The lllle of Jerome K Jerome's

was forcibly brought lo the nttcntlou
of three citizens of Klamath Falls
while speeding down the Klamath
Itlxer Sunday. Tho boat was turned
over, one could not swim, and II took
the oilier two almost an hour to tow
tho boat anil the helpless man to the

Then they had to walk live miles,
halless, coatless and generally drip
ped of outer garments, as the day was
hoi, before Ihey could procure a con
veyanco to comu to this city. They
left hero nt 12 o'clock, noon, turned
over aboul a o'clock, and returned at
10 o'clock, after u gruelling exper

man nt llm holm attempted to turn
lho boat about In the river while pro
ceeding at full speed. A heavy top
on (ho boat miulu It somewhat top
hoavy, and It turned over, aided by

with titles, mid there nro no inlinhl

This light hut steady patter of

stated Itolaud tllaUyer, county agrl

In the dry laud farmers It is a benefit,
for many of their crops have been
making a poor showing up until this

they left Weed. Ily the time they
had reached this city the rain had
censed, Hut this morning they tvwoko
to llnd tho same stonily drlzrlo hero,
it evidently having overtaken thorn.
Farmers lu the city this morning
are looking Jubilant, and expressing
great holies now for their crops,
where before In ninny soctlona it
looked as If they would be almost a
total loss. This rain, If It should
keep up, Is the right kind, because It
hi fairly steady, and owing to lho con
dition of tho ground It
mid thoroughly wet It.
July it was not genonil, and accom
panied by (ho largo hall stones, It did
llttlo good. It served to pack tho

Iment in an exclusive interview crant-
,. .,, irn..od p. .,. m. .
presslon Is particularly significant be
cause of his Intimate relations with
tho kaiser. Tho baron at one time
was the German ambassador to Toklo,
during the Blaine administration lie
was a special attache to Washington,
and be possesses a full understand
ing of tho relations between the Her
man and the American people.
His statement was further evidence
of German officialdom's apparent de
termination to clear away the feeling
In America that Germany has been In
different to American public opinion.
The baron emphasized the point that
both countries had been led Into a
misunderstanding because of news
that reached each through English
channels.
I am glad to see the effort on both
sides to clear up many of the primary
causes of the misunderstanding be
tween the two great countries bear
ing fruit," continued the baron.
"I have learned It was believed in
many American quarters that Ger
many was only Indifferent to the pos
sibilities of a conflict with America,
but that she was deliberately seeking
to involve America. We regret that
thero are any Americans who believe
it. Germany could not reconcile such
nnTntentloirtortnr,Mii-otLi
pie. You cannot Indict a whole peo
ple. Our two countries should never
have lodged charges of bad faith
against each other. Germany does
not want her sincerity any longer to
be questioned in the new continent.
Quito naturally, she resented the In
dictment for responsibility for this
war, without Judge, jury or witnesses,
but on the wholesale evidence sup
plied by her enemies as soon as the
war broke out. Our people feel they
have the right to expect at least a
suspension of judgment until the
proper means of communication an
again established.
Tho cutting of the cable was a
wanton act which all neutrals disap
proved. I hope America will soon
find the way clear to re-establish this
communication, tho suspension of
which has been of ns much injury to
her as to us.
"Germany Is fighting half the
world, with her back agMnst tho wall.
and almost completely Isolated from
the rest of tho world. Because wa
were well prepared for this conflict.
becauso wo kept our soli clear of the
foe, we have been charged with Na
