Max Frederick Klelst, the German
Hardener for Edward X. Brcltung, the
millionaire mining man, is suing his
former cmplojer for $250,000 for
taking his wife away. Juliet Brett
ung felt in love with the gardener and

have the girl leave htm. She did, ulti
mately. In the United States court In New
York, w here the case was trled,testl
mony of a maid was Introduced to
show the daughter loved her husband,
and that when the father was trying
to send him off to a western mine she
prepared a list of promises the father
was to make. This list, the maid said,
was written. Among them was a de
mand that she be permitted to com
municate with her husband. Klelst
went to tho mine, but instead of hav
ing an opportunity to become a min

!
-
"
The Chautauqua management has
arranged a pleasant surprise tor the
r
closing program Of the Chautauqua:
this evening. In being able to present
Mrs. Don J. Zumwalt as soloist.
Mrs. Zumwaltjhas a host of friends
nnd admirers in Klamath Falls who
will be very clad to bear her on the
Chautauqua platform. She has & so
prano voice far above the average, of
wido range and well trained. Her
reputation as a singer extends far be
yond Klamath county, and the Chau
tauqua people feel that they are very
fortunate In botng able to present
Mrs. Zumwalt In the closing program.
Lost spring Mrs. Zumwalt waa for
eaine time soloist with the Andrews
Grand Opera company In a very suc
cessful tour of the Coast. The op
portunity of hearing her tonight
Lhould not be overlooked by her homo
frtenda.
This afternoon Senator Burkett de
livered his lecture Government Own
ership of Railroads" before a large
audience. So many people were de
lighted with his address Sunday even
ing that they .flecked tehear him
aaaln today. Ownership of railroads
is a much-talked subject, to which the
senator has given a great deal of time
and study, both In this country and
abroad. He Is convinced that at the
present time this government would
make et serious mistake In taking over
the railroads, backing up his position
with convincing arguments.
The Buckner Jubilees will give
their full program this evening, so
that with the appearance of Mrs.
Zumwalt, the program should be a
very pleasing one.
Attendance at Chautauqua has been
increasing dally, testifying in no un
certain way as to bow Klamath peo
ple enjoy these high class programs.
Yesterday's attendance was the larg
est of the week, with the exception of
Saturday night, and it is hoped that
tonight's attendance will be even
larger.
Making the Klamath Falls engage
ment has worked a big hardship on
the visiting talent, as it has necessi
tated a 107-mile automobile ride to
Grants Pass In order to he there In
time for the opening of the program
there the following day. It waa the
original plan to drive only to Ashland
but the taking off of a train at few
weeks ago necessitates the drive
clear through.
The Adelphian Quartet struck rain,
snow 'and hall on their trip, and
reached Grants Pass .with hardly time
to change their clothes for the pro
gram., The orchestra encountered
better, weather, and-badltlme for a
little rest before their appearance. ,
Aa soon as the program closes to
night, Sunerlntendent'Foster will put
his men to work tearing down the big
tent. The tent will go to the repair
shop, and probably to the Junk heap.
as the wind last week, damaged It
badly. The reason this tent waa sent
here In the first place was that the
burning out of a tunnel .In Calltor
nia necessitated an entire rearrange
ment of the tent schedule, and this
old tent had to be pressed Into ser
vice.
Mr. Foster leaves tomorrow for
La Crosse. WaBh.. his next town. He
will be accompanied by Irwlng Willis,
assistant superintendent; while Miss
Alexander will go to Cottage Grove.

LAND RECLAIMED
BY JULY LAST
EIGHT THOUSAND ACRES WILL
HAVE BEEX PLACED UNDER
DIKES BY JULY 30, FINISHING
WORK O.V'McCORNACK PLACE
The last of Jul- is the time set tor
the completion of the reclamation
of 8,000 acres of land on the E. P.
McCornack place on the Upper Klam
ath Lake. Diking for 5,000 acres
waa completed last year and the pres
ent job will add 3,000 more acresp
making a tout of 8,000 acres.
Only 1,000' feet or practically one-
fourth of a mile remains on the pres
enV'job for completion, according to
George Steenson, who was in town
today and who is employed on the
dredger which Is doing the work.
Owing to the nature of the soil In
the' marsh, It Is necessary to go over
this work several times In order that
an embankment hlghienough be ob
tnlned for proper diking. It will be
the last of July before the Job is com
pleted. This Is the largest individual
reclamation and draining proposition
in the county and a dredger had been
working continually since last spring
with the exception of a few months
In the winter. The present dike is
being built outside the first and sep
arates the two marshes which border
on this land. The land will be train
ed with the aid of a pump and evap
oration, the dikes aiding Inj keeping
more water from flowing on the land.
