    SALMON-TAGGING EXPERIMENTS IN ALASKA, 1930 1 JJ. By WILLIS H. RICH, Ph. D., Professor of Zoology, Leland Stanford Junior University CONTENTS Introduction "___________ Page399 Experiments near Cape Fox .. .. 402 Experiments near Kasaan Bay __ -_-------_---- c .. _ .. .. ________________ 404 Conclusions . .. .. .. _____________________________________ 406 INTRODUCTION Two distinct series of tagging experiments were carried out by the Bureau of Fisheries during the summer of 1930. The first involved the tagging of 1,994 salmon liberated from the traps located in the region of Cape Fox and Sitklan and Kanaganut Islands. This was undertaken at the request of the Department of Fisheries of the Dominion of Canada and was designed to test the extent to which these traps drew upon the salmon runs native to streams in British Columbia. The second series of experiments was conducted near the entrance to Kasaan Bay on the eastern coast of Prince of Wales Island, southeastern Alaska. One thousand four hundred and ninety~ five fish were tagged and liberated from traps situated both north and south of the entrance to the bay. These experiments were carried out to test the extent to which these traps drew on the Kasaan Bay runs and to what extent on runs native to streams located elsewhere, the resident purse seiners claiming that the traps'caught almost exclusively Kasaan Bay fish while the trap operators claimed that the traps caught chiefly migratory fish that were passing through Clarence Strait on their way to more distant spawning grounds. The reader is again referred to the preceeding reports of this series,2 especially that for 1923, for a description of the tags and methods used.

    A - Te ioy of h Poa DithTic Corps 0f Egirteers ii 871 1969 U. S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, PORTLAND CORPS OF ENGINEERS PORTLAND, OREGON Printed: March 1970 This history of the Portland District was researched, and edited by Henry R. Richmond!!!, a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley where he was a history major. FOREWORD Since arriving in Portland in July 1967 to become District Engineer, I have had many opportunities to acquaint myself with the long, colorful history of the Portland District. One hundred years ago, the work of the District consisted of small, simple, almost quaint efforts to improve navigation. Pulling snags from river waterways, cutting a bar to seventeen feet with a primitive old bucket dredge, or dynamiting rocks out of the Columbia River are repre- sentative of the work done in the early days. By comparison, the massive, complex dams built by the District in modern times have made significant changes in the Columbia and Willamette river valleys. The story of how and why the District has progressed from small dredging and snagging activities to a great multiple purpose construction program is a very interesting one. Even more worthwhile is the story of how the work of the District has contributed to the welfare of the people of the Northwest. As this history explains, the work of the Corps helped to open up the Northwest. The prosperity of Portland and the Willamette Valley depended in large part on the early navigation projects of the Portland District. The Oregon Coast has been opened up to shipping by large jetty and dredging projects.

Ordinance 1917, which the Assembly on Monday unanimously voted to in- troduce, would allow an intergovernmental entity called the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission to collect sales taxes from online purchases on be- half of members of the commission. To facilitate that end, the ordinance would adopt the commission’s remote sales tax code as a new section of the borough’s existing tax code, potentially generating between $400,000 and $1 million in new revenues each year for the borough, according to Monday’s agenda state- ment.
