PROMISED BY SPRING
Clanton Leaves To Make
Final Selection For Loca
tion Today.
Master Fish Warden Clanton, after
spending the night in Salem, left thU
morning for a trip up the Santiam river,
where he will make the final selection
of the site for the now fish hatchery
to be located upon that stream.
The two best sites for tha hatchery
have alroady boen selected, according to
Mr. Clanton, and the task before him is
to select tho best of these two. . One
is about a milo and-a half below Me
bama and the other at the mouth of
tho Brackcnbush, bolow Detroit, Of- the
two, -the location at the mouth of the
Bruckonbush is tho more desirable bo-
i. a too of the abundance of water, but
tfio absence of roads, or other, means o
transportation to this point oporate to
make the location near Muhama the
more practicable, Mr, Clanton thinks.
He will, however, go over the situation
thoroughly beforo making his final rec
ommendations to the fish and game com
mission, with whom the final decision
rests. .
Tho hatchery, construction work up
on which ha been delayed by the scar
city of deputy wardens to superintend
the work, will be completed by spring,
Mr. Clanton says. One warderf who ha
been doing other work on the Bracken
bush will be available for this work
shortly.
With only the $5000 apropriated for
this project by the last legislature avail
able, the hatchery is to bo so built as
to provide for further units to be con
structed as the money is secured.
While the Suntiam plant is to be pri
marily a salmon hatchery, trout will
also be handled and Mr. Clanton is of
the opinion that the fish thus secured
will go far toward stocking the streams
in this part of the state as they should
be stocked and th0 loss of tish, through
long hauls to the planting grounds will
be minimumlzed.
