KLAMATH TRIP

CITY SOUTH OF IlKN'I) FAIL
FASHKXGKIl ON FIItST STACK
Till!' TKLLS HOLTE.
"Only a real driver with a real
car, which be knows thoroughly,
should attempt the trip to Klamath
Falls at present," says S. Endejrs,
who made the first trip ot the season
through with O. A. Johnson to the
southern Oregon city.
At places In tho Klamath marsh'
the car went down to tho hub In mud!
and there Is danger of sliding the car
too far to one side and losing it In
tho bog, Endcrs explained. So long
as tho car can keep In motion, all Is'
well, but once the wheels slip It' Is
"all oft," ho stated.
Only ono car other than the stajjb,
so far as is known, has made the trip
through to Klamath this spring. Tho
stage met one car, driven by a Bend
man, Sunday, at Kirk. Many haro
attempted tho trip. The road Is dry
ing, says Enders, and will soon be
more easily traveled.
The stage does not go to Silver
Lake, keeping straight ahead wbero
the road turns to the right three
miles from that town. Tho road
taken by the stage leads to Antelope
flat, crosses the flat and the divide
Into the big Klamath marsh at tho
head of Williamson river. This road
is plainly marked by signs, says En
ders. On reaching Williamson river
tho road turns to tho left, crosses th'o
brldgo and continues down the marsh
through Kirk, Chiloqutn and into
Klamath Falls.

Manager of II. W. L. & P. Co. Ak
For Home Square Deal That Com
psny Ifn Always Given People
Mayor's Motives Questioned.
Petitions asking that tho OIIsob.
waterworks franchise ordinance b
referred to the people at the time ot
the special state election, June 1,
were started In circulation Monday
morning by T. II. Foley, general
manager ot the Bend Water, Light
tt Power Co. Mr. Foley expected no
difficulty In securing sufficient sig
natures to insure a popular rote be
ing taken on the question.
"I am asking for this roto ot the
people because I think they will giro
us tho same square deal that we hare
always tried to giro them," Mr. Foley
said when Interviewed regarding
the petition. He added that Jnns
7 has been requested as the date
of tho election in order to mini
mize the expense to tho city, the leg
islature having made an election at
that tlmo compulsory.
Prejudice Blamed.
"It Is easy to understand why Mr.
Ollson should want a franchise," Mr.
Foley continued, "but It Is hard to
understand how tho mayor can
square tt with his conscience. I can
not believe that tho people ot Bend
will J)e a .party to any such transac
tion." "Knowing some of the councllmen
as I do, I think their attltudo can be
attributed to blind prejudice against
corporations," Mr. Foley said In re
gard to the recent passage of the
franchise ordinance. "It outside in
vestors should become convinced that
the attitude of the council reflects
the attltudo ot the people, It will be
come Imposslblo to Interest outside
capital to invest here.
"We are not asking for any spe
cial favora we ask only fair play.
If there is anything seriously wrong
with our service, there is a legitimate
way to get it corrected."
Signers Arc Many
General support given tho refer
endum petitions on the Gllson water
works franchise Monday Insured

people. The petitions had been out

According to the law governing
a city referendum, signers must

total rote cast for mayor at the
proceeding general election. Tho
mayornlty rote In November, 1920,
the largest ever cast in Bend, was
1,608, so that 161 signers wero
needed to quality the petition.
Will Flln My April 17.
A feature ot Monday's referen
dum work was tho number ot people
who came voluntarily to the peti
tion circulators and asked for the
privilege ot signing. Ot those whose
signatures were requested, not one
refused, it was reported this morn
ing. Petitions continued In circulation
today. They may bo filed any tlmo
