CREDIT SYSTEM FIRST NEED OF BUSINESS MEN j A credit system for Klamath Falls, belter lighting for Main fltreet and an elimination of itin erant peddlers constitutes the threo most Important needs of this business community accord ing to the decision of the Mer chants Durcau At Its meeting last night. Thirteen merchants were pre sent and. thla being the first meeting since the summer recess, the plan for the winter's work was taken up. A number of suggestions were submitted and the three receiving the most sup port were selected to be the ob jectives of the bureau. The credit eystem, entirely lacking here now, was given first consideration 1 and plans were mada for such a system, first having O. F. Tate of the Oregon Retail Merchants association come and explain some of the problems as handled elsewhere. The secretary was Instructed to write Tate and have him make an early date for appearing be fore the merchants of Klamath Falls. , Main street lighting, second on the program, was passed to a committee consisting of Ed Van nice and T. Perkins who will circulate , a petition along Main street from the White 'Pelican hotel to Third street asking the city council to. work out some plan Which will eliminate the poles and wires from that street and give a system of electroliers which will put Klamath Falls In the same modern class so far as l'ghts go as most other cities of the same or even less size. The Itinerant peddler problem is one which vitally concerns the whole community, according to merchants at last night's meet ing, and one which It Is believed Is covered by a state law. This will be acted upon following the visit here of Secretary Tate of the state association, who will be able to give correct information as to how to proceed.

' Inexperienced Safe Cracker Gets 916 But DfHtroys Perfectly Good Strong, Box There should be a school for safe crackers. . It certainly is a waste of good energy and the destruction of quite valuable property to have such a crude Job pulled off as was done at the Shell OU company's main station here last Monday night. - In the first place a real safe cracker doesn't waste his time on a safe which is prectically empty This was contained $21.47 and of this the robber overlooked Ja.10 In the second place a real, ex prlenced man would probably have opened the safe with a kit of Ford tools and save the high explosive. As H was he poured a lot of nitroglycerine into a crack in the door, which he set off; blowing the outer facing of the door off, but leaving the lock and half the door Intact. Tben he had things so messed up that he had to use a bar to finish the Job. By the time be finished the of fice. .which the Shell employes take pains to keep neat, was cer tainly a sight. One girl who look ed the place over shortly after it was first discovered said, "My I wouldn't want tliat. fellow for a husband; he'd never hang up his clothes." Sheriff Lloyd Low found tracks the usual big man and little man but later it developed (hat those tracks were of em- Dloves who dashed wildly around In their excitement when the rob- bry was first known. It is gen erally believed that it was a one man job and a poor man on the iob at that. Some tools and oil were taken from the State Highway ware house nearby, but nothing other than the safe was disturbed at the Shell plant. Entrance . was by the rear door, the robber- evi dently having a pass key which fitted the lock. FORUM GIVEN . OVER TO BOY SCOUT WORK RAIL DIVISION SEEMS CERTAIN Standing of the Clubs Clubs W.

Four P-oy Scouts were present and, under the leadership of Scoutmaster T. A. Meryweather, did some things to show the value of their train ing. , .

BURR ELL SHORT OPENS POLITICAL HEADQUARTERS FOR THIS CITY The purchase of 240 acres of land by the Southern Pacific Rail road company near Where the new line to the north crosses Sand creek has caused rumors to spread throughout this . city that there will be located the division point of the company. This matter came before the directors of the chamber of . com merce at the regular weekly meeting Tuesday noon and the railroad committee, J. A. Gordon, chairman, was asked for Informa tion on this and for any report which that committer desired to make on the matter of the loca tion of a division point by - the Southern Pacific. . ' While no knowledge as to the exact use to which the 240 acres of Sand creek will be put Is claimed by the committee of the chamber of commerce, it was stated that information from var ious high officials of the com pany failed to indicate that as a division point. " In a general discussion of the matter by the directors and oth ers present at the meeting Tues day it was shown that primary di vision points, tnat is those which are necessary for both freight and passenger service, used main ly for freignt service are located about half way between the pri mary divisions. Over the route followed now it is -112 miles from Dunsmuir, a primary division point, to Klam ath Falls. From Dunsmulr to Ashland where a secondary div ision is located H Is 107 miles. The rerouting of the line between Grass lake and a point just north of Sisson will shorten the. dis tance between Dunsmuir and Klamath Falls by aibout five miles thiifl making this distance . al most .exactly that between Duns mulr and Ashland. The location of divisions, it was pointed out by one member of the committee, is for the pur pose of operating the trains and not to build one town or injure another and the distances, . loca-' lion of grades and suitable divi sion sites determine the matter. With the right of way for the Modoc Northern, owned by the Southern Pacific, connecting at Texum, a short distance south of Klamath Falls, with the line now operated and the distances as stated, the location of a division point very close to Klamath Falls seems certain. It will normally be a secondary division point but the building of the Modoc North ern, which is by no means vision ary, will make of It. a very im portant primary division head quarters. The special committee of the chamber of commerce showed by the very complete report made that the matter is being given careful consideration and if any thing can be done to' locate tne division ' point here it Is being done.
