IT COURT
INVESTIGATION
Bar Association to Meet To
night and Ask for Search
ing Probe
LAWYERS CRITICAL
Docket Clogged and Lawy
ers Can't Keep Clients
is Claim
Demand for a sweeping
investigation of the circuit
court, with its clogged dock
ets and the reported inabil
ity of lawyers to get their
civil cases set for trial will
be made at a meeting of the
Klamath county bar associa
tion at the court house to
night at 8 o'clock.
The criticism of the pres
ent judicial system in Klam
ath county will be contained
in resolutions which have
already been prepared and
which will be presented to'
the association for adoption.
Under the terms of the
resolutions, a committee will
be sought to conduct a
thorough probe of the cir
cuit court and ascertain, if
possible, why, as the law
yers allege, they arc unable
to get their cases tried.
It was reported from an
authentic source today that
the State Bar association has
interested itself in the case
and hae pledged to cooper
ate with the Klamath asso
ciation to bring about a rem
edy for what lawyers term
the present unsatisfactory
condition of affairs.
"Why, it's getti ng so bad
that a lawyer is almost
ashamed to look his clients
in the face," declared one
attorney today. "We are not
trying to stir up strife. All
we want is a betterment of
conditions, and it seems that
the only way they can be
procured is to take some
definite and decisive action,
such as has been planned
for tonight.
Attorneys declare that
there are a number of in
stances wherein cases have
been delayed for two years,
and the docket, they say, is
becoming more clogged
month after month.

Drifts On Lake In
Houseboat For Three
Days
Columbus took a chance but his
experience Is relegated to the shade
by the exploit of Ed Smith, who sight
ed land on the southern end of
Klamath Lake for the first time on
Saturday, after being adrift for three
days on the lake In nn aged and
near leaking house boat.
Smith is employed as watchman
for the California Oregon Power com
pany at Algoma. Thursday he was
watching the dikes at Caledonia
marsh when he discovered a fire had
broken out. There was Just one
thing for him to do and that was
"cut loose." The house boat, old
and pretty much dilapidated, upon
which he makes his home, has no
power or engine and with the cutting
of the ropes which held It fast, the
boat drifted for threo days. When
friends of Smith saw nothing of him
for several days they became alarm
ed and a search was made. C. J.
Swift of the California Oregon Power
company ended all the anxiety and
worry' w-hen he found Smith In the
tulcs across the bay from Squaw
Point. With provisions enough to
last for several days, Smith was none
the worse for his experience and
with the aid of a towing party was
brought into Algoma Saturday night.
"It's the best experience I have
had since the days when I was in
Coxey's army," he declared. For the
first time in six months. Smith paid
a visit to the city, yesterday.
