U.OF ORE. LIBRARY MStSPAPER SICTION 0CM.REP.AN9 BOCUMSST3 OIV coap. Ih Th- Day's Sews By FRANK JENKINS Theme (or todav: WHAT'S IN A NAME? The line is from Will Shake speare's Romeo and Juliet. It is spoken by Juliet, who precedes it hy saying: "0 Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" Juliet then adds: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose "By any other name would smell as sweet. "So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, "Retain that dear perfection w hich he owes "Without that title. Romeo, DOFF thy name." Why all this quoting from the Bard of Avon? Well, it fits, rather patly, an Incident in the early history of our fair city, which originally was y-clept Linkville. Linkville was logical enough hack in 1867 when Uncle George Nurse moved his sutler's store down from Fort Klamath, and thus started our town. It was located on Link river, which links Upper Klamath lake and Lake Ewauna. Viewed in that light, Linkville was only logical. It was not unmusical. It had a good reason for being. So, for a couple of decades, it remained Linkville. and everybody was hap py enough with the name. Rut By lffii- The town was beginning In feel Its oats. In that year, a bill was introduced in the Oregon legisla ture to incorporate the town. R failed on the first try, but at the next legislative session, in 1889, a charter was granted. That did it. Linkville might have been good enough for an unincorporated vil lage. But for an INCORPORAT ED CITY it just didn't tinkle pleasantly enough in the ear. So the search began for a more ap propriate name. The first suggestion was Klam ath City. It sounded pretty good, but alter a few weeks of vigorous chewing it over the town's news paier, the Klamath County Star, came up with a better one. Quoting a prominent citizen of the time, the Star said: "Isa Leskeard, who has been In Portland most of the time since last summer. Il. nks the name of this town should be Klamath Falls. The name advertises the fact that there are FALLS here, and thus gives the town an ad vantage fully recognized as such by other towns simi'ary situated. There is a great deal of advan tage in a town situated by a heavy cataract." The name caught on. and in February of 18! a new charter was granted to the town and its official name became Klamath Falls. And so it has icmained for these intervening 70 years. We like it. We wouldn't change It for ANYTHING. Rut the falls are gone. They went the way of progress Where once the falls were, there is now a dam. The dam raises the former level of Klamath lake and makes it a more beautiful lake. And it diverts the stored water down the valley over tens i.pon tens of thousands of fertile acres. It has added immensely to our prosperity. ftut the tourists still ask: WHERE ARE THE FALLS? It keeps us busy answering, or trying to answer, their question Maybe we'd belter put up a bill board at the Link River bridge telling the whole story. It would save a lot of explain ing.
