The secretary of the Interior
announces the opening to home-
eieud entry of 9681 acres of public
land in the Klamath irrigation
project, Oregon-California. The
lund is divided into 174 farm units'
and will be opened on October 27
1922, by a drawing at 2 o'clock

and slit.
The elevation Is about 4000 feet
above sea level, the temperature
varying from 15 degrees below to
100 degrees above lero. The win

traffic law violator," Judge
Race declared this morning.
"The penalties must be made more
severe.
"Feople say that 'accidents will
happen.' Webster says that an ac

which is unforeseen. Is a possible

when a car is operated without
proper brakes or when one drives
at a speed not consistent with
safety?''
