Legion Delegates
To Convention Are
Elected At Smoker
A large group of American Legion
members gathered at the chamber
of commerce .last night where they
were entertained with an Impromp-
lo reform school. Ho did t smoker In addition to their reg-
Thls declaration, it Is learned Is
contained In the note which the
counsel of ambassadors has drafted
advising Germany the allies cannot
withdraw their troops from Cologne
now, because Germany has not dis
armed. The delivery of the docu
ment to the Berlin government has
been postponed until Thursday.
The note reiterates that Ger
many's violations of the treaty have
been serious and concludes, with an
expression of the hope that thoy
will soon be corrected.
Delivery of the note will consti
tute one of the two steps necessary
to bring the problems of German
disarmament and security out of
the hazy stage which has surround
ed them for the past several months.
The second will be the dispatch
of the French reply to Germany's
proposals for a European security
pact.
Flagrant Violations
The disarmament note, including
an annex which reveals Germany's
violations will be published, but the
allies withhold partB of the report
made by the commission ot control,
which formed the basis of the note.
It is Indicated the powers made this
decision so as to prevent agitation
which might arise from publica

LETTUCE EXPERT
One hundred acres of tho fertile
Wocus marsh has been leased from
Geary Brothers by Hunt and Sau-
dcy, of Los Angeles, for planting
in lettuce this year, according to
announcement by A. M. Collier at,
the luncheon of the directors of
the chamber of commerce yesterday.
This new Industry In Klamath
county was commented upon most
favorably by the directors. The
planting of this crop and lis care
and harvest will require the em
ployment of some 30 men for the
greater part of the' year, It was
pointed out, and the gross Income
from the first big wholesale let
tuce planting with a normal yield
will aggregate several thousand
dollars.
, Hunt and Saudey are consider
ed the largest lettuce producers
and dealers on the Pacific coast,
operating farms In the Imperial val
ley and In the Yakima valley.
Wash. Credit, for Interesting these
big producers here should go to
Iloy Nelson, of Keno, Colllar said.
Nelson is also planting five acres
in lettuce and 80 acres In sugar
boots.
A half cocked report that District
Attorney Ganong would fire his
assistant, W. P. Myers within a
week, or at most a month went
haywire last night when District

at Walla Walla made an official I SDaH towards encouraging rail

When told the source of the ln-!tlca at the Present "me
formation that he was going to! Collier said that it was his idea
fire Myers. Ganong only laughed that the directors merely discuss
and said; "That accounts for It." all angles of the matter and with
Thore Is no change in thtf situ
atlon whatever," Ganong declared
to the News. It is exactly as I told
you when I visited Klamath Falls
on the occasion of the arrival of
my baby son. If, within the next
few months, my condition Is favor
able I shall return to my office In
Klamath Falls, and at present have
no Idea of making any changes.
On the other hand, if my condition
is not Improved to such an extent
that I will be forced to remain here
for any great length of time,' I shall
resign the office of district attorney.
If I should resign, and the district
attorney who succeeds me wishes to
make a change In his office, that will
be up to him. But the report you
Just gave me Is entirely unfounded,
and the situation remains the same.
When I resign I shall let you know
about it."

We can't lose sight ot the ad

road which would tap the wonder

Collier pointed out. The day has
come when we must stand back, of
whatever railroad "offers help to
the struggling Klamath county far
mers. Some ot the directors asked what
material benefit would accrue from
an agricultural standpoint If the
northern roads built into Klamath.
On this-point there appeared to be
considerable difference of opinion!
Director Mortenson, who was pre
sent said the chamber must not
lose sight of the fact that It was
not desirable to have Klamath Falls

and that lines branching out from
here appeared most worthy ot con
sideration.

the car and lost himself in the
woods.
The thrilling chase lasted for
several miles. It started west of
Bonanza. The driver is reported
to have looked around and seen
knowles driving toward him. Im
mediately he fed the car more
gas. Seeing that the man was
showing contempt, Knowles was
forced to slow down his car con
siderably, to enal-le him to fire a
dozen shots in an effort to puncture
a tire. When the speeding car
was about 500 yards in the lead,
the driver and a companion desert

could not be located by Knowles,
who confiscated the machine.
Other violations of the day were:

Harold Enstrand. The trio drew
fines of from $10 to $16 and costs.
A. L. Morris, parEIng on the high
way was fined $5.

"We are here to get first-hand

the explanation of Mr. Hart, ot the
visit of this important group ot
railway men at this time. "Also

office, charges o sc'.Ung ::quor, of

Morris, who represented Lnrue, in
dicated that yesterday's case would
be appealed. The fact that Larue
maintained a gambling house in his
grocery store, where school children
daily bought candy, is considered a
bad moral influence on minors. It
is understood, several children had

to the arrest. Others taken in the

derson. It was announced yesterday.
"During the past two or three
years I have often wondered why
nioro turkeys were not grown for
market in Klamath county. Inasmuch
as climatic and feed conditions are
ideal and our marketing conditions
compare favorably with those of
other sections, Mr, Henderson said.
"The only drawback I can see is the
fact that our production at the
present time Is not large enough to
insure marketing In calroad quan
tities, causing several cents per
pound additional charge tor shipping
nnd pack'ng."
An increase of 60 td 76 per cent
in turkeys shipped out of here would
put Klamath on the turkey map,
according to Henderson. Turkeys
have been shipped to the west coast
from points as far away as Texas,
and there Is no reason why Klam
ath should not bid stronger for this
profitable trade.
