LUMBER SHOWS SIGNS OF BIG PRICE RALLY Whllo thn mltl-owncr ot tho west coast, Portland and vicinity aro driv en nearly to distraction by tho con dition of tho lumhor market, thoso In this torrltory aro travelling tho oven tonor of tholr way, confident that tho futuro holds nono of tho difficul ties confronting tho mlltmen of tho north and west. At least they are not going to havo so many ot thorn. It looked for a whllo as if tha bot tom was going to drop out ot the market hero, but tho past week or ten day havo been brighter than nnynno hoped for. Ono ot th'o bright est spots of the market Is tho enor mous quantities ot lumhor absorb ed by tho Southern California mar kot, without tho slightest Indica tion of weakening. Ship load after ship load ha poured In there from tho west coast and tho only cry that has arisen la for lumber pliers. !en these heavy shipments havo not relieved conditions up tho line with tho result that overy onca In iiwhUu a mill la forced to throw Its cut on tho market at whatover prlco It can get. Hut this condition docs not apply to Klamath plno, which Is ataylng right up at tho top. Buyer aro beginning to rcallxo thoro will bo little It any change In prices pre vailing now and aro beginning to put out foolers. The present Indications are that within a short time there will be a strong movement on the part of buyers, with tho result that prices will again start up and may reach close to that prevailing laat year One thing seems certain: Thero will ho no "bottom dropping" con ditions here.

BE SEATFD Non-Suit Motion Ends Trial and Suit Is Dropped A non-suit motion was entered by defendants at tho closo of plaintiff's caso this morning In tho trial ot tho da ma go action ot tho Chowac.in l.ai . and Cattle company against th? Cen tral garago and tha matter 'xzt dis missed. Defendant's attornoy basc-d tho motion for non-suit on thj prem ise that the driver ot tho wrecked car, for which damuges woro asked, was an agent of plaintiff, having been retained by tho garage owners at plaintiff's request to drlvo tho car to lyakovlerw, Tho suit of T K. Mctaod against Louis Itahn was also dismissed on non-suit motion. This clears tho ctl- ondar, except for tho Ingersoll mur der trial, which is set to oncn Dc cembor 10 In discussing tho phone situation with E. T. Ludden, manager ot tho Pacific Telephono and Telegraph company, Mr. Ludden was found to bo vory emphatic and much con cerned regarding tho ability ot his company to go on In the development ot their telephone work In Klamath Falls, which work Is essential to the regaining of a normal ability to take care ot current demands for servlco in this city. Ho points out that Klamath Falls has at present 78 waiting orders which the telo- pbono company is unable to take care of under present conditions and relief can only como by the heavy expenditure ot "now" capital. It -.will require a continuous expend iture for now plant In order to nieot the demand for servlco In this city and to provide jbow toll lines neces sary to meet the rapidly growing long distance business ot thla sec tion. The telephone company In its re cent application to the -public serv lco commission ot Oregon haa plain ly declared Its Inability to mako theao new expenditures in the ab senco of any earning capacity. Pres ent revenue is barely sufficient to pay operating expenses and loaves no margin necessary to secure the money to carry out tho company's construction program. It would appear that tho magni tude ot thla Issue Is such as to mako It a matter ot real public interest aside from tho Interest that the tel ephone company may have Itself in tho matter. It largo sums ot "new" money must bo bad for investment In tho telephono properties It is ob vious that it cannot bo secured In tho absence of rates sufficient to pay bare operating expenses. The telophone company in its ap plication to tho public serv ice commission declared that it Is now on a deficit basis. It declares to the public ot Orogon that it Is oarnlng nothing, that never in Its history was its plant as deficient in ability to take care of Oregon's do mands; It declares to tho public ot Klamath Falls and tho stato ot Oro gon that tho only probable solution ot Impending difficulties la tho Im mediate planning and installation ot heavy addition to plant. It declaros Its absolute Inability to ralso money to bring to Klamath Falls and spend It until It has boon fully dotermlnod whether or not It will bo permitted to earn enough monoy, through rates for servlco, to pay tho operat ing expenses ot Its plant and leavo something as an Inducement to In vestment. Mr. Ludden Btated that while it is true cortaln prices aro uppoarlng to dccllno tho problem ot tho telephone, company to give a proper return on Its Investment is concerned with the plant as It exists today. Any change In prices for its material would only affect subsequent additions to plant. Mr. Ludden turthor .suggested that the majority of tho price reces sions seoms to be in thoso commod ities that had risen to abnormal holghta owing to peculiar economic conditions; also tho greatest part ot tho telephone expenses Is labor approximately 73 per cent. No ono oxpects that the prices ot labor will bo generally reducod. As far as tho telephone, company is concerned. It does not antlclpato any such con tingency. Tho rapid growth ot tho mall Is an Indlcatlou ot health. The excluslxe food of the happy oagle ot llraztl is monkoys. i n m i ra ra WILSON SENDS :, 1 HIS MESSAGE - TO CONGRESS President Breaks Cus tom By Not Appear ing in Person Voe dictory is Written .

Tho president declared that thla sentence, "marks for us In the plain est manner the part we should play, alike In the arrangement ot our do mestic affairs and In our exercise ot Influence upon the affairs of tno world. "It was this faith which prevailed over the wicked force of Germany," he continued, "and this Is the time ot all others when democracy should prove Its purity and Its splrtual pow er If It Is to prevail. Thero aro two ways In which tho United States na assist to accomplish this great ob ject, first to ronke and enforce lawa unquestionably Just, which will se cure Its full right to labor and at the same time safeguard the Integrity ot property. "Second, by standing for right and Justlco as toward individual nations. The Influence of overy nation should be for the protection ot weaker na tions and tho United State cannot rotuso this rolo ot champion without putting the stigma ot rejection upon the great and devoted men, who brought this government Into exist anco and established it In the faw u ot almost, universal opposition ani intrigue." m Legion to Nominate Officers Tonight for Coming Year Klamath Post No. 8 ot the Amer ican legion will tako up the business ot nominating candidates for office tor tho following year at their moot ing tonight nt 8 o'clock In tho coun cil chambers ot the city hall.
