Fish Hatchery Bill Fails.

1t will be source of genuine re-
greet to all Louisianians to learn that
the appropriation bill which passed the
house Of representatives in Wash
ington, providing for the establish
ment of fish hatchery in the state
of Louisiana, and making an appro-
priation therefor and for it's maintain
ance, failed in the senate for the
reason that the condition of the
treasury did not permit the expend-
iture. It is said, however, that de-
partment officials will not permit
the matter to die, but will at the
proper time again bring it up with
fEter hope of success. Conservation
eigsnmissioner Edgar T. Leche, of
w Orleans, spent some time in
washington in the interest of the
measure. Mr.. Leche says he found
sentiment in favor Of the proposition.
