HOOD RIVIR MAN
OPPOSES TAX ON
CHAIN STORES
WASHINGTON. 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.
TRAFFIC OFFENDERS

disregarded slips given them by
officers, were issued bench war
rants and fined $2 each instead
