Klamath s Population,
Economic Outlook for
I950 Shown in Survey
By MALCOLM EPLEY
If Klamath county capitalizes on its opportunities, its popula
tion will rise to 46,430 in 1950, BUT
If certain trends in evidence in 1943 are allowed to continue
through 1950, population may decline to approximately 31,930.
That, briefly, is the challenging picture of Klamath's popula
tion and economic outlook for the immediate future as presented
in a report just completed by the Bonneville power administra
tion on a survey of the "Economic Base For Power Markets In
Klamath County, Oregon."
Made at the invitation of the city and county administrations
and the chamber of commerce, the Bonneville survey findings
are described by the men in charge as "indications of prospects
based on the known facts," but "not as definite predictions."
Opportunities Listed
The Bonneville surveyors declare that an inevitable decline
in lumber production, as presently carried on, must be'supplant
ed by employment of more workers in lumber remanufacturing
and other phases of forest products industries, in agricultural ex
pansion, in food processing, mineral processing, and service in
dustries. ......
"Development of a number of potential opportunities could
result in a population increase of about 15 per cent by 1950 In
stead of a decline of 20 per cent," says the survey.

Munitions Ship
odes in
Danish Harbor
STOCKHOLM. July 5 (IP)
The free Danish press service
asserted today that a German
munitions ship blew up in
Aarhus harbor yesterday causing
damage estimated at close to
$25,000,000.
First reports from under
ground sources indicated that at
least 80 persons were killed and
300 injured by the blast which
damaged possibly 1000 buildings
in Aarhus, the second city of
Denmark, and set fire to several
other vessels in the harbor.
Earlier the news agency had
said that order and normal con
ditions are returning to Copen
hagen after a five-day general
strike and disturbances which
forced concessions from German
occupation authorities.
Tho Germans promised to
withdraw their Schalbure (coun
ter-sabotage) corps, lift the cur
few shortly, enforce no reprisals
because of the strike, fire on no
crowds unless weapons are seen
and agree to the request of
tramway workers to close the
transport system at 9 p. m. in
stead of 11 p. m., the service
said.

turing of lumber and expansion
of plywood manufacture could
increase employment in forest
products industries by 850
workers. A pulp and paper mill
could add another 350 .workers
and utilization of mill waste in
alcohol distillation another 65.
These industries would bring em
ployment in forest products to
3615 workers compared with
zjdu u current trends prevau.
' Farm Outlook
"An increase in irrigated acre
age could provide more than 400
new farms requiring about 750
additional., farm' operators and
workers.. An additional' 150
farmers .cpyld .be employed by
"Improving existing farms and
dividing some of the larger ones.
Food processing industries, in
cluding additional meat packing,
potato dehydration, and the util

ducts in distillation of alcohol
and in manufacture of glucose
and starch, could employ 390
workers in 1950 compared with

"Expansion in the Iron, steel
and machinery industry, with
the establishment of an electric
steel furnace, could increase em
ployment to at least 150 work

Manufacture of lightweight

jobs for an additional 100 work

in industry and agriculture
would come a greater employ
