So far as the Klam ath country is concerned, the new youngster will be born with the pro verbial silver spoon in its mouth. With the coming of more railroads, 1926 undoubtedly will mark a new era in the development of this "Empire Awakening." When Father Time draws the shades tonight and writes "finis" to mark the passing of the old year, there should be no regrets so far as we of Klamath are concerned.-Development has been ours. We have had our full meed of prosperity. We have not all agreed, to be sure, but we believe that all of us have been working toward the same goal- a bigger and a better Klamath. The Evening Herald looks forward to the new year with no mis givings. As We look on into the future with eyes of optimism we see before us a new and brighter epoch for this Klamath country of ours. It is with this thought that the Evening Herald desires to re mind its friends and readers that the golden days of opportunity lie ahead, and with the sincere wish that the coming year will be kind to you, each and all, we extend th e season's greetings. osEffly L II U B!

Local Offices To Stay Here Highway Tangle is Ex plained by C. C. Seeley Klamath county will not lo3e its local ctrice or the state hlghway commlSBion, and the entire lorce or highway, workers, with the exception of Division Engineer Kelly, will re main in this city and continue to maintain the offices at the court house. This explanation mas made today by C. C. Seeley, resident engineer for the highway commission in Klamath county. Mr. Seeley will remain on the Job as heretofore and will continue to have complete charge of highway maintenance work in Klamath county. The only dif ference is that he will report hare after to the division office at Bend Instead of to the division office which formerly was maintained here. In other words, the only change made by the new order of the state highway commission will be the discontinuance of tho division engineer's office here. This will remore Just two employes of the highway commission from Klamath Falls, the division engineer and his ofrice assistant. Severe Storm Hits Britain LONDON. Dec. 31.

COUNTIES E EUR TAX MONEY Funds Lost From Reversion of O. and C. Grant Lands to be Sought PLANS ARE OUTLINED W. A. Wiest Takes Lead Here in Movement to Get an Appropriation Six Oregoa counties, Including Klamath, will make a determined effort this year to procure from tho federal gorernmerit sereral mil lion dollars which the counties bavo lost In taxes since thousands of acreB of land under tho Oregon and California railroad land grant ro rorted to the gorernment In 1910. Tentatlre plans for tho campaign lo procure what county officials Here a just award from the gov ernment were made known today by Attorney W. A. Wleat, who for the past tour years has handled all tax and land matters lor the Klan ath county court. Plan Conference Following an extended corres pondence with County Judge Hart zell of Jackson county, Mr. Wleat announced today .ton; plans, are being made to hold a tax confer ence between the county officials of the six counties either the rirst or third week In January, at which time it is believed dellnlte steps will be taken to prosecute the claim against tie gorernment. The six counties alfected are Klamath, Ja;-kaon, Josephine, Doug las, Lane and Linn. The money lost in taxes by these counties since 1916 is said to total close to $10, 000,000. Ilig Suin Lost When the Southern Pacitlc was forced te turn baek to the govern ment the lands under the old O. and C. land grant, Klamath county had 42.673 acro3 taken from the tax rolls. Thi3 land was ralued at the time at approximately $423,490. Jackson county had 442,000 acre remored from the tax rolls, i.vhile Lone county had 300,748 acres tak en from the rolls of taxable pro perty. -Investigation shows that for three years prior to the reversion of these lands to the government the Southern Pacific company had fail ed to pay taxes on the acreage so affected, and when it again became government property, congress re imbursed Jackson county la tho sum of $240,000 in 1916 for these unpaid taxes, while Lane county was reimbursed by the gorernment in the sum of $276,975. So far as ia known, Klamath couuty was never reimbursed. Wiest Confident Following a complete investiga tion Into the matter, Mr. Wiest tcels conrident that a vigorous cam paign on the part or the counties affected will result in procuring an appropriation from congress to pay these counties the sums lost in taxes during the 10 years lnterrenlng since 1916. When the conference of county of ricials is held nvithin the next tew weeks, Mr. Wiest will represent tho Klamath county court, and at that tlmo will lay before the county of ficials a proposed plan of action to be followed. Complete Probe, It is his belief that several month.! should be devoted to a minute In vestlgatlon of all county, state and 'federal records, and that pamphlets should be printed girlng congTesil complete and accurate data of tho, entire tax question.
