Cases originated here in Klam

Bonanza, where ' Myers was appear
ing In 'the role of prosecutor toidoy.
Around the court house it was re
ported that in addition to Myers' ex

wise would be compelled to pay the
expenses of thoso state witnesses
whom the acting district attorney Is
taking to Bonanza.
Earlier this week Myers look a

to "get even" ""With Justlco Hun

Until the Myers "Peeve" Is satiat

Visiting-Here ,

"Reports that the, Louisiana lum
ber, market is on a terrific down
ward slump are erroneous,", de
clared 'J. W.. Clarkson, 4 -who. with
his. daughter,. Miss Jeannette Clark
son is visiting in Klnmat'h .Falls for
several da'.vs from their home in
Clnrks, Louisiana, located in ..the
midst of the long leaf yellow pine
belt. - ', ' ..-' ;,
"Louisiana lumbermen aro facing
no more of a predicament than
any other lumbermen in the .entire
country," Clarkson stated loyally,
"and when remarks aro made about
the timber owners who look toward
the west, those who speak do hot
realize that the only reason is for
further holdings of the great un-
worked timber resources of the
western coast."
Clarkscn, himself a lumberman,
speaks from experience. He has
spent a great amount of time in the
west and was a visitor in Klamath
Falls last year for some time. In
company with Charles S. Elms, an
exporting lumberman from San
Francisco, and Miss Clarkson, the
party left, for Medford thi3 morn
ingf, expecting to return to Klam
ath" Falls before completing their
western trip. They will also inspect
lumber conditions in Washington
while on the coast.
Conditions in the west are no
more than what they Should be with
the vast amount of timber resources
to be tapped, thinks Clarkson. His
interest,, like the interest of Imany
Louisiana and other southern tini
bermen. is keen in the development
of the standing timber in Oregon,
Washington and California. .
