PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES. yap ll 
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 at the original station near Glide, 
as winter freshets had seriously damaged the upper station. A per- 
manent station was built 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 Rwer.—In 1902 the State established a station on the Willis 
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 experimental 
station was established between Alsea and tidewater. 
Yaquina Rwer.—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 made 
permanent the next year. 
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.
