And speaking ot County Assessor J. P., Lee, It Is not necessary to state that the only war the grand old man or Klamath coun ty can be' ousted from otrice Is to drown him. Whether or not J. Pluvlus has entered Into a conspiracy to drlvo the assessor out of his palatial of fice building In the rear ot the court houso Is not known, but as tho story goes the assessor and his deputy were sitting In their otrice ono day last week, when the assessor looked up at the celling Just In time to seo dangerous looking streams of water trickle through a crack straight to ward the head of his deputy. The deputy was warned ot his danger Jast In time to avoid a drenching anv tha assessor, so tha story jjoes, ccpted It as an omu , that he was Volng to bo drowned out. Accordingly, he Immediately ordered a supply of shingles and put a good, fast man on tho Job, with Instructions to shingle the root as quickly as' possible, and not to forget to make a good Job ot It, as, from all Indications, ho would want the office for a long tlmo to come. There Is a report provalent about town that a certain business man was going to file an Injunction. against the use of the shingles, but on second thought this man figured that after the court houso question had become amicably sottled, the assessor's otrice mfght bo soil to somo person who would use It for Its original purpose, that ot a wood shed, and the new shingles might help the county commissioners mako tho sale. V As further evidence that tho coun ty commissioners are figuring seri ously upon a long sojourn 1n their present quarters, It Is pointed out that the Janitor at the court houso, Mr. Hannon, who has moved only threo times In his 60 years of lite, has taken up bacholr quarters In the old Jail. Mr. Hannon, so It Is said, has as sorted that ho has moved Into a dwelling for the last time, but whether or not ho discussed thsj matter with tho county court beforo moving Is a matter of conjecture. He stated, however, that he uover liked to live too far away from bis work, and his present resldenco, assures him tho nearness he doslres. Mr. Hannon is a capable Janitor and will undoubtedly bo retained even after tho court houso question la settlod. The question arises: "Has he been favored with advance In formation rolatlvo to tho court houso question?" WINS AWARD FROM FRENCH GOVERNMENT Colnian F, O. O'Loughlln of this city has Just been notified that the Fifth field artillery ot which he was a momoer during war, nos naa con ferred upon It by the French govern ment the fourragero, the highest award that can bo bestowed upon a military organization tor bravery In action.
