' KLAMATH WAITS PATIENTLY Hatchery Bill May Carry $1000, if Not $10,000 as Hoped. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Feb. 15. (Special.) Further details of the Spring Creek hatchery bill, which passed the Senate, have been received. This bill was Introduced by Senator Merryman, asking- for $10,000 for a trout hatchery In Klamath County and the Klamath Senator made a strong ftRht for its passage, but the Senate ways and means committee cut the amount down to $4000. Word now comes from Salem that Merryman will make an attempt to get the amount raised in the ways and means commit tee of the House back to his original request and get it through in that man ner. The local people, naturally, are Jubi lant over tha fact that there seems to be a chance to get a bill through at all for a hatchery for thig county and were willing to accept the $4000 with open arms and a hurrah for Senator Merry man and Representative Thompson if tha latter could work it through the House even at that figure, but they also felt that this $4000 would not go very far toward building and equip ping a hatchery.
