FISH HERDING
ELECTRICALLY
NOVEL EXPERIMENT WILL BE
TRIED AT NAKNEK BY BU
REAU OF FISHERIES
Herding salmon by electricity
thru a weir into spawning' streams
is the latest experiment to be un
dertaken by the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries in its campaign for the
conservation of that fish in Alaska
waters. The scene of the test will
be at the mouth of Naknek River
in the Bristol Bay district, one of
the most famous of the Territory’s
red salmon streams.
The apparatus is simple and in
expensive. It consists of a few logs,
some chains and a small storage
battery outfit. The logs will be an
chored below the weir gate and the
other end extending some 120 feet
below the weir. The opening at
the other end will correspond in
width to that of the weir. Attached
to the logs for most of the length of
the channel will be steel chains
These will be wired to the battery
outfit which will furnish current
for charging. Only 250 wafts is
required to charge the outfit.
Fish, it is said, approaching weirs
show a tendency to mill around and
avoid the entrance. The idea of
the electrically charged chains, is
that when the runs come into fresh
water, the fish will be kept moving
directly toward the weir gate. If
they try to move toward the wings,
the charged chains will bar their
path and force them back into the
channel.
The idea is an adaption from the
electrical screen developed last
year by means of which salmon fry
and other fish were kept from es
caping into “diversion” irrigation
channels, ditches, etc- The basic
principle is that the water is elec
trically charged and prevents the
passage of fish thru the charged
area.

Camels
are made to smoke
FROM THE DAY the choice leaves of sun-mellowed Turkish and
Domestic tobaccos are first selected for Camel Cigarettes, every step
in their manufacture is headed toward just one goal—the making of
a thoroughly enjoyable smoke.
Pleasure, found at its best in Camels, is the only reason for smoking.
That’s why Camels make no pretense of being anything but a smoke.
Camel is a blend of exquisite smoothness, mild and mellow and
marvelously fragrant. Have a Camel!
