When President Sproule announced the purchase of the Nevada, California and Eastern railroad as well as the Stra holn foundling the story "broke" at S o'clock at night under personal orders from the Southern Pacific executive. - Editors of the afternoon newspapers in Portland were openly peeved and they sent their railroad reporters to South ern Pacific offices there to' learn why the story had been given out at night instead of during office hours, as is generally always done. The railroad company's excuse was illuminating, to say the least. ' In effect, President Sproule was quoted by Portland offic ials of the company as follows: "I have a close, personal friend who owns a morning news paper in Klamath Falls and I released the story at night as a favor to him, as well as to keep it away from an afternoon paper in Klamath Falls which favors the coming- of the Hill lines to the Klamath country.". . Here in The Herald office we are a bit curious as to the identity of the "close personal friend" of President William Sproule. Who is the Klamath Falls half of this "partnership" which causes a railroad president to hold in a news storv of nation-wide importance? .-... Yc arc not certain, of course, but we have a pretty good hunch that William Sproule's "close personal friend" is a San Francisco financier who holds directorships in more than one power corporation as well as in railroads and banks ; a suave, cultured gentleman who employs a personal press agent' at a salary of $15,000 a year, and who is known throughout the Pacific northwest as a man who believes the one way to stifle public opinion is to own newspapers at various points in the territory where his power corporations and railroads and other business enterprises operate. 'The Evening Herald is honestly glad that Sproule's an nouncement was given to morning newspapers; glad because it realizes that in its fight for the farmers and workers of the Klamath country, it has succeeded in getting under the thick skinned hide of President William Sproule. ' Because it is working with the farmers in their fight for the II ill' lines or any other railroad which desires to come to the Klamath country, The Evening Herald has been appropri ately slapped on the wrist by the Southern Pacific. But Presi dent Sproule and his corps of publicity men cannot write fast enough or give out propaganda news stories fast enough to, stop The Evening Herald in its determination to lift the yoke of Southern Pacific and power company domination from the bent shoulders of Klamath's farmers. the time will come when even these will be their staunchest supporters. They have mado a wonderful fight and the result is going to be complete victory for the district. The secretary of the district, A. M. Thomas, is equally deserving of credit for his efforts in behalf of the farm ers. His every moment has been given to them and his labors have been effective. For the first time in years the farmers have men at the helm who have fought for their interests; who have made the interests of the California Oregon Power company and the Reclamation Service secondary to those of the farmers; who have resolved doubts in favor of the men who hired them; and who have had the courage to stand up under the most disheartening conditions and battle ahead for the rights that have been so long denied the district. Such men are deserving of the support they are receiv ing, fou thev have earned it. a a. .u an, 30. 40. 41. 4:1. 44. 4 5. 47.

TODAY'S CROSSWORD PUZZLE WE HAVE WON 'A great victory for the farmers of this county has just been won by the board of directors of the Klamath Irrigation district and its attorney. For seven years every effort has been put forth by those who have op posed the theft of the water power and power sites from the district, to submit a record upon which a fight could be based. Until the hearing that was held here last week, thi3 effort has been defeated by the Reclamation Service. At this hearing the foundation was laid for future proceedings. Notwithstanding the chairman of the Board of Survey and Adjustment stated that he could not see in any of the mass of evidence presented "one scintilla of fraud," the directors and their attor ney are well satisfied. The one objective of a seven year fight has been gained and from now on the travel ing will be easy. We have won the fight. The Herald wants to assure the farmers under the Klamath project that they are going to have returned to them the property that was stolen by .dishonest gov ernment employes, that the cost of their irrigation will be paid out of the revenue derived from the power; that every acre of land that should come under the waters of Klamath lake will be irrigated; that the well laid plan of the Reclamation Service to steal the water that belongs to these lands and turn it over, free of cost, to the California Oregon Power company, will fail; and finally, that ' the Klamath Project, like the Salt River Project, will be one of the best paying enter prises in the west. R. E. Bradbury and Joe Jacobs, of the .board of dir ectors, and J. H. Carnahan, the attorney for the dis trict, are deserving of the united thanks of every farmer in the district. We" know that there are some who have .opposed these men and done so honestly, but we know w Si: Br "Ml r st1 r-sr ia p-. H wdfr i- uT Mr mr " llIIlIITlpIIC - : -a,! JMl ' kE38 nf HORIZONTAL 1.
