KLAMATH FOR
DRAIER ROAD
Chamber of Commerce In
vites SgoU to County to
flolMooa Roads Meeting
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Oct. fi
The chamber of commerce at n ri;t?oiit
meeting unanimously passed a resolu
tion, instructing the seoretury to issue
an invitatiou to Judge John U. Scott,
prasideut of the Oregon good roads
commission, to visit Klamath Falls for
the , purpose of holding a good roads
convention here. No time was set for
the convention, but the date will be ar
ranged to moot the convenience of
Judge Scott, who has engagements in
other parts of the state. It has been
said that Oregon has gone good roads
mad, but it simply means that the farm
era and rural residents have united and
are demanding the same rights aud eon
veniences which have long been inono
olized by the people of the cities.
Grater Lake Road.
The matter of the construction of the
Crater lako road was taken up and met
with the hearty approval of the mem
bers. The building of this road is eon
sidered to be t he enteri ng wedge o t
the work to be Inaugurated in Oregon.
Jackson county has promised to con
tribute $50,000 and the assistnnco of
the state has been promised, and now
Klamath county is expected to give an
am out equal to Jackson.
.Will U. Steel, who has been talk
ing Crater lake for the past years,
was present and gave a very interest
-ing discission on the advantages of the
road. Mr. Steel has always been an en
thusiast on Klamath 's great wonder,
and it was -through his efforts tli:tt
Governor Chamberlain was induced to
visit tho lako this summer and t here
by become a convert, and is now using
his vast influence in encouraging t In
building of this road.
Taxes Needed.
Qeorgo T. Baldwin, viee-presideint oi
the Crater lake road commission, also
spoke in behalf of a good mails eon
vention which would tend to interest
the poop'o of this county in doing their
share toward the building of the road.
Judge En M win Mated that the amount
eould be raised ivH hout hardly being
felt by t!o taxpayers. A special road
tax of 3!! mills for two years would
be sufficient to raise the required
amount. The low allows a ten mi!!
tax and n five mill tax would bo enough
for the Crater lako road and the pros
out work on the county roads. Me
dwelt on the small amount that Khun
ath county would hnve to put up to
secure a total expenditure of h:ill" :i
million dollars in this section. Fully
o'je Volf of this total amount would In
p?nt within the borders of Klamath
enunty, and would go into the poeketsj
of the fnrmers and working men.
TOURIST 'TRAVEL TO
CRATER LAKE AT AN END
KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Oct. r. -Will
G. Steel, O. V. Woodbury, .lames
Mongol d and Clyde Huffman hnve !('
this city for Crater lake. The tmirist
season ftt the lake is praetieally over,
as there is already some snow there,
and it is getting too cold for travel.
Engineer Huffman and Mr. Mongidd
will take, the launches off the lake and
store them away for the winter. The
camps will be packed up and move. I
and Steel's Crater Lake hotel will be
no more until next year. There has been
an immense travel tn the lake this year.
NEW LUMBER RATES OUT

Copies of the new lumber tariff will
bo received by the freight department
in Portland of the Harriman lines tin
latter part of this week, showing the
new rates on lumber that have been pre
".pared by the general freight depart
ment in accordance with t he decision
of the interstate commerce commission
in the lumber rate cases.
The new cast and west bound trnn
continental tariffs will lie ready for dis
tribution by the railroads in 15 days.
NEVADA PEAR GROWERS
CLEAR 30 CENTS ON FRUIT
ORASS VALLEY,, Cnl.. Oct. .. TVs
.pit the glut of the eastern fruit mar
ket, growers in this section will prac
tically nil end the season with a profit.
When the first shipments were made
from this county it was feared that the
ronsigners would tmffer a heavy lost,
but such has not proved to be the case.
While the profits will not be anything
likfl last year's, they will range from
30 to 40 cents clear per box on Itartb-tt
pflrs, tho chief fruit crop of the county.

the pipe can be unloaded from the cars
along ihe right of way within a few
tt-et of where it will be laid. The coun
try traversed is practically level aud
iree t'rom bedrock.
(c) Our pipeline will bo from six to
eight i iii lies larger than the gravity
line and will carry more water, which
simuld be considered in comparing cost.
(d) The submission of both phms to
a eontnu t would demonstrate which
is t he cheaper plan.
Fifth If a gravity system is adopt
ed and operated by the city, then the
operating expenses aud bond interest
and sinking fund must be paid from
the revenue or the rates raised by the
city council.
Sixth ! f our proposition is accept
ed and the water system operated by
us. theu the operating expenses, bond
interest and sinking fund must be paid
i rom the revenue or the rates raised
sufficient ly by t lie city council.
Seventh Our profits from pumping,
if any, tho only diffeivnro between the
two plans, we idaim must be made by
good mimical management, which
with our cheap power facilities and
to the fact that we are already operat
ing the electric light system, we claim
hint we can give.
Compare the revenue and free lights
the city is now getting under our man
agement of the electric light plant, with
t he loss and poor service under city
management.
Kighth If the city becomes L'5.000
population, theu it will grow larger and
water then would have to be obtained
from h'ogiie river. Why not start right
aud get wattr from Rugae river now f
Ninth Hir pipeline would traverse
the center and richt st portion of the
Rogue River valley, and the irrigation
afforded would make a garden spot of
it and would mean 1 he subdivision of
the farms and a large increase in popu
lation and a Creator Med ford.
Tenth If both systems cost the same,
n nut h- r question arises even then.
Which management would be safest,
best and mint economical, judging from
the past .'
Respect fully submitted.
