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.

Reflooding Of
Lower Lake Is
Rank Injustice
Chairman Clifford
Stands Up For
Farmers
farmers who arc putting their
money, their efforts aiul their lives
Into the work of reclaiming the
lands of the lower 'Klamath lake
found one staunch friend and sup
porter last night In Harold Cllf
ford. chairman of the Oregon Klate
game couiuilaalon. who. In the face
of strong opposition rrom sporismettn
declared he would oppose with all
the rigor he poaaeascil any attempt
to reflood thoae lands for a bird
reserve. flv'jj.
'"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. They have
a right to this lamt which cannot
and should not bo confiscated with
out proper and surriclent reimburse
ment." In direct opposition to the senti
ments or tho head or the game com
mission, wua the stand or E. F.
Averlll. state game warden, who
told the sportsmen that he tavoreri
tho Immediate reHoodlng of a part
of tho lower lake lands ror use as
11 bird reserve.
",1 believe that some ot the land
can be used for agricultural pur
poses and should be saved tor that
purpose, but there Is some ot it
which, in my opinion. Is worthless,
and could better be used us n bird
reserve."
Mr. Averlll left Klamath Falls
this morning Tor San Francisco,
where, ll la reliably reported, he
will appear before the California
Sportsmen's association Thursday,
and advocate the ivtlooding or the
lands or lower Klamath I.ake. as
recommended by W. 1.. Flnley, latest
member of the state game commis
sion. V

Proposed Ordinance amend

Grove; Ask Protection
in New Law
A mistreated garbage ordinance,
that had been battered, tosacd.
amended, cussed and dlscused was
finally passed by the city council
last night.
liul the law, when finally passed,
bore a resemblance to a well pluck
ed fowl. 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. Jack Hershberger.
