the city and high Bchool boards of

aro those neodlng prompt attention.
Some of thu changeH can ho carried

pleted, Bays tho chlof a Borlous llro
danger exists.
Flro drills In tho dlfforont hcIiooIh
wcro vory satisfactory, said Mlllor.
Tho Contral Bchool, 32G to 3G0 pu

seconds, and tho Mills addition

Following his Investigation of tho
schools, Mlllor gave out tho follow
ing statement, calling addition to
the sorlouB flro menace that exists:
"Every morning, noon and ovon
lng tho hundrodB of school children
passing through tho streets of our
city mako an appeal to our highest
Instincts of sympathy anil protec
tion, but If that nppoal Is not prop
erly Interpreted and heeded some
day sor.io of our schools may become
charnol houses Instead of affective
agencies for human advancoment.
"I do not doslro to frighten nny
ono, I do not doslro to croato n
bogey whero none exists, hut I do
claim that danger exists' In tho pub
lic schools of Klamath Palls and I
want to do my duty In pointing it
out.
"Statistics show us that tho flro
loss to school buildings In this coun
try has reached into millions of dol
lars, and tho loss of Ilia to school
children has roachod Into tho thou
sands. Quo school houso dully is
tho average llro Iosb in tho United
States, statistics show. Now lot mo
assure you that tho flro risk in most
of tho school buildings of this city

tho lives of our nation's groutost

"Thoro aro somo people who have
treated excollontly safeguarded man
ufacturing and merchandising prop
erties, but thoy do not view tho
American child as worthy of tho
"mo protection us buildings, ma
chinery and goods. Possibly thoy
"Bub that children can walk out of
a burning building, whoroas goods
cannot. Generally In event of flro,
tho children do oscnpo, but occa
sionally heaps of charred bodies of

BIG INFLUX OF
WEALTHY TOURISTS
C. J. Ferguson returned last night
from a two week's business trip iu
Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and other
northern points. He says the
weather Is cold in the north
Travel is extremely heavy botn
north and south bound and all the
hotels are overflowing with tourists
Apparently many of the travelers
are eastern and middle western peo
rlo who are seeking homes in the
west.
Having prospered ln Industrial
and agricultural ventures during
the war they are seeking investment
for their money in a country whero
Und prices aro lower than in the
cast. As a consequenco berths on
trajins are unobtainable except
whon reserved ln advance, eating
places aro boosting prices and lod
fings aro as much in demand else
whore as thoy aro In Klamath
Falls, says Mr. Ferguson.

nounced and considering the inter
val that has elapsed since the last re
union It is likely to prove some sur
prlso. Mr. nnd Mrs. Griffith would not,
consider moving from Klamath
county, so they will be back some
time noxt spring. Mrs. Griffith has
two brothers In Georgia whom thoy
will visit n,nd Mr. Griffith has a
brother and two sisters in Georgia

Price, Five Cento
AD MEETING
WILL BE HELD
Klamath County Invited to Scad
Representatives to Conference to
Discuss Building of a Highway
Through Central Oregon
Invitation to participate with rep
resentatives of all other counties In
terested in a road conference to be
held at the Imperial hotel, Port
land, November 3, for the purpose
of laying plans to forward the con
struction of The Dalles-California
highway, was received yesterday by
tho Klamath county court and the
business men's association of this
city.
Telegrams stating the purposes of
the meeting, signed by County
Judge Barns of Deschute s county
and H. J. Overturf of tho Bend Com
mercial club were received by Les
lies Rogers, president of the local
business men's association, and
County Judge Bunnell, inviting lo
cal representation. One copy Bays:
"To secure immediate construction
of a road across central Oregon, a
i meeting of county courts and com-
merclal organizations of all the coun
ties affected is called for Monday,
November 3, at the Imperial hotel
in Portland. Please meet with the
representatives of the 'counties
through which the Dalles-California
highway passes in an effort to se
cure said construction.
"COUNTY JUDOE BARNS.
"H. J. OVERTURF,
"Bend Commercial Club."
As the state highway commission
meets In Portland next week, it is
assumed that the commissioners will
Join the conference. As it is too
late for active construction this year,
it Is probable that the work of the
meeting will consist in mapping out
the extent of the proposed improve
ment and laying plans for getting
work started as early as possible
next year.
"There Is a move on foot to raise
the bonding limit of the state4for
highway purposes from 6 to 15 per
cent of the assessed valuation,
which is to be submitted to the peo
ple's decision at a special election
next spring. The reasons for the
necessity of such Increase from the
standpoint of the highway commis
sion and tho effect upon road build
ing ln eastern Oregon will doubtless
be taken up.
Mr. Rogers was unable to say this
morning whether the business men's
association would be directly repre
sented. He thought it might be pos
sible to delegate tho entire repre
sentation of this county to the dele
gate sept by the county court.
EVANS PROVES
Lark N. Evans, arrested hqro Sun
day by local police on reqesut of
Sheriff C . E. Torrlll of Jackson
county, has proved a complete alibi
to the chargo of robbing wJb.
White, Grant's Pass Jitney driver,
and also cleared himself, of suspi
cion ' In connection' with tho dis
appearance of an aged prospector,
whose body was found near Jalccson
vllle several weeks ago. h
The officers believe that tho man
who robbed tho Jitney driver also
was responsible for the prospector's
death, but the man Is not Evans,
according to a telegram received by
tho Herald from Sheriff Terrill this ,
morning.
Evans told tho officers when
questioned here after his arrest that
he would be able to prove an nlibi
by the garage men for whom ho was
working in Medford on September
13, tho date of the 'jitney holdup,,
and from the sheriff's telegram it
appears that ho was able to do so.
For six weeks prior tqhls arrost
Evans, who is an automechanlc,
lived hero and was employed In local,
garages. , ' a
