Gar No. 9 began the fiscal year with the trout distribution from the Bozeman 

 (Mont.) station, making trips within Montana and the States of Washington, 

 Idaho, and Wyoming. Late in August the car proceeded to Miles City, Mont., 

 to take up the distribution of the warm-water species. Trips were made from 

 Miles City to points in Montana, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, North and South Da- 

 kota, Wyoming, and Nebraska. The car returned to Bozeman early in Novem- 

 ber and received trout for applicants in Nebraska and specimens for Central 

 Station, Washington, D. C, Lincoln Park, Chicago, 111., and La Crosse, Wis. 

 On November 13 the car proceeded from La Crosse to Marquette to receive a 

 load of black bass, bream, crappie, catfish, and yeUow perch. This load was 

 taken to Globe, Ariz., the car returning to Bloomington, III., where it was placed 

 in the Chicago and Alton railroad shops for annual repairs. 



The car arrived at Northville, Mich., on April 9 and after making three trips 

 from the Northville station, it proceeded to Erwin, Tenn., to take up the distri- 

 bution of trout from the Erwin station. The final trip from Erwin was to Allen- 

 town, Pa., from which point the car returned to Wytheville, Va., and obtained 

 a carload of trout from the Wytheville station for waters in the vicinity of Scran- 

 ton, Pa. From Scranton the car proceeded to Nashua, N. H., and Bucksport, 

 Me. The fiscal year ended while the distribution was in progress from the Craig 

 Brook (Me.) station.
