| | Co-mission have been conducted through tu,o separate
u
commissions. In January the Special Session of the Legislature amendeclthe old F'ish and Game Commission law, which
provided for a commission of five members, and divorced the
commercial fishing interests from the sportsmen's or game interests. Under the new law, a Fish Commission consisting of three
members rvas elected by the Legislature. A Game Commission
consisting of five members was also created and its membership
rvas likervise elected by the Legislature. The new commission
act went into effect on March 1st. The offices o{ both commissions were maintained in the former offices qf the F'ish and Game
Commission in the Oregon Building, in this city. On May 1st,
a complete segregation of the trn'o commissions was effected by
the Fish Commission vacating its quarters in the Oregon lluilding and moving to new quarters in the Gasco Building. Since
that time the tlvo commissions have maintained separate identities.
All matters of joint interests have been satisfactorily settled
betu,'een tl-re two commissions, and just recently a complete
segregation of the hatcheries l-rasbeen effected. The Tumalo,
Union Creek, Klamath, Butte Falls and McKenzie hatcheries
rvere turned over to the Game commission as trout hatcheries.
Bonneville, Klaskanine, Alsea, Umpqua, Siuslarv and Coos hatch_
eries were clesignated as commercial or salmon hatcheries and
turned over to the jurisdiction and control of the Fish Commis_
s10n.

REPoRT
The Oak Ridge hatchery on the upper Willamette River has
not yet been completed, although the site has been obtained from
the United States Forestry Service. This location is sufficientlv
large to permit the establishment of hatching houses and nurserv
ponds for both trout and salmon operations; neither will interfere with the other. Within the next thirty days, a division of
this site will be made and construction work started for the
erection of suitable buitdings and the screening ofI of ample
nursery pond facilities for our work.
The Lower Santiam hatchery, {or which an appropriation
lvas made at the 1919 session of the Legislature, has been about
completed. The hatching house ancl troughs have been installecl
and there remains yet only the bringing of the water supply to
the hatching house itself to put the hatchery in operation. It
was intended by the Legislature that this hatchery should be a
joint salmon and trout hatchery.
The Nehalem 01 Salmonberry hatcherl' was made a joint
salmon and trout i-ratchery by the appropriation act itself and
rvill remain so.
The Gold Creek hatcl-rery,in Tillamook County, locatecl on
the Trask River, a fer,v miles from Tillamook, will for the time
being be conducted as a joint hatchery, as neither the sportsmen
nor the commercial fishermen of that locality desire to have it
operated solely as either a salmon or trout hatchery.
PATROL WORK
The patrol service on the Columbia and coast streams has
been as satisfactory as conditions rvould permit' The patrol
boat used at the mouth of the Columbia has become less serviceable than in formel years on account of its age, and if effective
patrol service is to be maintained at the mouth of the Columbia
ancl upstream, it rvill be necessary to purchase a new boat for
tl-ris purpose. I have obtained estimates covering the cost of
such a boat, and find that a 4O-foot boat equipped lvith a sixcylinder 85 to 125 horsepower Sterling motor, will cost the sttm
of $6,500. I recommend that the Commission request of the
Legislature an appropriation in this amount for a nerv patrol
boat to cover this important stretch of the river.
Mr. Clanton has discusseclin his report the efficiency of the
Rrponr on Srere Frsn Couurssrom
hatchery service of the state and the constantly increasing results
achieved therefrom. It is, therefore, vitally necessary that the
patrol service be maintained at a high standard of effectiveness.
The old boat in use at the mouth of the river at the present time
lvould, in case we obtain a new boat, be brought to Portland and
used in patroling the upper drifts of the Columbia and those of
the Willamette. The coast stream patrol work is even a more
difficult problem than that of the Columbia, for the reason that
funds are not sufficient to maintain a warden on each stream,
and the tu''o or three wardens who are employed must move
constantly from one stream to another and do as effective work as
is possible under these conditions. Small skiffs, with Evinrude
motors attached, are olvned by the department on Tillamook,
Yaquina and Coos Bays. These serve our purpose well and no
increase in their number is desired at this time.
The mouth of the Rogue River, where commercial fishing
operations are conducted, offers a problem in itself. A deadline
has been established below which commercial fishing is prohibited, and it is necessary to maintain a warden at this point
throughout the season.
The darn at Winchester on the Umpqua, and the fishway
at the Willamette Falls, at Oregon City, offer two special problems of the department, both of which must be dealt with
according to the needs. The problem is made complex at botl-r
places because of the {act that in addition to the commercial
character of the situation there is added the sportsmen's angle,
which makes the burden of patrol service much heavier.
FINANCES
'Ihe
revenues derived {rom the sale of licenses, confiscated
property and fines are inadequate to the needs of the operations
of the Commission. It has been de{initely established that best
results are achieved in salmon propagation by holding and feecjing the young fry until they reach a length of four or five or
more inches and an age equivalent to that growth. This entails
a corresponding increase in operation and food expense, the
hatcheries being in continuous operation throughout the year.
The older the fry, the more food they consume and tl-re more
costly is this operation.
RrpoRr or Srere Frsrt Couutsslolt
To meet this increased cost of the hatchery work, it is necessary to have an increased revenue for the department. This
is best achieved by the imposition of a tonnage tax on all fish
caught and sold. A careful estimate fixes the minimum tax
needed to produce the necessary revenue at $5.00 per ton. I
therefore earnestly recommend that the Commission request the
Legislature at the forthcoming session to provide additional
revenue through the imposition of such a tax.
The Master Fish Warden's department consists o{ the Master Fish Warden, a deputy for District No. 1, a deputy for District No. 2, and a clerk. There should be an additional warden
to act as a special patrol officer along the Columbia and the coast
streams. This department has been maintained as an arm of the
police force of the State through appropriations from the General
F'und.
In order to adequately take care of the operation, construction and equipment costs of the coast stream hatcheries, an
appropriation from the General Fund in the sum of $30'000
should be'pror,'ided. Our coast streams are constantly becoming
a greater factor in the fresh fish market, and hatchery work
should be extended and the facilities increased in orcler to take
care of the increasecldemands upon these streams.
For the operation, construction and maintenance of hatcheries on the Columbia River and its tributaries, the sum of $25,000
i s n e e d e d{ o r t h e b i e n n i u m .
These appropriations mentioned are in addition to any contemplated revenue which may be derived from the sale of licenses
and the imposition of a tonnage tax above referred to, and are
necessary if the efficiency of the hatchery work is to be maintained and continued.
Respectfully submitted,
CARL D. SHOEMAKER,
Executive Secretary.

the important features of the hatchery operations and tabulated

can
said
while
I
I almost universally for.the past several years shorvn a rapid
decline (some of the once most famous salmon streams now
being almost depleted), Oregon fisheries for a like period of time
have continued to show a healthy growth.
Notwithstanding that this state's industry is norv on a stable
basis, only a few years back the commercial fishing interests
rvere faced by the same serious conditions which norv confront
tl-re{ishermen of other districts.
As it can be recalled, the Oregon salmon fishing industry
likewise for a number of years showed a rapid decrease, the
number of cases having reached bedrock in 1912 and 1913, only
285,666and 266,479cases,respectively, having been canned those
yedrs, this amount being a little more than one-third of the number packed in some of the former seasons.
It was not surprising that those who were vitally interestecl
began to take pessinristic views of the future, and the prediction
rvas general that the great salmon runs, which were once thought
inexhaustible, were doomed, and that the millions of dollars
invested in the canneries and other equipment bid fair to become
almost a total loss.
Notrvithstanding the gloomy outlook, there stil1 r,verea ferv
of the more substantial packers, who had three years previous
got behind the fisheries department and assisted in putting into
effect a ne'w system of hatchery rvork; these men, having backed
the movement, financially and otherwi3€;'withheld their opinions, trusting that the experiment for ivhich they were respon-
Retonr on Srern Frsn Corrlrrssrorv
I
sible would prove of some benefit when the four year cycle, or
the time the young fish could be expected to return, arrived.
That they were not disappointed can be seen, when it is
kno'ivn that the pack on the Columbia River at the end of the
season of 1914 totaled up almost double that o{ either of the two
previous years. Here it might not be amiss to say that to these
fern' cannerymen, who by valuable advice and financial assistance, the larger part of the credit should be given for the inauguration of 'r'vhatis nolv known in all salmon sections as the Oregon
hatchery system. This system has now been in effect for better
than ten years, and has long since passed the experimental stage.
And to prove that the same has been a success,we only have
to point to the following tables, showing the pack for the past
eight years :

\Nhile the figures above apply only to the Columbia River,
Oregon's many coast streams have likewise, lor a number of
years, shorvn an increase annually in salmon procluction, ancl
there has, no doubt, more fish entered these rivers during the
season just passed than any former years.
.have
That the increased run of salmon annually,' which
brought in millions of dollars into the State, is due almost entirelv
to C)regon l-ratcherymethods, is the almost unir.ersal opinion of
our packers and fishermen, as well as those interested in the
b u s i n e s si n o t h e r s e c t i o n s . N u m e r o u s a r t i c l e s c o m m e n d i n g t h e
Iiish Cornmission upon its efficient hatchery methods have
appeared in the papers and fishery magazines published in the
various sections of the Northwest.
Cannerymen of the Puget Sound and British Columbia who
are interested in a project to rehabilitate the Frazer River have
recently formed an organization, and have asked the trish Commission for the services of the head of the hatchery clepartment,

HATCHERY
OPERATIONS
Considering the age, size and healthy condition of the young
salmon liberated, the hatchery operations as a whole for the past
biennium were much more efficient than for any like previous
period.
As can be seen from the following tables; there were liberated
from our hatcheries into the various stfeams oi the State more
than 50,000,000Spring or Royal Chinook salmon fingerlings, at
an average age of 8 months. In addition there were nearl-v
40,000,000of young fish of the less valuable varieties, consisting
of the Fall Chinook, Silversides and Steelhead, making a total
output for the past two years o{ approximately 90,000,000fish'
Spring Chinook salmon.

It will be noted that the number of Spring salmon turned
out the past season was less than in 1919. This was due to the
unlavorable r,vater conditions which af{ected our egg take; but
having a.smaller number to care for, we were enabled to hold and
ieed them for a much longer time, thereby increasing the age
and size, which no cloubt enabled them to better escape their

rlatural enemies in their migration to the ocean. and as the larger
per cent of these fish had attained the size of 5 to 6 inches when
liberated, there is very little doubt but what we can expect more
bene{icial results from the past year's work than any previous
year since the Oregon hatchery system was put into effect.
