OFFICE REMOVAL State Highway Department Criticised for Move Against Klamath The Klamath county chamber of commerce, with headquarters bore, does not favor discontinuance of the local unit of tho state highway de partment. It said so. emphatically, in a let ter yesterday addressed to Roy Klein, state highway englnerc, who had announced that, in the future, local work would be directed from division headquarters at The Dalles. Why -asked the local chamber wero not' local residents, as taxpay ers, consulted by Ihe state highway department concerning the proposed change? Klamath county, as well as Lake county. It was added, arc In a process of rapid dovelopment, and highway work Is of the utmost importance. With the supervising officers a long- distance from Klamath county. It was pointed out, the proper watch fulness could not be maintained. The chamber expects lo do all In It. power to return to, or near. Klamnlh Falls, tho offices of the men In charge of road work. Always, tho chamber contended, there are problems In this vicinity. due to the fact that there is so much of the macadamized roads here and, as a result, road men are needed for maintenance work. Ilopo was expressed yesterday that the local chamber may convlnco the slate department to change Its official mind. C. C. Kelley, division enginero, who was In charge locally, was re leased as a result of the action of Mr. Klein. Klein declared that his proposal, announced Tuesday, was mado with i a view to economising.

Merchants said yesterday that, be cause of the so-called spinal menin gitis epidemic here, their sale have fallen off materially. In view of the fact that the scare bos appar ently disappeared, however, they were optimistic regarding their busi ness during the next few days. One restauranteur said yesterday his business had fallen off $50 a day. A dry-goods merchant explain ed that his sales, since the menin gitis reports have been current, have fallen far below those which he had anticipated. Indications yesterday, however, were that frightened residents of the city have calmed down, and Christ mas shopping again was on. Ought Not Close Dr. G. S. Newsom, director of the county health unit, bos consistently maintained that the city ought not to be closed, and that business should be continued as usual. He was backed in his stand by the state board of health, which advised against any such' more. , no in, ai ... alon. also refused to act on the sug- ni.- ..... ii ... J . - i . gestions of those who would clamp the lid on the city, and decided that. In no sense of the phrase does an emergency exist. It was discovered yesterday that one case, which had been diagnosed as the dread disease, was something else entirely. Furthermore, Dr. Newsom announced last night that thoro were no now cases reported yesterday and that conditions, gen erally, are much Improved. "In my opinion, persons will be for better off If they go about their work as usual, always provided they take such simple precautionary measures as spraying their noses and throats," Dr. Newsom said. At Ike present time there are but three cases of meningitis reported in' essential as when It began Its jour the county. Each of these, as farlney through the house four days us has been reported to the county health office, is doing as well as j could be expected. WHITE RABBITS TOO PROMINENT Wallowa Bunnies Take On Winter Coat Long Before Snows- PROMISE. Ore., Dec. 17. Jack rnbblts in Wallowa county don't know whero to lay the blnme. May be its with tho weather man: may be the fashion columns in the news papers. Dot whatever Is to blame, the rabbits without process of evolution, have been made the goats. Six weeks ago, the rabbits, after consulting the new winter fashions. adopted the newest thing In late fall suitings, and appeared in winter whites. Snow, however, failed to keep up with the mode, and for sev eral weeks the white Jack on the bnre, brown ground has been as conspicuous as a hair in the salad dressing.

The fact became known yesterday when the local unit of the state highway department vs; idvised by) J. H. Scott, market road engineer of the state department? at Salem, that soon a sum would be available provided Ihe county would or had matched the aaount. There was a scurrying to the of fice of the county clerk to deter mine, from the budget report, whether such an amount of money had been allowed. It was found that the county court, tentatively, had provided $35.- 000 for construction ' work, and $5,000 for maintenance. The county was saved. It had not lost the $32,544. In addition let that fund, the county will receive, from the license tat, $10,646.81. according to Wil- nam Lee. county assessor, ; TOBE APPROVED FRIDAY Bill for $325,000,000 Cut Goes Through Without Amendments WASHINGTON.

It was charged that, during 1925, $20,000 was expended by the county. It was further said that the 20 cents per acre for 100,000 acres wa. too much money to be paid for the work. Further, It was pointed out that, according to the court's fig ures, a discrepancy of no more than three and one-half per cent had been found In the amount of stand ing pine. Twenty-seven hundred dollars, which the county might have ac quired because of the reported ad- ouionai aiacaing iimDer, was not even received. That was because the county board of equalisation bad determine ed not to let the figures go on the tax rolls. Big Scrap Monday Monday promises to be a chaotic day in county court. The timber men, it is understood, are prepared to fight for what they believe to be their rights, and the county court, unquestionably, will offer counter verbal blows. One prominent citizen of Klam ath Falls declared yesterday that, in the opinion of the lumbermen, tha county court bas paid considerably more for Its cruising than Is cus tomary and this, it la believed, will be brought out at the session. ' The move of the county court to cruise the pine of Klamath resulted. It was said, after It had been charg ed by various persons that the tim bermen were not taxed as heavily as they should be. The accusation Is denied by the timbermen, who say they have contributed all that they should. Fire Company in Quick Run, Saves Jas.
