INTERIOR STILLS DO BIG BUSINESS ed to just Klamath wake up, they will find sentiment for retaining the old name will win out, according to trend of 516 votes turned Into the Klamath News up to yesterday af ternoon. Yesterday the News count showed there were 211 votes for changing the name to Klamath against 305 for keeping the city's name aa H is. This makes a lead of just 94 in favor of retaining the name by which the city has been known during its career from earl ier days. By those who favor the change it is stated that so many tourists ask "where the falls are." Others cite the expedltiousness of a short name for business purposes. On the other hand sentiment runs strong In the breast of those who favor retaining the old name. "Why, a man couldn't stick his head out of the window and yell that for a minute without getting crowned with bricks from all di rections, down where I live," com mented one elderly man, who has a sentimental attachment for the old name by reason of family associa tions of picneer days.

(Unit ed News) Prohibition enforcement officials have met with fair success in their fight against rum row,, but this success has merely stimulated production of Illicit liquors In the whiskey stills of the Interior. I This opinion was expressed Fri day by W. H. Stayton, head of the association against the prohibition amendment in a statement pressing the federal council of churches "for Us frankness and courage," In Its recent report on dry enforcement. "The crux of tho report," says Stayton's statement, "lies In the ad mission of the unhappy 'trend' fol lowing the apparently favorable re sults of prohibition enforcement which reached their peak In 1920. The report professes uncertainty as to the future tn this respect. "The reason for tho subsequent trend may be a secret to the drys, hut It Is no mystery to others. The sober fact, if it may be so char acterized, Is that the forces engaged In the contraband liquor traffic have been systematically organized to the point where they can sup ply the demand once catered to through the legalized channel of the saloon.

It was learned yesterday that the county commissioners of Lake county have authorized their district at torney, Arthur T. Hay, to urge a line from Lakevlew north to a con nection with the Crane-Odell line to the east, provided the public service commission of Oregon rallies enough support to compel the. building of the cross state line. Many of the people of Lakevlew are understood to favor the proposed connection with the Crane-Odell line, although their major Interest la In the broadgauging of the Nevada California Oregon railway, which Is a part of the Southern Pacific com pany's program for developing nor- ( thern California and southern Ore-I gon, and affording a direct trunk line from Klamath Fails to eastern markets via Ogden.

RESCUE WORK BEGUN FOR THOUSANDS SOLD TO SLAVERY IN WAR GENEVA, Sept. 25. (United News) Thousands of hoys and girls sold into slavery in Asiatic Turkey as a result of the Armenian depor tations during the great war. may be rescued now under a movement started by the league of nations. The league assembly Friday ap propriated, 115,000 to be employed in the rescue work, which already is In process, but has been hampered the latter there came a temporary iky iack of funds. It is estimated hiatus between the elements of sup ply and demand. This has since been bridged. Every effoiy. to bring about a break In the line In one direction is follcwed by a strengthening of another. COURT HOLDS UP ELLIOTT HEARING that 2,000 can be saved in the reg ion of Ras-el-Rin, the center of the district where, In 191. the adult remnants of the deported Araien lans were massacred and thou sands of the children were sold Into domestic slavery. Some of tho children were bought by rich families, who sin cerely desired to alleviate their suffering, and North Bend, which officially represent the Coos bay district.. Plan Long Cherished : The Crane-Odell line has long been the cherished plan of the Ore gon public service commission. Pub lic statements, urging its construc tion, have been made In Klamath Falls by Chairman H. H. Corey of the Oregon public service commis sion, and other representatives of the commission have urged It at public gatherings elsewhere In the Btate. It is assumed that If such a line were built the Union Pacific would have to construct It, and the Union Pacific has Indicated Its reluctance , to undertake the task. Pnblic Opinion Sought Apparently the Oregon public ser vice commission Is relying upon the public opinion that it may be able to arouse to support the project. The Crane-Odell line ' would run through an extremely sparsely set tled territory. The proposed line connecting Lakevlew with the Crane Odell line would give some strength to the latter from tonnage which might be developed from the Chew aucan. Summer lake and Silver lake districts. s POLICE CHECK ItCKGLAK STORY BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Sept. 25.
