Operations for the season have been
finished at the Ciackamas and Salmon
river hatcheries OF Oregon, the Big
White Salmon and Little White Sal
mon rivers OF the government, and the
Kalama and Wind river hatchsrles Of
Washington.
At the Clackamas hatchery Of the
stnte OF Oregon 7O5 female salmon were
spawned and 3.ss4OOO eggs secured, an
average OF 47g9 to each salmon. On

Ronde, 100000, and 100000 of the
Wallowa take will be sockeyes and
hIuehacks, but the other 36.000,000 will
be chinooks. II ,nly per cent 0f these
fish return to the Columbia and are
caught, the value OF the years output
to the fishermen will be In excess OF
5000, OO0. or the output OF the govern
ment plants, practically all of the fish
will come into the river in July ard
August, the Clackamas output alone
being OF the later variety.
The cost of spawning every 100000
eggs is about 500. Fifty thousand Of
every 100000 young fish turned out of
the hatcherles can safely be calculated
upon to return to the river so that the
$500 investment nets return of more
then 1OO-fold.
Three or four years ago the belief
was general that Oregon had no valu-
able hatchery sites; that the state
would have to seek propagation loca-
tion In other states. The results OBJ
talned this year demonstrate the error
of this belief, for now Oregon ranks
ali other states in the output of fish.
