modish, one will show the limb above
the knee, Miss west announces.
TRANSPARENT gowns also are TO be
worn by the real style crusaders.

FEAR OF SALMON
EXTINCTION HITS
CALIFORNIA HARD
State Fights to Stop Hydro
Electric Dam Build
ing,
Times Washington Bureau,

SACRAMENTO. Aug. 26.-The
State Of California is officially at IS
sue with the United States Govern
ment and great hydro-electric
power company 10 prevent the de-
struction of the last OF the salmon
and rainbow trout spawning fields,
the klamath River.
The principals in the pending fight
are the California Fish and Game
Commission, backed by the sports
men and fishing industry, on the one
side. and the Electro-Metals Com
pany backed by the Federal Power
Commission, which has granted the
corporation permits to build three
large dams for developing power, on
the other.
The fish and game commission is
officially back Of an initiative law
TO close the klamath to hydro-elec-
trio development and has secured
more than 100000 names, more than
enough to insure the matter being
taken to the voters this November.
Fight Stakes Are Immense
The stakes in the fight are I'M
mense. The value of the power be-
! ing given gratis to the corporation
by the Government is estimated at
sos, o0o. 900.
But, according to F. NJ. Newbert.
chairman Of the fish and game com
mission. the loss to the State and
Nation in fish values wifi be meal
cu,able il the dams are built, for the
dams will completely destroy the
river as a spawning ground.
The klamath River is the great.
est salmon and rainbow trout river
in California" said Newbert. This
river is an IDEAL hatchery and one
Of the most Wonderful natural fish
refugees in the Nation. We need
more, not less, fish life, and II this
great river is given away to private
interests for hydro-electric develop
ments a great blow will be struck
our fishing industries.
World Attention OH California
1.-THE fishing industry employees
$4,000 people and produces an annual
pack of about s25 100000. 1t should
not be disregarded in favor of any
corporation or set Of men.
THE time is here when the nat
uraI resources of our State should be
conserved, for the attention Of the
world Is upon California, both in a
business and a pleasure way"
The commission has voted unani-
mously to back the Siskiyou County
people and the klamath River Con-
servation League in passing the law
blocking the hydro-electric deal.
