Lower K'amath Muddle
Some Time the Way May Be Cleared
Bird lovers may some day realize their de
sire to have the Lower Klamath lake re-flooded.
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.

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.

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.

When tho reclumntion amice entered the Ki J
it paid Adama $100,000 for hit riKhU Ad.-l
miles long, with Us bead on the
Utile Klamath, together with lat
erals, to ssrve 10.000 acre.
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
