In 1916 the State built a hatchery on the Pilchuck River, a tribu- 

 tary of the Skykomish River, near Granite Falls. 



In lieu of building a fishway in its dam on the Elwha River, near 

 Port Angeles, the Olympic Power Co. furnished the funds needed to 

 build a hatchery below the dam, and this was opened by the State 

 in 1915. 



In 1916 the city of Tacoma furnished funds to build a hatchery in 

 lieu of a fish ladder over the Nisqually power plant dam, and the 

 hatchery was constructed by the State at Chambers Prairie and 

 opened in 1916. It is known as the Chambers Creek hatchery. 



In 1917 a new hatchery was established by the State at Ortin^, on 

 the Puyallup River, while in 1918 an eyeing station was established 

 at Tahuya, on Hoods Canal, near the Skokomish hatchery. 



In 1919 the Nisqually hatchery was destroyed by floods.
