TKLLS HOLTE. "Only a real driver with a real car, which be knows thoroughly, should attempt the trip to Klamath Falls at present," says S. Endejrs, who made the first trip ot the season through with O. A. Johnson to the southern Oregon city. At places In tho Klamath marsh' the car went down to tho hub In mud! and there Is danger of sliding the car too far to one side and losing it In tho bog, Endcrs explained. So long as tho car can keep In motion, all Is' well, but once the wheels slip It' Is "all oft," ho stated. Only ono car other than the stajjb, so far as is known, has made the trip through to Klamath this spring. Tho stage met one car, driven by a Bend man, Sunday, at Kirk. Many haro attempted tho trip. The road Is dry ing, says Enders, and will soon be more easily traveled. The stage does not go to Silver Lake, keeping straight ahead wbero the road turns to the right three miles from that town. Tho road taken by the stage leads to Antelope flat, crosses the flat and the divide Into the big Klamath marsh at tho head of Williamson river. This road is plainly marked by signs, says En ders. On reaching Williamson river tho road turns to tho left, crosses th'o brldgo and continues down the marsh through Kirk, Chiloqutn and into Klamath Falls.

T PETITION ASKS REFERENDUMOF GILSON PERMIT STATE ELECTION DATE NAMED FOLEY TELLS STAND Manager of II. W. L. & P. Co. Ak For Home Square Deal That Com psny Ifn Always Given People Mayor's Motives Questioned. Petitions asking that tho OIIsob. waterworks franchise ordinance b referred to the people at the time ot the special state election, June 1, were started In circulation Monday morning by T. II. Foley, general manager ot the Bend Water, Light tt Power Co. Mr. Foley expected no difficulty In securing sufficient sig natures to insure a popular rote be ing taken on the question. "I am asking for this roto ot the people because I think they will giro us tho same square deal that we hare always tried to giro them," Mr. Foley said when Interviewed regarding the petition. He added that Jnns 7 has been requested as the date of tho election in order to mini mize the expense to tho city, the leg islature having made an election at that tlmo compulsory. Prejudice Blamed. "It Is easy to understand why Mr. Ollson should want a franchise," Mr. Foley continued, "but It Is hard to understand how tho mayor can square tt with his conscience. I can not believe that tho people ot Bend will J)e a .party to any such transac tion." "Knowing some of the councllmen as I do, I think their attltudo can be attributed to blind prejudice against corporations," Mr. Foley said In re gard to the recent passage of the franchise ordinance. "It outside in vestors should become convinced that the attitude of the council reflects the attltudo ot the people, It will be come Imposslblo to Interest outside capital to invest here. "We are not asking for any spe cial favora we ask only fair play. If there is anything seriously wrong with our service, there is a legitimate way to get it corrected."
