ted ut Spraguo river ("am, located at
rClillciqtiin n tho KlaniuUi Indian
roiicrvatloii as tho result iif the visit
of four men prominent In fish prop
osition work is the belief of local
sportsmen ot Klamath eouniy.
M. I.. Hyckman of Portland superin
tendent of tho fish hatcheries of
Oregon, W. O. Iladlty of The Dalles,
In ehurgo of thn state lull ladder
work, Hugh C. Mitchell and J. R.
Rusael both moo of tho Federal
Bureau of fisheries, specializing In
fish ladders, arrived In Klamath
Falls Sunday and spent yesterday
al Sprague river dam conducting an
Investigation. '
The present fifth ladder at Sprague
river has been Inadequate. It is
located in 'the quiet water of the dam
and Investigation hks proved that a
trout will overlook a fish ladder un
less it is located in swift water. The
dam ut Sprague river is a federal
dam inasmuch as It Is located on the
federal Indian reservation.
The Klamath sportsmen's associa
tion have been -petitioning the
the government for the paat four
yeara to erect a new fish ladder In
a more suitable location but with
no success. The matter was, recen
tly, brought to the attention ot the
stnta game commission and word has
been received from State Came War
den Burghdutf that the commission
have decided to erect a new fish
ladder at the. state's expense.
Tho now ladder will be agreat aid
to the trout during spawning seosoa,
as It Is their natnre to seek cold
clear and shallow streams during
that periods It will take several
months to build It. but
under the expert management of
Hadlcy, thoro will be no mistake la
location. . ,
Will Inereaso Fish
A fish hatchery Just below the
dam will save the streams through
out tho reservation for future fish
ing and will put more fish In the
streams. The hatchery would be
erected by the government. It Is
pointed out that a fish hatchery
would bo a fine acquisition to thfi
Icdlnn reservation as more eggs
mean more fish.
There Is a tendency to bclievo that
the Indians might oppose a hatch'
ery at this point. Fred A. IVnkor
anverlntendent ot tho Indian reaor
vntlon accompanied the party on its
Inspection trip. Tho reservation
could very easily hold up the build
Ing of the hatchery, but the fish
ladder will unquestionably be built
without Interference.

PAGEANT CAN
BE GREAT, BUT-
'You Can't Make it an An
nual Affair .by Letting a
Few Do It All"
With a word of U praise . nnd
thunks for thoso who' helped In
staging the railway celebration,
and a word of friendly criticism
for those who promised help and
failed, John Goodrich, director of
the pageant, whoso untiring ef
forts. . and skilled knowledge of
where to start unravelling when
things became tangled, was large
ly responsible for the shows sue-;
cess, left this morning for Sprague!
Itlver to collect his belonglng3.

Hollywood.
Following Is Goodrich's state
ment, submitted to The Herald In
his own writing, and published,
praise and criticism alike, as be
wrote it :
I haven't much to say," he
said,, ns he handed over the pa
per." but what I have to say may

I can' get out of town before the
paper appears on the street."
Here is what ho wrote:
"As' far as the show" Itself is
concerned I do not know how
good r bad It was. I was too busy
to watch what was going on, but
don't let Klamath Falls get too
high-nosed about their celebration.
"I have many friends here and
it Is a place I want always to come
back to. I would hate to hurt r
liodyls.? .fvjlngs, but the P ' ;

hot by any means. It was put
on by the untiring and unlimited
co-operation of a few.
"When I was stack on anything
I called Pelican Bay Lumber com
pany and Pelican Bay Lumber
company produced; from furnish
ing a violin player to putting th
locomotive on the stage at the
last minute.
"The High School from the vwy
first member Jumped Into the
spirit of the thing and gave t'f'l r
undivided support to the part they
played. They- cancelled football
games, responded perfectly to
every rehearsal call and did mar
velously well. My thanks to thorn.
'"When it came to lightning ot

"I would like so much of thls
and the answer was: "It will be
there."
"The same spirit at the Pine
Tree Theatre. I went down to
see what they had that I might
use. I was token behind the stage
and heard, "Here's all we've got.
Help yourself,"
"It wao but a Bhort got, but
those cattle and riders you saw
on the stage meant a tremend'
ous lot ot time and work. I went
to the Klamath . Packing company
and the answer was, "Tell us what
you want and It will be there,"
"The finale was perforce short.
