The heavy rain which fell Tues day night and Wednesday may prove to be a million dollar ben efit to Klamath county farms, ac cording to agricultural author ities, particularly E. N. Combs and M. H. Oldemeyer, of the Sacramento Valley Sugar com pany, who have been supervising the planting of Klamath's 600 acre beet crop the past ten days. A large part of the local acre age ha. been planted, according to tbe beet authorities and the re cent heavy warm rain was made to order to sprout the new crop. The beet men take the position that the benefit should not be figured for this year's limited acreage alone, but they feel that good result, from this year's test crop will mean the adopting of large scale beet growing here as a profitable and major Klam ath county Industry. Outside of the beet grower, the farmers who are most benefited are the dry land tiller, who are practically guaranteed a bumper crop of grain by a heavy precipi tation coming the latter part of May or early In June. Last year the dry land farmer, suffered a total loss from their farming operation, owing to the protract ed drouth which started practical ly in April and continued until early winter.

Into tbl. lection The following clipping from tbe Inyo Reg liter, an Owen, valley pub lication ot a recent date, give, an account of tbe feeling towards the Klamath country that has been stim ulated in that section: "The Klamath Fails region, in southern Oregon, Is receiving much attention from Invokes who antici pate seeking new locations. This interest was stimulated by Sam Head, formerly ot thl. county, and now a prominent citizen ot the Oregon section. Among those who have made trip, there in the recent past were Frank Dearborn, who has already acquired a ranch property, Adam Farrington. and other among the first to respond to Head's invi tation to investigate: George Rome, Chaa.

Judge Carey bad this statement" to make: "The announcement 1. not as Im portant aa It seem.. For some time past it ha. been generally believed that the Southern Pacific was In control of the Strahorn line, and that the granting of the request of Mr. Strahorn'. road for terminal privilege, in Klamath Fall, would result in duplicating the extensive terminal facilities already controll ed by the Southern Pacific in the city. ' "It may not ba so generally un derstood, but it is a fact that the pending application, of both the Strahorn lines and the ' HlU lines. before the Interstate commerce com mission for permission to balid trackage tributary to Klamath Falla would soon make it necessary (or both the Strahorn and the Southern Pacific companies to an.wer tha specific interrogatories propounded by the commission, and to state under oath the' exact relations and understanding, between the latter companies.

FIRE DEPARTMENT'S FAST WORK AGAIN PROVES ITS EFFICIENCY The tire department was called out at 4:36 yesterday afternoon to battle with a stubborn blaze which broke out in a barn located near the corner of Tenth and Grant streets, In the rear of the home of Attorney Frank L. Mars. Despite the dangerous condition of the streets, from the record rain which fell Tuesday night and Wed nesday, two lines of hose were play-j ing on the flaming Interior ot the structure within twelve minutes from the time the call came Into head quarters. Owing to three or four building, located dangerously near the scene ot the fire, the firemen faced the task ot preventing a real conflagration. In advance of the arrival of the department, someone proved himself to be a real hero, when twelve Rhode Island Red hens and a de jected roo.ter were bundled to safety from the flaming barn which served as the home of the blooded poultry. The loss from the fire will prob ably not exceed three or four hun dred dollars, although the fire chtot will undoubtedly recommend that the charred structure be torn down at an early date. i 1 (Continued on I'"8o 8)
