many reasons for coming to thl con
clusion. Ileforu tho declaration ot
war. 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. Those, conditions along
with tho dulayod building program In
our own country, will leavo tho
Amorlcnn lumber producora In a
Hplondld position to furnish most ot
tho lumber that will bo roqulred for
reconstruction nocossary because of
tho ravages nt war.
"In tho faco ot this prosperous
outlook, wo maintain tho shortening
ot tho work day, tho payment of good
wages anil tho establishment ot hot

barrass tho Industry In any respect.
Wo bolleve tho suro and safe way for

Tho aiiessment roll for 1920
howlng tho valuations to bo used as

haVe Ueen finished by tho assessor

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.

LEAVES WARSAW,
WARSAW, Aug. 6. 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

., .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. It raur ha lsnpo.
