motion for continuance wis sup

which he charges that District
Attorney Harlow Welnrtck of
Linn county, Ore., refused to let
him inspect statement made by
Folkes at Los Angeles and later
here. Folke wa arrested when

but was returned her because
the killing took place as the

Lomax charged in hi affida"it
which was filed with the court
that Weinrlck promised during

also says that Dr. Joseph Bee

virtually wiped off the date.
There was a 90 per cent shortage
of the last two named "vlttles"
and it's a lucky housewife that
can set ham n' eggs In front of
her spouse these days. Incident
ally, Klamath county has plenty
of eggs. Lot of eggs In fact.
Checking another shop, the
butcher reported absolutely no
pork. Beef and lamb supplies
were dwindling to the point
where the customer would prob
ably be faced with a pound of
ground round by the weekend.
Still another store said it wat
"cash on the line and take what
you can get." No future order
such as Sunday roast deliv
ered Saturday were being ac
cepted. This was the meat picture in
Klamath county. Next week
the working man will again

his lunch providing there Is any
cold ham. Anyway there arc

this (the city's) letter that the
water being condensed and high
ly impregnated with acids eat
out the city sewer system it
hardly needs an answer as any
one knowing anything about
steam would 'know that iteam,
when condensed, is distilled wa
ter which is the purest form of
water.
Regarding the "black snow"
question, Kirby advised the com
missioner that hog fuel was used
not only by the heating company
but by many other business es
tablishments both In and outside
the city. He stated it was a
type of fuel which produces
considerable quantities of smoke
nd ash."
"It so happens that our plant
Is located In the downtown area
where the smoke from its stack
Is visible to the people and for
this reason uninformed people
have assumed that the heating
company is primarily responsi
ble for the sooty condition of
the city when, in fact, that con
dition results from a variety of
sources and only a small per
centage comes from our oper
ations. Indeed, other establish
ments took a leading part in op
posing the ordinance when it
was originally Introduced.
"The heating company and all
other establishments involved
have taken every step possible
under existing conditions with
the shortage of materials, to im
prove the situation and it has
materially reduced the percent
age of aoot which it contributes
to the general and normal con
dition of this Industrial commun
ity. As stated above, a total of
$13,681.87 was spent by us in
connection with this matter.
"We would also like to point
out that the city authorities as
well as the citizens of Klamath
Falls shoiffd appreciate a central
heating plant and endeavor to
help instead of hinder the oper
ation of same. We burn nothing
but wood waste, therefore we
are saving vital materials that
our 250 customers would be
using were it not for the oper
ation of this plant.
"It Is also a well established
fact that due to the many users
of steam, our fire losses are very
low which enables our citizens
to obtain an extremely favor
able rate on their fire insurance.
"We, of course, regret the ne
cessity for this letter as we feel
in these trying times that we
could all De using our energy
and thought on something that
would be helpful toward win
ning the war, rather than smear
ing a business that is having

SALEM, March 25 (P) Ore
gon's industrial payroll soared
to another new record during the
first two month of 1943. Being
almost double the total for the
similar period of 1942 and three
times the pre-war figures, the
state industrial accident commis
sion said today.
The payroll for January and
February totaled $75,604,180,
compared with $42,387,487 In
the same months of 1942, The
totals for the first two months
of 1941 and 1940 were $29,254,'
592 and $25,803,926, respect
Ively.
Before the war between 35
and 40 per cent of the state'
industrial payroll was paid to
Multnomah county worker, but;
now the figure l 73 per cent
and still rising. .
The Multnomah county In
dustrial payroll In January and
February was $52,245,838, conv
pared with $22,041,997 in the
first two months of 1942, $11,-
887,350 in the first two months
of 1941, and $10,043,931 In the
similar period of 1940. '
The state industrial payroll
for February was $40,965, high
est figure for any month in his
tory and 80 per cent greater
than any month last year. Of
this amount, Multnomah' county
industrial workers were paid
$30,404,582.
In four years the Mult noma a
county payrolls, for the first two
months, has Increased from $10,
043,931 to $52,245,838, the gain
caused almost exclusively by
war industries.
But the war has boosted the
industrial payrolls in the other
35 counties, too. The industrial
payroll for all counties outside
Multnomah Increased from $15,
859,995 in the first two months
