PUT ALL FISH WORK
UNDER WARDEN CLANTON

PORTLAND, Feb. 6.—To give R. E. Clanton, master fish warden of the state, full control of the propagation and distribution of trout and other game fish is the intention of Stone and other members of the state board of fish and game commissioners. To effect this will mean the making of several radical changes in the arrangement of the fish and game department during the coming year.

At present, W. I. Finley, state game warden, has charge of the game fish distribution, but in the past this arrangement has not been very successful. The trout are hatched at salmon hatcheries, which are usually busy with the propagation of the commercial fish.

If the board places this game fish work under the supervision of Mr. Clanton, a comprehensive plan will be worked out. There will first be made a thorough investigation as to which of the streams most frequently patronized by sportsmen need the fish worst. Then a series of hatcheries for the exclusive propagation of game fish is planned.
