Falls .la tho olden days, with out modorn plumbing left much to be desired, Is the following letter: To the Editor Kindly allow me a small space In your widely read paper. I want to relato some of my plonoerd experiences In the Klam ath county. My father moved to that country from Yamhill county In the year 1871. .. We located in Langell val ley, about 40 miles east of Link river,. Klamath Falls. Modocs took the war path In November, 1S72; in the' next April, 1ST3, we moved to Link River, being tired of liv ing in our little fort at Langell val ley. We built a cabin about a quar ter of a mile east from the bridge which Bpans the Klamath river. There was. a spring of cold water; the road ran on both sides of the spring. My uncle's family and our family used ; water out of this aprlng until way in tho summer, for it was the best water anywhere around and In front of our house. So one day my aunt prevailed on my ancle to clean out the mud in the spring, wall It up so it would be moroc onveulenl to dip out the water. 'After throwing out the mud a foot or more deep ho ran onto a corpse, or rather n di'ud "Injun." To say wo woro fairly upset don't express it. I will 1-avo my renders to guess at the nst. One thine It proves to me, and that Is simply this. Imagination goes a long '.way In the human family. Wo never were stouter, nor healthier than we were when we were using or drink ing tho water, after It was rectified through the carcass of that dead cleaned out, wo wouldn't use the "Injun.'" After tho spring was water at all. Fleaso do not view this story with any distrust, for I have plenty of living witnesses. The spring is in the same old place but paved over with the main street of Klamath Falls. SIMPSON WILSON. Central Point. The spring referred to In Mr, Wilson's letter is believed to be that next to the Winter's building on Main street. That It supplied many old-timers here with their drinking water In the old days is a known fact. LOGGING IN FIR SLOWED BYHIGH RAILROAD RATES SEATTLE, June 10. Ninety per cent of the logging operations in western) Washington using common carriers to transport saw logs to market will be put down it the railroads put into effect announced increases in log rates, it was an nounced here yesterday. "It was the concensus of opin ion," Mr. Bridge said, "that since the 'railroads had irrevocably an nounced their Intention of pntting into effect tariff No. 29, increasing - present rates an average of 40 to 60 per cent, it would be impossible for loggers to operate under these charges, and they would have to discontinue." v . Other loggers have their own railroads and will not be affected by increased log rates....... , 1 1 . BIG CUT , ' ' .'

To men, the recent snowing of Dante's Inferno was a great com fort. Most of he lost souls In tho Infernal regions are women, appar ently. Perhaps William Fox had more to do with the relative num ber of men and women appearing in the picture than Dante, but we hope not, atd believe not, and trust that Dante took an accurate census, and that Fox stuck closely to the great poet's estimate.

Present methods of doing business make It very dif ficult to know Just what to expect in a shipment. . Fair Volume of Business, But Prices are Far From Good VISITS IN SOUTH Mrs. WW Hardberger, wife of Sawyer Hiftdberger of Ewauna mill, loft last week to visit with friends and relatives in Louisiana, their former home. "Alaska" Jack Giclnan, one of tho oldest of "mushors," who pio neered over the frozon Northland long before thero wero any trails, has made his last mush. From show-covered Nome he has gone to a little vine-covered cottage In Hollywood. According to Ous Dieckman, man ager of the Dieckmann Hardwood Co., San Francisco, there Is at fairly large volume of business to be had, but prices, In sympathy with soft woods, are not what they should be. This company Is specializing largely on Japanese oak flooring and Philip pine mahogany sawn veneers. Logs are Imported fr:m Japan and sawed In the company's own sawmill on the premises. A flvefoot band mill and a veneer mill, are operated. The Philippine woods, largely red lauan, are purchased In the form of sawn flitches. . At present the company's activi ties are largely concentrated on the manufacture of square-edged Japan ese oak . flooring, made In the fol lowing sizes In three' grades: Seven eighth, one and one-eighth, one and three-quarters and two Inches wide, 18 Inches and up In length and all flve-slxteenths-lnch wide. The pieces shorter than 18 Inches are made Into parquetry flooring, In squares ap proximately 10x10 Inches, glued to gether on a paper backing. These squares are accurately milled to fit perfectly Into a completed floor. A large demand has bee'n created for these parquetry squares, which util ize almost every scrap of waste, A sizable stock of California white oak In the log form Is carried at all times. Formerly the Dieckmann company, dealt extensively in Mex ican bardwoods, such as' Jonlaoro and prima vera,- but competition from American gum has rosultcd in the discontinuation of these species. Some Spanish cedar for the cigar box- trade of San Francisco Is also sawed. ' In discussing the growth of tho Philippine hardwood trade, Mr. Dieckmann stressed the need for stricter Interpretation of grade and greater care In segregating the dif ferent species. Consignemonts ar rive in San Francisco with a wide range of species and color, when the order was specifically for one wood XO LIXQVIST S. C. Millard, Ewauna -blacksmith, I declares that he has a fair under standing of the English langunge, but that Portugese or Italian are un intelligible to him, especially when shrieked by an angry woman. WIX8 DECISION In the recent unpublished fight card at the Ewauna mill, Sandy won a decision over Blacky. The affair 'was neither invitational nor pay as 'you enter, and was witnessed only by Harry Hoxworth's snuff chewers. - FISH?

KROM ALGOMA Oliver Davis, manager of tho At goma ball team, was In Klamath Falls on business Saturday.

Million Feet for Four. -Months , Pacific coast lumber products are witnessing a atoadify growing demand In tho Gulf Coast states. During 1924 lumber shipments by water to this section aggregated about 13,000,000 feet. For tho first four months of 1025 the shlpmonts have totaled over 6,000,000, feet, as compared with 1,969,000 foot for the same porlod In 1924.

Houston, Toxas, during the month of Decombor, 1924, shipped In a total of 1,180, 000 feot. Tho above figures only roprosent the water-borno lumber movement and consideration must bo glvon to the large quantity of shingles also moving by water.
