While definite statements concerning possible admis sions of the suspects were not made by either the police department or the sheriff's office, it is known that the shadow of suspicion rests heavily upon the four men picked up last night by Chief of Police Harry M. Loucks and his patrolmen. The four men came to Klamath Falls from Los An geles just about the time the present series of safe rob beries in Klamath Falls began. Their activities have been closely watched by police during the past few days and facts sufficient to warrant their detention were learned last night. The four men are well dressed, neat and stylish. Two are about 30 years of age, and obviously the leaders. The two other men are young and slim and neatly attired. The four men have been in Klamath Falls about five weeks, during which time they have been under the mrveillance of police. They have not been working, ac cording to the police. Their names are withheld pending further investigation. (illASUH IN CltKW Mrs. Kllboinm. of White Pelleim Hotel Hetiirns From Filseo Mis.

Gentlemen: '1 - i A railway irom Klamath Falls south to eastern connection would Increase the price we receive for wool and lambs to a point that would materially affect our annual receipts. Careful 'calculation shows that such main line railway facili ties would add one dollar and titty eer.ts to the price of each lamb sold in Klamath county. We understand the Hill lines have declared their intention of entering this territory.- '.
