RcforendumPetitionKeeps
Appolnteo From Filling:
Office Now
Klamath Herald: John Irwin will
hav to rontinu to act as prosecuting
attorney both. for Klamsth and t ake
counties until next November, an i ().
C. nibl, who was appointed ni-elct
attorney for Lake County by (lover
nor West cannot take office until a refer
endum vote is taken on the new county
attorney act passed by the latt legis
lature. A referendum petition was filed
againxt the measure Salnrdsy at
Salem, and this will prevent the law
from going Into effect until the special
election in November. In case the
special election should be declared con
stitutional, the new law will be held
up for two year.
PETITIONS FILED
AGAINST 3 BILLS
County Attorney, Com
pensation and Steriliza
tion Acts Are Hit
According to a Sa'era dispatch under
date of May 31, referendum petitions
against the workmen' compensation
act,' the county attorney bill and
the sterilization bill have teen
presented at the secretary of state's
office for tiling and the name are
being checked.
The petition referring the compensa
tion art was presented by Wilfred E.
Farrell, law partner of W. M. Davis
of Portland, and bears TiOO names.
The county attorney referendum peti
tion was presented by Ja i.es E. Craib
of Portland, and hears approximately
8000 names. The sterilization bill
referendum petition was presented by
Mrs. Lore C. Little ot Portland, vice
president of the Anti Sterilization
league, and beara 8500 names. The
legal requirement of name is approx
imately 0200.
As to who are behind the compensa
tion act referendum is not made clear
but it is said that a number of
working men are most Interested in
seeing tho measure referred.
Craih said tbe signature to the peti
tion referrending the county attorney
bill wore secured in all parte of the
state. He said there was strong senti
ment against the measure in eastern
Oregon, especially in Umatilla county:
but that most of the objection appear
ed in the Willamette valley. The
principal objection to the bill, be said,
was because uf the provision for a
four year term for the county attor
neys that would bo appointed, thus
carrying them post tho next general
election.
According to Mrs. Little there is
more popular demand of the referend
um on the sterilization bill than any
other measure ever referred, and that
the signers think the measure an in
sane law.
If the petitions are accepted the
measures will be voted on at the
special election called for the first
Tuesday alter the first Monday in Nov
ember of this year, unless in a man
damus suit, which probably will be
brought by persons interetitea in refer
encing the bill regulating the practice
of dentistry, the special election law
ia declared unconstitutional. In that
case, it is said the petitions will cause
the measure to be held until the next
general election.
One Favor Granted
According to a New Pine Creek spec
ial to the Keno Journal the first favor
that town ever received from the N.-C.-O.
Railway was gianted last week
after the hearing of the State Railroad
Commission In, regard to the depot
aueation, when the road agreed to de
liver freight from the Fairport depot
to New Pine Creek for 10 cents per
hundred pound. It further states
tnat thf evidence at the hearing shov
ed several of the N.-C.-O. officials
were heavy stockholders In the Fair
port Town and Land Co., and that the
trains do nt stop at the New Pine
Creek depot.
FREE SUGAR BEET SEED
EXPERIMENTS ON GROWING
WILL BE MADE IN COUNTY
N.-C-O. Will Furnish Farmers With Free
Seed and Tests Will Be Made fhis Fall
Planting Instructions Given
Manager Dunaway. of the Nevada-California-Oregon
railway announces
that he is anxious that farmers, and
people generally, along the line of the
road should make a test in the various
localities to determine what the sugar
content of beets will show a result
of the tests In the various soils.
"At Amcdee and Madeline," said
Mr. Dunaway, the tests last year in
dicate a peculiar adaptability to the
beet. In some instsnces the sugar con
tent runs a high aa 24 per cent. This
is remarkable when we stop to consid
er that tbe average in Colorado, which
is one of the foremost states In that
line, is only about 12 per cent. If wt
can grow the beets possessing the
proper per cent of sugar we can locate
a beet suiar refinery bere.
"It would be difficult to measure the
benefit to accrue Irom such an institu
tion. First of all, it would mean tbe
development of every available acre.
It would hasten the era of the small,
well cared for and remunerative farm.
Beet raising can be conducted in con
nection with dairying, bog-raising,
grain raising and the various interests
allied with farming.
"Then, more than this, it would
mean the investment of a milion dol
lar in a refinery and furnish employ
ment to hundreds of people. I am
hopeful that the people will evidence
an interest in this."
The road has procured free seed for
distribution to all those who will make
the test. Tbe rules are simple and
RECALL FAILS ON
KLAMATH JUDGE
Worden Retained Over Op-!
ponent by Three to
One Majority
Klumath Ffclls, June 3. With a maj
ority of nearly three to one, Will 8.
Worden defeated Frank Ira White in
the recall election for County Judge
yesterday. The total vote, not count
ing some small outlying preoincts,
which will make Wordenta lead. still
further, gives Worden 2,256 to White's j
9."1. This leaves Worden a majority
of 1,305.
It also shows that the vote all over
the county was by far the largest ever
cast in any sort of an election, the
total reaching nearly 3,000 when the
final figures are all in and counted,
t his vote was largely added to by the
women who have been given suffrage,
this being their first general ote.
Tbe figures last night show a vote of
2,808.
This was the greatest victory the
county ever gave any man, tbe people
weeping Judge Worden back into the
office from which the reactionaries
sought to recall him by the largest
majority ever given one man over an
other in the county for any election.
It is geperally conceded that it was
not choice the people made particul
arly between the two men but a choice
between those fighting tbe progressive
principles of Judge Worden and the
stagnation generally recognized as the
ultimate result if his opponen with
hi backers should be elected.
After the election returns were re
ceived Judge Worden was given the
greatest ovation ever extended to any
man in Klamath County, when he was
carried for block oi the backs ot his
constituent led by the Klamath Falls
band mid followed by a thousand cheer
ing friewM.
County Assessor A. J. Foster left
liisi week to spend several days in the
northern part of the county.
those who raise them will find that the
test hs not proven a waste as the
beets make an excellent food for cows,
bogs or even for poultry, if saved
for "grec n food" for early and mid
winter. The beets should be planted about
one and one-half inches deep In rows
13 to 20 inches apart. The seed should
be drilled quite thickly.
When tbe beets are about the size of
lead pencil thin to about 8 to 10
inches apart.
If on irrigated ground and irrigation
Ih required to bring the seed up, do
not flood tne ground, but make ditch
between the rows and let it soak to
beeta gradually.
After beets are up cultivation rather
than irriaalioi Bhould be the rule. It
is quite possible that beets in this sec
tion will do well without Irrigation,
unless extremely dry.
When bee's are suffering for water
tbe leaves turn to a very dark green.
Cultivate three or four times, or until
leaves get so large that some of them
re torn off bv the cultivator.
Take average soil, report time
plant, character of soil and conditions
during the season. Please ketp this
data so that determinations can be
maJe in the fall.
A quantity ot seed can be obtained
of any agent of the line, or by address
ing "Land Commissioner, N.-C.-O.
Ry., Fairport, Calif."
The beets should not be dug until
October.
NEVADA WOOL GOES
ON CONSIGNMENT
W. P. Official Will Interest
Buyers For Local
Lambs
E. S. Reader, traveling freight and
passenger agent of the W'estern Pac
ific Railroad returned south yesterday
morning after spending several days
in Lakeview. He also made a trip up
to Paisley the fast of the week, and
was very favorably impressed with
that country.
Mr. Reader mformid an Examiner
man that considerable wool is moving
in Nevada on tbe consignment basis.
He says there have been numerous
buyers in that state all season but
that tbe product has not brought much
better prioes than tbe local wool which
has been sold. In some cases the com
mission merchants have guaranteed
growers 10 cents per pound, but he con
siders this a poor proposition owing to
the unsettled condition of the market.
He believes 12 1-2 cents per pound
outright is much better than the com
mission plan even at a 10 cent guaran
tee. He says over a million pound
have recently been taken nn consign
ment in Nevaaa, most of which went
to Eiaeman Bros.. Boston.
Mr., Reader ia working on a plan to
get Eastern mutton buyer interested
in this section to buy up the lambs.
He intend to have tuyere bere by July
1st, and if he can enlist co-operation
of the growers and local merchant
this will afford an opportunity to eff
ect early sales and at probatly the
best prices.
In concluding his conversation, Mr.
Rcaaersuid: "You bave the finest
country here in this valley of any of
the territory which I uvvr. It surely
stem good to look, on this green and
hardy vegetation-' you have after
grazing on tne ory isin-is oi ins iow
j er country."

Sunday Excursion to
Neighboring: Town Was
a Great Success
Last Sunday tbe Lakeview baneball
team went to Alturas with an enthus
iastic bunch of fans and fancttes, tbe
N.-C.-O. having obligingly arranged an
excursion for the occasion The trip
to the neighboring rity was made on
record time, and tbe greater portion
of Altoraa met tbe train at Kice'i
crossing. The Altdra band wsa very
much in evidence were the num
erous autos which were on hand to
convey the Lakeview crowd into town.
After an excellent chicken dinner
at the bote! more ear were provided
to take the Lakeview crowd out to
Dorris park where the ball game was
played. Promptly at 2 o'clock the signal
of "play ball" was given, the game
was fast and furious, lasting but an
hour and three-quarters, and resulted
In an easy victory for the Lakeview
team. Tbe score was 5 to 1. Tbe Altur

TERMS OF CIRCUIT
COURT JJNCHANGED
Session Laws Show No
Alteration As Was
Expected
According to the 1913 Session Laws,
copies of wbicb bave just been receiv
ed in Lakeview, there were no changea
made in dates for terms of Circuit
Court in Lake County at the last
legislature.
Local attorneys and officials have
been under the impression that the
Fall term had been chsnged irom Oct
ober to September and that provisions
bad been made for a third term to be
held in January, state Se ator W.
Lair Thompson was of tbe opinion
that this bill bad become a law, and
it is considered possible that in com
piling the Session Laws it was inad
vertantly overlooked.
The matter will probably be investi
gated, but in the meantime Lake
County will have to be content with
the usual May and October terms.
