EXTRADITION
CALIFORNIA MAN
Offer Made to
Donate Lumber
for City Signs
Carpenters and Paint
ers Also Offer
Services .
It appeared a , certainty
today that Klatnath Falls
would have a complete sys
tem of good, serviceable
street signs long before ths
snow flies and at no cost
to the city as a municipality.
On behalf of the Lakeside
Lumber company, Jack Slat
er today came forward with
an offer to donate all sign
boards for the city, all of
them cut to size.
The Almetcr brothers of
Portland, who have the con
tract for constructing the
new Central school building
have agreed to put their
force of carpenters to work
nailing the sign boards to
the posts.
W. E. and J. E. Patter
son, painters, have offered
their services in helping to
letter the signs, and get
them all in readiness to
place.
Just two more donations
arc needed in order to make
the street signs a reality.
The posts will have to be
donated by one of the lum
ber companies, while some
body will have to agree to
assist the street commission
in placing the signs.
When these donations are
made, everything will be
rffrdy,to o, nd Kbrth
Falls residents will" then
have the signs which have
been so badly needed for
many years.
Civic pride can accomp
lish almost anything if you'll
just give it a chance.

''
If the opinion of 1. it. VaiiW'Inkle,
attorney geuirul for Oregon, holds
good, tho California Oregon Tower

Tho anion of the state engineer

Klamath Irrigation district an op

the permit was Issued It. K. Ilrnd
bttry unit Joe Jacob, directors of tho
district promptly lippenled to the
attorney general, who' sustained
their content ion that the state en
gineer had exceeded his authority.
It Is the opinion of the attorney
general that tho California Oregon
Power company bus Required no
rights to any water that may be
stored by reason of the l.lnk river
dam, for the reason that section 1
of chapter f, Oregon I-aws, "would
preclude tho use of said lake for
tho purposo of storing water by
private Individuals and corporations,
especially without securing authority
therefor from tho Slate ot Oregon."
The opinion further states that no

It was only' through tho prompt
and vigorous action of Directors
Hrudliuiy and Jacob that tho ,liwcr

plan seeming to have been to secure
a technical title nml then havo the

Two thousand acres of second
growth alfalfa in Klamath, have
been stripped ns clean as linoleum
floors or are in the process or being
stripped by millions of army worms
which nre swarming fields of Klam
ath during the night time nnd hiding
under shocks of hay during the day.
Grain fields ot the lower Klamath
project and the Tule lake country,
are free from army worm Infesta
tion, nnd nothing points to na early
Infestation by the worms.
These are the salient features of
the report of Frank W. Sexton, act
ing county agent, and C. I). Chorpen
ing, special expert employed by tho
county to meet the crisis.
Conditions Serious
Seriousness of the infestation was
demonstrated to a Herald reporter
on the Ous Ililyard ranch fivo miles
south of town on the Merrill road.
Vnder every wisp of hay that af
forded tho slightest bit of shade or
protection, were found scores and
hundreds of army worms, awaiting
the cqniing of evening so that their
onslaught on fields of hay might
commence.
On "a field which should be cov
ered with a two Inch growth ot al
falfa, nothing remained but tho stub
ble ot the first crop ot hay which
had been stacked several days be
fore. Over In ono " corner of the
field, was a little patch ot second
growth liny which furnished tho on
looker a basis of comparison In de
termining the damage done to the
crops.

A careful Investigation disclosed
that the worms had not ravaged the
grain laden fields of southern Klnm

of infestation was imminent.

' Granted Canadian Con
victed of Murder
CHICAGO, July 24.
Almost at the hour of his
death march, Russell Scott,
yesterday escaped the gal
lows for the second time
within a week.
The former Canadian fin
ancier, twice reprieved from
paying the supreme penalty
for the murder of a Chicago
drug clerk in a hold-up,
dodged the noose for the
third time less than four
hours before he was to have
been executed when Judge
Joseph B. David granted a
stay of execution pending a
hearing into his sanity.
A week ago, six hours be
fore he was to hang, Gover
nor Small ' granted a one
week's reprieve, which ex
pired this morning. ..Judge
David, called out of bed a
few hours before the time
for the execution convened
a special session of court
and granted the stay after
Governor Small and the state b)ard
of pardons and paroles last night at
Springfield refused further clemency

indicating he cannot hear it be

Scotts escape from death to'hiy,
like that a week ago, came attor
'ie and his relatives had virtually
abandoned hope. Thomas S.-ott, his
father, had called at the Jail Uueo
hours previously to bid him a last
farewell, the second suoh visit in a
week. ' ' ' 1 .
Mrs. Catherine Scott, his faithful
wife, who, for weeks fought to ob
tain a commutation, played what
sie believed to be her final card. In
Springfield, where she appeared be
fore tile board of pardons, and whon
the s,t ay was granted, 'was rushing
from Springfield to Chicago by auto
mobile to bid her 'husband fjre-
ell almost at the 'minute of his
execution. She arrived t find the
eanrt actioa had aMpped the hang
ing. Happy Again . -i
Scott, who had been surly and
defiant througUout the night and
whs apparently was completely, re
signed to 'his tale received the
news that hU lite was spared at
least temporarily with considerable
surprise. He hud known nothing
about the lust mioute appeal ot the
o'Jtirt. " .J'.i
"I'm tl'.kled to dea'.'V were hit
first 'w'ords. : ' - .
Then upon learning that the stay
had been -granted t'j learn If Lie were
sane, S:ott added: "I'm no more
eras than the Judge who grantod
me a stay on thut account. I am
not asking for any sympathy" from
any one, either. I, am Innocent."
