Ifthe stories that are going tho
rounds today have any foundation,
the postofflce" department will have
more than, one site to consider when
the matter of locating the local post-
office again comes up for bids. One
oT the sites that will probably be sub
mitted will" be at the corner of Fifth
and Pine streets. When It became
known that the Sixth street site bad
gone by the board, Frank Ward and
Charles Loomis waited on tho gorenl-
,ment inspector and stated that when
ho agai nasked for bids, they would be
In a position to submit one for his
consideration. It is understood that
tne site these gentlemen have in view
is at the corner of Pine and Fifth.
This makes two possibilities for '
Pine street, the other being the one
suggested by G. A. Bellman. There is
considerable speculation ot la'te as to
whether the business district rwIH '
work towards Pine street or Klamath
avenue, as it is reclgnized that if
Klamath Palls is going to be a 'city
ot the size its friends believe It will
be, business houses will undoubtedly
be erected on other thoroughfares
than' Main street. To date Klamath
avenue haa the best ot the argument.
but whether It is going to',hol4 its
leads depends upon many angles of
the case. Those who advocate Klam
ath ayenue point to the tact tJat to
