Their Dam a Complete Stop to Fish
Ascending the River, Nearly the
Entire Year.
Across tho Umatilla river, a mllo
ana a naif from Its month the Hoi
brook Ditch Company have a dam for
mo purpos-j of diverting the water
from the river into their ditch for ir
rigation purposes. This dam Is onlv
two and one-half feet high, and is no
obstruction to fish ascending or, de
scending the stream during high wa
ter, out. as this stream is huh onlv a
very small portion of tho time, tlw
aam is sufficiently high, being con
siructert on a flat bod of rock, to he
a complete stop to fish aseendtng tho
river nearly the. entire year, and dur
ing me extreme dry portion of tho
year, all the water that tha river car
ries is taken from the river lied Into
the lrlgatlng ditch, leaving practical-
ly no water to flow down the river bed
from this dam to the mouth o fthe
river excepting what little leaks
through the dam and through their
ditch flume, which is a verv trifling
amount From investigations made. I
And that, during high water, a sand
bar forms at the mouth of this river
and that when the waters in the Co
lumbia recedes this sand bar com
pletely closes the mouth of the Uma
tilla, and that, during tho drv season.
while the water is practically all
taken from the river for irrigation pur
poses, mere are months at a time
that no water from the Umatilla flows
Into the Columbia. The river bed from
the dam to the sand bar at tho mouth
of tho river is of a lava or bed rock
formation. Above the dam the river
1b quite a little stream, and is bounti-
luiiy supplied with trout and other
fish, but how are we going to main
tain it as a trout and fish stream with
the waters all practically taken for ir
rigating purposes will remain to be
seen. The people on the upper waters
interested in fish are cry anxious
about the matter and think that 'ash

heretofore. I met Mr. F. B. Holbrook.
manager of the ditch company, and
notified him relative to the law gov
erning such matters, and he assured
me that he would comply with it fully
and furnish a nshway through tlr
dam admitting fish at all stages of
the season.
La Grande Hatchery.
"At La Grande, the La Grande Elec
tric Light and Power Company have
a dam across the Grande river for
power purposes. This dam is' about
14 feet high, and I found it to be a
complete obstruction, though it is pro
vided with a flush gate that they al
low to remain open during certain
stages of the water, through which
they contend that fish can ascend and
descend tho river. I notified them
that it was. not a legal affair and that
they would have to provide the dam
with the "Improved Call System" of
fishway. Mr. Joseph Palmer, the
manager of the company, assured me
that this would be done, and that im
mediate steps would be taken 'towards
getting it in.
'Below this dam a few hundred
yards, the Ore Dell Ditch Company
have a wing dam extending entirely
across the river, made of loose rock
and brush, as a lead for their irrigat
ing ditch. It was not more than a
foot high, but for all that, was a com
plete obstruction and one of those

Grande Ronde Hatchery.
"October 21st I visited tho Grande
Ronde River Uatchery Station and
found that Superintendent Allen had
been successful In securing 3,000,000
Chinook eggs. The season was prac
tically over for this variety, though
he Mill had more "Chlnooks" within
his enclosure, but not enough to affect
his number very materially. At this
station he also expects to get a largo
number of Sockeye eggs, and from tho
number of Sockeye salmon that he
had enclosed, I see no reason why he
snouia not do as well with them this
season as ho did last and probably
win do better for, present indications
seem to be better this year for this
variety ot salmon than what they
were last year.
This is a promising stream for
our work, but for anything permanent
tnink wo should endeavor to get
away from the moss which this year
proved very expensive to us. and
which is liable at all times to be very
serious for, If it should come along
at any tlmo when there is tho least
of a freshet in the river, it would be
Impossible to maintain and hold a set
of racks across tho river. That wo
might betten our condition and get
away from the worst of this moss, I
went over the ontiro river and its
principal tributaries with Mr. Allen.
and from what we found, I think it
would be better for us if we were fur
ther up the stream of which there
are two very good sized ones, and If
the necessary rights and privileges
can bo secured, I think wo should en-j
deavor to do this another season, J
Ontario Hatchery.
"At tho Ontario Hatchery Station
they are In the midst ot their Chinook
esg-taklng season, and up to the pres
ent date had succeeded In taking 7,
756.000 eggs from 1636 female sal
mon. Frank Brown, superintendent
in charge, figures that he has fully,
as many more salmon enclosed be

without doubt double tho .present
number reported.
Five Days' Record.
"During the last five days of tho
month the number of female salmon
spawned each day averaged 171; the
largest number spawned any one day
was October 30th, when they spawned
210 females, from which they took !,
(129,000 eggs; October 31st was the
next largest day, 873,000 eggs having
been taken from 180 females.
