ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP
LOST RIVER PLANT
KLAMATH FA'I.l-S, Ore., May 27,
An attempt to blowup the Irriga
tion pumping plant near the Lost
River bridge at Bonanza near here at
midnight Sunday was frustrated 6y
the fact that the perpetrator placed
the explosive In the wrong place, so
the actual damage done, was slight,
The roof ot tho building over the
pump and motor was blown partly
off, the main shaft somewhat sprung
and a few minor Injuries caused to
the motor and pump.
The damage can be repaired and
tho Irrigation, which is now In pro
gress can proceed.:
-vThe person who planned the ex
plosion was clever enough to wear
sacks on his feet, so that It would be
very difficult to track him. He so-
cured;dyaamlte and fuse from
place nearby, where It has been kept

President Wilson said in beginnins
his speech, "of making the first

to sav that I feel very much at home

for one thing, if I mav say so. to

greatest earnestness, and vet I can
not, if I mnv iudee bv mv'own ex

is a task of unrelieved rosponsinit

" American constitutions as a rule .
nut so many duties of the highest

of the responsibility ot attnirs o

the feelings and the purposes of a

speak for mvsclf. the chief anxiety
I bnvc hud has been to be the true .
interpreter of a national spirit, ex
