HUNTING AND FISHING IN MONTANA 



Dwelling and Hatchery, Emigrant, Montana, 1916. Capacity 5,000 Fly 



Fisheries Station, Emigrant, Montana, November 18, 1920. 



Hon. J. L. Kelly, 



Chairman, Montana Game and Fish Commission, 



Anaconda, Montana. 



Sir: 



Attached herewith I hand you report of operations for this depart- 

 ment for the years 1919-1920. 



The wonderful record established for the Anaconda station was 

 made possible by the aid you rendered during the grayling season. It 

 is recommended that the battery of forty troughs which were set up 

 at the Anaconda station during the grayling season be made a perma- 

 nent part of the station's equipment. This can be accomplished by 

 the construction of a permanent foundation for the battery. 



The Emigrant station should be completed at an early date. This 

 station has been under the process of being l)uilt for almost two years 

 and to date consists of a hatchery building and equipment, and a small 

 four-room modern cottage. A suitable fence should be constructed 

 enclosing the station's property. This station is in great need of a 

 telephone for business purposes. 



It is recommended that the Superintendent of Hatcheries be per- 

 mitted to employ a clerk or stenographer to attend to all the office 

 work, since the superintendent is in the field most of the time, and it 

 is too mucli for one to perform labor in the field and attend to the 

 office work unassisted. I strongly urge your consideration of this mat- 

 ter as a measure of economy. 



Respectfully submitted, 



J. H. BRUXSON. 



Superintendent of Hatcheries.
