FORMAL OPENING
OF LOCAL C. OF C.
ISTI
Evory thing is roady 'for tho for
mal opening ot tho now chambor of
commorco quarters in tho Collins
building tonight, and tho ontlro
building from tho chambor of com
morco rooms on tho first floor to tho
roof, will bo illuminated for tho
first time, as a tribute to tho vigor,
conslstonsy, and got-thoro spirit
which has characterized tho cham
bor of commorco in its campaign to
bring tho county to a stato whero It
can and will tako advantago of all
tho .Industrial resources of which it
boasts.
A glanco at tho program shows
that tho ovenlng will bo onjoyablo
for ovoryono. And, It must bo un
derstood that tho oponlng and all-
around good tlmo is not for mom
bors only, but for mombors and non-
members, men and women allko.
Putting It squarely up to you, it
can bo said that "you aro Invited to
bo prcsont.
Tho formal program will begin at
8 o'clock. Thoro will bo music in
abundance, and It is qulto posslbio
mai tno program wH begin with a
musical number, but tho history ot
tho Klamath county chambor ot
commerce, by President E. B. Hall,
Is listed as tho first numbor on tbo
program. President Hall knows all
about the chambor of commerce, and
about lots of other things ot which
tbo avorago citizen Is cognizant, and
it ho tells all ho knows, or at least
a part of what ho knows about con
ditions as they were hero, and as
they lead up to "the present time, his
address will be a steamwlnder. Ho's
bqtial lo the occasion. " - ,
The musical program will bo in
chargo of tho Music Study club. This
fact Insures an oxcollont musical
program. No uso to dwoll upon that
part of- tho program. Trust tho Musi
cal Study club to take caro ot Its
purt ot tho program with credit to
Itself and to tho suporlatlvo satis
faction ot Its audience.
Dr. Mallctt and Arthur Bean will
sing a few ot Frank Robinson's cre
ations. Mr. Robinson is a local com
poser who has made a hit with his
productions in the big musical cen
ters, and this will bo an exceptional
ly pleasing foaturo ot tho ovonlng.
Tho chamber of commerce quartet
will sing popular songs, somo ot
them original with them. They"U
mako a hit. The ladles trio, the
members ot which havo not beon
named, will also delight tho audi
onco wlth-soveral songs.
Then will come tho address by tbo
Reverend W. E. Bobblt of. Wood
land, California. Mr. Bobblt has
a wonderful command ot thqj English
language ana somo oi nis Closest
friends say ho acquired It whllo, a
professional ball player ot scintillat
ing calibre. Howovor, Mr. Bobbit's
address, or rathor his talk, ontltled
"Self Sacrificing Men ot tho Coun
try," will bo replete with virile, hu
man intorest.
After the- fo'rmal program, tbo in
formal program will bo enjoyed. And
tho advance word Is that It will bo a
vorltable "stemwlnder." Tho high
school orchestra will dlsponso Joy
giving music, and the Chambor bf
Commerce quartet wilt endoavor to
add moro laurels to thoso they aro
suro to win earlier In tho evonlng. It
is impossible to toll all that the in
formal program will contain, because
some ot the most ontertatnlng things
arise on tho spur of tho moment, but
suffice to say, evorybody who at
tonds will find himself or herself in
for a good time, and ovoryono is ex
pected to remember that there is a
general Invitation extended to every
one to be there.
Come early, for seats will be at a
premium. That's tho advice that
comes from the men behind tho opon
lng program.

ON T
Jail Is Empty
First Time In
Six Months
Whon E. J. Long rocolvcd tho long
awaited information that tho grand
Jury had ordered his roloaso from
tho city Jail, anif wnlked forth to
brcatbo tho air of frcodom again, tho
Jail was emptied for tho first tlmo In
six months. Tho basement of tho city
hall prcsontod a dark, lonesomo up
poaranco, not a light was vlsiblo, and
ovon tho Jailer packed around a
soomlngly regretful, lonesome coun
tenance.
Long has beon oonflnod In tho Jail
slnco Novembor 6, chargod with lar-
cony, but tho purlolnod goods havo
boon restored, and tho grand Jury
ovldontly figured that ho had paid a
sufficient ponalty through his Incar
ceration. For a long tlmo, Qllbort In
gorsoll, convlctod In December of
murdor, was his companion, bat ex
copt for an occasional "drunk" Long
has beon alono in his confinement.
Just a wco bit lato, but novortho
less wolcomo to his many friends
hero, comes tho announcement thai
tbo Klamath Variety Shop, which has
boon oporated under tho firm name
of Bolvln and Hosklng slnco- last
Juno, whon it was purchased from L.
M. Martin, U now undor tho solo
managomont of J. B. Hosklng. Mr.
Hosklng, with Mrs. Hosklng, has Just
returned from a vacation trip In Cali
fornia, and ho has taken hold of tho
business with vim, and Is exceedingly
optimistic relative to tho outlook" for
a more extensive business as the
spring season approaches.
Since moving Into its new quarters
on Main street, almosl'opposlte the
old -location, the Klamath Variety
Bhop has enjoyed a, fplcndld "bust?
ness'." In fact tho business has been
so satisfactory that Mr. Hosklng has
decided, for tho present at least, to
glide along in the same old way, and
mako spoclaf efforts to keep his storo
abreast with other stores ot Its klnl
by specializing in quick sales. and
close margins which, aftor all, as ho
sayj, Is tho secret "of all consistent,
durable business successes.
'Mr. Hosklng does not contemplate
making any additions to the storo
for tho prosent, and most ot his pat
rons will agreo with the statoment
that tho storo is qulto complete, Just
as It Is. He takes occasion, however,
to thank his old patrona, and invites
all those who havo not become ac
quainted with him and his Btoro to
drop in and see What ho has to offer
them In the line ot reasonably priced
merchandise. Stores like the Klam
ath Variety Shop aro firmly estab
lished In every live city, and Ml-.
Hosklng should bo right in lino for
a permanent run ot vory gratifying
business prosporlty.

tho probabilities aro that if a

to pat his plan Into ottoct. '
Tho laws would glvo tho -Uto
highway commission power to ac
quire rights of way along highways
for malntonanco and preservation ot
scenic beauties, would make It un
lawful to destroy troes nlnnr n
state highway without permission o't
tho highway commission, would au
thorize tho commission to acquire
land for parks and parking piacos.
and require persons making any al- ,
toratlons In highways or rights ot
way to obtain a pormlt from tho.
stato highway onglneer.
No other state In the union has
beon blessed with bo many natural
glories as Is tho stato ot Oregon,"
said tho governor in his mossago."
Crowning all thoso glories are oar
forest growths. Without thorn oar .
mountains would bo rocky forbid
ding eminences j our stroams would
dwindle into rivulets; our lakes bo
shorn ot tho sylvan fringes which,
mako thorn ontranclng to tho na
turo lovof, and our valleys bo mo-"
notonous stretches.
"Tho public realizes tho import-
anco of these things now, and Is ful
ly awake to tho fact, while, we have.,
lost many, things, there are many
things w emay cling to and preserve; .
for all posterity. This legislative,
assembly may make Itself remember

"All the things we hiife.'been

our state' tho most liveable in
the Union; tho desire to keep our -
children in God's own environment,
surrounded by the beauties to which '
they are tho true heirs, all of thoso
will bo surrendered and lost unless
wo act and act promptly."
Tho govornor disclaimed any In
tention to deprive prlvato timber ,
owners of land without legal pro
cess. Ho said the timber mon gen
erally woro eager and willing tp co
operate, and cited the Instance ot
one large company, the Crown Wil
lamette Paper company which ceas
ed cutting timber along the Seaside
Cannon Beach highway In Clatsop
county," and I understand, "he add
ed" Is, marking time pending the ac
tion ot your honorable body."
Tho federal commissioner of In

will be resorved at all times to con
