40 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 



that additional waters in the vicinity be closed to commercial fishing, 

 and an order was accordingly issued, effective July 6. The last of the 

 run was counted on July 22, when the total escapement for the season 

 numbered 33,514 red salmon. Operations at the weir were carried on 

 by James Hart and supervised by Capt. R. L. Cole. 



KALGIN ISLAND STREAM 



Although no weir structure was placed in the stream on Kalgin Island, 

 a count of salmon that ascended on daylight tides was made as in 

 previous years by a watchman stationed near the mouth of the stream. 

 From June 11 to August 10, inclusive, there were counted 9,335 red 

 salmon and 1,470 cohos, and it was estimated that approximately 

 3,000 reds which could not be tallied escaped during the night tides. 

 Attention was given to keeping the stream mouth free from shifting 

 sands and to exterminating predatory trout, of which 6,596 were 

 captured during the season. The work at this place was performed 

 by Lee Waddell under the direction of Capt. R. L. Cole. 



ORZENOI RIVER 



The Orzenoi weir was ready for operation on June 14. Although 

 salmon were showing in the bay as early as June 3, none ascended the 

 stream until June 24, when 17 chums passed through the weir. The 

 first red salmon were counted the following day, and pinks began to 

 ascend on July 19. During the early part of the season a considerable 

 number of predatory trout were removed from the stream. The 

 counting weir was maintained through August 11, when the total 

 escapement of salmon numbered 5,756 reds, 14,470 pinks, 2,092 chums, 

 and 558 cohos. Roy A. Buck carried on the work at this weir, under 

 the supervision of Capt. J. J. O'Donnell. 



MORZHOVOI BAY 



The Morzhovoi weir, on the salmon stream emptying into Middle 

 Lagoon was installed the last week of June, and a watchman was 

 placed there on July 1. Salmon began to ascend on July 2, and the 

 run continued through September 7, reaching its peak on August 29, 

 when an escapement of 4,712 was recorded. The total count during 

 the season was 28,590 red salmon. The work at this weir was per- 

 formed by Harry Hegman, under the direction of Capt. J. J. O'Donnell. 



BEAR RIVER 



Following an unsuccessful attempt to install the Bear River weir 

 at the former site, the material was moved downstream about 75 yards, 

 where the river is uader and shallower and the current is less swift. 

 Here the rack was erected without difficulty and was ready for oper- 

 ation on June 24, on which date 14 red salmon were counted. The 

 main run passed upstream between July 11 and July 24, after which 

 the daily escapement was much smaller, although fairly steady, until 

 counting was discontinued at the close of August 21. The total 

 number counted during the season consisted of 210,208 red salmon, 

 3,145 chums, 112 kings, and 84 pinks. It was estimated that about 

 15,000 salmon were still in the river below the weir when the structure 

 was removed on August 22. C. R. Sullivan carried on counting 

 operations at this weir under the direction of Capt. J. J. O'Donnell.
