in Columbia county since Oct. 31,
1932, 60,000 were planted in the
Clatskanie river, 30,000 in Rock
creek and 10,000 in the Nehalem,
according to figures secured from
the state game commission by
Lester Sheeley and E. H. Wash­
burn, who attended the commis­
sion meeting in Portland Monday.
Of 200,000 cutthroat released
since April 4, 1933, 140,000 were
planted in the Clatskanie and
60,000 in Rock creek.
No fish were planted in Milton
creek or Scappoose creek.

40,000 were planted in Rock
creek, 40,000 in the Nehalem,
20,000 in East Fork of the Ne-
halem, and 23,000 in the Little
Fishhawk. Of 150,000 cutthroat,
30,000 each wore planted in
Pebble creek, Peterson creek,
Beaver creek, and Rock creek;
15,000 in North Scappoose, 10,-
000 in the Clatskanie and 5,000
in Cox creek.

Local I fishermen regard last
year’s distribution as fair to all
parts of the county, and are un­
able to account for the conspicu­

the Clatskanie, which is not con­
sidered as important a fishing
