To this Mr. I.yle replied that he was not in favor of giving any exclusive franchises and that he would favor only franchises that contained the common-user clause.

October 24, 1925 BE SURE TO VOTE The election next Wednesday will be one of the most important ever held in this city, for it going to have a distinct bearing upon the coining of the Oregon Trunk.

THE CITY PARK DEAL There is a well-laid plot to defeat the efforts of the Oregon Tnmk to secure that portion of the city park for which it has been offered annrovimatplv sisnnn The scheme is to offer it in such a way that if the L Krom s ouumem racmc aoes not cany out its offer, the Oregon Trunk cannot buy what it requires, unless it buys all of the property. In addition, there is to be a third' party to the deal, so that when the Southern Pacific either refuses to buy all, or offers a price for the whole site, this third party will step in and make a slightlv hitrher offer. Under the law, the highest bidder, must be awarded the park-site and the Oregon Trunk will hp lfr t - :. . ...... r. nuiumg uie baCK Wlin US ngnt Ot Way along KlVersiCle I The second question asked by -Mr. street, and no terminal grounds upon which to erect !

We are citing this one scheme to show to the people of the Second Ward that the railroad question is a vital one in this election and to show them, and the rest of the people in the city, that the -Southern Pacific is still at work on its plan, to so fence in Klamath Falls that it will be practically impossible for the Oregon Trunk to enter, except at such a staggering price that it will abandon the attempt. The test will come in the selection of a councilman. If the people of the Second Ward want the free and untrammeled entrance of the Oregon Trunk, then 0. A. Smith must be defeated not only defeated by a small majority, but by such an ovenvhelming vote that it will serve notice upon the present members of the city council that they must cease fighting Mayor God dard's railroad program. tat or better service?"

THAT $300,000 STEAL Right today there is being carried on a scheme where by the Southern Pacific will make a compromise deal with the city in the matter of the $300,000 that Klamath Falls has invested in the Strahorn railroad. Under these negotiations this city will be gypped out of at ieaet half of this money, if not all. The result of the second ward election is to have an important bearing on this question. If O. A. Smith is overwhelmingly de feated, the council is going to take it as an indication of the sentiment of the entire city and will not dare cany out any plan that has for its purpose a settlement less than the full amount of the money advanced for the construction of this railroad. The people of the second ward, just as do the people of th.e entire city, know that Klamath Falls put up this $300,000 with the distinct understanding that this rail road was to be built to Bend and bring into this city the Hill lines. If they had known that the line was to be turned over to the Southern Pacific, they never would have voted one cent. Now that Strahorn has sold out the city, betrayed the confidence the people reposed in him and turned the line over to the Southern Pacific, the people want that money back eveiy penny of it. They are not going to make any other settlement possible by electing to the city council a man who will fight Mayor Goddard, through whose efforts it has become possible for the Northern lines to get into Klamath Falls. That is why we confidently expect to see O. A. Smith over whelmingly defeated next Wednesday. HAVE PROMISES BEEN MADE? Shortly before the city council passed the ordinance calling the second ward election, various parties began interesting themselves in the candidacies of those seek ing the office of councilman. Among these were "Bill" Lee, county assessor, who now seems to be one of the chief pooh bahs of the O. A. Smith campaign. Mr. Lee called upon A. J. Lyle and asked him to be a can didate for councilman. After Mr. Lyle had announced his candidacy, Mr. Medford or Klamath Kalis and '. '-' a passenger train Into Portland.'"
