TO AID mm ROAD, SAYS LEE klamath Falls Business Man Declares City Ought to Put $1,000,000 Into Railroad Before Spring. Some Time Ago There Was Talk of SuDDort. but of S Late Nothing Is Heard About It, Is Assertion. "Portland ought to put $1,000,000 Into the Strahorn railroad." declares Will T. I.e, Klamath Falls business man. who was Klamath county's representative at the land show. "If Portland falls to make a suitable Investment In the Strahorn railroad we of Klamath county will have no alter native but to assume that Portland does not want the business of Klamath county. "Last year the freight and passenger receipts of the Southern Pacific depot at Klamath Falls aggregated $1,000,000. I cannot say what was the value of the commodities handled. "Ninety-five per cent of the Klamath ' county's business goes now to Califor nia. Portland gets less than 5 per cent. "The freight rate to Portland Is $1.7$ ; to San Francisco, $1.63. "If we want to come from Klamath county to Portland, we must make a tedious detour through California, j '"The successful building and operation of the Strahorn railroad would end all this. It would put us In position to turn our business toward Portland. We would like to do It. We would also like to have evidence that Portland wants us to. "That Is why I say Portland ought to put $1,000,000 Into the Strahorn rail road, ought to do It by spring and with out batting an eye. "It wouldn't be a gift to charity, but one of the soundest business Investments ever made by this city. "Some time ago there was a lot of talk in Portland about supporting the Strahorn railroad. We hear It no longer. Portland is silent. Why? - "I attended the great stock show at North Portland. It reminded me that only the other day we shipped from Klamath county a whole tralnload of 88 cars of beef animals, not to Portland bat to Kansas City via Ro Seville. The tralnload and many others would have been shipped to Portland had we the direct railroad connections. We manu facture great quantities of box shocks. All shipments of this commodity go south Into 'California. We maintain that we. ought to sell box shocks to Oregon fruit packers as well as to California, and that a proltable business could be established it we had the. railroad con nection. "We buy our provisions from Califor nia. We would rather buy at Portland, If we had direct railroad connections. "Isn't the opportunity worth Port land's most substantial support? "Or would Portland rather make us feel that but for an imaginary line, Klamath county is really a part of California?" Pioneer of Nehalem Valley Passes Away Nehalem, Or.. Nov. 26.

CAMP LEWIS ARMY IS !T Professor Coleman Sees Lieu tenant Entertaining Sol diers Gathered About Piano Prof. Norman F. Coleman, director of education at Reed college, finds that the "democratization" of the army Is making progress at the American" Lake cantonment. 'A group of soldiers were gathered about a piano ; none of them could play," he related In an address before the Oregon Civic league at the Mult nomah hotel Saturday afternoon. "A lieutenant came in, sat down to the piano and played while the soldiers sang. Once that: would have been frowned down In the army as breaking the bars of discipline. "Now you will hear soldiers speaking about an officer as being 'white' and the 'right kind of a fellow.' Among those whom I have particularly heard the men speak of In that way is Cap tain Jacob Kanzjer of Portland. They say of him that be is always ready to listen to their troubles and to help. "Whenever General Greene speaks to an audience of soldiers he addresses them as 'Comrades of the Ninety-first Division.' " Professor Coleman described the way In which a soldier becomes a number and loses sense of his individual Im portance as he puts off his civilian garb and life and dons the olive drab and accustoms himself to army disci pline. In some, ways the process Is necessary ; In other ways the tendency Is for a man to lower his standards. To maintain for him the points of con tact that make him remember his Im portance to some one and the value that Is placed on high standards of living, the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross are doing a work that Is signally stamped with efficiency, said Professor Coleman. Scores Pay Tribute To Kobert Phillips Funeral Service Over Body of Chief Field Deputy Sheriff Is Held In White Temple, Rev. A. Rot Kltt Officiating, j Scores of people representing city and 1 county departments, lodgemen and per- t sonal friends, today paid their last trib ute to the memory of Robert Phillips, I chief field deputy sheriff, who was shot and killed Wednesday night by Elwyn Hayes,, an escaped maniac.

Portland Shipyards - Will Be Inspected State Labor Commissioner Has in Tiew Better Protection From Aecldest for Employe by Improving Scaffolding. Salem, Or, Nov. 26. Home from a trip of inspection to the shipbuilding yards on Coos Bay. O. P. Hoff. state labor commissioner, announced that he will go to Portland soon and take up with the shipbuilders the matter of taking additional precautions., for the protection 'of their workmen from acci dent - Many accidents . have occurred by men falling from scaffoldings on the aides of the ship hulls, and Mr. Hoff arranged with the Coos Bay -shipbuilders to use a cable for a railing and 'to keep the scaffolding free . of loose ob jects. - He will make the -same sugges tions to the shipbuilders in Portland. I. don't wish to- hamper the work, said Commissioner Hoff , "but I want to enforce the law providing for th pro taction of tha workers.' , , . MAKING PROGRESS DEMOCRATIC NO CITY IS PLANNING TO HAVE ITS PAV NG DONE CHEAPER THAN NOW Municipality Now Has Bids Be fore It for Paving Plants; Bar bur Is Investigating; MUCH WORK IS TO BE DONE Several Hundred Miles of Streets Are In Seed of Repair; Terwllllger Boulevard Mast Be Besnrfaced. Before many weeks have passed the city will be in the paving business for itself or having pavement laid cheaper than ever before in its history. Bida oh paving plants are now before tha city council and are being investigated by A. L. Barbur, commissioner of pub lic works. . Several hundred miles of streets are in need of repair and it is believed that the city can do the work more cheaply than contracting it to private concerns. On account of the recent agitation for a city owned plant, paving concerns are offering to do repair work for 85 cents a square yard. It is contended, however, that the city can do the work even more cheaply than this. Just what the inside figure is will not be divulged by the city's en gineers until the council definitely de cides on a course of action. If the city goes into the paving repair work one of the largest single pieces of work undertaken will be the resur facing of Terwllllger boulevard. This must be done next year in accordance with an agreement with donors of the boulevard property. Five bids are how being investigated. R. J. Lenden proposes to install a plant for $3150 and an alternate proposal for a larger plant for S3450. Other bids are : Giebisch & Joplin, $7000 for a second hand plant ; Hodson-Feenaughty com pany, $7950, and an alternate proposal or ao ; Jtiarvard-Cooper company, $9100 ; Koerning . Machine company, $8600. Money for the plant, should the city decide to go Into the paving business, will come from appropriations for the present year and not from the budget for 1918. TENTATIVE COONTY IS TO BE Amount Called for, Exclusive 6? Road Construction and Main tenance, Is $1,301,098. . The tentative county budget for 1818 1 to be submitted by the board of com missioners to the advisory budget com mittee tonight, calls for a tax levy of I $1,301,098.27 for all purposes except road construction and maintenance. The amount to be allotted to roads is still "In the air," but In view of conditions it is the sentiment to keep it down to the lowest notch practicable. It has been practically decided, however, to have no separate road fund as'formerly. All will be placed In the general fund. The abolition of the road fund is made necessary by a law passed by the last legislature, which makes all incorpo rated cities and towns separate road districts and requires that 70 per cent of the money raised In each district be expended therein. If the law were literally observed nearly all the road fund would have to be expended inside the limits of Portland. By placing the money in the general fund, the? commis sioners can divert It wherever it is deemed advisable. In preparing the tentative budget, the commissioners have cut ' out 375,400 of Second Day BUDGET SOBMTTED TONIGHT I - . .

One of the recommendations made by the national board of fire underwriters which recently gave out a report con cerning conditions in Portland, Is that all water services be metered that the water supply may be under control at all times. The board recommends that all service connections be metered within five years. The city council while recognizing the need of meters has allowed only 33000 for meters during the ensuing year. The meters purchased will be in stalled on services where water is wasted and on a few of the services where property owners have petitioned for the instruments. The underwriters say : "A sufficient number of meters should be installed each year, so that all service connec tions will be so equipped in five years." Another suggestion made by the un derwriters is that the storage supply of water on the west side be increased by 60,000,000 to 100,000.000. The city coun cil more than two years ago recognized ; the need of additional storage supply but it was not until this year that the council authorised the construction of more reservoirs. In the budget of the water bureau for 1918, the council has allowed an esti mate of 360,000, which will be used for the purchase of a tract of land on the foothills in the vicinity of the present west side reservoirs and on this land a large storage basin will be erected. . the total amount asked for by the vari ous departments, which was $1,376,499. Compared with the 1917 budget, the tentative budget for 1918, to be submit ted to the advisory budget committee, shows an increase for administrative purposes of $23,726. Cattle Stealing Charged Jess Fisher of Klamath Falls was brought to trial this morning In th federal court on the charge of stealing $50 worth of cattle from the Klamath Indian reservation. The case is being heard by Judge Wolverton. Merit NATIONA BOARD UNDERWRITERS FAVORS WATER METERS cJ Merchandise cfcJ of Our Great SALE of PRICE . Third Floor, Lipman, Wolfe & Co.
