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

of the reclamation service, hut to
these people we can only say that

lake. 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.
