THE FISHERIES OF THE PACIFIC COAST.
Hy Wiu.iam a. Wilcox, Statialicat Agent, Untied iSUilea Commi»mnH of Fish and Fhherie»,
GENERAL REMARKS.
In tlie years 1888 and 1889 the writer conducted a personal canvass of the fisheries of the Pacitic ('oast of the Tnited States. Detailed statistics of the tishinj; industry wore obtained, and doscrii)tive notes on tlie history, apparatus, nnd methods of the fisheries, the abundance of the economic products, the flsliing grounds, etc., were secured. A report' embodying the results of that inquiry was published in the Report of the TTnited States Fisli Cominissi«)ner for 1888 and exten- sively distributed among tiie persons engaged in the fishing industry of that region.
In 1802 the rapidly growing importance of the various fisheries of the Pacific States, as determined by the investigations in 1888 and 1889, ai)pearc<l to warrant further attention, and, accordingly, in August of that year, the writer was again detailed for duty on that coast for the purpose of making another investigation of the commercial aspects of the fishing industry. The inquiries beg.an on Ihe C<»lunibia River and were extended over the entire coasts of Washington, Oregon, and Cali- fornia, the canvass being completed in iVFay. 189.'$. The ac(;ompanying report is based on the observations made and information gathered during that time. The detailed references to products, apparatus, methods, fishing-grounds, etc., in the previous report make unnecessary at this time any similar discussion. The text in the present paper is, therefore, intentianally brief, and is either explanatory of the statistics or is addressed to changes that have occurred in the industry since the last investigation.
The years intxjrveniiig between thetwoinve.sLigations will be recalled as those of more or less depression in nearly all kinds of business. A period of great commercial aijtivity was followed by a marked decline in most branches, and many of the young cities of the west coast that had been giving em])l()yment to thousands of laborers and mechanics found their growth for the time checked. A general depression in other lines of trade has often had a beneficial elfect on the fisheries. For lack

of other regular employ 'iient, men of Htnall means have turned to the fisheries and thus have not only found work, but have assisted in fur- nishing the masses with cheap and wholesome food at a time when this was sped illy needed. This was the case at a number of places in the Pacific Stiites during the later yetirs covered by this report.
The previous report on the fisheries of this region contained a number of sufjgestions for the improvement of the fisheries. Among these were the much-needed use of ice, the adoption of cold storage, and the better care of fish by fishermen and dealers. In most cases the desired reforms were as conspicuous for their absence in 1892 as in 1880. Fresh fish continue to be sent to the city markets as they con\e from the water, seldom being eviscerated; and only a small amount of ice, if any, is used on them during transportation. When the market fishermen adopt the custom, which is almost universal in the East, of dressing and icing their catch before shipment, an increased demand and better prices may be expected, to say nothing of the advantage which will come to the consumer through having more wholesome food.
As during the previous investigations, the inquiries of the Commis- sion were much fticilitated by the courtesy of railroad, steamboat, and express companies in permitting access to their records. The fishing and canning firms of the coast took great interest in the agenf s inqui- ries, and often extended much assistance, in addition to allowing the examination of records. The thanks of the Commission are due to the Ashing interests of the west coast and also to the members of the State fish commissions for courtesies extended.
The field ^ork on the Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Eel rivers and Monterey and San Francisco bays was ably assisted by Mr. A. B. Alexander, of the United States Fish Commission steamer Albatross.
CONDENSED STATISTIC? OF THE INDUSTRY.
The extent of the fisheries of the Pacific Coast in 1892 is shown in the following tables, the figures for California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska being separately given.
In the matter of persons engaged in the industry, California leads in the item of vesso' fishermen, Washington in shore or boat fishermen, and Oregon in shore emi>loyees, such as factory hands, although Alaska leads in the number of shoresmen when all its canneries are in operation.
The aggregate investment in the fisheries of Alaska is greater than elsewhere, owing to the relatively expensive canneries there located and the large amountof working capital required to operate them. Cali- fornia takes first rank in the number, value, and tonnage of vessels employed, and also in the numV)er of seines and gill nets used, but the seines in Washington and the gill nets in Oregon have a greater value. Oregon follows California in the amount of the general investment, and has important pound-net and wheel interests which are lacking else- where except in Washington.

CALIFORNIA.
(iKNKUAL IMPORTANCE AM) EXTENT OF THE INDUSTRY.
i
1 Tlu>. lislicrics of Ciilifornia are more iiiiportaiit uiul varied than those pt' any other west coa.st State, as (leterniined by the products taken, t'onsideriiif^- tlie entire eountry, the rank of Califorr ia as a fishing State Is si.xtli; in tlie value of its products it is surpassed only by Massachu- fetts, Maryhiiid, New York, Virjiinia, and >'ew Jersey. The growth of tiie industry of late years lias been marked, and the near future will ^loiibtless witness an advance in the relative position of California at the e.\|)ense <»f .several of the east coast States named. The possibilities ior the development of the inshore and ottshoro market lisheries aud i)f other branches are believed to be great.
: The special products which give to California the important rank it )iow occupies are oysters, shriini), crabs, whales, fur seals, and the general food-lishes of the coast; in the yield of all these it surpasses the i)ther States of this region. The salmon catch, while large as compared Avitli the other products of the State, is insignificant when the remainder i)f the region is considered. The State owes much of its prominence in this connection to the t^xtensive oftshore vessel fisheries carried on for whales, cod, fur seals, etc.. a branch of the industry which is of very small extent elsewhere on this coast.
The extent of the lisheries of this State in 1889, 1890, 1891, and 1892 is shown in the following tables, which relate, respectively, to persons V^mployed, capital invested, aud products takeu:

SHAD AND STiai'KD UASS.
Among the moat intere.^iinfj niid important iiilbrmation that may bo ]>re8eiited rej-ardin^ the tislieries of (^alitbrnia is that coiu-eniing the remarkable success attendiii}; the introduction of sliii,(l and striped bass in the waters of the State. While mu(!li has already be«'ii said and written on this subject, the foUowiii}; data, repre.se.iitint;' tlu^ per.sonal iiiqniriea of the writer, are thought to eontain some points of interest not before generally known.
Soon after the shad lirst began to be caught in the gill nets of the salmon fishermen of San Fraiu-isco Hay and Sacramento Kiver, the ti.sh were protected by State law, and the few exami)lcs oceasionally smug- gled into the San Francisco market sometimes brought the tlsherinen $5 apiece. The rapid increase of the lish, however, soon made it apiiar- ent that further protection was unnecessary, and, accordingly, in 1880 the restrictions on capture were removed. In the year named the lish were so abundant that at times they sold for 10 cents per pound. Jn 1892 the catch hjid become so large that the price at which the ll.sh were retailed in San FrancLsco was only 2 or '.\ cents per pound, two lish often being sold for 2.~» cents. At times the San Francis(!o Bay liahernien were able to .sell their catch at only 1 cent a pound. In other parts of the State, where only a small number of shad are taken incidentally during the salmon fishery, much higher prices are received in the local market.
The catch of shad in California waters is made chiefly in San I-'ran- Cisco Bay and Sacramento Kiver. Monterey Bay continues to be the southern limit on the coast at whi<;h sliad are found. More fish are taken on the north side of the bay by the Santa Cruz fishermen than elsewhere in that region. The mountain streams which enter the bay at Santa Cruz may be responsible for the presence of the shad only on that side of the bay. The fish is also taken in small numbers in all the

coast rivers north of San Francisco. Iii the vicinity of Sail Francisco the principal part of the sha<l yield is obtained between February and May, bnt the market ftshertnen of San Franci.sco take larger or smaller quantities during every month. San Francisco is tlie only city in the United States in the markets of whicli fresh shad just from the water may be found at any time in the year.
All of the shad taken in California are obtained with gill nets and haul seines used in other branches of the fisheries, no sjx'cial apparatus being used and no special attention being given to tlieir capture.
The following table is of interest as sliowing the rapid increase of shad during the comparatively few years which have elapsed since its introduction on the Pacific Coast. The fish have not only increased in numbers, but also show a gain in average weight and size whicli has been quite marked. While a few years ago tlie average weigiit was only 2A or 3 pounds, it is now somewhat over 4 pounds, and large numbers of specimens weighing 8 pounds or more are taken.

The striped bass of the Atlantic is justly das.sed as one of the best of the food-fishes of that coast. This fish was unknown on therjiciiic up to its introduction a few years since through the agency of the United States Fish C(mimissioii. During the past tour years it has steadily and largely increased in abundaiKic and size, apparently thriving as well in its new home on the I'a<'itic Coast as on the Atlantic seaboard. The principal catch is from about the (irst of Octobei- up to the middle of February, but a few are taken in all of the other months. Most of the fish fire obtained from the salmon gill nets fished in San Francisco Bay and its several arms, and near the month of the Sacramento Itiver.
The only apparatus used exclusively for striped bass are a few small purse seines. The seines are from 40 to 50 fathoms long, 3 fathoms deep, and cost $125 each. Each seine is operated by fonr fi.sii. -uien and two boats. The salmon gill nets, in which many bass are i-iwnd, are 200 to 250 fathoms long, 4i fathoms deep, with a 0 to OA inch mesh, and a value of $150 to $225 each. Most e^ the bass are taken in and near the mouth of the S.au Joaquin Itiver.
The spawning-grounds of tlie fish are located in ^Middle Kiver and Old Kiver, both arms of the San Joaquin, and only a few miles above its mouth. These rivers have sandy and grj' velly beds that are favorite

i of the best »n the Pacific gcncy of the years it has , appai-ently the Atlantic ■ October up of the other II nets fished nouth of the
[rounds for the striped bass during the spawning season. Many fish are taken from this section, but few, if any, are found further up the fean Joa(iuin Itiver.
i The striped bass seems to make its home between the entrance to the ilolden (iate and the short distance mentioned up the San Joaquin, a liistance of some 100 to 125 miles. It does not go up the Sacramento Jtiver much, if any, above its mouth, none being cauglit by Sacramento Jishermen near that city.
The strijied bass vary in weight from 3 to 25 pounds, in some cases j-eaching 35 to 40 pounds; the average is 8 to 12 pounds. With the increase of the abundance of the fish and the augmented catch, both the consumer and tlie fisherman have reaped benefits; tiie marked decrease in price tliat favored the one was more than made up to the fishermun in liis larger sales. Tlie average price received by the ftsher- nieu was 40 cents a pound in 1889, 25 cents in 1890, 20 cents in 1891, and m cents in 1892.
During the season of 1892, when fish were most abundant, the fisher- men received only 8 cents a pound, and again, in times of scarcity, as liigh as 20 cents a pound. During 1888 the few bass caught brought u dollar a pound in city markets; in 1892 the retail price was 20 to ^ ) cents a poun'l. The yearly catch has been as follows:

As compared with tlio last investigation, the fisheries of the moj southern (;onnty in (California show considerable tlnrtuation. Tl decrease in tlu^ j;eneral l)nildin;f trade had called toother sections| the State a lar«e number of men and their families, thus reducing tli honio demand for food-flsh, and cousetiuentiy curtailing tin; extent the Hsheries. Some attempts have recently been made to increase tii domestic and foreign trade in llsh, but these efforts were scarcely siil cient to retain the few fishermen emploj'ed. During 1892 a liniilJ quantity (»f fresh fish was shipped as far east as Denver, Colo., and oil carload, made np of crawfish (i. e., spiny lobsters), fresh fish, and 8alti| fish, was sent to Chicago and Philadelphia in a refrigerator car. It wa probably the first attempt to dispose of the abundant crawfish of tb west coast in tlu^ markets east of the Rocky Mountains. At the tiiiij of this exi)eriment the true lobsters were very scarce and of high pricf in the East, and tlie crawfish was regarded as a fair substitute au| met with a ready sale at good prices.
The yield of the fisheries of this county is nearly equally divide between fish consumed in a fresh condition an<l those cured. Tl aggregate amount offish i)roi)er taken in 1892 was somewhat less tliaj in 1881), as may be seen from the following comparison:

Both the dry and pickle cured tish are largely ex])orte(l to the Sand wich Islands. Five-eighths of the catch is taken by means of snialj vessels ranging in size from 7 to 1.") tons. These vessels in most casti frequent grounds south of San Diego. Sometimes, if tish are iitf found nearer, they resort to grounds 100 miles from the home portl The crew usually consists of three men, who employ hand and tioi lines. About three-eighths of the catch is obtained by small boat! fishing nearer the shore. The shore fishermen go out in the morniiii and return the same evening, fishing along the coast some 10 to ll miles south of San Diego, and about the same distance north lioij Point Loma, at the entrance to the harbor of San Diego.
Chinese junks were formerly much used by the Chinese fishermen San Diego County. In 1888 tiiirteen of various sizes were engaged iJ fishing. Year by year the Cliinese have been withdrawing from till business, deeming it too hazardous on account of the danger froiij seizure by the Mexican (lovernnient for illegal fishing, and the possij bility of not being permitted to reenter the United States. The .junlf fishermen, sailing under no liag, have been obliged to pay alien i)()i'J charges, which materially reduced the profits of the business. In

Ill the vessel fishery the same kinds of lines are emidoyed, iilthough
;lit instead of four are used by each craft. The lines are fished from ic sides of the vessels, being rigged on poles in a manner similar to that iiploycd in the mackerel fishery of the Atlantic coast many years ago.
Ill hand-lining the men use what may be designated a reverse trawl, it noticed elsewlu^-e in the United States. The line is from 100 to IHO tiiiiiiis long and is provided with li") to 50 hooks attiiched to gangings, liicii in turn are fastened to the main line at intervals of a foot apart,
ginning at the bottom. Tln^ hooks are baited with either fresh or ihed fish. Such lines are used from the sides of the vessels in from "» to 100 fathoms of water. The fishermen seem pleased with this rig, 1(1 conuneut on its superiority ovet other forms of lines. Having ropjied the line over the side of tiie vessel to tin; bottom, they have a riiigof baited hooks suspended thatattrac'^ 1he fish much morecfVect- t'ly than would be the case with a sin^. look or a scries of hooks
ranged on the ordinary trawl. As soon as the line reaches the bottom ic lisliermen begin to draw it in and the fish follow it toward the surface. t'tiii as many as half the hooks are found to have fish on them.
Tiie fishermen report no scarcity of fish on the grounds adjacent to It' Uay of San Diego, but few fish are uow caugiit inside of the bay, here fine fishing was formerly enjoyed. The city sewage and the uiiiping of city refuse and garbage just outside of the harbor have, in le opinion of the fishermen, prevented the fish from entering the bay.
In September, 1891, an experimental shipment of .■J,(i<)0 pounds of ickled fish was nmde to the Sandwich Islands. The fish met with

ORANGE COUNTY.
This is a county recently formed from psirts of Los Angeles and otin adjacent counties. The principal center is Newi)ort, which was fui raerly included in Loa Angeles County. The fisheries consist in t operations of a few fishermen located at Newjjort. The catch in iiS'J amounted to about 75,000 pounds, which was hauled in teams to San Ana, and sent thence by express to Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
The fisheries of this county present few changes in methods vm pared with the conditions fouiul in the previous investigation. Tliei has, however, been (juite an in<;rease in the extent of the industry, an it is probable that the next few years will witness a still further au| mentation. New and competing lines of railrctad have been opeiii up, freight rates have been reduced, and now fishing stations have bee established. The centers in this county from which commercial tisliiii is now prosecuted are Kedondo Beach, Balloua, St nta Monica, J.oii Beach, San Pedro, and AVilmington
Redondo Beach, located 22 miles from Los Angeles, was first readit by railroad in November, 1881). Previous to the construction of tli road the few flshermeu at this point sent their catch by teams to h Angeles. A marked increase in the important fisheries has ensiii since the establishment of rail communication with Los Angeles, tl catch being 51,700 pounds in 1889, and 181 ,9()5 pounds in 1892. Fishii

tt'iisive curing of fish. The business consisted chiefly in pickling
ickerel and barracuda and in packing sardines in kegs and small

Los .\ngeles, the principal (ioinmunity in the county, has no fisheriej but is the chief distributing-poiut for fishery ]>ro'lu(!ts caught in t waters of the county and consumed in many of the interior town.s southern California. Nearly all the fresh fish shipped from the diff"er fishing stations of the county i« sent by rail or team to the wholes; and retail dealers of Los Ar.geles. A stmiewhat unusual feature of tl business is the contracting y the dealers for ail the fish caught: the flshcrnu'ii at a uiiiforii p.' e per pound, usually 4 cents, regardle of the diii'eipiit species. Dealers in Los Angeles are experimentinj,' tlie smoking, ])ickling, and canning of several of the desirable ih fishes fo'iud on the coast of tlie county. Tlie barracuda have Ikhi .smoked and pronounced by experts e(|ual to finnan haddies, of Mlikj considerable quantities were ]»reviously imported from the Hast. Tu bull's-eye mackerel has been ])ickled to some extent; this is a. vi' good food-fish in a fresh ('ondition, but owing to the deficiency of ti ill its fiesii it does not make a satisfactory pickled fish.
Some sardines of excellent (|unlity have been packed in oil, mustar and other ways common to the trade. In the vicinity of San Fed and Santa Catalina Island, sardines are, in their season, found in lai quiintities. During February, .Afarch, and April of each year sin: sardines are usually abundant and in fine condition for canning, May and June the larger sardines arrive and appear to crowd out t fish of smaller size. In July and August the large fish withdraw ai the small fisli again l)ec()me plentit'iil. Up to August the fish :ire };t' erally in One condition, but after tliiit date at times the small I'sli ii« usually of poor quality for canning. The larger sardines found in tliW part of the State are somewhat smaller in size than those occurriiijrBsliind.s of i San Franci.sco Bay, being of the size most suitable for ijackin-; willed is (pii half-pound <!ans in must.ird and s[»ices.

VENTURA COUNTY.
Ix'ss than half a dozen fishermen, with head<iuarters at Ventura, lepreseiit the lishing industry of this county. Fish are abuiulant, 1ml the lishing business could no doubt be largely increased with profit ^» tli(! producer and benetifc to the people of the interior, but at the [resent time the entire catch is used locally. A branch of the Southern
icilic Eailroad connects Ventura with Los Angeles. Within compar- Itively few years this section of the State has rajndly developed and (lie valleys have becux .settled by fiirmers an<l fruit-growers.
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.
'I'lie fl.sheries of tliis county aie prosecuted from Santa Barbara and
ic adjacent islands, and present few new features as compared with isss. The branches of the fishing industry here followed are the
iikiiig of the shore food-fishes, the hunting of sea otters and sea lions, ^11(1 the utilization of abalones and alga-.
Fish are abundant at all seasons and the weather is mild and favor- |ibl(! for fi.shmg throughout the year. The extent of the fisheries is, powcver, quite limited and does not to any extent rei)resent the [('sources of the county. The f<'W Hshermen here, mainly Austrians jiiil Chinese, make a good living with little exertion, carrying <ui their pusiness only when the weather is perfect and tiiey are so disposed.
lost of the catch is consumed locally, the demand being considerable
luiiig the winter months, when thousands of visitors and tourists are
louiid in this section. In summer but small (piantitics of fish are taken.
Three camps of fishermen and sea-lion hunters are located on the
Islands of Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa, the fishermen ])eing Americans
\\\(\ Chinese. The former give attention to sea lions and sea otters,
rliile the Chinese take most of the algse and abalones, and prepare the Jry fish whi(;h are export;"!
Sea lions are taken at S;ui Miguel and Flea Islands and on Kichard- kon's Ivock. They are h tuted for their oil, which brings about 40 cents per gallon, and their hides, which are worth about 4 cents per pound.
riic skins are tanned and make serviceable leatlnr. Many of the sea lions are of large size. Of late years there has been ([uite a demand for live si)ecimens to be placed in public parks and gardens in some of [lie eastern cities, ami a considerable nund)er have also been shipped
live to l']urope. In 18!H, 34 sea lions, weigh ii;^ ;>,.")S(» pounds, were
liipjicd cast from this county, and in the following year 17, weighing ^i, 17(t pounds, were so disposed of. Tlie sea lions sought for their oil Jnil liides are killed by means of guns, while those captured alive are

Compared with the extent of the fisheries shown in the jirevioul report the fishing industry of this county hns undergone a .sliglj increase, as gauged by the quantity and value of the products takea Port Harford, with the steamboat and railroad (!onnections, is the niol important of the several fishing stations of the county, the otiieif being located at Morro and Cazucos, 15 and lil miles, respectiv('l| north of Port Harford, and at San Simeon, a shore whaling statio some 20 miles farther north.
The catch of food-fish in 1892 was unusually light, owing to scarcitj of mackerel and barracuda ; the (!at(!h of the former at Port Harforj was 105,0(t0 pounds in 1801 and only 7,300 pounds in 1802, the catch ( barracuda falling off from 50,000 pounds to 750 pounds.
In <!]ose proximity to Port Harford are Pecho Kock and Lion lioclj which are favorite resorts for a large number of sea lions, Avhicli aij hunted for their pelts and oil. The extent of this branch of the tislj eries in the years 1800, 1801, and 1892 was as follows:

SANTA CIIUZ COUNTY.
The fisheries of Santa Cruz County present no new features as l<>iiil)ared with thj) conditions recorded in the last report. The quan- [ity of fish taken shows a small iucrea.se each year, but the industry Jiiiy be regarded as only imperfectly developed. Shad are found along llie coast of this county, but do not apjiear to be undergoing the marked krease in numbers which is witnessed in the more northern counties K the State. In 18«9 20,000 pou ids were taken, and in 1892 the iitcli was 3."),000 pounds. Salmon are also caught in limited qiianti- |ie.sea(;h year. The few fresh-water streams entering the ocean on this biirt of the coast probably accounts for the small increase in shad aiul

SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY AND VICINITY.
By far the most extensive fisheries of California are located at Sail Francisco, which has the distinction of being the most important tislil ing center on the Pacific Coast of North America. Besides maintainiii| valuable fisheries, the city is the ])rincii)al marivet for the product uj nearly every county in the State and is in very close relation with tlifj adjacent counties of Contra Costa, Solano, Sonoma, and Marin.
The branches wiiich give prominence to this region are the generai market fisheries of San Francisco I>ay and tributaries and of tba adjacent ocean, the cod fishery, tlie whale fishery, the fur-seal and seiij otter fishery, the oyster industry, and the Chinese fisheries. ThesJ have been so fully described in the previous report that it is only netj essary at this time to record their extent and the few changes whicM have ensued.
PHYSICAI, FEATinElS OK SAN FHANCISCO HAY AND TKIHUTABIE8.
A large part of the salt-water and fresh-water fish received in San Fraucisco is taken in San Francisco Hay and its tributary bays am streams. Tiiis inland water area is of large extent and well adapted t^ the support of a large amount and \'ariety of animal life. The (juanl it) of fishery pioducts annually withdrawn from these waters is enormous.! but it is doubtful if tlie full resources are utilized or appreciated.
In a general way the dimensions of San Francisco Bay and tlid smaller bay.s connected therewith may be stated as follows: Fr()iii| the southern end of San Franci.sco Bay, bordering on Santa Clara County, to San l^ancisco is a distance of 25 miles, the width of the biiyl being from 2 to 10 miles. Between San Francisco and the entraiict' of San Pablo Bay the distance is 11 miles; San Pablo Bay is 10 uiilJ long and from 8 to 10 miles wide. Kanpiines Strait, which connecti San Pablo Bay with Suisun Bay, is 8 miles long and A to 1 mile wide' Suisun Bay is 10 miles long and from i to 0 miles wide. The tola! length of these connected waters is about 70 miles.
At the northern end of Suisun Bay, in Solano County, the two largest! rivers in the State have their outlets. A peculiar feature of theJ rivers, probably not found elsewhere in the United States, is the relaf tion existing between their respective sources and outlets. The San|

i(ia(|uin takes it rise in the seinitropical section of the soutliern part tlic State, and flows northward hundreds of miles through a warm Liidii, The Sacramento, with its head waters among- the perpetually mow covered Sierra Nevada Mountains, flows south many hundred lili's, and, through numerous passages, mingles with the San Joaquin liid is lost in the tide waters of tiie bay. These two streams constantly jiiiry with them a large amount of minute animal and vegetable life, juH li of which must find a congenial home in San Francisco Bay and luuisli a large and varied quantity of food for the fish life of the fresh, |iii('kish, and salt waters.
Another interesting feature of the bay is the almost uniform temper-
[tiire of the water, there being only a few degrees variation at any
I'asoii of the year. That the conditions arc extremely favorable to
iic support of aquatic life is demonstrated in the rapid increase and
icniianent residence of the several fine food-flshes introduced from the
Ltlantic Coast by the Government. Some of the fishes thus acclima-
h.M are naturally anadromous, but in San Francisco Bay, contrary
|o their usually migratory habits, they do not appear to have any
]esire to spend much if any of their existence in the ocean.
Another feature which has its influence upon the quantity of animal Stc present in San Francisco Bay is the absence of fishing banks or liibiiierged chains of mountains oflf the coast of California adjacent to llic Golden Gate. Fishing-grounds such as are found off the coast If tlie Atlantic States do not oc^cur within many hundred miles of the [iilitbrnia coast. It may therefore be assumed that during very stormy (oatlier numbers of the near-shore marine fishes would seek food and lliclter inside the Golden Gate, where, finding favorable conditions, jiaiiy remain.
THE MARKKT FISIIEUIKS.
Tlie fresh-fish business of San Francisco jiresents few changes or iiiprovements. Fish are handled in the same jnimitive manner often ^osciibed and always noticed by everyone that takes any interest in iisitiiifi the fish markets. The fish are seldom dressed and but a small kinount of ice is use<l. Several of the dealers united as one company luring 189li and have made quite an imiirovenient in having larger and lime inviting quarters in which to transact their business. Six days pi tlie week, every week in the year, with the exceiition of a few stormy iiys, the little lateen-rigged fishing boats sail out in the morning for [lie same fishing-grounds, witii the same kind of fishing gear, nets, or liawls; with little trouble they catch the same varieties of fish, and the Ivtniiig finds them back in their fishing dock.
The use of steamers, recommended in a previous report, in place of i;iil vessels is slowly taking place. The first steamer to engage in the ^iaik»>t fisheries began work in or about 1885. This vessel was a tug liat combined towing part of the time with fishing, when not other- Kise engaged. During ISOl seveial of the wholesale firms united and Idded two steamers to the business, and in 1892 one more was added,
198 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.
making four steam vessels then in the mtu^ket flsliery. Some of thesi steamers are continually engaged in the fishing business, and at mosi times all four of them are. They leave the tishing dock early even morning, except Saturday, which i,^ their day of rest, made so from tlif] next day being Sunday, in which they could not dispose of their catcli as they return in the evening of the same day they leave. The steanu'D: leave the fishing dock and soon pass out through the (lolden Gati':.| turning north, a run of a few hours brings them to their usual tishiii};J grounds in Drake Bay, where the paranzella or drag net is soon in tlit water, and the steamer slowly drags it along the bottom until it ii| thought best to reel it in, empty the catch, and repeat the operation.
The steamer's crew consists of captain, engineer, fireman, and four| to six fishermen, who are hired by the inontii.
The catch consists mostly of flounders and the numerous varieties oj flatfish, with a small amount of many other kinds of bottom flsh, soinfe of whicii are saved and others thrown overboard quite likely to l)t| recaught the following day, as nearly the same fishing-ground is goiib over day after day, and generally the (;atch is equally good. <
One good result of the use of steamers is that the catch can alwiiysj be landed fresh and only a few hours at most from the time the fistj were freely swimming in the ocean.
The many varieties of salt-water fish caught by the market fisher-' men outside of the Golden Gate have as a general thing been of at; average abundance and ample for the needs of the market. Of the anadromous fishes, shad and striped bass iiave wonderfully increaset in the market. The price of the latter has fallen from 75 cents or $\ pound, which was ft'eely i)aid in 1889, to 10 to 15 cents a pound in ISOis Shad, Avhich a few years after their introduction brought $5 each, hav6 year by year largely increased in numbers, and *'.ie price has fallen it- the market as low as 25 cents for two fish, or about 3 cents a pound, tlit; fishermen often receiving as little as a cent a ])ound. Salmon have iij few instances been very i)lentiful, but the season's catches on the wliolt have not been satisfactory. The tables by counties will show the cat( : of these and all other species for the past four years.
A conspicuous part of the fresh-fish sni)ply of San Francisco is takd in San Francisco Bay and the adjoining bays to the north. Betwem San Francisco and the southern end of the bay the principal fisherie.''i carried on are for oysters, shrimp, herring, and smelt. At the extrenit end, and for a few niles above on each side, are the only cultivatci:| oyster beds in the State. These embrace several hundred acres. A many places in San Francisco Bay may be found the remains of nativf oyster beds in the shape of very small shells. Where native oyster are found alive their size is too small to render them of any commercini value. Investigations made by the United States Fish Commissimi disclosed the existence of a number of these native oyster beds tlia'l were not previously known, most of wliich Avere south of San Fraii; Cisco, although a few were in the vicinity of San Pablo Bay.

Xcxt in inii)ortance to the oyster industry is the shrimp fishery liinicd on by the (Chinese. At several points on the west side of the loiithcrn part of the bay are located extensive camps of the Chinese Islicrinen, while in close proximity to tiieir cami»s ahmg the borders ){' the bay and as far out as the main channel may be seen hundreds if their shrimp nets fastened to stakes.
Fntm the middle of January to the middle of June smelt are more or
■ss abundant and taken with nets along the west shore and along the border of the channel, •""rom November to February herring and smelt lie netted on the east side of tiie bay. From San Francisco to a dis- jjiiice 5 miles south smelt are caught during Jidy and August, and a (liort distance south on the oast side <tf the bay smelt and herring are fimid in December and .January.
Tiie foregoing comprise all of the principal fishing done within that biut of the bay south of San Francisco. Jnst inside the (lolden Gate luimitive traps to the number of several hundred are fished for crabs. riie first of the winter catcdi of herring is taken in Richardson Hay forth (,f the Golden Gate, in which is h)cated one of the large stations or tiie receiving and curing of cod. Another important station con- kccted with the cod fishery is found a few railes distant on the main bay, tliese comprising all the firms that are engaged in the cod fishery If California. From the harbor of San Francisco to the upper extrem- tyof Suisun Bay salmon, shad, and striped bass are netted from April » tiie middle of September, the i)riucipal part of the rnn of fish being liikeii in or near the channel. On each side of the entrance to S.an I'ablo Bay the Chinese fishermen, whose operations were fully noticed
the previous report, continue to have their camps and follow their ^iiliortant fisheries for shrimp and tl;'3 smaller species of bottom fish. )ii the west side of San Pablo Bay sturgeon and fiounders are taken |)et\veen February and May,
Tlio fisheries of Suisun Bay arc limited to the taking of salmon, ^had, and striped bass.
THE PACIFIC COD FISHERY.
Tiiis branch of the Pacific fisheries is making history, although in laiiy resjK'cts differing from the much older one of the Atlantic. Since the landing of the first cargo in 1804, up to 1893, the few firms tiiRaged in the catching and curing of codfish have seen many fluctua- tions and changes in the business. The increase which the industry lias undergone has only been reached by seeking the widely separated iikI distant markets of the Atlantic Coast, the Sandwich Islands, and k^ustralia. Changes have taken ])lace in the mode of preparing the fish for market. A small amount is yet called for in the old style, hard iried with skin on and tied up in bundles of 75 to 100 pounds j but

most of tlio llsh iiftor curiiij,' arc stripjjed »»t' their skins, cut up, an| packed lus boiiele.s.s lisli. Tiiis iiiodcni way of jiiaciiij,' cod on the inarkw has been most favorably received in Australia, where the AincriciiJ boneless cod has nearly driven the hard cured ''stock fish" of nortlieil Europe from the market.
Changes are taking place in tho grounds resorted to by fisherniorJ The distant Okhotsk Sea and far eastern waters, where attention \v;i( first called to tlie cod of the Pacific, have nearly been abandoned 1)| American fishermen for the nearer home fishing- grounds of Beriii Sea, and the vessel fisheries of the hitter are giving way to tho estiil lishmcnt of permanent fishing stations on the islands bordering BeriiiiS Sea. Both American and native fishermen remain at these statioii| and fish on the adjacent banks, wliich are (luickly and easily reaclie by small boats. The fares are soon taken, and on returning to tlif station the fish are dressed, salted, and ])acked away until vessels froa San Francisco arrive. These bring salt for curing and sui)plies for m men, and return with U)ads of lvench-(!ured fish to be unloaded at till home station, and there prepared as boneless cod.
Firms at Sau Francisco engaged in the cod fishery have branch staj tions at the following points on the Shumagin Islands: Sand Point] lied Cove, Comi)any Harbor, Scpiaw Harbor, Hvaluk, Chichagof liayj Henderson Island, IJnga Island, Nelson Islainl, Pirate Cove, Saubora Rasatska, Johnson's Harbor, and Port Stanley.
The San Francisco cod fleet in Okhotsk Sea in 1889 and 1890 coni sisted of two brigs of (518 tons, whose aggregate catch was 1,168,4* pounds and 1,123,911 pounds, respectively. During 1891 no Americaij cod vessels visited ihat region. In 1892 a three-masted schooner 369 tons took 516,000 pounds of cod.
The extent of the Bering Sea cod fishery carried o?i by San Francis( vessels during the four years b(!ginning 1889 was as follows, two snial] schooners being employed in transporting the catch:

NCs.sels going to Okliotsk Sea on cod-ll«liiiig trips usually leave San [liuicisco about May 1 and return home by the latter part of Soptem- II. The .start for Bering Sea is made early in April and the home port

THK I'KI.AIilC KIJU-SEAI. AND SEA-OTrKH FISIIKIIV.
The high price commanded by seal pelts in recent years and the [liiio.st fabulous sums received for the sea-otter skins, incidentally btained in the same fisuery, have resulted in a marked increase in this [)iaiich of the San Francisco fisheries. The size of the fleet increased '(iiii six vessels in 1881) to eighteen in 1892, with a corresponding (idvaiice in the yield of fur seals, although the number of otters killed las ill almost inverse ratio to the size of the fleet.
lu addition to the home fleet, vessels from Oregon and Washington
hiiie to San Francisco for outfits and crews. Early in January the
pi'.sscls are busy making ready, and by the middle of February all have
iuilcd. On leaving San Francisco on a sealing trip vessels usually go
but a .short distance, some 50 miles west or southwest, before the hunt-
i,u begins. Sometimes the day after leaving port seals are fallen in
|vitli, (juite a catch is made, and the vessels will be back in port, having
bct'ii away less than forty-eight hours. The first to sail in 18!)2 left
)<'teiiiber 28, and returned January 20, 1803, with 207 skins. Again,
|ii>t meeting with the moving herds, a vessel will cruise along the
FiMitliein coast or to the southwest for a few hundred miles, and then,
iitading to the north, will work up the coast. The business is at the
'M's\ quite uncertain. Some vessels at the close of the season have a
fine balance, others little, if anything, and may show (|uitc a loss.
The scaling crews as a rule ship on a lay or share, winch varies some- what with the difl'erent vessels. The captain usually has a i)rivate yroement at so much a mouth, with or without a share or percentage. riH' tirst mate receives one-fifteenth of the stock or $Gr» a month, or $10
month and 40 cents for each seal taken by the boat he is in. The Ist'iond mate, if by the month, gets $30 to $45. The cook and steward, poiubiiied in one, is paid $45 to $50 a month. The cabin boy receives

Probably no other business on the Pacific Coast vitli anything liktl the capital invested is foUowed with the uncertainty of the Arctic wlial(| fishery.

THK OY8TEU INOUSTUY.
The oyster industry (teiitering at San Francisco is one of the inosll important branches of the lisliing industry of California. San Fraii:| Cisco firms, with extensive beds of native and eastern oysters in 8iii| Francisco Bay, are tlic only phmteis of oysters in California. I'mi" fall and spring svad oy.stcrs in car-load lots are brought from tk Atlantic Coast and planted in the bay. 8oiue years as many as 100 ciii loads, averaging 90 barrels of seed oysters each, are transplanted, il limited amount of tlie small sized native oysters arc; also brought tinnil beds in Washington. The latter are planted solely to keep them tn'^l and near at hand when desired. If it were not for thi^ constant pliiiit| ing of seed oysters the beds would soon be exliausted, the uatm'a| propagation not keeping up with the demand.

Seed oysters brouglit IVoiii the Atlantic remain on the beds from
nee to four years, daring which time they grow to the average size of iic oyster of like age on tlie Atlantic. The original llavor is retained, Itliougli ])lanted on the same beds with the natives of Wa.shington, rhicli are widely known for their small size and i)eeuliar strong co])i)er javor. which they retain when bronght and planlod in ('alifornia.
Ten simdl .sailing vessels are engaged in transporting the oysters, k* needed, from the beds to San Francisco. On arriving at the city, lie hulk of the oysters groivn from Atlantic seed are opened, canned, lii(| i)a('ked in ice, and are known to the trade as eastern oysters. [licy arc distribnted all o ^r the west coast, meeting those from the jtlaiitic at Denver, Colo.
Ill addition to the opening and canning of eastern oysters, consider- tlilc business is done in Hni)plyii'g the large city demand for oysters in Ik; slicll. ]>()tli the eastern and native oysters siiow an improvement jiiriiig the past few years; they have larger siiell, jdnmjjer meat, and
hotter ilavor. The only noteworthy I'eatuie since the more detailed ?l)oit of 1880 is a slow but steady growth in the business.
Tlicre is room for an increase in the business, but to accomplish this |i(' industry, as at present carried on, will reipiire large capital, and pvcral years would ehipse before the seed would grow and returns be
cpcctcd. The freight on the seed from tlie Atlantic is a large item li tlie expense of the business. Firms now engaged are reported as loldiiig several thousand acres of ground adaptable for oyster-culture, |iit not so used.
Tlie extent of the oyster industry of San Francis(!o during the years
5S!i to 1802, inclusive, is shown in the following tables. The persons hnployed at the beds (10."> in number) and on shore and the capital [ovoted to the business were the same each year.

208 EEPORT OF COMMISSIONER OP FISH AND FISHERIES.
SARDINE CANNING.
This brancliof the fishing industry is yet in its infancy on the Pacifii Coast. The Golden Gate Packing Company, of Sau Francisco, estal^ h'shed in 1890, had up to 1892 the only sardine cannery on the coa«j Sardines and anchovies are utilized. Those of small size were packei in oil in the usual quarter-pound cans; the larger tish were put u|) round cans holding 1 and 2 pounds. The goods were of flue qualit| and met with a ready sale, but the quantity prepared was small, number of causes, chief of which was the failure of sardines to ciit| Sau Francisco Bay in sufficient quantities, limited the pack and cans a suspension of the business in 1893, when the cannery was sold n removed to Los Angeles County, where sardines were reported to be| greater abundance. Of late years sardines have been very erratic i their appearance in San Francisco Bay. One year the fish for weetj at a time would be extremely i)lentiful, while during the next seasd they would scarcely be found at all. The quantities of flsh packa during the three years 1890, 1891, and 1892 were as follows, 100 of ti quarter-pound cans, 48 of the l-i)ouud cans, and 24 of the 2-pound caij being contained in each case :

THE FISH TRADK Ol' SAN FUANCISCO.
The fresh-fish markets of San Francisco are interesting and in soul respects unique. In them one may buy a single pound of fish or a el load, both wholesale and retail business being carried on at the siiii| stand. About 12,000,000 pounds of fresh fish are handled annua exclusive of those in the Chinese markets. Large quantities of oy.stt'r| clams, mussels, shrimp, and crabs are also sold.
The fish are received daily from the adjacent fishing-grounds visitei by the home fishermen, and from the interior waters and coast towns ij rail and steamship lines. The fre.sh and salt waters of the State aii rich in quantity and variety of animal life, and fishery products fM| all over the State find their way to this market. It is said that cvfl 275 species of fish are found in the waters of the State, although iiiacj of these are not used as food, except by the frugal Chinese, who rarel| permit anything to go to waste.

The (i.slieries of this, the most southern counry of the State, continue Ito be ('(iiitined to the taking' of salmon, althouifh other anadromous jspt'cie.s are, in their season, found entering some of the rivers, while iDiiiiit'ioiis other fish are found in the ocean just outside tlie mouths of Itlie streams. The live rivers of the county in wliich ('ommercial tishiiig lis imt.seciited (Rogue, Windchuck, Chelco, Sikhs, and Elk) have been |de.scribi'(l in a former report.

Uixjue River. — This, next to the Columbia, is the largest and longest
lioast river iu Oregon. It has spring and fall runs of chinook salmon,
|i'iul its fisheries continue of great importance. The catch of salmon
shows considerable Huctuation, which is, '\\\ a n'easure, dependent on
'lit' aiiKmnt of artilicial i>ropagation carried on at the private hatchery
|uu the river. The marked decrease in the yield iu 1892 was thought

to be due to some unknown natural rsiuses. The catch representsl about the productive capacity of the river and, as it is all used for can [ niug, a statement of tbe salmon pack will siiow the abundance uf tliel tisli.

Salmon fishing on tbe Rogue River is limited by State law; tbe openl season is from April 1 to November 15. By far the largest part of tlml catch is made during what is known as the spring run, between Aiirill 1 and .Tune 30.

The tlsh sold fresli were sent to a salmon cannery on Smith Kiver,L California. In 1SS9 and 1892, when that cannery was idle, the catch wasj much reduced and had to be salted owing to lack of a market andl absence of facilities for shipping. The few fishermen living on tbisi small but beautiful stream take much interest in the fisheries, and inl their primitive way have made some attempts at jn-opagatiug siilmou.T
Chetko River. — This small stream has its mouth near the State line! of California and Oregon. Twelve fishermen, usinj^ two haul seiues, represent the full extent of the fisheries. In September cbinookj salmon are taken, and in October the run consists mostly of silvorl salmon. When the cannery on Smith River is open, most of the catdij finds a market there, otherwise it must be salted. The quantity of tliej catch in 1889 to 1892, iiiclu.sive, was as follows:

The river has only a small run of sal- II, and is so inconveniently situated that its tlsheries will probably leviT have very much importance. In recent years the catch of the luicliers has amounted to only about 50 barrels of salt lish. In 1889 a laiiiiciy w-as established in connection with a steam sawmill at the

Seaottcr hunting. — In 1891 the high iirice of sea-otter pelts led to llie formation of two bands of hunters in Curry County. Twelve men, Iriiied with rifles and using two sail and three row boats, skirted the hist from Cape Blanco 'o Rogue Kiver, weather permitting, during
laroU and April and August and September. At night the men camp Jat some desirable point. Some of their camping stations are located par Jiiyh bluffs that have a fringe of timber along the ridge overlook- h'i the sea. Such a spot near the feeding-grounds of the otter is a pvoritc place for a camp, for in the branches of some tall pine the pimter has his lookout station. A few boughs are chopped off and
Made into a comfortable resting-place up among the branches, and here joiie of the hunters will lie for hours, concealed by the thick foliage jfrom view of shore or sea animal. His lofty location gives him an luiiiiiterrupted sea view for miles. His boat is close at hand. In case pu otter shows u^) within range of a rifle, it is shot, and the hunter or

coos COUNTY.
When contrasted with the last investigation, the fisheries of tiiis county present few new features. Co(piille liiver and Coos lliver iiiid Bay are tlie lisliing-groiiiids. The only catch of the rivers is salmon. A little more attention is given to the bay tisheries near liaiidon and | Kmpire City, where .some halibut, perch, and cultiis cod are taken; these tish, with tlounders and other varieties of salt-water flsli, are found abundantly, but the demand is limited to local use aud only small (plant ities are taken.
Cufpiille Hirer. — Owing to a number of causes the fisheries of the I Coipiille have n(tt been I'p to the average during the past few years. Only one cannery was packing during 1889, 1891, and 1892, and none during 1890. Tiie run of tish was good in 1889, and the single caiiiieiy[ in operation pa<'ked 9,115 cases, of which one-sixth were chinook ami five sixths silver salmon; 50 barrels were also salted. The lisheruu'iil received 50 cents each for chinook and .'50 cents each for silver .salmon. Prices of canned salmon were low during tiie fall and winter, and fjavej little encouragement to canners; in consequence, during 1890, fortiii'j first season in a number of years, no salmon were cauned on the river. A light catch was made and 200 barrels were salted. lu 1891 tlic oncj cannery once more packed, but the run was light aud only 2,08-1 cases were canned and 150 barrels salted, the flshermeii receiving 25 cenlsj each for chinook aud 15 cents for silver salmon. In 1892 salmon werej very abundant, more so than for a number of years. The run ot'tbel previous year having been so light, a large run was not expected and! prejiarations had only been made for a small pack. The result of tliej year's work was 1,500 cases. On account of a scarcity of cans the sur-I plus catch was salted, and 650 barrels were thus prepared. The (islierj men received 35 cents each for chinook and 20 cents for silver saliiioul the catch consisting of one-eighth chinook and seven-eighths silveij salmon.

UOITOLAS COUNTY (I'MPQUAII RTVKR).
Tlio flshinff business of Doufflas County is confined to the TTnipquah
liivcr, and the catch consists only of salmon. Numerous other lish,
however, come in from the ocean, anionp: which are herring, sardines,
jsniflt, and Just outside the mouth of the river are halibut, cultus-cod,
tldiiiiders, and rockiish. The section is remote from railroad or steam-
lioat lines, and no attention is given to any tish except salmon, the
Iratcli of which is utilized at a cannery at (iardncr. In ISSO a {>ood run
of sidmon entered the IJmpciuah Kiver. The lishermen disposed of
their entire catch at the cannery at (rardner, near the month of the
river, receiving 45 cents each for chinook salmon suid lia cents each for
silver salmon. The cannery packed 11,500 cases. From some unknown
fiuisc very few salmon entered the river in 1«90 or 1891, during which
years the cannery remained closed. Only enough fish to sui)ply the
local demand were taken, the catch being 20,000 jjounds in 1800 and
L'L'.OOO pounds in 1891. During 1892 salmon entered the river in fjfreat
abimdance, and the run in September was very heavy. The pack was
only limited by the number of cans on hand and couhl have been
Idouhled with proi)er fa<!ilities. As it was, 12,280 cases were i)ackeil.
iTlie lishermen received 25 cents each for chinook and 15 cents each for
hilver salmon, the latter constituting the bulk of the catch. No salmon
Iffas salted during the years mentioned.
LANE COUNTY (SIUSLAAV UIVER).
The fisheries of Lane County are confined to the Siuslaw Kiver and Itlieeatch consists only of salmon for canning purposes. This river is Itlie dividing line between Lane and liouglas counties. One cannery, jlwated at Florence, near the mouth of the river, was in operation in |lw!), 1890, 1891, and 1892; o;ie other cannery, 2 miles above, was idle jiliiriiiif the first three years mentioned, but wsis run in 1892. The pinion pack during these years was 11,189 cases in 1889; 4,077 cases |iDKS<i(); 2,121 cases in 1891, and 18,290 cases in 1892.
It will be noticed by the amount packed that the run of fish is Imit'ertain. in common with the()ther rivers of this State, salmon were l^iy abundant during the fall of 1889, but only a few entered the |«treiin) in 1890 and 1891. In the fall of 1892 the run was again heavy

BENTON OOrNTV.
This comparatively small county has two rivers whose fisheries arc of considerable prominence, namely, the Alseya and the Ya<|Uiiia. Each of these near its inoiitli expands into a long, narrow bay, wliirli takes the name of its respective river. Outsid'? the rivers tiie lislicrb are of no importance, although there is an abundance of sail water tisli on the outlying banks in tin; near vicinity.
Alseya River. — The run of salmon on this stream was (|uite hirjjiMii 1889, and 0,000 cases and 5() barrels were packed at th«' only <'aiiiim in operation. Prices of canned salmon ruled low, and on tliat account and the poor prospects for satisfactory results the cannery was idle during the following year. Fish were scarce in 1890; the cannery \\ii< closed, and besides a few salmon taken for local use only r»0 banols were salted and 0,000 pounds shipi)ed fresh to Portland. In 1H9I tlif lisb were not abundant, and only 3,o00 cases were canned, .W baml; salted, and 10,000 pounds shipped away fresh. In 1802 a very lar):f run of salmon entered the river for the first time in three years, Tlie canners, not looking for the great increase, were prepared for only a light catch, and were obliged to close down early in the seasf^v as soon as all the cans had been filled. At the time the river wp,- ' ;ited by the writer, on October 8, 1892, it was full of salmon, but no lis' »ng was carried on. With only a limited number of cans to tiil and ;< hwf run of fish to draw from, the fish packed co.iSisted almo.^t c lin'lyo( chinooks, althongh, as in the other coast rivers, silver >;'.linon coin- prised fully three-fourths of the run.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY.
This county has a froutage of over ."50 miles on the l'acili(5 Ocean and is traversed by a nuniber of rivers, chief among which are the Silctz, Nestuggah, Tillamook, and Nchalem, the latter forming the boundary between Tillamook and Clatsop counties. TheJsestuggah and Tillamook rivers empty into bays of the same name. The lisheries of the county are restricted to the capture of salmon, which enter the rivers in liuge quantities during the fall months. The relative abundance of chinook salmon in the streams of this county is greater than farther south. Some seasons the catch of chinooks will be fnliy ecjual in weight to that of silver salmon; at other times, as in the year 1892, the catch is ofteu three-fourths silver salmon. Both fish run in greatest abundance about the same time, although the chiuooks are the lirst to arrive, during August, while the silver salmon come in September. The movement of both species is over in November, when the lishing operations I'vu^t. A few fish continue to enter the river in the winter, in company with very large numbers of steelheads, but no attention is i)aid to them.
The entire salmon catch of Tillamook River is utilized at a cannery located near the month of that stream. The number of cases packed during each of the four years 1889 to I.S92 were as follows:

THE COLUMBIA RIVER.
Tlio fi.sheriesof this river are more extensive than those of any other Itioaiii in tlie Uiiiteil States, and the canning industry dei»eudciit liercon is more impcu'tant than any other similar business connected jitli the fisheries. 1 i\e annual output of lish in the Columbia liiver is jreater than from any other river in the country, and no other stream p ill the aggregate yielded such large quantities of fish. I Tin' importance of the fishing industry of this river and the increased |t(iition now being given to its condition warrant and make desirable lie cunsiderjvtion of the stream sis a unit, regardless of the separate Iteio.sts of the two States whose boundary it forms and whose fi.sheries h given ir detail, by c()unt'..;s, in the tables elsewhere presented. jRcrcrence is seldom made to the fisheries of Washington and Oregon jwliich the Columbia is not mentioned, although the fishing industry inises but one of the many branches of commerce connected with lis important stream, In the previous report of this Commission on |e lislieries of the west coast, the history and methods of the fisheries jtlie (Columbia were discussed at considerable length. It only remains jtliis time to record such changes as have taken place in the industry Mug the past three or four years. In the investigation on which this
240 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.
report is based it was leasiblc to viait only that part of the Coluinbin basin within the States of Wasiiinj^ton an<l Oregon. For iiuiKh'odsoi miles east and northeast of that se<;tion, liowever, salmon and other fish in more or less abundance are found, the catch being mostly ntilizo.! by ranchers and Indians living near the stream.
The following counties of Washington and Oregon, bordering on tlie Columbia River and its tributaries, maintain commercial fisheries, the full extent of which is exhibited in the tables elsewhere presented:
Oregon: Clatsop, Columbia, Multnomah, and Wasco counties.
Washififfton: Pacific, Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Clarke, Skamania, ami Klickitat counties.
Clatsop and Pacific counties, which are at the month ol' Cohniibhi | River, have fishing interests on their ocean sides as well as in the rivci,
Through the courtesy of the numerous firms engaged in the lisliiii;' business of the river, the agent was able to obtain fi-om their well kept | records detailed statistics showing the results of tlie fishery and run ning industry of the river in a more comprehensive, useful, and reliabk] form than have heretofore been obtained.
THE SALMON INPUSTRV.
This branch of the fisheries completely overshadows all others, and] is the only one entitled to mention with the exception of the stnrffooii| fishery, which is of recent development.
In the early years of the salmon-packing business on the Coluinbial ' hinook salmon were extremely abundant, comprising the bulk of tliel run and all of the pack; other varieties were unutilized. Witli tlie| beginning of a decrease in the abundance of chinook ssilmon the simi blueback salmon was brought more into notice. When the run ofl chinooks began to fixil some of the packers made cautious experinieiital| 4)acks of small quantities of blnebacks to help out their annual paokj although few were widing to concede the advisability of utilizing iiiiy| fish except chinooks. The bright red color and fine flavor of tbel blnebacks at once gave the fish a firm hold on the trade and resultod inl an active demand, which has continued to the present time. Singularj as it m.ay seem, the utilization of the blnebacks and the incroiising quantities consumed annually have been attended by an ai)pin'i'nt| increase in the abundance of the fish.
The accompanying figures will sliow that while the bhieba(?k is fouiulj in the Columbia River every year it has of late had its years of abiiiij dance and scarcity, thus resembling in its migrations the humpbiickj salmon of Puget Sound. For the past six or eight seasons the ovenl years have witnessed the larger run of l)luebacks. Up to a coniparaj tively recent date the steelhead, which has always occurred abnndaiitljf in the Columbia, was considered wholly unsuitable for i)acking. TheT same cause, however, which brought the blueback into use ha^ K'llj to the utilization of the steelhead. Recently the demand for caiine

salmon in certain sections of the country has called for a cheaper grade nf tish, which has brought the neglected steelhead into prominence. The silver' salmon, which does not enter the river until most of tho tanneries are closed, has also been canned in some qnantities, .and both it and the steelhead have met with a ready sale that hab yearly shdwn tendencies to greatly increase.
Fishermen, pricea, etc. — Under the laws of Oregon and Washington all llshermen must be naturalized citizens of tho United States. Ref- erence to the previous report on the fisheries of this river will sh«)w that in 1888 a very large proportion of the fishermen, especially those employed in the gill-net fishery, were aliens. The law is said to be very fully complied with, and the men now profess to be citizens and voters. They represent many nationalities.
Tlie gill-net fishermen belong chiefly to the Latin races. They are nnited under the name of the Columbia River Fishermen's Protective Union, with headquarters at Astoria, Oreg. The pound-net fishermen are mostly native-born Americans or Scandinavians. These have combined for mutual protection under the name of the Washington [Fishermen's Association, with headquarters at llwaco. Pacific County, Wash., near which place most of the pound nets employed in the IColnmbia River are located. These two associations are to some extent antagonistic. Each legislature usually finds representatives from both jassociations advocating their claims and portraying their supposed
rievances. The object of the association of ])ound-uet fishermen is iaid to be:
To promote and foBter the fishing industry of the State of Washington ; to assist building and maintaining tish-hatcberies ; to induce legislation, by petition or itker lawful means, to protect the industry and those un<;aged in it; to extend to itsmunibers aid and assistance, pecuniary or otherwise, when necessary.
By an agreement between the canners and fishermen, the price to be
aid for the catch during the ensuing year is usually agreed upon
fore the beginning of fishing operations. The failure to agree on a
rice in 1890 resulted in a strike that was disastrous to the fishermen.
or several years prior to 1890 the men had been receiving $1 each
[or Chinook salmoU; "'' -r . :i.jjrised nearly all of the gill-net catch.
'he men demanded *1.25 each for their fi.<h, which, being refused, a
;eneral strike was begun which lasted throughout the month of April.
t'ter losing one month of the short salmon season, the men agreed to
lie price first oflered, but refused to-contract at that price for the entire
eason. One dollar per fish was paid up to June 1, after which the
anners would give only 75 cents for chinooks. The most serious out-
onie of the strike was the attempt of the association fishermen to
estroy the nets o*" . few non-union men. A large body of fishermen
belonging to the gia-net association en^barked in their boats at Astoria
id proceeded several miles up the river, where the nets of the non-
nion men were set. On beginning their work of destruction, they
nd for canned 'ere met with a volley of rifle balls from the fishermen on the shore,

and the attacking party hastily withdrew to Astoria, leaving seven of their number killed and wounded. JSo further attempt was mad to interfere with the non-union fishermen.
Thefiithuiy apparatuH and methods. — The various appliances einplnvcf in the Columbia River for the catching of fish and the manner operating the same present few <'hanges as compared with thei)ri'viiiii investigation. No new method of capture has been devised, altlion;' there hiis been a very marked increase in the number of traps, \vlii'el> nets, et(!., operated.
(iill-uet fishing is by far the most important branch of the siilinoi fishery of the Columbia Kiver. More money is invested in the lislii'i than in any other, and larger quantities of fish are thus taken than li any other means. The number of men interested also outnumber those employed in all other branches of the salmon fishery. Tl fishing-grounds covered by the fleet of gill-net boats are mostly iica Astorifi, extending about 10 miles above that place, and the sain distance below. S» veral hundred boats cruise upstream and as man more descend the river.
The boats are mostly owned by the salmon-packers, but the nets ar made and owned by the fishermen. Before the oi)ening of the fisliiii season the men contract with the canners, who have supplied tlici boats, for the entire catch during the year. Fishing is done inoreo less during the entire twenty-four hours. The best hauls, however, ar usually made at night, at which time the fish are less able to see an avoid the drifting net.
The boats drift up and down stream with the tide. If the mornin finds a fisherman near the cannery at which he has contracted I deliver his catch, he lands his fish there; if he has drifted to the nioiit of the river, his fish are delivered on board a receiving scow of th caunery with which he is connected, an agent on board receipting the fish, which later in the day are collected by a steam tug and take to the cannery. The work of the night being over and the fish deliverei the fisherman prepares his breakfast and rests during the time iiitei vening between the tides. His boat is sailed to a quiet spot out of tli channel, the anchor is dropped, the sail taken in, and his simple inei cooked over a small oil stove. The rudder is then unshipped and fsti.i up on deck at the stern, the mast is taken down, the sail removeri, the mast is placed lengthwise the boat, one end resting in the bow, tli other end on the top of the unshipi>ed rudder, forming a ridgepole to the extemporized tent formed by the sail. Often several hundred boat may be found within a small area, each containing the sleeping tis man and his assistant.
While Chinook salmon constitute the great bulk of the gill-net catcl the quantity of other fish thus taken is considerable and is increasiii yearly. With the demand for cheaper grades of salmon the size of tli mesh of the gill nets has been reduced.

Seines are used at Sand Island, near the mouth of the river, and on
I the sand bsirs to a distance of 15 to .'JO miles above the ocean. These
bars as a rule are «lry at low tide, at which time the seines are hauled.
I'p to a comparatively recent time the bars in the Columbia liiver were
owned by the State and their fishing privileges were free. As they
jhi'diine valuable for seine Ashing, and had no other use, i»rivate parties
liiid them surveyed and bought them from the State at a low price. A
I title deed having been secured, the value of these bai»s at once increased
iroin a few dollars to many thousands. The desirable seining-grounds
are limited and have fallen into the hands of a few persons, which fact
[accounts for the relatively small number of seines used, and this form
of apparatus is the only one which does not show an increase in recent
1 years.
Fish-wheels are the most interesting form of apparatus used in the I'olumbia Kiver. Their origin is comparatively recent, and the con- >tiu(!tion and method of operation are entirely different from any other laiipliances used for the capture of tish. Owing to their supposed very lilcstructive powers they have been the subject of much antagonism on Ithe part of the general public and the fishermen using other forms of [apparatus. Since the first introduction of fish-wheels their number and Inse have steadily grown, and in 1892 more were employed than at any [previous time. As compared with the number of gill nets and pound [nets used the number of wheels is very small and has probably nearly [reached its limit, as their use is ccmflned to a few desirable places bor- [ilcring the rjiplds of the Columbia Eiver at the Cascades and The Dalles, [and the favorable sites have passed into the hands of a few i)ersons.
Pound nets are extensively employed in the lower Columbia, the |lar}fest number being set in Baker Bay near the mouth of the river. ITlie nets are usually <)wned by the canners. Between 1889 and 1892 IIh' increase in the number of these nets on the Columbia was 133 per lent. The pound net has almost completely superseded the old wooden Irai) that dates back to the early days of the salmon business, and has jiinw almost passed out of existence.
The other minor forms of apparatus employed on the river, namely, iJip nets, squaw nets, etc., which are mostly used by Indians, present lio marked changes in numbers or in methods of use. The Indians loiitinuo to take large (piantities of fish in this way for their own use piid tor sale.
Complete tables are elsewhere given showing the number and value
III Cach different kind of apparatus employed in each county ou this fiver and also showing the quantity and value of each kind of fish [liken therein. Some general tables follow showing for the Columbia psiii as a whole the quantities of apparatus used and the catch in Kh, The following table has been prepared to show the increase in [lio number of pound nets, haul seines, fish-wheels, and gill nets owned pnsed on the Washington and Oregon sides of the river respectively

In addition to the salmon used for canning, very large quantities I have been salted, consumed fresh locally, or shipped fresh to other Ipart.s of the country. The fish thus utilized have aggregated about 19:',0(I0,000 pounds, giving 850,000,000 pounds as the total salmon out- put of the Columbia River since 1866, the value of which, as sold fresh, (aniic'd, or salted, was $66,000,000. As a matter of interest '*^ may be htiited that if the total salmon catch of the Columbia Ri jt could be loiKh'd into railroad cars, 42,5(M> ordinary freight cars would be required |to cdiitain the flsh, which would make a solid train over 280 miles long. E.vportation8 of canned salmon from Astoria. — i^ueric^ are often made las t(» where the enormous quantities of salmon prepared in the lower Cohiiiibia River and elsewhere on the Paeitic Coast are sold. In the farly days of the canning industry, and for several years after, nearly
250 REPORT or COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.
the entire product was sold iu foreign countries, and there is still a large export trade with England, Australia, and other countries. Reference j is made to the table of exports from San Francisco for a statement of the destination of the canned salmon sent from that port. Much the [ largest part of the canned salmon exported from Astoria is consi},nie(l to England. The shipments* .ire made exclusively in sailing vcssi'ls, j which clear from Astoria dee]>ly laden with no other merchandise tliaii j canned salmon.

THE STURGEON FISHERY.
For many years the fishermen of the Cohiaibia River gave scarceljl any attention to any fish caught in their nets except salmon. Stiirf geon were very plentiful and were cauglit incidentally in the salmon nets in considerable quantities. A few were saved and sent to tlid Portlaml market, and during tlie winter months soirte were also sliippeij by steamer in a round or undressed state to San l-'rancisco, but as 1 rule the sturgeon was looked upon as a nuisance and in most easel was knocked in the head and set adrift in the river. This practic^ prevailed up to a comparatively recent date.
In 1888 an eastern lirni establi.shed experimental fishing-cainiis al several points on the river with a view to determine the abundaiicl and location of the sturgeon, and,by siiipjnng a few carloads of I'lozt'i sturgeon, to demonstrate the feasibility of creating a market in tlij East. The undertaking jiroved a success from the outset, and tlij industry soon attracted other firms from the Ikist, so that in 18!>l! tlierj were four firms interested in the business. The catch increased I'roif 960,705 pounds in 1889 to 3,00(J,757 pounds in 1892. The fishery Im been of great importance to the fishermen in that it does not iiitert'eij in any way with tlieir regular salmon operations, but is prosecutoj after the close of the salmon season, and in 1892 added over .'ii<41,(H)((l their income.

The sturgeon fishery begins immediately at the close of the salmon
tisliery; that is, about the middle of August or the first of September,
and is followed to the opening of the salmon season in the following
.Ipril. Sturgeon are found in the river throughout the year, but are
st abundant during the run of sardines, in July and August, and
ilie run of smelt in January and February, the sturgeon feeding to a
loii.siderable extent on these fish. The spawning season appears to be
ill November and later, thus contrasting strongly with the sturgeon of
llie Atlantic Coast. Mature roe, suitable for the preparation of caviar,
is not found in quantities before November. With the exception of
ilie sturgeon taken incidentally in the salmon nets, which are sold for
lucid use, the fish is neglected during the summer months.
The average gross weight of the sturgeon caught is 150 pounds, the
market fish ranging from 40 to HOi) pounds. Some fish of relativ^ely
mall size are caught, and occasionally very large ones are taken. In
18i)l a sturgeon taken near Kalama weighed 848 pounds, and one taken
iff (hik Point in 1892 weighed 800 pounds.
Fisldug is prosecuted fron< the mouth of the river as far up as the I'lLst-ades, a few fish being taken above the latter point; but the bulk if the catch is obtained between Astoria and Kalama, a distance of III miles. During the earlj'^ part of the season fishing is done nearer the month of the river. The fishermen meet the fish as they come into the stieiim and move along with them.
With the exception of a few gill nets employed in the lower river e fishing is canied ou exclusively with set lines. Each line is pro- riilt'd with 200 to 400 hooks, the hooks being 1 foot apart, and 5 to 8 .s constituting the complement of each fishing boat. When the iiig was first inaugurated lampreys were used for bait, but in the •wing year the Chinese method of using baitless hooks was found ihccssful and ha a since been universally practiced. The hooks differ mil liiose used by the ('hinese, however, in being barbed, but resem- li' them in being ground to a needle-like point. The lines, as a rule, 111' anchored acro.-(S the bed of the river, in some cases diagonal'y, 111(1 also in the bays formed by the expansion of the river. At inter- als of 7 feet a Junk bottle or block of wood is fastened to the line to my it up and maintain it in position about 4 inches from the bottom. lie lisliermen closely study die movements and habits of the sturgeon set their lines on the grounds most frequented. The fish swim- iiiig aloi'g the bottom of the stream in search of food, as is their bit. nmst necessarily cross the set lines, and are almost certain to be igfi'ed by one or more of the sharp-i)ointed hooks. In attempting to *e themselves more hooks are apt to be caught in their body and they ■f held fast. Occasionally fish are taken showing healed-up scars, ilence of previous captwre and escape. The lines are tended on the iaek tide and are usually visited only once in twenty-four Inmrs. In 1892 the business of buying, packing, and shipping sturgeon H carried on by two firms located at Portland, Oreg., one at Kal-
252 REPORT OP COMMISSIONER OP FISH AND FISHERIES.
ama, Wash., and one at Ranier, Orejf. There were also iiumcroml receiving stations located near the fishing grounds. If, after toiuling his lines, the fislierman is near the head station or packing hoiuse, he delivers his catch tliere; but if some distance away he takes it to the nearest receiving station of the firm ^vith which he has contractod to furnish his catch. Tlie prices received by the lisliermen are 1 cent peri pound as the flsli come from tlie water, or 1^ cents per pound it' tlie viscera have been removed. When the fish contain roe suitable lor the manufacture of caviar, the fishermen remove it and receive 4 cents per pound for the same. As sooi: as the fish are landed at the packing- house a g?" g of employees dress them for market. In some cases the I skiii is removed, in others it is left intact. After dressing, the fish are cut into sizes to fit the freezing-i)an8, which are then placed in bins,] covered with ice and salt, and frozen into solid cakes. After froezin}: the blocks of sturgeon are removed from the pans and placed in boxes] holding from 200 to 250 pounds, which ai'e loaded into refrigerator cars! and shipped to market. Most of the catch has been sent to Sandusky,! Ohio, Chicago, 111., and New York City, where it is smoked and finds a | ready sale at good prices. The number of car loads of fresh sturgeon | sent east was 25 in 1880, 77 in 1800, 102 i- 1801, and 115 in 1802.
One produoii of the sturgeon is used entirely by the Chinese, namely, I the spinal marrow. As soon as the fish are landed at the packiii;;! establishment a Chinaman, armed with a hook, pulls out enough of tlie marrow to furnish a good hold, then seizing it, draws the remainder of I it out hand over hand. In the average-sized sturgeon the spinal cord is I 4 or 5 feet long and consists of long, white connecting links resenibliiig! sausages. These are cut open and the jelly-like substance contained j within is scraped off and tlirowti away. Tliis marrow is known by the) Chinese and the trade under the name of "bone." It is thoroiijjlilyj dried, and if not sold to the Chinese in this country it is expoited to China, where it is much prized for making soups. The Cliinanicii pay] 4 cents a pound for this "bone"' and remove it from tlie fish tbeinsclves.
Valuable as the sturgeon is, there seems to be a large waste thatL^,,,!^^^ migiit be utilized for fertilizing i)urp(Kses. Nearly half the f?'*''*^BsiJ,''rr,',^, „'.; weight of tbe fish is at present thrown away, the head, viscera, and B^. .apitai. skin being discarded. This refuse contains more or less oil and valii p J'otai . able fertilizing proi)erties, and could, no dcmbt, be utilized to great | advantage.
The sturgeon fishery of this river was investigated for the liiitedl States Fish Commission by the writer in 1880 and again in 1802, theL ).„,,,„. various fishing camps and grounds and packing .stations being visited each year, and the firms engaged in the business courteously f urn ished^P,^^ the desired statistical and general information. Up to the date of tl"^BMTrr„"„. last visit sturgeon had been found in ample abnndance for the demands ■'*»'i'i^ of the firms, but the fishermen were beginning to complain of a growing j scarcity. As is usual in such cases, nioi'e apparatus was required and this had to be moved from point to point more Impiently in orderl

I to keep up the catcb. Advices received from this river in 1893 reported la great .scarcity of sturgeon, which was followed in 1894 by a still more Imaiked <lecrease in the abundance of the fish, so that the persons inter- lested were obliged to discontinue the busine.ss, and some moved their Iplauts to Grays Ilarbor, Wash., and Fraser Itiver, British Columbia. |tIii' absence of any protective laws or a close sea.son during the spawn- iiijj i)eri<)d, together with the avidity with which the fisliing was i)rose- |iuU'(l,have doubtless led to this destruction of a once valuable fishery. ItIic failure of the States to take proper action for the preservation of Ithe sturgeon has no doubt been due to the recent date at which the Ifisliery was established and to the absence of accurate knowledge as to lits destructive tendency. The extreme brevity of the existence of Ithis tishery is very suggestive, although in keeping with other rivers of Ithe Eastern States in which the sturgeon fishery has been entirely I abandoned.

254 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. THE FISH TRADE OF PORTLAND, OREGON.
The fish business of Portland is of considerable extent and is one of the most important branches of trade. In the wholesale trade, tVcsli, jticklcd, and canned salmon, and iresh sturgeon are handled in large (|nantities, the fresh fish being sliipped in refrigerator cars to points east of the Missouri River. One salmon cannery is located within the city limits, and several others on the Columbia liiver and in other places are owned by persons having their business hea<lquarter.s at Portland.
A good variety of fresh-water and salt-water tish may be found in the markets of the city at almost any time in the year. German eaqi, shad, and catfish, wliich were only recently introduced into that part of the country, have wonderfully increased and are found constantly in the markets. Their abundaiuie is such that at times it is diflicult to sell them at any price. Salmon is tiu; favorite fish and is usually sohl at a very reasonable price. Any recent «!ei.fease in the quantities of carp, shad, and catfish consumed in Portland niay be attributed to the increased use of salmon. Carp and catfisli are plentiful around tiie city <locks and are also very abundant in the several streams adjacent to Portland.
The salt-water fish entering into the fresh-fish trade of Portland come largely from Paget Sound. Native oysters are brought Ironi Willapa Bay and the Yaquina River in sacks holding about 100 poiuids each. Crawlish are common and come from the sloughs of the Wil- lamette River, a few miles from the city. The crabs and clams which are consumed locally are received from Willapa Bay and the mouth ot] the Columbia River.
In the following table the extent of the fresh-fish trade of Portland] in the years 1880 to 1892 is shown. The values given re])resei * the prices i)aid by the dealers to the fishermen.

GExVERAL IMPORTANCE OF THE FISHERIES.
The fisheries of this State are more valuable than those of Oregon, loniii;;' to a greater development of the oyster industry, the pelagic fur- seal fishery, and the general fisheries for salt-water fish, although the I extent of the salmon fishery is considerably less than in Oregon.
The fishing industry of the State has witnessed a gratifying increase
I yearly. In the fa(!e of the depressed (londition of trade during part of
llie time covered by this report the fisheries underwent a noteworthy
ilevt'Iopment, and the continued increase in the State's population will
|do doubt lead to a still more important fishing business.
As at present prosecuted the fisheries of Washington of special prom- |iiien(!e are the salmon and sturgeon fisheries of the Columbia River, [Grays Harbor, and Whatcom County, the oyster industry of Willapa llSay, the general food-fish and fur-seal fisberies of Paget Sound and ptrait of Fuea, and the cod fishery of Skagit County.
The fi.shing industry of Washington in 1892 gave employment to 4,310 iper.-^oiis; the capital invested was $1,593,.167; the value of the i)roducts \nn >}\)31/>(}S. Statistics showing the aggregate of the business in 1892 jaiul ill the three preceding years are given in the following tables:

284 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OP FISH AND FISHERIES.
PACIFIC COUNTY.
This comity is favorably located in vcsjiect to its fishing resources. One-lialfofits sontliern border is at the mouth of the Columbia River, Here arc located over oOO ])ound nets used in the salmon lishery, many of Avhich arcowned iji the connty. Here, also, a large part of the salmon catch of the river is taken and distributed among the salmon camieries on bolh sides of the river. Mere, at certain seasons, sardines, herrin;^, shad, and other varieties not now utilized hold out inducements for the extension of the fisheries.
Just outside of the incmth of the Columbia, and off the shores of Pacific (.-'ounty, are good fishing-grounds on which may be found in more or less abundance, at all seasons of the year, rockfish, flounders, perch, halibut, and numerous other varieties of good food-fish, to all of which only slight attention is given.
At the northern end of the county Willapa Harbor is a good liavcii for shelter, and leading from it is Willapa l>ay, formerly known as Shoalwater Day, which is noted for its extensive beds of native oyK*^<'rs. as well as the abmidanee of salmon occurring during the fall.
The fisheries of Willapa Bay are confined to the salmon and oyster business, in addition to which a small quantity of crabs taken in tlie salmon nets are iitilized.
The run of salmon was fair in 1889, light in 1890 and 1891, and tlie largest in many years in 18915. The tish in 1892 were also of larger size and better quality than the average of past years. Three can- neries are located on the bay, but only one of them was packing during 1892. The low price of canned salwion and the light run in 1890 and 1891 were so discouraging to the canners that two of the canneries did not resume in 1892, and the only one packing was ill prepared for the large run, and was obliged to shut down in the height of the season, owing to lack of cans in which to pack. The first salmon to enter this bay are the chinooks, locally known as black salmon; they run from the last of July to the last of August, with some stragglers later. Silver salmon appear about the middle of August and drop off in Sep- tember, to be followed by dog salmon and another run of silver salmon during the last of Septenjber or early in October. A few steelheads are found in SJiovember, but oidy a light run of them occurs before December, after which they are to be found more or less abundantly all winter.
The salmon catch is chiefly by i)ound nets, of which twelve weie located on Xorth River and three on Wiliapa River, near their entrance to the bay. As showing the abundance of salmon in 1892, the catch of 1,700 salmon, of which 1,400 were silver salmon, at one lift ol a siiif-le pound net may be recorded. Pound nets are put down in August, previous to whi(!h time the fishing in Willapa Bay is of small extent and for local use.
The prices paid the salmon fishermen during 1892 were 10 cents each for silver salmon, 25 (lents each for chinook salmon, and 5 cents each for

dog salmon. During 1892 no arrangements had been made for salting the catch of salmon, aud preparation-s for canning were based on the expectation of only a light run, as in the two previous years. At the date of closing, thousands of salmon were taken from the pound nets only to be refused at the cannery aud then thrown away from want of salt and barrels in which to cure or tins in which to pack them; the tisliiug was consequently discontiiuxed.
During December, 1892, the railroad reached Willapa Bay, its ter- minal being at South Bend on the Will.ipa Kiver. The first house in South Bend is reported to have been built in 188'.) ; in 1892 the town had a population of 2,000. With the advent of the railroad a cold-storage (•onii)any was organized to engage extensively in the fresh-fish trade. Should the plans of the company be realized it would be of great luhantage to the fishermen and would provide an outlet for any such abiuulance of salmon as was witnessed in 1892.
The growth of the salmon fishery of Willapa Bay from 1890 to 1892 was phenomenal. In 1890 the only salmon taken were for local use. In 1891 30,000 pounds of silver salmon were shipped fresh, in addition to the local cousumi)tion. In 1892 10,800 cases of silver salmon and I'.UOO cases of dog salmon were canned, and 75,000 pounds of fresh cliinook salmon were sent to market, the total catch of the 45 salmon tisliermen being 1,034,000 pounds, valued at $10,075.
The oyster industry of Willapa Bay has its principal headquarters at Hay Ceuter, though the business is important at Oysterville. In 1892 jd") persons were employed, including 143 Indians; $47,735 was invested, and the value of the output was $101,179. Next to San Francisco Bay, the oyster industry of Willapa Bay is more important than elsewhere on the Pacific Coast,
Since the oyster beds in Willapa Bay were visited by the writer in ls,S9 they had suffered severe loss from numerous storms; at times the shoal waters of the bay would sweep the oysters from the beds, leaving them in rows, buried in the mud and grass of the bottom. Thousands of bushels of oysters were thus killed. With the increased caie of the beds, the replanting of the small oysters and of shells, the great losses by storms have been overcome, aud the (piantity of oysters talci'ii for market has been kept up to the average of late years. For years the business was carried on with little or no regard to the future niterestof the beds, the chief and only aim of the fishermen seemingly heing to take all the oysters possible during the time permitted, without cnitivating or caring for the beds in any way. Tlie decline in the native beds called attention to the necessity for preserving them from complete depletion, and measures were taken by the State with that end in view.
During the open season before cold weather the native oysters are gathered by hand at low tide, the beds being entirely exposed, and only the market oysters being taken. With the return of the tide the oysterinen work from boats with tongs, and the catch under such cir- cumstauces is culled, all small oysters and old shells being returned to

the water. During the prevalence of cold weather rakes and shovels take the place of hand-picking at low tide, and the oysters are culled, as is done with tiiose taken by means of tongs.
The oysters gathered at Bay Center are mostly marketed at Siiij Francisco; those taken at Oystervilh; go to Portland, Orcg.
The quantity and value of the oyster output of the bay in 1S8!), 18!H), 1891, and 1892 were as follows:

CHEHALIS COUNTY.
The fisheries of this county are located on the Chehalis Eiver, mostly near its mouth, and in Grays Harbor. In addition to the commercial fishing which is there carried on, considerable quantities of fish are also taken by Indians belonging on the Quinaiult Eeservatiou, who fish in the river of the same name for local consum])tion. Fishing in the Chehalis Eiver is done by means of gill nets and pound nets, the only fish utilized being salmon and sturgeon. Ocean food-fish in groat abundance and variety are found just outside the harbor. These, together with the salmon, sturgeon, trout, and other fish found in the river and bay, will doubtles.s lead to a marked development of the fisheries of this county within a short time.
During 1889 three canneries were located on the Chehalis Eiver whose aggregate pack was 31,550 cases. The very large output ol'j canned salmon in that year ou the west coast resulted in such low prices that many canneries were kept idle during the next two years, among which were the three canneries on this river. The only flshinji carried on during 1890 and 1891 was a limited amount of gill-net salmon fishing in the Chehalis, and the Indian fishing already alluded to.
In December, 1891, a branch of the Pacific Eailroad was opened to Ocosta, near the entrancie to Grays Harbor. The facilities for ship ment thus furnished and the opening of a cannery the following year revived the business that lor two years had been almost abandoned. A cold-storage company was organized which contemplated entering largely into the fresh-fish business and .shipping to Atlantic cities 'ty means of refrigerator cars. During the fall of 1892 the run of the several varieties of salmon was very goods Chinooks, locally known us black salmon, entered the river in limited numbers as early as August 10, and by the 15th they were quite abundant; their average weight was 24 pounds. Silver salmon were found from the last of September to the first of November, averaging 12 pounds in weight. There was a short run of dog salmon from October 10 to November 1, these lisUj

Steelheads are found from November to the following March, but the closing of the canneries before the run begins had, ]>rior to building the railroad, prevented tlieir utilization. The prices received by the salmon fishermen in 1892 were 'SO cents each for chinooks, 15 cents each for silver salmon, and ,") cents each for dog salmon. In 1892 there were 102 fishermen em- ployed in the salmon fishery of the Chehalis lliver, 34 of whom came fitini the Columbia lliver after the close of the season on that stream. Of the capital employed, amounting to $.'52,285, $7,3(M) represented nets, hoats, etc., brought from the Columbia. Fifty-eight Chinamen were emidoyed as cannery hands. The aggregate catch of salmon on the ("hehalis in 1892 was 1,472,215 pounds, with a value to the fishermen of 822,05(>. This quantity included salmon canned, used locally, and shipped fresh by exi)resH. During the years 1889 and 1892, when s;\imon canning was done on this river, the following quantities of the different kinds of salmon were packed:

Sturgeon have always been more or less abundant in the (Chehalis Kiver, but up to a recent date no value was attached to them, and those found in the pound nets were knocked in the head and thrown away. Direct rail comniunication soon brought buyers from Puget Sdund, and no more sturgeon were discarded. In 1892 38,000 pounds of sturgeon incidentally taken in the pound nets were disposed of; the price received by the fishermen being one-half cent a pound gross weight.
A few fine shad are taken in the pound nets of Chehalis River, but 110 special fishing for shad is done at any time. No nets of any kind are used until the fall run of salmon begins, by which time the run of shad is probably nearly over. The few shad taken are eaten by the lishermen. Salmon trout are found plentifully iu the Chehalis River, but are fished for only by sportsmen.
.JEFFERSON COUNTY.
The fishing business of this county centers at Port Townsend. The nnany advantages which this point possesses for the carrying on of an i extensive fishing industry have often been mentioned. The city has lOiic of the best harbors on the Pacific coast. Many varieties of desir- ble food-fish are to be fouud almost at the city's docks. The halibut, I cod, and other fish, which are found in abundance just within and out- side the Strait of San Juan de Fuca, are much nearer to Port Townsend than to any other city or important shipiiing point. The fisheries have uot reached that stage of development which was anticipated a few

years iv^o, (Hiietly for the reason that the attempts to utilize the line resources ot the rejjion iiave not been snfHciently extensive and enoiiuli capital has not been put into the business to demonstrate the success <tf the industry. The great dei)rossioM in all kinds of business diiriii}> the past \'iiw years iiad its ell'ects here as elsewhere and prevented the introduction of new enterprises or the enlarj^einent of those alreiidy in existence. There is little' reason to doubt that m the near Itituic the lisliing l)usiness of this county will be of jii-eat importance. A number of small sized sailboats usm;,' hand lines for (udlus-cod and halibut furnish the city with an abundance of food-tish, the surplus cat'.'li being sent to the various jmrts on I'uget Sound. Thi.s, at pws- ciit, constitutes the extent of the llshin}> industry of the <!ounty, witii tlie exce])tion of a small amount of seine lishing for herring ami smelf. The western end of this county, which borders on the Pacific Ocean, is mountainous ami unsettled, and maintains no li.sberies.
CLALLAM COrNTV,
On the west this county abuts on the Pacitic Ocean, while its nortluni bcu'der extends the entire lengtii of the Stiait of Fuca. It is tliereloio conveniently located with reference to the tishing-grounds, and it niiiiii- tains fislu'ries of great and growing importance. The chief lisliing centers are Neah JJay, Port Angeles, and Dungemis.s.
The lishery resources of this county are varied iind valuable. The western section is mountainous and sparsely settled, and the tishing is conlined to the taking of saluKui by the Indians living along the biiiilcs of the Quillaiute liiver, Avhich tlows through their reservation. Sniail quantitiesof halibut and cod, with an occasional whale, are also taken by these Indians, who depend chiellyou these produc^ts for their winter supply of food. During tlie early spring months, ibr several weeks, the fur seal is found resting and feeding off' the shores of this county bel'oio proceeding on its migrati<in to IJering Se.'i. In the fall immense iiiim bers of salmon come in from the ocean on their way up the strait and sound. Herring, anchovies, and smelt are also found in large bodies. The fishing banks and shoals in the immediat<; vicinity of the noitli- western end of the county abound with lish, of which halibut, cultus-cod. rockfish, and black-cod are most sought after, while llounders, penli, doglish, sharks, sculpins, and many other species are also abundant. Tiie value of the fishery resources of this section has long been known, but uj) to the past few years the attempts made to utilize the resources have been limited.
In ISSn these fisheries were investigated for the United States Fish Commission by the writer, who again visited the region in 1892. In the interim the attention of the fisliermen had been especially directed to this section by the printed reports distributed by the Commission, and as a result the fishermen largely extended their operations in tliat vicinity, marketing their (;atch at the various cities on the strait and sound, whence the surplus was shipped to the interior.

Neah Bay. — Tlie most important of the fisliiiiff communities of this c(miity IS Neah Kay, h)cate(l on a reseivation of tlie 3Iakah Indians. Its nearness to the lisliiny-giounds makes it important as a harbor of refuge for lisheiinen of this entire rej;i()n. In iSOl' tlie Indians of Neah Bay numbered U'i, Th'^y are industrious, self-su])portiii}>', (juiet, and lieaceable. Tlie only work i)erf()rnu'd by them is ,'onnected with the lishories, with the exception that during the hoppiclving season men, women, and children are engaged in the hoi)yards of the white settlers of distant counties on or near IMiget Sound. As rejjorted in 1889, these Indians continue to procure the larger part of their food supply from the iishing-grounds of the Strait of Fuca and the adjacent ocean. No records are kept of their cat( h, and the amounts credited in the tables are based on careful estimates made at the agency.
Halibut are the favorite foodtish of thu Indians. It is estimated at the agency that 28(),()0(> pouiuls of this fish are used annually as food, in addition to the (piantities sold. During ISOli i fishing lirm located at Tacoma had a steamer employed in visiting the grounds near Cape Flattery s-nd Inlying the catch from the Indians and the small «iailing vessels of white men. It is the practice of the Indiiuis to go into camp near ("ape Flattery, where the fish are dressed and disj)osed of, those not sold fresh being taken lionn' imd smoked for future use. The home market thus created induced a liirgely increased catch.
The average daily catch of a halibut canoe is about 40 fish, having an average weight ol' .'iO pounds, many of the fish taken being much heavier. The fishing season is from the middle of May to tlie middle of August, after which time Miree fourths of the Indians leave for the lioj) vineyards. The Imlibnt continue to be taken by the Indians with large, cumbersome wooden hooks made by them, which they prefer to the regular trade hooks used by white men. Halibut have been found in their usual abundance on the several flshing-grounds inside and oiitHide the Stniit of I'ucii, although the larger catch is taken in the ocean. In rough and stormy weather tishiug can be successfully carried on inside the mouth of the strait.
In ISDii new grounds were resorted to with excellent results. These were located from 2."» to 40 miles southwest from ( "ape Flattery, and fishing was done in a depti; of T.'t fathoms. The Indians of this county j)ay but little attention to salmon. Their catch is only made by troll ing a bone or spoon hook in the American waters of the Strait of Fuca. The principal portion of the salmon run. whi.ih occurs in the fall, is said to be on the British side of the strait, o'l reaching the inner extremity of which the fish turn into their customary routes, one body going into Fuget Sound undone going northward into the Strait of (ieoigia destined for tlie Fraser Fiver.
The pursuit of the fur seal is an important branch of tlie fisheries carried on by the Indians of Neah Jhiy. Small sailing vessels making their head(iuarters at that point are employed, several of which are owned by the Indians. In addition to the fi'C sailing vessels used, in

1892 two others were bought and one was built in Seattle, too late for use during that year, all of which were to be put into this fishery in the following season.
Whales are pursued in large canoes that often go 15 or 20 miles from the shore. Only harpoons and lances are employed by the Indians in the whale fishery. After being killed, the whale is buoyed with large air bags made from the skins of sea lions and towed to the shore, where it is soon cut up and divided among the tribe. The blubber is cut into long, narrow strips and smoked for later use as one of their favorite articles of food.
The Indian, almost from infancy, is familiar with the canoe and its management. Very young children are often noticed dexterously manipulating the paddle in miniature canoes, and during youth the greater part of the life of the Indians is spent in their canoes. Strange to say, howe\ er, they do not feel safe on the deck of a vessel and seldom be(!ome good saiK)rs. Even in the fur-seal lishery in which the Indians are the owners of the vessels employed, they never go any distance from land without having a while man aboard as navigator.
On returning from a fishing trip, the work of the Indian fisherman ceases until he again er<-ers his canoe. The women meet the boats as soon as they land and attend to all the details connected with the care and preservation of the catch.
The canoes used by the Indians are , made of red cedar, each from a single log. Canoes of different sizes ire employed in the different fisheries, the standards being about as follows:

During 18S9 aiul 1890 the sealing vessels of Neah liay were seized for illegal sealing. Ju 1891 they took 815 seals, which were sold for $14,947, and in the following year 1,743 seals were killed, which brought $10,537, Three vessels were used in 1891 and live in 1892.
Port Angelea.— ''i or to 1891 the fisheries of this port were confined to the operations >; the Indians who live im the vicinity, but with the growth of the j)lace during the years covered by this report more atten- tion was given to developing the fishing business. A fishing and canning company under the name of the Port Angeles Packing Com- pany was organized in 1892, a small cannery was built, and $10,000 was invested in the plant, riie business was started too late in the season to do more tlian prepare for the ensuing year.
Two small vessels and several boats were engaged in the line and gill net fisheries of this place, the catch, consisting of cultus-cod, liali- bu , id salmon, being marketed at Port Townsend or Seattle, when not sold locally. Fish of numerous varieties are fairly abundant at most seasons of the year, and the port has one of the best harbors in this region. It would therefore appear that with the further growth of the country the fisheries will receive more attention. In 1891 and 1892 the following (|uantities of fish were taken by tlie fishermen of Port Angeles and the immediate vicinity,includingsome Indian fisher- ^len of Elwha Creek, located 0 miles west of Port Angeles:

PIEllCE COUNTY.
f Tliis county (M'('ui)U's the liead of Paget Sound and lias as its fishing
center Tacoma, where most of the fishcriuen of the county reside and nearly all of the catch is marketed. With the recent growth of the city, the construction of a large cold-storage warehouse, and the invest- ment of more capital in the industry, the outlook for the fishei'ies is very encouraging to the fishermen, and th'> results of the business present a considerabk increase since the last report.
The principal fisheries are for salunui, carried on witii i)ound nets; for cultus-cod, halibut, and rockfish, Viirli lines; for tlounders, heriiiig, salmon, smelt, etc., with seines; and for oysters and clams, with tongs. The most impi>rtant f^iugle products are oysters and silver salmon.
During 18!»2 a firm largely interested in the llsheries placed the steamer Fvanch Cutting in the business. This steamer was chiefly used as a transporter, making f'cfiuent trips from Tacoma to the several fishing banks of tiie sound and strait. The fishing seascm extended from May ) to November L', during which time about 50(MK)0 pounds of halibut, 50,(K)0 i>onnds of blackcod, and 75,000 poumls of cultus-cod were bought from the fishermen on the lisiiinggrounds, in addition to which the crew of the steamer caught about l.'0,00() jmunds of halibut. On securing a fare the steamer returned to Tacoma, wheie the catch was placed in cold st(U'age until needed. Fisliing fi)r halibut and the other fish is done by a small licet of sailing vessels using hand lines.
Besides the halibut, black-cod, and cultus-cod brought in by the steamer, this firm handled (;onsiderable (juantities ol" salmon, smelt, and sturgeon. After aipplying the local »lcnuuid, the suri)lns catch was l)acked in refiig< rator cars and shipped tr» points east of the Hocky Mountains, '^ho sturgeon liandled came by rail fnmi (Jiays Harbor the other fisn were caught locally. This was probably the first year in which smelt were sent from tiie Pacific ( 'oast to the East. The business of frec/^ing and shipi>ing fresh fisli to easteiii points promises a large increase in the near future. In I.S91 one car, with 1M),00(» pounds of fresh fish, was senteast. in 1802, up to the middle of December, eleven cars, containing 207,309 pcmnds of fresh frozen fisii, liad beoi scnf, while half a dt>zen car loatls still renuiiiied in storage, to be forwardetl later.
KINO COUNTY.
The most imjiorfant fishing centei' of this cciiiity is Seattle. The rapid growth in the population of Seatth-, t lie building of a cold storage warehouse, and the establishment of new fishing firms have led to ii threefold inciease in the fisheries of this county as compared with ISSS.
The salaion canning business of Seattle and vicinity iias fiuctuated considerably m recent years. In 1880 three canneiies were opeiatcd. During tljat season one wjw destroyed by fire, and the following year another shared tlie same fate, and the third was closed. The cannery destroyed in 1800 was bi rued during the packing season, but the business was continued iu iv hastily provided temi)')rary building, the

packiii}]: for the season beiiij;' necessarily inncli reduced, owing to the interruption. A larj^e new cannery to rephice tlie loss by fire was con- structed, and was tlie only one in operation during tiie yeais 18!)1 and 18!»2. The most abunchuit salmon taken in this county is the dog sal- mon, which constitutes about five-twelfths of the cat<!h. vSilver salmon is luixt iu abuiuhince, rei)resenting one-tlunl the ciitcli, while steelhead and cliinook salmon, respectively, comprise one-sixth and one-twelfth of the yield. In 18.S!) about three-eighths of the salmon catch of this county was obtained l)y means of jiouiid nets, but iu the later years the use of purse seines has been incueasing and pound nets have been given up, so that in 18!»2 three-fcmrths of the catch was made with purse seines and one-foarth with gill nets.
A tleet of snuill-sized schooners, built for the ii.Nlieries during the years 1801 and 18',tl3, at once inaugurated the halibut fishery, and their witch met with a ready sale at Seattle.
The business of shipping fish fresh in refrigerator cars is growing in imimrtance. 81iipmeiits are as yet confined to fresh salmon and halibut consigned mostly to ])oints cast of the Missouri Kiver, Each car carries from 12 to 18 tons of fish. In 1890 six carloads, comprising 195,250 pounds of I'rcsh fish, were sent cast from Seattle; the fo. lowing year, ninete<'n carloiids, aggregating (!90,210 jxtunds, were sent east. Tp to l)ecend)er 1, 18!)2, live carloads, < quivaient tol21,5.">(> pounds, had been sent, and it is probable that the shii)ments during the remainder of the year would make the aggregate for the season fully eipuil to that of 1891.
The Puget Sound and Alaska Commcrciitl ('omi>any. of Seattle, was the pioneer of the cod-fishing liusiness of that citj'. The linn began operations in February, 1892, and on IMarcli 5 of that year sent the sclu'oner Moonlujlit, of (i8 tons, with a crew of 17 men, on the first cod- fishing trip from Seattle. The vessel fished in I'ering Sea and returned to Seattle on August 20 with 175,000 ])()unds of suit cod. Soon after being landed the fish were prepared in the tisual manner as boneless cod and placed on the market. The success attending this lirst trip and the favorable i<'ception accorded the ]irei)ared catch indicate that the future may see this biisincss largely increased.
The pelagic fur-seal fishery has for many years received consttt«MMe attention in Seattle. Of hiti^ more vessels and larger craft have bwn engaged in this branch of the lisherics. During isjrj the vessels were very successful in taking seals and in receiving goni prices iu th* Lcmdou market, to which the entire catch wsss sent. At the efcwe of 1892 vessels were being overhaulccl and mado readv for an e.'^rly s(art in .January, 189.'!, for Ihe dist^uit sealing-gromuls »►&' the <'<»asi of J^pan.

entitles it to mention is tlie oftsliore cod iiahery carried on from Ana- cortes, in tliis county. Dnring 1892 direct rail communication was established between Seattle and this county, with the water terminal at Anacortes. This town was one of many communities that the open- ing of the railroad brought into existence. Up to the date of the visit of the agent of the Fish Commission no attention had been given to the fisheries, with the exception of the cod fishery noted.
In 1891 Capt. J. A. Mattesou, of Provincetowu, Mass., brought to Anacortes the schooner Liz::ic ('olhy, which had for a number of years been engaged in the Grand Banks cod fishery out of Provincetowu. On the arrival of the vessel she was at once sent to the fishing banks in Heriug Sci. Although the season was late when fishing began and the operations were continued only twenty days, <Si"),(K)0 pounds of cod- fish were taken and brought to Anacortes. On March 17, 1892, this pioneer vessel in the cod fishery of Washington sailed from Anacortes on her second trip to Bristol Bay, Alaska, returning August 'M with 364,000 pounds of codfish, whi(^h were caught in three months' fishing. On the return of the vessel the cargo was stored under ])ickle in tanks until needed. As occasion requires, the fish are dried on outdoor tiakes, and prepared for market as boneless codfish. The fish are sold in Seattle, l*ortland, and other cities of the west coast, and one car load was sent to Boston, Mass.
WHATCOM rOTTNTY.
This is the most northern county of the Pacific Coast of the United States. It lies at th« soutaorti entrance to tijc (iulf of (ieorgia and just northeast of the Strait of Fnca, ;ui(l is of considerable importance in connection with tlie fisheries. Salmon on their way to the Fraser River i>ass the shores of this county, oft" which they are usuallj' found about a mouth earlier than they are in the Fraser. The fisheries are centered at Poinc lloberts, a military rescvation. Numerous varieties of fisli are here found, but only salmt.i, kt the present time liave any commercial importance. Previous to the establishment r*f a salmon cannery at Point Roltn rts in 1891, all the fishing of the county Avas confined to the |)«Tiod o'' the early run of saim(ni on their way to tlie Fraser. At that tiiiMJ the <atch, of whicli no reliable report could be procured, was n>ed hwady, and sold I' i ne canneries over the boundary line, on the Fraser HI', t-r, aiid was much less tluMi in 1891 and 1892.
iMiring 1892 f>'. er lliree-fourths of the catch was taken by the 85 white men using ])urse ,-eines and ponud nets, and less than oue-fourth by 100 Indian fishermen employing icef nets and gill nets. The reef net, of which a diagram and description were given in the i)revious report on the fisheries of this coast, is gradually going out of use, only 10 being \ised in 1892, against 20 in 1891. The proportional cpiantities of salmon taken with the different kinds of apparatus are as follows: Pound nets, two-tenths; purse seines, six-tenths; gill nets, one tenth; reef nets, one-tenth. Silver salmon and skowitz or dog salmon are taken by purse seines and gill nets; sockeye or blueback salmon are

caught by pound nets, while all species are taken in small quantities in reef nets. The averaf-o gross weights of the different species of salmon taken at Point Koberts in 1892 were as follows: Blueback salmon, 7 pounds; silver salmon, 7A pounds; dog salmon, 10^ pounds. The prices paid to the lishermeu for these tish were 15 cents, 8 cents, and (J cents, respectively. ,
The total (juantity of salmon taken in 1891 was 025,885 pounds, and in 1892 1,043,500 pounds, all of which were caught and used in canning at Point Koberts.
SAN JUAN COUNTY.
This county consists of numerous islands lying midway between the island of Vancouver on the west and Skagit County on the east, in the direct line of migration of the largo bodies of salmon on their way from the ocean to the Fraser Eiver and other streams of the northwest coast. While the opportunities for commercial ilshing for salmon and other fishes are regarded as extremely good, the fishing iulustry is insignificant. On Waldron Island some attention was given to the taking and smoking of herring during the years 1891 and 1892, several hundred thousand pounds of raw material beiug ut!!iz(;d annually. After being smoked the fisli are ])acked in small boxes holding 5 or 0 pounds, and find a ready market in the cities of the Pacific Coast.
THE OYSTEll BUSINESS OP PUGET SOUND,
Native oyster beds are abundant in Mason and Thurston counties, the beds iu Mason County being in Oakland Bay, Case Inlet, Totten Inlet or Oyster Bay, and Hood (Janal, and those of Thurston County ill Mu(. Bay near Olympia: .dl of tiieso bodies of water are tributary to Pugct Sound, During the past few years mor»< attention has been given to the nati /e beds of this region. The small seed oysters obtained from the cull hf^ve been planted, and starfish found on tlie beds have been destroy ;;a. In all cases in which some care has been bestowed on the beds a gain in the output has resulted, while localities where the beds have received no attention have generaHy shown a decrease, some beds worked as late as 1889 now being abandoned. In past years starfish have been very destrutttive to the mitive beds of Puget Sound; of late the ettbrts to rid the beds of tliis injurious animal have been increased, and de|»redations have been almost entirely prevented. The beds arc exposed at low tide, at which time the starfish are gathered by hand and ^vitli forkn, and used on tiie land for fertilizer.
In taking oysters in the Puget Sound i-egion tonffs are but little used — in sonu- instan^-ftx not at all, the oysters being picked by hand at low tide, and carri*^ to I^Hit.*, where they are culled, small seed oysters and shells being ret nrucd to tlu beds.
Marked oysters are sent to Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle, and <»ther I)oin(s, in htw-ks containing 115 i(*Miiids, equivalent to 2 bushels. I'rices in 1889 were *.'} per sack, and iti IH91 a;nl 1892 iS2.."»0 per sack. The oyster season is from September 1 to VI ny 1. T^o «»cks per day are cousidered a fair quantity to be taken by ♦>ue luau.

Tlie number of men engajied and the eai)ital invested in this industry show little change from year to year, altliough theie lias been a sligiit increase, in the <puintity of products, with a reduction in tlieir value. In addition to the ])ersons shown in the table, tiiere were ])erliai)s as many moic employed at odd times in connection with the industry, but tiu'ir operations were too brief to entitle them to mention in tlie tables. In addition to the quantities of oysters given for ]\Iason and Thurston counties, about 10,000 bushels are taken annually from these counties by lishermen living at Tacoma, to which place their catch is credited.
In 1892 small beds of a bivalve mollusk {I'htcunnnomia macroNchlsma) of uo e('onomi<' value were found between Taconui ai,d Seattle, ('on- siderable attention was given to this discovery, because of the extensive notices in the press. By the iiewsi)apers the shellfish were almost invariably designated as valuable beds of eastern oysters. Their shells were about the size of a nu-dium eastern oyster. The soft ]»art of most of them was of a bright red color, resembling fresh meat ratiu'r than shellfish. The Indians of the sound have long beeu familiar w ith these mollusks, and rejiort them as good for food at certain seasons and as poisonous at other times. No exix^riments as to their \ alue for food were made by the whi'cs, and the beds remain undisturbed.

ALASKA.
onowTn OF the fishing industry.
Until a few years a/j^o the wonderful fishery resources of Alaska were little known except to tlie nati\ e.s of the country. Attention was called to this distant ])ortion of the United States by Dr. Tarleton H. Bean, of the United .States Ki.sh Commission, in the report of the Commis- sion for 1880. This report was extensively copied and was read with yreat interest, nnd its accoijnts of the wonderful abundance of salmon and other lish were by many .eceived with doubts similar to those entertained two hundred and 11 l^y years before rejiardiug the reports carried to Europe as to tlie abiii;dance of lish ott" the New Enj^laud coast. Time lias proved that the statements of ])r. Uean were quite moderate and fully reliable. Notwithstanding the {jreat abundance of lish in Alaskan waters, the total viilue of the lish utilized in 1880 by others than natives was shown to have been insignilicant.
Soon after attention had been called to Alaska and its resources by the United States Fish Comiiii.ssion, many pers(»ns engaj^ed in the salmon liusiness on the Columbia and other coast rivers gave the subject of Alaskan lisheries careful consideration. Although the lish were very abundant, the great distance of the grounds and the expense necessary to establish a plant there were considered to iuvcdve too great a risk to warrant the inauguration of lisheries. The tirst experiment having proven a tinancial success, the doubtful watchers, slowly at first and later with more eagerni'.ss, followed, until at the present time it will be seen that over half of the aggregate jiack of salmon in the United States and nearly half of the i)aek of the entire world comes from Alaska.
Tlie large area, and th(> wide distances between inhabited stations of this vast domain, render the gathering of complete general and statistical information a matter of much time, difficulty, and expense. I'ortiinately, so far as the fisheries are concerned, the various fishing linns in Alaska have their home stations and headciuarters at San I'rancisco, or in Washington and Oregon, and can be reached with com- jiarative ease. The instructions to the writer on his last investigation of the fisheries of the Uacific Coast in 1802 called for such statistical mfonnation regarding the Alaskan fisheries as could be ])rocured without visiting that Territory. Each of the heachpiarter offices, as previously mentioned, was visited, and through the courtesy of the

W'itl) tlieexc('i)ti()n of tlu^ con-siderablecjuantities of fish canglit and consumed in Alaska by I lie natives, the accoini»anyin<;' tables represent the entire food fish fisheries of Alaska. Tiie waters of that rejiion, however, abound in many varieties of line food-fish to which 8car(M'ly any attention has been f;iven. Sau Francisco firms enjrii^ed in the cod tishery ])rocure their (;atch on the extensive lishiii;;- banks just olf tlic shores of Alaska, on which tliey havc^ several stations. Their catcii will be found in the .statistical tables of California, and the two vessels in the same business from Washiniitou will be credited to that State.

THE SALMON INDUSTRY.
Brief notiee, liaa boon iniido of tlio first (iunningoi* salmon in Alaska, 111 its siuM'oss, and (»f tii(^ rusii to tins new region of those pn'viously (iifjfafjfed in the business in other sections. The niunborof canneries in llie Territory increased uj) to 18!M,wlien the business reached hiffh- water mark; the nund)er of canneries in operation was ;}3 and the])ack w as 808,1(08 cases. This large amount of canned salmon, -idded to the ( iistoinary yearly jiack of the Columbia and other rivers, could have but one result, that of an overstocked market, that at once necessitated II curtailinf; of oi)erations. Salmon «'ontinued in great abundanct; in Alaskan waters, and it was apparent that the running of the 33 canneries to their full capacity would lesult in groat pecuniary loss. Twenty seven of the canning firms <!on.se(iuently decided to largely diminish expenses a,nd reduce the amount of tiie i)ack in 1892, and in liiture years, so far as po.ssible, to limit the production to the probable demand of the trade. This was accomplished by the firms mentioned l>ooliug their business and closing 18 canneries that had run in 1801; tlie others, with those not entering the combine, made the number of factories oi)erated in 1 89- only ir>. The pack in 1 89L' was 4(58,970 cases.
The principal salmon u.sed in the canning business in Alaska are the small red-meated lish, hujally known as red salmon, which has an average weight of 7 pounds, and the larger king or chinook salmon, which averages 30 [Kmnds. In packing a case of 18 one-pound cans, the average number of red salmon reiiuired is 12, and of king salmon 2^. This is a much larger average than obtains at the canneries in the Pacific States, where the fisli are less abundant and more valuable. Tlie great abundance of these fi.sh in Alaska results in the use of only the choicest jiaits and in the loss or waste of large (juantities of i>roducts which otherwise would be utilized.
The extent of the salmon fishery of Alaska and of the canning and salting industry dependent thereon is given in the following tables, it appears that in 1892 2,(501 persons were engaged in the industry, flijit $2,181,303 was invested, tliat 37,i"i34,100 iiounds of salmon were utilized at tlie canneries in ilie i i ,;paration of 408,970 cases of canned lish and ao barrels of salt s.'.lmon, "^he manufactured products having a value of $1,970,1 10. For reasons already given, the business was much less extensive in 1892 than in any of the other years under considera- tion. The canneries not operated in the years shown represent a very large investment which does not appear in the statistics. Only the property actively employed is noticed.
The business of salting salmon, as a branch of the fishing industry independent of the salting done at the canneries, is quite important II nd is yearly increasing in extent. About a dozen firms, located in various parts of Alaska, engaged in salting salmon in 1892, utilizing ■1,(597,400 pounds of fresh fish and preparing 15,Go8 barrels of salt ,';almon, having a value of $125,204. In the following year 5,8n,(i00 pounds of raw material were consumed in the production of 19,572

The vessol.s .shown in the foregoing table are employed about tlie stations or are engaged in transporting supplies to the canneries and tlie prepfired products to the markets. Many are of large size, and are among the finest vessels employed in the United States in connection with the fi.sherios. They are mostly steamers, but there are also ship.s, barks, and schooners. The largest sailing vessel is a ship of 1,158.30 tons, and the largest .steamer has a tonnage of 449.04. These two vessels carry (!rews of 30 and 14 men, respectively. The aggregate tonnage of this fleet in 1892 was 8,421.48, the value of the vessels was $441,000, and the crews numbered 288. The following table relates to the vessels employed in this capacity from 1889 to 1892, inclusive. A number of steam launches of less than 5 tons burden, used at the canneries, are classeti as boats and do not appear in the tabic.

Mr. A. B. Ale.xander, fishery expert on the United Slates Fi.sli Com- mission steamer AHuitroxs, makes the following remarks on the business I of salting salmon in Alaska:
The <l«niiin(l for Halt Hahuoii is yearly increasing. A few years ago there was bnt little call for it, jiroliably owing to the fact that little ott'ort was made on the part of those engaged in the btisinesB to introdiioe it in the East. Seeing the absolute necessity of taking stops to ])lace their products on the eastern market in order to increase the demand and establish a trade for salt-cured salmon, eil'nrts have been pushed in that direction, and the encouragement met with has induced many who had not the means or desiri; to enter into the expensive business of canning siilinuii to establish salmon salteries in various i)arts of Alaska.
The aHiouDt of capital required to start on a small scale in this business is not

large. One or two boats iitted with drag seines, u cabin on shore for living quarters, a rough shed or tish house iu which to dress and salt the fish and for performiug siicli general work us may be required in a limited business of this kind, will sufllco for all purposes. Many of the well-established aalteries were first started in this luaii- ner and have since grown to bo of considerable importance. Two or three men with only a small amount of capital, if they are fortunate in selecting a good locality ■where the run of salmon can be relied upon — for the success of the entire busincHs depends upon the location — can, if they display the re(inired amountof energy, build up a paying business. They of course must appreciate the fact that at least for seven months out of the year they must content themselves with beiiag cut off niid isolated from civilization, but the class of men who seek a livelihood in this remote part of the world care little for social life, or, if so, the prospect which looms up before them for making money is fully equivalent to any hardships of this nature they may undergo.
Several small vessels manned by men of small means have, during the p 't fi^n- years, made annual voyages to Alaska, spent the fishing season there, and in the fall brought back the summer's catch. At first they temporarily located themselves liy way of an experiment where it was thought to be a good position for carrying on the business. If the experiment proved a success, the next year greater preparatiouH were made, and in this way from a small beginning quite a number of valuable plants have been established.
The greater part of the salmon put up at the salteries are caught in drag seines, although a few are taken in gill nets and traps, but at most places where salterie.s are situated the drug seine has been found to be the most profitable apparatus of cap- ture, owing to the great number of smooth beaches where the fish can be easily lakeii. There are. however, numerous bays, channels, and strains in Alaska where the purse seine could be used to advantage. The reason why this style of net has not been adopted iu places where it can be used is because the fishermen of the coast are iiol experienced in handling it. In 1893 a mackerel purse seine was for the first time used at Tongas Narrows, in southeastern Alaska. Previous to the introduction of this seine the drag seine had always been used. Mr. Clarke, one of the owners of tlio saltery established here, says that after a se.ason's trial he has come to the conclusiou that the purse seine is superior to the drag seine, aiul during the next season he iutend.s to employ several of them. The secret of Mr. Clarke's success in fishing for salmon with a purse seine is in his knowledge of using it, which was gained by nearly twenty years' experience in the mackerel and other fisheries in New England. Seeing no reason why salmon could not be caught in the same manner as mackerel in places where the bottom and general surroundings were favorable, he sent East for enough twine to make a seine 150 fathoms long, 17 fathomx deep iu the bunt, and 14 fatlioins on the wings, the size of the twine being 9 and 12 thread. It will be observed that this seine is considerably deeper in proportion to its length than the ordiiiary mackerel seine. The re.ison for this extra depth is that salmon, when they liiid Ihemsrlves surrounded by twine, will, like mackerel, dive, but, us a rule, they will only go down from 13 to 14 fathoms. By having the seine several fathoms deeper than they generally dive, a school, when once surrounded, is pretty sure of beiuj; caught. Mr. Clarke says he did not lose u single school during the summer.
The uttempt to catch the salmon in this manner being only an experiment, every- thing connected with the 'lew method, except the seine, was crude. A seine boat had to be built and the crew to man it drilled. The boat was manufactured on the spot by men connected with the tishing station.
Mr. Clarke finds this method a much more economical way of fishing than with drag seines. The bottom about Tongas Narrows is very rocky and drag seines are frequently torn to pieces. This involves a great deal of labor iu keeping them in repair, and besides the expense amounts to considerable during the season. There being plenty of water here where the fishing is carried on, the purse seine never comes in contact with the bottom, and the hardeiit usage it gets is the natural wear and tear from handling.

Two purse seines have been used for several years at Yes Bay. One is 300 fathoms long and 17 fathoms deep in the bunt, and the other is about 100 fathoms long. The larger one is used more frequently and is set from a sninll steamer. The superin- tendent of the saltery at that point says it Avorks all right when be can get men who know how to handle it. Purse seines have also been in use for two seasons at Metlaktthtla, and with very good success.
Employes at tho salteries have, heretofore, been paid by the month, but a few salteiB during tho past season gave their men a lay. Sixty dollars a month for white fishermen and $1 a day for native help have been the established wages. It is fast becoming the custom to pay so much per barrel to white iisliennen for all salmon caught. At all places where this system has been tried it has given satis- faction to both fishermen and owners. Ten cents a barrel is tho lay received. In all fishing communities where fishing is performed on a lay much better results follow than where stipulated wages are given. The constant expectation of good catches stimulates the men with energy which wages have not the power to bring out. The lishermcn know that what benefits tho proprietors likewise helps them.
All barrels used for putting up snlniou in southeastern Alaska are manufactured lit tho snltories. Suitable wood being abundant, they can be made at a reasonable lirice. During the winter months enough barrels are made to meet the demand for the coming season. A cooper is an indispensable person about a salmon saltery, for, besides performing his regular duties as a cooper, he is often called upon to assist in various mechanical jobs, and is paid by the piece, or so much per barrel — 8.5 cents for making a whole barrel and 65 cents for a half barrel. At this price he can earn good wages, for he is under no expense for board.
It being the object of every man owning a saltery to enlarge on the plant and in- crease his business as rapidly as possible, several weeks of each year, before and after the fishing season, are spent in building wharves if needed, erecting buildings, and making such improvements as are required to keep a place of this kind in good order.
Many salmon saltcrs have gained n firmer foothold in Alaska than the mere busi- ness of salting salmon would give them. They have branched out into general trade, and have stores well stocked with goods of all kinds. In this way they have drawn around them tho neighboring tribes of Indians who are ever ready to buy nnd trade for such commodities as they require. The result of barter and trade with the Indians has been to annually fill the stores with largo collections of furs. Hear, fox, and deer skins are chiefly dealt in, the most of which are shipped direct to San Francisco.
MANTTFACTUBE OF HEREING OIL AND GUANO.
According to the report of Mr. Paul S. Luttrell, special agent of the Treasury J^epartment for the protection of the sahnon (iaheries of Ahiska, a herring fishery of some magnitude was carried on iu 1892 at Ivillisnos, Alaska, by the Alaska Oil and Guano Company. While a con.siderable quantity of herring was preserved by salting, the chief feature of the business was the manufacture of oil and fertilizer. One hundred and twenty-two itersons were employed in various capacities, of whom 93 were in the oil works and 29 on steamers engaged in fishing. Of the fiictory employes 47 vere whites, 4 were Chinese, and 42 were uati ves. Four steamers, of GO, 42, 23, and 4 tons, respectively, were used. The value of the i)roperty and improvements was $100,000.
During the year 93,000 barrels of herring were taken, from which the following were prepared: 500 half barrels of salt herring, 1,000 barrels of salt herring, 310,000 gallons of oil, 700 tons of guano. The oil, the price of which at the trade centers was 25 to 35 cents a gallon, had an aggre- gate value of $85,000. The value of fertilizer was $21,000, or $30 a ton.
304 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES.
THE ATKA MACKEREL.
The few persons who are familiar with th's fish pronounce it one of the best of tlie numerous food-flslu's found in the waters of Ahiska. Its name is misleading in that the lish has no relation to the mackerel family and does not resemble it in looks or flavor. While found at numerous places in Alaskan waters, it has so far been observed most plentifully around the far-distant island of Attn. This island is tlie outer one in the Aleutian chain, and is the most western land belonging to the United States. It is so far west that it might, with almost equal propriety, be called east, being nearer the Asiatic shore than to any other mainland. San' Francisco vessels engaged in trading or seal hunting have from time to time brought back larger or smaller quan titles of salted Atka mackerel, usually taken in the vicinity of Attn. One of these vessels, the schooner Rosa Sparks, of 42.11 tons, with a crew of 20 men, which was engaged during the season of 1891 in lishiuf: and sealing, returned with 148 seal skins and 324 barrels of Atka mack- erel. The latter found a ready sale at $15 a barrel. The captain of tlie, vessel, Mr. S. L. Weatherbee, reports that his catch was made at Attn Island, and furnishes the following statements on the subject :
Atka mackerel are reported by the natives as reinaiiiiii}; in the vicinity of Atka all winter, but do not reach Attn before April 10, from wliicb date up to Septeinlx r tlioy are found among tlie kelp in fjreat abundance. Up to .Fnly tliey are very fiit arid in tbcir best condition. The spawning season is in .Inly, at which time tlicy grow thin and poor. The fish arc taken in 2.5 fathoms of water by Jigging, no bait being required. Three or four hooks are fastened to;rt:thcr and placed in a mold, into which lead, pewter, or some similar composition is run, welding the hook.s together and leaving a shank that is polished up brightly to attract the fish; this also serves as a sinker. These lines and hooks are put down through the; kelp, amidst which the fish are feeding. Being attracted by the bright metal, to which the hooks are attached, they swim around it in such numbers that their capture is easy by simply drawing the hooks up through them, and rejicatiug the act so long as a catch is desired. From 8 to 10 barrels a day have been taken by two men in a single dory. Cod follow the Atka mackerel to this place to feed on them. The few Atka mackerel that have occasionally reached San Francisco are always eagerly sought after, and some fish have been sold at $20 a barrel. Seines or nets of any kind could not be used to advant.-.ge, owing to the abuiiumce of the large kelp among which the fish are always found.
