Can Afford Costs
PORTLAND, "cb. 7 UPt The state
of Oregon can well afford the In
creased cost of education in state
owned schools.
So said Dr. Harry K. Newburn,
University of Oregon president, in
a speech before the Oregon Dental

Despite Increased school budgets,
the cost "is only one-half of 1 per

Pond Activity At Town's
First Mill Shown In View
Today's old-time picture snows pond-monkeys busy on
logs beside the old Moore brothers sawmill on Link river
above the bridge. It wos the first privately-owned sawmill in
Klamath county, and the enterprise was established in 1877.
The picture was probably mode around 1910.
The Moore brothers mill was a water-power operation,
taking water from Link river for power purposes.
This mill had a capacity of about 7000 feet a day, and
it employed no more than a dozen or 15 men. It never
shipped much, if any, lumber out of here, because there wos
enough demand in the district for what boards and timbers
could be produced from the old plant. Many of the early-day
farm buildings as well as city structures were sawn in the
Moore brothers mill.
The Moores later moved their mill from the location on
the river to the west side of Lake Ewauna, between what is
now Riverside avenue and the lake. Later pictures in this
series will show the mill in that location.
The mill on Link river wos actually built by William
Smith Moore, who sold it to his sons, Rufus ond C. S. Moore.
The Moore brothers operated the mill until 1910. William
Smith Moore, the father, built a sawmill for the government
at Klamath Agency obovi 1870. The first sawmill in Klamath
county wos a government mill ot the agency built in 1863, to
produce lumber for the buildings ot the new post at Fort
Klamath.
It wos from these small beginnings that the Klamath in-
dustry grew to the huge proportions of the 'twenties, 'thirties
and 'forties.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7 M
Benjamin Lieberman is willing to
forget all about the (92300 treasure
found in his cellar provided he is
paid a fee.
The former $76-a-weck bookkeep

job worrying about the hoard. So

His only condition Is that the

cheatment proceedings.
This the commonwealth agreed
to do. Common pleas court which
is hearing claims put oft a ruling

But Mrs. Anna Theresa Hillop.
