LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
To the
Portland, Oregon, December 31, 1932.
Honorable John C. Veatch, Chairman,
Honorable C. A. Leinenweber,
Honorable R. S. Farrell,
MEMBERS of the FISH COMMISSION of the STATE OF OREGON.
Gentlemen:
It is my pleasure and honor to submit herewith the Financial Statement of the Master Fish
Warden of the State of Oregon for the fiscal years of 1931 and 1932.
During the past biennium the administrative policy of the Department with respect to finance
has been conducted in the same manner as during the biennium immediately preceding. That is
to say, the office of the Master Fish Warden has had the collection of the various revenues of the
Commission and has controlled or directed only such expenditures as related to the office, patrol
service and general administrative activities. All disbursements having to do with hatcheries have
been made and controlled through the Director of the Department of Fish Culture.
The thirty-sixth legislative assembly created a Department of State Police and charged that
body with the responsibility of enforcing the laws governing the commercial fishing industry,
along with the laws governing some four other state boards or commissions. This change in law
enforcement necessitated, in accordance with provision of the statute, the transfer of fish wardens
formerly operating under my direction, as well as the transfer of boats, outboard motors, searchlights and various other items of patrol service equipment. Inasmuch as the actual organization
of this law enforcement body was not completed until August 1st, 1931, the eighteen thousand
dollar ($18,000) appropriation from the funds of this Department for the carrying out of State
police work was proportioned over a period of seventeen months in equal monthly payments of
one thousand fifty-eight dollars and eighty-two cents ($1,058.82). The taking over of the law
enforcement activity of the Department relieved the Master Fish Warden only of the duties
actually involved in directing and supervising the force of wardens which formerly carried on
patrol and enforcement work. Complaints as to law violations, as well as special problems affecting
the industry, are still forwarded to my office. Contacts, inspection of plants and fishing operations
are as necessary now as they were prior to the advent of the State Police. While the police organization has done splendid work and has given excellent service in every instance where complaints
or other matters relative to illegal operation have been called to their attention by this Department,
for which the head of the Department and the personnel of his organization are to be commended,
feel it. my duty to call attention to the fart that as this organization becomes definitely established
and perfected, a more complete and consistent check should be made on commercial fishing operations. Also increased attention should be given to the operation of commercial fishing gear without
licenses, closed season fishing and fishing in closed areas above deadlines on our various commercial
streams.
The finances of the Department during the past biennium, while not approaching limits hoped
for, have as a whole been satisfactory, especially when one takes into consideration the general
effects of the economic depression confronting us. The gross revenues of the Department during
the biennium which ended is slightly less than one-half the revenue received by the Department
during the 1925-26 biennium, the one prior to the taking over of the administration and affairs
of the Fish Commission by the present Commission and its executive officers. Naturally, the
disbursements of the Department have been in relative proportion to the decrease in revenues
and have been kept• within our ever decreasing budget.
The Department• has already prepared, and plans to submit to the 1933 legislature, a proposal
for a reduction in poundage fees for the purpose of affording relief to an overburdened and harassed
industry. This proposal, if consummated by enactment into law, will provide an annual reduction
in fees in the approximate sum of twenty-two thousand dollars, slightly over twenty-three per cent
of our annual revenue as based on the 1932 receipts. This decrease in revenues for the purpose
of relief, coupled with the general decrease in revenues above mentioned, obviously indicate that
any further decrease in the revenues of this Department for whatever purpose, will seriously affect,
if not jeopardize future operation. However, it is hoped that present depressing conditions will not
continue so far into the future, and that this Department, as well as business in general, may by
continued economies and careful supervision, survive the period, and be enabled to resume the
now dormant policy of systematic expansion and assured perpetuation of the industry.
Respectfully submitted,
M. T. HOY,
Master Fish Warden.

REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
15
Portland, Oregon, December 31, 1932.
To the
Honorable John C. Veatch, Chairman,
Honorable C. A. Leinenweber,
Honorable R. S. Farrell,
MEMBERS of the FISH COMMISSION of the STATE OF OREGON.
Gentlemen:
I have the honor to submit the following resume of the operaticn of the Department of Fish
Culture during the biennium ending November 30th, 1932.
Only by more extensive and scientific application of the Oregon hatchery system can the
present standard output of the industry be maintained. What might be termed an industrial,
vari-colored map of the Columbia River Basin, based on data carefully collected over a period
of fifteen years, has been prepared by the Fish Commission during the current year. Close scrutiny
reveals the fact that approximately 50% of the most important productive area within the basin
has been lost to the industry by the construction of dams for irrigation and power, thus isolating
spawning areas. Unfortunately, these many water sheds that go to form this depleted area, at
one time produced not only Chinook salmon of the highest quality, but the famous Blueback
of the Columbia and the September run of Silvers.
Since improved fishways have been built over many of the dams and screens have been installed at the intakes to ditches and canals in some of the depleted areas, a united effort should
be made to restock such waters by introducing only the much-sought-after fancy stock. These
areas are altogether in the mid and upper Columbia districts, and any attempt to rehabilitate the
tributaries which have their sources in the Cascades or east thereof with inferior stock, generally
referred to as tule, will prove to be a waste of time, money and material.
The run of Spring Chinooks in the Columbia river in the year 1931 was slightly below normal,
while the Summer and Fall runs, like the Silver and Steelhead, were satisfactory.
All runs in the coastal streams during the same year were fairly satisfactory, although the
Silver run did not compare favorably with the runs of 1925-26. In the year 1932, the very early
Spring run in the Columbia river was noticeably light, with but very few specimens ascending
the Yakima, in Washington, or the Salmon river in Idaho. However, the run entering the Columbia
during the spring proved to be equal to expectations. The summer run of Chinook was quite constant; Fall Chinooks appeared in vast numbers; the Steelhead run was satisfactory; but the Silvers
were not abundant.
The coastal streams are in a fairly healthy condition, as the runs of fish were satisfactory, and
in some instances showed an improvement. The increase in numbers of fish entering the larger
two of these rivers, the Rogue and Umpqua, both of which have sources in the Cascade Mountains,
was especially noticeable during 1932. The past season, which was anything but suitable for open
sea trolling, from either a climatic or an economic point, might have provided for a better escapement of Silvers than usual, by permitting them to enter the rivers in vast numbers.
The closing of the Nestucca river in 1927 to commercial fishing, in an effort to improve angling,
has proved disappointing. Since nets have been removed, the fish lie in the bay undisturbed, and
rarely reach the river while they are still bright. Anglers who are familiar with conditions, frequently complain, as their catches are usually disappointing. Fish ascend the Nestucca in hordes
during freshets, and become an economic loss. Commercial fishing in this river would add materially
to the wealth of the state, and at the same time relieve the distress of the farmers owning the
adjacent lands.
Recently there have been two additional major dams added to the vast number in the Columbia River Basin. The effect of these dams will not be felt by the industry until the fourth or
fifth year cycle. These are (1) the Ariel dam, which completely forbids the spring run of Chinook
and Steelheads to ascend to the upper reaches of the Lewis river, and (2) the Wenatchee dam
across the Columbia, which questions the right of the Spring salmon and the Steelheads to ascend
north from that point to that vast territory which they have been accustomed to frequenting
for centuries.
There is no provision made in the Ariel dam for the ascent of fish, and for that reason the
runs of Steelhead and Spring Chinook are doomed. The fishways over the Wenatchee dam can be
perfected, in view of the fact that while the dam impedes the ascent of fish, numbers of them passed
on into the upper reaches last summer, which was the first year in which the fishways were in
operation.
16
REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
In Oregon the streams in which salmon usually spawn are equipped with fairly good fishways
over the dams and, with the exception of barriers found in the Clackamas and Rogue rivers, no
high structures have been built. During the seasons of the year at which salmon congregate at
the foot of these dams and natural barriers, attendants are stationed about to protect the fish
and to aid them in their ascent by regulating the flow of water through fishways. While this is of
utmost importance and is a part of the Commission's work, it can be accomplished only by the
expenditure of money. Therefore, every time a new dam is built, an extra expense is taken on.
Fortunately for the industry, there have been no dams of consequence built in Oregon during the
biennium which has just ended.
The Fish Commission of Oregon was among the first of state departments to aid and cooperate
with the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries in scientific research work. This work has been carried on for
practically twenty years, and much valuable data concerning artificial propagation and natural
history of Pacific Coast salmons has been gathered. Much is still unknown that would no doubt
be of valuable assistance in the work, and further investigation will be undertaken as soon as
funds are available. The Commission is furnished the results of the data collected by the Bureau
of Fisheries in its scientific research regarding salmon in Alaskan waters.
At this time a pamphlet, which will be available early in the spring, is being prepared concerning the natural history of salmon, their propagation and the industrial value of the whole.
Letters are received from every state in the union requesting such information for use in schools.
Heretofore, persons requesting such matter have been furnished a brief sketch of the life history
of the salmon in loose leaf form. The schools have been provided with glass specimen tubes showing
the different stages of incubation, and some thirty-five schools in Portland are also furnished
annually a few hundred eyed Silver salmon eggs which are hatched in the schools and the resulting
fish fed in aquariums there as part of the Nature Study Course.
Due to the peculiar geographical position of the Bonneville Station, which is situated on the
Columbia River Highway, many thousands of tourists visit it annually. These people who come
from the various parts of the United States and foreign countries, are shown every courtesy upon
visiting Bonneville, and they display their amazement and interest in what the Commission is
accomplishing, especially if they happen to be present at that season of the year when the large
adult fish are returning from the sea to the very ponds in which they were raised.
Respectfully,
HUGH C. MITCHELL,
Director of the Department of Fish Culture.
