ing of sufficient dimensions for the hatching and 
handling of 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 salmon and 
trout eggs, and a commodious and comfortable 
dwelling for Sliperintendent Shebley. Water 
was piped to the buildings, and the large tract 
of land donated by Judge Logan properly fenced. 
Prior to the completion of the buildings 
Superintendent Shebley, following the enthu- 
siasm that had characterized the action of all 
concerned, had begun to take spawn in the latter 
part of kebruary at the Paper Mill Dam: in 
Soquel Creek, and had put the eggs in baskets 
set in temporary troughs under the red woods, 
and upon completion. of the hatchery building 
was prepared to fill the thirty odd hatching 
troughs with -steelhead trout eggs as soon 
they were ready to receive them. During the 
spring and summer of 1905 Superintendent 
Shebley hatched and liberated in, the thirty-odd 
streams of the county upward of 1,000,000 steel- 
head trout fry, 10,006 rainbow trout fry, and 
1,000,000 quinnat salmon fry. Certainly a fine 
showing for the first year. 
In the hatchery building, which is 40 by 60 
feet, are thirty-odd hatching troughs with ample 
room for more when needed, also two large glass 
aquaria in which are exhibited many varieties 
of salmon and trout. On the grounds are four 
rearing ponds, so constructed that they can be 
easily and conveniently cleaned, and two ponds, 
60 by 120 feet, in which are kept the adult trout. 
The grounds are of ample size to. maintain 
several large rearing and breeding ponds. 
These will be constructed as the requirements 
of the hatchery warrant. 
In the propagation of trout the purity of the 
water and an abundant and constant supply is 
an all-important question. Clear Creek meets 
every requirement. Its waters remain at about 
the same temperature the entire year. As Clear 
Creek is a mountain stream, flowing through 
heavily timbered lands, it receives no drainage 
from cultivated fields or houses and is conse- 
quently pure and free from all decayed vege- 
as 
table matter or other substances undesirable 
for hatchery purposes. This has been fully 
demonstrated by the. unquestionable success 
that Mr. Shebley has met with in hatching the 
eggs and by the unprecedented growth that has 
been made by the fish that have been retained 
in the rearing ponds. In these ponds can _ be 
seen thousands of steelhead and rainbow trout 
less than two years old that will measure from 
twelve to fourteen inches in length and that 
will weigh from one to two and. one-half pounds 
each. 
During 1906 Mr. Shebley hatched and liber- 
ated in the streams of the county upward of 
1,500,000 trout, 50,000 silver salmon and_1,500,- 
000 quinnat salmon. The hatching of the 
silver salmon is an experiment that is being 
conducted by. Mr. Shebley in connection with 
the United States Fish Commission, with the 
hope of introducing into the streams of the 
country a new species of fish. The silver sal- 
mon is the smallest of the Pacific coast salmon, 
and unlike the quinnat, ascends in the early 
winter the smaller coast streams to spawn. As 
all the streams of Santa Cruz county flow into 
Monterey Bay, it is to be hoped that the silver 
salmon liberated in the streams of Santa .Cruz 
county will find congenial surroundings in the 
waters of the bay, and at proper periods re- 
turn to the streams of the county to spawn. 
this adding a new species of both game and 
food tsh to the already well supplied waters of 
the bay. 
Should the experiments now being conducted 
by Mr. Shebley prove to be successful, great 
benefits are sure to result, as the time when the 
hatchery would be more or less idle could be 
employed in hatching 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 sal- 
mon eggs, and liberating the fry in Monterey 
Bay. This would be a matter of great im- 
portance, both to the angler as well as the fish 
industry, although even at the present day there 
is no place in California where such grand 
sport can be had with rod and line angling for 
that royal game as well as food fish, the quinnat 
salmon, as at Santa Cruz, on Monterey Bay. 
The eggs hatched are of the steelhead trout 
and are all secured in the streams of the county 
from wild trout. No trout are spawned that

Bears I Have Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book: of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex- 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear storir 3, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women av-d 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.
