Five days after landing six salmon, nine fishermen on Thelle River report poor catches with less than one salmon per four days. They blame equipment and lack of knowledge, noting Seattle’s top anglers and planning better gear, while Christmas wishes reflect long spent money and ongoing losses since turning ten.
An American reporter in Port Clements reflects on talking with old timers and the allure of younger locals, then recounts a logging trip near Mayer Lake. A Grumman Goose visits, Joe Foley and George O'Brien tour the camp, and O'Brien lands his first salmon, a 12 pounder, on the river day.
A man prepared salmon eggs and used them to chum the river, then fished with eggs on a trout hook. Within about thirty minutes he collected a sack of cutthroat trout, demonstrating a successful improvised fishing method.
The report centers on the Powell River Company camp where trees are felled with hand saws. Two workers expect to down a four foot tree in under an hour, with a crash audible for miles. Mr. O'Brien notes power saws do not reduce costs, though they are being installed for future use.
In a regional extract the Powell River Company uses smooth macadam roads costing 30000 dollars per mile and long cables reaching 1400 feet to drag logs to trucks, which haul them to bays. Logs are dumped in salt water, rafted, and towed to mills hundreds of miles away. The firm spends 250000 dollars yearly on new cables and employs 2500 workers. The company produces newsprint and trades high grade timber for pulp. An estimated timber value per acre at the mills is around 10000 dollars.
The article tours a Rey logging camp employing 250 men with 40 hour weeks but 48 hours paid at time and a half. Meals are lavish yet silent at tables, with strict rules to speed service. Workers average $1.80 to $1.90 hourly, pay $2 daily for room and board, and claim high accident costs offset payroll.
Logs are branded by each company before immersion in salt water to prevent raft breakups in heavy seas. Branding ensures clear ownership when logs are later gathered, avoiding disputes during recovery.
The narrator reflects on a 14 day salmon fishing trip with six fish for two people, noting embarrassment beside Seattle experts. They plan to return next year to do better, and praise the great time, wonderful experience, and friendly Canadians met along the way.
