KLAMATH FALLS, Or., August 20.
tiovornor Oeorge E. Chamberlain, J.
P. O'HritMi, manager of tho Harrimaii
lines in the northwest, and F. S. Stan
ley, fie.' ret 11 ry-treasurer of tho Deschutes
Irrigation company, arrived in tho city
Tuesday from Pelican Bay, where they
are tho guests of E. II. Harriman for a
few days. Tho party was met at the
Upper lake by a delegation from the
chamber of commerce und the distin
guished v isitors were escort ed to t he
Lake.tido run, where n dinner was serv
ed in honor of tho governor and Ihh
friends ' at which about 50 of tho rep
resentative citizens of this city were
present. Following the dinner the gov
ernor was escorted to the courthouse
park, where ho addrossed the lnrge
crowd that had gathered.
In speaking of the road to Crater
Lake the governor said:
Favors State Appropriation.
"T will tell you a state secret and
one that will be of direct interest to
you. But a few days ago a number
of gentlemen visited me in Salem for
the purpose of discussing ways and
means of bringing this county to the
attention of the peoplo of the country,
and as a result of this conference I
will, in a couple of days, announce the
appointment of a commission that will
have for its object tho devising of
means for the construction of an auto
mobile road from a point on this side
of tho mountain to Crater Lake, around
that magnificent body of water and
on down to a point to connect with the
Southern Pacific railroad on the east
ern side of the mountain. If the state
constitution will admit of it T will be
in favor of a state appropriation or the
levying of a tax for the purpose of
constructing this highway and I be
lieve that this county and the one to
the west of you will bo willing to levy
a tax to aid in the same work. To
show you that I am going to be impar
tial in the appointment of this com
mission, I will tell you now that I am
going to place thereon some of the cit
izens of your county.
Harriman 's Promise.
"You people, can hardly appreciate
the amount of good that the visit of
Mr. Harriman will do to this country.
When you remember his wealth and
position and the fact that he has se
lected this county as the spot for his
summer recreation it will readily be
seen that it will result in the coming
of thousands of people to this section.
Mr. Harriman promised me that he
would use his influence to induce his
friends and acquaintances to visit this
county, as he was delighted with his
trip here and particularly the hospital
ity shown him by the people of this
city ami county, tho magnificent cli
mate und wonderful scenery. The fact
that his 12-year-old boy, within less
than a week after his arrival here, nn
aided, killed a '.iOO -pound bear will do
much to bring to the attention of the
people of the east what you have to
offer. Here was Koosevelt spending
weeds in the canebrakes of Louisiana,
with a retinue of helpers boating the
brush for bear and returning empty
handed, while this 12 year-old boy can
come out here and within a short dis
tance of Pelican Rny bring down a
3on.pmimlcr."

the majority against it was made up of

the audience accused La Follette of
being a democrat, but denied it

ANOTHER FRANCHISE
ASKED FOR IN ALBANY
ALBANY, Or., August 20. A
franchise for a street railway system
has been asked in Albany. Messrs
Rhodes, Richie nnd McDonald, alt of
Albany, are at tho head of the move
ment. The franchise calls for practi
cally tho same streets as covered by
the Welch franchise granted some time
ago, but as this company seems disin
clined to commonce work, the franchise
wil probobly be revoked.
Mr. Rhodes said that beside taking
in the fair grounds, they would also
establish a city park along the line.
The action of the Welch people has
been considered unsatisfactory. Work
was to have commenced months ago,
but no construction was done at all. In
order to hold the franchise ties and
rails were dumped along t lie st reets,
but, being a menace, have been ordered
removed.
