Hatcheries In Good Shape Amid Inland Empire Rail Plans
John M. Crawford inspected Walla Walla city hatchery and discussed plans for a new filter. The hatchery, with 60 000 fry per cycle and potential four to five hatches annually, can produce 2 000 000 to 3 000 000 fish yearly. Rainbow trout eggs from Iowa government hatchery were placed in troughs for incubation using compressed air turned by a table mechanism. The Hood River Sumpter Valley extension to Prineville is unlikely this year due to rails costs and labor, with a possible but delayed extension, not this year.

No Mall Box at Sumpter Valley Depot
The government will not place a mall box at the Sumpter Valley depot for mail sent on the train. Postmaster Lachner reports one outgoing train per day, at the depot for half an hour, and patrons must use drop boxes in the mall car before it leaves. The Sumpler Valley drop boxes have not operated reliably, causing delays until the clerk arrives.
