Klamath and Lake Counties now
composo tho Thirteenth Judicial Dis
trict, or will as noon as the Governor
signs tho bill dividing tho- First Dis
trict, which has passed both tho
House and tho Senate.
Tho First Judicial District was con
stituted by Josephine Jackson, Klam
ath and Lako Counties. Because of
poor transportation facilities tho dis
trict for a number of years lids been
divided Into two dlviitons, designat
ed as tho first and sscond p'ros:cut-
Ing attorney -districts. The law u
It has been ennctcd by tlio twent)
fifth Legislature make tbesa prose
cuting attorney districts full fudged
Judicial districts, of which Joopblno
and Jackson will bo tho First Dis
trict and, Klamath and Lako will be
tbo Thirteenth District. '
At present Judge Hnnna and Judgo
George Noland aro tl.o Judges In tho
district and tho former will bo Judge
In tho First District and tho ratter In
tho Thirteenth until successors aro
olectcd. '
This division of tho districts will
make no change In tho condnct of
business before tho Courts, as hero
toforo tbo business has always been
entirely separate! Tho only change
will bo or a political nature. At el,
cctlons hereafter the pcoplo of Klam
ath and Lake will select their own
Judgo without. tho help of tho voters
west of the mountains. This will bo
a great advantage to a Democratic
candidate, as It will glvb him a chanco

ection of a Democrat was practically
an Impossibility.
