B. J. FJolsted, Hold animal hus
landman of tho Oregon Agricultural
college, nrrlvod lout nlgh and haa
tho following to say regarding tho
purebrod Bhorthorn aalo to bo held
tomorrow at tho O. K. Hern:
"County Agont Thomas and tho
county farm bnroau aro surely for
tunate In securing the claw of catMe
that are to be ottered In the com
' blnutlon tale tomorrow. Not only
-&ha..lao Individual! In thin consign-
f .xnent represent high merit, but tbey
U aro all Tory well bred. Thoro la not
,'' a single consignment that could bo
' V .xonaldered. plain bred. Many of
I r,ttiww i animals aro aired by or bred to
General Hampton, tho undefeated
,- enow bull of tho northwest. General
Hampton is an excellent Individual
and carries a straight Scotch pedl
' tree.
"Thero also la roprcionted in Mr.
Garrett's consignment, tho bull Sul
tan Still, tho former herd slro of Mr.
Haradon. This bull tracos directly
to Whitehall Sultan, tho greatest
American Shorthorn bull. Mr. Green
is a thorough stockman and believes
Implicitly In tho breed, which Is
amply affirmed by tho chnnces takon
In making this long ehtpmont to
Klamath county.
"There Is no question in my mind
bout the advlslblllty of buying those
cattlo, as tho purebred cattle bunl-
ncss ls primarily In Its Infancy and;
tho clomnnu ror range nuns pi-purs'
tired breed Is constantly Increasing.
The day of tho scrub bull! Is, or
should bo, a matter of ancient his
, tory. Some stockmen still persist In
using a grade bnlnv which spells fin?
ncial loss, foe .a,, purebred, bul
which shows receipts' on the 4 right
' sldo of'tho'ledger.- -
"These animals will all bo sold re
gardless of prlco, and we fool sure
that the livestock men of Klamath
county will not let this opportunity
pass, but make this sale an annual
event, of not only Klamath county
importance, but of tho ontlro coast.
"Tho calves secured for tho calf
club work aro exceptional prospects.
Tho cream of tho ontlro Union county
was selected for tho boys and girls
of this county. Tho nawly organized
farm bureau of Union county aro
very much displeased with this ship
ment of calves, as they had antici
pated placing this good lot In tholr
own county. '
"I personally feol this was a stroko
of good business on tho part of your
livestock man, Mr. West. Many of
theso caivos aro excellent show
!Prospocts and nono of -thoni, it
properly cared for, would bo adls
I credit to any county In tho north
. wost. Thoso calvcB aro sired by such
..bulls as Good Prospect, tho only bull
that over boat Hercules Duko In tho
show ring. Horculos Duko was tho
grand champion at all places shown
excepting as stated abovo. Tho
calves as Individuals rank with the
ftcst of tholr ago 6f any section in
tho United States."
All who can will find it well wort'
tholr tima to, visit tho O. K. Darn
and look over tho cattlo. It is really
a good livestock show. Tho drawing
for tho calves will take place at 10
a. m. Tho calves will all bo on ox
hlbtt at that time.

D. Newell, tho Klamath project man
ager, as presented at the last meet
ing of tho business men. '
Mr. Bradbury is very familiar with
the subject with which be will deal
and announce fiat hla discussion1
will be. predicated .absolutely upon
tho records of the government, com
piled In connection with storage 'and'
Irrigation during the existence of the
local project.
'Tho storage question is one that
has" a vital bearing on the future
welfare of Klamath couhty and -is' one
that will bare to be settled by the
citizens of (his community beforo tho
county can attain IU normal stride
in development.
Every member of tho Business

will finally be based. Settlement will
bo reached through the collective
Judgment of the community, and

Is to be hoped, therefore, Nthat every
mombor of the association will let
only the most urgent private appoint
ment keep him from attending to

: SIMS INSISTS
ADVICE WIS
WASHINGTON, Mar. 12. Tha
navy department's disregard of
Admiral Sims' recommendations re
garding 'the convoy system wa
described by the. admiral to the
senate investigating committee to- -
day as infinitely more serious iri
bearing on the war than other' eases'
of alleged inefficiency He said Jk
urgently recommended the convoy
plan May 1, 1919. Secretary
Daniels replied Jnne 20' that be csa-
sldered armed guards safer. Ob
July 1 Daniels outlined a plan -wUek. ,
the Allies had abandoned aa- tat-i .
practical, but on July 22' the depart
ment finally accepted the convoy
plan for troopships and later for
sapply vessels. On' August 10, Sins
said he received messages from tka
department asking that the convoy
system be explained.
When he advised "that the convoy
system proposed by the BrjtUh ad
miralty be put into immediate opera
tion. Admiral Sims said he received,
a cablegram from Secretary P,aaleU
stating that "in regard1 to convoy I
consider that American naval vessels
having armed guards are safer when
sailing independently."
Later adoption of the convoy stb
tem, he said, indicated the wisdom of
b, j recommendation.
"T6 admiral said that In Jane,
l?i7,ThetoId the department the
efforts then being made to curb tje
U-boats was sot. 'succeeding and the
necessity again was presented' "ot
sending all destroyers, tags, yachts
and other craft which can reacji tke -critical
area by, themselves or W
towed part' way." "" . J
Ts deparBwat.lei.eaaaIf;
stated .that "the department recog
nlies the necessity of sending atl,,
anti-submarine craft which "can bev
spared from home waters into active
uoropean waters, ana wnen . snea.
craft become available will sead
them," and announced "willingness
to co-operate' in every way" and that
it' would "consider the question ot
supplying additional naval forces
other than anti-submarine craft
whenever the advisability of so dot
ing Is justified."
This. reply, the admiral said, con
vinced him that the department, en
tirely misunderstood the situatioa
and caused him to appeal to Ambas
sador Page for assistance. In a
letter to the ambassador on June 25,
1917, he made most of the assertions
that brought the present Investiga
tion, reviewed the entire situation.
quoted from messages exchanged
with the department and closed with v
the statement that "the war 'will be
won or 'lost within the next few
months," for" if "the shipping losses
continue at-the present rate t must
belost because the Allies cannot
win." The admiral did not say' what
was tho result of the letter.
