club met lust night. at the Hall
hotel to review clauses for the
proposed special use permit al
lowing a ski tnw and cabin to
be built on Sun mountain near
The Dalles-California highway
south of Sun pass. -
This club was officially organ
ized only a month ago, but Inter
ested persons have been work
ing on the organization since
1D42. Sol Wirth is president of
the club and Herbert Barry is
secretary. There are about 20
members In the club at the pre
sent time.
It will take approximately
two weeks to clear all regula
tions on the proposed project,
said Wirth, and then work on the
run will be started. The cabin
will probably be built some time
this summer, he said.

Governor Earl Sncll of Ore
gon has signed extradition
papers for Samuel F. Ashwcll,
wanted in Klamath Falls to an
swer a charge of larceny by
bailee. Ashwell is being held in
Lordsburg, N. M., and the ex
tradition papers have been for
warded to the governor of that
state.
Ashwell, whom Sheriff Lloyd
L. Low said had a lengthy crim
inal record, is said to have pur
chased a Ford from Balsiger
Motor company with a $175
check which "bounced." Ash
wcll brought the Ford to the ga
rage and asked to have it re
paired and the garage gave him
the use of a 1937 DeSoto while
the Ford was being fixed. Ash
well is said to have made off
with the DeSoto on January 16.
He was later picked up at
Lordsburg on a warrant from
Klamath county.
Directors Approve
Brief On Water
Diversion Plan
(Continued From Pago One)
which will start at 10 a. m. in
the American Legion hall. The
hearing will be held by the
U. S. engineers who are prepar
ing a report to congress on the
proposed diversion scheme.
To Outline Expansion
The chamber report will out
line the possibility of a vast
expansion of irrigated agricul
ture in the basin, which will re
quire commensurate increases in
he use of water. It will also
point out the increasing con
sumptive use-of water as agri
culturists plant more intensive
crops, and the per acre produc
tion of these crop increases. The
necessity for protecting the
water supply for this agricul
tural development, particularly
during possible periods of ex
tended drought, will be empha
sized. Owens Valley Example
The chamber brief points to
the experience of Owens valley
in southern California, which
lost its water to Los Angeles,
as an indication of what can
happen to an area when an
other area establishes a claim
upon its water resources.
It is expected the Enterprise
irrigation district, through A.
M. Thomas, secretary, will make
separate representations at the
hearing, as will the Indian serv
ice and other groups. Landhold
ers in the Sprague river area,
which would be flooded for a
reservoir site under the diver
sion program, will probably be
heard from.
Senator Randolpfl Collier and
other members of a California
senate investigating committee,
will appear at the hearing. Bon
neville representatives are ex
pected here for the event.
Charles Stricklin, Oregon state
engineer, has been asked by the
chamber to be present.
The city of Klamath Falls,
through the common council,
has prepared a resolution which
will be submitted at the Tuesday
hearing. The city of Chiloquin
has indicated warm interest in
the proposal.
It has been indicated 'the
American Legion is considering
signing the chamber's brief or
making some other representa
tion at the hearing.
Klamath's CIO and AFL labor
organizations are also under
stood to be considering represen
tation at the hearing.
The chamber sponsored ' a
meetine Fridav afternoon at
which representatives of inter
ested organizations were in
formed as to the form and con
tent of the land use committee's
report. President Malcolm Epley
of the chamber presided, and
Jenkins, Wales and Ganong dis
cussed parts of the report.

Pearl Harbor.
But WE ARE STAYING.
We are staying and THUMB
ING OUR NOSES at the Jap
navy, daring it to come out and
fight for its homeland.
As this is written, the dare
hasn't been accepted.
ACCORDING to the enemy,
our amphibious forces are
invading Iwo Jima, in the Bon
ins. We landed in two places,
Tokyo radio says. As usual, the
Japs say we were thrown back
into the eca, most of our war
ships sunk, etc.
It isn't unlikely that we are
invading Iwo Jima, which lies
halfway between the Marianas
and Japan and serves as an ex
tremely useful air warning post,
tipping Tokyo off when our B
29s are coming.
""pHE Jap radio even mutters
nervously into its beard that
we may at any moment attempt
a landing on Japan itself and
mentions Boso point (east of
Tokyo bay) as one of two likely
places, the other not being men
tioned. ,
ON the western European
front, the Canadians wallow
forward through the mud against
increasing German resistance.
The other SIX allied armies in
the west are all relatively quiet
today.
ON the eastern front, Konev
and Zhukov have apparent
ly affected a firm junction. The
Germans facing them have
rushed in new infantry and arm
ored reinforcements and are
counter-attacking with increas
ing energy
Moscow dispatches report that
the nazis are throwing all kinds
of troops Berlin schoolteach
ers, policemen, etc. - into the
fighting southeast of Berlin and
are trying desperately to form a
solid line.
There have been four days of
good air weather, and US and
British planes, coming out of the
west to hit the German rear, are
backing up the Russian attacks,
disrupting nazi communications,
strafing supply columns, shoot
ing up enemy troops on the
roads, and so on.
-
BRESLAU, a city of some 600,
000, has been entirely sur
rounded by the advancing Rus
sians. Its defenders fight on, as
the surrounded Japs in Manila's
ancient walled city fight on,
without hope, buying delay with
their lives.
It was thus the surrounded
Germans fought in Budapest.
In Poznan, back in Poland,
long since engulfed by the on
rushing Russians, the German
garrison still fights on, without
hope of rescue, to the final bit
ter end. Berlin dispatches today
indicate that the final bitter end
in Poznan is near.
Such is war against INDOC
TRINATED peoples.' -

Little Hope Offered
Nation's Fag Smokers
(Continued From Page One)
As far, as. is known, the Bar
racks is the first military , in
stallation around here to use
the ration system. , The cards
were issued more than ' three
months ago.
Figuring on the basis of 3089
men at the Barracks, the pack
consumption runs just about 92,
670 per month. Civilian workers
at the Barracks are not per
mitted to buy their cigarettes
at the post exchange.
And now to the "I got there
first" customer. The civilian
who has always ordered his
cigarettes by the carton from
his grocer. He or she, as the
case may be, now prowls Main
street and the outlying districts,
proudly displaying the day's
loot, if any.
Civilian smokers will be sur
prised to learn that approxi
mately 86,400 packages of cig
arettes are distributed weekly
to various stores in this city.
Where do they all go?
Distributors say that more
people are smoking and more
of the old smokers are smoking
more! And some buy cigarettes
whether they want them or not.
Present distribution is one
third less than that of December
25, local dealers reported this
week, and the situation will be
more worse before it gets any
better.
The early part of the week
an OPA announcement was
broadcast, advising dealers that
all cigarettes for sale had to be
displayed on counters. . That
threatene'd to end the "stoopy"
policy which exists here. No
official word has reached local
OPA offices, and retailers will
continue to put cigarettes under
the counter, using the dole sys
tem which will keep the shop
per on the prowl.
