JSjieoUl to ft. Journal - -Klamath
Falls. Or.. Jan. 8. An ' n
' ttrely new vhasa has Beveloped In the
. t court house controversy, long drawn out
In Klamath county. Almost two years
v ago the Klamath Development company
t made a tenner f a1 five-acre tract in
the middle of lta edition, the traot to be
given to the county absolutely ree If
a. court house to cost not less than
years. " County" juom vw .' woraen
made the acceptance of this site on of
the mam planks in his platform when
j -be was elected to office.. He has at
various times stated that he was
strongly lii favor of building- the cou
House jOn the Hot Springs site, but
any other suitable lt" was offer
y without expense to the county he would
be willing to- give, the proffered site
oonsIaemuonivJi-.v;:v'.',.
The Hot Springs site Is in the ex
v treme east end of the present city. - It
. has been strongly objected to for this
- - reason. '- .The present court house Is in
the center of the business district The
'.location Is objected to on the ground
- (that the place Is too noisy and that the
'ground In general way is not adapted
, to large building such as Is proposed
ror county purposes. . . ;. .
- wiutv t.bh A nffMi
Now comes a delegation of property
owners - and business men who make
the county-court a tender of an entire
block on the northerly side of Main
.street, two blocks west of the present
t courthouse. . The premises are tendered
, ' the county free of : cost. The site is
within the confines of old Unkvllle, the
- original county seat and .from which
the court house cannot be moved un
less a three-fifths majority of the tax
payers of the county at a regular elee
.tion vote In favor of removal. -
v The site offered has many good fea
tures.- It Is sufficiently - elevated - to
la close to the business center and yet
; . is removed from the noise of heavy
traffic.
There Is but one Objectionable fea
ture. The much mooted Ankeny canal
traverses a portion .of the block. The
donors of the site, however, propose to
remedy this. They have filed an agree
ment with the court to lay a pipe line
through the premises and to equip the
' ' pipe with sufficient taps to Irrigate the
i entire grounds. They also agree to give
the county free a perpetual, water right
: from the Ankeny canal. , .

- cepted by the court. Is to be paid for

i of what is called the uptown business

proposed that this be : reserved . as a

It cannot -be ascertained what action
the court proposes to i take, "Judge

are progressing In aviation despite the
poor financial encouragement given by
the government , Last week aeroplane
manufacturers and army aviators met
In conference at the'Royal United Eer
vice institute, and great results are ex
pected from this meeting. Toung offi
cers -at Aldershot and elsewhere are
constantly setting "special leave to
fly" at one or other of the army avla
tlon" schools.
Colonel Cody, who is now a British
subject and prefers to be called Mr. S.
F. Cody, saw his own machine flown
for the first time last week. The
pilot was a clever young naval officer,
Lieutenant Wilfrid Parke. Mr. Cody
was the first aviator In this country
to obtain the new "Special Certificate'
riven by the Royal Aero club. A few
days ago he took up, not only his son,
but another passenger, in a Hundred
mile cross country test. A very keen
military aviator is Captain John Fulton
of the Royal Field artillery, who has
also received the "Special Certificate.1
Three naval officers and two marines
are, now officially at work at Sheer-
ness experimenting with a new biplane
fitted with floats. The experiments,
which have been a great success, have
brought several German "tourists" to
