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.

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.

'says:
SANTA MONICA, Cal., May
23. The other dny I wrote a
little "gag" about the main
thing that handicapped repeal
of prohibition wag the wrong
people was for it. I still claim
it's true. Prohibition is not a
rarty issue. It 'a not a wet and
dry issue. Tou will find it ia
country against city. Your :
ity's wot and the country ia
against it more because it's the
city dictating to them what to
0, And if you don't think it'
that way, you wait till you
count the votes.
Country folks know the whole
thing won't work, but they are
not going to let town folks tell
them so. That's why I gay the
wrong people are for it to get it
through. ,
