Teuipornry suspension of the meat
less monl and announrament of other
changes has beon made by the food
I administration at a readjustment of
'its food conservation program. In
creased meat production and tbe ne
cessity for still greater aavlng In
wbo.it, It was declared, make the
change advisable.
The suspension la made effective
for mi Indefinite period, and It prob
ably will last three month or longer.
Hlnce all restrictions on consump
tion of. mutton and lamb had been
lifted previously, the food admlnls
Mutton now asks the public for the
time being to deny Itself In meat
onlyliud pork one day a week Tues
day. Increased meat consumption, food
administration officials believe, will
of llsnlf curtail the use of wheat, and
for the present there la no Intention
to mid to the restrictions already In
forco against tbe use of flour.
In a statement aettlng forth the
rousoiiH for tho change In program,
Food Administrator Hoover said the
alllei huvo mado further and Increas
ed demands for breadstuff, these en
larged demands being caused to some
degree by shortage In arrivala from
the Argentine. "It U, therefore, nec-n-mary
for tho food administration to
urge n still further reduction In the
conmimptlon of bread and breadstuff
generally, if we are to meet our ex
port necessaries" the statement aays.
Newa says that tho question of Jap
aneso Intervention In Siberia la set
tled, nnd that nil allies, Including the
l.'nllrd Btnte. hnvo agreed to Imme
diate action to safeguard the Intereota
of the powers.

SLOW TO REPLY
TOGOVERNMENT
CHAIRMAN OF THIRD LIBERTY
I.OAN ASSERTS THAT MANY
REPORTS OF INFORMATION HE
QUESTED BY FEDRUTRY 33TH
ARE NOT IN
Tbe work of posting tbe Informa
tion desired by tbe government to be
used lu the next Liberty Loan drive is
being delayed by tbo failure of aome
employers of labor to send In their
list of employes as requested, accord
ing to Chairman Cbaa. 3. Ferguson.
Tbe campaign Is scheduled for April
6tb, and prior to this time ull the
cards have to be posted and bo passed
on by tbe distribution committee.
This Information waa asked for by
February J5tb, but many have failed
to respond. Mr. Ferguson declared
that a list Is kept on Ale In Liberty
Loan headquarters and delinquents
will be reported to the treaeury de
partment It the Information la not
forthcoming promptly. Employers
should at once send In their lists to
Liberty Loan headquarters, as tbe
government Is determined to let
nothing Interfere with this work, and
will deal vigorously with those who
obstruct the work, he said.
"It Is, and will be considered, just
as aerlous to obstruct tbe work of the
Liberty Loans as to obstruct the work
of the military forces. Many people
have not as yet realised that the gov.
ernment Intenda to leave nothing un
done to accomplish the winning of
the war, and will not tolerate any act
which tenda to obstruct, delay or in
terfere with thla purpose. Employers
should therefore act Immediately, or
they will And themselves called upon
to face serious charges. It Is to be
hoped that no employer of labor In
Klamath County will require other
than the request for this Information,
but some of tbem will have to hurry."

IXG IS OVER
MAR8HFIELD, March 3. As a
result of a conference between mill
ownera of tbl vicinity with members
of tbe staff of Colonel Brlce P. Dlsque,
hoad of tbe government'a spruce pro.
ductlon campaign in the Northwest,
spruce logs In what Is known as class
three will no longer, be cut by some
el tbe mills, but Will be stored In
booms.
Other mills cutting spruce will be
urged to adopt tbe plan outlined at
this conference. Hitherto logs of all
classes have been cut-In tbe mills.
The percentage of acceptable airplane
spruce In tbe class three logs Is said
to be ajmoit'ifegllglble, and tbey will
be eliminated la tbe future before
aawlng, and will be boomed for later
cutting, when the haste of getting out
airplane material 1 past.
Uy cutting only tbe best grade
toga the amount of airplane material
turned out can be Increased by a
very large percentage, it I believed.
Plan have been made, to bring
about thirty soldiers of the spruce di
vision to tbe Conlogue csmp on the
Coqullle River. They will not arrive
for several weeks.

CITY SUES

AT 11TH ST.
KLAMATH CANAL COMPANY IS
MADE DEFENDANT IN ACTION
FOR FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
BY CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS
DEED OF EASEMENT MADS I.V
1WM TO CORPORATION BY
TOWN TRUSTEES ALLKOED TO
ASSURE THIS CONSTRUCTIOX.
BOND FOR SS.VM GIVEN
Alleging that a bond for 15,600
given In return for a deed of ease
ment permitting tbe Klamath Canal
company to construct a canal thru the
city property ahould be paid because
of the failure of this company to ful
fill Ita obligations, a ault for thla
amount has been flled by tbe City of
Klamath Falls against thla corpora
tlon thru Ita attorney, R. C. G roes
beck, In tbe office of the Circuit Court
clerk.
It is asserted that In return for the
privilege of building tbe canal, tbe
Klamath Canal company agreed,
among other things, to construct a
bridge across Eleventh street when
the city officials should determine
that this was necessary. Tho agree
ment was 'signed by the Klamath
Canal company and tbe board of town
trustees, according to the allegation
on December 6, 1904.
Since this agreeeaent was made tbe
properties of the Klamath Canal com.
pany have been taken over by the
United States remamatlon service.
But failure of attempts to get tbe
bridge constructed has cauaed thla
action against the original holders of
tho property.
It Is expected that defendaata in
tbe suit will contend that their obli
gations In tbe matter ceased when
tbe property went out of tbelr hands,
but this Is a matter that will have to
be settled In the courts.
