tract was entered Into, which by Its
terms expired December 3lst, 1905.
Since tho latter dato tbe town of
Klamath Palls has changed Its name
and adopted a new charter. The pres

Mr. Gates states In that tutorvlew,
that aftor April 1st, that unless paid
In cash for city service It will be

It sounds a llttlo strange, tor Mr,
Gates, after accepting the city's boun

tlnuance of thoso privileges, to
threaten a discontinuance ot tho city

F. T. SANDERSON.
Proildont ot tho Council
Merely by transferring tho duck
amendment to tho game code from
tbo Governor's pocket In his coat to
tho Sccrctaty of Btnto's pocket, Gov
ernor Denson executed a neat little
coup on the Legislature when id
learned tbo houso was about to re
call tho bill for further discussion
and riot. Tbo Qovornor was anxious
that the Legislature completo Its
work and did not bolleveln allowing
a little thing liko a duck to inter
fere. Detoro tho messenger from the
House could arrive tho Governor
oo k the bill from his (Governor's)
pocket Indorsed It as follows: "Filed
March 1C. 1903, F. W. Denson, Sec
retary of State," and placed It In tho
35crctary of State's pocket. '
Wbon tha messenger from tho
House arrived and made request tor
the bill, tho Governor said:
"You nro too late; tho bill has Just
been fllod with tho Secretary ot
Stato."
One of the most Important meet
ings ovor held In Klamath Falls and
one from which great results are pre
dicted, wai hold this afternoon at
the offlco of Frank Ira White, when
over ttlrty of tho leading farmers
and land owners gathered for tbo
purpose of organizing a dairy asso
ciation. Tho greatest Interest was
manifested by tho largo attendance
which completely filled the office.
Much useful Information was giv
en by thoso experienced In the busi
ness, and tbo Interoit manifested
showed ttat tie farmers of Klamath
1 ave awakened to the Importance and
advantage of promoting tbe dairy
Industry in this section. W. II. Hell
oman, of tho Reclamation Service,
who was present, gave some very
valuablo Information from bis vast
knowledge of the soils and climatic
conditions of the county. Mr. Helle
man stated that tbe Klamath coun
try was Ideal for tbo dairy herd and
predicted that the time waa near at
hand when this county would produce
butter and cheese equal to any aec-
tlon In tho United States. He. spoke
very favorable of the co-operative
plan In the creamery business and
urged that this movement be not con
fined to this end ot the Klamatk Ba
sin, but should cover the entire val
ley. He stated that the sooner the
Klamath farmer added the dairy herd
to his farm, the better It would be
for the prosperity of tbe entire coun
ty. He explained the particular good
points of tbe Jersey, Holsteln, Dur
ham and other breeds, and gave It
as his opinion that the Holsteln or a
cross with tho Jersey would be more
successful In this climate than the
pure blood Jersey, especially aa the
latter needed very careful attention
and would not stand exposure aa
somo of the hardier breeds would.
