Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I 'Hi-SB words are written at Klam am Falla, where the Oregon Federation of Bualneaa and Pro feaslonal Women'a cluba haa lust held Ita twelfth annual convention, which haa been attended by dele gatea from all over Oregon, It may be telling talea out of achool, but thla writer would aay from caaual observation that three delegates have enjoyed their con vention fully aa much aa the men- folk do when they go out to a con vention. Women are coming right along in business, you see. MOST of these delegates have been acutely disappointed In Klamath Falls. They expected, for example, to see anakea crawling all over the streets, and not a few of them were hopeful of getting a glimpse ot great balla of snakes all wrapped up around each other for warmth. Some enterprising photographer. back In the dim beginnings ot Link vllle, which u now Klamath Falla, took auch a picture, and It haa been distributed all over the United States It la atlll a beat seller, and thous anda of copies of It go out of this city every year. OUT then wen no anakea on the U etreeta for the business and pro fessional women to see when they arrived at least none of the kind that you can touch when you aee them. And there were no blanket In diana. The only Indiana down from the reservation while the lady dele- gatea were here were better dressed and more up-to-date looking than the average ot their white brothers, MOTT LEADING MAFSIE' GRILLED ON KIDNAPING W. C. HAWLEY BY 1 74 VOTES Complete and Partially Official. Count Places Veteran Congressman Behind Young Aspirant N OB were any murdera committed during the entire period from the beginning to the end of thla state convention of the business and pro fessional women of Oregon. All together. It was an exceedingly disappointing experience. , Klamath Falla didn't live up to her reputa tlon at all. IT IS an Interesting fact, but true, that more people acattered all over the country know more things about Klamath rails that AREN'T SO than about any other city In thla Western country. There la the anake story, for ex ample. It haa been spread from one end of the United States to the other, and people come here all atwltter with excitement, expecting to aee anakea mortng up the streets In writhing legions. Some of them are disappointed so bitterly that they break down and cry when they see no snakes at all. pHE snake atory, of course, like moat: otner tradition, is xouna- ed on fact. Away back In the early daya, when thla waa a village, and there were no dams and no water wheela and no Irrigation ditches, the water anakea and the garter anakea and a variety of other anakea lived around the edgea of the upper and the lower lake and fed fat on the froga that made their homes In the tulea. It waa apparently a sort of snake heaven, with the aupply of frogs alwaya equal to the demand. M SNAKES really did congregate In Ltnkvllle, which waa then a ham let on the banks of the Link river, ao named because It links the upper and the lower Klamath lakes, and they chased the froga that lived along the banks of the Link river and the chase waa observed with a more or less sporting Interest by the Inhabitants who were gathered around. It may have been that a few bets were laid here and there. At any rate, a good time was had by all, with the possible exception of the frogs. BUT thoee day are gone forever. The wooden aldewalka under through whose cracks they thrust up their heads from time to time to the frlghtenment of passing wo men have long since been replaced by concrete walka of the most mod ern sort. The operations of agriculture and of Industry have driven away the anakea and the froga. A beautiful. PORTLAND, Ore., May 24. (AP) With an advantage of 174 votea. James W.
