Authorized Yesterday To
Invite Farmers Into Coun

ath County
C A. Henderson, county agricul
turist will leave thla -week '-.tar
Owena Valley where he will rep
resent Klamath county-in regard, to
bringing tbe Owens Valley farmers
and ranchers to this section where
they hope to take up homesteads
and put them under cultivation in
Klamath county, particularly Lan
gell Valley, and o:her sections of
Klamath county.
The matter was affirmed yester
day when the extension department
of the Oregon Agricultural college
gave permission for the absence of
Henderson from his duties for the
period of one month. The entire
affair has been sponsored by the
chamber of commerce. A special
meeting of the agricultural com
mittee was held last night In the
chamber rooms In order to outline
plans for Henderson upon his visit
in the south.
County Agent Henderson plans to
spend a day or it wo In Klamath
Falls collecting data and informa
tion to use aa a "sales talk" In
Owens Valley. He will make the
trip to the California valley by auto,
thus affording him a convenient
and ready method of transporta
tion after arriving in ithe valley.
Headquarters At Bihop
He will work out of - Bishop,
Calif., and hopes to make a house
to house canvass of the entire dls
trlst. Emphasis will be laid upon
the fact that he Is the representa

or a certain faction or section in
this territory but of the entire
Klamath county. '
Henderson expects to leave Thurs
day or Friday of this week and
wilt probably stop over In some of
the key cities enroute, leaving
Klamath literature and Information
with the chambers of commerce. .
To Boost Kluninth
He will make no undue effort to
Induce the Owens Valley men to
come to the Klamath, territory but
will point out the agricultural pos
sibilities of this district. laying
stress upon the opportunities for
development of the dairy and sugar
beot Industries. .
Since the waging of the water
fight by Owens Valley farmers
against the city of Los Angeles, the
farmers have been more interested
In tho Langell Valley country than
any other section of the coast. Two
caravans, headed by Sam Head, a
former Owens Valley farmer, made
trips to tho Klamath country dur
ing the spring and returned most
favorably Impressed. The majority
of the men were residents of that
section of the valley known as
Bishop, California.
Should the Idea .be received fav
orably, the populating Langell Val
ley will mean that one of the most
fertile sections of the Pacific coast
will be put under cultivation by a
group of men experienced to the
utmost In the production of crops.

SEARCH OF WELL
FOR BODIES OF 2
GIRLS FAILS TO
REVEAL PRESENCE
Excavation of a caved-in
well near the Bradshaw place,
15 mile south of Malin, where
it waa believed the bodies of
the two runaway girls, Esther
and Junie Bradshaw had been
hidden, revealed no light on
the disappearance of the girls,
who left home on the night
of July 7.
Mrs. Bradshaw, mother of
the two girls, is sure that the
girls followed out their threats
to "leave home," which they
have made repeatedly during
the past month. '
KISS MOTHER GOODBYE .
On the morning of July 6,
Junie Bradshaw, with, her
younger sister, left the home
of her father and mother, for
the camp five miles south, near
the edge of a rocky slope. Mrs.
Bradshaw recalled at the time
that Junie, leaning over in the
saddle of her horse, kissed her
mother, and with tears in her
eyes bade her goodbye.
The next night, when the
parents Visited the camp they
found no trace of the girls, and
several articles of wearing ap
parel were missing. A . small
bit of change in a check book
was found on the table, and
pointed toward preparation for
'flight "- vSrr.-r3U-.r;-
JUNIE IS SIXTEEN
" It is the belief of Mrs.; Brad
shew that the girls have sought
the highway and by ride and
lifts south, were able' to reach
a California city,' where they
sought work, as they had often
threatened to do. ' . v. n
Another hope on which the
mother has based the finding
of the girls, is to the effect
that they may be in hiding at
the home jot a nearby rancher.
She thoroughly scouts the
theory of kidnaping..
According to Mrs. Brad
shaw, Junie, the oldest is 16
years of age, and not 13 as
previously reported - by , the
father. Esther, - the younger,
is 13. Fear that Junie would
base her right to leave home
on the fact that she was 16,
has led several to believe that
her true age was kept from
her by her father. '
The camp waa left as tha parents
had seen it the night before the dis
appearance ot the two slaters and
showed no sign ot s struggle or
fight. The faot that the girls had
often talked about going south has
led the mother to refuse to listen
to the stories broadcast concerning
their death or kidnaping.
A miniature corral at one side
of the camp where the young girls
lived during the past two weeks,
links a part ot the tender side ot
story. Tearfully the mother told how
Esther and June had brought a
baby lamb to camp with them tor
company and had gathered stone
from the rocky slope In which to
,teep their pet.
Sheriff Sharp and his dcputle
are working faithfully to uncover
any clues which may present them- .

stricken mother.
infringing on the university's courses
ot study.
On the other hand the board cut
the department ot household arts at
the university from 136 to 36 cred
its. This was the only change In
studies ordered by tha board as a
result ot the controversy.
Dr. C. J. Smith, chairman of the
board of higher curricula, declared
that after long study It was found
that there was very little if any
needless overlapping of studies offered.
