PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES 653 



Many of the eggs gathered at tlu^ upper IlogiKi River stations were 

 shipped to Mr. Hume's hatchery, on tlie lower river, and there hatched 

 out and planted. 



Coquille River. — The State formerly had a hatchery on this river, 

 but it was abandoned during the winter of 1902-3. In the winter 

 of 1904-5 a substation was established on one of the tributaries of 

 the Coquille River, about 6 miles from the South Coos River hatchery, 

 and was used in hatching eggs brought to it from the latter place. 

 A station was built on the north fork of the Coquille River in 1910. 



Coos River. — A hatchery was built by the State in 1 900 on the South 

 Coos River, about 20 miles from the town of Marshfield. 



Umpqua River. — In 1900 the State built a hatchery on the north 

 fork of the Umpqua River, near the town of Glide and about 24 miles 

 east of Roseburg. In 1901 a station was established farther up the 

 north fork, at the mouth of Steamboat Creek. After working here 

 two years the station was moved a couple of miles farther up the 

 stream. In 1907 work was resumed again at the original station near 

 Glide, as winter freshets had seriously damaged the upper station. 

 A permanent station was buUt in 1910. 



Siuslaw River. — In 1893 the State erected a hatchery on Knowles 

 Creek, a tributary of the Siuslaw River, about 20 miles above the 

 mouth of the river. It was turned over to the United States Fish 

 Commission to operate, but no fish came up to the hatchery because 

 the fishermen lower down stretched their nets entirely across the river. 



In 1897 and 1898 the United States Fish Commission operated a 

 hatchery owned by a Mr. McGuire and located close to Mapleton, 

 about 2 miles below the head of tidewater. 



In 1902 the State established an experimental station at the Bailey 

 place, near Meadow post office. In 1907, a permanent station was 

 established by the State on Land Creek fork of the Siuslaw River. 



Alsea River. — In 1902 the State established a station on the WiUis 

 Vidito place, near the town of Alsea. In 1907 an experimental 

 station was established on this river at the mouth of Rock Creek, 

 about 14 miles above the head of tidewater. In 1910 an experi- 

 mental station was established between Alsea and tidewater. 



Yaquina River. — In 1902 the State established a hatching station 

 on the Big Elk River, a tributary of Yaquina River, about 3 miles 

 above its confluence with the main river. This station was abandoned 

 in 1924. 



Tillamook Bay. — In 1902 the State established a station on Wilson 

 River, a tributary of Tillamook Bay, and about 8 miles above tide- 

 water. In 1906 the station was removed to the Trask River, a 

 tributary of Tillamook Bay. 



Additional plants were established at Nehalem in 1919, and Alsea, 

 near Tidewater, in 1912. Two new egg-collecting stations at Nes- 

 tucca and Wilson River were created in 1912. The latter was tem- 

 porarily discontinued.
