They report a most enthusiastic meeting, and be lieve that preparations for Irrigation there will be commenced Immedi ately. This district waa Included In the. orlglnnl project, and the dam at Clear Uke w as constructed Jby the govern ment with the Irrigation of upper val leys In view. The Una! Igure sub mitted tm the cost of the water, how. ever, was deemed at that time too high for consideration by the resi dents, and they were permitted to withdraw from the district. The results of the last two years of dry fsrmlng, however, have convinced the ranchera there of the wonderful bonedla of Irrigation, and In response to their desire the government has made an offer of a water rata at a very low figure, payable la twenty years without Interest, the farmers to do tbelr own ditching and build their canals.

NEW' aUTCMEIt' IN CALIFOR NIA WILL SUPPLY STOCK FOR STREAMS HERE Sportsmen of Klamath County and the whole Coast will be delighted to learn that a plan has been worked out whereby thousands of fish of differ ent varieties will be planted In the streams adjacent to the Klamath Lakes, which will make this section an angler's paradise. For the past three or four years the federal bureau of fisheries has main tained flsh racks at Klamathon, In California, on the Klamath River, and local sportsmen claim that this has aerlonsly Interfered with the run of fish up tho Klamath. With the completion of the big dam at Copco any run of flsh up the river beyond that point has been cut of, and discussion between the fed eral bureau 'of flsberles and the flsh commmmeaa ef California and Oregon.; baa been In progress for some time' past as to the heat meaaa of solving thla problem In fair way and satis factory to all parties concerned, and especially the protection of one of the world'a greatest flaherman'a resorts, vU.: the Klamath Lake region. The Idea of a flsh ladder over the Copco dam waa first takeu up and considered. In detail, but aa a height of soma 130 feet would have to be overcome, It waa decided from sta tistics and the opinion of experts, that the Installation would not give satis- factory results. Finally the California-Oregon Pow. er company was taken Into the discus sion of general plans, and as all tne members composing the board of di rector of that company nre enthusi astic Ashermsn, there was soon ar rived at a plan whereby the federal bureau of flsberlea haa relinquished all Its control of the Klamath River In California to the California Bute Flsh Commission, and haa turned over to It the buildings, racks and spawn tak ing apparatus. California-Oregon power company haa agreed to the erection of n hatchery on Its property on Fall Creek, which, on account of the clear and oven temperature of ths water, a iierfect condition Is found (or hatching and caring for the little fUh, aud the California Flsh Commis sion agrees to take spawn and hatch varlo.ua varieties of flsh native to the coast streams, and to deliver to the Oregon Flsh Commisloa nnd lite game wardens of Klamath County all tne little flsh necessary to stock abun dantly the numerous lakes, rlvero and creeks In the vicinity. The Oregon Filh and Game Com mission Is particularly pleated, as a much felt v-ant li.telng supplied with out cost, other than transportation, to tho people of Oregon and this locality. The commission was represented by Project Engineer H. W. Hlncks of the Modoc Point project In this matter. m RIG UNKR AGAIN FLOATED PACIFIC PORT, March 7.
