- Bunchtown and Stringtown
AT Thursday night's highly successful pioneer dinner,
mention was made of the part Bunchtown and String
town played in the history of Klamath Falls.
This proved a matter unfamiliar to most of those
present, and it is unlikely any great number of todays
residents of Klamath Falls ever heard of Bunchtown and
Stringtown. In our recollection it was the first time they
had been mentioned at the pioneer gatherings-. Bob
Baldwin, who is now in business in Klamath Falls and
was in business here in Bunchtown and Stringtown days,
explained the meaning of the bizarre names applied by
early-day residents to the two parts of their town.
As most people know, settlement of Klamath Falls
(then Linkville) first occurred in that district near Link
river. - It was there that the few store buildings and
houses were clustered. Then, as the community expand
ed, it began "stringing" up what is now Main street, away
from the river. ,,,.,. ,..
Local folk began calling the old Linkville district
"Bunchtown" because the buildings were bunched there.
They called the development along the single street
"Stringtown" because the buildings there were strung
out Mr. Baldwin states that property owners along the
Btreet owned a half block each.
Such designations were typical of pioneer days; they
were simple, and there was reason in them. Happily,
though, neither name "stuck." Neither Stringtown nor
Bunchtown would be very desirable as a hometown ad
dress today. ...
But their memory should be preserved as a bit of in
teresting history. Maybe some day, when Klamath Falls
has grown big enough to require a multi-exchange tele
phone system, Stringtown and Bunchtown can be revived
98 exchange designations.
Dial Bunchtown 2000.
Double Mileage
CONGRESSIONAL secretaries are making a strenuous
effort to get a 10-cent mileage rate for traveling be
tween their homes and Washington between sessions and
no doubt they feel justified. Their bosses get 20 cents
a mile and often never leave Washington from one ad
journment to the next.
But there is one clause a lot of people would like to
see in that measure, if it passes.
WVi an Trio itnmmnmfln'a nonroiaw io Vii wife nr rile
sister, his cousin or his aunt who normally splits his 20
cent allowance anyway, why not excuse her from the
gratuity? That might even cut down a little on the
nation's official nepotism.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11 Pro
testing congressman are sug
gesting the new farm bill Is the
biggest murder anyone ever got
away with in legislative annals.
This is probably an exaggeration.
There have been some tremen
dous murders on Capitol bill.
There la no question, however,
that the revised measure repre
sents one of the really great
marketing agreements of modern
cooperative history not in the
farm produce marketing provi
sions In the bill Itself, of course,
but In the political produce deal
by which It was put over.
Hare Is the story as nearly as
it can be pieced together from
the uncommunicative partici
pants: SIHTF.RKIGK
Thoso 11 congressmen, the con
ferees, spent a month iu a hole
at the capitol working out mainly
an airtight voting pool. Their
primary job was to get rid of
the Boileau amendment which
was so restrictive that a farmer
could not have given away a
fried egg if the chicken that
laid It bad been fed non-con-tormtng
crop restriction corn.
Their secondary Job was to make
a solid meat loaf out of tbe
hash farm bills passed by the
house and senate.
They extrlcatea themselves
from their dilemma by the novel
process of digging through the
bottom of the hole. In the first
place they could not revise the
Bolieau amendment legally un
der the rules of congress as both
bouses had approved It. So they
revised It under an overstretched
legal subterfuge that the senate
had put the duplicate amendment
at a different place In the bill
than had the house. .Therefore
it was a different amendment,
and subject to their jurisdiction.
BAIT
To get away with this and
other revisions it was necessary
for the hole workers to pool a
sufficient amount of approving
support In both houses. Tbey
went about this boldly. They
bought oft the support of the
three moat powerful blocs cot
ton, wheat and corn by the pro
cess of writing into the bill these
ionowing new provisions:
(A) An extra 1-cent snbsidv
for cotton which would give the
cotton people 11 cents a nound
instead of 9 cents (the Increase
being considered excessive even
by the agriculture department).
(B) A croo Insurance nrovt-
sion for wheat.Vand only wheat.
This left them with nothing
to give the corn crowd. So they
juat uppea me mandatory loan
figure for corn (and corn onlv,
to go Into effect whenever the
price drops to 75 per cent of
parity instesd of 62 ner cent aa
for wheat and cotton.
MAJORITY POOL
As the tobacco bovs alreadv
had all they wanted, this mar
keting arrangement brought the
cotton, wheat, corn and tobacco
Olocs into a majority voting- nnol
which could override any other
bloc combination In either house
on a showdown vote.
Thus the leaders got a big ma
jority for a special rule in the
house preventing anyone, from
even raising the point that the
action of the conferees was Il
legal. Thus also they were able
to adopt a rule In the house lim
iting debate to four hours on a
most complicated measure of 121
pages, containing IE to 20 pages
of wholly new material, which
no one except the experts under
stood. The leaders Insist it Is a good
bill. No one knows anything to
the contrary. The house was
not permitted time to find out
before voting. Unlimited debate
in the senate may develop some
light on the question of how
good the bill Is. But from the
great voting strength of the new
political marketing agreement It
appears likely that this particu
lar question will be left for the
agriculture department to deter-

EXPLANATION
What caused Mr. Roosevelt to
rush his relief recommendations
before he had planned .to, was a
flock of late reports on automo

erlck ot the house left-wingers
has been privately trying to
force out certain reports of
bombing operations duriug navy

off San Diego. The Idea Is these
reports indicate battleships did
not stand up well In airplane
bombing attacks.

REACHING FOR HIGHER-ITS
(Eugene Register Guard)
The Investigation ot the violence
which haa been connected with la
bor strife In Oregon Is not stop
ping with "the goons," as the pub
lic has come to call the tough guya
who do dirty work. The arrest of
certain ranking labor leaders aa
the men who Inspired and paid for
the setting of a mill fire at Salem
indicates a determined effort' to
get at the higher-ups. It will be a
good thing for Oregon and a good
thing tor organized labor Itself If
the purge ot gangsters can be com
plete. Violence has no place In le
gitimate collective bargaining and
most union people havo absolutely
no sympathy with such tactica.
In The Coos Bay Times we find
a rather unusual protest against
the "goon roundup." The editors
ot the Marshfteld paper seem to
think the state police are going too
far, that ball tor the accused Is
being set far too high, and that the
authorities under Ihe guidance of
Oovornor Martin are turning pros
ecution Into persecution. The
Mnrshfleld editors oven view with
alarm the uprising of the Hubbard
farmer who cnlled his hsnds and
armed them with pitchforks to
protect the farmer's right to un
load a farm truck. Fear is ex
pressed that this crusade will turn
Into something like the hysterical
"red roundups" of the past.
This is no time for sentimental
liberalism. This crusade is not
aimed at what anybody believes.
It Is aimed at criminal violence.
Not a few, but scores of American
citizens have been beaten up, in
timidated, deprived of their rights
by these organized gangs. Valu
able properties have been destroy
ed. Tbe state police are fighting a
form of anarchy that has devel
oped. Tbey are not fighting labor
aa such. Tbey are trying only to
run down certain rascals who have
misused the labor movement. In
this difficult task they are entitled
to complete public support.
Of course, there should he no
"hysteria." Every one of those ac
cused men Is entitled to his "day
In court." Those who can prove
Innocence should be cleared. But
those who have been guilty of
thuggery, arson, or the hiring ot
crime are entitled to no mercy.
This state has been quite patient
for many months, but Oregon Is
not, thank God, like the neighbor
ing state of Washington. We are
not ready to abdicate government
yet.

In 1776 a book published In

In ltiiS, papers began (u appear
In tlonnnuy and In some other
ctiuutiii's Indicating Ihe vnltte of

Various (henries have been of
fered as to why the apple should
have nny such usefulness. It was
suggested that It enutnlns tannic
acid compounds which have an
aalrlngottt nctlun on the mem
branes of the Intestines, but this
has nut boon proved and there
does not seem to be any good sup

seoms to be Just ss useful as with

Another theory holds that a
aubataure in the apple called pec

substance which causes various
fruit extracts to Jell. Presum
ably, It Is beneficial In cases of
dysentery by absorbing toxic sub
stancea from the Intestines.
Since these suggestions were

WHO PAYS THE TAXES?
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor) Your chart In the
paper showing who pays the taxes
in Klamath county Is Interesting
but not true. You ssy the utilities
and lumber pay over half the
taxes. You might Just as well say
that Sheriff Low pays all Ihe taxea
In Klamath county when he col
lects them and turns them over to
the treasurer. The utilities and big
merchants are simply deputy lax
collectors working for Ihe county.
They assess the taxea on our light
bills and even on the bread we eat,
collect It from us In each payment
and turn It over to the treasuror.
It Is the farmer, home owner,
small merchant and after all the
laboring man who pays all the

To older children, from one to
four lablKspountuls of the pulp
have been fed evory two hours for
a period of 14 to. ii hours, Ihe
total amount being equivalent to
the pulp ot from seven to 16 ap
ples. Although the apple pulp will
furnish some water, It Is custom
ary also to give extra water or
weak tea, since diarrhea Invari
ably lakes a lot of wator out of
the body.
Just aa soon as the diarrhea
disappears, it Is customary lo
change Ihe tllnt gradually by giv
ing cereal, broths, swelbuch or
dried toast, meat broth, scraped
beet, cottage cboese and similar
soft foods, Then, after a few
days, milk, Vegetables and fruits
may be added to the diet.
There are now available apple

be given In skimmed milk to ba

on Foods of the Atnorlcnn Medical
association has recoxulxed the
value of apple powder or apple

It should be remeuibered, how

condition, sometimes the result of
