JOHN ]. BRICE.
Commissioner a"

The operation OF this hhtchery re-
suited in adding over five million fry TO
the waters Of the Columbia-five times as
many as there were adult fish taken from
the same whters for canning purposes
during the fishing season just closed.
OF course, the harvest from this sowing
cannot be reaped until four years have
elapsed when the fry planted this year
viii return to spawn.
With the enactment into law by our
legislature Of the Recommendations for
the betterment of our salmon laws urged
by this office during the past five years,
and with proper provision for artificial
propagation. 1t will be possible for the
state, cooperating with the national hsh
commission, to turn into the Columbia
river basin double the amount of fry
that were added to our waters this yelr
We must not expect. however. that the
national commission will continue to do
all OF this work for us in the future.
For the past two years 1t has made great
effort to push fish culture and the work
has been prosecuted under adverse con-
ditions. the result Of our inefficient laws.
There is no doubt that this work viii COM
pensate, in a great measure, for the loss
occasioned by over fishing. and the de-
iciency caused thereby in natural re-
production.
They were impelled, no doubt, to make
this unusual effort to carry on artificial
propagation Of salmon on a more ex-
tensive scale than heretofore attempted,
because they realized that tho future Of
our great salmon fishery was imperiled
by the neglect of our legislature TO enact
laws so much needed for their protection
and preservation. The next session of
our legislature should make an appropria-
ton Of 5000 for the erection and opera
ticn Of a large hatchery on the Columbia
This sum would be ample, in my opinion.

Of their legislatures appropriating large

purpose which is being expended largely
in an effort to restore, through artificial

fisheries. Shall we not profit by the
history OF the Sacramento salmon fish,

to preserve our salmon industry by timely

Early In the present year learned that

they could not longer carry on this work
at the expense Of the few for the benefit
OF the entire Industry. As soon as
learned Of this determination on their
part. wrote to Hon. John J. Brice,
United States commissioner. stating to
him the situation and requested him to
undertake the operation Of this hatchery
This he agreed TO 10. as VIII be noted IN

II have the honor to acknowledge the

with reference to the cost of operating

reply desire to say that shall be glad
to assume control Of this hatchery and

in order to expedite matters, request
that you will issue the necessary orders
to turn the hatchery and It's equipment
over to Superintendent w. F. Hubbard
of the Clackkamas station by July lst
Mr. Hubbard will direct the work at the
