| Notes | General business news. Lists salmon canneries operating on the coast, comments on “the short run of salmon this year” on the Siuslaw, thought to be caused by “the large number of spotted or hairless seals at the mouth of the river… The sand banks are simply alive with them and subscriptions are being taken up to get ammunition to set men to kill them off.” There is also an interesting news note about a die-off of herring during their run in Yaquina Bay. “…thousands of herring were strewn on the beach of the Pacific Ocean near Yaquina Bay … This year heavy sudden rains fell when the herring were going upstream and so much fresh water overwhelmed the fish.” |
