Club of Klamath Falls. The Klamath Falls Chamber of Com merce has reorganised with an entirely nf set of officers, but with the ad, Yance assurance that the old officers wilt work in the ranks with the s'ame Intense encrrr that they have displayed i when In chare. : . The people of Klamath are deter mined, to make a substantial ahowtns; or tM resources or tnat county at the Ban Francisco exposition.. The live . stock people are doing well throughout that whole section. The town itself !' looks clean, active, well painted and ' prosperous, and there Is no disposition ! to be discouraged. Dr. K. D. Johnson, recently a real- ; dent of Portland, was elected president. and at a special meeting of the officers I all were present.: All of the meetings new mere were generously attended, and there was a good deal of confl- f dene ' expressed as to the ; future. Judge Lionel R. Webster made splen did (peaches at two Important meet lngs. :. i Veople Teel CHratefal. ' X had several hours' stop at Ashland, and that cleanly, r well ordered city seems to have. felt little of the stress of Slower times. The sentiment toward Portland is extremely favorable, and there Is a genuine appreciation over the; fact that Multnomah county gave them a majority for the normal; and, as this subject was being discussed down there, I have looked the matter up since returning, and find that the vote was: For, 31. lot; against. 30,501. Within the city limits the affirmative vote was larger in proportion. At both Ashland and Med ford there is an active effort assuring a splendid representation of the products of that county at Ban Francisco. The five counties of Klamath. Jackson, Jose phine, Lake and Douglas will unite In a joint exhibit similar to lhat of the Willamette valley, and everywhere you ! hear compliments to the Oregon com missioners for the liberality and apo dal fairness with which they ' are treating that portion of the state. i Xtlvestook Industry. , I,at Monday a week kgo Portland received 10.080 head of livestock. It waa the record in, the history of the Stock yards and . attracted a great deal or attention, bringing up a great deal of discussion as regards the shipments from Klamath Falls to Ban Francisco and Portland. San Francisco gets the bulk of the livestock raised in Klam ath county, but quite a good deal of livestock comes to Portland from Cali- ' !

The Scottish Rite Masons at their cathedral, Lownsdale and J Morrison streets, last night gave a banquet In honor of the class of 28 brothers who at the semi-annual ' reunion held in this city during Thursday, Friday and Saturday had taken '29 of these higher degrees of Masonry. M. C. George t 1 1 . ; delivered the address of welcome upon the completion of the thirty-second de gree work, which was responded to by Andy Fits, orator of the class. Many of the most prominent , members ' of the A. & A. 8. B. were present and made ' brief speeches along fraternal and Masonic' lines. The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons date from .1801. when the Southern Council, I the organization is growing steadily. Mother Council of the World, .was es The next grade above that of thirty- tablished In this country on authority granted under the constitution pro mulgated In Bordeaux, .France, in 1762, and by Frederick the Great from Berlin in 1786. There are over 200, 000 members In the United States and second degree is that of knight com mander of the court of honor, and then the final thirty-third degree. The last two honors are never petitioned for and are only granted for distin guished service. The governing body of the A & A S. R. is composed of 33 thirty-third degree Masons, to which admittance is, gained only when vacancies in this body of 33 are made by death. i The honorary degree of thirty-third iar given to a larger number from which the final governing council is drawn. fornia, and a great deal from Jackson and Josephine county. At no time since I have lived in Ore gon, except upon fete occasions, have X seen so many people, teams and stir as there was on the streets of Medford Saturday. Between Medford and Ash land they are running automobile service at 25 and 6 cents. In Med ford there Is a regular system of fares on a basis of Sc to all parts of the city where they have paved streets. There seems to be a universal opin ion that times are gradually getting better, and a great many deals of im portance have beeen consummated throughout Klamath county and the Rogue river valley during the fall and winter. to cxras a cold rer one sat ; Take LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets.

There were heavy rains, , hail and wind. Telegraph and telephone wires -were blown down. Funds for Xebanon library. Lebanon, Or., Jan. 18.

Japanese Express Regret Over War Card Sent by Postal Authorities Car ries a Bjorfter of Konmlag; Text Printed In English. . That Japanese postal authorities are fakine official recognition of the sor row and suffering caused by the great war in which their own country is par ticipating, is Indicated by a card wun a deep black border received oy -oat-master Myers this morning. Tho'nard bears a gilt Japanese env Mr t tho too. with "19 14" and 1915" nrinted at either side. The text, printed in English script, is as follows: "Tiio TuiKtmjuiter and Staff or tne postoffice at Yokohama, Japan, send their Christmas and New Tear greet ings to their colleagues at Portland." That is all. There is no word of mourning, the black border being left to carry its own significance. Linn Gets Share. Albany, Or., Jan. 16. Linn comity yesterday received $1607.88 from the state treasurer as its share of the automobile license money collected by the state during the year 1914. The amount - this county received for 1913 waa $1052.73. 1 "Business is good." said R. K. Mil-1 ler, president and general manager of the Owl Drug company, and an active director of the San Francisco Cham ber of Commerce, who was in Port land yesterday. "If I am to Judge business condi tions In Portland by the business done by the Owl Drug store, the ity is In fine shape," continued Mr. Miller. "Since I left San Francisco I have also been in Seattle, Tacoma and Spo kane and the' outlook in all these towns is most 'promising. No city appears to be in sounder condition than Portland. "Portland's greatest detriment 1s a bunch of calamity howlers. If I see one of them coming I walk across the street to avoid meeting him. They haven't any business apparently for a real business man has too much to do to howl calamity or-thlnk it or listen to calamity howlers. Influence xs Depressing. "Some newspapers here create a de pressing Influence. . They seem to take pleasure in printing things from which one might infer the country is going to the dogs, when, really, business Is going to advance right along. If a merchant In Portland doesn't do max imum business for a 'few weeks or months. It is no sign j conditions won't be restored to a prosperous normal, but I hear the landlords blamed. They say high rents do it. If the rents are high the merchant, not the land lord. Is responsible. It s business that makes rents high. I made- the rents high on this section f Wash ington, street by opening up on Broad way and Washington a 'drug store of which any city might be proud. Pre viously the corner had been occupied by a cigar stand with a ' laundry agency and a pool room In the base ment, and it was a dead corner, I was told the business would starve to death, but the result was that the busi ness of the whole street improved.. "It would be a great deal better If the critics and the calamity howlers were decently buried, after a suitable celebration. ""Oregon is approaching the time when the state's highways will be builtcl a state tax and not by piece meal as at present. California has been spending $18,000,000 for roads and has about 2000 miles under con tract at the present time. Roads make a state. What would California mean to tourists ' without roads? s;It : would be a splendid thing for the country round about it you had an automobile road from here to Oregon City, going down one side of the river ; and re turning on the other. Your Colum bia highway will constitute a great asset. ' "The expositions In Cal!forniat San Francisco and San Diego are going to attract a very heavy tourist travel, including thousands of "auto mobilists, many of whom will come through Oregon if the roads are right, "Portland doesn't need to spend any more money on good streets and fine buildings. They are good enough. Let the city " spend Its money developing the state, and let everybody- pull to gether if you would -see Oregon go ahead.! Rosehurg Commercial Club. -' KoseDurg, or- Jan. 16. At the an nual election of the Hoseburg Com merclal club results were as follows: Harry Pearce, president; A. J.. LU burn, vice president; Sam Josephson, secretary; John. Throne, treasurer; B. W. Bates. Carl D. Shoemaker and Bert Sutherland, directors. One of the important matters dis cussed by the members of the club was the project of building a wagon road from Roseburg almost due east to Crater Lake. The distance to - the lake over this proposed road would" be about 80 miles, and would traverse some very scenic country. About half this distance would be through:-national forest reserve and IV is hoped to secure aid from the government in building that portion of the high way. - The members of the club' were -unanimous In their opinion that the road should be built, and a- committee con sisting of S. C. Bartrum, 8. D. Evans and Dr. K. B. Stewart was appointed to ascertain the probable cost of such a road and to obtain data as to the roost feasible route for the proposed road. -,, A resolution was adopted asking the federal government to make an appropriation for the improvement of the Lincoln trail, which connects the Yellowstone National park with the Pacific highway near Seattle. Crawford Denies Charge. Salem, Or., Jan. 1ft. Former Attor ney General Crawford today denied that he had advised the Oregon Mining & Potash association that It did not need a bond of $10,000 with its bid for the lease of the state's lakes. Further more, the former attorney general de clared that the board acted under his advice in awarding the contract to Ja son Moore & Co.. and, the bill providing for a ratification of the contract wsr prepared by him. It is asserted that Attorney Mclhturff of Salem, has been the association's attorney, and the claim that it had no legal advice is not well founded. It is an easy matterto keep a strangle hold on your temper it you know that it will cost you your Job to i turn It loose.
