 THE FISHERIES OF THE PACIFIC COAST.

 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

144 REPORT OP COMMISftlONER OP FISH AND PI8HKRIE8. 
 
 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 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

 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:

188 RKl'ORT OF C'OM>riaslONEIl OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
 
 SAN DIPUU) rOTTNTV. 
 
 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

 ii;;Ie hook. Just above the hook a deo(»y bait is fastened consisting 
 
 ii iticcc of bone sometimes cut to resemble a small fish, but in n)ost 
 substitute aii^***'"^ simply a narrow fragment witliout definite shape. 
 
 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

 made of iron, to better withstand the heavy swell and rougli sea. TluJ 
 general style is similar to the traps used by the lobster ilsliermen < 
 Massachusetts. The frante is constructed of 'finch ;j;as-pii)e, tin' boi 
 of galvanizediron wire, twine being used at the ends in the constniij

 These mollusks appear to have increased to some extent during tl| 
 past few years, owing to the discontinuance of the Ciiinese fisherie^ 
 the low prices received for shells and meat affording no inducement I 
 white tiohermeu to undertake the business. 
 
 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

 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,'

 .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,

 fish of smaller size. In July and August the large fish withdraw ai

 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 
 
 :iKen by throwing a lasso over tluiir heads.

 shells which had for some time prevailed oifered small iiiducemeii 
 for even the frugal Chinese to take these mollnsks, which consequentl 
 had an opportunity to increase. The Chinese gather from the roclj

 SAN L,VIS OBISPO COUNTY. 
 
 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

 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 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. On somi

 if these old beds were foiiiul numbers of iiuMliinii-sixcd eiistorn oysters 
 ki fiodd condition. Tliese were ])robiibly the outcome of spat that had 
 [lifted with the ti(h'. from tiui cultivated beds of eastern oysters. 
 
 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 
 
 icaciied toward the end of Augu.st. There i.s considerable difference 
 
 the si/e and value of the codfish found in difl'erent parts of Bering 
 li;i. As time passes and nu>re knowledge of the extensive tishing banks 
 
 ;;iiined, fisli of larger size, with thicker flesh and of better quality, 
 re iiiken. A decided improvement in the(iuality of the catch is noticed 
 |i»iiipiired with a few year.s back. 
 
 On entering Jiering Sea vessels first anchor and begin fishing on 
 |liiii(' l»ank, at the entrance to Bristol Bay. Cod are not always plen- 
 |t'nl in this locality ami, if scarce, a move is made to grounds oft" Port 
 
 (iller, which is the region resorted to during June and July. It is 
 Islicd over for some 10 miles northwest and southeast of Port Moller. 
 ktcasKuially two trips are made, or a vessel will start later than the 
 late mentioned; if so, the catch during August and September is 
 Ibtamed farther north, oft" Cape Pierce and Ilagemeister Island.

 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

 The average number of seals and sea oilers taken by each ve.ssa 
 varied greatly during the four years named, and shows the uncertaiiitij 
 attending the pro.secution of this tlshery. Some vcs.sels returned h(>iiif| 
 without having taken a single pelt, widle others obtained as many 
 2,000 skins. The following brief statement of averages, based on tliij

 Probably no other business on the Pacific Coast vitli anything liktl 
 the capital invested is foUowed with the uncertainty of the Arctic wlial(| 
 fishery. One year may witness a remunerative fishery, to bo foUowe 
 the next season with heavy loss of life, money, and property. 
 fi.shery continues to center at San Francisco, which, in addition \i 
 having a large local fieet, is the permanent headquarters of numbefi 
 of vessels belonging in New Bedford, Mass. 
 
 With the low prices received for oil, the whale fishery would sooij 
 come to an end were it not for the more valuable whalebone. Ofte^ 
 during recent years oidy the bone has been saved if other whales an 
 in sight, the remainder of the carcass being cast adrift. The luarkej 
 price of whalebone has ruled high, with wide fiuctuatious from time I

 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.

 Of Die four years ei)vered by this report the fisheries of Humlml 
 Couh y were most important in 18.S1>, in tlic nuitter of procUicts ai 
 capital invested, owiuf;' to the fact that in I hat year a salmon caiim 
 was ojierated which was idle duriiii>- the three followinji' years. Tl 
 is one of the most important fishiii';' counties in Califoiiiia. Over i" 
 fishermen are regularly employed duiing the fishing season and tl 
 
 vabie of the eateh is from 8b'»,0(i(> to *8(),0()() annually. The 
 
 prominent product is the salmon. The catch of salt-water fish and 
 clams and crabs is also important. The principal fishing center 
 Eureka, situated near Eel Kiver, in which most of the salmon are taki 
 The salt-water fish are obtained at the mouth ftf the river, ofVTriniihi 
 located a lew miles to the north, and in Humboldt Bay. The W. 
 demand for (ish in I'^ureka and vicinity takes a large part of the cati 
 the surplus fish being seut to San Francisco by steamer. The yield 
 salmon during the tour years named was over l,000,()(tO pounds aim. 
 ally, and that of other lish aggregated several hundred thousai 
 pounds. About 1,000 bushels of clams and L',100 to ;},000 dozen 
 crabs were taken and sold each year. The number of cases of caiiut 
 salmon prepared at the caiuiery during 1880 was ll,(ir)LJ. 
 
 DKh NOUT]; (01 NTV. 
 
 Up to the ])n!sent time the fisheries of this county have been liiiiiin 
 to the taking of salmon at and near the mouths of Smirli and Klaiiia;! 
 rivers. A small snlmon cannery on each river consumes the bnllil 
 the catch, a part of which is also used for local consumption, aiHlj 
 part salted and sliip])c(l to San i'raucisco. 
 
 Nearly all the persons employed in the fisliing industrj- of these \< 
 rivers are Indians, native to the section, there being a strong objerlii 
 to the employment of Chinese laborers in this county. 
 
 The following is a statement of the quantities of salmon packed; 
 this county in the years 1889 to 1802, inclusive. The fish utilized ;, 
 cauning consist of chinooks and silversides in about equal proportioni

 CUREY COUNTY. 
 
 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. The Sikhs ami Elk are of little iinpor- 
 Itaiifc as lishing streams e.xcept to the ranchers living near tlteni. 
 
 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 
 
232 REPOHT OF COMMISSIONER 01' FIHH AND FISUEUIES. 
 
 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

 the ten years ending in 1892 was as follows:

 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 summer catch is taken between July 1 and AugustB ^''* /»I"'<'>'-- 
 .'50, and the fall catch represents the remainder of the open season. Bandieis livii

 but the supply is too limited to warrant special operations, and tbe only Bfvir have v

 progress. Two haul seines are here used, and the catch is salted orBumn'iy ^^'i's

 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:

 |aii('liei's living near its mouth. 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 
 
 Duiitli of the river. Some 900 cases of salmon were canned, but 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. A few fishermen of Bandou, near the mouth of the river, (islieilf 
 outside with hook aud line, their catch in 1892 being 10,250 pc uiulso^ 
 halibut, 9,112 pounds of cultus-cod, and 36,010 pounds of rocklisli. 
 
 Voos River and Bay. — The one salniou cannery at Empire City beind 
 idle in 1890, 1891, and 1892, tlio tisheries were not given .so imitij 
 attention as in past years. The saliuou catch had to be salted, iiua

 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 
 
 1 the fish were of good size and quality. The catch in 1S92 amounted 
 pi^iOLS chinook salmon and 103,410 silver salmon, the average gross

 Large and small sardines are very abundant between -luiie and Sep 
 tember, and other varieties of good food-lish are found in the river ;it_ 
 certain seasons, and at all times just outside of the riv«'r. From ils 
 isolated location, with indirect transportation facilities, no attentions 
 paid to any branch of the fisheries excei)t tlie salmon. 
 
 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-

 ]ii>iiiinii h'irtr. — Since the chmint; of the siiuill i-auiieries located on 
 this stream in 1H8U the llshing business has greatly decreased. A few 
 ban els ot salmon are aniiiially packed for their own use by the raiicheiH 
 living near by, and about I(M»,(M)0 pounds arc shijiped fresh to Port- 
 laiiil, Salem, and Albany. In the fall of 1S92 one man from Oak- 
 laixl, Cal., was engaged in salting salmon. At the time the river waH 
 visited by the writer a few hundred barrels had been salted. The fish 
 lie mostly silver salmon, averaging 12 pouiuls ea<'h. The 't>*heriiien

 riic Vaciuina is noticeable as being the only river on the Pacific Coast 
 
 u which any considerable (juantities of oysters are found. The oysters 
 
 ;iri- natives, having the small si^e and peculiar llavor of those taken iu 
 
 Willapa Bay and Puget Sound. The ([uantity of oysters marketed, 
 
 prices received, aud persons employed iu the business, etc., show few 
 
 liiiiiges since the last inquiry, although the pystormeii report that at 
 
 |)r('H«-ut they can not toiig and cull more than 2 or 3 bushels a day as 
 
 iiKainst .5 or 6 bushels in past years. By State law the native oyster 
 
 lieils are a])portioued out to citizens desiring to work them. No one is 
 
 uMiuitted to have over 2 acres. The aggregate acreage is small and 
 
 lie available land is all taken up. Oysters are tonged in water 12 to 
 
 "» feet deep at low tide. The tongs have handles 15 to 18 feet long, 
 
 (line being 20 feet long. 
 
 The price commanded by the oysters remains about the same from 
 far to year, $2.50 a sack when shipped away, or $3 a sack for local use 
 leing the ruling prices. A sack weighs 105 pounds, and is known as 2 
 nifibcls, but is somewhat short of that amount.

 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

 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

 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

 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.

 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 salmo

 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.

 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

 of dog salmon in the river after November 1. 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

 Rtiport U b 
 
 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 miles west of Port Angeles:

292 ItEroRT OF COxMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
 
 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 
 
PACIFIC COAST FI8HERTE8.

 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.

294 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
 
 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 
 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.

 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 
 
298 liEI'oRT OF COMMISSIONEU OK FISH AND FISIIF-KIKS.

 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.
