was a private hatchery constructed by R. D. Hume. The 

 hatchery was completed in 1877 on a site near Ellens- 

 burg on the lower Rogue River. Hume, a local salmon 

 packer, operated the hatchery without assistance for 11 

 yr. In 1889, the Oregon Legislature supported his efforts 

 with monies appropriated for enlargement as well as for 

 operation and maintenance of the hatchery. Hume con- 

 tinued to operate the facility until his death in 1908 at 

 which time it was turned over to the State. He built 

 another hatchery in 1897 on the Rogue River at the 

 mouth of Oak Creek. The U.S. Fish Commission, as 



agreed prior to construction, assumed responsibility for 

 operating this hatchery after its completion. 



Hume was an early developer of hatchery techniques. 

 He is credited with the concept of adult holding ponds. 

 The adult chinook salmon needed for the hatchery egg 

 supply were trapped in tidewater on their way to the up- 

 per Rogue River. At trapping, these fish had not yet 

 reached sexual maturity. Hume constructed a large, 

 concrete-lined, covered holding pond to retain the fish 

 until spawning time. Most present day hatcheries are 

 built with a similar type adult holding facility.
