In a 'cut noar Hlldebrand a cut through shale and chalk rock has produced many interesting spoclmons of sea ltlo, in dicating a period when the ocean cororod this spot. A. B.

NOTED ARTISTS An interesting concert announced by tho Musical Study club will be given by Charles F. Bulotti, tenor, assisted by Miss Beatrice Barlow, pianist, nnd Miss Alice Genevieve Smith, harpist. These three artists neve reached the pinnacle of success nnd, aro an authority in thoir particu lar art. Mr. Bulotti possesses a lyric tenor voice of exceptional beauty and charm. His exquisite high tones, with his clear and sharply defined enunciation, accounts for the promi nent placo ho has among artists. Ho sings easily nnd displays a rare mu sical ability and understanding ot interpretation. In other words, ho knows how to Sing, and sings what tho people liko to hear. Miss Beatrlco Barlow Is a pianist star of the first magnitude. She knows how to produco good effects, how to shade and how to Interest her nmllniinA Thnm la iinthlncr dull nnd commonplace about hor playing. She Is a pianist who pleases and satisfies, bocnuso sho plays understanding' nnd brilliantly. All musicians agreo that tho harp. Is tho most artistic of all tho instru- ments. Miss Smith Is the only worn- nn on tho Amorclnn stngo who in a dual rolo comblnos tho most brilliant musical skill with all the dramatic forco, all tho subtle shades of volco and oxprossion, all tho sympathy and poise that bolong to tho woll-school-ed actress. Miss Smith, besides boing a thorough musician, has an unusual poetic temperament, and all these qualities unltod with an uncommon beauty and grace, serves to make her the most successful artist In hor pro fession. Tho music Iovors ot Klamath Falls should not miss hearing these artists at Houston's opora house, Friday ovontng, April 16, Tickets on sale at Shepherd's piano houso, GARAGE COMPLETED AND OPERATING Tho Metropolitan garage at tho corner ot Eleventh street and Klam ath avenue, built b,y O. I. Reckard, Is completed and ready for business. Tho building has a floor space of 50 by 80 feet and is modorn and up-to-date in evory particular. Mr. Rockard has supervision ot the buslnoss end of tho concern, while O. D. Williams is in charge ot tho mechanical department. Mr. Wil liams is an experienced mechanic, who enmo hero from tho loading au tomobile center ot the United States Detroit, Michigan.

P depot scorns In a fair way to bo 'remedied as tho result of tho recent 'congestion, which resulted In vigor ous protests from the local Business I Mon's association and Individual merchants to J. H. Dyer, general manager of the coast dlllon at San Francisco, and the resignation of the local S. P. agent, C. J. Clause, after his protests to his superiors had been refused consideration. Tho company has now indicated that it will maintain a force of six freglht handlers here, two more than In the past. Whether a wage in crease Is possible at present remains to be determined. Apparently it is not, unless by some special arrange ment, tho federal law passed while the roads wero under government control still operating to fix the wage scale. L. R. Smith, a division official, is expected to arrive tonight to invest! gate tho situation and definite state ment of the company's intentions may bo available after he has looked the ground over. The force of local freight handlers has been kept at four nun for years, despite the steady and rapid growth of local business and trouble has been more or less constant In han dling tho freight loads. It was reported today that the crew Is catching up with the conges tion and by tonight it Is hoped to have tho cars all cleared. The mystery has been solved. Dr. Johnson's fine Persian cat was been found. The story that is being whispered around is about as fol fel fol eows: ! Members of tho Elks' lodge have been working for the past six months on special features tor their big "once a year Western Nights" which is to be held tho latter part of next week. All sorts of valuable merchandise, farm products, groceries and real estato have been secured, to be used as prizes but some of the boys wero afraid that thore was going tp be a shortage of livestock, as a pig, lamb, calf and somo chickens were all that were in sight, so it was suggested that if it was only possible to get hold ot that luo big Persian cat of Dr. Johnson's there should bo some lively interest aroused, especially among the ladies. Whether true or not that tho con coctors of the scheme got tho kitty, their scheme must have failed as Dr. Johnson reported yesterday that he had regained possession ot the val ued pet. If ho can fasten the deed upon the perpetrators, however, some one is likely to be wearing a set of garments furnished by the state Instead of the Dubbelbilt suit offered as a reward. Ot course the doctor may relent. Postmaster Delzell has kindly con sented to donate the old postottice as a prize the opening night ot tho big gathering, and has also suggested that it any good Republicans are in terested he might throw in the posl mastership ot Klamath Falls, as he doesn't expect to have any use for it after tho next presidential election. Negotiations are also under way to secure the donation of three or four courthouses which can be used for booby prizes In the various games. Taken all together tho prospects are bright for a real time at the Elks' teraplo beginning next Thursday.

LABOR POLICY WT MR An alliance of the lumbermen and business men of Klamath county In support of the American plan in deal ing with labor was effected last night at a Joint meeting of both associa- ! tlons at the White Pelican hotel. The Lumbermen's association submitted a set of 10 cardinal points formulat ing the policy to be pursued in the future and asked endorsement of tho Business Men's association, which, was given, with the exception of five members who voted in the negative. Leading lumbermen spoke of the Importance of the industry to Klam ath eounty and asserted that this year promised to surpass in produc tion any year of history. A virtual doubling of previous cuts is' forecast and it is expected that the combined I output ot mills in this county will total 250,000,000 feet. To handle , thfs enormous output an increased working force will be necessary and 'a monthly payroll of $417,000 was esiiiuuieu uguiuai uu uveiut? uiuuiu- !terruPted by BtrlkM or Ial)0r "ouDios of'any kind, it was deemed wise tor the employers to formulate a policy, fair to both the "employer and era- ployee, endorse it and live up Vo It. The policy laid down recognises the right ot every working man and woman to protectldn in the earntn of their livelihood, and-refuses to recognize any outside Influence In settlement, of problems between em ployer and employee. Existing work ing hours are to be maintained and In fcxttlie- voty would .virtualA,,. preserve in status quo present, work.- ' ing conditions. Propaganda is being circulated in labor centers, it was said, to the effect that in order, to work in Klam ath county a person must belong to beyond an authorized labor union. The em ployers branded this statement as rupted production In order lhat every one might qbtaln a maximum bsnarit. ( Firemen's Fund E. T. Ludden, appointed at the last meeting to raise $800 to pay an in crease of $25 monthly each to tho two city firemen, reported a deficit of $190, but indicated that business men had responded readily and he I had seen only a few.
