Many thousands of humpback salmon, native of the Puget sound, where they were collected by the government two years ago, entered Pembroke, Dennys, Penobscot, St. Croix and other rivers in eastern Maine tills autumn as part of the fisheries bureau plan of stocking the East with the pride of the Pacific coast catch. The bureaus investigation shows that the humpback in its new environment retains its Pacific coast habit of proceeding to the ocean shortly after it begins to swim, and returning to the rivers to spawn and die when two years old. The government has made annual shipments of eggs of the humpback salmon acros the continent for the past five years, drawing the consignments alternately from Washington and Alaska. The Sort of Man.
