But just now the United States is bound by solemn contract with the Klamath drain age district to keep the waters out of the lake bed. This is an indisputable fact. Up to the present time the drainage district has scrup ulously upheld its end of the contract. It has met obligations that have imposed a heavy fi nancial burden on the district. Until such time as the district is unable to live up to the contract the reclamation service will have no moral right or legal authority to flocd the lake at the behest of anyone. When that time comes some modification of the con tract may be sought. And most certainly the reclamation service has. no desire to violate its end of the contract. It has done no more to date than to inquire into the premises under pressure of national field sportsmen's organizations. Auto Or No Justification for There is an ugly rumor prevalent in Klam ath Falls to the effect that stat'epr-ohibition-officers slugged a man who is now recovering from a fractured skull. The arresting officers have consistently maintained that the injured man was struck by a sedan at the moment of arrest, and while he was in the act of attempt ing an escape. It is sometimes necessary, even justifiable, for arresting officers forcibly to subdue a prisoner. The law has upheld officers who have killed resisting or escaping prisoners. But no excuse can justify the falsifying of facts. It is to be hoped the injured man fully recovers and can tell just what happened, if he really knows. o Soon The News opens its strongbox to receive on behalf of the community chest a bunch of half-dollars. Following the first an nouncement of the half-dollar day there have already been several friends of the kiddies who have dropped in their half-dollar. Noth ing will be done with this money except to buy toys for the youngsters. Your half-dollar will make you no poorer. It will enrich you with the joy of giving. And you can know that this Christmas your half-dollar will have swollen to millions in the joy in some youngster's heart. : o Here's a laugh on Previously their business has been considered a barometer of agricultural prosperity.

That was back ln '15. And at that lime Adama reallisd that lo mass Irrigation a success good farmers must handle ths land. Kvvn a good farmer rail nisss things up In short order If he does not understand Irrigation. A poor farmer stands bo chsnre what ever. Years later, when Adams wanted to colonlio the Lakeside lands lying between Adama Point and Malln, he still bore this prin ciple In mind. Not able lo se cure Amerlran farmers of deslr ablo clasa he brought Into the Klamath a number of Bohemian. Today the thrifty and Industrious Malln community la one. of the most prosperous on the Klamath. Adama waa always ready lo go the limit In Inducing a good man to remain on his Irrigation pro ject. And he waa Just aa willing to see a poor one get out of the country, which waa only natural. This time he had his eyea oa a good one. Nathan Merrill. , Merrill had come Into the coun ty at the behest of his brother Charlie. He had brought some money with him. Neither had prnsperrd. through no particular fault of Ihrlr own. Prices wore low, there was no transportation, the country waa new. It was no disgrace to be broke. Hut Nute Morrill waa disgusted. He was ready to pick up and travel, and made no secret of his Intentions. On morning Adams told his wife that he was going out to sell some land. Mrs. Adama, a beau tlful young matron, the daughter of Wm. Steele, originator of the Steele ditch which later became known aa the Ankeny canal, laughed. Hhe laughed because she knew her husband was land poor. She alto knew that every, one around them was too poor to buy. Ilm Jollity acted as a spur. "I think I can place about 1100 acres." he told her. Mrs. Adams laughed some more, but not In rldlculo. The women In those days laughed at hardships out of sym pathy with their helpmeets. If men were men. women were wo men. They struggled side by aldo on the hard land. When Adams came home to din ner he told his wife, not without a trace of satisfaction, that he had sold 1,000 acres In two deals. She may have known something about the terms of real estate trades In those dsys. for she was not great ly Impressed. Aduma was nottled. Ho would show his sweet wife whnt he could do. "This afternoon I'm going over and sell Nate Morrill 1(0 acres," ho asserted, pushing hi , chair bark from the dinner table. Ills wlfo screamed. Then she put her arms around hltn and reached up to pat his .head. "You don't senm lo bn gelling oft on top," she leased. "But If you sell Merrill 100 acres I'll bo Hovo anything you toll me after this." , Adams slrodo out of the house, wung on his horse, and rode over to the Morrill log house. Merrill was nt home, growling about tha country, and seemingly the last person In the world to choose a a prospective buyer. "Came over to sell you 160 acres," announced Adama, coming to the point with tha abruptness f the pioneers.
