closed the case, It didn't answer
all questions In the public mind,
and the county grand Jury
combed the case vainly for new
evidence. George Parks Is charged with
being one of two men who
robbed the Buffalo Lunch on
South Sixth street and killed Dr.
Salem A. David when he sought
to prevent the escape of one of
them. Parks was arrested In
Great Falls, Mont., months after
be was Indicted on the evidence
of an auto license application
and a description obtained from
a previous criminal record. He
will be tried on a murder charge
early in 1942.
Another tale of misfortune,
but not of violence, also loomed
large in the year 1941, and that
was the flash flood in August.
Although costly in dollars and
cents, the spectacle of Main
street running full of muddy wa
ter from door to door was en
Joyed by the citizenry who creat
ed a surpassing traffic Jam in
their efforts to see it all. Sensa
tional, too, was the trapping of
two cars in the big underpass.
: What? No Weather News?
The flood topped a weather
year that was the wettest in 43
years records have been kept
here and ended with weather
news being suppressed entirely
under war censorship.
,. Municipal progress and a hint
of greater things to come was
contained In the story of Kla
math Falls' airport development.
The whole story appeared by
degrees over several months as
the national defense program
gathered momentum, but the
cumulative effect of the $600,000
project and the magnificence of
the nearly-finished job made it
probably the most important
(not sensational) story of the
year, judging from the heavy
majority of voters that approved
a tax levy for the purchase of
airport land.
Not only the airport itself but
the connected themes of air
travel and defense focussed at
tention on the project. The city
ana united Airlines waged a
Valiant fight, but In vain, to get
airline service for Klamath Falls;
then followed an "under-cover"
drive to get Klamath Falls in
line for an air base.
Little Publicity
The war department asked
that the matter be given no pub
lic notice, so the scope of the
effort was never revealed, but
city air base committee con
ducted extensive surveys, com
piled sheaves of data, assisted
-various official investigators and
kept the wires hot In communica
tion with officials in Washing
ton, as the year ended, the ques
tion still remained open, but de
clared war with Japan added
fereatly to the potentialities in
this situation.
r The Ewauna Box company
lumberyard fire, the only fire of
any magnitude in Klamath Falls
during the year, was a highlight
'in a year that saw few fires in
the forests of the Klamath
region. A brush fire startine in
the Lava Beds monument swept
over 60,000 acres in northern
California and threatened much
valuable timber but it also had
the effect of reinforcing plans
for fire control in the area in
the future. Over four million
feet of lumber burned in the
ewauna fire and the flames Uric.
ed dangerously close to parts of
we piant Itself.
Troop Movements
The echoes of Pearl Harbor
maae news in Klamath Falls,
too. The sudden descent of war
regulations seemed totally un
related to the earlier effects of
the defense program but the
whole story included everything
from the wave of troop move
ments during the summer to the
strenuous Red Cross war relief
campaign and the defense sav
ings drive still continuing.
. Thoughts of war and its nec
essary hardships were pushed
"bc wnue Klamath Falls en
tertained the thousands of visit
ing soldiers with street dances,
organized for civilian defense
and gave up its old aluminum to
.me aeicnse production speed
UP.
Then came Pearl Harbor and
three blackouts in quick succes
sion. The first was a farce, the
second was better as a wave of
oiue ceuopnane buying reached
' peaK, ana the third was de-
ciarea satisfactory. Develnnino
alongside the blackout was a sys-
mn m air raw precautions, air
craft observation, state guard
and various disaster and emerg
ency organizations. Meanwhile,
numerous of Klamath's sons
marched off to .war or the de
fense program.
Labor activities took surge
that made news in 1941, a year
that saw the drive to organize
the lumber Industry in the basin
carried forward to unpreced
ented heights. Several minor
.atrikei ranging up to the distant
but extensive walkout at the
"Weed plant of the Long Bell
Lumber company, marched be-.
side numerous NLRB bargaining
elections and two Important
wage increases in the lumber In
dustry. Unification of local school ad
ministration, which had long
been anticipated, was realized in
1841 when the resignation of
Principal Lloyd B. Emery open
ed the way for the appointment
of Arnold Gralapp as principal
of Klamath Union high school
and ultimately as superintendent
of the whole Klamath Falls
school system. He will take the
latter post in 1942.
Stop and Go
Another long-discussed change
was made when traffic signals
were installed on Klamath Falls
streets in time for the Christmas !
shopping rush that swelled to
new peaks. No poll of public
opinion had produced any defi
nite opinion on the effectiveness
of the new lights but traffic was
moving along smoothly in most
cases as the year waned.
The last of the "Big Ten"
stories might be labeled as the
year's No. 1 false alarm. When
Maurice "Blacky" Cannalonga,
the "mystery witness" in the
Bridges deportation hearing at
San Francisco, met his death in
an automobile accident at Bar
clay Springs, the metropolitan
press pricked up its ears and
considerable interest was thus
induced here. Outside of the fact
that three persons died as a re
sult of the crash, the arrival of
Harry Lundeberg, head of the
sailors union, to investigate the
cannalonga car kept the matter
in tne news for several days,
Indians Killed
The Cannalonga wreck and
the death of five Indians when
their car plunged into the main
canal beside the Main street
bridge led a list of automobile
accidents that claimed 20 lives
in the county during the year,
nine less than in 1940 when an
all-time record was set.
In addition to the ten big
stories, a number of important
trends ana situations are visible
wnen 1941 is viewed in retro
spect
Politically nothing of note oc
curred here but there was
threat of change in the bill to
make Klamath county a separ
ate Oregon senatorial district
This move ran afoul of adverse
politics in the state senate,
fate that likewise befell the
somewhat humorous "49th state'
movement which faintly touched
Klamath county and then was
abandoned when war came.
The South Sixth street traffic
relief project was another pro
ject mat tailed to come off in
1941, but it is still on the cal-
endar for 1942. Road projects
that did finally come through In
ism were the Spraeue River-
Chiloquin road and the Canby-
Hatfield link in the highway to
Reno, both of which were grant
ed federal aid after long battles.
Klamath s other new road.
me Willamette highway, con
tinued to prove its worth as
travel figures at the Dorris entry
to California continued to lead
all other coastwise routes.
Economically the war and the
defense program were given
most of the credit for extensive
activity in lumber and potatoes.
Potato shipments hit an all time
high In April as the last of the
1940 crop moved out, and prices
were on the upgrade as the year
ended. A forestry official's pre
diction that Klamath's timber
would be exhausted in 10 years
was the only blue note in the
lumber and box trade, except
for minor dislocations due to
priority restrictions on building,
which were felt much more
heavily elsewhere.
The undoubted economic ef
fect of the drain of Klamath
manpower to military and de
fense areas had not been noted
in the local news columns as the
year ended. The railroads an
nounced big Increases in ship
ping here.
