A new Duraclean dealership in
the Klamath area has been opened
by Don K. Crnnk of 1336 Oak St.,
resident of Klamath Kalis for 21
years ... the Duraclean Dealers of
America is an international chain
of "in the home" rue and uphol
stery cleaning and mothproofing
dealerships, established in 1930.
, . . Duracleaning is not a wet
snaking or scrubbing process.
Cronk says, so home furnishings
can be used again the same day
they are cleaned.
The Matthews Building is being
built at Fourth and Pine for Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph DiBattlsta (owners
and operators for the last 11
years of Sundown Tent & Awning

... the new office building is
named for O. I). Matthews, pre
vious owner of the property for 46
years . . . general contractor is
Leon W. MrGuire, 4008 Delaware
. . . the new one-story structure
will have Riviera broken-face pum
Ice tile exterior facing . . . 3,480
square foot area will provide ap
proximately 1200 square feet of of
fice space for Robert A. Mitchell
and Bcrtrand F. Lehmann, public
accountants, and approximately
2200 square feet for new offices for
General Adjustment Bureau (Harry
Todd) . . . double restrooms for
each set of offices and Fourth St.
entrance . , . completion date has
been set for Sept. this year and
It will make a decided improve
ment in the appearance of that
part of the Klamath Falls business
district ... a metal name plate
has been ordered by the DiBat

as the Matthews Building.
At Tacoma, taxpayers were
saved an estimated $135,000 when
a school architect specified wood
. Klamath Falls, like many
towns in the West, uses the Uni
form Building Code in its entirety
. . . as Weyerhaeuser Timber Co
points out, there is nothing in that
code which precludes the use ol
wood for schools where they art
now located or likely to be fn the
luture . . . there is plenty of land
so that tall structures are unnec
essary . . . even structures with
brick facing, if that suits some
aesthetic tastes, can still use a
wood frame, wood sash, paneling
ana wooa Deams.

Bowers Food Sales (Dick Bow
ers), Klamath Falls, reports he is
selling lour times the quantity of
cookies this summer he sold last
year ... he features the entire
Grandma Cookie line which is
made in Portland . . . this year
ine date-tilled oatmeal cookie is
the best seller of the 47 varieties
in the line . . . Grandma Cookie
Co. started making cookies more
than 40 years ago and the first
type produced, the buttermilk waf
er, is still right up there among
the top four or five varieties in
sales.
A felt need is being supplied by
the ice dispensing machine which
City Ice & Supply Co. (Cliet Ham-
aker and Bill Vannicc) has set up
at the intersection of Oregon and
Biehn on the Lakeway Service Sta
tion lot on the Oregon Avenue side
... the money-in-lhe-slot apparatus
dispenses 25-pound chunks of ice
and baas of crushed ice weighing
about 12 pounds ... the location
was chosen because it is on the
way to Lake of the Woods, Rocky
Point and other picnic, camping
and resort spots on Upper Klamath
Lake and is also near the entrance
to Moore Park and convenient to
nearby motels.
At the same time, we settled a
Inngtime discussion. . . . Hamaker
Mountain was named for or by
Chet Hamaker's grandfather's
brother, an early day land agent
of this area ... his name was
Wes Hamaker and, apparently for
variety, he spelled the name dif
ferent ways on different land
claims . . . some of the old maps
list Hamaker Mountain and some
of the newer ones spell it Hay
maker Mountain.

Historic Timb'er To Cook Enormous Elks Barbecue
VACLAV KALINA, who has lived nearly half a century in
Malin, displays part of a track once used in a horse barn
on the Dalton Ranch near Malin, used to move hay to the
animals tied at mangers. The metal was beaten out, prob
ably by the ranch blacksmith. Nails dotting the timbers
are handmade square nails. Timbers from the old barn and
from other sources on the ranch will be used Sunday to
cook beef for the Elks barbecue.

Four beeves, to be cooked for
today's annual Elks barbecue and
picnic in Malin Park, will be bar
becued with poles and timbers
that have a histor dating hack
lo the time of the Jesse D. Carr
livestock holdings at the end ot
the Modoc War. That was about
1875.
Ben Pickett, pioneer rancher of
Malin, who worked for the Carr
interests in those early days when
cattle roamed where they willed
and horses were used for more
earthy business than a polo mount,
recalls some interesting facts
about those timbers.
The hand hewed logs to be
hurned to prepare a tasty dish,
were once used for feed racks.
built on the wagon run
ning gears. These racks, built
higher than racks used for cattle
feeding were pulled from place to
place about the fields, filled wilh
hay and left for horses to eat
their fill. Each rack was construct
ed with feed boxes about six or
eight feet apart for grain at given
distances and the animals, some
times tied by cowboys riding the
range, ruhhed necks against the
poles leaving them slick and shiny.
The slick surface is still evident.
These racks, once filled with
fragrant meadow hay were first
used on the Carr Clear Lake
Ranch about 20 miles from the
present W. C. Dalton ranch, for
merly part of the Carr Ranch, lo
cated near the Oregon stale line
in California.

Retriever
Theme Set For
Duck Stamps
The 10th annual federal "duck
stamp" contest to select a design
for the 1959-60 issue of these
stamps which waterfowl hunters
must purchase opened this year
on August 1 and close on Novem
ber 3, the Department of the In
terior announced.
Wildlife artists who desire to en
ter their drawings in the contest
should submit them on or before
the deadline date lo the Office of
Information. U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Washington 25, D. C.
Judging of the designs will take
place in November by a commit
tee composed of waterfowl authori
ties. This year artists are heing asked
to submit drawings which show a
retriever in action. The idea has
been suggested by several conser
vation organizations whose mem
bers are anxious lo promote a
campaign to reduce crippling loss
es by the use of retriever dogs
while hunting. Crippling losses are
now estimated to be approximate
ly 25 per cent nf the annual kill
of migratory waterfowl. I
Designs submitted which do
not show a retriever at work will
not be eliminated from the con
test judging. Each design will he
judged on its merit. Artists submit
ting such designs are reminded
that the subject must he a true-
to-life portrait of watorfowl. The
species depicted should be readily
iclenlifiahle and shown in position
and plumage as the hunter sees
them."
In lhe case of walerfowl por-trail-lype
entries, preference will
be given in the judging to species
which have not been used on a
stamp within the past five years.
The retriever type nf design, how
ever, may use any species of
watorfowl.
All interested artists are eligible
lo enter the contest and may sub
mit as many designs as they wish.
Upon request to the service, pro
spective contestants will be sent a
leaflet containing contest rules and
suggestions, along with a copy of
the agreement covering contest re
production rights. This agreement
is to be signed and returned to the
service prior lo lhe contest judg
ing. If an artist submits more than
one design, he is required lo sign
a separate agreement for each
one.
A free copy of the leaflet, "Rules
for the Annual Federal Duck
Stamp Contest" Is available lo in
terested artists bv writing to lhe

Father Sees Girl,
Still Isn't Sure
LOS ANGELES U'PI) Leo
Weissmann, 59, was hack in his
Bronx, N.Y., homo Saturday still
not sure whether the woman he
talked to in Los Angeles was his
daughter.
"I have no way of knowing if
she's my girl." Weissman said
Friday before leaving. "But I
can't do anything more here,
I might as well go home."
Weissman and his son, Fred, 30.
who also flew out here but was
unable to be sure Mrs. Ingeborg
Weissman Rubinfeld, 34, was his
sister, were separated from Mrs
Weissman and Ingeborg 20 years
ago in Europe as I hey tried to- es
cape the Nazi terror.
Mrs. Rubinfeld consented to
have a blood test taken along with
Weissman to see if they are of
the same blond type. But even if
Ihey are it would only prove they
possiniy could be father and
daughter.
Mrs. Rubinfeld said sadly as she
waicnen weissman leave:
"1 don't remember anvthine
about my early life and that's all
there is to it.
"But he's such a nice man he
would he a good father."

they were used for many years
and only recently dismantled. The
holes in the poles were hand bored
and the wooden oegs that held
poles and timbers together were
also made by hand.

POOR BUT RESPONSIVE
NEW YORK UP - British star
Richard Burton detects a certain
difference between the readiness
to laugh of poor folk and their
richer cousins. Burton, who recent
ly completed a run here in "Time
nrmemnereu, pui u mis way:
"The English audiences come from
every class with seats ranging
tram 25 cents to two dollars top.
Because of higher prices, Ameri
can audiences are middle class or
heller. From my experiences, poor
people tend to laugh more easily at
comedy."
lorged by the ranch blacksmith,
master of the forge, the anvil and
the hammer. The square metal
nails came from the same source.
The barn has not been used line
about 1915.
Juniper posts that will also go
up in smoke, that have been in
the ground since 1891, are for the
most part still solid where they
have been buried. Many of them
slill have lengths of the early-day,
inch-wide ribbon barbed wire at
tached. Vac Kalina. who with William
Carter, Klamath Falls, is co-chair-
manmng the annual event for Elks
and their families, said that about
five truckloads of the wood were
hauled from the Dallon ranch.
Twenty five Elks turned out to
help pile and load the lumber and
haul rocks for the barbecue pit.
Some 2,500 are expected for the
feed.
