KLAMATH COURT GETSJUPPORT Chamber of Commerce Official Says Charges False and Selfish A special dispatch from Salem to the Portland Telegram, save: Corroborat ing a letter recently written to Gover nor West bv William Worden. County Judge of Klamath County. C. T. Oli ver, aecretarv and manager of the Klamath Chamber of Commerce, today forwarded to the Governor a communi cation declaring the Klamath Com mercial Club to be composed of "ob structionists." that its meetings were behind closed doors and that the whole fight made on the County Court ia of a personal and political nature. The club recently wrote to the Governor, charg ing the Court with graft. The Cham ber of Commerce was organized six years ago. this last letter states, and iB the onlv public organization in Klam ath: that the Klamath Commercial Club s deliberations are erivate and that it doea not stand for progress. He expresses the opinion that but aix or seven men are back of the charges 8ent 'v the Commercial Club to the uovernor. accusing the Countv Court of graft, and sava the charges are un true. The Countv Court spends large sums of money but accomplishes much, be declares, and the people are proud of it. and savs the old poor farm was not suitable, and while the new farm and infirmary coat much monev. the people should tajie pride in an institution like it. The statement made bv tbe Com mercial Club that better land could be obtained for $40 an acre, he pro nounces false. Governor Weat has not yet taken ac tion with relation to tbe matter. G. D. Arthur was a visitor from the West Side Saturday. TO SUBMIT PLANS BY ARPILHFTEEN It Will Be Possible to Vote on Sewerage System By July First The Council last night convened to meet with G. W.
