Scope and content
Humpback salmon returning to the Puyallup River hatchery on Voight Creek, near Orting. Eight thousand salmon are collected in the gate during the two-week run. The salmon get their name "humpback" because a hump rises in the middle of their backs as they progress from salt water to fresh water. The longer they are out of salt water, the more pronounced the hump. Ordered by Duncan and Mueller. (T. Times, 10/21/1937, p. 20).
