Biennial report, Montana Game and Fish Commission, State of Montana . Hatcheries of the State Work That Is Being Done The hatcheries are now in first class condition, those at Anaconda and Somersbeing supplied with concrete hatching troughs, which are more satisfactory thanthe wooden ones formerly installed. The buildings at both hatcheries are in goodcondition as repairs are made as needed thus saving from deterioration the verycreditable structures there erected. We have required employes, where other duties. Fish Car Interior did not not prevent, to devote any spare time they may have to care of grounds andbuildings as well as improvements of water supply and stock ponds. The watersupply at Anaconda is very satisfactory since steps have been taken to preventwater algar and moss as well as other minute water vegetation from entering thetroughs; but at Somers therewas some trouble experienced with a flow of sand andmica as well as from the water becoming too warm because it flows too great adistance from the source in a spring to the hatchery without adequate shade. Thishas now been remedied. Arrangements have now been made to convey the waterin pipes buried a sufficient depth to maintain the same uniform temperature whichis found at the source. The owner of the adjoining land has caused some trouble byclaiming ownership of the water and by failing to use proper care in driving stockacross the open part of the water course above the intake thus causing mud andsand to flow into the hatching
