high for consideration by the resi

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

FI8HWAY OVER COPCO DAM
FOUND TO BE IMPRACHCAIILE.
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.
