It appears that another examination is to be ordered at once. — Jacksonville Post. ----- A feature of the public market today was the large supply of dressed chickens, beef, pork and goat meat on sale. “We are short on cabbage, beets, carrots and parsnips,” reads the market bulletin board. ----- Fishing for trout over ten inches long is authorized in Klamath County during the months of December and January of each year under an order issued by the state game commission this week.
