SETTLES QUESTION
! OF WHO VOTES
:hmi. makes statement
regarding legal votes i.
mommy's school election,
eligibility settled
un account of the usual contro
versies that arise over the persons
that are eligible to vote In the school
elnrtlon next Monday, County School
Superintendent Fred I'eterson has ex
plained the law which governs this.
The polls open at 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon at the Central school build
ing on Main street, and will continue
open until all have voted, the law not
providing special hours. The election
Is general all over the county.
Following Is tho statement made
out by Mr. I'eterson at the request of
the Herald, and explains just who arc
the legal oters In Oregon school elec elec
teons: "In D!srlct No. 1, Klamath Falls,
a legal votqr at the school election to
bo held next Monday must be a tax
payer; and tho name must anpear on
the tax roll that Is now In the process
of collection. IIuvIdk one's name
placed upon tho tax roll now In prep
aration by tho assessor docs not qual
ify. In all other school districts in
Klamath county, in addition to tax
paers, heads of families having chil
dren between the ages of 4 and 20
arc qualified av voters. Woman's suf
frage has no effect on the quallflca
tlons of school voters, as It is still re
stricted to tax payers, except In third
class districts, where heads of fam
Hies may vote."

To the Citizens of Klamath Falls:
Tho resignation of Mayor Nicholas
has rendered it Imperative, under
tho charter, that an election be held
to elect a successor.
Assuming that such an election will
bo called without unnecessary delay.
I hereby announce my candidacy for
the office of mayor for the unexpired
term of Mayor Nicholas.
While the present condition or the
city from a financial standpoint Is
fairly good, it Is evident that to main
tain that condition a policy of re
trenchment Is imperatively demanded.
If elected as the executive of the
tlty, it will be my policy to make auch
retrenchment as will, so far aa possi
ble offset the $10,500 from license
after January 1, 1916, and lessen the
necessity for a higher rate of tasa
tion for the next fiscal year.
I believe that consolidation is pos
sible In some departments that will
lessen considerably the expense of
conducting the city government. I
also believe that- other departments
can bo handled efficiently with safety
to tho public with less expense.
1 further believe that the salary of
Mayor of $1,200 per year Is an ex
travagance in tho executive depart'
ment, and can well be dispensed with
If honored by the people of this city
with election to office of mayor, I will
bring to boar upon the affairs of the
city the same business policy that has
characterized the conduct of my own
affairs. C. B. CRISLER.

Oil Will Go Down 8,000 Feat
i
Every Indication that there is oil
in the Poe Valley region has come
to light, according to J. O. Hamnker,
United States Commissioner, who Is
In Klamath Falls. A drilling outit
has been working on the Meachajn
place for several months, where ladl-
cations of oil wero found last winter
on the ice of a drain. Wednesday,
when the drill was pulled out the
rope was covered for twenty feet with.
otl.
Mr. Hamaker states that the oil '
hicb has been struck is under 100
feet of water, which forces it down
i.nd prevents it from rising to the
s'irface. A larger engine had been
installed Tuesday on the works, nnd
the company is prepared to go down
3,000 feet, If necessary, until a good
How or oil Is struck.
A year ago this spring Mr. Meaeh
am noticed considerable oil on the
ice in ar drain on his place. Ha told
several of his neighbors about It, nnd
they began making preparations for
drilling,... May 3 theLost River De
velopment and Prospecting company
was incorporated, and a lease secured
on the Meacham place. The members
of the corporation arc Tom Rooerts.
E. W. Roberts. Ell Wolfe and J. O.
Hamaker. Their lease holds for
three years, and covers a half section
of ground. They first struck water
at a 100-foot depth, and got lato SO
feet of water.
So far they nave drilled down ISO
feet. Hamaker states that they are
In a shale that Is green and soppy
with oil, and that every Indication
points to the location of oil. He
states that he has experimented for
several years with samples of rock
and sand in these regions, and that
there is oil here some place. He
states that this shale they are In Is
so soppy that the oil can be squeesed
out by the hand.
Mr. Hamaker has secured entry on
all the government land In the region.
If oil should be struck with a groat
degree of success It would not be a
month until thero would bo 100 drlllc
at work, ho says.
