Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 February 1910 — Ready for Market. [ARTICLE]
Ready for Market.
Two Canadians were boasting. “Where I come from,"' said the first, “we have a salmon river that rises in some boiling springs. As the salmon climb up the river they gradually get acclimated to the heat of the water and don’t mind it. In fact, when we fish in the highest reaches of the stream we catch our salmon ready boiled.” “I don’t doubt that,” said the second Canadian calmly. “Down my way there’s a curidus salmon river, too. It rises in some tin mines. As the fish work up they meet the suspended ore in gradually increasing quantities. They get quite mineralized if they keep on upstream; so that if we fish at the head of the river we catch our salmon ready tinned, and all we have to do is to pack and ship them to market.”
