Early Froct
The great Klamath country has
made huge stride In all agricultural
branches farm crops, dairying, ani
mal husbandry and poultry raising
it Is shown In the annual report
of C. A. Henderson, county agricul
turist, released yesterday.
Such advances were made in sugar
beet raising that a factory for the
district is practically assured, the
report Indicates. Beets produced In
Klamath during the year were pro
nounced the finest ever seen at the
factory. The opinion was expressed
by experts that Klamath was dea-i
lined to become a sugar producing
center of the west. A total of 76
carload, of beets were shipped to
the factory at Hamilton City.
Lettuce is another experimental
crop tor which a bright future is
predicted. Fifteen carloads of Klam
ath grown lettuce arrived on the
Chicago and New York markets
when the market was short, and
most of It brought top-notch prices.
Frost Damages
Early fall frosts cut down what
promised to be one of the heaviest
potato yields In history. Acreage
had been Increased fifty par cent,

when the frosts hit. The quality
of potatoes wa exceptional, how
ever, and the price began Jumping.
Returns varied from S100 to 3300
an acre to the farmers. Frost dam
age can be averted by earlier plant
ing, it is believed.
"There is a wonderful field In
Klamath county for this crop, and
we bellove that within a compara
tively few years potatoes will be
one of the major crops on the ir
rigated lands," says the report. If
continues: "This section will be
one of the largest potato producing
districts on the Pacific coast, due
to climatic conditions, freedom from
disease and good marketing facili
ties." Experiments on pasture grasses
were continued throughout the year
with ixcellent results. Zawadka al
kali grass was 'tried, and denoted
a good growth on black alkali, where
nothing has been known to grow
previously. A small acreage of
sweet clover is recommended for
pasture.

Briand Pleads for Vote of
Confidence and Wins
298 to 113
PARIS, Dec. 3 The chamber of
deputies voted confidence In the
I new Brtand government by 298 to
113 this morning following a mov
ing appeal from the sged premier
that he be retained in power for
the good of the country.
Interrupting the debate on the
financial project of inflation. Briand
demanded that the chamber of de
puties vote. i
For the first time in my life,'
he ,tt!d' "' am haneln " p"er.
I am troubled In heart. If you over-
throw me, you will commit a grave
Injury to the country."
Barely half the chamber applaud
ed theoo words but far more than
half voted with the government.
Loueheur the minister of finance,
rone when Briand had done and
warned the chamber not to trifle
with a dangerous situation.
"If the Inflation project 1 not
voted tonight," he said, "the grav
est consequences can follow. It Is
my duty to tell you.
"Having examined tile treasury
situation, we decided that the sum
of (,000,000,000 francs was Indis
pensable to insure our complete in
dependence. There are 2,400,000,
000 francs due December 8. Before
the end of the year there will be
2,000,000,000 francs more to pay
tor expenditures of state. .
' "The Inflation Is assured by taxes,
but this project is only preliminary
to much broader proportions.
"If it is not voted I repeat, the
situation would be most grave."
AVIATORS DIE IN
-AIR CRASH
Two Marine Officers Die As
Their Planes Fall at -North
Island
SAN DIEGO. Dec, 2 Crashing
in mid air near the south end of
San Diego bay, two airplanes short
ly before noon today carried Capt.
Harry H. Shepherd and Lieut. John
D. Christian, of the North Island
marine aviation forces to their
death.
The tragic crash occurred as two
of the pianos, while flying 1200 feet
in the air in a three-plane formation
attempted to make' a "cross over
maneuver and collided. The form
ation was being led by Lieut. W. J.
Wallace of the marine forces.
For more tban four hours,' the
body of Capt. Shepherd lay crushed
in the wreckage of his plane. Lieut.
Christian's body was recovered by
a rescue party in a boat but a few
minutes sfter the crash occurred.
Capt. Shepherd wa married
only 19 days. Lieut. Christian was
unmarried. '
When the rescuo party lifted
Christian's body from the water, he
was a short distance from his plane
with an open parachute. It Is
thought that he attempted to leap
clear of the falling craft, but waa
too near the water to forestall a
crash. He was alive but uncon
scious when picked up but died
while being brought to the naval
air station. - - '

"Klamath Falls has already In

of government," it wa declared
yesterday by R. H. Dunbar, epeaker
at the weekly luncheon of the
chamber of commerce. ' "The pres
ent system of selecting the school
superintendent and that of city man
agership are Identical," he said.
While admitting he had been fa
vorably Impressed with city man
agership as adopted by sevenl hun
dred cities through the country,
Dunbar attempted to present an un
biased picture of city managership
to members of the chamber. The
matter had been brought up tor dls-.
cusalon following recent recommen
dations by the mtyor's budget com

with a view to adoption in Klam

No Opposition
And judging by the reception
given the proposal by the sixty or
more members of the chamber, the
suggested charter change will be
enthusiastically embraced by the
city. Not a dissenting voice was
raised, nor objection heard when
R.- C. Oroesbeck, who presided,, said
he would like to hear from any who
might be Opposed to managership...
"The 'city at large, rather than
t-y the ward system, now electe its
board of school directors. The
board in turn chooses a school su
perintendent," continued Dunbar.
"A local man is not picked for
school superintendent, because this
