Montana Fish and Game Commission; Game protection; Wildlife conservation; Fisheries. 6 REPORT OF MONTANA FISH AND GAME COMMISSION line railroads radiate from Missoula, the fingerlings from these ponds are being supplied to the Couer d'Alene branch in Mineral County, Sanders County, Ravalli County, part of Powell and Granite County. In fact, all the streams in Montana west of the Continental divide re- ceive benefit from these ponds, except a few tributaries of the Kootenai in Lincoln t.'ounty. Some idea of how rapidly these ponds develop the fish will be seen when it is known that 80 cans of fry planted in the ponds in June and July required 400 cans to haul them out in October. Ponds have been built near Bozeman, at three points along the West Gallatin river, Belgrade, Emigrant, and the Ovando ponds are still in use as brood ponds. In order to secure the best results in planting fish, much attention has been given to the proper instruction of those meeting them at the train and taking them out to the streams. The reports received showing the result of this work is certainly most gratifying and this work will be enlarged. The planting of small trout fry has been discontinued. The Commission believes that small subsidiary hatcheries distributed over the State will not only lessen the cost of distribution but will result in much less loss on account of lessening the distance and time getting the fry from the hatchery to the streams. With this object in view, the hatchery built at Salmon Lake and turned over to the State by the Western Mont. Fish and Game Ass'n has been discontinued owing to the water being too warm, and has been rebuilt in a larger way at Ovando. This plant will supply the entire Blackfoot Drainage, which having no railroad, makes it necessary to produce fish locally to re- stock, as hauling a sufficient number of fish by truck from the rail- road to stock so large a territory has
