“The House That Quality Built”
FISIjP PROROGATION
By A. J. Sprague
Now what have been the re
j suits of this experiment? Mr. M.
'J. O’Connor, Mr. Henry Roden,
Mi. Martin Madsen and natives
{ near Haines reported that on
j the 20th of August, 1920, thou
sands of humpies were seen in
the Bay and Chilkoot Lake. I
do not mean to say that this is
positive proof, BUT HUMPYS
WF L SEEN AND THIS IS NOT
A HUMPY DISTRICT. I am
getting more information on
this point. It means much to
us here in Alaska. First, it ex
nlodes the theory that the Hum
pys return in two years and
| back into the parent stream
(where, they hatched. This was
the three year cycle, and it must
certainly apply to this particu
lar district at least.—(Note) To

MY MIND, IT SPEAKS THE
WHOLE HISTORY OF THE SEA
ON THE QUESTION OF THE
RETURN OF SALMON INTO
THE PARENT STREAM. WHY
SHOULD SALMON PASS BY
HUNDREDS OF CLEAR WATER
IDEAL SPAWNING STREAMS.
TO ENTER THAT ONE PARTIC
ULAR STREAM WITH APPAR
ENTLY NO ADVANTAGE OVER
ANY OTHER STREAM? IT
MUST ESTABLISH THE HOM
ING INSTINCT,
The time is now ripe for me to
say that I have studied salmon
propogation and spawning con
ditions in Alaska streams, and
what has been accomplished
along practical lines in the ex
periment of stocking, for the
first time, barren lakes—devoid
of fish life because of impassable
falls of water at the outlet, 50 to
60 feet high. Such bodies of
water are alive, however, with
natural fish food, where it has
accumulated for years in vast
storage basins making excel
lent feeding grounds for your
young salmon. Thus it is made
ideal for the propogation of a
continuous food supply for the
young salmon that are placed
therein; and as soon as one spe
cie of salmon are hatched, and
in course of their allotted time
pass to sea, the lake continues
to be a self producing food re
servoir for the next plant of
hatching salmon eggs.
' Compare for a moment this
condition and that of other bar
ren lakes with the two by four
gravelike and unnatural retain
ing ponds at the various hatch
eries, with their unnatural en
vironments, lack of shade, rocks*
snags, and shelter, with costly
construction and draining sys
tem and expensive mainten
ance.
Warm Springs Lake on
Baranof Island, Alaska,
Or Baranof Lake in
Warm Springs Bay.
The area 698 acres, available
spawning grounds, inlet streams
and tributaries of ten and a hail
miles, capable of holding and
feeding, without any cost what
ever, one-half of the entire out
put of young salmon (up to the
age of their passing to their
future home in salt water) of
the annual pack of Alaska.
Plants were made in this lake,
October 23, 1919, to February
13, 1920. In all 2,690,000 eyed
Humpy and Coho eggs were bur
ied in the sand and gravel of
this lake. In November 1919
this lake took on its usual win
ter coat of ice. (THIS AFFORD
ED MORE PROTECTION TO
THE EGGS AND HATCHED
FRY PLANTED THEREIN, AS
NO WATER FOWL OF ANY
DESCRIPTION COULD EAT OR
DESTROY THEM, AND THERE
WERE NO FISH IN THE LAKE
TO DEVOUR THEM).
DEDICATE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH
-o
The Presbyterian church of
Petersburg, formerly the Pio
neers’ Hall, will be formerly de
dicated Sunday evening at 7
o’clock. Reverend David Wag
goner officiating. , The general
public is invited to attend.
The need of such a church was
urged by the Indian people of
Petersburg. They had kept in
tact their organization after the
regular missionary was taken
from the field. Saving a nickle
■here and a dime there from
their shrimp picking, they rais
ed over $400. toward the pur
chase, less than a hundred be
ing raised by other friends. A
personal appeal by Mrs. William
Tamaree to Dr. R. J. Diven, then
in the east was read with the re
sult $2,000 was given by two
ladies expressly to be applied on
purchase of the building. The
National Board of Missions add
ed sufficient to the fund to com
plete purchase price and it be
came the property of the Presby
terian church. This exercise
Sunday evening is dedicatory
and really the beginning of a
fine effort, in the community.
CHICAGO POLICE BUSY

sacre of seven members of Geo.
Moran’s gang in Chicago. Po

identified as one of those who
