SALMON SLAUGHTERED. to see how the magnificent salm on, of the Pacific coast are caught almost takes the heart out of the mad jv-ho' iovs to cast the fly. for thesrf Jordly fish, he would lose It. entirely he venture to Ungava bay, in tipper Canada, and see how they capture Eon there," said a former agent 01 -Hudson Bay company to a New Sun man. "It was only a few years ago thai the possibilities of the south coast of Ungara bay and Hudson straits in the Way of salmon and lake trout fishinf-were discovered, and to say that they are now being worked for aU they are worth is putting1 it mildly.

The salmon 9f that high latitude are undoubtedly the finest In the world. They are fui ther north than any other, fealmori taken on this continent, and the tower the tempera tore of the water the bet-" ter salmon are. The Bestigouche, or any. of the salmon of the St. Lawrence basin, are far superior to the jQregorl salmon, and the Hudson straits salmon are just as much superior to the Restr-gotiche fish.

Besides the salmon th waters of the Hudson strait coast teerd with a deep-sea trout which has not itl like on the face bf the globe. "But the method adequate for catcti ing these fish is just as peculiar as the fish themselves are, and it is doubtful If salmon or trout fishing is done in the same way "elsewhere. The -coast. otf Hudson straits is indented by thour sands of small bays and many rivers traverse it to the bay. At low tido there Is little water in any of these inlets, but at high tide the water rushes up Into them for long distances.

The tides rise twenty-five aid JbyqA fifty feet. At. high tide, in the salmon and trout running seasons, these follow with the water into the bays and rivers as fast as the tide goes) and swarm back it when. It I have seen the smaller rivers; streams, or rather stream beds, one hundred feet wide, actually choked froin sb6roj shore with the biggest salmon a ma.11 ever saw struggling upward with the tide. "It is not more than eight or nine years ago that the first atiempf as inade to establish fisheries tFfero ou large scale.

Drawing seines was imr possible, and the fish wheels of Oregon were impracticable. So a simple but exceedingly effective trap was intro; It was no original- vith the salmon fishermen, the idea bejng borrowed from the porpoise fishernii of Hudson bay. Immense nets were made from the largest and strongest twine, and of length and depth to suit the inlet to be fished. At JptTt the nets are set at the moutlls of the bays or inlets, and the top of the net i hauled io the bottom so as to offer no obstruction to the water or fish as they pass upward with the rising tide. Just-before the tide turns the line holding the floater, side of net.

to the anchored side is drawn out. The buoys instantly rise to the surface and the trap Is set. When the tide comes back men are stationed above the nets some distance, and with poles and brush beat the water and make noises Of various kinds. This is to keep the great body of fish from pressing upon the net at once, and as the fish are- exj ceedingly timid they rush back up stream by the. thousand, and will actually be left on the dry land by the receding tide, so panic stricken do tbey become at the hoise made by the men When the tide has gone out, the drj beds of the Inlets will be piled with, tons upon tons of salmon or trout.

Xbt salmon and trout, for both' kind ar never found in the same Inlet. In oneV the trap may secure fifty or one ht-lj dred tons of salmon at a run, whil9 next estuary below the catch will trout.
