April 12 Livelihood of the American fir mer ai well ai comumer ti threatened by Patman'i propoial to tax the chain itorei, Rory Colllru, "honest to God farmer from Hood River, Ore., and member of the Oregon itate board of agriculture, told a com' mlltee Thursday, He pppoied the Patman bill , chiefly becauia he nld chain marked for farm product! would be destroyed, prices to consumers be raised, coniump- tlon limited and havoc created generally." - The witnen lubmitted lottera from Mac Hoke, preildent of ..the. Oregon 'Farm Bureau feder ation; S. G. Nye, president of the fruit Groweri league of Med ford, and R. S. Hazoltlne, apple and pear grower of Hood River, all expressing opposition to the bill and appreciation of aid given Oregon farmers by chains in times of surplus. Collins told the committee he wai authorized to ipeak for the Oregon farm bureau, Hood River Groweri club and Cooperative Apple Growers association. iie recalled hardships of plon eerlng orchards in Hood River valley 30 years ago and declared chains are a "natural outgrowth of our economic syitem and a necessary part of the U. S. dis tribution system because they are responsible for wide de velopment of the fresh fruit mar kcts." In 1936, the witness ex plained, when Bartlett pear groweri were faced with big carryovers in canned pears, chillis responded to the appeal or larmers, launched a nation' wide sales campaign and "clean' ed up" the surplus, with the re sult that pear growers got $25 per ton instead of $10 which naa coon expected. A similar campaign w a launched last fall. Collins added and mass distribution facilities of chains wero again put at the farmers' disposal and help tre mendously.

Br LOIS STEWART DACK In the summer of 190S a. vwuy.w V. TV. ...wv up the board of education oi Klamath Falli, stepped off the approximate dimensions of a school building of which they had dreamed for at least 10 yeari. The lite wai a bit away from the business district of Klamath Falls, which had gradually out grown the name of Llnkville, but it would do exceptionally well for school ground. v Not many weeks later the rumble of wagon wheels, cart ing huge slabs of sandstone from a quarry on the Old Fort road, dumped their loads on the pow dory earth and the Central school, pride of Klamath's eHu- catlonal system, was under way. Finest In Area The Central school rose block by block, with the lure hand of F. T. Boggi guiding the con struction of one of the "finest schools in southern Oregon." The sandstone, 10 soft you could "carve your initials with your fingernail," hardened In the Klamath wind and the blocks, about 12 by eight inches, made an imposing building. By 1900 the school was ready for occupancy, and long-skirted teachers, starched high neck blouses spick and span, took their places before the first classes in tha new building. Members of the board of edu cation, who had proudly watch ed the Central school go up on Main street between Eighth and Tenth streets, (Ninth street was not cut through), were P. L. Fountain, G. W. White, and W. S. Worden. J. W. "Cap" Siemens was clerk of tha board, and R. H. Dunbar served es both super intendent and eighth grade teacher. Miss Hazel Haydcn was the assistant superintendent and sixth and seventh grade teacher; Miss Wilson, fifth grade; Miss Stella Campbell, (Mrs. Bowne), taught the fourth grade; Miss Horning, third grade; Miss Wakefield, second grade; Mrs. W. S. Slough, the first grade, - - Then Came Riverside Central school continued to be the only grado school in Klamath Falls until the town "began to boom," and it was necessary, to build another, nuns were drawn up lor a building on the other side of the rlyer, and by 1910 Riverside school was completed-and occu pied. Old timers remember tho children first marched into the "brand-now" red-brick, building, pcrcnea, mgn on the hill over looking Link river and Lake Ewauna, Just after the Thanks giving holidays. : The years tumbled, one over another, and as they did the population of Klamath Falls grew until old Central school was overcrowded, Inadequate, and unable to meet the demands ol the rapidly growing city, School boards for several yean had discussed 'a new scnooi. cinany a piece of pro perty oh High street between Seventh and Eighth streets was purchased and work started on a now brick school to carry the name of Fremont. This building wai occupied February 16, 1926, What About Central What to do with old Central, once the pride of every educa tlon-conscious Klamath resident? The property, once far re moved from the business district, was being crowded by new buildings. To one side was the old Herald and Newi plant, across the street the Evans apart ments had been constructed, So the school board decided to tear down the building, symbol of Klamath s rise from String' town to Klamath Falls. C. A. Dunn, contractor, was authorized to raze the building and in the late spring of 1926 this work was started. Dunn re marked that the sandstone, after some 21 years of exposure to sun and storms, became one of tho hardest building stones in use. There are several home built of the old Central school sandstone,' hauled from the hilts in six-foot long blocks. One building which utilized the stone is the OK blacksmith shop on south Sixth street . With the razing of the ol Central school, Ninth street was "cut-through" to Main street Within a short time the hump of ground was leveled to comply with Main street and buildings started going up. Right now Penncy's, Wool- worth's, Newberry's and other stores occupy the Main street front between Eighth and Ninth, and between Ninth and Tenth the Medical-Dental building was constructed. Montgomery Ward took over a piece of the block in back of the Medical-Dental building, and it's all business now where it used to be readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmctic.
