I have spent a lot of hard earned jack at gambling, I have lost a whole week's check on poker night; I have had the darling missus Start at me with fists not kisses, When I've ambled home a little- bit too "tight," ' I have lost a lot of jobs be cause of temper, I have seen the tide of life at ebb and flow; I am known for being mul ish, And have done things that were foolish, But I never hoped my home town wouldn't grow. I've attended many, many forum luncheons, I have listened to their ora tors orate; I have written reams of booster, Drivel every time some rooster, Tried" to tell us how to steer the ship of state; I've been called a petty crook and a porch-climber I've been told I acted like a mongrel pup ; But I'm telling you, by cracky, I'm not any railroad's lackey" And this town, I still have hopes, will soon wake up.

"I deem it advisable to ! call your attention to the to the recommendations your body may make in this matter," writes the gover nor. "The drainage or re clamation by evaporation, of this large area has form ed quite a part of the his tory of reclamation in Ore gon. Efforts for the drain age of this vast lake area were begun 20 years ago with the formation of the Klamath irrigation project under the United States re clamation service. It was only after prolonged efforts, much opposition, and after many obstacles had been surmounted, that the waters e 1 mrl -ml or me marnacn river were shut out by the gates where the Southern raciric rail way crosses the straits which fed this lake." The letter points out that some of the reclaimed land is now in the Klamath irri gation district which hat is sued bonds and is improving the land.

PRICE FIVE CENTS City Bonds Refused By Local Bank Alleged Error in Proce dure Claimed by Suc cessful Bidders The American National bank, successful bidder for $160,000 worth of Klamath Falls street paving bonds, 'gave notice late yesterday afternoon that it would re fuse to take delivery of the bonds because of alleged il legality in the proceedings which led up to the opening of bids for the bonds. The alleged mistake in legal procedure, set forth in an opinion by D. V. Kuy kendall, attorney for the bank, is that five, days had not elapsed from the time of introduction of bond ord inances to their passage. Through this error, the bank claims, the bonds are illegal. In its communication to the city, the bank requests the city to refund the am ount of its certified check which accompanied their bid, to the amount of $7,034. If the bank can successfully prove to the city council next Monday night that the paving bonds are Il legal, the city must, retrace Its steps, again pass the bond ordinance and re-open bids for tho sale of the paving bonds. If not, then litigation over the dispute will probably take place. City Attorney J. H. Carnahan was reluctant to go Into details on the dispute, but did Issue tho fol lowing statement: "It is my opinion that despite the claims cf the American National bank and their attorney, that the . proceedure leading up to the aalo of the bonds to the bank was legal." E. M. Bubb, cashier of the Ameri can National bank had the following comment to make on the bond dis pute: "In view of our attorney's opln isn on the validity of the bonds, w do not feel safe in taking deliv ery of tjhc bonds and for that rear son have notified the city that ..ve will not take them.
