KLAMATH JUDGE

Actions of County Court Are
Declared to Have Been
Justified.
COMMERCIAL CLUB SCORED
William M. 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.

the sweeplns recent decision of the

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

SEATTLE. .Wash.. March 4. (Spe

ect at Wahluke, in Grant County, of
this state, floated and bankrupted by
W. E. DeUrm, Allen J. Biehl and their
associates, now under Indictment In
Portland, were taken this afternoon at
the first meet in ft of the creditors and
bondholders in the I'nlted States Dis
trict Court, before Judge John P. Hoyt,
referee.
Claims asRTeKaUr.fr several million
dollars, which had been sunk in the
project, were represented either by
Louis P. fciichler, temporary receiver,
or by the individual bondholders who
crowded into the courtroom.
In addition to the Seattle Inventor",
representatives were present from
Portland. Vancouver, B. C.. Tacoma.
Spokane and other points. .
Sentiments of the creditors who
were most heavily interested were
stronfcly in favor of retaining the tem
porary receiver as permanent trustee,
because of his early work as well as
his intimate knowledge of the details
of DeLarm and Blehl's manipulations.
Because many of the claims were not
in legal form, the meeting was ad
journed until Friday.
No word was received in Seattle to
day by either the Federal authorities
or local persons of any Indictments re
turned Saturday by the Portland grand
jury, and suspense still continues.

"Why do they keep so fresh and
pure?"
That's what puzzles some people
about Campbell's Soups.
Because they are made so fresh and
pure. That is the answer.
Not only is every material of the
choicest quality but it is used in fresh
and perfect condition. Everything-;
that touches the soup or comes near it
is of spotless cleanliness and purity.
And it is sterilized by heat alone and
after sealing.
Is it any wonder these per
fect soups come to your table
as fresh as a June morning?
