Directors Make Plea
For Additional Time
To Pay Delinquencies
Claim That Foreclosures Would Be Fatal to
Future of District Nylander and Drew
Launch Attack Against Bradbury
To switch all tax delinquencies onto the construction
charges and thus allow the 126 district farmers who
are delinquent, ample time to meet their obligations
would be a solution to the tax question on the Klamath
Irrigation district, R. E. Bradbury, chairman of the
board of directors of the district told the board of survey
and adjustment this morning.
It developed that the delinquent irrigation taxes of
the district amounted to $98,000, which plus penalty and
interest totalled $114,000 Thirteen thousand acres, or
approximately one third of the district was announced as
total acreage delinquent on this district.
Mr. Ilrudbury eiipialncil to tnu

and that this did not sell for enough

Chairman Campbell suggested that
If they ever expected to make those
lands pay it would be necessary for
them to turn tbo alfalfa into beet

said that local capitalists should
help the homestuudurs to finance

NO HOPE FOR
60 BURIED
MINING MEN
Eight Bodies Recovered
Fear After-Damp
Fatal to Others
coal (;li:x. x. c, may ,
tlH. (A.r.) The glimmer of
hope that somo of' the throe
scon? or more miners entombed
In the Carolina Coal ' company
mine curly yesterday might be
rescued alive. . wavered and '
went out eurly today in tho
hearts of rescue workers who
through the night had labored .
in the recesses ot the mine.
After-damp, dread enemy of the
miners, claimed their lives, if they
survived the series of explosions
which closed their escape to the
surface, rescue workers t declared.
Hut despite this belief, which gained
headway through tho night,' they
labored no lesH fuithfully in - the
effort to reach their Imprisoned
comrades of yesterday.
Anxious Itelutives
Throughout the night, hundreds
of men, women and children, rela
tives of the entombed men, strained
against the barrier ropes surround
ing the dusky entrance to the
mine. '." .
For hours after the , disaster,
hope was entertained that tbo im
prisoned men might still live. This
hope was nurtured by, the report
that frosh air had Iwen encountered
by workers as they tolled down
ward seeking the entombed men. -'
Hope Abandoned
As the cable drew Its creaking
burden Into the outer .darkness,
time after ; time, and fresh crews
of rescuers replaced tired workers
until the 1S00 foot level had been
reached. Without bringing evidence
of the imprisoned men, the belief
grew that after-dump had claimed
as Its toll the lives which might
have survived the. explosions.
Early today eight bodies repre
sented the sole fruit of the labor
of rescuo workers. Mlifo officials
expressed the opinion that between
50 and 05 men still were buried
beneath tho 1500 foot level.
Arrival ot a mine rescue car
from West Virginia, whence it was
ordered by the bureau of mines to
day, was expected to facilitate the
work of rescue.
