The liberation of game-fish fry into the waters of the

 lakes of the Cascade Mountain region, to place in 75 or 100 

 of the lakes not now containing game fish in the neighbor- 

 hood of 100,000 or 125,000 trout fry in the hope that 

 these fish would breed naturally and ultimately stock the 

 waters into which they were placed. For this purpose, this 

 season, the eastern brook trout has been used. The con- 

 tractor has used a train of pack animals for carrying the 

 young fish beyond the limits of railway transportation. The 

 contract price for this work was $1,500.00. 



Following the example of its predecessors, the Board 

 has directed the seining out of the sloughs and empounded
