Firemen Appointed Ordinance
Against Sunday Dancing rawed.
That the California-Oregon Power
company will proceed at an early date
to replace the four-Inch water main
from Commercial street easterly on
Sixth street with a six-Inch main,
which will afford more adequate Are
protection for the Sixth street Indus
trial district, was made known at the
city council meeting last night.
This action follows the recent de
structive blase on October 9th, when
it was found that the present main Is
not sufficient to cone with a large fire.
The Are chief filed his report last
evening, which Included the big
Ewauna Ore and the fire at the Klam
ath Auto Springs works. The ex
pense of the big fire October Oth was
$300, aside from the loss of some
hose. Of this amount $85 was apent
to extinguish the fire In the sawdust,
and the Big Lakes Box company as
sumed halt the sum. The Standard
Oil company donated to the city its
bill of $30 for products of varloua
kinds furnished during the Are, with
an expressed appreciation of the
valiant efforts of the Bremen during
the fire.
A permit was Issued to George
ntehn to erect a two story brick gar.
ige at Ninth, and Main streets. The
spoclflcallons exhibited show n Une
plate glass front for auto display and
also auto accessories. An entrance
will be provided on Ninth atreet,
where the filling station will be
placed. The estimated cost of the
structure Is In the neighborhood of
$15,0,00.
Permits were also Issued to M. S
West for the construction of a mod
ern bungalow, at a cost of fl.soo.
and to E. B. Sedge tor a garage and
woodshed.

Rufus Moore brought In a com
plaint that the holes dug by tbe Xeno
Power company last year on West
Main street for their poles bad never
been filled, and that tba poles were
stilt strewn along tbe roadway. TJke
matter was referred to tbe atreet de
nartment for Immediate attention
and correction.
The committee appointed to look
into tbe dike on tbe Upper Klamath
Lake reported that this dike ahould

PRESENT OPPORTUNITY
SHOULD BE GRASPED
Aa the years go gliding along, anil the property In and around Klam
ath Falls grows more valuable, and the various scenic spots are picked for
one ae and another, the citizens' hero are letting one of the most golden
opportaaltles gradually slip thru their fingers that was ever open to a
community.
That a city ahould mature In tills day and age along the shore of a
beautifal sheet of water such aa Lake Ewauna, withoHt a public park of
any description provided for present and future generations, seems ter
ribly unfortunate. Many cities with a realisation of the posslbUltle
fairly thrown at .Klamath Falls would willingly give up their main streets
for the chance we are letting go by.
Pendleton Is growing famous by her annual roundups Portland
draws half the Northwest every seksou with her rose carnival shows, and
many other up-to-date places emphasize their attractiveness by some event
In whkh the pabtlcitr alone Is of inestimable value. Klamath Falls
should seise her chance to get Into this game before It is too late, and pro
vide ample, accommodations to carry out some similar program by which
the world outside will learn of this wonderful country. People have gone
by it for the last seventy-live years for lean attractive places, Just because
they did not know it-was here, and they will coattnae to .uo,unles we
adopt the methods of our neighbors.
Now is the time for the city to
where along the lake front, where a wonderful park and recreation
grounds ran be laid out and built up as resources permit. With the un
equalled aquatic possibilities offered on the lake a good quarter mile
track and other athletic accommodations, annual Olympic games might
be held here which would bring just as Urge gatherings as now assemble
at Pendleton or other places. The matchless scenery adjacent to tbe city
would soon be so celebrated as to bring in ten tourists where we now see
out. One can picture eudlessly the beneficial results that would follow
such a move. There is really no argument against It. If Klamath Falls
eaa build a railroad which centers the attention of the whole Pacific Coast
ahe can certainly provide a park.
The shores of our beautiful lake wlU soonbe lined with mills. Let's
get busy before It Is too late.

INDIANS SWELL
CHRISTMAS FUND
The fact that the Indians on tbe
Klnmath reservation are contribut
ing funds for Christmas presents for
the soldiers at the front Indicates the
wide Interest which is being taken in
this move. 'Tnetlargest contribution
made thus far from this source has
been turned in by Elmer Lynch ot
Beatty, who tendered tbe ladies of
the local Red Cross Society $5 for
this purpose.
The public generally Is responding
In a most generous manner to tbe
sale of tickets for the Red Cross
dance Friday evening at the Elks
Club. The proceeds of this dance are
to be used for ChrUtmas presents.
One member of the society disposed
of thirty-five tickets In less than an
hour. A fine time Is assured-for all
who attend, and the guests will have
the double satisfaction ot knowing
J that their admission fees are being
jused In a noble eause.
