the county wero sitting quietly by
their fireside and dreaming of what
thoy hoped their grandchildren would

county court nnd county engineer, C.
T. Darley, wore busy. The latter
was summoned from Bonanza last
Sa'turday by tho county court and a
lovlow ot the present financial situa
tion as It applies to Klamath county
was had. It was discovered that for
tho past two years Klamath county
lias been asleep and thousands of
dollars of stato road mon)y has
slipped away from it that should have
j been spent hero. "Jump-on the train
lu the morning," said the county
court to Darley. "and don't come
back unless you bring with you
$800,000." "I'll do It." said Dar.ley,
and not stopping to get grip, clothes
or anything else ho.beut It for Silem
and thcro he Is making tho fight for
KlnmitTh that will mean' hundreds of
thousands of dollars for roads down
In that part of Oregon that wants to
Join California it it is not given tho
financial help this section deserves.

Tho message to the County Court
could not be delivered to Judgo Bun

tho manager of the Western Union,
by some mysterious telepathic Influ
ence, caught the spirit of the thing,
und reached the Judge on the phone
und delivered the message to him. IIo
dropped everything and came to the
city and wired Mr. Darley to proceed
to Tho Dalles. In the meantime tho
offlcors of tho Good Roads Associa
tion could not locate Judge Bunnell,
so they also wired Mr. Darley that his

Darley ho will bo at The Dalles to

may rest ussured that ho will make a

That Kalph Cnrier and Forest
Fell, two woll known Klamath Falls
boys who have been In the Ambul
ance Corps since the outbreak of the
war with Germany and who havo
seen much active fighting, are now
on their way home, Is the glad news
received this morning over tho cable
wires by Mm. O. L. Carter, mother of
the former. Mr. Carter was fomerly
connected with the Whitman Drug
Company while Mr. I'lel was City
Editor of the Evening Herald. From
the contents of their letters already
received It Is known that the boys
will have some mighty interesting
experiences to relate on their nrrlv.
al. The two have been together
since their enlistment. Both were re
fused by the regular army for physi
cal reasons so they enlisted in the
Ambulance Corps together, and got
into the fighting anyway
MAN IS ARRESTED
ON LIQUOR CHARGE
The arrest or Mac Powers pn a
charge or a violation of tbe State
Prohibition law was made yesterday
morning by Federal Officer, J. E.
Flanders. Powers-was arraigned yes
terday in the office or Justice N. J.
Chapman and placed under bonds of
five hundred dollars. His hearing is

o'clock.
BUDGET BASIS
Assistant District Attorney W. S.
Wiley has returned from Medford,
and in pursuance to the Information
he gathered there, the county court
has ls&ued an order placing the coun
ty on a budget basts. At a conference
of all of the Interested county offi
cials yesterday, an order to this ef
fect was made by the county court".
In addition thereto, the county court
has created a. rund which shall be
known as a "Current Expense Fund,"
out ot which will bo paid- the cur
rent, expenses or the county not pro
vided tor in tho specific allotments
made. This fund cannot be used for
any other purpose and shall be ex
pended only upon order of the coun
ty court. ' This fund is an absolute
necessity, so that money may be on
hand to meet the bills created for In.
cldentaT expenses or caused by some
emergency, such as the '.influenza
situation this year.
Tho placing of the county on a bud
get basis clears the situation effect
ively as to the financial situation ot
tho county, Klamath county is now
on n cash basis. When a warrant Is
Issued the holder knows, the monoy Is
on hand to meet It. The old warrants
will bo retired by special levies, nud
will be cared for Just us quickly as
though the old General Fund pro
gram had been continued, Another
big advantage to the county lies lu
tho fact thut there will be no padding
of bids to guard against tfosslblo de
lay In payment of, or discounting
warrants. Every niun who does bus
iness with tho county 'from now on
will absolutely know that he cun get
his money promptly and for the full
face of his warrant.
As to the old warrants, Jidge Bun
nell stated that ho Is very anxious to
clear up tltut situation and will bend
every energy to that end. It Is his
desire to seo the county pay every
dollar represented by warrants, al
ready Issued, Including that stolen
trom the warrant holders through the
practice ot discounting warrants,
ovon If he has to go before the legis
lature and secure special legislation
to onablo the county to do this act
of honor and Justice

iller Will II.it c Charge of Big
Truck Suits, Boot and Fire Hose
to Be Purchased Dance Soon.
That the Klamath Falls Fire De
partment which has been allowed to
dwindle in numbers during the per
iod of the war, when nearly all the
young men were away In the military
service, will be "revived and put in
the greatest possible state of effl.
ciency, was decided at a meeting -last
night when the city council met
with about twenty active young fel
lows who wish to co-operate in theN
work of protecting the community
from the fire menace.
Jess Hunsaker, who has Just re
turned from service In France Is to"
have charge of the fire truck, assist
ed by Clay Wilson and the new men
are already on the Job. "
The rooms for the fire boys In the
City Hall are to be fixed up In good
shape and the Council will take steps
to get tho members new suits and
boots. The fire hose which is aid
to be In a worn out condition will
also be replaced at an early date.
As the financial condition of the
treasury is at this time, very, low,- it
Is plumed to give a big dance
in the very near future tbe
proceeds of which will probably re
lieve t'hls situation. Details of this
affair will be anonunced later.
Members of the city council urge
the business men, to get behind the
boys In their new move for better
service and aid them in every way
possible. ,
