Wortlen. Id Statement lo Governor Weal, Declares; That Organization Waa Formed to Oppose Court. SALKil. Or.. March 4. (Special.) William S. Wordcn. County Judge of Klamath County, came back at his ac cusers today in a statement to Gov ernor West upholding tlie action of the Klamath County Court in different mattera set out In the petitions from the Klamath Falls Commercial Club. He supplements the letter with tha copy of a report of the Klamath Coun ty grand Jury. In which the action of the court relative to the poor farm Is approved. Ho also insert a lengthy letter sent to the taxpayers of Kla math County. In which the court sets nut in full just what it has accom plished In road work and why It was done. Pabllelty la Kearelted. We deprecate the publicity which our county will acquire by reason of theKe objections." writes Juduo Wordcn to the Uovernor. rexponding to his cal umniators. "Since, while they are unfair to us. he continues, "they reflect a bad light on conditions here, because they are untrue and emanate from a body of men who are nctinff solely from and' prompted by seltisli motives. In his letter he sets forth that sbout a year ago the County Court found that It had Inherited a poor farm with Inadequate, unsuitable and improper quarters, so that the court was com pelled to house county charges in some of the lodging-houses of the city. He says that the -farm was on arid, side lilll land, which Is non-productive and entirely linsulted to the purposes for which It was used. He then explains tha nature of his father's farm and tha reasons for Its purchase, declaring; that It contained many valuable features and that the old farm was valueless to everyone and that those who had tried to live there in the past had been starved out. He says that the court plans, on the new farm, to secure from the Agricul tural College one of the best men available to develop the farm: t dm onatrate to farmers in the community and to establish an agricultural course in the high school. Jndge F.xplalas Trip Cost. Judge Worden says that it is true that the County Court took a trip to Portland nnd charged the same to the expense of the county upon its return home, but asserts It was to attend the convention of County Judges and Com missioners, that the court investigated roads. Institutions and other features of Multnomah County government, that the court went for the benefit of tho county and not for Itself and as a re sult the Jucige believes that the charge was a perfectly legitimate one. Also ha says that ha believes the report In referem-e to the drug bills of $1000 probably Is true for the reason that before the new building was construct ed patients went to drug stores and had prescriptions filled, which ran Into a considerable amount of money. -The Commercial Club," continues the Judge, "also says thst the County Court has Issued and sold county war rants amounting to thousands of dol lars at a discount of S and 10 per cent. , . . We were unable to bond the county, as you know, and the farmers In the reclamation district below Kla math Falls are paying each year a tax of J.75 an acre. . . . We went to the general fund for the balance of our road building and now. since the Jackson County bonds have been de clared Illegal by the Supreme Court. I am glad we did." ClatWa Aliunde Criticised. Jude Wordcn takes a strong atti tude toward the Klamath Falls Com mercial Cluh, declaring that It was formed for the purpose of righting the County Court and dictating the loca tion of the new courthouse, for tiie benefit of a few property owners. Mentioning the proposed site out side of the city limits, he snys: "The Commercial Club was organised for purpose of fighting this courthouse site acceptance and has in its by-laws a courthouse committee. The County Judge and manager of the Klamath Development Company have been pro hibited from Joining. Its member ship is composed of about 30 people out of a population of practically 6000 and their chief mission Is to fight the County Court, so In order to accom plish their own ends they are willing to give the county a bad reputation abroad as to finances, to accuse this body of mal-administratlon and ex travagance and to do anything which will assist them to gain their selfish ends. "The records of Klamath County are open: we have done nothing that we re afraid of and would be pleased to have you look Into them ahould you desire to do so." says Judge Worden In conclusion.

Indicted on the criminal chartre of con spiracy after beina; murdered In cold blood by explosion of the bomb set by Harry Orchard, the famous self-confessed slayer, and his good name clouded. ex-Governor Frank Steunenberfr. of this state, deceased, has been fully exou- I era ted tn his dealinKS in connection with the rlaroer mmwr company s timber lands near this city, through the sweeplns recent decision of the I'nlted Slates Circuit Court of Appeals, which delivered an unexpected blow to the Government's legal proceedings airalnst this company and Its officers. Twice Ihe Government has lost In thla rase. It has one year In which to draft and file an appeal to the Supreme Court of the I'nlted States, and this action will b taken, according to re liable reports heard In Federal circles i here. The name of ex-Governor Steunen berg is brought into special prominence In the decision of Judge Gilbert of the Circuit Court, which holds that tha Barber Lumber Company, against whom action was taken by the- Government five years ago to take away 35,000 acres of timber land In the Botse basin near here. Is entitled to the timber and the Government cannot interfere. This Important decision clearly Shows the exploding of the law theory of the Gov ernment that title to timber entries cannot be secured by another or a cor poration through a prior agreement. Title to 10,000 acres of valuable tim ber lands along the Clearwater Kiver in Nes Perce County acquired by Wil liam F. Kettenbach and George H. Kel ler In the same mannef aa the land of the Barber Lumber Company for which Kester and Kettenbach were tried and acquitted, and which is now tied up through legal proceedings Instituted by the Government, will, under this de cision, pass to Kester and Kettenbach, who purchased it from the entrymen.
