REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. XCIII Clackamas Station, Orec40N (W. F. Hubbard, Superintendent). Owing to the difficulties experienced in past years in constructing arack across the Clackamas strong enough to withstand the freshetsthat occur every fall, and as arrangements had already been made tocollect eggs on the upper river, the Salmon Riv^r, and the Little WhiteSalmon, it was decided not to attempt collections on the lower river inthe vicinity of the station, but to use the hatchery for hatching andrearing fry from eggs transferred from the substations mentioned. Asthe season advanced, however, it became apparent that collections atthese points would be light, and 704,000 eyed eggs were purchased fromlocal fishermen. The transfers from other stations were as follows:4,926,000 from the Little White Salmon, shipped between October 20and November 8; 16,200 from the Salmon River and 2,000,000 fromBattle Creek, received January 6; making a total of 7,646,200 salmoneggs
