With a bang that should be heard clear in Washington,
the first gun in behalf of the people, of Klamath county
was fired yesterday afternoon, when residents of the '
Malin section went on record as favoring the construc
tion of the Oregon Trunk railroad into this territory.. If ;
anyone in and around Malin was not present, it was
because he was out of the county. '
Careful count revealed over two hundred and fifty
persons present and the enthusiasm with which they
greeted every 'expression favorable to the Oregon Trunk,
demonstrated beyond doubt that the sentiment in the
Tule lake valley is practically unanimous for , the Hill'
