SALMON HATCHERY THERE
-in
capacity Two Millions Chinook Eggs
; Now Hatching It is in Alsea. ;
Though not generally known, a
salmon-hatchery is in full opera
tion in the Alsea Valley. If is
known as the Alsea Hatchery Sta
tion? and is located on the farm of
Willis Vidito. where I- McCormack
creek, the south fork and the main
rivet- unite. - Work began on Aug
ust 14th, The hatchery is , in
charge of J W Robinson, formerly
an employe of - the . Clackamas
hatchery. Mr Robinson has had a
number of years of experience in
this line of work He is assisted
by William Headrick. vw
The river at this point has been
well racked, there being five racks
in ihe stream. There are 16 troughs
in which 1 are placed the baskets
containing the eggs. The total
number of baskets is f 8. Each
basket is 1 1 inches by 24 - inches,
madeof wire cloth, and capable of
holding 250,000 eggs. The total
capacity of the plant is in the
neighborhood of 2,000,000 eggs. -:
The first eggs were secured Sep
tember 16th and so far 76,000 eggs
have been placed in the baskets.
These are Chinook. On account
of the lateness ot the season v in
which operations were begun and
the lack of fall rains to raise the
river, the catch of salmon has
been very small. Usually the run
has been large in - the waters of
Alsea. While it is the intention
of the state fish commissioner to se
cure as many of this class of eggs
as possible, the main , object of the
hatchery is to propagate the silver
salmon. It has - been found that
the natural conditions are very fav
orable for future work. The av
erage temperature required to pro
duce good results is 52 degrees.
So far the average has been be
tween 50 and 52. r s
Originally this was to be only an
experiment. So far 500 has
been expended. .... Judging from re
sults up to date, it is more
. , J
tnarrt
likely that this will become a per
manent station. As it is the in!
tention ofthe state "commissioner
to permanently . establish such a
plant on the waters "of Alsea, the
location of the present plant meets
every .condition. ;;
At the end of last week-the silv
er sides were not running ; to any
great extent.5! is thought that
the recent rains will insure a large
run of-this salmon. The leports
from the Alsea Bay are that there
is an abundance of fish there. It
is hoped that this experiment will
be of such a character that the in
dustry will become a fixture.
WHAT THE FIGURES ARE
Many People Cross the Corvallis Ferry
: Ferryman's Record. -
A record is kept ; of the daily
traffic over the Corvallis ferry. The
figures that the record presents,
are interesting:. For the month of
September last past, the number
of trips across the river was -2. 150;
the number of teams and vehicles,
4.753, the number of persons with
vehicles. e.Wthe number of
wheelmen and-footmen, 4,136. ,
The number of trips during the
month of October was 2,087; num
ber ot-vehicles with .teams, 2,957;
number -of persons in vehicles,
4,725; number of footmen- and
wheelmen, 1,825.
No account has been kept , of
Sunday traffic, which keeps the
ferry going when the weather is
good, Wheelbarrows, hand wag
ons and baby .carriages were not
c ounted. Hoppicking greatly aug
mented the travel by , footmen dur
ing two weeks of September.

BOUGHT ROAD ROLLER
Weighs Eight Tons Must be Used Ton
New Grade County Court. " -I
At Thursday's session the com
missioners court ordered the - pur
chase of a road roller. The" ap
pliance is to come from the Hast
and under the-contract is to reach
Cprvallis by April 1st. Its use on
newly graded roads before gravel
is put on, will be made obligatory
in all - districts next year. The
idea oi the court is that much waste
can be avoided, by having newly
graded roads well packed by the
roller before gravel is added. It
is also the purpose to have the rol
ler go over all gravel after it is
placed on the roads. " ' .
The new roller is a.huge cylinder
six feet in diameter and five feef in
length. It is to be drawn by horses
and four will be required for the
purpose. The tongue is reversible,
so that when it is desired to run the
roller in an opposite direction the
mere removal of a pin attaches the
horses to the back side, and . turn
ing of the machine is avoided. The
weight of the appliance is six tons,
and platesand weights are provid
ed, that swell the total weight to
eight tons. iThe cost of the ma
chine is $100 per ton and freight.

Comfort and Style
When you try on a pair of shoes, look for two
things-comfort and style.
You must have them both! Either one by itself
is not"enb'ugh. It is easy to make a stylish shoe, but
it is very difficult to combine the two. To make a
stylish shoe that is comfortable is the high art.
