DICK Power Break Douses City Lights Power went off at the Cali fornia Oregon Power company eastside powerhouse, darkening lighU in Hot Springs and Hill side additions about 6:34 Thurs day evening, according to Sam Ritchey, Copco manager.

The club house will now be set up at Alameda and Shasta way on ground leased from the American Legion. The 20-30 club had the Garden street lot bought from the coun ty and ready to receive the building brought up from the Tulelake WRA camp, when the club found it was unable to ob tain a local option for erection of the club in a residential zone. The local option requires the signatures of all property own ers within 200 feet of the lot. The arrangement was finally made with the American Legion for use of part of the large plot of ground recently purchased along Shasta way. The club house has not yet been moved onto the ground now in the pro cess of being bladed. Dog Lock-Up Period Nears Next month brings sad news for the canine population of Klamath Falls.

Police Chief Orville Hamilton said today, and dog owners who do not comply will be fined. It's hard to convince a pup that onions and radishes are more important than he is, police observed.

In World War I, we asked no reparations from ANYBODY. We mild our own bills. It was the sumo in World War II. We are asking no loot, no ransoms, no "reparations" from anyone.

Slover of the Marine Barracks protective staff said today he spends more time denying fire than fighting it. The chief today again refuted rumors that the big plant on the hill had suffered in a blaze, and remarked that there have been recurrent reports of that type for several weeks, all unfounded. Chief Slover has five men on a shift to protect the Marine Barracks from fire. He said, however, that the grass hazard is going to be especially bad this year. The state, which plans to take over the Barracks plant for a technical school, has budgeted funds for fire protection, in cluding a chief and assistant chief.

DERBY'S 1 Phone 4519 National Potato Letter Early Spud Crops Suffer From Cold, Wet Weaiher Supply Lots of trade gossip Is out regarding potato stocks remain ing in important late crop sec tions. Plcntv, probably too many, are still held In Mnino but with the exuort deal stilt baonilnii and with much seed demand held back by bad planting weather and car shortages, stocks will soon dwindle rapidly. Red River valley still has potatoes but not really loo ' many. At nn esti mated 2500 to 2700 curs, six weeks (38 working days) would mean an average of only 66 to 71 cars dally. Nebraska and Colorado are practically inrougn, and will not be a factor again this season. Idaho still has po tatoes but will have no trouble with good and large stock. Idaho frequently has late season dif ficulty with accumulations of two's. The Far West is in good shape with fulr stocks and will be able to take care of itself with just a little help on the low grades. - Except in Texas and California the early crop has suffered con siderably from cold, wet weather. North Florida will be ugm ana late. Alabama will be later than usual, but probably escaped much damage to yields. All around the Gulf, the weather was cold enough to retard ger mination and delay maturity. Tennessee could not plant much before April 1, probably will not harvest much before July 1. South Carolina has fair stands in spite of the weather, but is two or three weeks late. North Carolina has had the same trouble, with sprouting Just be- ? inning. Virginia missed sprout ng trouble, but planting was considerably delayed. Califor nia, on the contrary, has had al most ideal growing weather and almost surely will begin ship ping by about the 20th. About these crop delays due to bad weather remember that spuds seem to know that they're late and hurry to catch up. Many a time crops have been held back two weeks or more but have ma tured about on time. Good grow ing weather from now on may make it happen again. Movsmtnt Shipments have slipped off a little from the high levels of the past two weeks, amounting to 6988 cars of which 1573 were for the government That leaves MIS cars for commercial mar 00 The r .. kets, actually a gain over the Preceding week of 139 cars. Initio continues to lead with 330(1 curs for a six-day average of 851. Idaho moved up lo 1133 cars with a better car supply. North Dakota ami Minnesota to gether put out 843 rnrs with 348 of these for export, Michigan moved 318 ears fur tha week. Oregon Is tapering off, fulling to about half the figure for the preceding week.
