Salmon To
Ride Home
Naturalists tell us that when
salmon are old enough to spawn
they return to the stream in which
they were hatched.
Out in Washington the building
of the Grand Coulee Dam will cut
off their home territory from the
thousands of salmon that return
to it each year, leaping up the falls
to reach the desired spot. These
fish are to be caught below the big
dam and will be placed in tank cars
and taken to streams that flow in
to the Columbia River below the
dam. Federal and State Depart
ments of Conservation are in
charge of the work and arrange
ments are being made to keep the
water in the tank cars at the prop
er temperature, to have the traps
in place at the proper time and to
have plenty of trained men ready
for the work.

Since salmon make their trips
upstream when four years old, it
will take years to transplant those
which will try to return to the
1,000 miles of streams cut off by
the Grand Coulee Dam and which
will kill themselves in their efforts
unless taken in charge by “orga
nized relief”.
