Klamath Falls Is After State Road A petition has been circulated In vinmoth Valla riiii-Ine- the nfist week ninuiuvu tj i by Capt' O. Q. Applegate for the Klamath Commercial Club among the business districts of that city, in order to secure a road from the Rogue River valley and southern Oregon points east of the Cascades. One of the highways designated last year by the state highway com mission when the road bond was be ing promoted was a road from Ash land through Klamath Falls to Lake view, and the people In these districts are anxious to see some direct results from the increased taxation. A com mercial highway between the .two districts would be of Inestimable value to southern' Oregon.

A move Is also on foot In Klamath Falls to send a dele gation to confer with the highway commissioners some time In the near future. 3 Burglars Enter Montague Bank Burglars entered the Montague bank Sunday night and stole between $50 and $60 in old coins, a gold watch belonging to Arthur Simont a pearl-handled revolver and a rifle.
