“The House That Quality Built”
green heads and tails. The females
of the sockeye which spawn in the
Birkenhead River, at the head of
the Harrison-Lillooet Lakes section
though they were about the same
in size. They were very much larg
i cr and far more highly coloured
| .ban any of the races of sockeye
w.iicli spawn in Cultus, Morris, and
Pitt Lakes, or in any other area
in the Lower Fraser. In this con
nection it is well to recall that in
Dr. Gilbert’s report of 1918, page
13, referring to the fish-lakes of
'the lower basin, he states that “\Ve
aifirm ’without qualification that
they are as distinctly populated as
though located in separate streams
independently entered from the
sea.”
‘Notwithstanding that it was be
lieved that very few sockeye spawn
ed in the Shuswap or any other area
in the Fraser above Hell’s Gkte four
years ago, I am of the opinion that
the fish that we saw spawning in
Adams and Little Rivers this year
were the product of fish that spawn
ed in the upper-river basin four
years ago.
"Conditions at Hell’s Gate Can
yon in the Fraser were under con
stant observation throughout the
season. Dominion Fishery Office**
T. E. Scott, who has been stationed
there since 1913, advised Major
Motherwell that very few sockeye
w- re seen there in July and in Aug
ust, that but a limited number were
seen there in September but that
considerable number of sockeye
reached the Gate early in October
and passed through with no delay.
Presumably the latter were the fish
0 at were later noted in Adams and
Little Rivers, Shuswap area. On
October 25th Officer Scott reported
that a very large run—“the largest
seen there in some years”—reached
the Gate. Water conditions were,
however, unfavorable, and many of
the fish, which appeared in good
condition, were not seen passing
through—“either the fish had no
inclination to do so, or they were
not strong enough.” That some of
them did pass the Gate at that time
time is evidenced by he fact that
sockeye in numbers were seen short
ly aftrward in both the Fraser and
the Thompson above Lytton. What
be une of the fish in this late Octo
ber run that are supposed not to
have passed through the canyon is
problematical, as no dead were ob
served at the Gate or below it, and
no <lead or living fish were seen
dropping down-stream. However,
Officer Scott reports that from the
end of November to December 10th
some thousands of sockeye fish
which closely resembled those seen
at the Gate entered and spawned in
Fawkawa Lake a small lake near
Hope. He had never known sock
P7’e to enter that lake so late in the
year. The number o? females great
|v outnumbered the males.
Where the sockeye spawned that
pas.*eci through Hell’s Gate late
in October and November and which
wf re seen in the Fraser and Thomp
son above Lytton, is unknown, not
withstanding that Provincial and
Dominion officers tried to locate
theta. They were not seen either
in Sliuswap or Seton Lukes,' or re
ported from any other lake section.
'the early run of sockeye to the
Birkenhead river, at the head of the
Birrison Lillooet Lakes section, was
distinctly disappointing—the small
est September run in years. Some
uneasiness was felt until October,
when a good run began and equal
ed in numbers those that have
spawned in that section for many
year. The Birkenhead is the only
section in the Fraser basin where the
run of sockeye shows no sign of
diminishing.
Report from the Skoena River
This report was made by the Drs.
Clemens and shows two general
tendencies. “The first, is a ggradu
al reduction in the average size of
the fish, especially marked in the
case of the Fraser fish, but not evi
dent in the Naas runs. This condi
tion may have been brought about
by the selective action of the gear I
used, since up to this time a regu-l
laiion has been in force prohibiting)
tne use of nets of smaller mesh j
than 5 % inches. Reports from i
spawning beds generally have in-!
dicated the presence of larg<j num
bers of small males, which doubt
less had passed through the nets
The restriction as to size of mesh
will be removed after 192S. If
smaller mesh is used therafter the |
smaller fish—mainly males—should :
be generally reduced in numbers. |
However, the capture of a greater !
proportion of the undersized fish |
will mean a small average size in i
the records in coming years and a ]
new series of date will be recorded. :
A second tendency in the sockeye
runs is toward the development of j
late runs, again particularly pro- j
nounced in the case of the Fraser j
River. It appears that the late-run j
ning fish are little, if any, interfer- !
ed with by fishing operations and i
tnat they are gradually increasing
in numbers.
SHEEP RANGING SUCCESSFUL
IN THE ALEUTIANS
-o
Sheep ranging in the Aleutian Is
lands has been proved to be success
ful and after certain problems have
been solved, will be even more mark
edly successful, declared Dr. H. W
Alberts, Chief Agronomist in Alas
ka, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
He has just completed a six months’
study of grazing conditions in which
he covered the Aleutians thoroughly
“There are many thousands
square miles of excellent grazing
land in the Aleutian Islands where
the ranging of sheep has proven a
success. There are still many pro
blems to be solved. When this has
been done, it will be even more sue
cessful,” Dr. Alberts said.
