MONDAY,
VOTE YOUR CONVICTIONS
. On 'another- page of this issue will be found a ballot
on the question of whether or not the Strahom railroad
should be granted an exclusive right to' cross Sixth street.
The Evening Herald urges that all of its readers mark
their ballots and mail or bring them to The Herald office.
The railroad situation in Klamath county and Central
Oregon at the present time is of mighty importance. It
is a matter winch concerns every man, woman or child
in Klamath county, and will play an important part
of this great empire.
Those Klamath residents who have lived here during
tfie past decade are fairly familiar with the. history of
the Strahom road. They remember the intense- enthu
siasm which was. aroused when it appeared that Strahom
was to give Central Oregon adequate rail connections
with the outside world. But that is all a part of history,
today, after nine years of waiting, Klamath county has
a little 40-mile road over uncertain roadbed as a monu
ment to the promises of Strahom and' the hopes and
faith of the people. Lakeview is yet without the prom
ised rail connections. . Bonanza, too, is still waitingffor
the promised branch lines. So, too, are Merrill and
Malin, both of which were assured that Strahom branch
lines would soori tap their fertile valley. .... .. ,
', Frankly the Evening Herald does not believe that the
. Strahorn railroad should have an exclusive franchise
- across Sixth street. ' ' '
1 But what do you think? This is a question which is
now before the city council. Let them know how you
feel about it. Mark your, ballot today and send it to the
Herald office., : ..... .
And now the conservatives of England have intro-.
duced a measure providing- for pensions to widows,
orphans and persons between the ages "of 65 and 70.
It i3 patterned after the 50-year old German plan and
will probably be adopted. -,.-.r.

Atoms are supposed to be en

furnish power enough, according
to the scientists, to drive the
Leviathan across the Atlantic.
Only it's-hard to release.
