Lie! Lie! some will stick." That seems to be the slogan of those opposing the candidacies of .Shqrt and Jacob. Never in our experience in Klamath county have we seen such wanton, wilful, premeditated misrepresenta tion as that characterizing the campaign. And since it is only starting, we presume it will increase in. virulence and venom as it progresses. As to the charges pertaining to the Enterprise Land and Investment company land : When the reclamation service came here, this com pany gave it, free of charge, twenty-five acres of land tor the main canal nnrl nvpr frmr milac f- lot-araic rii.,.-., - - - ...nvo 1 1 IIIVLIILIC, IIH..TI. being laterals B, C, D, and F.

V. .me jmi, uuuug .ui in nuifu ume every eiiorc 01 ine company to secure' water for the land "proved futile. eclamatiori service refused to let this company use the right of way it had donated for the lateral to reach this property and when it sought to bring water to the land along a public highway, it was enjoined. Then lotice was served upon the reclamation service that ho further charges would be paid by the Enterprise Land and Investment company until water was delivered. In the meantime thousands of dollars had been spent by the company in testing this soil for agriculture, and each attempt met with failure. Experts from the United States agricultural department Were called in and they pronounced the land, WORTHLESS FOR AGRCUL TURE. Then the company sought to have the land ex cluded from the district, which was resisted by the re clamation service in persuahce of its policy of per secution of the owners of the property. When the ir rigation district was established, the law provided for .! 1 or! 1.UI .1 ' J" 'J 1 'it i lue pruceeuure iv oe ionowea in naving sucn lana ex cluded and at the hearing that was held no representa tive of the government put in an appearance, although they had ample notice. Instead one of those imperial istic telegrams was sent and which was properly ignored, and the board, following the law, gave to the Enterprise Ldnd and Investment -company the relief to which it was properly entitled. , No man, with a spark of fairness or decency in his veins, will condemn the board for its action. The members did only what honest men should have done and we challenge anyone to advance any reason why it should not have done as it did do. Another lie published is that the present board of directors has employed a stenographer at $150 per month. The board has no stenographer. It has em ployed an experienced bookkeeper to build up a set of books ,that are essential to the district and which should have been opened seven years ago. This will be the first year in which the taxroll of the district was prer pared in the district office, the work heretofore having been, done by the reclamation service. Just as soon as the books are brought up to date, the services of the Jiookkeeper will end. Secretary Thomas has done all of the district's work himself and if the books in ques tion had been in such shape that he could have taken up the work at the date on which he entered office, no. additional employe would have been necessaiy. In fairness to the former secretary, it is only just to say that he had Undertaken the work that Mr. Thomas is carrying on, a work that had necessarily been delayed betause of the difficulty in working out a proper sys tem. This COlild not be determiner! until mat what waa needed was developed. The same expense would have been incurred, no matter who was secretary or what board was in power. These two instances show the viciousness and un scrupulousness of those fighting the election of Jacob and Short. Why are they doing it? Let us tell you why : The. California Oregon Power company must gain con trol of the waters of Klamath lake and thus prevent the irrigation of all land available for cultivation under the project. If all of the irrigable land is brought into cultivation, for four months in the summer the Klamath river will be, to all practicable purposes, dry, It will mean that the power plants on that river will be idle during that period. That is one reason why the fight to beat Jacob and Short is so bitter. Another reason is that the present board, and the fut ure board as it will be consituted through the election of Jacob and Short, will compel the California Oregon Power company to pay for the surplus water that the reclamation service insists shall be furnished to them free of charge. This will mean a revenue of approxi mately $100,000 a year that will have to be paid to the district by the California Oregon Power company. These are two of the reasons why the Klamath News, the recognized mouthpiece of the California Oregon For Skty Cents Worth of Nuts Power company;" is so viciously attacking the board of directors" and why this campaign of their's will go down in history as one of the most vicious in the county's uistory. - -7- vr,- Drys Mobilize Against Change of Volsteadisni WASHINGTON Nov, 4.

A vicious cvcle. surely." s Now, the only local newspaper in which Mr. Eberlein might desire to invest his money would be the Evening Herald. Surelv hp wonlrl not. hp pvnpr'tprl tn fnvpst nnv in the Klamath News, the mouthpiece of the S. P.-Copco outfits. Mr. Eberlein is too much of a gentleman to be found in such company. Just to bring the matter to a head, we have the fol lowing proposition to make to the Klamath News: The Herald Publishing company will pay to any char ity to be named by the Rotaiy club, the Kiwanis club and the Chamber of Commerce, $5,000 if the Klamath News will produce any evidence sustaining its charge, or evi dence going to show that Charles Wood Eberlein, or any one else, has a dollar invested, either directly or indi rectly, in The Evening Herald, or has promised, directly or indirectly, to invest in The Evening Herald; or has contributed one dollar towards the support of The Even ing Herald, outside of the legitimate charges made for any display advertising that may have appeared in The Evening Herald in the regular course of business and at the regular commercial rates charged to any advertiser. To be brief, The Klamath News has lied and we would like an opportunity to prove it. The only condi tion attached to this offer is that if the Klamath News fannot oakp fnorl on its oharop if will turn nvw tr O O I-' " I FT.. VM.l. U I VI lW the three organizations named $5,000, to be distributed for such charitable purposes as they may elect. Time and again charges have been made against this paper and its editor that money has been paid for its ima nicic uccn a man who saiu ne paid for it. If there is. we challenge. him to cnmn for. ward now. When The Evening Herald supports an is sue it does go because it believes it to be right and all the money and influence in the world could not change or secure that support. If this ioumalistic Judas Can lirnvp what it r1airvia Het it do so. If it cant, then let it bear the brand of Ananias for all future time. ; not a candidate. The S. P.-Copco crowd would like to I divert attention from the real issues the theft of the waters of Klamath lake and the shutting out of the Northern lines. But the farmers can't be fooled. They know the. game and they are tromir to vote solidly for Short and Jacob. In doing so they are going to kee.p control of their own affairs, instead of transferring it to Washington, where their rights and interests can be given away by the reclamation service bureaucrats. We wonder if Mr. Li. L. Gaghagen, ostensible mentor of the citv council, has finally learned that City bngmcoi Henrv did have the annroval of a reeistered engineer? As we remarked once before, if Mr. Gaghagen will attend to the business for which he was employed, he will be familiar with the records of his office. That is all that is expected of him and that is the least service he should render for the pay he receives.

Those who wanted it were in town on the street corners; those who didn't were out on their farms, at work. The idea of mass relief is just about exploded, and the government should not be made a free hospital for chronic financial invalids." G. W. OFFIELD, Klamath Falls.
