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 (right), struggled to lift a net full of Humpback salmon from a trap. When the fish swam up the creek to spawn, they were caught in the trap. The salmon were removed from the trap by hand and their eggs harvested. Cropped version of D846 image 1. (T.Times, 10/21/1937, p.20).
