STATION REPORTS. 
GREEN LAKE Station, Matne (KE. E, Race, SUPERINTENDENT), 
The following are the principal improvements at the station during 
the past fiscal year: The dam at Rocky Pond has been thoroughly 
overhauled, repaired, and raised 5 feet; the eastern and western wings 
lengthened 82 feet, making the dam 310 feet long and giving a 9-foot 
head of water at the inlet of the main supply flume, thereby nearly 
doubling the station water supply. The main supply flume has been 
put in good condition, 485 feet of it being rebuilt, and 360 new yokes 
put on. A coal shed has been constructed at Maddocks Landing for 
the storage of coal for the steamer Senator, and a number of minor 
repairs and improvements made to the cottages of the foreman and 
superintendent. The cottages for the laborers at the station have 
been completed and two of the men provided with comfortable homes 
for their families. Changes have been made in the water supply and 
sewer systems, the station force rendering material assistance in all 
this work when not engaged in caring for the stock of fish on hand. 
The landlocked salmon on hand at the beginning of the year were 
held until September, when 177,899 were distributed to applicants in 
Maine and other New England States. 
During the summer and fall the usual arrangements were made 
for establishing collecting stations at various points. As reports 
indicated that large numbers of brook trout and landlocked salmon 
could be secured in Lakes Onawa and Sebee, in Piscataquis County, 
the superintendent investigated those waters and established a station 
at the head of Lake Onawa. Two pound nets and a slat trap were 
fished until November 24, but only 21 brook trout and 16 salmon were 
eapiured. All the lakes and streams within a radius of 10 miles 
were examined, but without result. In October a trap was placed 
between Lake Onawa and Sebee Lake on Ship Pond Stream, but 
though large numbers of salmon were found above and below the 
Cowyard Falls, only 105 were captured, + of which were females. 
The work resulted in the colleetion of 6,000 brook-trout eggs and 
15,000 salmon eggs, which were transferred to Green Lake. 
The following table shows the fish and eggs obtained at the stations 
operated in connection with Green Lake.
