To the Honorable Board of Fiab

Salem, Oregon,
Gentlemen:
Arrests sod prosecutions dur­
ing the month for violation of the
laws pertaining to the fishing in­
dustry have been ts follows:
District No. “ 2.’’
May 11: Complaint was filed by
State Water Bailiff J. A. Conner of
Rogue river agaiDst Psarl Beeman
and Frank Burns for fishing for
salmon and taking salmon from the
waters of the Rogue river within
the G00-foot limit of ths fishway pro-
vided the Golden Drift Mining
Company’s dam aceross Rogue river
above Grants Pass.
The case was tried in the Grant*
Pass Justice Court May 23 before a
jury, and while it was fully shown
by Mr. Conner that said Beeman
and Burns were fishing for salmon
within the 600-foot limit of said fish­
way with a net and were found tak­
ing salmon from the waters of Rogue
river within said limit, the jury
would not agree upon a verdict
whereupon they were discharged
and the case, upon motion of the
Deputy District Attorney, was af­
terwards dismissed. It is the in­
tention of the Deputy District At­
torney to not drop the case entirely
but to take it up in ths Circuit
court at the next term of said court.
Hatchery Operations.
The Chinook and Rilverside sal­
mon fry raised from eggs collected
at our different hatchery stations
last fall have all been turned out
into the waters of the state with the
exception of a few that Superintend­
ent Thomas BrowD is keeping at
the Salmon Kivering Hatchery for
scientific purposes. The season’s
work resulted in our raising and
turning out in good condition, into
the tributaries of the Columbia
river, 13,378,546 Chinook fry and
243,572 Bilverside fry and into the
waters of the coast streams 13,876,-
527 Chinook fry nnd 7,260,083 Sil-
verstde fry making a total of 34,-
758,728 fry that were liberated into
the waters throughout the state;
27,255,073 of which were Chinooks
and 7,503,655 were Silversidea.
At the Salmon river hatchery, a
few o f the Chinook fry developed
very early last fall and tlio planting
began in October but the greater
portion were not liberated until
this spring.
At the McKenzie river station, a
few were liberated during the
months of November and December
but the principal hatch was not
turned out until January and F eb­
ruary 1906.
On the Wallowa river, the plant­
ing was done this spring during the
months o f April and May.
