HATCHERY REBATES. 
The Federal fishery law of Alaska provides that the catch and pack 
of salmon by the operators of private hatcheries shall be exempt from 
all license fees and taxation of every nature at the rate of 10 cases 
of canned salmon to every 1,000 red or king salmon fry liberated 
upon compliance with certain conditions, among which may be 
mentioned the filing of affidavits with the clerk of the district court 
of the division of Alaska wherein the hatchery is located and with the 
Secretary of Commerce, showing the number of red-salmon fry released 
during the fiscal year for which report is made. The following table 
gives the rebates due to private operators for the fiscal year ending 
June 30, 1918:

HATCHERY INSPECTION. . 
The law provides that all private hatcheries shall be inspected by 
order of the Secretary of Commerce and that no rebate certificates 
shall be issued to the owners of such establishments until the efficiency 
of the hatcheries has first been approved by the Secretary of Com- 
merce in the manner provided by law. The necessary inspections 
were made and the character of operations approved.

MCDONALD LAKE. 
The name Yes Bay, as applied to the hatchery on McDonald Lake, 
was obviously inappropriate, as the hatchery is not located on the
