  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fishing on the Columbia River Year: 1925 During the spring and summer, bar fishing is not an uncommon method of taking salmon in the Columbia River near its mouth and along the ocean beaches. Long seines are lowered some distance from shore and dragged in on the beach. This is a very profitable way of fishing when the salmon run is at its height. Teams of horses are often used to haul the nets in.

In the larger and more modern plants very specialized machinery is used. The first machine through which the salmon are run is the "iron chink". This removes the head and the fins and opens and cleans the fish. The work is done very rapidly and quite completely. The cleaning, however, must usually be completed by hand, which process removes clotted blood and other waste material.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Dragging in the nets - Fishing on the Columbia River, Oregon Year: 1925 More profitable means of taking salmon are found in the gill net, the purse seine, and the fish trap. The gill net is stretched partially across the channel of the river or run out in front of the fish as they are moving up stream. They become entangled in the meshes of the net, which holds them fast until they are hauled in. The purse seine is used extensively on large bodies of water, such as Puget Sound. A very long seine is used which is circled about a run of salmon and then drawn together at the bottom, is then hauled in.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Some of the fisherman who supply the Astoria canneries, Columbia River Year: 1925 This is a typical scene showing a group of fishermen near the mouth of the Columbia. The salmon fishing season is comparatively short and the efforts of the fisherman are exceedingly strenuous during this period. In the Columbia river the spring season for salmon opens May 1st. The principal run of the Chinook and Sockeye salmon is in the spring and summer. Other species run best in the fall, so that the season for the Silver Salmon in the smaller rivers of the state is in the autumn. The salmon when taken by net, trap or wheel, are usually transported to the cannery by boat.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Canned salmon Year: 1925 This slide shows a view of the warehouse with thousands of stored salmon tins. The cans are lacquered as soon as possible. This is also done by a machine through which the cans are run, coating them with a thin layer of lacquer which prevents rusting while stacked in the warehouse or on the shelves of the retail merchant. The final process is the labeling, which in the larger canneries is done by a labeling machine. The cans are run by belt through paste and the labels are rolled on the cans are dumped out as fast as two men can carry them away. Some canneries are provided with a weighing machine for the final testing of the finished product. The scales are very delicate, tripping off to one side the cans that are even very slightly under weight. These must be properly labeled as under weight and not sold with the general standard weight lot. Before shipment the cans must be crated. The cases or boxes in which the cans are packed for shipment come to the canneries knocked down and must be assembled and nailed. In the best grade of salmon the cans are often wrapped in paper by hand before packing in the cases, as shown by the slide.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Interior of a salmon canning establishment, Astoria, Oregon Year: 1925 This shows the actual canning. Women are largely employed in the canneries for this particular part of the work. They become very skillful and are able to make very good wages, the sum usually depending upon the number of crates they are able to fill per day. Tests for weight are made while the cans are being filled and if any are found under weight they must be refilled. The lidding process follows. Some years ago the lids were placed by hand, then the cans run over a belt through a machine which soldered the lids. In late years most of the canneries have been provided with a new machine which entirely eliminates the soldering process. The lids are placed and crimped on automatically by one stroke of this machine. It is a most remarkable labor saving device, doing the work much more quickly and efficiently than the old soldering method. The cans are then stacked in crates and placed in a retort heated to the proper temperature. This drives the excess water and gases from the flesh, but the temperature is not hot enough to drive off the rich oils. The lids are then punctured and after the water and gas are freed the small holes are soldered and the cans again placed in a retort and the cooking process takes place. After cooking, the cans are cooled and stacked in the warehouse to await the lacquering, labeling and boxing for shipment.
