town of Arlington, in Snohomish County. The latter has since 

 been moved to Jim Creek, a tributary of the south branch of the 

 Stillaguamish River. 



The Startup hatchery, located near Startup, on the Skykomish 

 River, was formerly used as a collecting station for the Snohomish 

 hatchery. It is still used for this purpose, but also retains and 

 hatches a considerable quantity of spawn. The station is about 4 

 miles from the Snohomish hatchery. 



In 1900 the State established a fisheries experimental station at 

 Keyport Landing, on the east arm of Port Orchard Bay, with Pear- 

 son as the nearest post office. The work of the station is devoted 

 to salmon and oysters. 



The State established a hatchery on the Dungeness River, about 

 7 miles from the town of Dungeness, in Clallam County, in 1901. 

 In 1906 it constructed a hatchery on a small tributary of the Skagit 

 River, between Hamilton and Lyman. The station built on Sauk 

 River, a tributary of the Skagit, has been operated only occasionally 

 since the Skagit hatchery was built. 



The United States Bureau of Fisheries has now T (1911) under con- 

 struction hatcheries on the Duckabush and Quilcene Rivers in 

 Hoods Canal.
