FISH AND GAME COMMISSION 



around it. The feed room has a new motor installed, a new cauldron 

 for cooking mush and a concrete cooling tank. The building has 

 rustic outside and is covered with a corrugated iron roof. 



A new power plant was built on a new site where all water can 

 be used in ponds after passing over the waterwheel. The building is 

 of concrete where the well 'is located and has a concrete floor. The 

 walls are of rustic. The equipment consists of a Fitz water wheel, a 

 new generator, and all the necessary equipment such as grids and 

 switches. Water is conveyed to the waterwheel through a 24-inch 

 pipe. From the waterwheel it is diverted to ponds and hatcheries 

 through 16-inch pipes. 



A new fence has been built around the entire grounds of wire fencing 

 and iron posts, with the exception of a short space on the west side 

 where wooden posts were used in marshy grounds. The old wooden 

 gates were all replaced with iron ones. All iron posts were set in 

 concrete.

 the work of the abandoned Ukiah Hatchery. 



A new concrete walk was built from Hatchery A to the county 

 road to replace the old wooden walk. 



FALL CREEK HATCHERY 



This salmon and trout hatchery has been operated during the last 

 two seasons very successfully. The fish are always in good condition. 

 There has been but very little trouble in raising fish at this station. 

 The salmon reared in the ponds here do remarkably well and are all 

 distributed in the Klamath River. 



There were no improvements at this station under the special appro- 

 priation. But in the fall of 1926 heavy rains and high water washed 

 out around the end of the building, making a bad hole, which was 

 later filled in. The building was also painted inside and the flumes 

 repaired.
