COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES. 
The first fish-cultural work upon the Columbia River and in Oregon 
was at Clackamas, on the Clackanas River, a tributary of the Willam- 
ette River, which empties into the Columbia River about 180 miles 
from its mouth. 
This hatchery was built in 1876 by the Oregon & Washington Fish 
Propagating Co., which operated it until 1880. In 1887 the State 
provided for and there was appointed a State fish commission. 
Almost the first work of the commission was to spend $12,000 appro- 
priated by the legislature to put in repair and operate this hatchery. 
On July 1, 1888, it was informally turned over to the United States 
Commission of Fish and Fisheries, which paid over the purchase 
price, took formal possession in the following winter, and has oper- 
ated it ever since, with the exception of several years when the build- 
ing of dams stopped the progress of salmon to the hatchery. During 
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 ean) 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.
