"WE HAVE WITH US
TONIGHT"
I have seen a lot of tliingn I
thought were funny,
I have tangled more than
once with Johnnie IjUw;
There were time I wished
to gracious,
That I hadn't got pugna
cious, When some Hoosier socked
me plenty on the jaw;
I have traveled quite at bit,
If you'll believe me,
I have welshed it when some
tough bird called my bluff;
But to me it deals the devil
That a guy who's on the
level
Ever tried to claim one rail
road is enough.
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.
A guy I hate
U Percy Duff,
When I tnlk fight
Ho culls my bluff.

SALEM, Ore Nov 21
Before the state game com -
mission makes a recommen-
dation for or against the re-
flooding of the lower Klam -
ath lake bed for game pro-
.. i
pagation purposes, the com-
mission is urged in a letter
sent out yesterday by Gov-
ornnr PUrr
careful study of the ques
tion and to visit the land in"
volved.
"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. Much of the land,
says the governor, is fertile
and in time can be made
very productive

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. It is not as
