BLUFFS William Cole Removed From Klamath Work Assistant to McBride Leaves This Terri tory "William Cole, special state ag ii'. will no longer act as an arresting officer in Klamath county. He has not been fired nor disgraced, but circumstances have arisen which necessitate his removal from this territory." This was tho statement Issued this morning by Cole's superior, State Prohibition Agent L. l. Mc Bride. "Cole's work has been excellent during my absence," McBride said. "He has taken part In raids which have netted 11775 in fines to the county and state. One cannot ig nore a record of that sort and I am the first to give him credit." Asked whether or not Cole's com mission would be taken from bim, McBride replied: Not Sure "Of that I can't be sure. But at this time I doubt whether it will bo taken. "Cole's activities in prevention of liquor manufacture and sale has naturally made him many enemies. These enemies have started stories which have reached my ears. Since my return I have gone to tho trou ble of running down some of the worst, and have found nothing against the officer." Dissatisfaction with Cole among the ranks of other officers within the county has been noticeable and it is believed by court house attaches that this is one of the reasons why McBride has seen lit to relieve Cole of his duties as special state agent in Klamath. It is known that the police force and certain members of the sheriffs force have criticized Cole and his methods. In the interest of harmony with local officers, it is believed that McBride transferred Cole. "If the time comes, in another territory when I would need an active officer," McBride remarked this morning. "I would probably se lect Cole for the work, but not in the Klamath territory.. His work is through here." Creates Scene In Court Room Father of Alice Rhine- lander Scores At torney WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. Dec. 3.

In the county we have approximately 1000 now consumors and within the city approximately 700. This situ ation has naturally given rise to a problem of distribution. We find it necessary to make "power Hue ex tensions here and there, to en large the carryins capacity of the linoa and to extend tho water niains to serve more people.

Ne.v ' power lines and transforemors, suffici ent to raise the carrying capacity from 4000 to 34,000 volts, will bo installed. Cost of the Job will bu approximately $25,000. Taking tho 3.7 persons to tho consumer ratio. It is found i:i tlio recoi .is of the , power company, that the population of Klamath Fulls H in tho neighborhood of 10,000. "In what wo call district number 1, whiri includes Klamath Falls. Altamont, Shaw-Bertram nnd Pell can City, a three way check roveulH that there is between 10.000 and 10,700 within that district.
