The New Game Hog New Forest Mill What Keeps the Wheels Turning Near Chiloquin today will be heard the whirr of a new sawmill owned by the Forest Lumber company. Depletion of timber areas in ether sections of the country brought the Forest interests into the great Klamath coun try. Back of this new Klamath enterprise there is a story replete with human interest. It is no uncommon record for the Forest people to have men in their employ for twenty years. They have had many men with them for much longer periods have raised men from boyhood in the industry. . During the winters they make it a point to keep their mills running, chiefly to furnish steady employment for their men. They do not believe it pays to hire a new crew each sea son. They see to it that their employees have opportunity to enjoy model living accommo dations. This element of care in handling the or ganization extends from sawmill to selling force. The sales end is said to be a marvel of efficiency. Building contractors and lumber yards have been steady customers of the For est concern for thirty years and more. The patience, foresight and judgment necesssary to create such an enviable organ- i ization needs no eulogy other than the known result. It has been the life work of many men men who have enjoyed their work. Railroad Lands in Klamath This County Once Had Its Share ofO.&C. Grant It may surprise many citizens who com plain of taxes in Klamath county to learn that prior to the act of Congress in 1915, restoring to the government railroad lands known as the 0. & C. land grant some of these lands were taxable in Klamath county. In fact County Assessor Lee was una ware that euch vas the case. President Gore of the Medford National bank yesterday came to Klamath Falls to tell those at the chamber of commerce forum that they were vitally in terested. Gore said it is not surprising that local officials did not know they had been taxing railroad lands, nor that they had ceased to tax them when Congress abrogated the patents under which the lands were held. He says' assessors in counties more greatly affect ed than Klamath professed ignorance of the fact. Gore is backing an effort to secure from Congress appropriations covering such sums as were lost to the various counties in taxes when the federal government took back the railroad lands. The Southern Pacific paid taxes on 43, 1 00 acres it held in Klamath coun ty. This acreage is not now taxable and the burden has been distributed over such lands as are taxable that small proportion not held in reservations and reserves by the federal government. 1 Klamath Advent un Compiled by K. w.

Above ail things, he objected to a prac tice of super-ealntllnesa, his re ligion being something on the "shirt sleeve" order. On one oc casion he had taken for his text. "Vanity," and to point his moral, said: "Nnw If thero la a woman In the congregation lhl morning who didn't look Into the mirror before, coming to the meeting, I want to see her: I want her lo stand up!" A slnglo woman aroso and stood with meekly downcast eyes. To describe her In a kindly way one would sny homoly. Tho preacher rented his earnest eyes upon her. "Well, God bless you, sister," ho said. "It certainly la a pity th.it you didn't. There was a mill at Knu, run by Charlie Woodaril. Why a mill had been established there no one seems to recall. The old-l liners rum em her there was llttlu or no wheat growa within many miles. The mill that was doing all the business was located at Klamalh Falls. It was owned by Thomas Martin, father of Martlu llrolliers, who manage the present flour mill and are prominent In other enterprises. Adams wanted to get the Kouo mill moved down Into his sacllon of the country. News, although it travelled by buckhonrd or horse, back, seemed to travel fast enough. Tom Martin heard of the designs on the Keno mill. It was good business for him to defeat any such move. He purchased the Keno mill for a sung from Wood ard before Woodard learned Ihere was about to be some activity In the flour mill market. Martin knew the farmers had no money to build a mill. He wanted no Interference with his Klamath Falls mill business. He was aked to build In their dis trict, but refnsed. Adsma had set out to establish d mill and was a long ways from being stopped. Also, be wanted that Keno mill. One morning he started out , with some paper and a pencil, lie went first tn Dan Van Prim mer, a big itockmau. and also owner of an Irrigation project. The chief difference between Van llrlmmer and the other residents of the district was that Van (trim mer was known always to hreve some cash on hand. Adama secured Van llrlmmer's signature for a $300 subscription toward building a flour mill. Ev eryone was willing that Martin, the Klnmalh Falls' miller, be shown a few things. Iisn Van llrlmmer's name nt the top of the list was magic. Five additional signatures for 1300 wero secured. Theee heavy subscribers were Adams. Merrill. W. C. "Ran" Crawford, Clint Van llrlmmer and Henry Anderson. The figure was based on what It would cost them In time and mon ey lo haul their wheat to town. Thore wore many contributors for smaller sums. Adams did a lot of hard riding that day. "What does It cont you to haul your wheat to town?" ho would ask. hailing a farmer. The reply, whatever It might be, brought ono iiulck-flro rejoinder. "Put your namo down for that much and we'll build a mill right here," On Adams would hurry to the next man. "I got $3,500 signed up that first day," he related, adding: "There was not a cent nf It any good except Dan Van llrlmmer's first $.100. Hut we had to have a mill." Adams was no flour mill man. He and everyone else knew It, So lo lend atmosphere to his enter prise and perhapa to nssure him self, as welt as his friends, that he really meant business, Adams got Woodard lo come down to his place to live. Adams let Woodard ride around with ' him, but he wouldn't let the miller have a word lo any. Too much conversa tion would have ruined things. Woodard was satisfied with prom ises of a jui, muter.
