Fred I'etorson returned lust night

grading papers and attending tho
Htnto and county school iupurInton-
duul's convention nt Salem. Ho was
n member of tho committee appoint
ed by tho superintendents to take up
proposed legislation with tho mom
hers of tlio Legislature In Portland
tho lit st of tho weok.
"Wo weie piutlcuhuly Intercstod
as to tlio moihoti or uisinuuung

'Muitnnomuli teachers nnd school
tioiuda fnvoicd u uitto of one-third
for onch tenchor, .uul two-third,
for tho pupils attenrtliut.
"This would bo tin ndv.inMgo to
Portland with Its huge enrollment,
but not to tho Bintllrr districts, so
wu urged tho ratio of half for topchor
nnd half for" nuplls oiu oiled. Wo
also advocated tho ct cation of i nuin-

for tho Biunll district -bus n mini
mum of 300 days n mouth, to glvo
thorn nn eaunl chanco to got w good
tcachora as larger districts.
"Anothor thing wo took up was
to make tho county treasurer the de
pository for all school funds, Instead
of having them In tho hands of tho
various boards as at present. It Is
felt that tho facilities of tho treas
uier's Olllco would permit better at
tention being given tho funds, and
In this way, tho money, deposited by
tho treasurer In tho banks would
bring in two precont, which, added
to tho county's general fund, would
help materially.
"For this, of course, it is only
just tho treasurer's salary to bo In
creased. It Is ostlmated that tho
school funds of Orogon, with half
out on two per cent Interest, would
return $01,000 to tho counties of
tho stttto.
"Theso two changes will come up
In tho county code bill to bo In

tho committee from the court of ac
count investigating the alleged Ger
man atrocities ln Belgium Is com
pleted, according to George PayeHe,

Tho report, which contains 20,

leged crimes were not proven to have

Goes for W. F. Wyland
Indicted on Charge of Shooting at Sherman Brown
If Klamath county and Klamath
Falls nro to forgo ahead, It will bo
ky the settling up and cultivation of
tho thousands of acres of mnnless
lands ln this section. One good way
to get tho proper kind of farmer
to coma In hero is to enable tho
Klamath Chnmbor of Commerce to
send a convincing display and repre
sentative to tho Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition, to interest
tho homoseeker attending tho fair.
This was ono of tho main argu
ments mndo nt lost night's booster
mooting ut tho Open; House, when
Tom Richardson, booster plenipo
tentiary for the stnto of Oregon, was
tho principal speakor. Ho brought
out convincing facts to prove his
statements, nnd mado a deep Im
pression upon his hearers.
Besides tho talk by Richardson,
Judgo Webster nnd W. F. McCredlo
both mado well received tallksl.
Library Club Meets
Tho Woman's Library -Club meets
tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 in the
library hall.
Tho Identity of the last of tho,
John Dee" Indictments returned by
the recent session of tho grand Jury,
has at lust been learned. Tho man
Indicted Is W. F. Wyland, who has
u homestead near Crystal, on Upper
Klamath Lake.
Wyland is charged with shooting
at Sherman A. Browu, who also re
sides In that section.
Sinco tho indictment was returned,
tho sheriff's ofllce has been making
diligent search for Wyland. He hns
Just been located near Coqulllo, In
Coos county, by tho sheriff there.
This morning u deputy sheriff left
for tho Coast, to bring back Wyland
for arraignment and trial.
Tho tudlctmont of Wyland Is only
ono of a sorics of logal steps that
hnvo been taken by tho Wyland and
tho Drowns In n neighborhood fued.
Roth families have been frequently
In court on charges preferred by the
other.
A fence and the location of a road
are tho principal causes of conten
tion, It Is understood. The Drowns
In the earlier summer, had tho Wy
lands arrostod, charged with threat
ening to kill, and with threatening
nnd advocating the committing ot a
felony.
Immediately after this tho Wy-
lands had tho Browns arrested on a
chargo ot tearing down tho Wlland
fence.
Tho case kept getting more bitter
and similar charges were made by
both factions, and an officer was con?,
tlnually on the road between here
and Crystal, to serve warrants or
subpoenas.
After much squabbling ot this kind
nt tho expense of tho county, Dis
trict Attorney 'John Irwin and
Charles F. Stono, attornoy for the
Wylands, mado a trip to tho warring
neighborhood to try and effect a set-
tlnmmit. Thev hnlrl n cnunrll with
all parties concerned, and It was
agreed that with both tactions mak
ing a little concession, and a new
road being laid out, thoro could be
poaco again. The suits were then
dropped.
Late ln tho summer a shot was
taken at Sherman Brown ,s he "was
out ln tho woods. Just who fired .
this was not learned at that time. '
It Is alleged In the indictment that )
Wyland did the shooting.
