Tho club is soeking now quarters and tho Christian church has agreed to donato tho uso of the church building if practical. A committee from tho chnrch has been invited to be prcsont tonight, inspect the ap paratus and, work so that it may docido whether the church building will accommodate the club's equip ment. Schools will be dismissed at noon tomorrow, the school authorities having granted the request of Chief Miller for such action so that the pupils may assist in the Clean-up drivo which will thoroughly cover tho city. Tomorrow, by proclama tion of Mayor Strubble, is clean-up and Fire Prevention Day. Extra wagons will be put on by the city garbage collector to haul all unsalable refuse. Householders aro asked to havo all rubbish con voniently piled, either at the street line or in the alley, so that the wag ons may conveniently collect it. Rags, newspapers, bottles and metal Junk of commercial value will bo gathered by the children. Ar rangements have bden made to re ceive alt salable stuff at First and Klamath streets. "We hope to reduce the fire haz ards considerably in tomorrow's drive," said Chief Miller this morn ing. ''All citizens are asked to co operate. Backed by the mayor and city council the fire department has fixed upon this Clean-up and 'Fire Prevention Day plon as the best possible way of ridding the city of rubbish quickly, but without' tho co operation of householders in clean lng up their premises and placing the rubbish where the wagons can get It, either at tho street line or In tho alleys, wo will fail to get tho maximum results. If we make it a thorough clean-up at this .time, we can look for less Are damage this winter, and next spring thoro will not be such an accumulation ot trash to dispose of by the spring clean-up. Mrs. Mnry Stonohole, a member of one of tho Klamath reservation tribes, but whoso husband Is of the Pitt River trlbo and lives at Canny, Modoc county, California, was in stantly killed when a team rna away and overturned tho wagon In which sho and her husband were riding r.ear Bartletf Springs on thu Modoc grade yesterday. Dr. A. A. Soulo was called from this city and dressed the Injuries of tho husband, who suffered severe scalp wounds when ho was dragtreJ against the side of the' rocky grade. The man's injuries were not serious, although the" wounds bled profusely and he was somewhat weakened. Eighteen stitches were necessary to closo the major gashes. Coroner Whltlock also msdo a trip to the place of the accident, and made an investigation which show ed that tho death of tho woman re sulted entirely from accident. Technically, as the accident happen ed Just Inside the reservation boundary, the; coroner was beyond Jurisdiction and no formal Inquest was held. If "such an Inquiry is made it is within the Jurisdiction ot the federal officials of the reserva tion to make it. The facts gathered showed that Mr. and Mrs. Stonehole had ome from Modoc county to visit rela tives and look after the wife's property interests at Yainax. They were returning to California, and driving n team, one of which was very fractious. As they neared the foot of the grade a passing freight train scared the horses, ' which whirled about in the road and up set the wagon. The occupants were thrown out, both striking on "their heads. The woman suffered in juries from which, the doctor'sox- amlnation showed,' she died instant ly The accident was witnessed by Leighton Sutton, who had stopped his auto about a hundred yards a vay when he saw the wagon approaching and was advancing to lead the horses by his machine when the train came along.

H. Edmonds, Captain J. 'W. Siemens. That is a mere statement of the facts connected with the incorpora tion of the first of tho companies to be brought into being because of the construction of the Oregon, Califor nia and Eastern railroad. While the Slemens-DuFault timber is not Included in the assets of the com pany, It will undoubtedly eventual ly become a part of the holdings of the company or be the source of supply for the logs needed, for the operations. No decision has been reached as to where the mill is to be located, but it the city had a Chamber of Commerce, it might be in a position to convince the promoters of this enterprise that It would be im- mensly to the advantage of the en terprise to build close to Klamath Falls, and might even be in a posi tion to submit for consideration several available sites at figures that would justify a purchase' by the men whose money is going into the enterprise: That there are to be many .other plants of a similar nature to grow out of tho construction of the Stra- horn Is certain, for there aro alreayd several of them in the formative state. It will be unfortunate if these are permitted to be located out in the timber instead of close to the city, where tho fun benefit of the development will accrue to Klamath Falls. v CHICAGO. Nov. 6. Tho dispute between the nation's bituminous coal miners and operators, which has re sulted in vlrffial cessation of pro duction throughout tho country, to day remained deadlocked. Loaders of both the producers and miners agreed that the blunt refusal of tho Department of Justice to withdraw injunction proceedings against tho officers of the United Mine Workers of America had swept away all hopo or immediate settlement ot tho strike. General conditions surround ing the strike remained unchanged today. There were no reports-of disorder or vandalism. WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 6. Information in the hands of gov ernment officials indicated an In crease In bituminous coal produc tion, especially in West Virginia. Further defection of the union forces was noted in the early morning reports. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Nov. 6. Frank Farrington, chief of the Mem bers' Scale committee, expressed an opinion that John L. Lewis, presi dent of tho United Mine Workers, would not have authority to call off the strike of the coal miners, even though directed to do so by court mandate. Washington dispatches suggested this might be done. 667 712 791 Houston's 1st 2nd 3rd Tot. L. Houston.... 158 165 169 492 Mitchell 132 169 121, 422 Lennox 175 147 187 509 DeLap 151 176 151 478 W.
