4J-(2l. Soi:^th Fork of Taneum Creek .-r (June 22, 1936; Shuman 

 and Kolloen.) 'fnis strewn is 9 miles long, of v;hich the Icr^i'er 3 

 miles were surveyedo Its f lovr was IV c.foS«, but it is reported 

 to become nearly dry in late sxjmmer, A 25 foot falls o l/2 miles 

 upstream is a total barrier. There is spavminf, area for a few 

 fish in the lower 3 miles, but no runs are reported. 



4Ko Swauk Creek .-- (July 17 and 18, 1936 j Shiman and Petersono) 

 Enters the Yakima 153 miles upstream. It is 20 miles long;, of which 

 13,6 miles v;ere surveyed. The observed flow was 9 c.f.So, but the 

 lower section becomes dn'" during the irrip;ation season. The upper 

 portion of the stream has the best spawning; areas. There were twel-'j-e 

 small unscreened irrigation ditches diverting a total of 18 c.f.s. 

 at the time of observation, but having considerably larger total 

 capacity. Eleven of the diversions had dams that would hinder the 

 upstream migration of fish but vrould not be complete barriers except 

 at very low water stap-es. There are no r-ons of salmon remaining in 

 Swauk Creek All tributaries except Iron Greek are dry or nearly 

 so in summer and of no value to salijion. 



4K-(l)o Iron Creek o-- (July 19, 1936 i Shuman and Kolloen.) 

 This 3 mile tributary to upper Swauk Creek was surveyed for lo2 

 miles o It is small, having a flow of only 8 c.f.s. at the time 

 of observation, but has some excellent spawning areas. The 

 stream cannot be reached by migratory fish at the present time, 

 but steelhead were reported in it prior to 1915, fnd native trout 

 are present in fair numbers. 



4L. Teanaway River. — (July 2 to 5, 1936j Shuman and Peterson.) 

 Enters the Yakima approximately 159 miles above the motith and extends 

 for 11 1/2 miles through a small cultivated valley to the confluence 

 of the Middle and West Forks, The stream was completely surveyed. 

 The gradient is slight, and the discharge becomes very low in the 

 fall. There were 9 irrigation ditches diverting a total of 56 c.f.s o 

 at the time of observation. All of the ditches have been screened. 

 Three low dams were found, none over 3 feet in height, but since 

 each diverts the total stream flow during the irrigation period, 

 they are low water barriers to fish. It was reported that good 

 runs of salmon occurred prior to 1904. From 1905 until 1916 logging 

 companies were blasting in the stream channels and driving logs down 

 the river, v/hich may have contributed to the destruction of the salmon 

 run. 



4L-(1)» Worth Fork of the Teanaway River .— (July 3, and 12-14, 

 1936} Shiman and Kolloen.) This stream is over 17 miles long, of 

 which the lower 14 miles were survyed. The lower 2 miles of the 

 stream is in a small cultivated valley, but the remainder is in 

 increasingly rugged country, and the upper 2 miles survej^ed ivere 

 too steep and rough to be of value to salmon. The flow was 26 

 c.f.s o at a point 9 miles upstream. A low dam I/4 mile upstream 

 diverts the entire flow during periods of low v/ater. Three other 

 low dems were also present. Several log jams and beaver dams may
