To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As soon as it devel- oped that the salmon were being held back the best engineers availa- ble were sent to the spot to consult on the quickest means of over- coming the difficulty. Work Avas immediately started to clear the obstruction, and a temporary sluiceway to enable salmon to pass up was constructed. Some fish got through this, others w^ere carried beyond by hand, and some got up at the time of high water at the beginning of the run, but not more in the aggregate than in a good " off year...," so Avhile the removal of the obstruction was pressed along with all possible energy it could not be completed in time to save 24 the situation. Countless thousands of sockeyes wore themselves to death in repeated fruitless efforts to get beyond the " oate/' tlieir in- stinct com])ellinfi; them to keep on trying instead of falling back and going up the lower tributaries, as is evidenced by the fact that these spawning areas were not more thickly resorted to by sockeyes than in other " big years." Many of the persons engaged in the salmon business clung to the hojje that after all sufficient sockeyes had got up to maintain the " big year," and preparations were made by such accordingly for 1917, the returning year of the cycle, but only to find that their hope was vain and that the "big year" was a thing of the past, unless extraordinary measures are taken to restore it.
