it is extremely likely that the
Klamath Heating company will
have to convert to coal or oil
fuel soon instead of the hogged
fuel it has used in the past. This
will necessitate an approximate
25 per cent increase in rates, ac
cording to D. 0. Hood, president
of the Columbia Utility com
pany, in a statement made at a
meeting called by Klamath Heat
ing tfbmpany officials and vari
ous purchasers of heat from the
company held Friday afternoon
in the city council room. George
R. McGce, hydraulic engineer
for the public utilities commis
sioner of Oregon, was also
present.
The fuel situation here is crit
ical, said Hood, and there is only
about enough hogged fuel on
hand now to run for 15 days. At
present the heating company is
experimenting with a combina
tion of hogged fuel and coal, but
the results are not entirely satis
factory as clinkers form readily
and the grates must be cleaned
often. .
Two reasons given by Hood
for the current shortage are the
facts that the Klamath naval air
station also burns hogged fuel
and that the former sources of
supply arc now utilizing the fuel
for their own use.
In case coal or oil is subse
quently used, a sliding scale rate
will be introduced to Klamath
consumers that will be effective
at the 25 per cent raise only as
long as the emergency exists,
Hood declared.
McGee, representative of the
commissioner, declared that in
case improvements should be in
stalled by the company, an ap
plication for an increase in rates
would be decided upon at a pub
lic hearing. -

Oregon State Fair

1945 Oregon state fair is im-
probable "unless there are more
compelling reasons than those
currently offered," the state agri

told the Oregon Fairs association
here. .

difficulties probably would

HELP GIVEN MM
The local internal revenue of
fice in the post office building is
giving assistance daily to a
steady stream of taxpayers seek
ing assistance in the filing of
original or amended 1944 esti
mated tax returns, according to
announcement by Paul H.
Wright, deputy collector in
charge of the Klamath Falls of
fice. However, according to the
number of returns received to
date it is obvious that several
hundred persons must still file
by Monday, January 15, and it
is therefore recommended by
tills office, states Deputy Wright,
that taxpayers avoid the long
waiting lines usual in a last min
ute filing rush by appearing ear
ly in the coming week if they re.
quire help or information in pre
paring a return. The tax office is
open from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. daily
to all persons requiring assist
ance. Zog May Join Kings
With Regencies
LONDON, Jan. 6 W King
Zog said in an interview last
night that he would approve
creation of a regency for Al
bania if and when a proposal
is made.
The monarch, who has been
living in Britain since 1940, said
he hoped his country would soon
be fully freed and a "lawful
democratic government" formed.
Two of his neighboring kings
George of Greece and Peter
of Yugoslavia have been more
or less forced into ' accepting
regencies.
Elizabeth Deevers, now 113,
was in Georgia as Gen. Sher
man marched through during
the Civil war. She winked at
him, he disregarded her but a
soldier who caught the wink,
winked back and she married
him. Since then she's had eight
husbands and outlived them all.
