Rain Or Snow For Veel(-End In Oregon It was a loss -up, in me aeatnerman s opinion, wnewer he would dish out rain or inow the next 24 hours but the week end forecast was for one or the other and "little change in tem perature." Folks planning a ski trip to Crater Lake national park were advised early Saturday that pros pects for Sunday were excellent Spud Carload Figures Given A total of 997 railroad car loads of potatoes were shipped from the Klamath basin during the month of January, accord ing to department of agriculture figures. The total to date for the shipping season is 7206 carloads. Despite the daily variances in shipping due to the weather, which at times slowed daily shipments to 18 or 19 carloads, January's total was greater than that for December which was only 882 carloads, a difference of 115 carloads. January truck shipments are yet to be reported. The seasonal total for 1946-47 Is still under .the season of 1945-46, which was 7809 car loads to the same date. The department of agriculture figures show that a greater number of potatoes are being stored in the basin area than before. Also it was pointed out the basin is developing several . industries to make use of pota toes, thereby making a good market at home and doing away with the necessity of shipping out of the basin for sale.

Packed snow of 118 inches is reported on the level. Chains are required in the park and plows are working to open the roads.

Boyle's Column Peace Pipe Smoking Just Isn't Done Along Potomac IHal Boyle, discoverer of the lost vil las of Washington, D. C. concludes his one-man expediUon today with a report on the political habiu of its inhabitants, whom he feels may in some way be a link between the dark aies and the world of tomorrow, I By HAL BOYLE WASHINGTON (PV Today at long last I learned the secret of this overlooked civilization. There are no peace pipes being smoked along the Potomac. I found the reason after venturing single-handed into the dark laby rinth of the great stone icpee where the two opposing main tribes the "republicans ana the "democrats" feud in twi light. This battleground is desig nated the "capitol." I took along a compass and a ball of string, tying one end to a toe of the statue nearest tne door, and unrolled my way slow ly into the dim interior. Thrice I passed forlorn visitors from nearby villages who appealed to me despairingly.: "How in heaven's name do you get out of here?" I told them to grope back along my trailing piece of twine and they rushed away uttering the whimsical local cry of grati tude: "Thanks, Mac!" Tom Toms of Trouble Unobserved. I sat and watched the rival tribal chieftains of this strange race exchange war talk. Their words were tom toms of trouble. Yet these tribes behave most peculiarly. When ever one great chief rose to speak, the other chiefs of both tribes rose and raced for the corridor. All except those too tired or old to defend themselves by flight. These merely sat in strained fatigue, scratching themselves occasionally or read ing the journals which record the battlefield activities. The chiefs of both tribes ap pear to a man to have overde veloped laryngeal reflexes, and at the same time their ears are seemingly allergic to all oratory except their own. Perhaps this tenderness of the tympanum ac counts for all the warfare: they hear no counsel except their own voices. Most puzzling is the fact that the members of the two tribes fight among each other almost as much as they do against each other, certainly the mark of an aboriginal society. Bemused by these conflicting oddments, I encountered an old For your convenience, and to give you even better service, CASCADE CLEANERS WILL MOVE TO OUR NEW BUILDING NEXT TO CASCADE LAUNDRY 330 So. 7th Across From Post Office We'll Be Open for Business In Our New Location Monday, Feb. 3rd "Klamath's Finest" Phones 5111 or 6565 SP Service 'v 11 Co and faithful retainer of the council tepee, his hair whitened. his arches flattened by years of service, who made the whole riddle clear to me. He told me the tribal leaders were but shadow dancers in a dream of power the dream of picking the joint big chief who lives in the great white hut. Periodically Crasy "Ain't many of them will say so. but they'd all like to be him," he said. All the strange antics in the council tepee, he said, grewitrom the dtiure of each tribe to put its own chief tain in the white hut. I told the old retainer I had known of savage peoples in other lands who were seized by periods of lunar madness, but he said here "they only go crazy every four years but they spend a lot of time in between working up to the right pitch. "Isn't this incredible?" I mur mured, leaving. No. said the retainer) "this is Washington." I will leave it at that. Highway Store Changes Hands Mac's store on the Merrill highway at Henley has changed ownership with the purchase by Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Breithauo. The former owner is J. F.

Plays To Tell Basin History The idea of a scries of radio plays dramatizing episodes In Klamath basin history, came from the Soroptimist club and Is one of the projects of the club for 1947. Mrs. Geneva Duncan, presi dent of the Klamath County His torical society, states that the piny scries idea is entirely the Soroptimists' and the society hi only cooperating with material for the episodes, to be drama tized. The statement was made to clear up a point in the story of the society's meeting, which appeared in Thursday's Herald and News, and from which the public might be led to credit the society with the Idea.
