Fireproof barrels aro made In Ha

"Lumboring is my business, the
source from which my cash comes,
and pure-blooded stock Is so far only
a hobby on which I'm likely to spend
a bit of the surplus, but I'll wager
tho day Is coming when the dairy
business in Klamath county will
havo tho lumber Industry backed off
tho map as a producer of commun
ity wealth," said William Bruy, ono
of the organizers of the recently
formed Premium Dairy company,
yesterday.
From which point the lumberman
rodo his hobby through miles after
miles of lush alfalfa growth, dotted
with bursting silos, and covored with
modern dairy barns, housing herds
of blue-blooded Holstolns and Jer
soys, supplying a scoro of cheese fac
tories, creameries and evaporating
plants, establishing a payroll of
Standard Oil proportions and bulg
ing tho pockolsot hundreds of pro
ducers with fat weekly croam and
milk checks.
"The reasons for Klamath county
becoming a rich dairy center aro
right beneath our cyesT If wo will
only sco them," said Mr Bray, who
Is not a dreamer by any means, but
a practical hard-hoadod man of bus
iness. "Cheap feed and plenty of
it, a vast, potential Irrigated acre
ago, favorable weather conditions,
puro and plentiful water supply. It's
only tho question of gotting tho right
kind of a start and putting a united
shoulder to tho wheol to make the
dairy business the greatest source
of wealth In tho community."
Tho Premium Dairy company, in
which, besides Mr. Bray, H. H. Van
Valkenburg, E. R. Rcamos, O. J.
Ferguson, B. E. Wlthrow and G. E.
Zimmerman aro Interested, owns 400
acres, just south of Chelsea. Fonr
adjoining places were recently pur
chased tho Zimmerman, Jarvls, Al
lison and McKillop ranches.
At present 30 hoad of mixed cows
aro being milked, but Bray has al
ready started to replace theso with
registered Holsteins. He spent a
veek at the Pacific International
Livestock Bhow at Portland and
made arrangements for a carload of
blue-blooded Holstein heifers for de
livery in tho spring and in the
meantime expects to pick up another
carload of the best blood obtainable,
so that tho dairy will start with a
hord of 50 Holstein bolters in all
likelihood.
"Tho next step will be to chooso
a fitting sire," ho said, "and when
wo get Into tho market for an ani
mal to head our herd ho is going to
bo tho best obtainable, regardless of
prico."
Tho scheme for housing and safe
guarding tho health and safety of
these aristocrats is worthy of their
rank. Flans aro already being
drawn for modern barns, with ce
ment floors, and a skylight above
ovory stall to let in the germ-chasing
sunlight.

wards, made of barracks and set in
the beautiful grounds of Prince Mir-
ko's palace, are being added to the
liosnital. A section of the hospital
will be devoted especially to tho
treatment of children.
To the only boys' school in Podgo
ritza there is being added a large
dormitory barracks. Hundreds ;
mountain boys, eager for education
tramp into Podgoritza to attend this
school, but they do not have money
for lodgings and so thoy must sleep
in barns or open fields. After school
thoy walk down the roads studying,
regardless of the weather. The dor
mitory will accommodate all those
boys, and will be within a stone's
throw of tho school.
For the younger boys, mostly or
phans who live about the market
place, a school colony 1b being built.
It Is a small group of buildlng3, in
which the boys will sleep, be fed, bo
taught lessons and given vocatfu ml
training. Just as soon as this col
ony has been organized, and is func
tioning well, It will be turned over
to some Montenegrin relief organi
zation to operate.

and other contagious disease and if
unablo to stand the most rigid ex
amination cannot pass the bounda

All the stock on the place will be
disposed of after a test for tubercu
losis, and so far do Mr. Bray's Ideas
oxtend along provontlon lines that it
is said the company is prepared to
burn all tho old buildings on the
place and start brand new If It
seoms necessary to effectually stamp
out disease.
"I learned to love the pure-blooded
Holstein dairy stock back in my
native state of Wisconsin, the ban
ner Holstein state of the country,"
said Mr. Bray, "and I expect to get
a great amount of pleasure from
this venture. It's merely a hobby
with me, as I said before, but watch
its development and remember my
prediction that in a decade or two
the dairy woalth of the Klamath Ba
sin will have the incomo of the lum
ber trade looking like a white chip
In a millionaire's jackpot."
There'll be blood on the moo
Monday night, according to today's
atmospheric indications the moon,
that is, that shines through tho win
dows of the council chamber at the
city hall, where the council will be
in session Monday evening to con
sider the next move, now that the
voters have turned down the admin
istration's request for more cash to
conduct the city's business during
the coming fiscal year.
One policeman will be the city's
sole guardian under the retrench
ment policy that is being openly dis
cussed by members of the council
if a man can be found to hold the
Job. There Is some doubt that a
man can be found willing to shonl
'der so much responsibility.
One fireman probably the pres
ent chief to take care of the appa
ratus will be the limit in the fire de
partment, trhe rest of the flre-flght-jing
personnel will be strictly volunteers.
So, also, In the street department,
the cut will be to the bone, leaving
one man on duty.
Mayor Struble, who has been giv
ing his whole time to his office, be
fore the election' was openly an
nouncing that if the voters turned
down the tax levy Increase he was
going to unlock his tool chest and
go back to the carpenter's trade
holding down the mayor's chair on
meeting nights only. The public is
keenly watching the mayor to see It
he meant what he said.
Mills addition is yelling for the
right of the weaker peoples to be free
from the domination of the greater,
it is said. In other words, the citi
zens of Mills addition are for self
determination and the right to se
cede. It the sewer bond issue car
ried, which seems poisible, it may
placate that part of the community,
but their woes are but a drop in the
bucket of grief that is likely to be
soused on the shoulders of the body
politic when the council gets Its re
trenchment policy to working.
With all tho funds depleted, some
overdrawn, and with only a 15-mill
rate to raise money for next year,
the council sees no relief in sight
anywhere.
In the words of the swashbuckler.
"Tho devil's to pay and no pitch
hot," or, in the more refined lan
guage of tho mayor, "We're
against it and that Is all there is t
it."
If tho council strips all the de
partments to their last member, they
can't make that member take the
job unless he wants to, and if he is
overworked on one hand and not
sure that the salary fund will hold
out long enough to 'cash his pay;
check on the other, well then
Well, then .it's likely to be an in
teresting session of the mayor's caln
lnet Monday night.
