KENNETH EVANS Transportation is the connecting link which brings pro duction and. consumption together and, which has played a m6st important part in supporting Klamath Falls strategic ' location as a distribution center. Klamath Falls without railroads, highways, motor truck transport and airplanes would com pare to an inland barricaded mountain re gion without contact with the outside world and symbolizing stagnation. Klamath Falls, with good rail facilities, highways and adequate transportation facili ties meant a busy, thriving center reaching into the outlying districts and drawing from them and giving back in return the life blood of a healthy commercial, industrial and cultural center. Today, Klamath Falls it the marketing, trading and distribution center for a wide region. It it the hub around which an extensive commerce moves with the highways as emblematic spokes of a large commercial wheel. The principal north-south high- B. K.

Klamath county naa a wiai oil Tlt.t mllea ol county roadways of which Jeo.Jl mues are eunacea, gravel or rock with 1M.44 miles that are oil aurlaced. The farmers In the county appreciate this sys tem of roadways which could right fully be clsased es "farm to mar ket" roads. Of the 1.3M larms In the county' there are sea located on herd surfaced roada and US located adjacent to gravel or rock roads. There are aoJ mues or un improved roads with 170 terms lo cated on these roads. These un improved roada are claasUled as feeder roadways and are usually passable during the months In the yesr when the farmers ere har vesting and marketing crops. In fact. Klamath county haa as many miles of county roads as Multno mah Count. ; IMPORTANCE OF ROAD EXEMPLIFIED The well known expression: "All Roads lead to Rome," had Its ori gin and was prompted by the high type civic pride which made Rome a social, financial, cultural ' and civic ruling center of the then known world. The expression, doubtless, was originally employed In a poetlo or figurative sense but without lis eoDllcstlon to the ac tual roada on the ground, Rome would never have attained to her newer.

True "ADolsn Way" could be compared to U.B. 17 highway In. Klamath county and It Importance tooey. It wea not too many years ago that an ordinary earth road was considered ample for all time to come, but the development of auto mobiles end trucks with tneir rugn epeed end hesvy loads, demanded something more durable end cer tain. Even when the automobile came and the more progressive realised the Importance ol lm. proved highways, some taxpayers atin contended tnat me oewennenv of U: roada waa tor trie pleasure nf a few. As time passed, however, all recognised the fact that the truck and sutomoDU j were neces sltlea and that good roads were lndlsnenslble from this beginning hlghwsy construction hss become one ol the most Important project ever before the American people, GOOD RAIL FACILITIES Klamath Falls Is served by two asperate main line railroads. The ooenine of the Natron cut-off be tween Klamath Falls and Eugene In 1B26 placed the city on the main north-south route of . the Southern Pacific railroad. The sec ond main north-south raUroad opened in 1931 when the Great Northern completed Its line south to Bleber. Cell!., where it con nects with the Western Pacific through the Spokane, Portland and fCenttaaed . ea Page 41 Action May Shut Down KF Outfit A hearing was begun In Circuit Court this morning on whether William A.

By WALLACE MYERS Mrs. Ralph Hill miraculously clung to life In the Iron lung at Klamsth Valley Hospital todsy. The 37-year-old wife of a promi nent Henley rancher became un conscious and stopped breathing at Hillside Hospital Wednesday alter noon. She waa kept alive by arti ficial respiration and a City Fire Department resuscitator squad until she could be transferred to the other hospital and placed In tne iron lung. She had entered Hillside Hosni- tal Tuesdsy after suffering severe migraine headaches. Cause of Mrs. Hill's sudden collapse into crtuesl condition was diagnosed yesterday The exnloston threw bricks from the building; 700 feet. It shook four counties. It even got a resell on on the University of California seis mograph at Berkeley, 12 miles to the south. San Francisco, 30 airline miles away, was Jolted. An employe who declined to give his name said the "dope bouses" were considered relative ly ssfe from explosion. He ssld three hsd burned In the past four years without exploding. Only two men were in the M by 50 foot brick building which was used for mixing "dope" liquid in gredients of dynamite. They pre eumably touched off the plant fire whistle which brought workers running. Then came the blest whioh "almost knocked our hesds oil," iald workers farthest from the scene. , , Those closer to the explosion didn't live. . , Eugene D. Hatfield, Hercules employment supervisor, said: "We probably will never know the cause ol the blast." Crater Ski Outlook Good Four Inches of powdered snow stop a snow psck well over -100 Inches deep caused Crater Lake National Park rangers to forecast expected good ski conditions over the weekend. Only a slight crust on the ski surface blemished ' the otherwise bright outlook for the next two days. Asst. Chief Ranger Bernle Pack ard described road conditions as good, with no chains required in use In the park. . However, he said they should be carried by motor ists planning to make the trip to the Rim VlUage. Snow depth at the ' lake Uiis morning was Ul inches as com' pared with 161 Inches the ssme date a year ago.

The child, stricken ' with the usually latal disease the first week in January, expressed a desire for watermelon. His aunt, Mrs. Uuy Phillip of Wauna telephoned radio station KFBK In Sacramento. An appeal' was' broadcast, arid the boy received froaen watermelon from Mr, Glenn Wtlm, Dunsmulr, Mr. snd Mrs. Charles Danbrook, Clear Lake Highlands, and Mrs. Decker. Mount Shasta. 'Danbrook, when he neard tne appeal In Clear Lake Highland, drove 48 miles to Wil liam to put the 'watermelon on the bua. ' t Young Davis smacked - his lip's when he saw the melon and ate It right away, his aunt said. She ssld melon was the only food the boy had been able to retain for two day.

But the boy In sisted on attending school and his pslns were not considered as ny- tning serious. ui on Jan. Wi uie boy became nauseated, a physician wss caned- and the case was. aiag. nosed as the dread leukemia.

Hi brothers: Gordon, t, and Michael, (, are too young to know whet it Is all about, Wrong Vay A pintail duck which apparently went south through' the Hawaiian Islands late in US1 probably should hare made the islands "vacation land" this past season as well. Instesd, the duck came through the Klamath Basin and fell victim to a Klamath hunter. And with the shot .which felled the duck comes sa interesting banding record, ac cording to local Fish and Wildlife Service officials. The duck was caught and band ed at Kanaha Pond, Kahulul Maul, Territory of Hawaii, Nov. &. 151. One year and six dsys later Nov. 11,, 1053 hunter Harland T. Robinson, 3143 Biehn. knocked her down along Upper Klamath Lake. Logical presumptions are the I bird was caught and banded in Hawaii during one leg of south bound migration it wss making that year through the islands. And this oast season, she apparently- changed her mind and came south through here. DECREE WARSAW, Poland Ul Poland Friday decreed that all church ap pointments be approved by the state.
