out. M‘* >a\s this atte

Tut- most important stop in tap.
Kendall's opinion to increase the sal

diatch to clean out the streams and
pi oteet the natural spawning grounds.
*‘l would like to >• e a mooting at Seat

With Capt. Kendall fish propagation
is a rolig on. He started preaching
years ago on the ( olumbia river

UKY SIMMFK OF IDLY MAY IIK
( YFSK OF LIGHT SALMON RUN
Manx of* those who have watched
th-* seasons and the fisheries industry
a. a matter of business for years be
lieve the short run of salmon in Al
aska this year is due largely to the
circumstance of a very dry season in
l!Mo. when the streams were so low
that the salmon could not ascend to
the spawning grounds. They call at
tention to the fact o* slides in the
Kraser river in 1017.
Then* was scarcely any rain in Al
aska in 101.’>. the weather contin ling
fine with bright sunny clays until late
in the fall, and the streams of south -
eastern Alaska contained very little
water. .Many of them were almost
o' quit.* dry, and salmon were unabh*
io asc md them.
It is the generally accepted theory
that salmon return to fresh water
when fo’i, years^of age to spawn and
be, and tin* fact that very few salmon
were able to jet up the streams to
the* spawning grounds in 101.7 is be
lieved to account for the* f;*rt< that
there were very few salmon haicned
that y«*a: to return this year.
The fart that the salmon run wa•
g neially a failure along the whole
roast of Alaska from Bristol Bav
on 11'•• north t<» the southermost ex
t* im ol tin* Territory and in British
(' dumb is pointed to as an argument
in favor of the theory that it was tin*
dry season of 1 f) 1 rather than over
fishing that caused tin* failure this
year. It is contended that if the fail
ure had not been due to some general
cause tin* run would have been good
