Sheriff's TV Inspire Genius In Local Poet By JAMES PHILLIPS Sheriff Murray (Red) Britton's ruckus-producing TV sets for jail inmates- has finally touched the heart of a local post, inspiring him to the heights of near-immortal lines. Writes local bard Charley Hess: ' "Our sheriff bought them a TV, "The court says 'Bud, you're out of luck!' "My money ain't so plentiful, "But, by gosh, Red, here's a buck!" Hess meant it, too. He enclosed a dollar bill with the poem he mailed to Britton. Furthermore, he said he'd be com ing through with another dollar "installment" next month. The "court" Hess refers to, of course, is none other than the Klamath County Court which has refused to reimburse the shieriff for buying the three TV s. This doesn't bother Britton at all. In fact, he reported today the three sets have already been paid off and that he's got almost all the money back from donations, such as that of Charley Hess. 1 The easy-going sheriff said fur ther that arrangements are now being made to buy three more sets, sn that deliehted inmates can see their favorite shows on all three floors of the jail. Britton is confident that kind- hearted citizens will aid in paying these off. too. The sheriff took kindly to the rest of the Hess poem, entitled "Our Sheriff." which goes like this: "Our sheriff is a philosopher, "He has such a benevolent smile "The actions of the County Court "Try to cramp his style. "Our sheriff is a humanitarian "Alienating pain as he goes, "His hobby helping others "When mixed up in their woes. "Our sheriff is a disciplinarian, "He locks them up with a grin, "When he turns the key In the padlock He is sure they will stay 'with- Are Hess and the friends? Only since 1930.

West Swing Queens Here "The Queens of Western Swing" such is the billing of Ann Jones and her Western Sweethearts, who will make a personal appearance at the Red Barn in Dorris, Cali fornia. Saturday night. Claim to the title is bolstered by the many recordings which Ann has made for Capitol, King and Sims records, and bv the fact that "Ranch Roundup." her TV show has received an award as being the most authentic Westerq show in the Los Aneeles area. Many of Klamath Basin's ex servicemen have probably seen Ann's outfit overseas, as it has toured the world entertaining the U.S. armed forces.

Ohio (AP) After breaking into an automobile and stealing 30 dresses and four suits a thief threw away nis loot downtown alleys. The garments were the backless type used by undertakers in dressing corpses. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) There are two versions ol wny aen. William F. Knowland is quitting a job of great national influence to run for governor of Camornia Knowland's and everyone else s. Knowland: He wants to come home, after J3 years in Washing ton, to spend more time with his family. Consensus: He wants to be pres ident. Senators almost never become president. Only Warren G. Hard ing stepped directly from the Sen ate to the White House. Governors have a much better chance. Whatever the reason behind Knowland's decision, the blunt- speaking, fast-striding senior sen ator from California is committed to the toughest political fight of his career. He vows he will win, serve four years and run again. Conditions appear to be against him. His "big switch" feud with Gov. Goodwin Knight split the Re publicans badly. Organized labor a sizable chunk of the state s six million voters has marked him for political extinction. He faces the best Democratic campaigner in 20 years in Atty. Gen. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown. By November, registered Democrats are certain to outnumber Repub licans by more than a million. They are unified behind Brown and highly confident. In this political setting, inde pendent-minded Knowland hasn't budged hasn't gone out of his way to be popular with the other party in the tradition of former Gov. Earl Warren and Knight. Knowland stirred up the dor mant open shop issue in California with his demand for labor union reforms. Warren, who in 1945 ap pointed young Army major Know- land to the Senate, consistently drummed on labor-management harmony. Knight has been dis tinctly pro-labor. Yet, essentially, the Knowland of today was the same intent. hard-charging man who has never been defeated in four elections who, in 1952, captured both Repub lican and Democratic nomina tions under California's cross-filing system and was re-elected with the largest vote of any state' candidate in American history. His vote. 3,982.448. topped Presi dent Eisenhower's in California by 1,085. 138. From the outset of his nreco- cious interest. in politics a state assemmyman at 24. a state sen ator at 2ti. Republican National Executive Committee chairman at .10 Californians may have dis agreed with Knowland. but thev respect him and, what's more, they vote for him. When he announced his candi dacy for governor last October. Knowland made his position crys tal clear. He said he didn t expect all Californians to agree with every policy he proposed. But, he said: "They will know where I stand and why I stand there." In Washington, as Senate Re publican leader. - he has sided heavily with the administration but he has not hesitated to part with Eisenhower and say so when the White House program con I Helen with his own convic tions. Knowland says the fact that the governorship is a good spring board to the presidency was not a factor in his pitch for the $40,000- a-year state job. He denied Dem ocratic charges that Knight's with drawal from the race was part of a deal engineered by Knowland. The deep-voiced senator, in pri vate life assistant publisher of his family's Oakland Tribune, said he doesn't anticipate being a candi date for any other office during the four-year term in Sacramento which would carry him through 0962. 'Of course," he commented at another point, "no man has crystal ball to know what may happen in the future and ... I would not make a General Sher man-type statement that under any and all conditions, peace or war, no matter what the situation might be, I would not accept if nominated or serve it elected. As it stands, Vice President Nixon, a fellow Californian. quick ly endorsed Knowland s candidacy for eovernor. And Knowland re cenlly described Nixon as the eadine contender and the only major GOP candidate for the presidency in I960. Being governor would give Knowland control of California's big Republican delegation. If it looked like Nixon's year, he could afford to wait. He'll just b 50 on June 26.

Jr. Islricken from the bill. , sat.pm (API For h first I As to the new code time, you are getting a good idea how much it costs to run a politi cal campaign. The credit goes to Freeman Holmer, state elections super visor, who is providing this new service. Candidates and their supporters still have to file expense state ments in the same manner they have for years. The difference is that Holmer and his staff are taking these statements and com ing up with totals which they say are fairly reliable. In the past, the difficulty has been duplication. A candidate might contribute $100 to a candi date's county committee, which might pass it on to this state com mittee. Then it might be sent on to the party central committee. Thus, while only $100 had been contributed, it would show up as S300 in the reports. Holmer says he has eliminated virtually all of this duplication and that his totals should be realistic. He says it's a fairly simple mat ter to do this figuring for primary election campaigns. His big task will be atfer the general election, in which the campaigns are more complex because the campaign organizations are much more ex tensive. Candidates for the major offices each will have many different committees. It probably will take an auditor to straighten them out. In adopting the new election code, the 1957 Legislature did not change the method oKreporting expenditures. There was a de mand that the expense reports be filed before the elections, as well as after, but this provision was HT " H I - m 1 if " .r--jTT' 1 ' h 'r m , , i.

GENERAL FUND - ESTIMATED RECEIPTS Itself, it will get careful scrutiny at meet' lngs ot county clerks nere June 20. and in Prineville June 21. The clerks will meet with Hol mer to discuss further improve ments in the new election law. Holmer says this new law is a tremendous improvement over the old one. The faster tabulating of election results bears him out. But he has no doubt that the clerks will have some ideas about making the vote counting even quicker. If Secretary of State Mark Hat field is elected governor, it will be a homecoming for Miss Leolyn Barnett, his secretary. She worked in the governor s office for 14 years of Republican administrations, ending in Janu ary, 1957, when Democratic Gov. Robert D. Holmes took office. Then she went to work for Hat field, who became secretary of state when Holmes took the top spot. Miss Barnett worked for Govs. Sncll. Hall. McKay, Patterson and Smith. She started out as a sten ographer, but became the top girl in the office when Patterson be came governor. The next important dale on the elections calendar is July 3. That is the deadline for getting signa tures lor initiative petitions. Seven initiatives now are being circulated, but chances are that only one or two will get on the November ballot. Here's what these initiatives would do: Remove the Tax Commission's powers to supervise property tax collections and repeal the proper ty tax reappraisal program. lax nomes at 50 per cent ot the tax rate on other classes of property. Prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquor. Provide price regulation for gasoline sales. Create a state power commission to generate, sell and distribute electric power. Permit teachers to serve in the Legislature. Prohibit commercial fishing for steelhead.

The Oreodon is described as having possessed "the molar teeth of the modern deer, the pre-mo-lars or side teeth of the hog, and the incisors of the carnivors," in illuminating description pro vided by Roy L. Carlson, museum curator. They ranged in size from the stature of a coyote to that of an elk. the description concludes. This skull Is one of several fos sils from the collection of C.
