VETS' BUILDING
F
Armistice Celebration Adds
$465; Post "Rarin' to Go"
on Community Hall
Made possible by the generous at
tendance at the Armistice day enter
tainment, the American Legion haa
added $465 to its building tund,
aud in conjunction with the Rotary
club, Klwanls club, Chamber ot
Commerce and other civic organ Ua-
U "rarin' to go" on the proposition
ot a community building.
The legion sees : another source
from which funds could bo drawn
for maintenance of a 'community
building. Adjutant-Oeneral . Wlilte
recently offered Klamath Falls a na-1
tlonal guard allotment. Since there I
is no possibility in the near future
ot an armory, acco'.fding to White,
the community building could jbe
used and the rental go for upkeep.
Committee Named.
At the legion meeting last night
the following members were named
to confer with various organizations
to get their views on the national
guard proposal: R. -E. Crego, Ki
wanis club; Dr. H. D. L. Stewart,
Rotary club; Linn P. Sabln, Chanv
ber of Commerce; Alfred D. Collier,
Elks. Othe-.fs will be asked to obtain
the views of various lodges.
(The legion takes the position that
a natlonnl guard here would be high
ly beneficial to the younger men of
the city, and stands ready'to lend
its support to get, the undertaking
underway if the community as a
whole gives its approval. Seventy
five gunrdsmeu are required to form
a company.
"On to St. riuil."
"On to St. Paul" will bo tho
slogan ot tho post hereafter if tho
BiiKgcstlon of A. J. Lyle, mnnagor
ot tho Klamath General hoslptal. Is
followed. In a letter to the post Lyle
declared that in his opinion tho drum
corps Is ono ot the city's greatest
assets, nnd that to send the corps
lo St. Paul next year would result
in valuable advertsllng tor Klamath
county. Ho inclosed his chock for
$10 rs a nucleus for an expense
fund. .
It wns tho sentiment ot the legion
that the drum corps should be sent
to St. Paul if such Is the will of
tho community. - , Purchase of uni
forms and expenses ot the trip would
place a lionvy load on tho post, It was
felt, mid unless there was possibility
,if financial aid, 'the post would have
n big job to tackle. ' Furthe:miore,
months ot Intensive practice would
be necessary to bring the corps up
to- the standard necessary to com
pe'e with the crack-drum corps of
largo eastern cities.

Last Great Migration of

Declares Speaker
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 11. Th
vital importance of devising a dot- ,
Inlte program for utllliation of tho
country's Idle lands wherever lo
cated for the purposes for which they
are best sntled and most needed and .
the necessity tor all Interests In tha
south to organize and vigorously
prosecute a movement for expansion
of the federal reclamation . policy ,
Into national ccope, so that the settle
ment of her Idle, cut-over, swamp
and overflowed lands, were empha
sized by Clement S. Ucker, of Baltl
more'and Savannah, president Soutn-
ern Settlement and Development Or
ganization, In hla address, here today
at the opening of the Forestry,. Rec
lamation & Home-Making confer-
ence. ' '.-';' '
Ucker'a subject was '.'V'hj We Are i
Here." He briefly recited the history
of reclamation In this country and,
what has been accomplished in tho
west, told of the plans and prospect ,i
of the western section for further
legislation on the subject, mentioned ,
the need of the south for si mflar de
velopment aha Hie-tropte'4hta tee-..,
Hon facei and asked the ;ques- ,
tlon: 'What la the South going. to do
about It " . i - ' -v
' Age of Migration. r"'
"We are living today In the midst
of a great migration or readjustment
of the while race,? said Ucker.' "It
is literally the last great migration
of the Trihte -race, ind ws are not .
able to fully appreciate Its magnl- .
tude or sense Its tremendous Impor '
tance to our country ond Its Institu
tions, unless we try to rise above.:
it and view It from the heights. '
"About 1900 the tide of migration.
literally speaking,, reached" the Pa
cific; during the onward march It':
had absorbed nearly all the readily
available or readily asslmable public
lands. The westward stream still was
running strong, but the outlet had '
become clogged. The . prairie .lands
were gone. The grazing lands hail
been absorbed. Nothing was left, but
timbered lands or arid and seml-arla
tracts." '
Ho mentioned how the tide of Eu
ropean Immigration had spread to
the north and wost and .but llttlo of
It bad been deflected south, and how
as the "ready to plow" public lands
had bocn exhausted attontlon was"
turned to reclaiming a'ld and seml
nrld tracts for agriculture through
irrigation, as those lands were -fort lit
ana lacked only mobituro tp mako'.
them capablo of producing , crops. .!
Agitation for utilization of thnsi
lands, he said, culmlnuted in enacts
ment ot the reclamation act of July.
1902, which provided that all monies
derived from sale of public, lands
should be set aside as n reclamation
tund to be used for construction of
Irrigation works to carry water onto
arid and semi-arid tracts. This ac
was applicable tp 18 western states.'
"Two outstanding features distin
guished the federal reclamation net.,"''
he said, "and wore largely" rospon- .
sible for .Its passage through, eon"
gress. First, that It created a i,d
volvlng fund, and second, that It
would continually increase. In theory
the federal reclnamtlon fund should'
rovolvo once cvory ten years and bo
used over and over again." . .
' Two Outstanding; Features.
Kowevor, Ucker pointed out. Ihe
I provisions ot the original act, requir
ing settlers on the reclaimed tracts
to repay at a certain ratio per acrv
the cost of, bringing water to tho

and modified from tlmo to time and
