Being Commemorated by Patriots
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Cimtom of previous years
was largely followed in the program of the official ob
fiervance today of the seventh anniversary of the world
war armistice.
Leading the nation in its tribute to those who fell in
the struggle, President Coolidge had arranged to make a
pilgrimage to Arlington national cemetery to lay a
wreath on the unknown soldiers tomb. Following a cus
tom inaugurated by President Harding, the presidential
ceremony there was fixed for 11 o'clock the hour of the
signing of the Armistice.
With all government business suspended for a minute
or two at that hour as a tribute of silence to the war
dead, the president and his cabinet had suggested that
the nations activities as a whole might fittingly be

Elected Directors 01
District By Big Vote
Water Users Administer Stinging Rebuke to
Copco and Reclamation Service; Drew
and Carleton Snowed Under
Water users of the Klamath irrigation district yester
day used the ballot to administer a stinging rebuke to
the tactics of the Reclamation Service, the California
Oregon Power company and their lesser satellites.
By a vote of more than two to one, the Klamath farm
ers elected Joe Jacob and Lum Short as their directors,
a:id thus gave assurance that during the next two years
the power and watr rights of the farmers would re
main inviolate.
For the three-year term, Joe Jacob. defeated Charles
E. Drew by a vote of 239 to 101.
For the one-year term, Lum Short defeated G. H. Ca.
leton by a vote of 250 to 96.
Interest was at a high pitch throughout - the district
and voting was unusually heavy. In the Short-Carleton
contest a total of 346 votes was cast, while in the Jacob
Drew race, there were 340 votes.
In some precincts votes were thrown out-because they
were improperly marked. In all, it was estimated that
at least 375 of the approximately 400 water users went
to the polls.
In only one precinct, Merrill, did Drew and Carleton
get a majority. This was Carleton's home precinct, which
gave both him and Drew a slight majority.
