Seldom does a day pass that twenty

to the county clerk for the bounty, the
hunters later disposing of tbe skins to
a local fur dealer, who baa shipped

Since the now bounty law, however,
the skins are of less value than for

night a Taft Club was organised, with
Frank Ira White as president, and the
following other efficer: Vie presi
dent. Captain O. C. Applegate; secre
tary, Caleb T. Oliver; treasurer, J. W.
Rots. A committee on by-laws waa
chosen consisting of J. W. Rosa, Dell
V. Kuykendall and O. L. Carter.
On suggestion of Mr. White, Cap
tain Applegate was placed In nomina
tion for delegate to the national con
vention at Chicago June 18th est,
and while the captain bad hoped to
see thl honor given to Mr. Whit In
stead, he agreed that If it was the
sense of tbe meeting that he be favor
ed he would consent So he will be
tho Klamath Falls man at the national
convention, barring the unforseen.
Antone Castel, who opened the
meeting as chairman, was placed In
nomination for the club's president.
but declined, owing to the fact that he
is going to California-, and csssot
serve In the office. He announced
himself a republican candidate for
county treasurer, however. As he
made a very creditable record a post
master for Klamath Falls. It la believ
ed that he will get a strong Indorse
ment on that fact. Succeeding Mr.
Castel on chairman, Mr. White took
charge and said that during a recent
visit to Portland he.hsd visited the
Taft Club there, which organisation
Is making arrangements to send
speakers over the state in th Interest
of promoting th eaadldacy for th
nstlon's presidency to succeed hint
self In the White House.
It was tbo sense of th meeting th
club be sn open one, supported by vol
untary subscription, Instead of having
dues. If the organisation should de
cide upon a special name. It will be
determined later.
