The socialist vote In Klamath Falls
on the charter proposition was over
200, according to a prominent follow
er of Eugene V. Debs. It is believed
that this vote went as a unit against
the charter.
"We have lost some voters from
our ranks by change of residence,"
said a socialist this morning, "but by
women voting we were able to make
up tho number."
Loral attorneys differ aa to the
need of testing the new charter la
the supreme court. Many arc of tke
opinion that there la net tke slightest
qusetloa of the legality of Ue aasev
ure, and that the delay laeldMtal to
the taking of the charter teto tke

on Improvement work tkla sua

u short tlmo ago, was Invited by the

result.
The need of a United States deposi
tory has boon felt here for several
years, and of late haa been greatly In
creased, on account of the monies be
ing haudled by the reclamation ser
vice and the Indian service here. Both
of theso branches handle an enormous
sum each year, which la being ateadt

tho Klamath Indian reservation.
Heretofore, It has been necessary
to remit money to Baa Francisco or
some other United States depository
by bank draft, or to ship the funds by
express. This has entailed aa ex
