This Is a trifle over 109 per cent of tho quota asked of the county, and coming at a time of tho year when tho roads In many parts of th'e county woro almost Impassible, tbf results aro believed unexpectedly good. Klamath County has a population of about 12,000 people, Including the Indians on the reservation. This pop. illation Is scattered over an area Ave times as large as the state o Rhode Ibland. Tho returns show that el most every adult man and woman In the county must havo taken out mem. bershlps, and when It Is realised that this work was carried on by a com paratlvoly small group, the tremen dou. effort made can bo appreciated. In fonm of the country districts those who had cars were obliged to abandon them, owing to road condi tions, and contluuo their work on I'lOBcback. Every one, however, stayed with the task cheerfully, evl denclng a spirit of patriotism that was good to so. Of the total 3,842 memberships taken, 3,243 were secured In Klamath Falls, and 1,599 In the country dls trlcts. The total amount received was $4,061.64.
