Salmon hatchery at Baird, Cat., the pioneer salmon hatchery on the Pacific coast, located on the 

 McCloud River, a swift stream formed by the melting snow on Mount Shasta. The station can 

 accommodate 25 million eggs at one time, and in 1907-S produced about 5 million young chinook 

 or quinnat salmon and 10 million eyed eggs. Operations of tliis hatchery and its auxiliaries at 

 Battle Creek and Mill Creek (73'^ rriillion eggs of the chinook salmon were taken in 1907-S) have 

 been the prime factor in maintaining the salmon run in the Sacramento River. (See p. 1400.)
