NEW YORK FISH AND GAME. 
Continued from page 697. 
capacity doubled. The output this year much more! 
than justified the outlay. Some improvements} 
have been made at Caledonia, and more must be} 
made. As stated in my last annual report, the} 
Caledonia hatchery has, by virtue of its location| 
and the water supply, all of the natural ad- 
vatages which, if properly utilized, would make 
it the greatest hatchery in the United States. 
Because of its close proximity to large centers 
of population, it is visited by thousands ot 
people each year. It should be improved and 
enlarged; the title to the whole creek and neces- 
sary land along the borders of the same should 
be acquired by the State by purchase or con- 
demnation. An apropriation of money enough 
to accomplish this would be amply justified by 
the improvement when made. 
More land and water privileges have been 
acquired at the Bath hatchery and the condition 
there is much improved. 
Artesian wells have been sunk at Cold Spring, 
and a large flow of pure water acquired at little 
expense for that hatchery. 
With a very small increased appropriation the! 
ius Point hatchery at Chautauqua Lake 
cuuld be made to care for and rear a large num- 
ber of trout of various kinds, in addition to 
the maskalonge work now carried on at that) 
station. This is very desirable and should be 
provided for. Reports from all our hatchery! 
foremen are made part of this report and furnish 
an account of the work at each station. 
The value and importance of the forest land) 
owned by the State cannot well be overesti- 
mated. The necessity for the preservation of |: 
the forests of the State is great; the necessity 
for acquiring much more land than that the} 
State now has, is of equal importance; especially | 
is the necessity for both very important in the|' 
Forest Preserve territory in the Adirondacks, | 
We are apt to lose sight of the fact that nearly | 
all of the great rivers of the ‘State have their | 
sources in and flow out of that great upland |! 
plateau. One has only to reflect for a moment || 
upon the number and size of these rivers to | 
comprehend the vast importance of the preser- || 
vation of the forest land in which they rise. |' 
Among them are the Hudson, Schroon, Oswe- |! 
gatchie, Raquette, Grass, St. Regis, Saranac, |! 
Ausable, Rock, Cedar, Moose, Beaver and 
Black Rivers, East and West Canada Creeks, | 
each a river of itself, although called a creek, | 
the most important tributaries of the Mohawk. | 
During the year 1906 there was cut and taken|! 
from the woodlands of the Empire State over|! 
I,300,000,000 feet of timber, board measure; a}! 
very large proportion of that amount was taken |! 
from the Adirondack Mountains. The soft-|t 
woods are nearly all lumbered off; that is, that |! 
part which is fit to cut. The value of ail kinds |! 
of lumber is daily increasing and soon it will|! 
be so great that the lumbering of the hardwood |t 
in the Adirondacks will be feasible; the price so | 
much exceeding freight rates and the cost of|1 
manufacture that the profits will warrant the |( 
lumbering of the hardwood. If the people of|: 
the State allow that to occur, and the hard-|s 
woods are taken off, the protection of the| 
sources of the rivers which rise in that section}, 
of the State will be destroyed and it will be too |, 
late to repair the injury. \ 
It is the judgment of the Forest, Fish andj 
Game Commission, as well as of many people ( 
well informed upon this subject, that some pro-|} 
vision should be immediately made for the pur- |} 
chase of at least a million acres more of land in IF 
that region, and thereby preserve forever the |} 
forest lands that are so essential to the welfare, | 
health and prosperity of the people of the Em- |f 
pire State. f 
The Land Purchasing Board has materially |p 
added to the holdings of the State, during the || 
year of 1906 having purchased all told about | 
80,311 acres, making the total amount of land | 
held at this time by the State 1,520,299 acres. 
Of that there are in the Adirondacks 1,415,775 |k 
acres, the balance, 104,524 acres, being in the |a 
Catskills. 
The prices paid for land so purchased have | 
been in all cases very reasonable, and the pur- 
le ad
