The Chronicle la In error when It aa)s that from 1,600 to 12,000 dollara have been spent for Improvements, as the rec ords show only In the neighborhood of $i"00. Tho Improvements consist ed of an addition being constructed to tho old buildings, -some fencing and a few additions to the old barn. It was Impossible to ralso aA onion bed or any other garden supplies. The land has been sowed to grain, and some hay secured each year, the amount of crop depending on wheth er there waa a spring rain or not Sometlmca the crop waa raised and others It waa not, the land conform ing and yielding In comparison with other dry land throughout the county. It Ilea over the other aide of the hill on the Keno road, la away outside the city limits, and Is not suitable property for platting and It not val uable. The poorhouse Itself was a die grace to Klamath county, not only be ing In a very unhandy and disap pointing location, but the Interior of the building wna poorly constructed, cold, nnd the rooms without flues ex cept one room at the rear. In which there was a stove. The dining room was cold and dark. There was no way of heating the bedrooms, and the Inmalea who were sick were com pelled to be shoved Into the back or lounging room, the only place where they could keep warn, ft was a die grace to Klamath county, and the Court waa much chagrined to have to maintain It. There waa no way of caring for tho sick; no operating room In case of accidents, and the condition of thlnga were unbeliev able. Last winter we had a tubercu lar caae there, and no place In town could be secured to put the patient; I there was no room In -the house where n fire ronld be had, and the county physician was compelled to keep this .tubercol&r patient In the room with 'the fire until he died. Imagine the 'sick and well all In one room, and liable tn contagion, and no way to help It. There were many canes of county poor who never wcro taken to the poor house, nnd as a result they have been In various rooming houses and restaurants at an excess I re cost to tho county, each one requiring a separate nurse, and the result la that the rare of the county poor, which should hare been handled and could have been handled had the Court a sufficient place to do It, haa been an enormous expense and drain upon the county. ' This Is what the Court sought to avoid, and why a selection for a poor farm waa made. It la a well knowa fact that In other states poor farms, where correctly operated, are prac tically self-supporting. Therefore, It waa decided by the County Court to select a piece of ground under the ditch and of the beat possible land ob tainable, where not only hay, grain and alfalfa could be raised, bnt gar den truck also, aa well aa cattle, pigs and chlckena could be kept, and upon which any Inmates could work who were able, thua saving the county a large amount of money each year, supplying a hospital and Inflrmary which waa no disgrace. The members of the Court there fore, proceeded to look for a location.

Thla condition found ua with the forty acres on band for a new poor farm, and the old one still on our hands.

Thla means a valuation of about 17,100. Quite a bit of the new farm had been plowed and some seed sown, and aa a? further consideration the crop oa the old farm waa allowed to go to the purchaser, the County Court paying Mr. John Witt therefor the aum of 1100 for work done and seed sown, figuring that It secured an amount of work equal In value on the now farm.
