Weekend Roundup
THE annual meeting of the Order of the Antelope will
be held the coming weekend on Hart mountain, a mass
of rugged beauty in Lake county that has cast a spell
over several hundred Oregonians and others who have
attended the convention of this unique organization. This
writer, for Instance, has missed only one meeting of the
Order of the Antelope since it was founded in 1982
and that was because he was laid up in bed and couldn t
go anywhere. He remembers one year when he and a
couple of others were the only Klamath Falls represent
ative on the grounds but those davs are past and 25
old members or Invited guests will attend from here this
year, what keeps one going year alter year to nan
mountain is not alone the spell of the mountain and the
out-of-doors it's also the association with a lot of fine
people who gather each year on the mountain.
The Lake County Examiner states that the Hart
mountain trip provides Lake county with more publicity
each year than any other single enterprise. Lake is
making the most of the presence of the great antelope
refuge within its confines, and Lakeview now boasts a
large street sign which tells the world that Lakeview is
the gateway to Hart mountain. Koads to Hart mountain
are better than they used to be, but there are still sev
eral miles of old fashioned desert trail. Many veteran
Hart mountain enthusiasts hope that this situation will
never be changed it is a traditional feature of the trip
and it makes the refuge remote for those not willing to
venture from the hard pavements.

By BMaLLON
HINL,
The Bend Bulletin, which made a statement In April
to the effect that Klamath Falls was facing a decrease
In population, makes proper amends in a complimentary
editorial appearing elsewhere on this page today. It is
true, as the Bulletin says, that a city and its immediate
Suburbs may well be considered as one, and in that case,
Klamath Falls has a population of something over 25,000,
as official census figures show. There is no annexation
movement or sentiment apparent at this time, either
within the city, or within the suburbs. But 1950 is a long
ways off, and perhaps by that time a consolidation will be
effected that will put Klamath Falls right up in the
running for second or third city in Oregon.
In the meantime, some very sensible and constructive
things are being done in our suburbs, such as the re
naming of streets to eliminate duplications, the number
ing of houses, and the formation of an organization to
carry out such projects for the common good. Those
who are contributing to these efforts deserve the thanks
of the community.
Masons from throughout the Pacific coast are In the
Klamath country for the great outdoor ceremonial held
on Prisoner s Rock, in the Modoc Lava beds area. Two
thousand were scheduled to attend. Here is a hearty
welcome to the visitors and a hope that they will have
mot .successful event. The selection of the unique
setting in a great natural amphitheatre on the Tule lake
pen nsula was a stroke of genius. It is to be hoped It is
decided to make this an annual event.
J An acquaintance tells us he knows a Klamath county
man who can chip out excellent specimens of arrowheads,
knives and other "Indian artifacts." This fellow it
seems, can produce an unlimited collection for anyone
who hasn t had any luck finding the real thing in the
tt? .c.0.untrythereabouts. We wish we hadnft heard
about this. It makes us suspicious of every artifact
WASHINGTON, July 13 The
...... .v. - t I ..-!..:.. i

nates, Knudsen and Settinhis,
are promoting expansion of Mr.
Roosevelt i pet facial reform in
TVA has inspired facetious com
ment about "tycoon radicalism"
and developed the suggestion
that "if business wants to keep
government out of competition
it had better get Messrs. Knud
sen and stettinlus out ot tne
new deal." But few know the
extent to which they went to
get additional TVA power facili
ties built.
The new dealers were afraid
to recommend the extension be
cause of certain legal difficul
ties. The house had already
growled publicly against TVA
going any further, and the new
dealers knew they could not get
away with legal shortcuts.
So Defense Commissioner, Ed
ward R. Stettinius, took hold.
Convinced that the expansion
was necessary, he decided to
seek legal justification. The sug
gestion was advanced to htm
that he should request an opin
ion from Attorney General Jack
son, in accordance with usual
government practise.
But Stettinius apparently de
cided that if he needed legal
advice he might as well get the
best, and thereupon violated all
procedure by calling for the per
sonal view of no less an author
ity than the chief justice of the
United States supreme court,
Charles Evans Hughes. He got
it, and the matter proceeded
forthwith.
The incident, marking another
stanza in the saga of the amaz
ingly successful "adventures of
two tycoons in the new deal,"
will be kept quiet because such
procedure is highly unorthodox,
although actually government
officials have, in unusual cases,
always found their friends on
the high bench personally will
ing to help.
a
PACKARD ORDER
Real unconfessed reasons why
Packard at first rejected the
9000 plane contract from the na
tional defense commission were
many, any one of which was
enough. Main difficulty was the
refusal of the treasury depart
ment to give concessions for de
preciation tax allowances if the
company entered upon such a
large plant expansion invest
ment. You may have noticed im
mediately after the contract was
rejected, the treasury announced
it would allow five year amor
tization of such investments.
which thereupon settled that.
Still remaining then was the
refusal of both the British and
United States governments to
make satisfactory promises of
what they would do if Britain
was defeated before her planes
could be delivered. It was only
natural that the contractor
should expect the British to de-

From Other
Editors
"I'm a little bit suspicious. Sue your father brought
these flowers home for no apparent reason 1"
posit in this country the money
to pay for the planes, or re
quire the United States govern
ment to take the British share.
These obstacles become rather
formidable when you consider
that a $30,000,000 investment
for plant expansion, construc
tion and tooling would be neces
sary. Perhaps Mr. Ford had some
thing of the same in mind when
he turned down the deal.
NEW BASE
Revision of the government's
key business index is being
planned by the federal reserve
board but not without trepida
tion. The industrial production
figure, used frequently In this
column, has for 8 years been
based on 1923-25 averages as
100. A new base using the new
deal years of 1935-37 as 100
will be submitted to the public
in the August issue of the FRB
bulletin.
The change will boost the
business f i g u r es considerably
and no doubt draw charges that
it was inspired for presidential
campaign purposes, although
federal reserve board is sup
posed to be non-political.
Justification is the great num
ber of new important industries
built up since 1923-25, includ
ing aviation, radio, chemicals.
The old index was obviously too
heavily weighted with old dom
inant products, such as steel and
textiles.
REVOLT
Price administrator, Leon
Henderson, has exceeded the
former recognized limits of new
deal boldness by refusing to ap
point several recommended
friends to Thomas G. Corcoran,
the president's ghost, to his na
tional defense organization. A
row developed. Words were ax
changed, but Henderson's stand
ing at the White House is report
ed unimpaired and perhaps enhanced.
POSTAL RECEIPTS
E
E
Postal receipts have shown
a steady increase during the
past year, according to Post
master Burt E. Hawkins of the
Klamath Falls office. Receipts
for June, 1940, totaled S10,-
816.17, as compared to
$9,727.39 for June. 1938. This
year's gain was 11.2 per cent,
Hawkins stated.
For the six months ending
June 30, 1940, receipts were
$66,160.19. For the same pe
riod ending June 30, 1939. re
ceipts totaled $39,694.38, or a
gain in 1940 of 10.38 per cent.
For the fiscal year ending June
30, 1940, receipts were $138,
696.57, as compared to the fis
cal year ending June 30, 1939,
when receipts totaled $126,
199.79. A gain of 9.903 per cent
was noted for this past iiscai
year over the preceding year.

TO INCREASE CENSUS
riauRES
(Bend Bulletin)
Although some work li still
going on In the way ot com
pletion of records, census of
fices are officially closed and
the enumeration of populations
is over for another 10 years.
This being so, it is time to ad
mit a misapprehension as to
one of Oregon's leading cities,
Klamath Falls, which In April
was mentioned in this news
paper as one of those facing a
population docrease. The final
figure actually shows the Klam
ath county seat with a total of
16,389 as against Id. 01)3 In 1930.
The gain, it is true, is not
large, but it is a gain and it
becomes impressive when the
county's Increase Is noted, for
the population and prosperity
of the back country is fully as
Important to a city as that with
in the corporate limits. Klam
ath county Jumped from 32,407
in 1930 to 40,366 In 1940.
No Inconsiderable part of
this gain Is due to suburban
residential development, a trend
noted in many Oregon commu
nities. Except that such resi
dential location is exempt from
municipal taxation it might
fairly be considered as a part
of the city which it adjoins.
By extending its corporate
limits before 1930, it Is appar
ent. Klamath Falls has the op
portunity of shoWing a very
considerable increase In the
next decennial census. Nor is
Klamath alone In this oppor
tunity. Courthouse Record
