She Used to Be Sorta Tough
Here, Pioneer's Letter Says
Indlcatlvo of tho fact that Klam
ath. 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

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.

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

but that Portugese or Italian are un

shrieked by an angry woman.
WIX8 DECISION

BRISON GULF
Shipments Total Over Five.
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. Of
tho lumber movomont for tho first
part of 1925, Jacksonville, Fla.,
was tho distributing port for 2,
863,318 foet; Houston, Toxas, for
1,093,331 feet; Now Orleans, La.,
for 578,389 foet; Mobllo, Ala., for

ume, as Indicated by tho rocont re
