  The 
  allotment 
  for 
  the 
  fiscal 
  year 
  being 
  only 
  $1,000 
  it 
  was 
  decided 
  to 
  

   close 
  the 
  substation 
  at 
  Korbel 
  and 
  confine 
  operations 
  to 
  the 
  collection 
  

   of 
  steelhead-trout 
  and 
  quinnat- 
  salmon 
  eggs 
  at 
  the 
  substation

   The 
  diflficulty 
  experienced 
  heretofore 
  in 
  constructing 
  a 
  ratik 
  that 
  would 
  

   withstand 
  the 
  force 
  of 
  the 
  water 
  during 
  a 
  freshet 
  was 
  overcome 
  this 
  

   year 
  by 
  a 
  plan 
  devised 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Dayton 
  Earnhardt. 
  The 
  bed 
  of 
  the 
  

   river, 
  135 
  feet 
  wide, 
  was 
  paved 
  with 
  heavy 
  timbers 
  30 
  feet 
  long. 
  Timber 
  

   piers 
  were 
  then 
  constructed 
  30 
  feet 
  apart, 
  which 
  extended 
  up 
  through
