PORTLAND, Nov, 9 Republican
political circles havo begun to ills-
eufi tho division of tho loaves and
fishes. Democratic federal offlco
holders aro wondering how long thoy
will bo ablo to hang on after March
4, when Harding and a republican
congress take over tho government.
Thoro Is a belief that tho Pacific
coast should bo represented In Pres
ident Harding's cabinet. Tho Job of
secretary of tho Interior ha been
hold by westorn men for many years,
and this load to tho hopo that Hard
ing will follow tho example of his
predecessor. Political gossips of yes-
torday wcro suggesting tho namo of
Robert A. Ilooth of Kugene, member
of tho stato highway commission, as
suitable timber for the porfollo of
the Interior. Thero was also a sug
gestion that N. J. Sinnott, repre
sentative from tho second congres
sional district, would bo an ideal se
lection, owing to his familiarity with
tho problem of tho west through
his dos HI to as chairman of the com
mltteo on public lands. A number of
active republicans In eastern Oregon
havo been doslrous of seeing Sinnott
go Into tho republican cabinet, so
that tho field would bo clear for them
to run for congress In that district.

The circuit court 1 engrossed to
day In a hearing wherein Mrs. So
phia I ten ley la seeking to secure an
Injunction restraining tho state high
way commission from evpendlng any
furJ-r fundc In tho construction of
the ttalles-CallfornIa highway and
which runs through Klamath county.
Tho highway commission Is repre
sented by J. M. Devon, assistant at

accompanied by IL A. Kloln, secre
tary of. the commission, K. E. Kiddle,
a member of tho commission and J.

Several weeks ago Mrs. Henley was
granted a temporary restraining or
der against Klamath county, Its
county court, and others, against
spending any of the 1919 bond Issue
on construction of. tho highway. In
tho present hearing she seeks to en
join tho state from paying moro than
Its 25 per cent of the cost ot con
struction. In annffldavlt recently til
ed sho alleged that there Is an agree
ment that the state shall pay more
than Its authorized sharo of tho cost,
to bo later reimbursed by tho county
Complicated legal points are In
volved. Tho effect of tho restraining
order against the county Is to stop
payment ot warrants to Oskar Hu
her, highway contractor, from the
county funds, If restraint Is laid upon
payment by tho stato tho result
would be a tie-up of work on co-operatively
constructed roads.

FACTORIES ARE
ey
OF
Reports that soma of tho local
lnmbor mills had let off some of
their crows and woro shutting down
on account of tho high price of labor
woro dented this morning by officials
ot the Klamath Lumber company and
tho Ewauna Dox factory. Speaking;
for tho Ewauna Box Co., Fred Schal-
lock, local manager, stated that whtlo
tho box factory had shut down some
what and was not employing as many
men as before, tbo sawmill was run
nlng toll captcrty and that no shut
down was anticipated. . -.
"Of course practically all ot tho
mills In tho county shut down In tht
winter" said Mr. Shallock, "but un
til Decern bor 1st or about tho time,
that winter sets In we do not plan on
reducing any of our force It Is truo
that thero Is practically no demand
for lumber at the present tlmo and
that Is why thero will probably bo a
tendency among the mills to curtail
production."
"Has tho price of lumber dropped
as a result' ot this non-drmandt"
Mr. Shallock was asked.
'No the price baa not dropped to
any appreciable extent" said Mr. Shal
lock. Car shortage Is hampering oper
ation ot tho factories said A. O.
Krause, manager ot tho Klamath
Lumber & Box, company. Their fac
tory is shut down today to await
cars. It is expected they will get cant
enough to resume tomorrofr.
The mill runs uninterruptedly.
Mills can pile tbelr product In the
open and are not affected by car
shortage, providing It la ot short dur

peared on the surface this morning.
' Lsck of demand for lumber and
cancelled orders from buyers aro ad
mittedly serious ractors in mo situa
tion, but the operators all -havo
scouts out among the consumer; a,nd
hope to place their product. ', '. ,
Within a week, Mr. Krauso 'said.
local mill men would know more In
regard to tho effect that curtailed
demand would h.ve on operations,
but at present their chief, anxiety,
with which they are wrestling Is
lack of cars.
He took a generally optimistic
vlow, that this season at least would
seo no general shoutdown except the
usual curtailment that marks tho
opening ot winter.

FRUIT RAISING
The chamber of commerce has
had on display in the window sinco

apples grown by C. I. Nixon nt Poo

Mr, Nixon hai about 300 trees ot
Oravenstlen and Wealthy apples
which produced a very good crop
this year. Tho trees aro Just be
ginning to bear so ot course the crop
was not ns heavy as It Is expected to
be later on, but tho apples wcro ot
a very good quality,
Mr. Nixon also raises peaches nnd
pears In the same orchard without
irrigation. Mr. Van Meter a neigh
bor of his on tho west side of Poo
Valley has been successeful In grow

thero should bo no difficulty In any
