Coat Program
At New York representatives
of 100,000 Pennsylvania hard
coal miners formally submitted
to the operators their program,
Including demands for pay "
creases and paid vacations. The
present contract expires April
30.
The anthracite operators re
sponded with a proposal to ex
tend the present agreement
"with only slight modifications."
They issued a statement propos
ing that no changes be made
which would result in increased
costs as a price increase "will
gravely Imperil present markets
and employment.
Deadlock
While soft coal wage nego
tiations remained in a deadlock,
the Carnegie-Illinois Steel cor
poration at Pittsburgh said a
, shortage of Beehive coke, caus
ed by the coal shutdown, had
forced the banking of a blast
furnace.
At Aluminum Company of
America plants at Cleveland CIO
"work stoppages" slowed pro
duction. Alex Balint, organizer
for the CIO Die Casters union,
estimated one-third of the 7900
employes were taking part. He
accused the company of "stall'

be sold. Mayor Houston said one
membership has been sold al
ready. The recreation committee
has an additional $11,000 in
sight, it was pointed out, and If
the balance can be raised by
the membership drive the pool
can be constructed.
Memberships can be bought
for four monthly payments of

The plan was accepted by the
council.
Information on the swimming
pool membership may be ob
tained at the office of The Her
ald and News. The staff will be
glad to assist in receiving mem

mittee. Licensing of Juke boxes

The great majority of beer retail estab

Yet it Is the once-in-a- while excep

Such undesirable retailers give beer a
bad name k doesn't deserve. Farther
more, by arousing public indignation,
retailing abuses endanger your right to
enjoy good beer, the beverage of moder

A Mr. Lewis appeared before!
the group to protest against
what he said was too high a
license for distributorships. He
said he had 10 machines and
that he would not be able to
continue business if he had to
pay $400. He said he would be
willing to pay $200 for the
right to operate 20 machines,
however. Lewis knew of only
one man in the city who had
20 machines. Another man who
said he operates three juke
boxes protested the plan would
create a monopoly.
No action was taken by the
council in the matter, the pro
posal being held over until
next week.
Mayor Houston appointed De-
Los Mills as a member of the
airport committee. Mills, who
lives in the Pine Grove district,
was appointed inasmuch as the
city and county are cooperating
in the airport program, the
mayor said, and pointed out the
need for an out-of-town mem
ber. Man Bound Over on
Burglary Charge
Leo Joseph Kent was bound
over to the grand jury Tuesday
by Justice of the Peace Joseph
A. Mahoney on a charge of burg
lary not in a dwelling.
Kent is accused of breaking
into the Klamath Machine and
Locomotive Works property and
stealing a quantity of brass.
He was held in lieu of $1000
bond.

Theft of a box of tools from
the platform of the Bend-Portland
Trucking company was re

by T. W. Laird. Laird said the
tools were missing from the

and $617,020.86 taxes paid last year.
While it is the brewers' responsibility
to brew good beer and the retailers'
responsibility to sell it under wholesome
conditions, nevertheless the brewing in
dustry wants anti-social retailing elimi
nated entirely.
You can help us by (l) patronizing only

beer is sold and (2) by reporting any law
violations you may observe to the duly

ahead of last year and irriga
tion is starting correspondingly
early. Crop land soil moisture
is good as a whole though winds
have caused surface drying.
The Gerber reservoir will
store about 257.000 acre feet this
year and the Clear lake about
62.420, insuring two years' sup
ply.
Mtdford and Rogue Rlvtrt
Fish lake and Four-Mile lake
which supply water for this re
gion will store a total of only
about 10,500 acre feet, which is
only 65 per cent of last year
and only 50 per cent of the av
erage requirements. Some flood
water is being used now but it
is not expected to last longer
than April 20 on the east side
and May 1 on the west side.
Water conservation measures
including early plowing of cov
er crops in orchards are advised
All water from reservoirs will
be pro-rated this season with es
timates now running at from 8
to 9 inches per acre total to be
allowed. Flow from the reser
voirs will probably last only five
to six weeks, which means no
water after the middle of July
if withdrawal can be delayed un
til June 1.
The season Is advanced two
weeks at least which probably
will advance harvest correspond'
ingly. Soil moisture is not as
good as last year. The water
shortage is expected to be worse
than for any year since 1931.
Talent District: The Hyatt
Prairie and Emigrant Gap reser
voirs will store a total of about
14.500 acre feet, or about 80 per
cent of last year. Average needs
are 16.200 acre feet, but with
conservation methods and pro
rated supply no orchard is ex
pected to suffer before harvest
Flood water irrigation started in
March.

Grants Past: Low flow of the
Rogue at Ray-Gold dam for Ju
ly, August and September is es
timated at 95 per cent of last
year. Alternating supplies will
probably go into effect about Ju
ly 25, but no serious shortage
is foreseen.
The Applegatc river is expect
ed to run about 95 per cent of
last year and be short in Aug
ust. The Little Applegatc will
run correspondingly but will be
short in July.
Umpquai Poorest snow sup
.ply in years was reported from
the headwaters of the Umpqua
and its chief tributaries. Low
flow of tributaries used for ir
rigation will be the shortest for
any year since 1931. The same
applies to lower tributaries of
the Rogue.
The Illinois river, like the Ap
plegate, will run about 95 per
cent of last year's flow.
Range conditions in the Rogue
River forest are reported fair
with about average prospects
The high range between Klam
ath Falls and Lakeview is better
than last year though the low
range in that region is badly
dried at the surface by recent
winds and needs rain.

girl, loy on tho floor in a cor-

Thit ward appeared to be
comparatively dry, but someone
made tho mistake of trying the
toilet equipment. Water imme
diately overflowed and spread
over the floor. Tho Indian girl
got up from her corner and
resignedly climbed to tho upper
story of tho double-decker bed.
Tho trustees' ward was found
to be better lighted and dryer
than the other Jail departments,
but the stench was present
there, also. It followed the vis
itors Into the main holl above.
"Sanitation begins at home,"
paraphrased Mayor Houston In
calling tho matter to tho atten
tion of the council. "The au
thority of the city Is hardly In
a position to demand its citizens
maintain proper sanitation when
there Is a condition like that in
our own basement. I'm serving
notice right now that something
must be done."
It is understood there Is a
plan under consideration for
enlarging the Jail quarters In
the basement, possibly moving
the city engineer from base
ment offices to quarters above
the garage. Plumbing equip
ment in the Jail will be worked
over.
For some time there has been
talk of the possibility of a Joint
city-county Jail, but officials of
both Jurisdictions have Ignored
the suggestion.
