P"hT .!h , Icnuno of Inconvonlcnco to the victim. It would bo hard to tell whether tho man who parked his car in his accus tomed stall on the wcst'slda of Fifth streot yesterday laughed, when ho found a card Inviting him to pay the police Judgo a visit for parking on tho wrong aldo of the street. It appears that In amending tho traffic ordinance tho word "west" was somehow substituted for "cast" and parking Is now prohibited on the wont sldo of Fifth stroot between Klamath nnd Main where formorly It was permitted. Tho victims of the new order wore many yesterday through this misunderstanding. Officials feel that It Is clearly a clerical orror that caused tbo mix-up. because If parking Is to be allowed on Fifth tho logical side would be the west. The reason for keeping the street partly open Is that It Is the thorough fare by which the fire truck leaves the station for uptown fires. Natur ally tho east side of the street Is the sldo that should remain clear. Traffic officer Wynn reports six arrests yesterday.

Bomo of Mlllerand's friends declare he will rofuse to become a candidate but may ac- cept tho position if It Is offored unanimously. After full discussion of all angles of tbo Upper lake storage question and tho legion's stand therein at last night's meeting, a resolution waa un animously passed to the effect that Klamath post unalterably opposed any attempt to control the waters, or take any part of them for" other purposes, until Irrigation of all lands In the Klamath basin had been amply provided for. The resolution further sustained officers of tho post In any independ ent action they had taken In the past In opposing tho building of the Link river dam by the California-Oregon Power company, according to official report of tho proceedings. There was an unusually large crowd present. It was said. Views were expressed freely but with little dissenting opinion against the course thus far pursued by the legion.

E IS "If stops are not taken to carry out the recommendations of tho state flro marshal, I can seo no way to avoid an Increase In Insurance rates for Klamath Falls," was the state ment mado yesterday to the Herald by Ormond Rankin, representing the Oregon Insurance Rating bureau. "Tho proceeding customary under such circumstances," continued Mr. Rankin, "is that the companies will wait a reasonable length of time and then if nothing U done the.ratlng bu reau will be asked to come here and re-rate the city, and once this Is ' done It will be a difficult matter to havo any change made In the new rating until everything suggested by the fire marshal has been complied Ith. "The time was when this city had a splendidly equipped department. Dut that Is not true today, simply from the fact that Klamath Falls has grown very rapidly In the past. few years. There Is one thing, that must keep pace with the growth of the city a little ahead of It la fact and that la the fire department. From now on the cost of the department 'forKlamath Falls will Increase from Irear to year, and every resident should see that it does, for It Is thjh tone thing that stands between him and death by fire. The first thought about a fire department Is that It Is to protect property. This Is the wrong Idea. It's first duty is to protect life, then property. In the recent fire the loss of life would have been greatly lessened, If not entirely elim inated It your fire ehlef had men enough to permit hla getting away from hesdtfurters to make Inspec tions.1 -Ha main work s to prevent fires -starting. r , , "Non-taxpayers pay little attention to their fire department, when they are Just as vitally Interested as any one elso. It is maintained to protect their lives and their property, their clothing, furniture, and personal ef fects. Just as much as to protect the property they aro renting. Too many non-property owners carry no Insur ance on their personal property and consequently aro doubly In need of tire protection. For these reasons It Is to be hoped that there will be a 100 percent support of the fire de partment, the carrying out of Its di rections, and the adoption of the recommendations of the state fire marshal."
