PUGETSOUND
SALMON FAST
DISAPPEARING
OLYMPIA. Wash., March 17 (by
Associated Press). — Washington’s
Salmon industry, once among the
leaders in the state’s activities, has
been almost depleted by the intensive
fishing of the past six years, L. H.
Darwin, state fish commissioner, de
clared in his annual report filed with
Governor Louis F. Hart.
Creation by the legislature of a
fisheries commission to take full
charge of fishing operations in Wash
ington waters was recommended by
Mr. Darwin.
He urged that foreigners be barred
from fishing in the state waters, be
cause, he said, the destruction, in a
larg part, has been accomplished by
persons not citizens of the United
States. During the war, he said,
foreign fishermen banded themselves
together, took the lead in the indus
try and increased the prices.
Sockeye salmon ^uns of the Puget
Sound have almost been wiped out
by the heavy fishing, the report said.
The Silverside and Chum or Dog
salmon have also been reduced in
number. The Humpback salmon runs
probably will be attacked by the fish
ermen next and, in a few years, the
commissioner predicted they, too,
probably will be depleted.
^Columbia River, Grays Harbor and
Willapa Harbor waters of Washing
ton have not suffered to the extent
of Pug^ Sound, Mr. Darwin said,
largely because of the greatly in
creased hatchery w'ork. But as the
fishermen are beginning to take im
mature salmon and are preventing
the fish from reaching their spawn
ing grounds, it is probable these
waters will suffer more soon.
