car ,( Rainbow) of .Eastern Brook
and Rainbow trout fry on No. 15 for
distribution In Douglas county.
There were 125 cans of Rainbows
and 30 cans of Eastern Brook trout
The Eastern Brook trout were a
very excellent variety, varying in
length from ten to 13 Inches, with
the exception of a few cana which
were younger.
The Rainbow were very much
larger than ever shipped before.
The distribution throughout the
county are as follows:
Five cans were left at Oakland
for one or two tributaries of Calla
pooia creek; 25 cans were unloaded
at Elntherlin for the upper (Cala
pooia and Hubbard creeks; 64 cans
were unloaded at Roseburg for
North and South Deer creek, Rock
creek, East Umpnua. Cavitt creek,
Olalla, Hubbard, Mill and Callahan,
creeks; five cans were unloaded at
Dillcrd for planting in Rice creek
and 58 cans were unloaded at Rid
dle for the Upper Cow creek and
tributaries, Canyon creek, O'Shea
creek ond other tributaries along the
South Ilmoqua.
Forest Supervisor S. C. Bartrum
met the car in the north end of the
county and had charge of the dis
tribution while Joe Sykes and Orren
Thompson assisted at KoBeburg and
Riddle.
The unloading ond distribution
was done with dispatch and the
planting was the most successful yet
undertaken in this county. The re
ports show that less than two per
cent of the fish died in transit. This
Roes to prove the wisdom of keen-!
ing trout, fry until of sufficient size
to endure the distribution and pro
lan themselves from other predatory
fish. '
There were a host of local sports
out at each of the places to handle,
the fish. Sportsmen or numerim
turned out In a body and could have
handled with dispatch many times
more than was nlloted to them.
This Is surely an enthusiastic bunch
of fellows.
