His "Close Personal Friend"
, Having recovered from the first shock of chagrin, editors
of 1 afternoon . newspapers in Portland are enjoying a tuiet
chuckle at the expense of President William Sproule of the
Southern Pacific and one of his "close personal friends", who
operates a morning newspaper in Klamath Falls.
. 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.

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
