0 AN INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER ' "Let ui have faith that that faith let ui to the end understand it." Abraham Klamath Th;? Coming Playground A Real Bid For Tourists Not An Idle Dream I .While eyes and ears are strained on the develop ment of our Klamath country through railroad extension, there is another phase of development in the offing, of which little has been said, but which is,- perhaps, sec ond not even to the coming of the railroads. The summer of 1926 will see the completion of The Dalles-California highway north of Klamath Falls to The Dalles, making it in every respect a highway of the first line. The summer of 1926 will also see. if Klamath gets busy, the improvement on the only bad stretch of road on the w hole highway south of Klamath Falls, that of the Malin-Lookout stretch of some 15 miles. The summer of 1926 will tell a different story in tourist travel, than last month's figures of this year (1925) when 11.150 foreign cars came up the Pacific highway from California to register at Ashland, Medford or Grants Pass, as compared with 959 coming into Oregon through the Klamath country, east of the Cascades. There are more reasons than one for the change in the channel of traffic. Visitors to the northwest from California will soon learn that to come up the east side by branching off the Pacific highway at Redding, is a much cooler trip. Those who have motored north will seek diversion in a new route'. And, too, the route is more scenic, with Burney Falls and the Pitt river canyon added to the splendor of Mount Lassen, Mount Shasta, Crater lake and the . Columbia highway, all lying oil the route between San Francisco and the rose city. The score may be evened, if not surpassed that 11,150 to 959,' with the odds now favoring the Pacific highway. ,''-..'.'' And Klamath Falls will be the center of the tourist travel. Is it something more than an idle dream that Klamath Falls could be a great industrial center, and at the same time a beautiful, attractive1 and lovable city? It is within reason. Let us waste no time. Let the ideals of Klamath be realized. Let us, at every opportunity, think, and act, and work, and build for a city of charm. : It Waned Last November And Unless We Miss Our Guess. It's Waning Now What degree of success is likely to be attained by Chairman Oldfield of the democratic congressional com mittee on his announced tour of eleven western states? His object is to capture the next lower house of congress. Is there a single state where he can reasonably hope to reverse the republican decision of last November? A convincing negative reply is furnished by the fol lowing table of official returns nine months ago: Coolidge Davis Nebraska ' 218.585 137.289 Colorado 193.956 75,238 utal 77,327 47,001 California 733,250 105.514 Oregon ... f. 142,579 67,589 Washington 220,622 42,842 Idaho 69,879 24,256 South Dakota 101,299 27,214 Minnesota 420,779 55,917 Wisconsin ...... 311,614 68,110 ohio ' : 1,176,130 . 477,888 Has anything occurred since these ballots were counted to indicate defection in the republican party? If dissatisfaction with the administration of President Coolidge exists in any one of these states, it is not ap parent. If the, democratic party under the guidance of state leaders is to win the next house of representatives, it will have to abandon its proposed fight against the pro tective tariff principle. The great mass of industrial workers will vigorously oppose anything that threatens to lower the American standards of living. o .

"Right in Itself is powerless: In nature it Is Might that rules." the philosopher decides. "To enlist might on the side of right, so that by means of It right may rule.
