Eggs from the "spawners" will be taken from Seven Mile creek to the Klamath hatchery, where they will be artifically hatched and after being fed for several months will be released in Klamath streams. - During the past week Percy Southwick. superintend- 3nt of the Klamath hatchery keeping close watch on Seven Mile Creek in order to start taking eggs at the earliest possible time. Yesterday Mr. Southwick drove to Seven Mile creek and saw suf ficient evidence of the trout run to justify starting in taking eggs. Last year two minion egga wo taken from spawners running up Seven Xfllo creek. ' 'Indicitlons point to as successful egg taking this year as l.ust. The run will last until tho curly part of June. Tho habit of trout to return ta tho stroaim whero they wore hatched or relented when flngorlings, has boon liken advantage of by the hatchery superintendent. It Is tho policy In releasing artificially hatched trout to plant them in tho stream from which thoy were taken, thus insur ing their return when spawning sea son rolls around, toy following this policy tho gnmo officials can be as sured of a heavy run of spawners each year In tho streams where they follow thla pplicy, and can count on several million eggs during the tun from each stream. Seven Milo creek finds Its source high up .lu, the Cascades, northwest of Fort Klamath and winds Its placid way , through' the Fort Klamath meadows 'to its' mouth at Agency lake. .
