To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The West Canadian and United States fishery, with which we shall first deal, is the newest, and at the same time the most profitable and most productive of any; more than half a million cases of tinned fish being ex- ported every year from round about the Fraser River alone. The annual migration of these fish is very remarkable. They enter the rivers in spring, as soon as the waters have become more or less swollen by the rains, swimming in great numbers and usually in mid-stream and near the s...urface. At the beginning of the migration the shoals seem nervous and easily frightened; so much so that a floating spar or bit of timber, or any shock such as the blasting of rocks near at hand, has been known to drive them out to sea again. But, once well in the stream, their conduct is reversed ; nothing will daunt them ; nothing will turn them back ; rapids, currents, and whirl- pools are matters of little moment to them ; they will spring from the low level to the top of a cascade ten or fifteen feet high.
