to the minds of bis auditors once
again, that this constructive program
will be seriously ombnrrusso I If "de
structive competition" out the
field. Or, to put it baldtv, if the
Northern lines enter Kl annua, nil
those. Southern Pacific extensions
will probably bo either abandoned or
will bo modified.

Local Dairy
Closed; Two
Fever Cases
Preliminary Signs of
Typhoid Epidemic
Break Out
Two cases of typhoid fev
er have been reported to
the county health office.
One Klamath dairy has
voluntarily gone out of bus
iness and samples from an
other dairy are on their way
to the state board of health.
Both cases of typhoid fev
er have been quarantined
and are under the closest
surveillance.
Yesterday noon, report of
the two typhoid cases was
made to the county health
office. Thirty minutes later
it was found that the milk
supply of both cases of ty
phoid was from the same
dairy.
In a short time, the pro
prietor of the establishment
was interviewed by the
health officer and rather
than submit himself and his
employes to an examination
to determine whether or not
there was typhoid carrier
working on the place, the
dairyman agreed to cease
business.
"I am through for good,"
he is quoted as saying.
Another dairy was investi
gated, and samples of milk
were sent to the state board
of health to be tested.
"There is nothing . to be
worried about at this time,"
the health officer said to
day. "Quick action in the
matter has probably check
ed anv possible spread of
the disease."
The dairy which was clos
ed is located on the Mid
land road, about three miles
from town, it was estimated.
