 Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company. It was leased 

 to the State. Papers have recently been drawn up for the sale to the 

 State of this property, comprising a little over forty-five acres. This will 

 be paid for by money from the Game Protection Fund at the price of 

 $100 per acre. With- the improvements that have been made, Bonneville 

 hatchery is now one of the largest and best salmon, and trout hatcheries 

 in the United States. 



At the McKenzie River Hatchery, trout ponds have been built and 

 brood trout are kept for the purpose of collecting eggs and hatching 

 and rearing the fry to the fingerling stage, so as to stock streams in that 

 part of the country. 



During the past year and a half this Department has worked in close 



co-operation with Mr. Henry O'Malley, who is superintendent in charge 



of this district for the United States Bureau of 



Co-operation With Fish eries. The Commission has furnished funds

 Government to carry on trout work in Oregon.

 1,017,190 trout fry until they reached the fingerling stage. These were 

 then released in different streams by the Bureau of Fisheries, under the 

 direction of the Game Department. During the year 1912 the same 

 arrangement was continued, and fingerling trout to the number of 

 1,435,681 were released in the different streams of the state, after the 

 eggs had been collected by the United States Bureau of Fisheries and the 

 trout raised to the fingerling stage.
