Further Bonds Certified (Continued front Pago One) of both the lake bed lands and the marginal lands, that has been demon strated beyond question by actual crops grown thereon during the sea son of 1925. We feel that the citizens and tax payers of Klamath cpunty generally are now beginning to see what the development of this immense .body of. land means- to Klamath county and northern California in the fu ture. We have had the confidence most of the people of this com munity all through our years of ef fort, but there have been a few who had not the vision to see the wonder ful possibilities of the lower Klamath lake lands. They could only see It in its wild and unreclaimed state. There are also people who have lis tened to the so-called soil experts of the reclamation service, hut to these people we can only say that these same experts told Frank Alc C'ornatk that his land was not suit- Bonded Indebtedness is over One MUKon; $112,00 Redeemed This Year Present bonded indebtedness of the city of Klauiatli Falls Is H, 220.r94.(t3.

To dale this year Mr. Orem has redeemed $112.- 000 In improvement bonds. noudod Indebtedness of the city is nearly divided between improve ment bonds and general obligation bonds.

A fwlre from Neg Yearger's man ager was to the effect that Yeager had broken his hand In training yesterday, go Sylvester at once got busy on the wire to find the beat heavyweight he could find. Keeler has fought gome of the J best heavyweights In the country. able for farming purposes.

Now, however, we all know J Dienty of ring experience and with what Frank McCornack, the Ocary brothers and others have done with the marginal lands on the upper Klamath lake, and this year's crop is proven what the lands on the lower Klamath lake will do. Knougli Bird Reserves There are also a few people of the county who honestly feel that (he lands of the lower Klamath lake hould be HHed for a bird preserve. but we wish to call their uttentlon to he fact that there are thousands of acres of marsh lands In Klamath and lake counties, Oregon and Siskiyou county, California,, that will always remain in their natural stale and take care of the bird life of this section. The same cry has been raised against all of the great drainage projects throughout the United Btates. We feel. In view of the remaining 1m nrense lake areas in this and adjacent counties, that the lands of the lower Klamath lake will he far more val uable to this community and better used If made available for fertile farms and homeseekere. "We want the cooperation of all of the people of Klamath county In our work. It has meant years of painstnklng toil and sacrifice to ui, but we know now that with the cobp eratlon of the governor of this state, the state securities commission and the people of this community, the reclamation ot these lands la assured. an even better record on tho coast than Yeager. The rest of the card is being rapidly shaped up In order to give the Klamath fans a regular all star card. The boys will start their heavy training at' Scandlu hall tonight at 7 o"clock, rwhere Ritchie and oth er local boys who will get on the card will go through their prelim inary paces.
