activities commenced, but the first count was made on June 8. 

 During the next three days the weir was completely submerged and 

 no count was possible. On June 12 the first pink salmon passed 

 upstream, but no appreciable numbers appeared until June 26, after 

 which the run increased gradually, reaching its peak on July 13, when 

 33,754 were counted. A second good showing was made on August 

 3, when 32,215 pink salmon passed through the weir. The numbers 

 declined steadily thereafter until counting was discontinued on Sep- 

 tember 7. The total escapement of pink salmon was 563,938, by 

 far the largest number recorded in any of the six years that the weir 

 has been in operation. In addition, 1,087 cohos, 65 chums, 57 kings, 

 20 reds, and 307 steelheads were counted. The work was again in 

 charge of Walter J. Larson, under the general supervision of Assistant 

 Agent S. A. Baker. 



CALDER CREEK 



The counting of salmon ascending Calder Creek was begun in 1930 

 by the erection of a new 90-foot weir, work on which was started 

 June 19 and completed the following day. The first salmon passed 

 through on July 15, when seven chums were counted. A few pink 

 salmon appeared on July 29, but the run was very light and irregular 

 until the beginning of September. The weir was maintained through 

 September 29, when the total count of salmon consisted of 34,925 

 pinks, 27,595 chums, and 95 cohos. Operations were carried on by 

 Richard Emery under direction of Warden C. L. Olson. 



EAGLE CREEK 



The construction of the weir at Eagle Creek was begun on June 

 19 and completed on the morning of June 24. Red salmon began 

 to pass through on June 25, chums on July 23, and cohos and pinks 

 on August 13. Very few reds appeared after the 1st of September, 

 while the runs of the other three species were at their height about 

 the middle of that month. The water was too high and discolored 

 to permit counting after October 1, and the structure was removed 

 on October 5. There were 233,992 pink salmon, 23,340 chums, 6,589 

 cohos, and 6,373 reds counted during the season. The work was in 

 charge of J. A. Kelley, under the direction of Assistant Agent S. A. 

 Baker. 



KEETE CREEK 



A new 60-foot weir in the small salmon stream at the head of Keete 

 Inlet was completed on June 16 after two days' work. Fifteen red 

 salmon were counted through on July 21, but from that date to Sep- 

 tember 11 less than 200 salmon ascended. Counting was continued 

 through October 11, when 15,929 pink salmon, 12,220 chums, 1,642 

 cohos, and 70 reds had been tallied. A. H. Stensland had charge of 

 counting operations, under direction of Warden C. L. Olson. 



KLAWAK CREEK 



Work on a new weir at Klawak Creek was begun on Jime 7, when 

 a raft of lumber was brought into Klawak Harbor and towed upstream 

 to the lower falls. From this point all material had to be packed 300 

 feet over- a trail to the weir site. Here the stream is 230 feet wide 

 and has a normal deptli of 18 inches, which often increases several 

 feet during freshets. The weir and a camp for the watchmen were
