The Courthouse Question A commlttoo roprcsontatlvo' of tho business and financial Interests of Klamath Falls visited Tho Herald this morning with an appeal for un early disposition of tho Courthouse Question. Their appeal Is not an unusual ono, nor Is It an Improper ono, For ten or moro years this question has had a death grip upon Klamath Falls and Klamath county, and whllo thoro has boon a gradual loosening of tho hold, It bus not been sufficient to permit pf tho development its blighting Influence has retarded. Every-J ono knows that tho pcoplo of tho county aro thoroughly tired of It. Thoy aro tirod of tho delay of bringing It to a flnanl decision. Tho general senti ment has reached tho point of absoluto Indifference as to whothcr ttio courthouse occupies tho old elto or tho ono In tho Hot Springs addition, but thoy aro not Indifferent to a continuation of tho uncertainty. Wo understand that tho caso has reached n point whoro a hearing before a roforoo on tho merits of tho caso may be hold about February 8, or at a later dato If boforo Judge Calkins. Let us hopo that this information Is correct; that thoro will bo no further delays. Tho people aro crying out for' a final settlement, that thoy may tho soonur forget tho dlsgraco tho whojo controversy has brought upon us, und wo would urgo tho attorneys on both sides to1 listen to .tholr wishes and co-operuto to tho end that quick action may bo had. Wo all know that our thrco Courthouses have brought this city Into ridicule throughout tho nation. Just recently it was used as an argument agalnBt us In our national capital. It has divided our community, kept us In constant turmoil, cost tho county hundreds of thousands of dollars, Is Jeopardizing tho safety of Invaluable records, and Inflicting continual Inconvenience upon tho officials of tho county and tho pcoplo having busi ness to transact with them. In addition to thoso paramount arguments demanding a quick settlement of tho question, Is tho additional one that it is working an almost irroparablo injury to the business Interests of the city and county. Tho notation has reached a point where it becomes mandatory upon tho part of qvcry citizen, irrespective of his personal feedings o'r Interests, to Join In a movement having for its purpose an early and final determination of tho Issues E Argdment on demurrer to tho re ply In the acttlon of J. M. Dougan & 1 mpany against Klamath county, to collect f 91,000 allogqnMo be duo on contract for erecting a courthouso li lldlng, waa heard by Judge FT M.

Stone nppoarod for tho contrac tor. At tho end of tho argument tho coi rt took tho matter under ndvlso p.ent, but Intimated that regardless of tho dlclslon on domurrer, the courthouso litigation would come to trial at an early date, oithor before tho court Itself or boforo a referee appointed to tako testimony in tho action. In caso a roforoo Is appointed it is estimated that tho testimony may bo taken February 8. C. M. O'Noill and John Irwin have been added to tho battery of attor neys for tho countv, which Includes In addition J. Dowormnn of Portland, and B. L. Elliott, Fred Mills, Wm. M. Duncan nnd W. S. Wiley of tho local bar. Besides C. F. Stono. tho contractor is represented by Harri son Allon of Portland nnd A. E. Reamos of Medford. Change of vonuo was granted do fendnnt In tho cobo of Halter against Hopkins yesterday, and tho trial will tako placo In Jackson county. De fendant claimed that bocauso of pub licity given thq action, in which plain tiff alleges that ho was caused great damago by malicious prosocutlon by defendant, ho cannot get a fair trial in Klamath county.

' !, 1 O ; : O J Farm Bureau Items Orders for poison should bo delay ed no longer. Tho big pool order which Is to. bo placed by tho U. S. Biolngtcal Survey will bo placed on tho First of February niid'lf wo want to participate in that pool wo must hnvo all of our orders not later than January 31. This docs not mean that jou cannot later secure poison, but does mean that later it will cost you moro money. It never pays to bo too dilatory in matters of this kind. There nro a good many of our farm ers who aro now paying soventy-fivo cents for Grimm alfalfa seed, who could havo got their supplies for forty cents had they placed their ord er s last fall. Contributions to tho fund have como In from nearly every section of he county and to date an amount In excess of $1000 has been received: Unfortunately, thus far, from no sec tion has tho response been unanimous. To overcome this the committee has decided to block out each Farm Bur eau district and to get farmers In each district, so blocked, to canvas same with the view of getting all the land In each district covered, so that when tho time of the big squirrel drive comes around tho work In each district will be efficiently done and tbero will bo no squirrels from un poUoned areas to cross over and In fest areas that hao been pplsonod. County Agent Thomas and County Chairman, JM. Ezell, Journeyed to teeman, that" section was divided into fivo blocks and tho following men havo agreed to undertake the capvas of same; J. F. Kamarad, Joe !5umpfe, John Cacka, O. W. Bailey' and Mr. Dunn. Charles Tower has been busy lin ing uj) tho squirrel work In the Keno, Worden and Plevna districts. A com plete lining up of this district is ex-, pecte.il within a few days. During tho coming week each dis trict will bo thus organized, but If you who read tlds havo .not yet con tributed to tho fund, do not Wait for thij canvassor to como around. Bring or send your contribution in at once 'the men who aro trying to carry on this work are as busy, perhaps, as you aro and you should not cause them any unnecessary amount of la bor. Remember if you want to get your poison at the lowest possible ji' Ice, go't your order Into tho County Agents' office on 'or before January 31tt. An amusing littlo incident In con nection with tho silo demonstration at tho Talbot ranch occured recently, when thrco or four men wero exam ining some of tho sllngo. There seim ed to bo somo doubts In the mlnJs of these men as to whether or not their cattlo would eat tho same.

Thorp can bo little ijiiostlon as to which w-iy the doubts of the men wero dissolved, Speaking of silos and silage. It' would appear that tho. advent of ihls institution in Klamath county bids fair to revolutiouizo our methods of farming nnd feeding.
