BRIEF MENTION
J. P. Ilonhatn tpetit lev era! day at
Fori Klamath felling Singer sewing ma
cliiuea and Ediaon phonographs.
There I rejoicing in tbe home of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred rilahlman over the ar
rival of an heir, lie took potteraton o(
the house latt hatuntay afternoon.
Ja. II. Drltcoll It In the city from 15c
nanza. Ileia it ktep liim on tlie go
lodging the politician. Il It generally
undentood that lie meant dodging into
them.
A program has been prepared for a
meeting at llio Pietbyterian church,
Tuttday, April It, at 3 o'clock. Every
woman interested in the temperance
movement it urged to attend.
A large tatmill Is l-elng; built at Po
kegama. About twenty-flvo men are
now employed on the bul'idng and it is
stated that the mill will be In operation
by tbe first day of July.
S. K. Noel arrived in tho city Satur
day night to look after his property in
terests. He expects to remain a lew
week. lie aaya hit daughter haa been
quite 111 (or some time and could not
ttand the iltmate at Woodburn. They
will try California (or her health.
Klamath county hat long been looking
forward to the time when It aboold be
in a position where a new court bona
can bo built without any infringement
of the law governing tlie indebtedness
of the county. Thl time I now nar
at hand and ll it tat to say that before
Coanty Judge Griffith' term expire
work will hare commenced on tbe erec
tion of the mott beautiful and (ubstan
lial court house In Southern Oregon.
The county ha long needed a court
boi'te. and had it not been lor tbe un
constitutionality of a certain measure
put before the Legislature tbe itructure
would now be completed.
Tlie Indebtedneia of tbe county ba
prevented the erection ol a new build
ing for county purpose, but now tbat
the debt I being reduced the possibility
(or a court house become encouraging.
In another year tbe county tbould be
practically (ree (rom debt. Tb aeml
annual statement o( tb coanty omclal
(or the term ending March 31st show
tlie toUl liabilities of the county to "be
$83,831.70, whiktbr)rtijjjtt'
31,005.4S, leaving an lndebtedtM of
153,835 03. Thl iuelf amount to prac
tically nothing, but in on more year
the amount will bale than $X,000,and
if lb county of Klamath cannot then be
gin the erection of a (100,000 court nous
without having the legality of the war
rant questioned by some disgruntled
taxpayer it will be high time to change
tlie law governing tbe limit of indebted
ness of a county.
During ILe past year the Indebtedness
of the county has been reduced approxi
mately 140,000, and should thl work
continue (or one more year the county
can then pay (or the court bouse aa tbe
work proceed and by tbe time tbe build
