The fishermen were unanimous in their denunciation of the ,sea lions. A fishing 

 c-o,npany at C unook, Wash., states that it was damaged $1,500 in 1901 by sea lion! 

 lettmgfishoutof the nets, the dan.age to the nets not being included The sea 

 hons enter the traps in the same way that fishes do, and, after eating what theJ 

 wish, break their way out through the side ^

It appears from the above that the sea lions are doing very little damage anywhere 

 excepting at the mouth of the Columbia River. The shallow water and the lai; 

 number of salmon make that point a favorite feeding ground, and there is no doubt 

 that the sea lions are doing much damage there.
