A ViClttUS CAMPAIGN
A noted character is reported to have said: "Lie! 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

.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.

tune ot tnousanqs.
"The newSDaner sunnorts a vnilmjivl Tho railrnorl
buys a tract of land from Mr. Eberlein. Mr. Eberlein's
money finds its way to the newsnaDer. 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.
