Scope and content
In October of 1937, Clarence Duncan, the superintendent at the Washington State salmon hatchery at Voight's Creek near Orting, and his assistant, William Mueller (far right), struggled to lift a net full of Humpback salmon from a trap.The largest run in years had just come up the creek to spawn. By 1937, Mr. Duncan had already worked around hatcheries for about 15 years. He had worked at Voight's Creek for seven years. (T.Times, 10/21/1937, p.20).
