and wagons have been purchased, and they have proved to be an 
economical investment. In the fall of 1907 we erected the fourth 
hatchery, “D,” as we did not have room enough to handle the extra 
number of trout eggs that we were expecting to take, along with the 
salmon eggs. A building 50 by 75 feet was put up over one of the 
salmon batteries. It is a plain, substantial structure, with a corrugated 
iron roof. It is fitted up with the old troughs used in the salmon bat¬ 
tery, and has been in use ever since it was built. Hatchery “A,” 
the first building erected on the Sisson Hatchery grounds in the fall of 
1888, is now in an unsafe condition. The foundation, sills, and floor are 
badly rotted, and the tank and wall on the north side are in the same 
condition. I would respectfully recommend that a new hatchery be 
built on a larger and more modern plan this coming season. The build¬ 
ing is not safe any longer. We have repaired it several times in the 
last ten years. It is now in a state of decay beyond any repairs that 
are practical. In its place should be erected a modern building, fitted 
up with the latest and more improved system of hatching and rearing 
troughs.

In the spring of 1907 it was decided that the California Fish Com¬ 
mission and the Federal Bureau of Fisheries should cooperate in the 
work of collecting eggs on the Shasta River. A site was selected at the
