LARGEST III WORLD
The Government Fish Hatchery
at Ontario, Oregon, Is a
Big Institution.

The Ontario fish hatchery, which is
the largest institution of its kind in the
world, is now in full operation. The
main hatchery building, which was con-
structed by Contractors Draper x Mink
during the present year, is 2l7 feet in
length and sixty feet wide and has
capacity Of 200 spawning troughs and is
operated SO as to care for 20,O0O,O 600
young fish; 4O,ooO,O 900 eggs can be ham
died without over crowling
Everything is moving nicely and from
900 900 to 1000, 600 eggs are being de-
posted in the hatchery each day. These
eggs have to be gone over for the pur-
pose of selecting the unfertilized eggs
from the good ones. This part Of the
work is done by women, thus giving en-
ployment to about thirty or forty
women for about 80 days.
Superintendent Frank c. Brown is
hcing assisted in the work at present by
his father, who Is one OF the most expert
enced men in the Matching industry in
the United States, having been engaged
in the industry actively for "A quarter Of
century, and although IS years Of age
can spawn 3,O00,000 per day.
The eggs used for artificial propagation
are obtained from salmon taken on their
way mp stream 10 their natural spawn
ing grounds Theascent OF the fish Is
stopped by distractions placed in tine
river.
This obstruction consists Of racks
placed across the river and supir,rtel Us
woolen horses o. piers, helvy enoua i
to prevent the force OF the current fyrai
pushing them cut Of position. L,rg
timbers, 6xs inches In diameter, are
laid from horse to horse Ia which they
are securely pinned, and posts, from ,
10 inches in diameter and of the re-
quired length are driven ohliInelv into
the river, the lower ead- being three or
four feet up stream, the upper ends rest
ing on the stsingers. Against these pst-
il laid the rack, which il made in seq
tions each q 10 10 feet hong. the Stats that
form them being one ani quarter incli-
es thick and three inches wide, and Sc
eurely fastened at top aud bottom. The
Stats are set one and a hulf inches apart
and are heveled at the upper side in
order to present less resistance To the
current. The space between the Stats
allows ample room for the water to 90
through, but prevents the salmon from
a-crn,ling.
There is much Of interest connected
with an industry like this, that cannot
be fully appreciated without personal
observation, and parties visiting the
worlds largest hatchery will always be
treated courteously by the genia. super-
intendcnt.
A 10000 pound boiler has been receiv-
ell at the hatchery which will be used
for pumping purposes and to keep the
water at certain temperature during
. the winter months i'm the hatchery for
the benefit of the young fish.-Ontario
