W it ur nitty KLAMATH FALLS, Senator Presents Bill For Klamath Fed eral Building In compliance with his promise to the people of Klamath county, United States Senator Robert N. Stanficld today, introduced in congress a bill providing for the construction of a $250,000 federal building in Klamath Falls. "Knowing the great need there for a federal building, I shall do my best to secure it at this session of cong ress," Senator Stanfield tele graphed the Evening Her ald. This action on the part of Oregon's junior senator comes as the result of ef forts initiated several months ago through the chamber of commerce, and the subsequent appointment of a special federal build ing committee to gather the needed data for the Oregon delegation in congress. At the meeting of the chamber of commerce direc tors today noon, L. L. Ga ghagen, chairman of the federal building committee, reported that Ids organiza tion had completed the as sembling of all necessary data and had forwarded it to Senator Stanfield and McNary and Congressman Sinnott. This data shows the rapid and substantial ! growth 61 Klamath Falls during t he past year and the existing reasons why this city should be given a fed eral building. If congress appropriates the $250,000 urged by Sen ator Stanfield, the building would be of sufficient size to take care of all federal offices in this district for some years to come. While visiting here less than two weeks ago Senator Stanfield said he would recommend that the building be con structed on the unit system in order that it could be enlarged when the needs of the district warranted it.

'"In the first place, these people should be given every opportunity of proving Whether or not this land can bo reclaimed." he told the sportsmen, as one of the speakers at the nnnual duck banquet. "This la not a matter of a few months or a Tew season's cropa. These should be given a reasonable time, of two or three years at th" very least. Then, ir it Is proven tli.it tho lands, or port ot the lands, cannot be re claimed, it will be surriclent time to plun tor their retloodlng and use as n bird reserve. "If. however. It Is finally found the land runnot be successfully tanned, these rurmera who are put ting thousands of dollars into the project should be repajd.

Is worthless, and could better be used us n bird reserve."

It had been plucked of a material phrase here and divested of another vital sentence there, un til its sting had been eliminated. City officials .wero iman mous v' agreed that the garbage ordinance. as rinally passed, was a distinct . victory tor C. R. Grove, present city garbage man. Incidentally, it was a rltcory ror Councilman Powell, who. Irom the beginning. Insisted that Qrove was giving good service to the business section, and would, if given another chance, give bet ter service to outlying districts, (rove Victory It is believed that wljen bids arc opened for the letting of a new gar bage routract. that only C. R. Grove will bid. This is because the period of time of the proposed garbage contract was cut from four years to two years. ' One other firm, that of County Assessor Lee and Brown, bad an nounced that they would bid for the garbage contract. But It is thought that they would hesitate to buy the necessary equipment when they could only be assured of a two year contract. Main street business men. 115 of them, signed a petition to the coun cil, stating that they were satisfied with service of Mr. Grove as city garbage man.
