In 1914, Ilussla produced about 44 per cent of tho export lumber ot the world; alnce that time Russia ha not produced any lumber or very much of anything else except dls t'irbanoes. Present Indication aro not very favorable tor lumber or other production In Russia. It I true that there U lota ot timber In South America, bo,, the Industry la not developed very highly In the South Amerlcan'fleld. It will tako machinery to derelop It and they will have to look to' the United States for the machinery which they will be alow In getting because of tb de mand for machinery by our own man ufacturers. Considerable lumber 1 manufactured In Canada but not very much for export, as Canadian lum ber manufacturer aro busy filling homo ardors.

T Tho aiiessment roll for 1920 howlng tho valuations to bo used as a )ass for collection of taxes in 1921 haVe Ueen finished by tho assessor office. it the wish of'tHc assessor' that 'taxpayer, call "at his office between' and-tho meeting of the board of equalization on the second Monday In September to the end that any seeming Inequalities or error In as sessment may be explained or cor rected If'they really exist. Real sale values of most classe of property In the county have Increased and countv schools. tow value has been created by ;new construction and development I within tho county which will help lo Individuals, to make a medern dollar do the work of an old fashioned 1Q0. cent dollar. According to the consti tution ot tho stato the tax levying districts are only permitted an In crease ot 6 per cent in the total funds raised as compared to tbe previous year, except to finance somo develop ment placed en tbe ballot .and rati fied by the vote ot the people. The consequent effect of an increase in assessed valuation Is a reduction ot the tax rate which Is needed In this county, the Increase In taxes being largely a matter of the cost ot the Improvemeata ot one sort or other Which the people approve at the polls. It the people vote enough additional expenses tho tax rate will not go down aa a result of Increased valuations. though the rate will be lower than It would It valuations had not been raised. Dy looking over the assessment rolls now tho taxpayer will, have a chance to see how ho Is paying in proportion to the other fellows He is assured ot the full co-operation of the assessor's office In looking up anything he wants to find out on that score.

The Polish, defensive line east ot Warsaw has been pierced in several places. The government stilt held hope that the Oolsbevlkl will be checked some where east of the Vistula river. The Koscluszko squadron, composed for most part of American aviators haa been transferred from tbe south to the front nearest Warsaw. The American consulate here was olosed today and Consul Rankin Is depart ing tonight.. Most of the official records are already moved. The American legation plans to move soon. . LONDON. August 6. The Times correspondent says he has secured Information from "an excellent au thority" that Soviet Russia had con cluded a secret treaty with Germany before the Polish offensive began. He says this treaty Includes a pro vision that Russia, without German Interference, would be allowed to ap propriate all of Poland's armn, mu nitions and rolling stock. The .cor respondent adds that atter Poland Is. vanquished the Dolshevlkl plans tp. attack Roumanla. -Jiu H ., .LONDON, Aug. 6. The cahjnet today considered the Russian Soviet reply to the British note on Poland which was received last night, but there was no official Indication as to what action will be taken. It Is understood, however, that thev reply, although, not entirely satisfactory,' will be accepted: The reply asserts the Dolshevlkl are ready to conclude an armistice with Poland provided reasonable guarantees are given. It says tho sole obstacle In the way of beginning negotiations Immediately Is the ab sence of the Polish delegates. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. Military experts assert that Russia can wage war on the present scale for 'five years without additional munitions. IS THREATENED A crisis has unfortunately arises In the Ice situation in Klamath Falls which wljl necessitate careful conser vation ot this commodity tor the next 48 hours. Local consumers have pa tiently borne a partial shortage tor the last two days and It was believed that the condition would be relieved this evening by the arrival of a car which was shipped from the Trucks district In California on Tuesday. Word has been received, however, that the car la not on the train m route from Weed today, whichmaaaa further handicap for the consumers. The large storage room ot tfca Klamath Ice Storage company tar the purpose of maintaining a reserva was not completed in time to stora Ice before the heavy summer demand commenced. , Although tbe local Ice company In creased Its capacity 33 1-3 per cent this year In order to meet the In creasing demand, the homo market has grown with such strides that tho Improvement has lacked considerable ot supplying Klamath county noeds and the company has shipped n sov oral cars of mountain tee to serve Its wholesale customers. Tho last car was ordered last week by wire, but the message tailed to reach Us destin ation and the mistake was discovered after the shlpmont was presumed to be on the road. Every effort to se cure Ice from other sources has been fruitless. The company announces that tho. hospitals, homes with sickness, f lrm with largo stores of perishable good and thoaa'wlth which It 1 under,co tracts, will recelYOjirct consideration and everyone aarfsd at tho aarllaat possible moment.
