The Induatry department of the Club ha apent a huay year, In an effort to build up tho community by providing more Induitrlr nnd pay roll. A steady effort has been made for two year to get a beet augar factory located In Klamath county. Knowing that this district Is cpecl- ally adapted to gar beet culture, that the neceary acreage I avail - able and rapidly Increa.lng and that the farmers would bo able to realize greater returns for their time and Investment wltb a plant here, the!' uiud nas soncieu mo attention ni every sugar beet firm of consequence! In the United States and the oppor tun lie of the district presented. One targe firm waa Interested to the extent of planting fifty experimental tract of beets throughout the county thli year with the understanding that a plant was to be Installed another venr If the results Justified coming In. The verdict of the company has ne: been received but tents and estimate made by different parties are all that could be desired In the face of an adverse season, so It Is hoped that the factory will materialize next spring. Our agricultural director wan of great assistance In forwnrdlng thl matter. Work for More l'ay Itolla. Much effort was made by the In dustrial department to reopen the 8avldge Brothers mill here as n cash and door factory. Twice during the year arrangements wero nearly com pleted, but obstacles appeared which frustrated the attempts, and the plant will be opened In the spring ns a box factory, employing 35 men. A systematic campaign has been made nlo for a packing plant, scouring mill, woolen mill and other Indus tries that the abundance of nw material makes practical for this district. Our advantages as a manufacturing center have been brought before tho outside public In ever manner possible and wo hazard the statement that no Industry of a variety we seek to In terest will tocnto elsewhere because of Ignorance of opportunities here.

The matter was taken under advlspmont and no report has been made to date. Tho advent of the new railroad hero will mako It dustrle needed here than heretofere: months, Interesting development news has appeared In the city papera through our agency.

Anknl County for Aid Relieving that the rexult of the, club' work In the past eighteen month wis appreciated by tho vot er of the county, and that a move for county maintenance of the organ ization would be well supported, even though a similar move at tho former election was decidedly swamped, a county amendment providing for one quartcr mill levy was placed on the ballot this fall. Owing to financial conditions, the club was unable to make an eitenslvo campaign In tho Interest of the incisure, but every way possible wn employed to awaken Interest in the voters throughout the r-unty The measure waa defeated at tlie poll by a very small margin, and while tho club members were sorely disappointed at the verdict of. me people, ine wonuenui increase 01 'favorable sentiment toward the weri: since the previous election demon strate the fact that It Is only a mat ter of a little time until the people of the county will grasp Iho situation and that nt the next election the coun ty will decide to maintain this work by n large majority. We believe that the question of the Club's future has been decided by this effort, although It will be obliged to subsist by other means for the next two years.
