Plans for the Improvement have been brought about largely through . the efforts of Game Commissioner David B. Evans ot Eugene and Matt Ryckman, su perintendent ot hatcheries tor the commission, and are a goal toward which the Xane county Game Protective' association has long been working. The real turning point in the Improvement of the hatchery has been the utilization of the cold water of the McKenzie to feed the fish-ponds. Heretofore Little Finn creek on the north side of the river was the only source. of fish. pond water. In the summer months it waa too warm for the number of fish that have to be, aept in ine ponusi Across from the fish hatchery 18 or 20 new ponds will be con structed, fed from the McKenxle.
