IMPROVED
O. W. Robertson of the Klamath
Falls Steam Laundry and the
White Pelican Mineral Spring"
company, left for San Francisco
Monday. His visit to the Bay City
had for Its object the consummation
of extensive plans for the enlarge
ment of the plant.equlpmcnt and
buslnesa of his two companies. He
has nlready Instructed his architect
to prepare plans and aped Beat lens
for a concrete laundry building
which will bo erected alongside of
the present structure.
While in California he Is going to
visit tho leading laundries- of the
various cities for the pujrposo ot
gathering ideas about, arrangement
of the equipment that is to bo in
stalled, with tho object in view of
having the most complete, sanitary
and convenient laundry on the
Coast.
His intention now is to build on a
unit plan, the first unit being of
sufficient capacity to care for the
business of a city of 5,000. When
the time comes tor enlargement, all
that will be necessary is to add the
second unit, without the necessity of
Agont Thomas and tho farmers of
tho Bonanza district, including Hll-rearranging the first or interfering
witn tho operation of the laundry,
Many lnovations will be, installed,
in keeping with the advanced ideas
now being adopted by sp many ot
the concerns that employ female help
As soon as the new laundry is
completed and In operation, the
building now being used for that
purposo will be completely remodel
ed and will he used by the Mineral
Springs company. While Mr.
Robertson is in tho south he will
place an order for a completo equip
ment of automatic bottling mach
inery. This new equipment will be
in keeping with his plans for the
laundry and will have sufficient capa
city to care for present and pros
pective business for several years.
Mr. Robertson recognizes tho fact
that Klamath Falls is to become the
distributing center of this territory
as soon as tho contemplated railroad
construction is completed and he is
going to be ready to divert all ot the
bottling business to this city.
Already by his lndefatiguable en
ergy ho has succeeded in bringing to
this city thousands of dollars that
prior to his entrance Into the bottl
ing business were sent to Portland
and San Francisco. It Is with thr
Idea of keeping this business and
expanding into all of tbe new terri
tory this ts to be opened up that he
plana upon the enlargement of both
his laundry and bottling 'works, i

LARGE N
E
DEARS LECTURE
Dr. Louise M. Richtor addressed
a good sized audience of girls and
women at the opera house last even
ing on a most difficult topic to
handle before such an audience.
Dr. Rlchter was one ot 240 wom
en appointed during the war by the
United States government to help
educate the girls and women of the
country, and to arouse public senti
ment to the point where the double
standard of morality will be abol
ished.
At tho close of the war, and while
she was supposed to be on vacation,
Dr. Rlchter was requested, by the
Oregon State Hygiene Society to give
a course of talks within the state
of Oregon along social lines, and the
careful attention given to her ut
terances last evening shows that her
message is one that is much needed
in the community and is given much
earnest and respectful attention.
There was not a mother present
last evening who did not wish that
every young girl of her acquaintance
could be brought in touch with Dr.
Rlchter and learn her message, for
she has a method of telling the truth
In such a way that it goes straight
to the heart as well as to the intel
ligence of her hearers.
Dr. Rlchter will' talk again this
afternoon to the girls ot the high
school, and it may be possible that
arrangements can be made with the
Oregon State Hygiene society to
send speakers here occasionally for
the benefit of both the boys and the
girls of our community. The'women
of this town have been planning to.
have a work of this kind inaugu
rated and the first steps are now
properly taken.

tered by Attorney Rosenfeld, former
Prussian minister of justice, that,
despite the months that have passed
since the revolution, the abdication
of the emperor and tho overthrow
ing of 30 or more princes and prince
lings, kings and what-nots, the
streets of Berlin still bear in inor
dinately large numbers the names ot
royalty.
He cites a few, such as Kaiser
Wiihelm street, a Koenlg, a Fried'
rich, a Karl, Prince Louis Ferdi
nand, Prince and Princess streets
. The -name of former military
leaders and generals should go also,
he argues, citing such streets as Zie-
ten, Bulecher, Gnelsenau, Scharn
horstfi Moltke and others. He ob
jects also to the naming of streets
after the military, such as the Drag'
oner (dragoons) and the Jaeger

The Ewauna Box company made
the announcement this morning tkat
it will begin tho immediate cob
struction ot a sawmill on the elte
Immediately' adjoining its bor"M-
tory. This step has Been unoer con
sideration for many months, nut tae

Qawmill TCneineerinK COBBirttC-
fcompany, and call for a mill with
an ultimate capacity of 80,000 feet

vnr. It Is impossible to secure the
necessary machinery, and the start
is to be made with a dally capacity
of about 40,000 feet. When conv
pleted the mill will have one band
and one gang. In discussing the
new plant, Mr. Hunter said:
"It is the Intention of the Bwaa
na company to install one of the
most modern mills to be found any
where. The machinery will be elec
Heailv driven and will contain ev
ery device known to modern mills
for the elimination of waste, for the
promotion 'of efficiency and the re
duction ot cost. Every precamUoa
is to be taken to make It as nearly
fireproof possible and when com
pleted it will stand as a model
among tbe mills of this district. ,
"Due to the fact that we caaaot
get the equipment, the capacity of
the mill at the beginning will be
about halt ot what It is going to be
when finally completed. The start
is to be made with a circular saw.
but as soon as the equipment can
be secured) this will be changed to
a band and a gang. It is the pres
ent expectation to have the plant
running about January 1." .
This is the first of the eight saw
mills and box factories that are go
ing to be located In and adjacent
