An aura of Joy, which has envel
oped one of tho linotype machines
nt Tho Herald office for two days,
showed no signs of disappearing to
day, and an atmosphere of well-fed
lasHltudo pervudes the entire ofllco,
as tho result of tho Waltonlnn tri
umph of Frank Hector, linotype op
erator, over a 10V4-pcund rainbow
trout on Link river Sunday, and tho
consequent feeding of tho entire
Herald force on epicurean steaks
from tho piscatorial heuvywolght.
Hlccplng and waking, Hector
has been casting for tho defunct
rainbow, or one Just like him, for
the lust Boven years. Snow and cold
and hurdshlp, broken tackle and all
sorts of "llsherman's luck" fulled to
daunt tho nngler. When absont for
sovornt years from Klumnth Kails,
ho still In fancy pursued that Link
river trout. Friends smiled when ho
told tho old, old story of "tho big

Tho ralnbcw weighed 10 pounds

million dollar mark. Mr. Harrison

Ho Is a man of wido exporlenco and
extensive interests, and has como to
Klamath county for the purposo of
making an Invostmont In a stock
ranch. He drove through hero last
Bummer on hl way to California
and the attention of the man who
thinks that It does not pay to havo
good roads for tourists Is especially
cullod to this story. Continuing, Mr.
Harrison said:
'When I drovcT through this coun
ty last Bummer( I could not help but
bee tho wonderful possibilities hero
and decided to return at some fu
ture time and invest If I could find
what I wanted. I am hero to do that
very thing and one of tho most satis

It tolls mo volumes, as. It will toll

ENDORSES THE
ASHURST BILL
The Central Labor Council, after
hearing arguments for and against
tho proposed bill for opening tho
Klamath Indian reservation, unani
mously decided to ondorso tho Ash
urst bill, at its meeting last night.
Tho council was impressed by the
rrgument of Edward D. Ashurst,
sponsor for the bill, that it would
turn ovor tribal proporty only to
those Indians competent to manage
tholr own affairs; that others un
able to properly care for tholr prop
erty will bo looked after by tho gov
. ment.
Fred A. Baker spoke against the
bill. He said that posterity would
feel tho pernicious effects of this"
legislation it the bill goes through
In its rosent form. Ho calico, atten
tion to tho evil that would follow
tho deforestation of tho watorshed
should the big timber corporations
gain control of the Indians' land and
leg it without regard to the prin
ciples of good forestry.
Mr. Ashurst opened the debate for
tho bill, and Mr. Baker his argument
against it, after which Mr. Ashurst
(gain took the floor in rebuttal. Mr.
Ashurst laid stress on tho effect that
the local labor 'council's action
would have on futuro action by state
and national laior bodies, wtoo
would bo guided largely by the ac
tion, ho believed, of the labor clos
est to the scene of controversy.
After hearing the arguments, the
room was cleared of all but union
cclegatoU and tho council in exe
cutive session, endorsed the bill.
REAPER CALLS
NEW YORK, Dec. 2. Honry
Clay Frick, steel magnate, died at
his homo hero today from the re
sults of an attack of ptomalno pois
oning which ho suffered about a
month ago.
The career of Henry Clay Frick
has formed one of the most fascinat
ing chapters In tho romance of in
dustry in tho United States. At ton,
a boy on a farm in a family of only
ordinary means, ho was, at sixty,
a man of so many millions that his
fortune, liko those of Carnegie and
Rockefeller, was largely a matter of
guess-worki oven to himself. It has
been said ho was worth moro than
$100,000,000, perhaps as much as
$20000,000.
Mr. Frick built up tho greatest
coko business in tho world, and ac
quired such vast intorests in steal
that ho was also ono of tho principal
magnets in that industry, and in
rounding out his caroed he became
known as ono of tho world's greatest
collectors of master paintings.
He wns born Decombor 19, 1849,
nt West Overton, Pa. Early in life
be entered tho coko trade, then in
its infancy, and on its dovolopmont
founded his fortune.
Through the coko business ho be-

STAFF OF LIFE
E
After hesitating for weeks in the
hope that the cost of production
would take a drop, J. Hlrvl, of the
Hirvl Baking company made the an
nouncement this week of an increase-
in tho wholesale price of
bread to fifteen cents a loaf. This
has necessitated an advance In the
retail price to seventeen cents at
least that Is the price he is asking
tbe grocers to sell the bread for.
This increase in tho wholesale and
retail prices is the same as was
made some weeks ago in San Fran
Cisco and Portland, where the costs
are lower than here and where, af
tor a thorough Investigation, the au
thorlties admitted the new price was
Justified. Speaking of the change,
Mr. Hirvi said:
"I havo been losing money for
months and the time has como when
I can see no other'course to follow.
I am sorry that it has to bo done,
and the only thing I ask for is the
co-operation of the grocers and the
fair consideration of the public. Just
as soon as I can lower the price I
will do It."
The prospects of lower prices are
not very bright and Mr. Hirvi need
not anticipate any such a much-to-
be-desired reduction, for the reason
that there is a great scarcity of bak
er's flour and reports from Port
land are to the effect that by spring
the price of bread will be twenty
cents a loaf, or higher.
OWEILL-BAKER DEBATE
OPERA HOUSE TOJflGHT.
C. M. O'Neill and Fred A.
Baker will debate the Ashurst
bill for the opening of the
4 Klamath Indian Reservation to-
4 night at the Houston Opera
House. Mr. O'Noill upholds
4 the bill, while Mr. Ashurst op-
poses it stronglyj Tho argu-
ment will be worth listening to.
The meeting is open to all. Mr. 4
Ashurst will also speak for
the measure. The debate opens
at 8 o'clock. '
came associated with Andrew Car
negie, who was Just laying tho
foundations for the immense indus
try he later developed.
Besides large interests In the
United Steel Corporation Mr. Frick
was one of tho largest owners of
Pennsylvania railroad stock. He
was also a power in the Baltimore
& Ohio, Norfolk & Western and
other roads.
On December 15, 1881, Mr. Frick
was married to Miss Ada Howard
Childes of Pittsburg. Four children
were born to them; two boys and
two girls. Mrs. Frick, ono son and
one daughter survive.

IS COVERED BY
THE PRESIDENT
McftHngo to Sixty-sixth Oongrosa Rec
ommends Great Variety of Ad
vanced Legislation Radicalism la
Attacked Tariff Changes Urged
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. Genoral
recommendations on legislation to
combat tbo high cost of living, labor
unrest, radicalism and' measures
tending to a readjustment of the na
tion to a peace time basis were fea
tures of President Wilson's annual
message to the sixty-sixth Congress,,
delivered today.
The peace treaty, the President
told Congress, will be discussed, in. a
separate message later, as will tbe
railroad question. For the second
time only since the President estab
lished the practice of addressing'
Congress in person, the message to
day was read by clerks.
The President's principal recom
mendations Included: establish
ment of the budget system for na
tional finan'ces, re-organization of
the taxation system, with simplifi
cation of income and increased prof
its taxea and a readjustment of the
tarriff system, if necessary, to meet
changed industrial conditions.
Recognition of the services of the
veteran soldiers of the world war.
and relief for thera, particularly la
theway of government farms as pro
posed by Secretary Lane of the De
partment of the Interior, was
among the measures suggested.
An enlarged program for rural
development measures which will
remove causes for restlessness in the
body politic was touched on and. )h
President strongly renewed hi3 re
commendations for legislation to
deal with "those persons who, by
violent methods would abrogate our
time tested institutions."
Apparently having in mind' the
coal strike injunction order the
President in the message asserted
that, while tho right to strike is In
violate and should not be interfered
with by any government process,
there is a predominant right and
that is the right of tbe government
to protect all its people and to as
sert Its power and majesty against
any class.
The government, he said, when it
asserts that right, seeks not to an
tagonize a class, but simply 'to de
fend the rights of the whole people
against irreparable injury.
INNOVATION IN
CHURCH SERVICE
The congregation of tho M. H, k
church was treated to an impromp
tu service, very much in the nature
of an .innovation, Sunday evening,
when William Lowe Patton, Major
Mills and Miss Graham, taleuted
members of the Elllson-Whlto Chau
tauqua circuit took charge of tho
service.
Major Mills read an uplifting arti
cle entitled "The Falling Shadow,"
Miss Graham gave a roadlng of ono
of Kipling's poems and Mr. Patton
gave sevoral piano selections.
Tho Chautauqua artists happened
to be passing through the cltyv and
were recognized among the congre
gation at the morning service by tho
Rev. Mr. Chaney who asked them .
to tako charge of the evening sorv-s
Ice.
Tho result Is reported to haye
been highly pleasing to the audionce.
Major Mills, Miss Graham and Mr.
Patton will bo in Klamath Falls on
two or more occasions this year and
it is expected on tho occasion of
their coming visits to arrange mat
ters so that a larger audience can
hear them.
