A Broken Heart
OREAT FALLS. Mont.. April 12.
With his fortuno spent In his ef
forts to perfect a nation wldo farm
ers' cooperative organization, and do
clarod heart broken because of tho
failure of tho rurnllsts of tho west
to adopt bis plan on tho scalo ha bad
dreamed of, Flndlay A, Rennott, ori
ginator .of tho American Society of
Equity, died recently In Wlllornlo,
Minnesota, according to word receiv
ed horo.
Co-operntlvo distribution of farm
and manufactured products was tho
basic Idoa In tho organization Mr.
Dennett croatcd, Uy IS months en
thusiastic work, during 1915 nnd
1916, Mr. Donnctt, thon a resident
of Croat Fnlls, signed about 15,000

Tho Immense wheat crop In Mon

IT
WEALTH OF FISH
A baro start has been made In tho
development of Klamath county's
possibilities as a center of fish pro
pagation, Is tbo belief of M. L.
Ryckman, stato superintendent of
fish hatcheries, who left for Port
land this morning after sovoral days'
Inspection of tho local hatchery and
egg-taking stations.
Mr. Ryckman met with tho oxecu
tlvo comrnltteo of tho local sports
men's association last night to dlav
cuss mattors. Among other things
ho stated that his department would
supply 100,000 eastorn brook trout
this fall for planting above tho Lost
Rlvor dam. Ifo also said that tho
Crooked creek hatchery capacity
would bo moro than doubled. Ono
hundred troughs will be tho slzo of
tho Increased plant which now has
-40 troughs.
Klamath county will produco be
tween olght and nlna million trout
eggs this year, and about throo mil
lion eggs will bo hatched and liber
ated In tho county. The remainder
will bo distributed throughout the
state.
It thas also been decided to ralso
BOO, 000 fish nt the Crooked Creok
hatchery until thoy aro yoarllngs.
Then thoy will bo liberated. 8portii
men estimate that one yearling fish
Is worth tivo flngcrllngs to tlw
sportsman, as at tho year-old stage'
they nro well able to tako cans of
themselves and do not fall pray to
Jarger fish. On account of tho num
ber of largo fish In LaKo-o-tno-woous,
It Is uphill work to restock It, but
by feeding fish at tho hatchery un
til they nro a year-old tho loss by
predatory attacks of the big fish Is
reduced.
After inspection of tho county
streams and hatcheries, Mr. Ryck
man wan convinced that the possi
bilities of propagation are unlimited.
Twenty million eggs can be produced
In Diamond Lake alone, each year,
It Is said.
Additional fund would, of course,
bo needed ns tho development pro
gresses, but some additional money
will be forthcoming from the license
fund, the prices of fishing and hunt-Ing-Ilcensea
having beon raised from
$1.50 each to $3 thin year, or IS
for a comblnntlon license. If this
revenue In not sufficient legislative
npproprlatlon might bo secured.

It will clean out tho old drain ditch

thrco years, nnd has been responsi

As CasinfpGoes Down
Gas Flow Increases
At Klamath Co's. Well
Tho gas flow nt tho Klamath Oil
company's woll on tho Manning
ranch grows stronger as tho casing
goes deeper, said Noll Campbell In
conversation horo last night. Mr.
Campbell Is In charge of the drilling.
Tho casing is now down about 1280
feet, leaving some ICO foet to go.
As tho casing Is lowered streams of
water nro shut out at different levels,
resulting In constantly Increasing gas
flow. Tho gas pressuro is so strong, It
Is snld, that it lifted n board weight
