The different species have different habits. It is clear that the habit of running is a very old one. I have received from Dr. John C. Merriam, of the University of California, fragments of spawning salmon jaws embedded in rock about the Post- pliocene lakes of Idaho. These dead left-over salmon must be easily thirty thousand years old. The largest and finest salmon is the Chinook, quinnat, or king salmon, known in science as Oncorhynchus tscha- wytscha. This salmon is the common salmon of the ...Sacra- mento and Columbia Rivers. As a food fish it is the best of all its tribe, and in size, when full grown, it ranges from fifteen to one hundred pounds. It spawns in the fall, in snow-fed rivers, and as it ascends very far, it leaves the sea early, at the time of spring freshets. Up the Yukon it runs as far as Caribou Crossing, 2,250 miles, up the Columbia and Sacramento to their very headwaters. This species is the chief stay of the canning industry south of Puget Sound. Its value, commercially, far exceeds that of any other fish of the Pacific, the red salmon excepted.
