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. The
grain, livestock, lumber and fruit
products raised In these districts
could be transported economically
from one to the other, thus benefit
ting all sections. 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.

furniture were turned topsy-turvy, j
Evidently they were frightened ;
away as they did not attempt to open f
the two manganese steel safes In the J
vault, which contained the money, j
The money taken was some old j
coins owned by Walter Simon which j
were left in the vault.
Discovery of the robbery was not
made until Monday morning when
Cashier Arthur Simon opened the
front door of the bank and saw tne
wreck. Near the large safe several
small bits of drill steel were found.
The robbers were old hands at the
business, from all Indications. They
bored the big Iron doors of the vault
in the exact spot to effect an en
trance.
H. L. Sinclair passed the bank
about midnight and noticed a man in
the building. Thinking It was the
janitor, he did not say anything about
it until the next morning, utners
heard the men working in the build
ing, but helievlng they were men con
nected with the bank, did not turn in
an alarm.
The burglars made their escape
through the back door and no clue
was left that would lead to their dis

tions may be made for the cost of
seed and fertilizer, the amount ex
pended for labor in caring for live
stock, cost of feed, repairs to farm
and other farm buildings, but not
the cost of repairs to the dwelling.
The cost of repairs to farm fences
and machinery Is deductible, as well
as the cost of small tools and ma
terial which is used up in the course
of a year or two, such as binding
twine, pitchforks, spades, etc.
The cost of machinery, such as

operation is a deductible item.
The value f farm products is not
considered taxable until 'reduced to
cash or its equivalent. If crops and
stocks were produced in 1916 and
sold in 1917 the amount received
therefor is to be included in the
farmer's tax return for the calendar
year 1917. Crops produced In 1917
and on hand December 31 need not
be considered. . Persons in doubt as
to any of the provisions of the Income-tax

act are advised by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue to see the revenue
officer who will visit their county to
assist taxpayers in making out their
returns, which must be filed on or
