936 PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES. 
this period a temporary station for the collection of eggs was estab- 
lished on Sandy River, about 15 miles away, and on Salmon River, 
a tributary of Sandy River, both tributaries of the Columbia River. 
Some eggs were also brought in from the California hatcheries and 
hatched at the Clackamas station. In 1901 the hatchery was moved 
about 4 miles down the river and has since been operated as both 
a rearing and a collecting station. In 1901 the State established 
another hatchery on the Clackamas River about 30 miles below the 
main station and between the north and south forks. In 1904 all 
were turned over to the United States. In 1915 the hatchery was 
moved again. In 1907 an experimental station for the collection of 
eggs of the early variety of chinook salmon was established by the 
State of Oregon on the Clackamas River below the Portland Railway, 
Light & Power Co.’s dam at Cazadero, but this was later operated by 
the United States Bureau of Fisheries. The building of a dam having 
cut off this station, another was established in 1913 at a point 30 miles 
distant from Portland. 
In 1889 the State established a hatchery in the cannery of F. M. 
Warren, at Warrendale, in Multnomah County, on the Columbia 
River, which was operated in that year and in 1890. 
In 1895 some of the Oregon salmon packers combined and organ- 
ized the Columbia River Packers’ Propagating Co., which estab- 
lished a hatchery on the upper Clackamas River at the junction of 
the Warm Springs and the Clackamas and operated it in 1895 and 
1896. The Government operated it in 1897 and 1898, after which 
it was turned over to the State and moved to the opposite siae of 
the river. 
In 1898 the collection of steelhead trout eggs was first undertaken 
on the northwest coast by the State of Oregon on Salmon River, a 
tributary of the Columbia River, and met with fair success. In 
March, 1899, the Government sent a party to the falls of the Willam- 
ette River, near Oregon City, to collect steelhead eggs, and also 
operated for this purpose at its substation on the Salmon River, but 
the latter effort met with failure, as the rack was washed away. 
This station was turned over to the State on June 15, 1899. 
In 1901 the State of Oregon did some experimental work at Swan 
Falls, on Snake River, the boundary for a considerable distance 
between Oregon and Idaho. During the winter and early spring of 
1902 the State also worked Tucannon River, which is a tributary of 
Snake River, for steelhead, but met with poor success. Snake 
River was worked again in 1902 at the foot of Morton Island, which 
is situated 2 miles above Ontario, in Malheur County. Title to the 
necessary property was secured from the War Department in 1903 
and permanent buildings were erected. It was closed for some years 
and finally abandoned in 1911.
