CALIFOlXIA LKADS TIIK WAY.
; l'.'or several years California has hcen the only state
on the Pacific coast thai conducts its own fish hatcheries,
.the propagation of fish in Oregon and Washington hcing
'in charge of the federal htircau of fisheries, which con
' fines its attention lo the commercially valuable species
, aiid (Iocs not maintain hatcheries for trout, says a bulletin
, of the federal government.
California, having its own hatcheries, has been able
lo supply not only other states of the Union, but even for
eign count ries, as Germany, New Zealand and Japan, with
..I fish eggs. The total output of young trout in California
''"will amount this year to eleven millions, there being three
"millions each of rainbow, cutthroat and steelhead, the rest
being Loch heven and eastern brook trout. Of the eleven
millions, six are produced by Uie Sissons hatchery, while
the rest come from the trout stations at Tahoe City, (lien
Alpine and Tallac on Lake Tahoe, the hatcheries at Brook
" dale in' Santa Cruz county, at Ukiah in Mendocino county
, -and on the Eel river.
"... ..'-The fish commissioners of California follow the prac
tice recommended by the best authorities, of liberating
the voting fish as soon as the umbilical sac is absorbed and
the search for natural food begins. The fish thus retain
their, native wildncss and develop the instinct of self
preservation, which is weakened if they remain too long
in captivity and arc nourished on artificial food, such
as they do not find when they arc in the wild state.
At the last session of the legislature of California sev
eral bills for the establishment of small fish hatcheries
were presented, but the fish commissioners contended that
the hatcheries ought to be situated in places whence the
young fish could be conveyed quickly to the streams to be
stocked, and urged that the desired results could be at
tained better by building a special fish-distributing ear
than by establishing small hatcheries. The legislators,
taking this view, appropriated $7."t0 to build a ear for the
distribution of fish. Hitherto the practice has been to
transport young fish in baggage or express cars.
The new car is sixty feet long and has vestibuled end.
so that it i'au be attached to a passenger train It is paint
ed orange and bears the inscription. "Fish Pistrihuting
Car." It contains large tanks, which are filled with fresh
mountain water at starting. The car holds one hundred
and twenty-five slrpptug cans or six hundred thousand
fish, which arrive at their destination in inu.-li better con
dition than when shipped by the old method. 'Hie car also
contains accouunod.itiotis for four men and an office for
the superintendent.
Every part of the state can be reached by the car, anil
by its facilities the commissioners ate able to fill a dozen
or more applications tor young tisii on each trip. An i
At this time of the year, when the roads of the county
are almost bottomless, rutty, sticky and horse-breaking to
use for business requirements, and realizing that the. more
impassable the highways the greater the indifference on
the part of those who use them to haul produce to market,
it will be surprising to the public generally to learn that
an international congress with the sole object of discussing
and forwarding country road making was recently held in
Paris. The official and district delegates in attendance
represented twenty-three nations, and included military
and civil engineers, highway superintendents from state
and local governments, officers of road associations and
other progressive men who are interested in road improve
ment as an essential measure of public policy. They rep
resented countries with varying local conditions, spoke in
many languages, and related widely dillercnt experiences
and opinions, but they were unanimous in declaring the
question of highway construction and maintenance to be
one of the trust urgent and important subjects now press
ing upon their respective governments.
In reporting the meeting, Farm and Home stated that
every phase of road construction was considered, and
maintenance and traffic were given attention. It may
naturally be utpposed that a subject which would bring
together representatives from widely separated countries
would cnlis! the most serious discussion and effort to ar
rive at practicable conclusions for the betterment of high
ways and for the improvement of social and business con
ditions. Such was the case. The delegates were earnest
and intelligent advocates of world-improvements in pub
lic highways. A permanent organization was effected
to be known as the International Road Congress associa
tion. If work of such semi-national character shall, even in
a small way, lead people who use country roads to want
better conditions, results of large benefit will in time fol
low. Next to good ranches and favorable climatic condi
tions, good roads are profit makers. They are, like mar
kets, side partners of success.
