Increase Shown in all Dis
tricts. High School In
crease is Largest
That Jackson county’s public
schools have more than kept
pace with the growth tn county
population, Is shown by figures
compiled by Susanne Homes Car
ter, county school superintendent.
The school census for 1920
showed 5594 pupils in county
schools. In the year 1924-1925,
there were 7,963.
The census
for 1925-1926 w ill show even
more of an increase, It
is
thought.
Grade schools showed a jump
In the five year period of from
4052 to 4653 pupils.
This is
an Increase of about 12 per cent.
In the high schools of the
county, an even greater increase
was noted.
The 1920 figures
showed 863 high school pupils,
while those for 1924 showed
1265, an increase of about 60

An item of interest to all

the subject of sugar beet raising

I t Is perhaps not generally
known that experimental crops
of generous site were plantod
in Klamath and 81skiyou coun
ties the past Jrear for tq« purpose
of determining definitely whether
or not sugar beets could be suc
cessfully grown in this terri
tory. Now that the CTope have
been harvested and sent to the
sugar factory there remains no
doubt as to the success of this
new , ventuure.
The outcome
of this extensive experimeat is
of much importance ts all of
Southern Oregon for should a

Another Interesting item is
the projection of a new road

rim of the lake on a maximum
grade of 4 1-2 per cent to re-
place the present 10.9 per cent
grade.
Surveys completed by
park engineers have been tento-

that work w ill be undertaken

at the rim 200 yards west of the
