Denver, May 22.-In an interview
published in the News. State Game and
Fish Commissioner j. NJ. Woodard
gives an interesting interview on the
work of the fish hatcheries of the
state.
Mr.. Woodard began by saying that
when he took control of the hatcheries
April 1st. his first step was to put in
office a general superintendent of the
hatcherieS who was experienced in
this line. He appointed to this office
w S. Kincaid, who has spent the
greater part of his life in fish cultural
work at our state hatcheries. The next
move was to place Charles Dowdell in
charge as superintendent of the state
hatchery at Denver; W. E. Patrick as
superintendent of the state hatchery
at Durango, and s. e. Land, fish cul-
turist, in charge as superintendent of
the state hatchery at Gunnison. All
these men, are experienced in the
practical and scientific work of this
department.
During the last four weeks the
work done at these institutions has
been successful to a marked degree,
said Mr.. Woodard, especially the work
done at the Gunnison hatchery in taxi

April oath an egg-collecting or field
spawning station was established on
the North Beaver creek within 100
yards of the mouth, where it empties
into the Gunnison. AT this place 5000
breeding trout were captured. and l.
$4,000 eggs have been taken. The fish
when stripped, were returned to the
river and were not injured in han
ding.
There are now in the fish pens at
this place about 500 trout. from which
eggs have not been taken, but they are
