THE SEASON LOOKS GOOD
Tho first game of. the 1917 season
for the Klamath Palls baseball team
wus it victory for the local aggregation
over ihe Yalnax Indiana. A fair crowd
was out, considering the weather, and
that tho game was only, a practice
gnmc.
The Klamath team had but four of
tholr regulars on the Held, but showed
promising material there. Mickey
Blinder, the team's hew twlrler, was
on the mound, and though the day was
cold and there waa little' necessity
for showing much, he unwound a few
that looked good and put In a good
day's work.
Clarke was on the receiving end and
Cook in the, line-up. Klamath's bat
tery prospects for the season look
good, although Inability to practice
so far has kept the boys from letting
batting practice. A let-up .by eld J.
Pluve would make him a favorite wits
the locals.

CIRCUIT JUD6E
PERMANENT INJUNCTION
QUEST IS REFUSED
RE.
Judge Kuykendall Holda That Points
Brought Up, In Power Company'
Complaint Can Be Tried In Trial,
If Brought, and Election Need Not
Be Interfered With, Caualng Later
Special Election Expenae to City.
The demurrer filed by the city and
the Kcno Ppwer Company to tbe ef.
feet that there was not sufficient
grounds to sustain a permanent In
Junction In the complaint filed by tbe
California-Oregon Power Company to
stop Police, Judge Leavltt from placing
tbe two power franchises on the ballot
for the election on May 7th waa sus
tained by Judge Kuykendall in the
circuit court Saturday afternoon in a
decision give at 5 o'clock.
The judge holds that tbe points
brought in by the power company's at
torney Saturday,' when the case was
irgued, could as well be argued on a
trial of the caseif brought.-following
the election, and ordered" 1haT the
franchiaea may be placed on the ballot
for the election. Stoppage" of this
would necessitate a special election
and each additional expense acorn
panying and that it la unnecessary to
bold up tho election, be said.
The arguments In the case were
heard late Saturday afternoon, with
the city, Keno Power Company an dthe
California-Oregon ' Power Company
represented.
Attorney Stone, for the Keno Power
company, neia mat an initiative rran
chlse. Is not subject to the city ordl
nance requiring that these be pub
lished twice in full In the city .official
paper and was joined by-City Attor
ney Qroesbeck in the contention that
It would be impossible to comply with
the city, Keno Power Company and the
Initiative presented ordinance.
Attorney Ferguson, for tho Califor
nia-Oregon Power Company, contend
ed that the' city is compelled to so ad
vertise their ordinances.
Judge Kuykendall pointed out that
the wording of the city charter and
the rights of the city under tho initia
tive and referendum state law con
flict to some extent and that the Indi
vidual case would govern' a decision
on those points.
The pamphlets containing the fran
chises In full aro in course of being
printed for distribution to the voters,
under the state law, at this time.
